THE DAUNTLESS

We are sure that none of our readers
have forgotten the ocean yacht race
which took place in March, 1887. be-
tween the two crack American yachts,
the Coronet and Dauntless. After two
weeks of the most tempestuous weather
ever recorded, during which both ves-
sells were severely tested, the CorOnet
won the race, having covered a distance
2.249 miles in fourteen days, twenty
three hours, thirty minutes and forty.

of her stem had been the cause, it was
thoroughly repaired and nothing more

OPTICAL ILLUSIONS.
Strange Phenomena of the Be

Strange Phenomena of the Death-Bed.
From the Philadelphia North American.
MANY people, writes a lady CORE
spondent from Newark, ARE deceived
by optical illusions. On recent morn
ing | looked into my brothers room,
and saw him standing at his dressing
case. Then [ remembered that | heard
him go down stairs, and l said to my
self, this is an optical Illusion Know
ing that it was such, I looked at the fig
ure until it slowly faded away. Let
me add that l am in good bodily health,
cheerful and, l believe, sound in mind.
A friend who died lately said in her last
hours, when apparently she was ration
al, that she saw her dead parents and
brother in her room. She exclaimed,
addressing the friends who stood at her
bedside, There they are, right there.
Can't you see themY l repeat that, as
far as any one can Judge, she was
thoroughly conscious. But we will pass
over her case, for it is not exceptional,
neither can we affirm positively that she
had her senses.
But here, I think, is an unusual
form of optical illusion. if it was an il
fusion at oil. A few days ago a we'll
known business man of New York pass
ed away. His widow is a clear-mind-
ed and educated lady witho out any NOR.
bid or superstitious faint in her ma
ture, or any belief in spiritualism.
While bending over her husband, short
" before his death she observed that
the expire ssion of his face was changing,
and the next moment saw there, in
stead, the face of her brother. The
two men entirely unlike in appearance,
n being light and having a blonde
beard, and the other very dark. Short
ly afterward the lady saw on aer hus-
bands face the expression of another
deceased friend, and little later that
of a third. Her ms3bid and over
wrought fancy deceived her, some one
says. Gould two persons be deceived at
the same time and in the same way? /
asked this because three years ago this
lady and her sister watched beside the
dying child Of the latter. The little
girls face suddenly changed. One Of
the ladies saw that the other observed
this, and said:
Emily, who was it?n
adelaide, was the answer.
"Yes, Adelaide"
"The two ladies have told me that
they saw Enthusiastically the face OF their
dead cousin, a woman, shining out
through the face of the dying child. /
offer no explanation of these phenome-
ma, and present them only because to.
ME they seem very interesting.

Iess1y to his: II feel as if I
was looking into the eyes OF my
wife. Am I mistaken" The last
words were breathed rather than ut
tered, and then she understood, and
the flame color mounted over the deli
cate features once more, and she said
quietly: do 1 look SO much like your
wife ?"
He w&s baf1ed, and for a moment
knew not what to say, then rallied AMI
said
"She has gone into the future. I
don't know what or where that life may
be, and | am lost AID lonely without
her. l want that which has gone ont

that want. You are alone in the world,
aud l can make your life pleasanter, l

1t was a temptation, such as only
homeless ones can understand; but,
after a moment, she shook her head,
and then, reading the questioning look
in those keen gray eyes, she said, while
the color deepened in her face:
Il loved once, and have loved ever
since, and it would not be right for me
to marry any one, feeling as I do"
The door opened, and the brakeman
called out the name Of the place where
she was to stop, and the next moments
were spent in gathering her belongings.
He helped her off the train, and grasped
her hand heartily as she stood n ju-
slant there:
Il shall always remember you and
your happy ways of looking at life, and
your faith will help me-" and then he
swung on to the slowly moving train,
and she walked away in the cleaning,
a tear or two falling as she thought of
the lonely days to come.-The Current.

He Shot With the Indians.

Capt. Boggs, a Virginian, who held
a captains license OF the Mississippi
river before he was OF age, and who
for fourteen years had the contract to
supply the military posts in Utah
Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona
with fuel, tells the following story:
al was down in the Ute reservation
in Colorado and had strolled down
the shores of a small lake while my
mules and teamsters were eating din:
ner, when / came across q party
of about a dozen Indians. They
were armed with rifles and were
shooting at a snag which stuck
out of the water about two
hundred yards distant. The stakes
for which they were shooting were
composed Of q quarter from
each man. Istood watching them for.
some time and then decided to enter
the competition. Each man had three
shots and the man who hit the snag
the most times won the pot. The
misses were told by the splash in the
water; the hits by the absence OF the
splash.
After some parley with the redskins

match, though they compelled me to-
deposit bali a dollar while they put inl
a quarter. / had a Henry repeater

purpose was then unloaded. was

shots and the Indians thought 1

tionally lost by not taking the balls
of and by taking Indifferent aim.
II then broke all the balls of until

began to look at me with suspicion or
awe, refused to shoot any more. in

the money on knick-knacks, which 4
divided among them. / then took
them back to the lake and showed
them the trick. They were very much

'FRONT.' Pittsburg Chronicle,
The remarkable workmanship OF the
Tartars is proverbial. Their faYorite
weapon is long, curved cimetar, quite
different from that Of the Turks. 1t is
made Of the finest steel, richly alleged
with silver, and a sword becomes an
heirloom in family and decends TO the
first born 70 long as the family exists.
When the last representative Of a race
dies his sword, which may have come
down to him from q hundred genera
tons, is broken and buried with him.
The blades of the weapon, which are
beaten out on an onyx stone anvil in the
ancient Mogul city Of Taztchintzy fthe
Holy place., are very thin, and the won
derfui feats performed with them ire
astonishing. Once when Robo, the
cousin Of the Great Mogul, was caught
IN q rebellion, his execution was order
ed. The most skiIlful workmanship Of
the empire was provided for the behead-
ing, and the Great Mogul and his court
assembled to see 1T. For a SECOND the
keen Tartar blade flashed IN the sun
light and then descended upon the
bare neck Of Robo, who stood upright
TO receive the stroke. The sharp steel
passed through the vertebfse. muscles
and organs Of the neck, buf so swift was
the blow and SO keen the blade that the
