thick; transyersely through the whole

idea OF the strength which must have

fact that rifle six-pounder could not
have done more than pierce that thick

sci stated that they felt the shock
caused by the blow. and thought that
they had struck something floating be-

4 Wonderful Man.

William Kingston, OF Ditch-heat
Somersetshire, England, was 1.-THE
most wonderful OF all that wondrous
krew." Concerning him writer OF
the London Chronicle says: l put
half a sheet of paper, with pen and
ink, on the floor before him. He
threw Off his shoes as he sat; took the
ink stand in the toes Of his left foot
(having been born without arms). and
held the pen in those Of the right. He
then wrote three fine lines better than
most can with the fingers. He feeds
himself, and can bring both his meat
or his broth to his mouth by holding
the fork or spoon in his toes. He
showed me how he shaves.
He can dress and undress himself.
He is farmer by occupation; milks
his cows with his toes, cuts his own
hay and binds up the bundles and car
ries it about the field for his cattle.
In saddiing and bridling his horse he
does it with his teeth. He is so strong
in his teeth that he can lift ten pecks
OF beans with them, and he can throw
hammer rs far with his feet us most
people can with their hands.

Fearful Mortality.

The number OF Americans who die
annually in Rome is greater than most
people have any idea of. The Roman
fever is a malignant type OF malarial
fever. There is a large cemetery in
Rome which is filled with the remains
of American victims OF the Roman
fever. Another cemetery in Paris also
contains goodly number of the same
class. They contracted the fever in
Rome. 1t is not surprising that Rome
should be unhealthy. The present city
is built on top of seven cities. In the
ancient days. every time Rome was re-
built they filled in and started new
city over it. That has been repeated
seven times. When one thinks of the
amount of filth and garbage that lies
under the present city, he can only
wonder that any one is able to live
there"
