How q Cannon Ball sensates.
From the London Family Herald.


M. Courthouse, the French sayant,
served in Napoleon's army and was
present at many engagements. At the
battle of Wagram, in 1909, he was in
the heat of the fray; the ranks around
him had been terribly thinned by shot,
and at sunset he wss nearly isolated.
While reloading his musket he was shot
down by a cannon ball. His impression
was that the ball had passed through
his legs below his knees, completely
severing them, for he suddenly sank
down, shortened, as he believed, to the
extent Of about a foot in measurement.
The trunk of the body fell backward
on the ground and the mans senses
We're paralyzed by the shock. Thus
he lay, motionless, among the wounded
and dead all night, not daring to
move, when consciousness partially re-
turned, lest the loss of blood should
be fatally increased. That he felt
no pain he attributed to the stunning
effect of the shock on his nervous
system, and he was still mentally too
numbed to be able to reason as to why
he had not bled to death. At early
dawn he was aroused by one of the
medical staff, who came round to help
the wounded. whats the matter
with you, my good fellow?" said the
surgeon. "Ah, touch me tenderly,
DOCTOR" replied M. Courthouse; "a
cannon ball has carried Off my legs!"
The surgeon examined the limbs re-
ferred to, and then, giving him a good
shake, said, with a loud laugh: "Get
up with you there's nothing the matter
with your legs!" NJ. Courthouse sprang
up in utter establishment, and stood
firmly on the legs which he had thought
lost forever. 81 felt more thankful
said he, ethan I ever felt in the whole
course Of my life before. I had not q
wound about me. I had indeed been
shot down by an immense cannon-ball,
but instead of passing through my legs,
as I firmly believed it had the ball had
passed under my feet and had ploughed
a hole in the earth beneath at least a
foot in depth, into which my feet sud
denly sank, giving me the idea that !
had been thus shortened by the loss OF
my legs"

What q Fall Was There.


This is very sad-that the Apostle of
the Beautiful should fall to the rank of
sixpenny Snowman. When he was in
America he would not allow any one
to enter the hotel parlors, where he
descanted upon the Bitterness of the
Consummate, for less fee than 81.
But here he is announcing in the Liver
pool papers that he will lecture in Hope
Hall next Saturday evening on per
sonal Impressions of America;" and
then in all the Philistine brutality of
printers ink, follows the line: ''Admis-
sion-Front Seats, Is; Gallery, Cd" :"
Poor Oscar! Yet in the Bowerv one
can see the Fat Woman, the Tattooed
Girl, the India Rubber Man, and the
Only Original Sea Serpent, all for Il
dime, with music by the band thrown
in. That's two and one-half cents
cheaper than the Hope Hall show. BY
the way, Mr.. Wilde's announcement is
separated by 4 few lines only from that
of the Royal Asylum for Imbeciles and
Idiots-which shows most shocking
lack of aesthetic culture in the man
who classified the advertisements.

Where Water is as Precious as Gold.

Flagstaff year ago was an unre-
deemed Inferno; now it is for the most
part quiet and of good repute. 1t owes
its permanency to the timber business.
From Northwestern Arizona down TO
the southeast into Western New Mex
leo stretches vast belt of magnificent
pine forest. Here the belt is cut by
the railroad just under the shadow of
the San Francisco Mountains. The
trees are of extraordinary height, very
straight and huge in their proportions.
Between them there is no underground
all is clear and open. Here and there
the openings widen out into beautiful
natural parks, clothed with rich
growth of grass. No finer cattle coun-
try could be imagined, save for the
lack of water.
Water is almost literally as precious
as gold. Men 90 out prospecting for
springs just as the miner searches for
groupings of ore. He who secures
spring can control thousands of acres
of land. But the springs are few, often
small, and not always trustworthy.
The Little Antelope spring, which sup
plies the cluster of cabins hard by,
sometimes runs dry. Then water is
hauled in barrels for miles and sold
like any other commodity. Tho saw
mill, which runs out a hundred thous-
and feet of lumber q day to supply
contract of 32, 900, 600 feet for the Mexi-
can Central Railway, is run by steam
power. Yet for this it is necessary to
pump the water in pipes from springs
nine miles away. At Winslow the rail-
road company sunk an artesian well
1,700 feet and struck salt water. At
Ash Fork they sunk another well, which
proved q failure.
From the line of New Mexico the
railroad runs for many miles through
the barren valley of tho Rio Puerco.
The riyer-bed is broad, but the stream
itself is only a scanty riyulet. Yet when
there comes one of the sudden, fierce
thunder-storms peculiar to this region
the plains are flooded, and in an hour
the river becomes a raging torrent. l
have seen this happen again and again,
for it is the rainy season now; but in a
few hours the water disappears, the
torrents plunge into underground wa
ter-courses and the sands are parched
rs before. 1t has been suggested that
huge stone tanks be constructed to
hold the water, instead of permitting it
to flow off at once. The suggestion
seems good one. Artesian wells have
never obtained much success in the
western country, and the water prob
lem remains one of vital Importance

Railroad Travelling in EuroDe.

The first thing that is likely to strike
an American travelling for the first time
in Europe, as being specially peculiar,
is the marked difference in the railroads
and their management, as compared
with ours at home. The cars are much
smaller than ours, being but little larc-
er than those used on our narrow-gauoe
roads. Each car is divided into four or
five apartments seating from four to
eight passengers. These compartments
are entered from the sides of the cars.
and are entirely separated from each
other. After one gets used to the change
1t Is quite pleasant way to travel Es-
pecially is this true if four or five
friends are travelling together; they can
usually have Il section TO themselves,
and this is decidedly pleasant as we
have already found. With well filled
lunch basket q days travel in one of
these rooms with a couple of friends, is
very enjoyable indeed. You have the
same privacy and seclusion that you
would en- jOy in your own home.
On the whole, travelling here is
much cheaper than in America First
class tickets are sold at about cents Il
mile; second class, cents; third class,
| cents; fourth class at about three
fourths of a cent. There is but little
difference between the first and second
class compartments, both being very
nicely upholstered, and quite comfort
able. The third class has comfortable
seats, but they are notupholstered; and
the fourth class is without seats. The
second and third class cars are the
more largely patronized, very few 60
ing firSt-clasS. L have noticed many
seemingly well-to-do people 90 into the
fourth class cars. Many who 90 fourth
class carry with them camp stools,
while others stand up the entire Jour
ney. The ears run at about the same
rate of speed that we are used to at
home, perhaps a triile slower, but there
is not noticeable difference in this re-
spect.,
There are also sleeping ears (Schaf-
URgcn, as they are called here) attach
ed to the night trains.
Great care and caution is used to pre-
vent accidents; especially is this the
case in the country where the public
roads cross the railroad track At ev-
cry one of the crossings Il guard is sta
toned, whose duty it is to open the
highway WuCu ftH OHc WISHES 10 rue
or drive across the railroad. AT all
other times it is kept closed, and is
only opened when there is no danger
from an approaching train. People in
Germany are not killed on railroad
crossings.
The same care extends to every de-
partment OF the road At the depots
ropes are stretched along the side of
the platform to prevent anyone from
being thrown under an incoming train
No one is allowed to pass Immediately
in front of an engine when it is stand
ing at the depot. These and many 9th
cr precautions are taken that it might
be well for American railroads to i'm
port and adopt.-Eur0pean Letter Jy
