open the breach, wouldn't work, so
he cocked the gun, not knowing
there was a cartridge within. With
the gun over hie knee he tried to
force down the lever, when the ham-
mer fell, and the discharee blew off
all, the upper pert . of the father's
head and face, killing him instantly,
the boon remaining in one hend of
the corpse and the pipe in the other

TO AWAKE VITALITY.
A Prenclo. Scientist Invents Rhyth-
mical Traction.
A despatch from Paris says :-Dr.
Laborde has made an interesting
communicate -ix to the Academy of
Medicine on his success in awakening
vitality by . a method of rhythraical
traction, 'which he discovered. The
system has been tried with gratifying
results in several cases of attempted
suicide by hanging, drowning and
suffocation,. rhythmical traction in
each " case being applied to the
tongue.
The successful experiments describ-
ed to the academy were the cases of
two apparently stillborn infants. In
one instance, after operating -for an
hour, the ,infant caane to life as if
awakening' from slumber. In - the
other case .alcoholic friction, flagella,
tioe, and artificial injection of air
into the lungs were vainly tried be-
fore the traction system was em-
ployed. This, after prolonged ef-
fort, established respiration. Dr.
Laborde has now -,constructed an
electric motor, by inFeals of which
rhythrnicel reaction can be main-
tained \for hours.

IltIembers of British Cabinet Suffer -
o. Result.
,A. deep:tech froiu Londou says: -It
will, yodel/is, not. be considered stue
prising that. the stun of the lest i
two years has told severely on the f
heolth of certain members of the
British lilinistey. Three of them,
Lord Salisbury, Mr. Balfour and Mr.
Chumberfain, ttre off duty for the
present.
Alt% Balfour scouts to be In the
worst shape of this distinguished trio
of statesmen. Ile has been very
weak, and though it is now reported
that his fever has abated, it will be
hne belore he is abia to -take,
his place in the Cabinet.
Lord Salisbury's ailment is not
considered serious, but, for a long
time it has been apparent that the
anxieties of the war were telling on
the Premier. What with advanced
age and the heavy responsibility he
has load so long to bear, he is un-
able to bestow on affairs of state
that keen and vigorous attention he
has given to the welfare of the Em-
pire in the past. There is no truth,
o far as can be ascertained, in. the
rumors published in the Liberal
press of his early retirement. Tb.e
extent to which his collegtgues have
tried to lighten his labors has been
necessarily limited. Even his tem-
porary withdrawal from duty causes
anxiety.
Mr. Chamberlain's confinement to
his house . has also caused anxiety
among his colleagues, for, though bis
ailment is also sato not to be of a
serious chara,cter, still it is ev•ideat
in his case; also that the burden of
the war, which has mainly fallen on
his shoulders, has left its mark, and
that, in spite 01 his robust constitu-
tion, his health requires careful nurs-
ing.
