MANY HUPELESI UASES.l NHMBER or FAMOUS MEN wno HAVE CHEATED DEATH. '9 Cccll Rhodes Was (.‘lvcn Eighteen Moulhs In “1nd: Io le.~--s‘lr Amlrcw Clark Was Atlacked by (‘onulmpilon “In-n a Young Man-Mr. .h-clilbuld “'iu DH- churged I’rom the Ilospllal nu Incur- able. When a man is sentenced to death -â€"by doctor or by judgeâ€"his career is regarded as closed. Metaphorically speaking, his grave is dug and his coffin made, says London Answers. But in many notable cases the grim tyrant Death is cheated of his victim for many years. The condemned man most heretically refuses to die, and proves his vitality to the whole world. If you were to examine the books of a doctor who used to practise at Bishop's Stortford you would find a hopeless entry anent the health of a certain Cecil John Rhodes. He was very ill, and the doctor opined that even South Africa would not prolong his life for more than eighteen months. He made this entry against his patient's name. How young Rhodes cheated death Ind defied the faculty is shown by the MAP OF SOUTH AFRICA. But for him the Boers would reign supreme, for it was his action in fore- stalling them by annexing Rhodesia that put the first spoke in their wheel, and earned for himself their undying hatred. Lord Wolseley, the Commander-in- Chief of the British Army, was mediâ€" nally pronounced dead in the Crimea. He was so defiant of discipline and science as to live. His existence to- day is a standing instance of insub- lordination. No‘ one is more typically the British tarâ€"bold, breezy. strongâ€"than Lord Charles Beresford. But as a lad he was puny and delicate. As he step- ped on board H.M.S. "Marlborough" an old tar scrutinised the puny middy, Ind remarked; "'Nother candidate for Iea-berryin’ come aboard, Bill." Sir Andrew Clark, the celebrated physician, who died at a ripe old age, ,was attacked by consumption when a young man. A specialist confirmed young Clark's own diagnosis of his case. “Twelve months," said the .great man SHORTLY AND SIGNIFICANTLY. How he lived fifty times that peri lad is well known. He cured himself by fresh airâ€"for the modern out- door treatment of consumption was originated by Sir Andrew Clark from his own experience. His Holiness the Pope is a standing defiance of death. He has always been of the frailest and most delicate health. It is a fact that he was elected to the Chair of St. Peter twen- ty-two years ago because the cardiâ€" nals anticipated his early death, and the consequent early recurrence of the vacancy. But he has outlived all those who Donated upon his early decease. He has been Pope twenty-two years, and at least once every year he has been dying or dead, according to trust- worthy reports. Mr. Archibald Forbes. the famous mar correspondent, who died the other day, owed his chances in life to a doctor’s sentence of death. He was a trooper in the Royal Dragoons in 186l. He had risen to acting quar- termaster, and promotion would have soon followed, had not his health broken down. After eighteen months in the military hospital he was dis- charged as incurable. He placed himself under a London doctor, was cured in six weeks, and then “'ENT DOWN TO ALDERSHOT. to show the Army surgeon.how lie was. "Well you ought to be dead !" declared the doctor grudginglv. Thus Britain and the Army lost a brave soldier. and journalism and the world gained a brilliant writer and, the prince of war correspondents. The life of charming and brave Rob- ‘ art Louis Stevenson was one long de- , fiance of death. Pitifully weak in body. his great brain and brave spirit carried him to behind that which will not let him be Basily forgot. It is not generally known that Mr. A. J. Balfour was formerly a death- naunted man. Until he blossomed forth as Chief Secretary for Ireland he was a confirmed hypochondriac ind valetudinarian. He was not itrong. but he made matters Worse by his imagination. and by physicking himself. The story goes that his mantelpiece l was covered with medicine-bottles when the offer of the Irish Secretary- CEY LON GREEN TEA is superior to that of the finest Japan tea grown. ship arrived. He confided his fears to a doctor, who told him the office would save his life. He took it, and with it health. Very different was the escape of another member of the House from death. In 1867 Mr. J. r. X. O‘Brien, now M. P. for Cork, was tried for high treason in connection with the Fen-i ian movement. He was convicted, and sentenced to be hanged, DRA\VN, AND QUARTERED. However, this was commuted to- penal servitude for life, and subse- quently he was released. No other man can boast such an experience. Many famous men have cheated death for years, and so altered llhe World’s history. Isaac Newton was so puny and delicate a babe that his survival was accounted miraculous. In l753â€"thirty-eight years before his deathâ€"John \Vesley was so convinced of his approaching death by consump- 1 tion that he wrote his epitaph. He wrote himself as having “died of a consumption in the fifty-first year of his age, not leaving, after his debts are paid, ten pounds behind him." Both