Chased and Captured, But too late to

A. despatch from Berlin, Ont., says
:—
A curious case of suicide, peculiar on
amount of the determination which
characterized the act, took place here
on Saturday. The victim of his own
rash act is a young German named
joseph Herman, a bricklayer's and. mas-
on's labourer. He was very erratic in
his habits, and was thought not to be
entirely responsible. He boarded. at
Seibert's boarding-house an Queen
street, and when some of the other
boarders, including bis brother, went
to his room in the afternoon to see
why . he stayed so long, they caught
hira in the eat of administering a dose
of paris green to bilamelf. A enip'er
containing some more of the poison
was lying on a table. A rushwas
made, for Dr. Lackner's office, across
the street, the other men dragging
Herman with them. The doctor ran to
a back room for his stomach pump,
and while the others were not look-
ing the would-be suicide made a bolt
for the street. Up Queen street he
ran, followed shortly by the doctor
and the others in a buggy., He, how-
ever, managed to elude his pursuers,
a small delay being occasioned in
hitching the horse, and ran for nearly
a mile out towards the town limits.
Finally, the doctor and the others
came upon him sitting under a tree
groaning terribly. When be saw them
he jumped up again and dashed off
in the direction of Bridgeport, but he
was weakened by the drug, and fell
before going far. When the doctor
tried to use the stomach pump Her-
man fought and kicked like a mad-
man. At last they got his mouth
open by prying it with a broom handle,
and the pump was applied. The man
was then driven to the hospitalo Ev-
erything possible was done to save his
life, but he died at an early hour in
the morning in great agony; The
suicide was a single man, and it is
believed the reason he took poison was
because of a love affair. He had fre-
quently threatened to take his life,
once because the cook at a hotel where
he was boarding refused to go to a
dance with him. He belonged to No.

Never mind. what my complaint was!
This I may say, that, terrible though
the operation and the disease which
made the operation necessary were, I
was well enough to walk to the infirm-
ary at three days before the day
of ray great ordeal. How little I sus-
peeted anything serious as I sat with
others on a bench awaiting my turn to
enter the consulting -room of the out-
patient department! Ten minutes later
was a, terrified, crushed, trembling,
dazed man, for I had received my sen-
tence, which was that "a very grave
operation =1st be performed within a
week if my life were to be saved."
The succeeding events resembled
a terrible nightmare. I remember giv-
ing the address of my friends to an of-
ficial, being conditeted to a ward, mak-
ing an apology for a meal, and then be-
ing ordered to bed. Two days later the
house -surgeon, when making his visit
to the ward, cata.e to my bedside and.
"Mr. M--" (raelationing the naine of
a great surgeon) "bus decided to per-
forin the operation to -morrow morning
at idles." He then instructed the sis-
ter of the ward to keep we without
breakfast next morning (chloroform,Pm
told, always being more safely adminis-
tered on an enapty stomach), and with a
few cheery words bade me " good-
night,"
But in spite of his cheering words and
a mercifully given sleeping draeight,my
night ivas not "good." imagine your-

quote the surgeon's words), and which
at the best will be followed by weeks of

and it was nearly nine before 1. awoke
to find two nurses and tha ward P.°
ter standing by my bed, the latter being
in charge of a low basket -litter on
wheels, which was used. to convey pat-
ients to and from, the opening theatre.
Pale and trembling, I was assisted in-
to this means of transport, and, a sec-
ond later the rubber -tired wheels were
rumbling along the rather uneven floor
of the ward (the hospital was an old
one en route for the " Chamber • of
Horrors." As I was run along between
the long row of beds, such patients as
were able raised. themselves on their el-
bows to get a glimpse of me, some wish-
ing me "good luck," and others ex-
pressing their pity for me in none too
comforting phraseology.
The journey seemed, and really was,
a long one. After traversing two wards
and a long corridor, I was placed—car-
riage and all—in a lift. and was run
down to the ground -floor, where my

Just before reaching the fateful place,
A LOUD CLIFFR
and a hearty clapping of hands and
stamping of feet caused me to look in-
terrogatively at ray conductor.
"Only them students giving Mr. M—
his usual cheer," he said, cheerfully.
Just at that moment more cheers re-
minded me of the reception a popular
matador receives on entering the arena
before a bull -fight. A moment later
the frosted -glass swing doors were
thrown open, and. I was triindled into
a large, light, and very lofty room,
somewhat in the shape of a horseshoe.
Around the circular side of the place
were tier above tier of benches throng-
ed with eager students—for, unfortun-
ately for me, ray case was a very spe-
cial one, and required a very " heroic "
operation. On the floor stood a nar-
row table of polished mahogany, fitted,
as far as I could see, with all sorts of
springs, screws and appliances for rais-
neg or depressing the head -piece or p1005, or or raising or lowering the top of
the table as a whole. lt, was cover-
ed with blankets, protected by a spot-
lessly white mackintosh sheet. The
room was oppressively hot, and the sil-
ence which, followed upon my arrival
was only broken by the gentle hissing
of the carbolic spray. An odour of pun-
gent but not unpleasant drags, some-
what suggestive of a chemist's shop,
penneated the theatre. Gently, but
quickly, I was lifted on to the table.

