FOUR GOOD ONES A Quartett of Items well Worth Reading. THRILLING STORIES. Where People Drink blood and Bathe in the Same. Klever way of Killing Woives Some Thrilling Ad ventures “Did you ever see people bathe in blood and drink it by the cup ful!” asked Ellwood Johnson, of Boston. “I saw that very thing recently in Rome during a tour of Europe. It was at a place called theZooth ennic Institute, and it is quite a fad there. I have heard of people drinking blood, fresh from slaugh tered animals, for the cure con sumption, all my life, but at this institute people drink the blood,or bathe in it, for the cure of gout, rheumatism and the malaria, which is such a curse in the mar shes around Rome. The Roman doctors have great faith in the curative powers of blood, and the patients claim to be benefited by the treatment. For my part, hov.- ever efficacious it is, I think I would rather fall a victim to dis ease than be cured by such to me. revolting methods.” One use of the whalebone to which the Esq limaux put it, and one case of which came under my personal observation. I must not allow to pass unnoticed, writes Eugene Mellville, of the United States Navy. Whenever wolves have been unusually predatory, have destroyed a favorite dog or so, or dug up a cache of reindeer meat just when it was needed, or in any way have aroused the hire of the Innuit hunter, he takes a strip of whalebone about the size of those used in corsets, wraps it up into a compact helical mass like a watch spring, having previ ously sharpened both ends, and then ties it together with reindeer sinew, and plastersit with a com pound of blood and grease, which is allowed to freeze and forms a binding cement sufficiently strong to hold the sinew string at every second or third turn. This, with a lot of similar looking baits of meat and blubber, is scattered over the snow or ground, and the hungry wolf devours it along with the others, and when it is thawed out by the warmth of his stomach, it elongates and has the well known effect of whalebone on the system, but having the material advantage of interior lines its effects are more rapid, killing the poor wolf, with the most horriable agonies, in a couple of days, ‘‘A few years ago,” said Charles J. Patterson, of Philadelphia, “I learned the secret of the life of a man who had passed more than a quarter of a century with scarely a Smile. He had been a physician and surgeon, and on one occasion had to remove an injurnedeye and prevent total blindness. The night before the operation he had been drinking heavily with some friends and allthough the following morn ing he was sober, his hand was un steady and his nerves unstrung. After ad mistering chloroform he made a fatal and horrible blun der, removing the well eye by mis take and thus ennsiging has pa tient to prepetual blindness. The moment he discovered his error he turned the man over to a com petent surgeon, deeded everything he possessed to him. and hurried from the neighborhood like a con victed thief. The remainderof his life was one constant round of re morse, and he rapidly developed into a confirmed misanthrope. The secret of his life was known to a numbs r of people, hut when it was finally revealed to me it explained a mystery and made me to respect the man, for however grave was his original blunder, which in some respects was, of course, worse than a crime, his repentance was of the most genuine charac | ter.” A’man who hasjlied three times has been describing his experiences | He is a lim man connected with an electric company. According to | his story he was first knocked out by an accumulation of gases in a manhole: the next time was by an electric shock, and the third by sunstroke. “I don't see,” said he, “why they make such a fussabout suffering and all that from an elec tric shock. I don't think it was half had.” He was upon a pole when the shogk came and was sitt ing with his leg inter locked around the pole. “When tlie shock came” he said, “it just knocked me backwards the same as if you had hit me in the head with a hammer, ami down I went, head first, but not very far, because my locked heels caught on the lowest cross beam, and there I hung. My senses were numbed right off, and I hadnt the least sensation, except wait ing rather unconcerned a couple of seconds; then I lost my senses” He says that by all odds the worst was the sunstroke. For two hours he suffered such torture as Dante describes. All the time he was conscious and the bad things he had done in his life kept parading themselves before him. He could Ivar the people say that he was dead, and could understand their discussions over ways and means to determine whether there was a spark of life left —all this was go ing on for several hours until he did really lose all consciousness. Aftes that he was for three weeks in a hospital.
