He is easily frightened, but realizes

and stupidity, and knows nothing of
his past.
FOUND A BIRDS NEST IN HIS POCKET.
A funny little situation was devel.
oped at the house of Oscar Fowler.
on White Hall farm, the property of
William Ward Henderson, near
this town, lately. Mr.. Fowler lives
upon the river shore, and is fond OF
cunning and fishing. For these pur-
poses he has q suit of India rubber to
protect him from the rain. The sea-
son for both of these diversions being
about over, he a short time ago hung
his rubber coat out where it could get
a good airing. No attention was paid
to 1T until day or two since, when
Mr.. Fowler thought it time to take it
IN and put it away. When he took
hold OF it he observed g. suspicious
swelling about one of the pockets, and
thinking he might have left q hand
kerchlef or some other. piece of prop
erty therein he put his hand into the
pocket. 1t came in contact with
something strange to him, and upon
withdrawing it he found cute little
nest and several tiny eggs snugly fixed in
it. Presently he heard an anxious twit-
ter near by, and looking up there was
pretty little jenny wren begging him
not to destroy her springtime work.
Mr.. Fowler placed the nest and it's
contents in a convenient hole in an
apple tree near by, and now Mistress
Wren has q promising brood of the
funniest little wrens ever seen.-Elkton

BULLET WOUNDS OF THE HEART.
DR.. ii. il. Harrington, of Monmouth,
Ill, writes as follows to the Medical
Record: GIN your issue of April 4, I'M
der the title, rs Death Necessarily In
Simultaneous After Bullet Wounds of
Heart p you relate g, very interesting
case. Let me detail another very re-
markable case which came under my
observation while house physician in
Cook County Hospital, Chicago,
IN the year 1875. One evening
at dusk man aged about 80
years was brought in an express
wagon, rapidly driven over rough
pavements a distance Of over mile,
with bullet wound in the left side;
he was In a condition of profound
shock, and was treated accordingly,
by means of heat externally applied,
stimulants and morphia internally.
Reaction ensued, and progressed SUI
ticiently to admit of his moving about
In bed and talking in loud voice,
when he suddenly died, three hours
after receiving the wound. Autopsy
made by me the text morning revealed
the fact that the bullet had perforated
the apex of the heart, traversed the
entire length Of the left ventricle and
auricle, and, after passing upward
through the right lung, had become
imbedded in the right shoulder. The
case seems to me to be of enough i'm
portance to warrant this intrusion
upon your time and space"
AN OBLIGING PIECE OF FURNITURE.
In a family residing on Woodland
Avenue little girl was playing not
long ago with a playmatefrom neigh
boring family. They were playing at
a small center table, and the little
girls noticed presently that when one
of them put her hand on the table it
would lift up and down, and they f.
nally called others of the family to
witness the strange behavior Of the
table. After experimenting some time
the little girl climbed upon the table,
saying: "Now, let's see if you can
move" To their establishment the
table began to move along the floor
with the little girl on it. She jumped
off, saying, "Now move yourself if
you can" The table started off NOV
ing across the floor, no one touching
it. eff you can move so WE'LL" said
the little girls mother, "move into
the next room and kiss the baby in
the crib there" To their amazement
the table started off, moved across
the floor, through the door into the
room where the babe was sleeping in
the crib, and tipped up with it's edge
as close to the babes face as it could
get. Now, upon what philosophy can
this behavior of the table be explained
Without going any further into the
phenomena of Spiritualism, or dis
cussing what are put forward as high
er manifestations, how are these ele-
mentary raps and movements to be
satisfactorily accounted for? At all
events there is a field for honest in
vestigation.-C Plain Dealer.
