He Changes to Stone.

One of the most remarkable human
curiosities ever seen has beensexamined
by M. de QuatEefages, the French natur-
alist. He is provincial named Simeon
Aiguier, and is 80 years old. Aiguier,
thanks to his peculiar system of muscles
and nerves, can transform himself in
most wondrous fashion
At one moment, assuming the rigidity
of statue, his body may be struck
sharply, the blows falling on block of
stone. At another he moves his intes-
tines from above and below and right to
left into the form of large football, and
projects it forward, which gives him the
appearance of a colossalfy stout person
age.
He then withdraws it into the thorax,
opening like a cave, and the hollow look
of his body Immediately reminds one of
a skeleton. Aiguier successfully imi-
tates man subjected to the tortures of
the rack, as also a man hanging himself,
and assumes a strikingly cadaverous
look. What most astonished M. de
Quatrefages was the stoppage of the cir
culation of the blood, now on the left
and now on the right side, which was
effected by muscular contraction.-Cin

An Eagle Trapped by Locomotive.

While Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy freight train was coming from
Burlington here recently the engineer
noticed an eagle sitting on the track
feasting on rabbit.
The eagle arose when the engine drew
near, but the locomotive was running so
rapidly that the big bird could not clear
it. One of the wings tapped into the
wedge shaped space formed by the head
light bracket and the extension at the
front end of the boiler, and was held
there as in a wise. The fireman went
forward and released the wing and car
ried the eagle into the cab, where it
showed fight and made things lively for
the engineer, who finally cornered itand
brought it here alive. tits now the prop

Love Finds q w.y.

latest break of this hind was made by
one of the prettiest girls in Louisville.
She wrote letter to her brother, who is
at Knoxville, and at the.same time q let
ter to well known young newspaper
man. The envelope directed to the lat
ter contained a letter beginning .sDear
Brother" At first the recipient of the
epistle did not think this strange, as the
young lady, although living in the city,
is boarding at one of the female schools.
After reading few lines he saw it was
not intended for him. Looking at the
end he saw the letter was signed "Your
Little Sister" This alarmed him and he
began to think how he could get the girl
out Of the scrape.
Finally he lost his head and did the
very thing he should not have done. He
telegraphed the brother not to open the
letter, that it was not intended for him
This had just the opposite effect, and the
brother opened it, read it through and
then forwarded it to his parents. The
young lady is being sent to school to
keep her away from this aspiring young
journalist. The father paid him call
and a stormy scene was the result. The
young lady's letters have to go through
the hands of the teacher now. In spite
of this she has managed to get letter to
him, and he has written an answer that
has reached its destination, proving that

"A TOUGH KID.
Officer Schwartz Rolled in the
Mud by Boy of Sixteen Years.


Officer Schwartz of the merchants police
who is at present retained by the manage
ment of the base ball park, was treated to
genuine surprise while in the discharge of
his duty yesterday afternoon. Schwartz, it
appears, was patrolling solemny around the
base ball grounds about 2:30, clothed in that
peculiar air of dignity so common to the
special officer, when he suddenly espied
youth about sixteen years of age looking
through crack i'll the fence. Schwartz or
dered the boy to leave, but, instead of acting
upon this suggestion, Mr.. Kid turned
upon the officer and proceeded to
have fun with him. He tripped him
up, and after he had rolled him
in the gutter and soiled his uniform, smote
him i'll the face and caused his nose to bleed.
Schwartz blew his whistle for help and an
other officer came running up, but the boy
was too much for their combined forces, and
telephone message was sent to police head
quarters for the wagon and detail of police.
FINALLY the desperate young man was over
powered and landed i'll the central station.
He gives the name of Pat Egan
