Solldation of classes to be dropped from

West Point Death NIasIru

In glass-faced, black box hung in
the officers mess at West Point are two
death masks whose duplicates are not
known to exist in this country. One is
of Napoleon and the other of Fredericl,
the Great. Commander Chadwick of the
navy secured them in London some
years ago and presented them to the
mess. To say that they are highly
priced is putting it very mildly. There
is ample proof of their authenticity, so
their stlrtling lack of resemblance to
the popular portraits of the dead lead
ers is all the more interesting. Napo-
Icons cast is by far the better; the fea-
lures are natural and seem to ,e in a
calm repose, while the face is thin al
most to emaciation. It's fine face,
but not the face of the Napoleon we
have been taught to know. Old Indian
fighters say it is the exact counterpart
of the face of Black Hawk. Frederick's
face is weazen and drawn and fearfully
out of shape. 1t looks like the face of n
mummy.

The want of absolute silence on the

proper application of the well-l1nown
twist system for preventing inductive
disturbances.
A GREAT event in the annals of Indian
telegraphy was the completion recent

Bengal-Nagpore railway. The total

THE LAST CHANCE LOUNGER.

The other morning I happened to be one
of a party of four around a table at an all
night restaurant. 1t was what is known as
a night shift party. All were i'll a more
or less communicative mood and while
waiting for the orders the talk fell upon
subjects of common interest to at least two
of the party. Unde interesting circum-
stances they had killed one or more of their
men when necessity demanded the death of
some one. One of the party had read of
curious exhibitions of hypnotism and from
that, conversation followed on the subject
of curious sensations. There were divers
opinions. One said; The most startling SEN
sation that | experienced was when | first
