A Torpedo Shooters Story.

Not every day does one meet with
man who has been blown seventy five
feet through the air and lived 10 tell of
it, but such a man is John McCreary,
who lives in comfortable home in Green
point with his wife and two children and
drives a Custom House truck down town
for living. He was at lunch near by
when one of the steam heating e1plo-
sions at the corner Of Broadway and Full
ton street, and so was Times reporter.
The atmosphere was conducive to explo-
sive story telling, and McCleary told Of
his experience to an interested group and
produced number of newspaper clip
pings to verify the extraordinary occur
renee. One of them was from the Ell
dred Penn.) Eagle, and it called Nc
Cleary the hero of the nitro glyceriue ex-
plosion at Hsymaker, Penn, in 1880,
and said that every stitch of clothes had
been stripped from his body during his
fight of seventy-fve feet through tho
air.
McCleary explained that he was what
is known as torpedo shooter. In de-
scribing his sensations he said: "When
the explosion took place / was probably
twenty feet from the stuff. | saw a

The English, or rather the cockncy
superstition about the "Household
Troops" is, thinks the New York Times,
one Of the queerest superStitions in the
British army. When the Guards arc or
dered abroad to take part in actual war;
fare, it is the general London belief that
the war is thereby settled. No evidence
to the contrary has any effect upon this
simple faith or upon the popular enthu-
siasm in which it is manifested. One
battalion OF the Grenadier Guards has
Just been ordered to Bermuda, where
there is no war raging, not for the sake
Of going where glory waits them, but
simply as punishment for insubordina.
ton. 1t seems as if this should break
the spell in the case of these particular
troops, but the enthusiasm was unabated.
Tha dispatches set forth that they were
accompanied to the station by 10000
cheering civilians. Such an ''ovatiou"
to body of troops in disgrace is prob.
ably unprecedented in the stories Of pa.
triotic zeal.

Panic and Bicycles.

Sir Evelyn Wood, of the British army,
has expressed himself in favor of the for
nation of q corps of 20, 900 volunteers
mounted on bicycles. Sir Evelyn is an
undoubted authority on military affairs,
but has he ever studied the influence of
panic on the bicyclel The ability of the
rider to keep his machine on its legs, so
to speak, depends wholly upon his cool
aess. The moment he becomes nervous
his knees, as well as his resolution,
weaken, and his bicycle "wabbles" and
comes to grief. Imagine the effect of
round shot crushing through corps of
fresh bicyclists, Ond scattering broken
wheels and splintered backbones in its
path. Unquestionably the more excitable
members of the corps would be given to
"wabble," collisions would ensue, and in
the course of the next five minutes the
twenty thousand bicycles would be mex
tricable entangled one with another, and
the enemy would make prisoners of the
entire corps-that is, If the enemy could
spare the time necessary for disentangling
its prisoners from their bicycles, a task
which would probably require from six to
ten days.--Ne'o York Herald.

The French newspapers Of late contain

The French newspapers Of late contain
interesting descriptions Of recent sur
gical operation performed by DR.. lame
longe at the Child's Hospital in
Paris, which is among the first posi-
tive cures OF hereditary idiooy noted IN
the progress of science. The subject
operated upon was diminutivo child OF
four years of age, whose growth had
been stunted by disease, who was unable
to walk, and showed little or no interest
in any Of her surroundings. Working
on the supposition that the skull was too
narrow, q supposition borne out by
many experiments and studies, the oper.
alton decided upon consisted in a surgi-
cal removal of substance enough from
the left cavity of the skull to give ample
room to the brain. The operation was
made on the 9th Of May last, and q
month later the little girl began to give
every evidence OF an improvement in
health, and now the subject has been
pronounced completely cured of her dis.
case. She walks, talks and plays as do
other children of her age. The opera

It is remarkable, and like SO many of the
most daring feats Of surgical skill of re-

The rapid increase of the wealth, busi-
ness and prosperity of the United States
during the past ten years, says the Boston
Manufacturer Gazette, is simply marvel
Gus. According to the published figures,
tho total wealth OF the country is now
k71 ,459, 900, 900, equal to nearly $1,000
per capita. This is on increase in ten
years of s1s, 900, 900, 900, or 40 per cent.
England's wealth in 1885 is given at
$50, 900, 900, 900. The average Of wealth
per head in England is Sl545, in Scot
land S121b, in Ireland but s565. The
total wealth of France is estimated at
s36, 900, 100000. England exacts in
taxes $40 per head of population, while
each individual in the United States pays
but $3.50. America will produces
1000, 900 tons of iron this year, while
England'a greatest production is $780,
900 tons.

