FOURTEEN MILES OF FEAR.
Desperate Chances Taken by a Conductor

Funny, isn't it, what daredevil acts rail-
road men will often do?" asked a little
travelling man Of a few friends as he
dropped into one Of the Grand Pacific ro-
tGnda chairs.
Yes something like trying to run two
trains on the same track, or trying to see
whether the rail or mans leg is the hard

Things were very dull along the front
Yesterday so far as shipping was concerned,

made. or as near that time as possible, but

The device which will be worn on the
cap ribbons of the seamen Of the Naval Bat
talon, n. G. c., will be the following:
NAVAL BATTALION.
1t was amusing how the officers came to
choose this device. The original motion
was in favor Of NAVAL Battalion" An
amendment was offered that some company
designation be added But it was suggested
that there are no companies in The navy,
ana an amendment to the amendment vas
offered that the designation be by division,
as it would be on board ship. But then it
was argued that these particular battalion
lists would be as much sea as land soldiers,
and anyhow in the navy there are no spec tc
designations, and all on a particular ship
only have GA their ribbons the name Of the
vessel Tie result finally was that both
amendments were lost, and a motion carried
that the subject lay over for another meet
ing Not satisfied with this motion TO re-
consider was made and carried. the subject
Ie0pened, the original motion moved again,

Vaccine Virus.

The preparation used to produce what
we call vaccination" is known among
medical men as vaccine virus, to produce
which it is necessary to 60 through a sur
gical operation, the subject being a
young cow or Ieven a calf. After scarify-
ing the belly Of the animal Ghe parts
having previously been shaved, the
wound is inoculated with virus from an
animal already in use. A sore is thus
formed without lasting injury to the
beast, and after O week or ten days a
thin vaccid matter begins to flow from
the abrasion. This pus or matter is the
vaccine virus of commerce. Goose quilts.
which have been scraped with a knife
until they present a rough exterior, are
rubbed in this virus. Tho virus from
one abrasion is sufficient to coat 10, 900
ouills, which, after being so prepared,
are technically called ''points." These
points when ready for shipment, look
very much like ordinary goose quilts,
the virus coating not being visible to tho
naked eye.
There are several parties in the United
States who make it a business to supply
the rest of humanity with vaccine virus.
One of these "~vaccine farms" is at the
Agricultural College, Columbus, Ohio;
another at Foud du Lac, Wis. the third,
and also the largest in the world, in New
Jersey, the property of DR.. E. A. Lewis.

A Queer Little Crab.

A curious japanese crab is the llttls
Dorippe, which comes from the Inland
Sea of Japan, and has a perfect human
face modelled on the back of his little
inch.long shell. The D%orippe's eyes,
and the Uneven edge of the shell between
them, look like tufts of hair at the top
of a narrow forehead. Thera are Jumps
resembling eyelids, which slant upward
as do those of the Japanese, and other
parts of the she'll look like full and high
cheek.bones. Below a ridge which
might be called the nose two claws
spread out at either side, and may be
likened to the fierce, bristling mustaches
which are fastened to the helmet of
Japanese armor. This plainly marked
face on the crabs shell naturally gave
rise to many stories aud legends. At
certain times Of the year the Dorippes
come up on the beach and the rocks by
thousands. Then the fishermen and vii
layers say with fear, "The Samutai have
come again. They believe that the souls
of the dead warriors, or Samurai, live in
the Dorippes, and that they gather in
great numbers at the scene of their de-
feat whenever the same day comes round
IN later years.
The face on the Dorippe's back is like
a swollen aud notified one. The eye
lids seem closed, as if in a sleep or
stupor, while its mouth quite carries out
the other common story, that all the old
topers are turned into these crabs and
must keep that form as a punishment for
some long time. The swollen heavy
faces may quite as well be those of
bleary old topers as of warriors who met
death by drowning; so that n who
notices the resemblance of the shell to q
queer Japanese face may think there Is
good reason for either story as to why
the Dorippe's shell is so strangely
marked.-fT. Nicholas.

A Singular Fox Trap.

Two of three nights ago a fox, while
prowling about the western part OF South
Glastonbury, near the river, caught his
tail in a barbed wire fence. In some
way, evidently in an attempt to escape,
he twisted it about the wire several
times and finally firmly anchored himself
in this novel way. OF course it did not
take very long for some one to discover
his plight in the morning, and the Mil
Ter Boys put an end to his chicken steal
ing with their guns. The statements
rest on perfectly u~nassailable testimony,
and the incident makes, tits believed, a
thoroughly unique record in the history
of fox ''huntIng" in Connectlc@t.-