doctors and himself were falsi- fied, and in three months he was travelling and preaching again. Pitt the younger was another who defrauded death. He lived to fortyâ€" four, but the doctors had sentenced him to an early grave when a child. I How he accomplished what he did was , a miracle to them, as to us. Thesel are but a few of the threatened men who have lived long. â€"’â€"â€"â€". PERSPIRATION. __ Hon, Monkeys and Ilorses Seem to llnvc the Host Ilse for ’I‘Iils I’ccullar Function. Pcrspiratiorn is almost peculiar to men, monkeys and horses. Horses sweat all over the body and so do: human beings, but monkeys, it is said, sweat only on the hands, feet and face, The use of perspiration is mainly to cool the body by its evaporation, alâ€" though it is generally believed that waste materials are also excreted through the sweat glands when the action of the kidneys is interfered with. In animals that perspire but little, the cooling of the body is ef- fected by evaporation from the lungs, as we see in the case of a panting dog. v I ' The amount of perspiration varies greatly, according to the temperature of the surrounding air, the condition of health, the degree of exercdse taken the amount of fluids imbibed, &c. The average amount of perspiration is thought to be about two pints a day, but this is, of course, much increased in hot weather. I . l ‘ In damp weather evaporation from the skin is lessened and so one seem to perspire more profusely than in dry weather; but this is only apparent, for really transpiration is lessened when the atmosphere is charged with mois- ture. Hyperhidrosis is the medical term i used to denote an abnormal increase in perspiration. The increase may be general from the entire body, or confined to some particular part. as the face, the hands or the feet. Pro- fuse sweating is cases of debility stout persons. very common in excessively It occurs also in con- nection with various dist-uses, such as consumption, night pneui moniu, inflammatory i'hrumatism and Certain nervous disorders. Sudden emotion may muse increased perspira- and in su an I s, forty-four, when he. died at his ocean-home, Apia, leuving‘ ,tion. The opposite condition, a great diminution or absence of sweating, anhidrosis, is lunch rarer, and occurs usually in connection with some disâ€"l ease of the skin. Sometimes the char- acter of the secretion is changed, and ‘cases of black, blue, gray, yellow or red sweating have been described. The treatment of profuse perspira- :tion depends upon the cause. Tonics,! lcold or cool bathing, especially salt:a ibathing, temperate exercise, and rub. ,bing of the skin are useful in cases do- 1Lendent upon general debility or obes- .ity. Spraying or sponging the body with brandy and water, vinegar and , water, or a solution of tannin or boric lacid is useful. Certain drugs which have a ten- dency to diminish perspiration are sometimes employed to reduce the night sweats of consumption, whnn these are so excessive as to weaken lthc already debilitated patient and to prevent 2-15” needed sleep. ‘chinery have changed all that, THE NEEDLE. The Roman proverb corresponding with our “To hit the nail on the head" was "To touch the question with the point of the needle," a pro- verb which indicates not only how highly needIeWork was esteemed by tho ancients, but that with the point of the needle we touch a fundament- 211 industry, and one which rises often to an art. “A seam was the first ef- ‘fort to overcome a difficulty.“ This seam, which appears so commonplace, was the progenitor of constructive in- dustry, the first civilizer of the race. Where tnat first Seam was made, or by whose hands first fashioned, who can tell? The needle used was, no doubt, an eyeless bodkin, such as the Kaffirs use toâ€"day, and the animalor vegetable fibre, which was the thread, was drawn with difficulty through the skins that were joined to form a garment. Muscle was required for the sewing of those days. The in- ventror of a needle with an eye had taken a long step, or, more strictly, a long Stitch, forward in the seam which joins so many chapters in the history of the race. The first needle with an eye which we have any knowledge of is found in the Neolithic caveman‘s grave. It is made of bone and neatly fashioned. Later came the needles of hammered ‘bronze and iron, and in Pompeii have been discovered oven surgeon‘s needles. This venerable implement of industry has shown but small varia- tions in form. Its long, slim body, its pointed foot, its Cyclops eye in middle of its head, are practically the same, whether made of bone and found in a caveman‘s grave or of bronze or gold in Scandinavia or of steel to-day. In these days, when needles may be 'had alt 5 cents a paper, each paper containing two dozen, it is hard to realize the value placed long ago on one, or how much the possessor of that one needle was envied. The value of this possession is emphatical- ly set forth by the performance, in 1566, at Christ’s College, Cambridge, of a comedy called "Grammar Gurton's Needle,” the hero of which was the Gammer’s lost needle.