A cahle1ram from China saws Il

A cablegram from China says that
decree from one Of the viceroys imposing
a tax upon opium has been abandoned
because of the protests of Great Britain.
The British Government holds monop-
oily of the opium crop in India. Under
this opium is sold to middlemen at pro-
ft of six hundred per cent. 1t is then
taken to China, but the Chinese are per-
mitted to impose only nominal tax
England holds it as British interest in
India, and insists that it shall be so re-
ceivcd in China. The revenue from this
monopoly varies from iorty-fve to fifty
four millions of dollars year, and with
out it England could not govern India.

The Bashi- i-Baz0uks.

The Bashi- Bazouks are the irregular
troops in the Turkish army. Very few
of them are Europeans; they are mostly
Asiatics from some of the different prov.
inces under the Sultsn's rule in Asia
Minor. They are wild, turbulent men,
ready to fight with great ferocity, but
ever more ready to plunder whenever
they can get the opportunity to do so.
Wherever the Turkish army was sta.
toned during the Turco- Russian war Of
1854, it was said that the adjoining vii.
lagos were in more terror of Bashi-Ba.
zouks than of the enemy. In the war Of
1857 a corps of Bashi- -Bazouks at
tackled over 1000 defenceless Bulgarians
who had taken refuge in church in the
town of Batak and slaughtered them all
in cold blood. Boston Courier.

Some Big Indian Rugs.

The rugs That arc hung over all the
doorways at the art gallery attract al
most as much admiration as Verestcha-
gins paintings themselves. Those that
hang in the middle room, particularly,
excite comments Of wonder and delight.
Both these rugs wero woven in India,
and measure thirty-two by thirty feet,
and each weighs about 1000 pounds.
They would make cunning little bath
towels for such giants as Atlas, who
aourished long ago before India rugs
came into fashion. All Of us that have
gone into carpet stores and priced Turkey
and India rugs know how costly they
are. 1t is easy enough, then, to believe
the story.that $40, 900 has been refused
for these two large rugs, which after all
were made for the door mats simply to
an Indian rajah's summer residence In

The only genuine and reliable canni-
balls in existence now are the natives Of
Solomon Islands, small group in the
South Pacific. To be sure cannibslism
is pursued in desultory way elsewhere,
but its devotecs would prefer kid, kan
garoo, monkey, cockatoo and snakes, ana
eat the human kind only when hungry
from the lack of their usual game. But
the Solomon Islanders will eat tough
sailor, hardened trader, or even one OF
their own tribe in mere spirit Of wan
ton gormandizing when they are far from
starvation and other meat is plenty.
They have just had barbecue consist
ing, with the usual side dishes, of Lars
Nelson, Norwegian trader, and his
three native assistants. They have eaten
six white men within the past few months
and are really transacting about all of
the genuine cannibal business at present
being done.

A Famous Artists Favorite Pastlme.

One of the favorite pastimes of Albert
Bierstadt, the artist, when persons visit
him in his handsome studio, at Thirty
third street and Broadway, is to make
butterflies. 1t iss clever piece of work
as he does it. He will take sheet of
foolscap paper, pick up his paint knife
and begin dropping bits of different col
ors on it. When he has number Of spots
placed to suit him he doubles the paper
through the centre of them, lays 1t
against window pane so that it is trans
parent, and proceeds by gentle pressure
of the knife to distribute the paint evenly
over the inner surface in irregular lines.
When he opens the paper again the sides
match and form beautiful butterfly. 1t
takes him less than five minutas to make
one OF these souvenirs. s.--Ne,o York Prcss.

A surprising result Of the census enume-
ration in Botetourt County, Va, is the
increase in the number of farms. In one
district where there were 150 farms in
1880, the present census shows 225, the
large farms having been divided and sub
divided. The Fincastle Herald regards
this as an indication "that the large farms
that have laid waste SO long have been
cut up into smaller ones, and that waste
places are being cultivated and made to
yield more advantageously to the labor
of the husbandman; that there are more
homes, aud consequently better con,
dition generally OF the farming class. "
The population of Botetourt County in
1880 was 1900, while partial returns
indicate that the present population is
10000.
