He Changes to Stone.

One CT the most remarkable human
curiosities ever seen has been examined
by II. de Quatrefages, the French natur-
aiist. He is IA provincial named Simeon
Aigu;e-, 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 4 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 a large football, and
projects it forward, which gives him the
appearance Of a colossally stout person
age.
He then withdraws it into the thorax,
opening like 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, us also man hanging himself,
and assumes a strikingly cadaverous
look. What most astonished NJ. de
Quatrafages was the stoppage of the cir
culatlon of the blood, now on the left
and now on the right side, which was
effected by muscular contraction. Gin

Thomas Shelby, a farmer. living eight
miles from Lexington, Ky, on the
Richmond turnpike, had desperate en-
counter with a wounded eagle recently.
He was out riding over his farm
when he discovered large bird perched
on the topmost limb CT a tree At the
first glance he thought the bird to be
black buzzard, but as he drew nearer
he concluded that it must be an eagle.
He noticed that the bird kept eying his
dogs, which We're near the tree. Shelby
tool advantage Of this fact and rode up
close to the tree on the opposite side
from the dogs. He had his shotgun
with him, loaded with small shot.
When he reached point abou, thirty
yards from the tree he fired. The eagle
came crashing down through the
branches and Shelby r4n to pick it up.
Isie load Of SHOT vas too small TO do
more than disable tle birl u brc2,--;ns
It's wings.
As Shelby approached the bird of free
dom turned and dashed at him with the
ferocity Of tiger. By rapid lodging
he managed to keep out Of reach Of the
birds claws for several moments. He
finally picked up q fallen limb, and each
time the bird dashed at him lie avoided
it and struck and rained effective blows
upon the vicious bird of freedom. It
was not, however, until he had mashed
its head almost to a jelly that the bird
gave up the fight. Shelby escaped with
Il number Of scratches and took the bird
TO Lexington, where it was placed on
exhibition. It is Of the species known
as the gray eagle, and is the first one
killed in this part Of the country for
many years. 1t weighed seventeen
pounds and measured nearly seven feet

Spoiled the Murder.

A murderous melodrama held the
boards at Jacobs theatre last week.
There was a sprinkling Of comedy, how
ever, through the third act on Saturday
evening that set the audience agog.
The hero of the play had just described
to the soubrette how himself and the
boys had been down at the blacksmith's
''shoeing" geese. He cracked a weak
joke in explaining how the geese gath
cred round a pool of water near the old
forge, and how the boys amused them
selves by shaking their hats at them,
shouting "Shoo, shoo!' The gallery
boys caught on at once, and every time
the villain unfolded one of his horrible
plots on the lives of the hero and heroine
the goods completely drowned him out
with their ''shoos."
It was at very serious situation in
the performance. The life Of an unpro-
tected young heiress was about to be
taken by the unscrupulous scoundrel
The sea rolled heavily and the storm
ragged fiercely; while the desperate deed
awaited execution. ''Ha! she comes;
she'll never see him again. He was
within arms reach of her now. He held
a bloody knife in his right hand. In
moment he would plunge it into her
body, but in the weirdest and most hair
standing tones from among the CANCELS"
came, "Shoo. shoe. shoo!' in rapid sue
cession.
The awful scene was broken. The vii
lain jumped three feet in the air and
forgot his lines. The heroine forgot her
self, and looked her wouldbe murderer
straight in the face with horror at the
thought of a breakdown, but of course
didn't see him. Whether by an act of
providence, to save the villain from his
nervous plight, or through the effect of
inclement weather on the electric wires,
every light in the house went out in
stantly. Affairs were righted after
time.-New York Telegram.

The Proverbial Lively Cricket.

Carpenters drilling a mortise into a
heavy oak scantling at Cromwell, on the
Connecticut river, a few days ago, dis
placed solid knot and found two crickets
in little round cavity behind the knot.
The crickets were alive, but not very
lively, and were of pale, waxy hue,
with yellow spots on their backs. They
died within few moments after they
had been exposed to the air. How did
they get walled into the little hollow IN
the scantlins? Unquestionably they
crawled into knot hole in the stick

ing tree, and the wood grew about them,

Oft.n young man has written two

ter to well known young newspaper
man. The envelope directed to the lat

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 a 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
cut Of the scraoe.
Finally lie lost his head and did the
very thing he should not have done. He
.elegraphed the brother not to open the
letter, that it vas not intended for him.
This lad just the opposite effect, and the
brother opened it. read it through and
then forwarded it to his parents. The
