that point Instead of stepping on to the
car the man fell headlong TO the track

mediately ran over him mangling his body
in frightful manner.
The engineer of the train discovered
that it had parted and promptly stopped

running, crashed up against the cars in

badly torn up, Spencer's body was
found where the accident occurred. One
arm was crushed off at the elbow he was

A Dickinson College student the other
day, in spirit OF braggadocio, made
bet Of 50 with another young man that
he could put two regulation billiard balls
in his mouth at one time. He accom-
plished the feat, and is now a sadder but
wiser person. The balls stuck 60 his
mouth, and all efforts to dislodge the
same proved futile, until finally an M.
ID. was called in, who, in order to get
them out was compelled to cut a slit in
his mouth on each side. The other fell

Curious Photographic Phenomenon.

In the "Autocrat of the Breakfast
Table," o. w. Holmes shows that in ''the
person named J<ln," there were, for all
practical purposes, two distinct entities,
John as he thinks himself" and John
as we regard him." outside of the third
problematic individual, John as he
actually is" A singular counterpart to
this idea occurs in the use of the phono-
graph. 1t is found that few persons, if
any, know the sound of their own voice
When several persons in succession have
spoken in the machine, each may recog-
nize in reproduction the voice of a friend
or acquaintance, but does not identify
his own, which often sounds to him
harsh, unnatural and "uncanny."-New

WOMEN AND MICE.

The reason why a woman is afraid of a
mouse is profound mystery-indeed it has
never been very clearly proven that she is.
But some women are constantly in such a
nervous, irritable condition that the slightest
thing annoys and startles them. The cause of
this unfortunate state of affairs is usually
some functional arrangement; some Distress
ing or painful irregularity, some derange-
ment or peculiar weakness incident to her
sex; or, it may be due to Inflammation, Ill
ceration or displacement, of some of the
pelvic viscera, or to other organic LESSONS
peculiar to her sex. From whichever cause
it may arise, DIR. Pierces Favorite Presor;p-

A Suggested New Use of Photography

Professor John Trowbridge, in ScribL
ner's, calls attention to the importance,
from an engineering point of view, of
making careful photographs of steel and
timber at the point of rupture under a
breaking load, suggesting that in this
way we may learn something important
on the much vexed question of elasticity
This is suggestion worthy the atten-
ton of our metallurgists, some of whom
have made a critical study of the be-
havior of iron and steel under strains
A Horned Woman.
According to the history of the Royal
Society of Medicine, there was Cornish
woman who lived in the first decade Of
the Eighteenth century who had horn
producing propensities rivaling those Of
the four horned goat. She was known
as Mother Tynslyn and was 81 years old
when the first horn appeared. Within
four years this horn was removed with
saw and knife not less than seven times,
each time reappearing within a few
weeks. When the old lady died at the
age of 104 the horn was nearly FIVE inches
in length and as hard as ivory, although
not attached to the skull.-John w
Wright in ST. Louis Republic.

consented.
Julie came out of the chapel the wife
of Harry B., who went with her to the
Hotel du Louvre. From here he sent a
pressing note TO the American consul,
who came to him early the Dext morn

Harry the consul agreed to take the
Young wife to his own house until mat

future course. In consurs house Julie
found pleasant and safe retreat for the
time being.
Whatever might be said with regard 10
the propriety of the young folks con-
duct, it could not be undone. They were
irrevocably united as husband and wife.
Harry was forced, however, to resign his
commission. By the aid Of the consul
jules rights in relation to her fortune
under her fathers will were fully re-
allied, and she came almost immediately
with her young husband to America.

Double Locomotives.

The Railroad Gazette calls attention te
o double locomotive for the Indian state
railways which is a novel departure from
the common practice. The design is really
a permanent double header; that is, it h.
intended for use when the conditions are
such as to require the use of two lOcOmO-
tives of the ordinary type, continually in
tandem. This arrangement removes the
necessity for two tenders, and renders
easier the transmission of signals from
one cab to another. There is nothing in
this arrangement to criticise; it is really
almost the only plan upon which loco.
