Mr.. Castor McCarter, of Green
vile, GA, has been greatly troubled
of late with his neighbors' cattle.
Sunday night last, hearing the cattle
in his front yard, he seized his gun
and fired upon them. Immediately
after the shot, he heard a child's
scream and discovered that he had
discharged the whole load into the
body of his little boy. The child had
gone into the yard to drive out the
cows, unknown to his father, who
thus accidentally killed the child. Mr..
McCarter is frantic with grief, and it
is feared by his neighbors that he
will lose his mind.

1t is thought that a dozen shots
from the new German bomb, charg-
ed with dynamite shells, would de-
stroy the strongest Notifications in
the world-Sacaandh Ne,cs.
If the above statement is true, Mr..
Tilden's idea, of spending the sur
plus in the United States Treasury,
in Strengthening the Notifications OF
our harbors, would be waste of mon
ey. The invention of dynamite after
all may prove a curse to the country.

The Monkey and the boa.

An officer stationed at Kalladgee, in
India, was once climbing rocky hill
when he and native who accompanied
him Witnessed the following episode:
A poor monkey was being slowly en-
wrapped, in the voluminous folds OF an
enormous boa, its bones breaking like
pipe stems by the pressure. Gradually
the reptile unwound itself, leaving q
crushed, unrecognizable mass. The
numerous monkeys on the rock were in
the greatest state of excitement, running
wildly about, gesticulating. chatting,
and moaning, though, OF course, pow
erless TO help their comrade. While the
snake was commencing its gorge, and
before its body began TO fill and swell,
the officer and native went in quest OF
stout cudgel aud sharp knife, ex-
pecting to make it an easy prey as soon
as it should be filed TO repletion.
When they. returned TO the scene OF
strife the boa lay thoroughly gorged,
beneath projecting mass of cliff, look
ing more like a log than anything more
lively. On the summit above troop
of monkeys were assembled, and three
or four Of the largest and strongest
were occupied in displacing massive
fragment of rock, already loosened BY
the rains from the main ledge. BY
enormous exertion, made, too, with a
silence quite unusual to monkeys-they
at length succeeded in pushing the rock
until It trembled just over the boa's
head; then, uttering a yell OF triumph,
they dropped 1t over the miniature
precipice. 1t struck the boa on the
head, MASKING it to jelly. As it's great
tail lashed about Intellectually in its last
struggle, there was a general chorus OF
exultation-a man joining his near rel
alive, If we believe some ofour instruct
ors-over this well accomplished act OF
vengeance.

shor.ne-- .. of lime Ia Dreams.

One OF the most remarkable phcnome-
ma connected with dreams is the short
ness of time needed for their consum-
nation. Lord Broughan Gays that In
debating a man may frequently fall
asleep after uiteraing a few words, and
be awakened by the amanuensis repeat
ing the last word TO show that he has
written the whole; but though five or
six seconds only have elapsed between
the delivery OF the sentence and its
transfer to paper, the sleeper may have
passed through a dream extending
through half lifetime. Lord Holland
and Mr.. Bsbbage both coUfrrn this the
ory. The one was listening TO friend
reading aloud, and slept from the be-
ginning ofthe sentence to the latter
par. Of the sentence Immediately sue
ceedirg; yet, during this time he had q
dream, the particulars Of which would
have taken more than quarter Of an
hour TO write. Mr.. Babbsge dreamed
a succession Of events, and woke in time
TO hear the concluding words Of
friends ans ser TO question he had
just put to him. One mall was liable TO
feelings Of suf1ocation, accompanied by
a dream Of skeleton grasping his
throat whenever be sieptin lying pos
ture, and tad an attendant to wake him
the moment he sank down. But though
awakened the moment be began 10

gle with the skeleton. Another mar

"Quiet Observer writes on the sub

"Quiet Observer" writes on the sub
iect of baldheadedness as follows:
1t is undenisble that the lower down
the more hairy mankind gets, as shown
by the Terra Del Fnegans, New Zeal
landers and others who are covered al.
most as thickly us dogs Darwin rea-
sons from this that the time was when
the whole race was hairy. lie accounts
for the final disappearance ofthis primal
coverings by patural selection; that Is.
by the. least hairy going together. lie
also suggests that rendering these hir-
suites unnecessary. by tho adoption Of
coverings for the body may have had
marked influence on it.
These same causes are al work even
now, aud who knows but they may
lead To the development cf hairless
race. Those with a tendency Ia thin
ness Of hair integ marry. aud their chill
dren wear close bats and wigs.
Hot-heajed people are often bald, or
at least thin of hair. They attribute it
to the heat caused by the blood crow'l-
ing into the brain. Tbiscan hardly be.
rs the blood in the brain Is of no higher
temperature than ia other parts of tie
body, unless there be fever Ina the brain.

cumstances IL Is almost sure, 10 grow In
again. IL is not impossible, however,
that the roots should be so thoroughly
cooked that they would never sprout
again; but so great would DO the heat
necessary 10 do this that IL Is scarcely
possible that the sufferer could live.
This may be- the reason that there II SO
little positive evidence on this particu-
lar phase of the case. 400. l
One of the. most prolific causes Of
badness, not excepting the law Of ne
cessity, is hair starvation. There isvery
little flesh, or soft tissue, between the
skull and scalp from which TO draw
nourlshment. The blood vessels sup
plying the hair are necessarily small,
aud are not able ut best to more than

that will reduce the blood supply TO
