The electric LIrb. in Burmah.

Maj E G. Browne. an Englishman.
writing about the acquisition of Burmah
by the British, describes the effect upon
the natives of the first exhibition of the
electric light. "A great ray of soft
light, he says. shoots across the heavens
from horizon to horizon A food of light
is cast on spot in the village. but it is
Jff with more than lightning rapidity to
illuminate another. 1t leaps and bobs
and bounces about the earth in most un-
canny fashion. The village is illumined.
1t visits every portion of it and seems to
enter at the doors and windows. At first
the people rush away, but finding that in
many cases the light follows they throw
themselves down with their faces to the
earth. In few minutes the village and
river banks are cleared, and the terrified
people take refuge in the bush or at the
backs OF the houses.
But this only lasts a very short
time. Curiosity is stronger than pru-
dence. So far the light has struck no
one dead. Perhaps it may be harmless;
so the children. clinging to each other,
venture into the glare, then run to their
mothers arms screaming half with fear
and half with delight Some Of the big
boys then rush out. have good stare.
and having dared SO much once more dis
appear. The ladies seem to gain conf
dence next to the children. Their curl
osity cannot be restrained any longer. SO
they get together in groups and hide their
faces and scream and giggle. Some Of the
more cheeky ones actually put out their
tongues at US and begin dancing and gy-
rating about The men. last of all.
moodily emerge fromtheir cover, and still
not half liking it walk cautiously about.
and gradually the village is gay."-New
York Sun.

Cattle Returning to sav.eery.

saddle. for ! know what that means.
Some restless ranging steer has found q
trace of blood. Looking out on the
prairie, | see the herd running swiftly
toward the solitary warrior. who, with
nose held to the ground. with open mouth
and curling tongue. is voicing the reused
ssvagery within him.
The whole herd is transformed from a
iazily feeding and sleeping company of
cows to drove of infuriated buffalo,
rushing and crowding, roaring and bawl-
ing. fighting, struggling In thick mass
toward and around a common center.
They paw the dus. or toss fakes of the

feet trample. and throughout all that

Gen. Butler and the Witness.

Ben Butler was retained as counsel for
Boston young man whose wife had sued
him for divorce on grounds Of cruelty.
The wronged wife's sister. q young girl Of
20. was the principal witness for the pros
ecution. and Gen. Butler succeeded In an
gering her by a sharp and irritating cross
examination After many interruptions
the witness said that the defendant had
been seen to shy book at his wife's
head" ''Shyf Shy books What do
you mean by thatY Will you explain to
the court what the word shy meansi
The young girl leaned over the railing and
asked her sisters counsel for copy of
''Cushing's Manual" which lay on the
desk before him. She hurled the volume
at Gen. Buffers head with all the force
she could command It was good shot.
and had not Butler OWNED her purpose in
time it would undoubtedly have hit tho
mark 81 think the court now under
stands the meaning of the word shy. :"
said the Judge. and the girl was allowed
to finish her testimony without further
interruption

soldiers, Bones for Fertiliuing.

A disclosure exceedingly uncomfortable
for the relatives and friends of the En-
glish soldiers killed in Egypt has been
made by the captain Of the Austrian ves-
sci Dub. which arrived at Aberdeen the
other day, loaded with bones for fertiliz-
ing purposes. The captain said be had
got his load from Alexandria, and that
the bones all came from Cairo. He
thought they were the bones of giraffes.
buffaloes. antelopes. etc. but he was
obliged personally to watch the loading
of his ship and reject complete human
skeletons that were brought to him. The
natives were very indignant at his refusal
TO accept the bones of Christians. and
said it was their custom to dig on battle
fields and pull the bodies out of shallow
trenches. 1t has been found that. in
spite of the captains precautions. the
cargo of the Dub contains the bones of
many English soldiers. the natives hav-
ing resorted to the simple method of pull
ing the skeletons to pieces and present
ing them minus heads and hands. when
they found complete frameworks to be
unaccepted. Foreign Letter.