surgeon. "h tablespoonful of brandy,

BERLIN'S NEW SEWAGE SYSTEM.
The city Runs Seven Large Sewage Farms
at n Front.
Berlin has dealt successfully with the
drainage question. Until about a quar-
ter of a century ago the disposal of
sewage was effeated in primitive fash-
ion; open drain courses, badly built and
with inadequate fall, ran through many
of the streets, discharging finally into
the River Spree, for whose condition
contamination would be far too mild a
word. A commission was appointed
which, after visiting various countries,
especially England, with the view of
practically studying different systems,
reported in" favor of sewage irrigation
on land at a distance from the city.
The flatness of the plain on which Ber-
lin is built would not allow of any gra-
vitation scheme, and consequently it
was found necessary to adopt steam I
pumping. For the same reason the
sewage could not all be collected at one
spot, and it was therefore decided to
nude the city into twelve dxamage
areas. The ground. at the seven sew-
age farms was well suited for the
purpose, consisting only of sandy
wastes, then growing only stunted firs
and. birches, but now converted into
fertile fields. The total area of the
land which could be devoted to sew-
age irrigation is 22,500 acres; only about
11,000 acres are at present needed. The
following extract is from, Dr. Legge's
account of these Berlin farms: "No
deleterious effect has been noticed on
the health of those living on the sew-
age farms, and, indeed, at some of
them, as at Blankenburg and Malchow,
the city has built various hospitals for
convalescents, for consumptives, and
for women recovering after child -bed,
and the patients sacra. to thrive in theta
as well as they would anywhere else."
The question of whether the ,germs of
typhoid fever and cholera pass through
the soil into the drainage water has
naturally formed a subject of inquiry,
but many bacteriological examinations
conducted specially with the view of
clearing up this point: have answered.
the question in the negative. Until
1892 the laborers working on the sew-
age farms were remarkably free from
typhoid fever, although in 1889 Berlin
itself was visited by a severe epidemic;
in 1892 a few cases occurred among
some farra workers, who were alleg-
ed to have drunk largely of the efflu-
ent from the farm, but in these in -
stenos other possible sources of in-
fection could not be excluded. It is
satisfactory to note that, notwithstand-
ing the enormous cost of working these
Berlin sewage farms, the expenses
h4aivi,e5,11i.n most years, been covered by
the sale of the produce, and in one
year (1889) the surplus amounted to

A NEW PEOPLE FOUND IN EUROPE.
The Smallest Government in Civilization
—Boresnot Is Autonomous, Has All
Army or one Dan, and Pays Only
TOWEL Taxes.
The smallest independent state in Eu-
rope is neither the principality of Mon-
aco. with its population of 12,000 souls,
nor the republic of St. Martin, with
its 8,000 inhabitants, nor that of
Andora, containing only 6,000 citizens,
but Moresnet, with a population of
scarcely 1,200 souls. Moresnet, which is
thoroughly autonomous, is situatea on
the Germano -Belgian frontier, about
half way between Verviers and Aix-
la-Chapelle. It lies in a picturesque
valley, watered. by the little river
Gueule.
Haw Moresnet has maintained its in-
dependence has just been explained to
a French journalist by the Belgian
Mimister in Paris. • The commune of
Moresnet, as it existed under the em-
pire, was, after the retreat a the
French 'in the early years of the cen-
tury, administered exclusively by the
Prussian authorities till 1817. At that
time it was divided into three parts,
in virtue of the treaty of June 26, 1816.
The principal portion was annexed to
Holland, another portion was united to
Prussia, and the third portion, situat-
ed between the other two, formed the
neutral territory. It contains the cala-
mine establishment of the Vieille
Montagne, a.nd the importance of that
establishment, which now produces
yearly some 25,000,000 kilograms of
ore and furnishes Europe with about
fifty per cent. of the zinc it employs,
rendered it impossible for the negoti-
ators to come to an understanding con-
cerning that fraction of the frontier.
It indeed seems—unlikely that a de-
cision concerning it will be taken for
a long. time, as the Governments of
both Germany and 13elgium claim pos-
session of the mines of the "Old Moun-
tain." That is why that piece eif con-
tested territory has, for the, last eighty
years, preserved ite neutral character
and its political independence. ,
Prussia ant Belgium have each a
commissary, whose duty it is to inter-
vene 'in case of difficulties arising; but
that is a purely formal suzerainty.
The Belgian representative is at the
present !moment M, Bleytnesn, Sub -
Prefect of Verviers, and that of Prus-
sia Counsellor Gulcher. The supreme
chief of this minute republic is M.
Schmetz, who contents himself with the
title of Burgomaster, and has °coupled
Ilea post since 1884. The ideal taxation

Scott's Sarsaparilla his Salvation.
Nothing blights existence like the
knowledge that our appearance is re-
pellant to those with whom we come in
contact, nor is there any relief like that
of feeling that the disfiguring causes hays
been removed. Says Mr. William Alger t
My face On one side was a mass of
blotches, some of which were constantly
full of matter. I run a bake shop doing
my own work, but my face got so bad that
customers drifted away. Then I hired a
man and went to a doctor. He said my
blood was in a horrible condition. I said
my business and moved to the city where
Scott's Sarsaparilla was recommended to
me. The first bottle did me much good,
and after taking five bottles my skin is as
clear as possible, and not a sign of my
previous disfigurement. I say Scott's
