A PAINFUL PREDICAM KNT. STOttV OF A MAN WHO KAVEH A FELLOW MAN FROM sricihK. From the Washington Star. “Well, I would liardlv be willing to say,” responded the physician to an inquiry made by one of a group of list -ners, “that a man who committed suicide was insane, for I know several persons who were never suspected of insanity before t he act, nor have they been since, who, to my certain knowledge, have attempted suicide. One or two cases have been public and have got into the newspa pers, but the great majority of them are professional secrets, and no one will ever know of them except those few who know now. That’s one of the responsibilities that a physician takes upon himself. “I recall one instance where I saved a man from committing suicide, and. though he never showed the slightest symptom of it afterward, I am positive he was crazy ns a loon at the time of the attempt. It bap pened about six years ago it. a Western city, in a hotel where 1 was the resident physician. I had met the man in the even ing after dinner and bad played a game of chess with him in his apartments, the finest suit in the house. He had arrived at the hotel the day before alone j and had asked for the best rooms, paying for them in ad vance. Then he had asked, for the house physician, and as one result of our acquaintance we were playing this game of chess. We had had one or two mild | drinks duriug the evening, and after the game was finished lie j turned the talk upon suicide, having some very interesting and pcculiaT ideas on the sub ject, chief of which was bis ut ter aversion ti splf murder un der any circumstances whatev er. He was so firm in bis op position that lm almost lost his temper when i ventured the assertion, that suicide migl t ho almost justifiable. “In the midst of this conver sation he suddenly went into the adjoining room and return ed with two revolvers, which he laid down on the table between us. I didn’t understand what they were for and asked him. “ •W4l,’ he answered m the coolest kind of lashi-m, ‘-the time has eonte for tne to die, and you have got to kill me. My eoul would he damned for ever if I did it myself, but if yog do it piy liloq-i will not he on niy own hands. There are two revolvers. You take this one’—handing me one—‘amt I will take the other.

LAWRENCEVILLE. UEORG A, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 12th 1897. SHE HAS FORGOTTEN. A WOMAN CANNOT RE: MKM TIER HUSBAND OR CHILDREN. Mrs. Mamie Kusielin is one of the strangest patients ever sheltered at the City hospital, St, Louis. Intelligence is de picted in her countenance, and she does not. even know her name. Mrs. Kusielin lives with her husband in North Twenty-sec ond street. She is 28years old, comely, and her dress is much neater and richer than that usually worn by- inmates of the observation ward. One day recently Mrs. Eusie lin fell while she was preparing dinner. She struck her head on some object, just what she don’t know and her husband is unable to learn. Beyond leav ing a slight lump on the back of her bead no physical injury is perceptible. When bpr husband returned from work in the evening, she answered his ring Biid admitted him. He threw of! his coat and asked if supper was ready. Mrs. Kusielin wrinkled her brows, thought, earnestly fora moment or two and solemnly annoiini ! (hat she had forgot ten. Thinking his wife was joking, lie put his arm about her and said they would go and see. On entering tin* dining room it was apparent that noth ing had been done toward pre paring the evening meal. Mr. Eusilin was inclined to lie angry and demanded the reason for his wife’s neglect. Again her brow wrinkled, she scratched her head and slowly said she had forgotten. Her husband spoke sharply to her. Thi n their little daugh ter spoke tip and said her mam ma had fallen and hurt her liead. Mrs. Kusielin was questioned lib nit the fall, but, as she did to previous questions, she re plied only that she had forgot ten. Sin-was so evidently in earnest in trying to recall events that lnr husband le eime convinced she had seri ously injured herself, and lie determined to have a physician. The doctor could not under stand her case, and ho advisid j tlmt sin- be sent to the hospital | for observation. Dr. Otto Slitter, the hospital superintendent, is puzzled over her ease. He asked her name. She rose i’i her c >t, looked directly in i Hi*- do-tor's face the puzzled! look crept i vor her eounto-i nance, and she said she could j not recall it. “Is it not Mrs. Mamie Etude -liu ?’’ the doctor asked. “1 believe so,” was her an swer, Tiion she was asked if she; were married, if she hud any: children, when she was injured,! un i many other questions. To nli of these she returned tlm same answer—“l've forgotten.’) —St. Louis I’osHtyplM lit(W USTRIOHES lit \. j Considerable misconception j prevails ns to Ihe manner in which the ostrich runs.

