SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE.
Hi* Misfit Title I* * Legacy From the
English Parliament.
The title of "speaker" Is a pnlpnMc
misnomer, If the word Ih to bo used Iti
the ordinary sense, for most emphat
ically It is not bis chief duty to make
speeches, but to maintain order and de
corum, to conduct the business of the
house and In a general way to super
vise thing? In that larx? and tumultu
ous assembly. Be Is expected to de
liver a short Inaugural address and n
short speccb at the close of each ses
sion, the only speechmaking which cus
tom make* binding ou him.
The speaker has the same right as
any other member to speak from the
floor. In tbe earlier days It seems to
have been tbe mlo rather than tbe ex
ception. It was Henry Clay's habit to
participate in debate whenever tbe
spirit moved bim, wblcb was quite fre
quently.
It being a most insignificant portion
of tbe duties of tbe preHidlng officer of
the house of representatives to mnke
speeches, how came he by the misfit
title of speaker? It Is not a difficult
matter to find the reason for the rnls
uomer. The presiding omc?f of the
bouse of commons Is called speaker be
cause originally be spoke for the bouse
to tbe king and tbe lords on ceremonial
occasions. We simply borrowed the
title from the English without rime
or reason, as we borrowed so many
otber features of our government from
them.- Chainp Clark in Youth's Com
MAGNIFIED ECHOES.
Curious Results Produced by Shots
Fired High In the Air.
To most iierxous It would scorn Im
possible for tin ecbo to be louder ttinn
tbe suiind (bat produced tbe ecbo. but
under certain rattier peculiar condi
tion* this Ik really trtie.
When n revolver la fired from a bal
loon the report 1st sharp. but uot so
loud as It would be If tbe gun were
flred on t tie surfuce of tbe enrtb.
If tbe balloon bt up something like
2.00(1 feet or Metier there will bo n few
seconds' alienee after the revolver shot,
aud then a roar or deep rvimblo will
rise from Ibe earth.
If hu explosive Is lowered from the
basket of the Imlloon until It bangs a
fetv hundred feet below and It la dis
charged witb an electric spark from a
buttery In tbe band* of one of the aero
nauts there will come to tbo ears of
those above a report like a revolver
shot and then n few seconds of silence,
followed by a pen I of the loudest thun
der ever heard.
There Is no solid background about
or above the bnllooulsts to produce a
rebound of Ibe atmospheric sound
wave, and the air Is more dense below.
Thus when the sound waves penetrate
the deuser lower strata of air and then
tbe solid enrtll tbe ecbo produced
seems to the ears of the occupants of
the balloon far louder thau tbe original
souml.- Harper's Weekly.
Plantagenet's Pedigroe.
The longest authentic pedigree on
record was probably that of the late
General Plantuveuet Harrison, which
Is Inserted In bis "History of Yor

eral's ancestors are numbered the Em
perors Clandlus. Diocletian and Max!
mllllanus. t.'onderguslus. king of tbe
vandals: Kdward lit. of England and
many lesser known monarcbs. Gen
eral Harrison always claimed to be a
legitimate prince of the blood royal of
England and Scandinavia. He was
known among bis friends as tbe "Ijtst
of tbe riantagcnets." a title wblcb fit
ted him well, as be stood six feet four

A NEW
REMEDY
By DONALD CHAMBERUN -
When 1 Km duatcd from the medical
college 1 secured tho position of house
surgeon tit a hospital. I bad not been
there long when a man was brought
I in who had fallen from a scaffold. Ho
? was dying and I told those who
I brought lilin there that nothing could
be done for bliu His brother was cot
satisfied and telephoned for a physi
cian, Dr. Ulackwell. who stood very
high In the profession, to com* right
over. Ho went to work on the patient
as hood as be arrived and succeeded In
prolonging the man's life perhaps an
hour It struck me that he would have
better let tbe man die at once Instead
of prolonging the agony.
