How a Coward Feels.

1t is humiliating confession to make,
but, physically speaking, l am an arrant
coward And yet, SO far as formation
of body goes, ought not to fear to cope
with any ordinary being CT danger.
l am young, tall. have chest measure
ment of about thirty-nine inches, and
am, believe, thoroughly muscular.
How l have tried to overcome this
feeling of cowardice, but in vain! At
the first sign of my being involved in
danger turn deathly pale, my heart
beats wildly, and am seized with such
a fit of trembling that my legs almost
give way beneath me. am also rem
dered nearly speechless, for my voice
quavers to such an extent that 1 can
scarcely articulate words.
And my friends actually wanted me
to join the army!

smile. "'The pen is mightier than the
sword SO I'll stick to the pen."

Sleeping Car Flotsam and Jetsam.

There are great many articles left in
the cars of the Pullman company, but
the number of toothbrushes left far out
numbers any other article. A Pullman
porter said: 1--WE are required to turn
every article we find in the cars over to
the company. These articles are labeled
and laid away in building especially
constructed. There is hardly trip that
1 do not turn in at least two lost tooth
brushes. l suppose all other porters find
equally as many. There is simple
reason why toothbrushes are lost.
"When person uses his brush he does
not like to put it back in the satchel
while it is wet, and therefore he lets it
remain out awhile to dry. Then he for
gets it, and it falls into our hands. l
don't know what the company does with
the immense number of toothbrushes,
but suppose they sell them to some
person who cleanses them and in turn
sells them to different drug stores."-

Light without Sight.

We can perceive" light without the
smallest aid from the retina. If the
optic nerve is sufficiently excited to reach
the sensorium and create disturbance
at that center of the brain where the
optic nerve terminates we shall then see
light and sparks. If, moreover, the optic
nerve is cut or mutilated in any way we
should see brilliant flash of light,
though without any sensation of pain.
And SO it is with the other nerves; the
auditory nerve has only to be excited,
not necessarily by sound, so as to reach
its center, the brain, and we shall hear a
sound. How many ghosts might not be
destroyed in this way?-Chambers' Jour-
nal
