Terrible work of the French Rife,

According to all accounts the new
"Lebel rife" is a wondrous weapon, andis
destined to do terrible things in the hands
Of French soldiers. The members Of the
Academy of Medicine, wishing to dag
nose the physical consequences of wounds
inflicted by the bullet Of the gun, recen.
thy had experiments made of twenty
corpses, probably those of Inflated waits
picked up at the Morgue. The bodies
were placed at the ordinary firingdistance
from 200 yards up to a mile or so. The
bullet whizzed through the bones and
pierced them without iracturing them,
as is done by the bullets Of the "Gras
rifle" The wounds, if they may be
called so, which were inflicted were
small in their punctures, and consequent
ly very dangerous and difficult to heal.
Injuries inflicted at short distances were
so considerable that. in the opinion Of
the surgeons. they would be almost in
durable. At the longest range, 1000
meters. a poplar tree was hit, but the bullet
did not 90 through the tree. At 1000
meters the tree was pierced through and
through. The discharges Of the rifle are
unaccompanied by smoke, and the re.
ports are comparatively feeble. London

The Two Lives - Man May Lea"
n aad sIeepfsg.

The fact of sleep may of itself have
already suggested the idea OF two dis
tinct persons for We certainly are not
the same sleeping and waking. YET
in sleep, we have r~ecollections from
the waking state, and we a remem-
Der from sleep when awake. There
is. therefore, an essential connection
between the two states. There are in
natural somnambulism at the same
time more and less Of analogy with
the wakeful condition. In one respect
IL more resembles wakefulness; Tor
while, in natural sleep, the dream is
absolutely incoherent, the somnambu-
list plays out his dreams; that is, he
executes a system OF co-ordinated
movements having q beginning, a
middle and an end, or a certain CO.
herence. On the other hand, SOM
nambulism is further separated from
wakefulness in the fact that the man
awake wholly loses the recollection OF
what the sleeping man has DONE
while the s~omnambulist can remem-
Der what he has done in a previous
sleep. There are, then, in some
fashion, two lives, and the hypothesis
| dreamed of by Pascal is very near to
| being realized "If we dreamed
every night the same things it would
affect us as much as objects that we
see every day; and if an artisan were
sure to dream during the twelve hours
of the night that he was a king l be-
lieve that he would be almost as happy
as a king who should dream for twelve
hours that he was an artisan" Pas
cal speaks here only Of dreaming, but
it must not be forgotten that somnam-
bulism is composed both OF dream
and reality. The somnambulist per
forms actions that take place in the
real world; he walks, he writes, he
does nearly everything that he does
while awake, and is ever able to
speak and reply. Hence, we have
only to represent to ourselves SOM
nambulism gaining more upon. the
waking condition, e~ncroaching upon
it, and at last becoming a second wax
ing alternating with the other, and re-
tanning only one feature OF somnam'
b~ulism-the loss of recollection or
waking.-Popular Science Monthly.

THE q CALL.

Shrill, crisp and clear It's echoes fell
Across the path Of dawn;
Above the hiss Of passing shell,
In sharp staccatO, on and on
Along the line Of polished steel,
And soldiers crouching knee by knee,
Where doomed the lannon's deeptoned
peal
Like thunder, far at sea.
And answering echoes leaping came
From out a frowning hill.
Pierced through the tumult like a flame
Ta-rant-ra-ra-then all was still
A moment, as the war-clouds broke
And joined the bugle's martial glee,
While roll on roll the cannon spoke
Like thunder, far at sea.

Jay GOuid's Clothes.

Mr.. Gould considers his time more val.
liable than money, and it is his habit &c
visit his tailor and tell him to make sc
many suits of clothes. 81 guess you'd
better make me about four suits Of
clothes this time," Mr.. Gould would say,
Then he will stroke his whiskers, look
thoughtful and: Possibly you'd bet.
ter make me half o dozen suits this time.

if they don't prove what / like / viii
give them to my brother" Mr.. Gould
leaves everything to his tailor's judge
ment; that person also selects Mr..
Gould's neckties and underwear. The
millionaire says himself that he hasn't
time to bother with such small details.
his tailor explained to me that Mr..
Gould's brother, whom he had referred
to. is rather an cratic individual. He
is the opposite to his brother Jay, fol
he cares nothing for money, neither
does he know how to make it. The
millionaire seldom trusts him with very
much money, but he has carte blanche
to go to any Of his brothers tr~adespeoplt
and get what ever he may need. He's
exactly the same size as his brother. and
a suit Of clothes that fits one is equally
suitable for the other. Sometimes when
Mr. Gould orders a half a dozen suits o.
clothes, and they are sent home to him,
there may not be one suit that he likes,
and he Immediately gives an order fol
another half dozen suits. He does moi
even think to ask the price. and finds nj
fault with his tailor. His tailor say

Minds his steps.

Every one has noticed, while driv-
ing, how rarely a horse steps on a
stone, even when going very rapidly.
A writer in Golden Days quotes an
old cavalryran as saying that q
horse never steps on q man inten-
tionally. 1t is a standing order with
cavalry that should a man become
dismounted he must lie down and be
perfectly still. If be does so the
entire company will pass over him
and he will not be injured. A horse
notices where he is going and is on
the lookout for a firm foundation to
put his foot on. 1t is an instinct
with him. therefore, to step over a
PROSTATE man. The injuries caused
by a runaway horse are nearly al
ways inflicted by the animal knock
ing down and stepping on them.
