SHOT GOWN BY A CANNON BALL
The Sensation Produced by Big Cannon
Shot.


Shot.
From the London Family Herald
NJ. Courthouse, the French savant,
served in Napoleon's army and was pres
ent 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 was nearly isolated. While
reloading his musket he was shot down
by cannon ball. His impression was
that the ball had passed through his legs
below his knees, completely severing
them, for he suddenly sank down, short
ened, as he beliexed, to the extent of
about a foot in measurement. The trunk
of the body fell backward on the ground
and the mans senses were paralyzed by
tbs shock. Thus he lay, motionless,
among the wounded and dead all night,
not daring to move, when consciousness
partially returned less the loss of blood
should be fatally increased.
That he felt no pain he attributed to
the stunning effect of the shock Oh his
nervous system, and he was still mental
ly too numbsd to be able to reason as to
why he had not bled to death. At early
dawn he was aroused by one of the med
icai staff; who came round to help the
wounded "What's the matter with you,
my good fellow 90 said the surgeon.
"Ah, touch me tenderly, doctor, "replied
NJ. Courthouse; "a common ball has car
ried off my legs!' The surgeon exam
med the limbs referred to, and then Civ.
ing him good shake, said, with laugh:
"Get up with you; there's nothing the
matter with your legs! p M. Courthouse
sprang up in utter establishment, and
stood firmly on the legs which he had
thought lost forever. 81 felt more thank
ful," said he, ethan had ever felt in the
whole course of my life before. had
not wound about me. had, indeed,
been shot down by an immense cannon
ball, but instead of passing through my
legs, as l firmly believed it had, the ball
had passed under my feet and had plowed
a hole in the earth beneath at least foot
in depth, into which my feet suddenly
sank, giving me the idea that had been
thus shortened by the loss of my legs"

THE NOVEMBER METEORS.
The Annual Visitation of Some of Our
Heavenly Visitors.

The Annual Visitation of Some of Our
Heavenly Visitors.
From the Home Journal.
Amateur astronomers and star-gazers
will not forget the annual visitation of
meteors in November. This is due, ac-
cording to the computations, the 18th of
the month, with possible extention of
the spectacle day or two before and
after. That is the the time when the
earth, moving in it's circuit, is to cross
the pathway of an immense concourse Of
little bodies, mimic worlds as it were,
which revolve around the sun like the
planets, only in much more elliptical
orbit. Moving with lightning speed they
dash into the earths atmosphere, where
the intense friction of their passage
quickly raises them to consuming heat.
They blaze an instant and go out in dark
ness, being reduced to their original con-
stituents of dust, vapor and gases. Some.
times they appear to explode, and, on
rare occasions, have been known to fall
entire to the earth.
Specimens of these fallen "Lucifers"
are kept in all well-appointed museums.
Every part of the globe has received u
share of this dover of the skies, but
Northern Mexico, it is said, can show
hundred-fold portion. An accumulation
is there to be seen which indicates clear
ly that at some remote epoch an immense
| constellation was dumped suddenly upon
the ground. The author of "Ragnarok"
| thinks he finds in the ancient Aztec
| legends and traditions distinct com
memoration of this descent of burning
stars. 1t is not necessary to assure our
star-watchers that the approaching an.
niversary will be attended with no dan
gers of that kind. They will need no
extra protection from the star-shower-
| not even an umbrella. Isolated cases are
on record where these descents have been
witnessed by human spectators and aft
erwards verified by exhuming the buried
worldlet, still hot and palpitating from
us HlSut; ouC Ine examples are altogether
too infrequent and remote to satisfy
scientists Of the present day, and if any
of our amateurs in the coming transit
should chance upon such phenomenon
and be able to preserve full data of
it, they may thereby add contribution
to science that will be widely recognized.
They may win for themselves at the
same time some fame, as much, perhaps,
as they could get by discovering new
asteroid to be added to the alreadey
| crowded list

Charged With Electricity.

From tie Louisville Journal.
There is young man in Kentucky af-
flicted with electricity. When he shakes
hands with anyone he gives the person a
slight shock. He is sensible of the ap-
proach of thunder storm twenty -four
hours before its occurrence, and then
suffers unutterable misery--a numbness,
particularly in the left side. These feel
ings increase with the approach of the
storm. He then discharges the electri-
city that is in him by conductor every

Washed-Out Hair,

There is sort of pallid, chalky complex
ion which the novelists call washed our
complexion" 1t is CHASTITY enough, and no
mistake. Washed-out, faded, discolored,
or parti- colored hair is almost as repulsivs
and melancholy. Parker's Hair Balsam
will restore your hair to its original color,
whatever it was brown, auburn or black.
Why wear moss on your head, when you
may easily have lively, shining hair.

If people troubled with colds, would
take Aver Cherry Pectoral before going

would avoid coughing, greatly to the
comfort of both speakers and hearers.
Public speakers and singers find that the
Pectoral wonderfully increases the power
and tlcxibility of the voice.

TEE CAMPAIGN LIE.

Ruff. Shoemaker Of the Foot Hill
Tidings thus moralizes on the cam
paign lie
The campaign lie will now and
FOR two years become houseless
and homeless thing It will no
longer be'received and sheltered in
newspaper Offices, and will no
longer be fed and nourished by
newspaper editors so that the lie
will grow strong and swift.
The campaign lie being turned
out doors for two long years, one
would think it would starve to
death; but it will not. Two years
from now the campaign lie will
come around again fresh and smil-
ing and will be welcomed to the
Offices Of the partisan newspapers.
The codling moth returns when
there is an apple crop. and the cam
paign lie is on hand when politics
furnish food.

WHY THEY ARE SLOW.

The reason why the election re
turns are so slow from New York
shows that the New York Republi-
can Central Committee are keeping
back the Republican precincts in
the country until the New York
and Brooklyn count is official.
Otherwise if the Republicans over
come the city majority for Cleve-
land, the managers of the Demo
cratic fight would begin to grind
out corrected returns from the
wards in New York and overcome
what ever honest majority the Re
publicans brought in. After the
New York city count is officially set
tied it will be time enough to hear
from the interior.

The Democratic papers in New
York reported with great glee that
Roscoe Conkling stood with un.
covered head for four hours as the
Democratic procession passed his
house.
The removal of his hat appears to
have been simply a well-bred gen
tleman's respect for the passing
corpse.

A DIRE POSSIBILITY.

It just occurs to us, and doubt
less to a good many other people,
that IN the event of the election of
Cle1e Gland, the Democrats of this
country would launch out on spree
the prolongation of which would
extend beyond the Christmas Holt
days. Thousands of Bourbons
have sworn a solemn oath not to
touch drop of spurious liquor
until a Democratic President was
installed in the White House. I'm
agine a Democrat who has been
temperate for, say, quarter Of a
century, receiving permission from
his conscience to let go all holds
and begin the red mural decora-
tons Of the town. In an event of
this kind there would scarcely be
enough whisky in the country to
supply the sudden demand.
These vows Of temperance on
the part Of the Bourbons have in
our humble belief. drawn to the Re
publican party all the Prohibition
support it has needed to win dur
ing the last half dozen elections.
OF course the temperance vote
against the party has been here
neutralized by the appearance Of
these eccentric individuals who
wear long hair and swear they will
not wash their faces until the Ad-
ministration changes. Numbers Of
non-partisan Republicans have no
doubt frequently voted the Demo
c ratio ticket in the hope of having
these people cleaned up.
