FACT AGAINST FICTION.
A Real Occurrence That Parallels
Very Strange Imaginary One.

A Real Occurrence Thaf PARALLEL
Very Strange Imaginary One.
There is no Pigment OF the imagin
ation-if it is at all within the limi
OF pOssibilities-more curious OF
strange than some things that actual
ly happen. Tie following is an i'll
stance in proof OF this:
A few years ago Frank Millet, the
wellkuowu artist, war correspondent
and story writer, published Il short
story in a Ieaoing magazine, which
had, as its principal feature, the mys-
ferrous killing of Partisan artist in
his own studio. A web OF Circum
stantiaI evidence led to the arrest OF
a model who had been in the habit
of posing for him. But through some
change of circumstances, which the
writer of this has now forgotten, the
murder-if murder il can be called
was found to have been caused by
the discharge OF u tirearm, through
the force of capillary attraction. The
firearm was used by the artist as a
studio accessory, ard was hung in
such q manner that he was directly
In line with it. It's discharge Oc-
cured when he was alone ia his
studio.
The story WAS vivid and ingenious
fight OF the Imagination. Now tor
its parallel in fact.
A recent number of q legal paper
tells of the arrest of man upon the
charge of killing his cousin. The
dead man was found lying upon u
lounge about o'clock in the after
noon, with 32-caliber ball in his
i.rslu. The cousin, who had an in
crest of 100000 in his death, was
alone with him in the house at tt g
time.
The discovery of the real cause OF
death was due to the lawyer of the
accused. who took the rifle from
which the ball had Oeen fired, loaded
and hung it upon the wall, and then
marked the form of a man upon
white sheet and placed it upon the
lounge, where the man had been
round. Then a heavy ut glass pitcher
OF water was placed on the shell
above. The temperature was 80 de-
grees in the shade. The pitcher of
water acted as a sun-glass, and the
hot rays Of the sun shining through
the water were refracted directly up
on the cartridge chamber of the rifle
Eight witnesses were in the room
and few minutes after o'clock
there was pull and report and
the ball struck the outline form back
of the ear-and the theory of circum-
stantisl evidence was exploded.
This is interesting, not only because
the real occurrence is quite as strange
as the imagined one, but because the
fact came after the fiction, and paral-
Ieled it so closely.

How the Parrot Was Reformed.

The wickedness canal parrot is ig-
norant of is not worth learning. Not
many canal parrots reform; but one did.
His cage hung in front of a canal store
and as consequence the bird could
swear in manner to make an ordinary
parrots feathers stand up with horror.
And as swearing is--or used to be-the
chief part of a canal drivers language,
nobody could tell whether the parrot or
a driver was talking
One day boat stopped at the store
and the entire crew, including the driver,
went into the building and staid long
time. This was the parrots opportunity.
The tired horses were left unattended:
so he proceeded to attend to them.
Back he commanded, with much
swearing
The horses promptly obeyed the IA
miliar order
"Backi' he screamed again, much en-
couraged
Thsy obeyed again, and yet again. And
ne kept on swearing and yelling Back"
until at last the horses tumbled into the
canal and were drowned
The parrot laughed a little, but not
much, over the success of his efforts.
And it was noticed that he never swore
after that melancholy affair.
The reason was that the driver wrung
his neck. Brooklyn Life

Remarkable Story Of a stowanax.

The London Lancet records a remark
able case, which illustrates what human
beings are driven to do when suffering
the agonies Of starvation. The body of
an Arab was found in The hold of ship,
and was conveyed to the Seamen's hos
pital, Greenwich, where a post mortem
examination was made by order of the
coroner The body was much emaciated,
and the following extraordinary list of
materials was found in the intestines:
Twenty trousers buttons, three cog
wheels apparently out of watch, one
e-inch steel scrgw bent double, one finch
screw six pieces Of Lock ,,yI thee a Finch inch
broad, circular piece Of brass, several
pieces Of iron wire, brass, lead, and
two key TALES on a ring one inch in
length
The weight of the articles amounted
to almost half a pound. The unfortunate
uan had evidently secreted himself in
the vessel, and had remained undiscov-
cred by the crew during the whole of the
voyage from some distant port, and had
swallowed these articles to relieve the
pangs of hunger
