J > i nomas ouiiivan u his name' nd 1m admitted suffering from ft cancer of the lower Jaw. After eome‘ time the sturgeon in charge of the cast do* elded to amputate the lower Jaw, Hop* Intr to arrest the progress of the can* oer, but it did not hare that result, and five suooewive operations have been performed up to date, with the nsult that the lower jaw, tongue and soft parts of the throat hare been out away, tearing nothing but the upper palate and uvula suspended over the cavity which extends down to. the larynx, almost to the junetlon of the neck and the breast. Respiration la effected directly through the throat, the nose being use less for breathing, and is in no way connected with the organs whtoh It was originally Intended to supply with air. Food Is oondueted to the stomach by means of a funnel and soft rubber tube. Notwithstanding' this terrible ex perience Mr. Sullivan Is of a cheerful disposition, and whiles away the time reading. He makes futile attempts at talking, but as nothing other than a ' mumbling sound escapes him he has to convey a knowledge of his wants by means of pencil and paper. But for waste from inactivity his ap pearance is quite healthy, except when looking at his head, whleh is covered with bandagos extending around his upper jaw to hide the ghastliness of his face. He is about M years old, a native of Ireland and a miner by trade. He has no relatives that are known of on the ooast queer theory or leprosy,. I* Is Propagated bp Cannibalism in Oae " antes. Mr. Boyle visited Burmah, the Malay native- states, Sumatra, Slam, Borneo, Java, Australia, New Zealand, Samoa, the Sandwich Islands and America. Of all the facts noted by him as a sanitarian, the moot remarkable are those relating to leprosy, a disease which he believes to be spreading to an alarming extent all over the world. '■ He was particularly strusk by the: gigantic proportions the evil has assumed in Burmah. The steps of the great Shwedagon pagoda at Rangoon, the Mecca of the Indo-Chinese Bud dhists, he found to be "olosely lined from top to bottom with lepers, suffer ing from that loathsome disease in its worst forms and most advanced stages.” A number of the viotimft examined by Mr. Boyle “presented * most sickening spectacle.” Yet no> provision worthy of the name appeare> to be made for the maintenance or treatment of these poor lepers, who are thus compelled to resort to begging to keep themselves in existence. In the Sandwich islands, Mr. Boyle was strongly impressed by the terrible' effects of the curse of leprosy, whioh, he says, has nearly decimated the na tive population. He has a curious theory to the offset that the propagation of leprosy haa been to a large extent connected with cannibalism, the disease “being spread wholesale through the eating of in fected bodies.” He haa frequently seen in New Caledonia and the South Sea islands human bodies “hanging up in the native huts, intended for fu ture repasts, though then in an ad vanced stage of decomposition and ex haling a sickening odor.” THE WORD “8NOLLYOOSTBR.** Vint Deed la IMS by a Vlgerras OMt|ls Campaign Orator. The word “Snollygoster" was first osed to describe a place-hunting dema gogue, says Colonel Ham, of Georgia, back in 1848, when the Niagara inci dent threatened war with England. There was a joint debate that year in a Georgia town between John Kelly and Jonas Gaines, rival candidates for the legislature, and Kelly spoke first. The chief plank of his platform, by the way, was that the president should seize all the roads to Liverpool so as to prevent a salt famine in case of wan After he had declaimed with great effect on the necessity of plenty of salt, Gaines arose and spoke these well-remembered words: “Fellow-elt zens, ef there’s anything on top side of earth that makes me mad, it’s ter see a snollygoster of a feller a contin ually a swipin’ aroun’ after the ortho graphy ov a little office what he lcain’t never git, and hain’t got sense enough to fill if he could git it” Finally he reached the salt question, and raising himself on his tiptoes, he yelled. “Liv erpool—h—1—North Carolina salt is a durned sight sal ter, and there’s a dozen roads to the works.” Gaines won the debate and was elected. * Hiklif Ante UufaL “One year,’* says a Florida orange grower, “when few of my trees bore much fruit on account of insect rav ages, I secured a large crop, I in duced the ants to frequent my trees by syringing the trees with a strong solu tion of syrup and water. The solution dried, leaving a saccharine substance adhering to the leaves, twigs and branches of the trees, in seeking which the ants killed the insects which in fested the trees." An Old Saying Mr. Charles O. Leland traces the , origin of the saying in reference to a small place “there is not room enough to swing a cat" to a superstition cur rent in Transylvania. In this country, it is said, if a cat runs away, when re covered she must be swung three times % around to attach her to the dwelling. The same is done with a stolen eat by . a thief if he would retain it.
