AnnihiIated in Mid Air.

Tuesday afternoon about 8 o'clock,
just before the heavy shower, several
gentlemen were sitting in front OF II
store in West Nashville when one Of
the party observed II large turkey
buzzard that was sailing majestically
across the sky, and remarked that II
the buzzard did not look out he would
get wet.
Their attention was thus called to
the bird, and all were lazily watching
its flight. when suddenly, just as it
was opposite and above them, they
were blinded by flash OF lightning
which seemingly exploded on the back
ofthe buzzard. They were astonished
somewhat, but recovered themselves
and looked for the buzzard, but alas,
the majestic bird was out Of sight.
All that was left OF him was few
black tail feathers, which fluttered
patheticaIIy on the ground.
Those who witnessed the phenom-
enon succeeded in catching several Of
the scorched feathers, which they ex-
hibit in corroboration of the story

A Pathetic Incident.

An old lady who used 10 be much
in London society, relates a touching
incident Of the poet Moore. On one
occasion when the once brilliant wit
and writer was in his old age losing
his memory, the American was asked
to sing for small company Of which
she was one. She complied with the
request and sang Believe me II all
those endeariDg Young Charms The
poet listened with evident pleasure to
his famous and charming piece, and
when the singer had finished he said
with much earnestnesss.-
will you please tell me who wrote
that beautiful song?"
why Mr.. Moore" she answered,
''you certainly don't expect me TO be
lieve that you have forgotten your
own work"
The old man regarded her an in
slant with a pathetic look. the con
sciousness OF his infrnities and bro
ken mind evidently forcing itself upon
him. Then he buried his face In his
hands and burst into tears. Tom
Moore. the brilliant, fiery favOrite OF
London society, could only weep for
what he was in remembering what he
had been.

Brutes in a Biting Match.

In West Coal township, Pa. Sunday
morning, Patrick Ryan and James
Levitt engaged in ten-round biting
match, a contest that has rarely been
equaled in brutality by any struggle
between human beings. For some
time there had been bad blood be-
tween the men over the latter's wife,
and when the principals met on Sat
urday night they concluded to have
q prize fight with bare knuckles.
1t was midnight when they met, with
couple hundred friends, in dane
ing pavilion. After fighting "A few
rounds the principals agreed 10 turn
the struggle into II biting match.
Their hands were strapped behind
their backs and time was called.
Ryan lodged Levitts rush, and be
fore the latter could recover Ryan's
teeth had torn piece Of flesh from
his opponents cheek. Levitt immed-
lately retaliated by sinking his molars
into Ryan's cheek. Ryan sprang on
his halffainting opponent and delib-
eratelv tore almost half OF the lower
jaw out The spectators, not being
able to stand further brutality, inter
fered, stopped the fight, and both
men were carried home.

How Dimes are Made.

The United States mint at San
Francisco cannot turn out diuIes as
fast as they are needed. The silver
bullion is first melted and run into
two-pound bars. These in turn are
run through immense rollers and fiat
tened out to the thickness Of the coin.
These silver strips are then passed
through a machine which cuts them
into proper size for the presses, the
strips first having been treated with a
kind Of tallow 10 prevent their being
scratched in their passage through
the cutters. The silver pieces are
then put into the feeder OF the print
ing presses. and are fed TO the die by
automatic machinery at the rate OF
100 per minute, 5000 dimes being
turned out in a regular working day
of twelve hours. The finished coins
are then ready for the counters