Thane connected with the dead man
complained of ino to the doctor, and
? before ho departed be said to me prl
i vately:
! "Young man, never give up a patient
until he Is dead. When you have tried
every remedy applicable to the case
try something that Is not applicable?
hot water, cold water, mustard, alco
hol. nnytblng? to penjuado him to be
lieve that you have not given up hope.
Such n course may carry him over tho
bar and bring him Into a snug harbor."
I remembered Dr. Blaekwell'a ad
vice. Wo practiced In tho same town
and occasionally ran across each other,
though he had a practice much supe
rior to mine. However, 1 met a young
lady whom I wished to mnko my wife,
a Miss Helen Stanford, and, although
1 was not very well sturted In my pro
fession, 1 was so deeply In lovo that
I was not Inclined to wait. Tbe lady's
father was of a different opinion. Ho
positively forbade the match? at least,
till I couM count on a practice of 15.
300 a year.
I was In despair, for tbe best I could
scru|>e together was $2,000 n year, and
I felt sure that ten years would bo re
quired to reach the goal. If I ever
reached It Helen loved me. but was
fearful that If she married me she
would be a drag on mo Instead of a
helpmeet. So she decided with her fa
ther.
One evening, about a year after I
had been turned down, there enmo a
sharp ring at my telephone, and on
taking tip the receiver I beard Helen's
voice.
"A1, n""' ?* AnfA Pfl(h(tr
hns cot n fishbone In bis throat and 1*
struggling desperately to get It out."
"I'll co right around," I said. and.
dropping the receiver, rnn out to my
buggy that was standing at tbo door
nud drove madly to tbelr bouse.
On reaching there 1 found Mr. Stan
ford frightened out of bis nits. He
was literally choking to death. I dl
, reeled the family to call for nnotber
doctor? Black well. If tbey could get
him? and then I went to work wltb ev
ery device I could tbluk of to get out
the fishbone. Nowadays tbey resort
to tracheotomy? that Is, cutting a bole
In the windpipe through wblcb tbe pa
tient may breathe? but If tbey prac
ticed It then t was not up to It I
thrust hooked Instruments down the
throat, but somehow I couldn't get a
purchase on the boue. Under my
operations my patient was every ooo
j ment getting more frightened and final
ly fell Into such a condition that 1 could
not get at bis throat
I Meanwhile messengers were running
bltber and thither to grt another doc
tor. with no luck In finding one. Then
| tbe advice Blackwell bad given me
about never giving up bope wltb a pa
tient till he was dead occurred to me,
and. slue* I could not think of another
direct remedy In tbe ense of Mr. Stan
ford. 1 decided to apply an Indirect
remedy.
"Have you any fat bam In tbe
bouse?" I asked of those standing
abont
"Grease of any kind?"
"We bnvo some bacon."
"Bring some at once."
Tho bacon was brought, and, cutting
It Into small bits, I forced the patient's
Jaws apart and dropped them one by
one down Into the throat
Now. whether nny of the pleccs
went down Into the stomach or not
whether tho fat bacon made tho pa
tient sick. I don't know to this day,
but he threw up his dinner, and with
it up came the flsbhone. ?
Before be could even speak Mr. Stan
ford grnsped me by the hand, and
when be did a|M>ak his first words
were:
"You've xaved aiy life."
At the moment there was a tins at
the doorbell, and In came Dr. Black
well. My patient pointed to mi and
repeated with difficulty that I had
saved him. The doctor looked at the
bacon fat 1 was wiping off my fingers
and was about to ask what treatment
I bad nsed when I tipped blm the
wink.
"I used an emetic, doctor." I said,
"expanding the throat"
"Very right" said the doctor. "Jnst
the thing."
Dr. Blackwell and I went out to
gether. and when we were alone he
looked at me for an explanation. I re
minded blm of the advice be bad given
mo at the hospital and bow I had
proflted hy It. Fie was much amused
and m.v act finite won blm to mo. Soon
, afterward he took me Into bis practice
. with him. aud Mr. Stanford ceased his
opposition to me from the time I re
llevt-d blm of a fishbone In tb? throat
' by a dose of raw bacon.
1 married Helen Stanford, and we
- have been very happy togethor.
