A Man as Strong as an OK.

Louisville comes to the front again
with the strongest man In the country.
His name is John Bernhardt, but he re-
sembles the divine Sarah i'm name only,
though he is native of Alsace, in the
south OF France. Bernhardt is new
conner to Louisville and is employed in
the foundry department OF "a down town
factory, where his feats of strength are
daily exhibited to tho astonlshment OF
his -laborers. He is twenty sew
en- years old, six feet four inches high
and weighs 256 pounds. and with no
surplus flesh. He is not fat, but is the
finest specimen of muscular manhood
seen here for long time. A Post"
reporter called in TO see him and had
short interview with the hrawny
Frenchman. He is Of magnificent
build straight as an Indian. His chest
is broad and deep and his cheek and
chin bones indicate great strength; but
his arms are wonderful, and around the
biceps they measure seventeen inches.
His hands look like bacon hams. His
skin is smooth and red, though he new
er drinks drop of intoxicating liquor
of any kind whatever and was never
drunk in his life.
He gave .the reporter few exhibit
tions of his strength. Taking piece
of iron, which was afterward found to
weigh forty-three pounds, Bernhardt
held it horizontally at arms length for
several minutes. He then raised huge
piece of block iron from the ground and
placed it upon the scales. 1t pulled
eight hundred and sixty.four pounds
Taking a piece of bar iron two inches
wide and one inch thick, ani placing it
against his knees, he bent il double cas-
ily. He took hold of a forty-two-gallon
barrel of water, and balancing himself
against a post, he went through the
motion of drinking out of the bung-
hole. He took a piece of seasoned oak,
about the size of wagon spoke, and
broke it with his hands. ne did vari-
GUS other wonderful things which DEM
onstrated the possession of most extra
ordinary strength.
Bernhardt says he was never in the
pri2e-ring, but says he is not afraid to
meet John l.. Snlliyan or any other
man. He processes to be able to fell an
OK with his bare fist and often killed
hogs in that manner while employed in
Chicago pork-packing establishment.
His hands are as hard rs wood, and q
stroke from one of them would not diff
fer from stroke Of ma'let.-Louss-

a Curious Petition.

A petition has just been presented to
the French chamber Of deputies to
which, it is safe to say, no parallel is to
be found in the parliamentary records
oe any country. The petition asks the
chamber to provide him with a new
face to replace the one he has lost. The
request is odd enough as it stands but
its oddity is, If possible, still further
enchanced by the fact that the face
which he has lost was not his own. Ex-
artilleryman Moreau, the petitioner in
question is undoubtedly one of the
most severely afflicted of the many vic
Tins Of the Franco Prussian war. A.
shell burst Immediately in front of him
at the battle of Bapaume carrying a.
way the entire surface of his face. Cas-
ualities of the sort are doubtless COM
mon in war; the popularity In Moreau's
case IS that he survived the terrible mu-
tilation. A grateful country provided
him with an artificial face or mask
which partly hid the deformity. But
his troubles were not over. He was at
tackled with brain fever the other day
sent to military hospital. In one of
his struggles with the attendants his
artificial face and teeth got so badly
damaged that they have been almost
useless to him ever since. The cham
ber certainly owes the best face that is
to be had for money to this gallant de-
ender of his country st. james Gazette.

A few days ago there was something
of mad dog excitement In the lower
end of Illinois. Some one had seen a
mad dog, or heard that one was loose,
and farmers loaded their guns and kept
an eve peeled to windwaId. One of
this class bad just given employment
to young man from Detroit-a young
man who was supposed to be running
into consumption. This young man
took deep interest in the mad dog
business, and didn't need to be warned
that lie was expected to make hero or
himself if opportunity offered.
One day, when the excitement was
pitched at the highest peg. the farmer
above referred to started forDetroit with
his team, taking ! is family of five, and
leaving the consumptive young man to
run the farm and kin the mad dogs.
The farmer, however, insisted upon
taking the gun along for his own pro-
lection, and this turned out to be bad
move. There were two old bear-traps
hanging up in the barn, and the con-
sumptive young man got them down,
cleaned up the springs, and set them
Just outside the gate. remarking to
himself that he didn't propose to die of
hydrophobia without making fight
for it.
The traps remained there all day.
yawning and hungering and aching for
mad dogs, and soon after dusk the
farmer returned. AS he drove up to
unload the family one of the horses put
foot into one of the traps. and business
began to pick right up from that very
second. The team reared and plunged
and kicked about, and finally started
off on a run which didn't end until a
toll-gate brought 'em up with a crash.
The wagon was demolished, one horse
hurt. and some of the children badly
bobbed about, while it took two men
half an hour to get that trap off the
horses leg.
When the farmer finally reached
home it was night. The wind was
wailing mournfully. Dark clouds scud.
ded across the sky. 1t was just the
night farmer would select Of all 9TH
ers for taking an idiot by the ear, lead
| ing him out behind the hog-pen, and
then and there stab him repeatedly and
fatally with plow-point.

Have o. Purpose.

Young man have purpose I'm your
heart. Now. what 10 your purpose in
life Is 1t that, under all circumstan-
ces, you will do what you think I'm
right ? Or is it to become rich at the
expense of principle and right 7 The
first purpose you should have il Co care
for yourself. Young men nowadays
don't and when the body is wrecked,
they hobble through life, making every
body about them miserable. Find out
what diet best agrees with you, and ad-
here to it. Daniel began by abstaining
from wine. This would be good start
for you. young man.
Next, take care OF your intellect.
Study, il you have intellect--there are
some young men who don't know
whether or not they haye any intellect
improve it. Many hard-working men
have acquired profound edncations by
being studious during small intervals
of leisure. Get an hour day liz you
can get no more. Devote half OF it TO
study of the Bible, and deyide the re-
manning thirty minutes, say between
astronomy, botany and geology. Do
this one year, and you win be surprised
at what you haye accomplished.
Then take care OF your manners. The
manners of Americans are degenerat-
ing. There was time when young
man would not offend lady by putting
cigar smoke into her face. Now 4 see
it done on the street-cars every day.

and kind. Meyer utter q thoughtless

the principle: "I'll be q gentleman,

"That's Sarah Every Time"

An old man would not believe that
he could hear his wife talk distance
of five miles by telephone. His better
half was in a country store several
miles away, where there was a tele-
phone, and the skeptic was also in a
place where there was a similar instru-
ment, and on being told how to operate
it, he walked up and shouted
"Hello, Sarah ~
At that instant lightning struck the
telephone wire and knocked the man
down, and as he scrambled to his feet
he excitedly cried
s'That's Sarah, every time 10
