The Peril OF Frightening DArkies with
Panther Stories
Speaking Of owls, sometimes serious
results arise from being frightened by
owls We were camped, ten of us.
soon after our unpleasantness with the
south, in a weird place In the sunk
lands In the vicinity of New Madrid.
Mo-, then on a hunt for turkey and
deer. The trees about our camp were
ornamented with game On this even
ing, while sitting in the tent engaged
IN a lively chat. there came suddenly
from the deep, still forest about us a
wild, unearthly scream. frightful
enough To make the hair stand erect
ON the head of the INITIATED. and il
would have made it stand ON the head
of Mat, our colored cook. whom we
had taken from Cairo. had il not been
for the kinks.
As If by concert of thought, every
countenance of the ten assumed an
anxious look. sPantherr exclaimed
an old hunter: Yes, responded an
other. Smells our game" says the
third. Soon. naturally enough, we
Were engaged in the narration Of blood
curdling stories in relation TO panthers.
Then one OF the party thought we
needed fresh water in camp, and Mat
was detailed to bring it from the creek.
few rods away. he hesitated, but
went, taking the az with him and
making the quickest trip on record.
We noticed after that when night set
in we always had abundance OF fresh
water in camp.
The next year Mat was with us again
IN the same region, but in a wilder
camp. II possible, than the old one.
One afternoon came into camp earlier
than usual and found Mat sitting ON a
log, the whitest darlSy 1 ever saw,
grasping with both hands one foot, the
blood dripping from them. found a
frightful wound; he had put the full
edge Of the AK deeply and lengthwise
into the top of his foot. With the aid
of thread and a glover's needle /
closed the wound, and with bandages
from a linen coat / had in camp
staunched the flow of blood.
The next year Mat did not accom-
pany us, but procured another darky
who was several degrees darker than
the ten of spades, but sharp, raised on
plantation in Missouri.
One day while ehattering with Billy
he said: Mr.. L, Matt says there are
a good many panthers here, and that
had better keep a good lookout and
have the ak handy. Did he tell YOU
now ne came To cut his footl He said
one day he was chopping, and when
the AK was raised ready to strike, a
panther screamed behind him IN the
timber, and he looked around sudden.
ly and somehow the ak came down on
his foot"
A few days after that came into
camp and found Billy preparing food,
and a few yards IN front of him, sit.

with twinkle in his eye, pointed to

How 70 Enjoy winter Ba.l...

Probably nothing is so neglected
during winter time as bathing. There
Is a natural dislike to bathing when
one gets chilled afterward. This could
be avoided, writes doctor in The
London Lancet, If bathrooms were
heated all the time, not just when one
wants TO bathe. but continually dur
ing the day and evening. The troublS
OF starting a fire often deters one from
taking bath. The bathrooms should
be heated very warm, not merely
enough TO take the 'schill OF the air y
but enough to prevent the bather re-
ceiying a chill after his bath. and u
permit him 70 bathe without hurry
ing.

Some very interesting discoveries
have lately been made on the planet
mercury by SchiaParelli, the great
Italian astronomer. Such remarkably
acute eyesight has this man that he &
able TO discover spots on the planet
where other astronomers see only a
blank surface. BY watching and
studying these spots during a period of
several years, SchiapareIh was able 10
determine the time OF rotation of the
planet on its axis and the angle which
its equator makes with the plane of
its orbit. Schroeder a hundred wears
ago, noticed a bunting of the horns
OF the planet when crescent, and from
these observations Herchel computed
that the planet revolved once in
twenty-four hours. Schiaparelli's OBJ
servations show this to be entirely
wrong, for he observed the spots re-
peatedly on the same day without see.
ing any signs of rotation. However.
from day 10 day he noticed a slight
change in the position Of the spots.
and finally found that the planet re-
volved on its axis in the same time
that IL rotated around the sun. /. e.. In
about eighty-eight days Il, there
fore, always turns the same surface
toward the sun, just as our moon docs
toward the earth.-New York Com

The joss who lives iIl16 Mott street.
New York. isa fine looking fellow, with
a mustache and chin whiskers like
punches of horse hair. His people,
once every week, supply the table in
front of the shrine where he hangs
with all the delicacies Of the season.
Until two months ago joss was sup

the aroma of the feast and the smoke
of the incense. Every Sunday the
stale yiands were replaced with fresh

One Sunday when the attendant ex-

The food was there for joss. and he
had right TO eat it If he wanted. But
such a thing had never been heard Of
before. Week after week the food dis
appeared and the attendant went
around among his friends and told
them the marvel.

For really gentle, girlish grace and
refinement would you be apt TO look
IN the neighborhood of the notoriously
rough and tough Five Points. Hardly.
Yet here is curiously contradictory
case, A professional gambler, and
ward politician, "a man OF infiooencer
in that quarter, had a pretty daughter.
She was literally reared in the slums.
and, although she went away for edu-
cation, her social connections were
with people congenial to her repre-
hensible sire. A year ago she made
her debut as an actress. Her father
had long been a butt for printed ridi-
Guile, and so. when she was announced
70 act at a Bowery theatre matinee, fun
was anticipated. But she acquitted
herself so respectfully that nobody
laughed at her, and the affair was not
noticed by the press. Well, went
last night to see a beautiful aud elab-
orate production of Shakespearian
comedy in fashionable Broadwax
theatre. and there was the Five Points
girl enacting dainty and difficult
character in the incest, neatest man
ner imaginable. Every word that she
uttered and every movement that she
made was an expression of ideal gem
tiIity. She was just the sort of girl

A Contrast Between Past and Present.

1t is singularly suggestive fact that
the patent Office building, one of the
most beautiful structures in this or
any other country, is. in the main, a
reproduction Of the architecture of
ancient Greece It Is almost paradoxi-
cal that the inventive genius Of this
young and vigorous nation. genius
that has borne its part in revolution
izing. the arts and industries Of the
world, Is thus visibly linked TO the
remote past; that the system which
has placed our country In the van Of
the march Of progress, a system that
makes aggressive warfare on the past
and contemns the present, while Il
pays its devotion to the future. Is
housed in an edifice that was virtually
conceived in brains that moIdered back
TO kindred dust 5000 years ago.-Cor.