Did you know that one of the most industrious men in Gwin nett county is found in the per son of Col. Tlios. K. Winn? He has recently moved to his country home, three miles west of Lawrenceville, and is devot ing his tiino to the improve ment of his lands- He planted a vineyard a few y airs ago and it is now oi.e of the finest in the county. There is nothing Col. AVinn enjoys more than farming, a* he was reared upon a farm. After serving four years in the army of the Confederacy, he came home and begun the study of law. When he was admitted to the bar lie located iji Roswell and practiced awhile, hut his health failed him and lie gave up the profession. In 1800 Col. Winn was elected to represent the “Bloody Ninth” in Congress, and a more honest and faithful Congress man this district lias never had. When the Populist party sprung up lie joined the ranks, and while ho is not taking much stock in politics now, he is ss true as steel to the principles of his party. & » * Rev. W. A. Dodge, of Atlan ta, who conducted a series of meetings in Lawrenceville re cently, is one of the best preach ers in Georgia. He was con verted when !!! years old and began preaching at 17. Most of bis sermons were on scriptural Holiness, and he would always prove bis assert tions by the Bible. Mr. Dodge is a preacher of the old Methodist style and he never fails to impress his congregation when exhorting them to “Turn your feet unto the testimonies of t.ho Lord, and delay not to keep all His commandments.” * * • We have within the bounds of Lawrenceville the best school j in the county, under the charge of Prof. James A. Bagwell. When the new school build ing was erected Col. Duvant was chosen as the superintend ent and a year later R. John- 1 ston took charge, and they both had very fair sohools. Last June the Board of Edu cation, consisting of Sum J, Winn, D. T. Cain, J. P. Byrd, L. F. McDonald and M, K. Kw-I ing, eleefed Pp’f. Bagwell a* the Superintendent, and on the. 2 1st of September Hie school opened witn nearly a hundred pupils, not merely on the roll hut in actual attendance. This was t{\e largest opening that has been known here for yearn.

It is hard for us. who have not studied elec tricity, to understand it. All light is snid to be vibrations of the air but some of those light waves are too long and sumo too short to be seen by the eye. Nearly twenty years ago Prof. A. G. Bell discovered that these long ravs would pass through wood, stone ami other opaque bodies: but Prof. Roetgen, of the University of Wurzburg, Germany, was the first to use ravs. On the fourth of Janu ary, IWftl, he announced that he had discovered a new kind of ray never before used hv scien tists which would be of great value to the world as it would photograph objects through al most any opaque substance, that the bones and internal or gans of the body could be shown by it as plainly as tin* face is -Imwii by the ordinary photo graph. His announcement pro duced great excitement through out the world and experiments were at once made in all of the colleges, not only in Euiope but also of the United States. The new ray is not a light at all; it is producedby electricity in a glass tube and will pass through rub ber, wood, card-board, llesli and other solid substances and act on the photographic plate from which it is not necessary to re move the wooden slide. There have been photographs taken of silver coins enclosed in a wood en box a quarter of an inch thick, and also the bones of the hand through the flesh. These wondeiful rays pass through flesh so easily that it makes* only a slight shadow on the plate. The chief use of the X ray is in surgery, It has been used in locating bullets and. | diseased parts of the internal ! organs. I One surgeon located a needle ! in a young lady’s leg which had ! entered the upper part of her j body months before, anil had (worked itself below tin* knei . A plate can be placed in the ! month and photographs made | of points of the formation of the * bead. It is thought it cun be j used in the treatment of con | sumption, small pox, an/l many I kinds of fever. Its uses are so 1 many and its discovery of such recent date, that its true value is hardly known as yet. Lawrence Exem.
