j. M. French's wild animsls came
home last week, a. recorded at the time,
and were taken 70 his farm on the Hol.
road to pass the winter Among the
beasts Is very fine panther, and, while
the cages were being arranged, the ami
NAL maraged to open the door and e..
cape. None of the men were near 1t
tho time, and tho panther escaped from
the barn and ran across to the highway
unnoticed. Theirs is small blacksmith
shop on tho road, about half : mile from
EFrench's, sand the ssan Of vulcan ,was
pounding away sta horse shoe and
thinking Of other days, when he heard
fierce growl. Looking around, there
stood the panther in the door, teeth
hanging out like signboards, and eyes
shining like street car lamps. The
blacksmith thought the animal was .
mad dog, aud he hurled she shoe at her
and uttered loud shout. The panther
sprang away and trotted down the road ,
and the blacksmith ran up the. road
and told Herr Paul Schrelf, the lion
tanner, that one Of his pets was loose.
While Shrolf was making his prepara-
for recapture, the panther came along
to farm house, and was sighted by a
watchdog. The dog sailed over the
fence and rushed at the panther, and
there was yelling and bowling which
could be heard for quite distance
When the cloud Of dust was blown
away, there stood the panther and there
lay the dog. the FIRST hardly scratched,
the latter clawed up and dead. Schrolf
coming up, the pather ran down the
road into clump of bushes, where the
men surrounded it and finally effected
its capture. Any generous man would
be willing to give five dollars to know
what that dog thought about half q
minute after he got hold Of the panther,
which he probably supposed was some
town dog without any fight in him.

An Eccentric Star.

The most singular fact connected
with proper motion Of the stars is that
one or two stars are flying though space
with such enormous rapidity that the
combined attraction of all the stars vis-
ible with the telescope could never stop
them. This seems to be especially the
case with a small star, invisible to the
naked, eye designated in ASTRONOMICAL
literature As "Groombridge. 1880" iron,
the astronomer who 6rst recorded its
position. The rate of motion of this
star is abou: seven seconds per year
the greatest known. 1t was hence con.
cluded that it must be very near US
and a number OF astronomers have
sought to determine its parallax, but
have found it to be only about tenth
Of second. Its apparent motion in q
year being seventy times its paralax, ii
moves at least seventy times the dis
lance from the earth to the sun in q
year, or Is, 100000 of miles every day,
and more than 200 miles every: second
From what we know Of the distribution
masses, and number Of stars, it seem.
probable that the attraction of all the
bodies in the universe can never stop
this headlous speed, nor bring this sta'
into any orbit, and that consequently i.
will pass through the universe and
leave it entirely in its passage thr ough
infinite space. If we had accurate OBJ
servatiens Of the stars position 5000
or 1000 years ago, We could speak with
more certainty Of its destiny. We may
expect that our posterity Of a few
thousand years hence will, by the aic
of the observations and table, wo shall
transmit to them, be able to come to a
definite conclusion respecting the agt
and the structure Of the universe

A Buzz Saw Tragedy.

A most melancholy and distressing
accident occurred at the Washington
navy yard a few days since. Mr. Ed
ward P. Sipler, aged thirty-fve years,
and native Of New Jersey, was stand
ing, about 2:30 o'clock, adjusting the
guides of the large circular saw OF
which he had charge. The saw was
running at the rate Of 800 revolutions
per minute, when he missed his strike,
and in an instant was carried into the
fatal grip of the deadly instrument.
Quick as flash went the top of his
head, next his right arm, then his left,
the poor fellows entire body being hor-
ribly mangled and cut in many pieces,
as if by razor. Death was, forum
ately, instantaneous, and as soon as the
machinery could be stopped the re-
mains were gathered together. He was
a stout, hearty man, married, with three
children. The event has cast gloom
over the entire neighborhood.

medicinal herbs on the continent of
America is accomplishing such cures of
diseases which affect the stomach, the
liver, the bowels, the kidneys and the
nervous system, that the grateful
masses have adopted it as their Stand

have gone down before this pure vege-

discovered that all the spirituous excit-

Railway Mortality.

Railway servants lead a life full of
risk. The numbers of this class of per-
sons wounded and killed each year is
appalling appalling that the rail-
way companies manifest the utmost
anxiety to keep the statistics bearing
on the subject from the public. In
England the railway companies are re-
quired by statute to furnish annually a
return of the railway accidents attended
with loss OF life or personal injury.
The companies, it would seem from a
report sent to the London Times by
Mr.. M L. Bass, have made returns as
required, but most inaccurate ones.
The companies are subjected to fine
for any error in their statistics, and so
numerous have these errors been that
the aggregate of fines has reached the
immense figure of $2,000,000. Thus
the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company
reported that thirty-nine of their SER
wants were killed and seventy three in
iured in 1872 The fact is, that fifty
four werekilled and /, 1867 injured. Scat
least Mr.. Bass report says. On all the
railways in England there were returned
killed during the same year 632, and in
iured 1896. Mr.. Phillips, agent Of
Mr.. Bass, argues that the number of
killed was !, $50, and of injured 27,340.
This last year the accidents on English
railways have been even more numer
Gus than in 1872. Tits estimated that
during the last year 1900 railway SER
wants we're killed on English railways,
and $1,000 injured. The number of
injured. according to the returns, was
only LII, an error of 25,829! Eight
railway companies have made erroneous
returns last year. The number of killed
returned by the Lancashire and York
shire Railway Company, for instance, was
only thirty-nine. The real number it
seems was 1917. Some of these non
official statistics are only inferential.
There is, however, every reason to be-
Ieve that they are much more reliable
than those furnished by the railway
companies themselves.
It seems probable that legal proceed
ings against the defaulting companies
will be instituted by the British Board
of Trade. 1t is to be hoped that, in the
interest of the security Of life and limb,
such proceedings will be begun. The
prosecution of the companies which
have failed to send in accurate returns
of the number of their servants killed
and wounded will have tendency to
make them more respectful of human
life. Hence its advisability.-Ch5cago

Gen. Sherman's Religion.

Last winter, when Gen: Sherman made
his famous speech, regretting that they
never had dancing at his house, and
said he liked to see the young people
scooting around" he told me that
after his death there need be no dispute
about his religious faith, for it could be
given in a few words. Said he: 81
believe that if people only act half as
well as they know how, God will for
give the balance" Gen. Sherman has
another short creed. He says this is
not p bad world unless we choose to
make it so. If we are kind to others
in return, we will be Kindly dealt with.
