GREAT AMONG SCIENTISTS.
William Thomson, Upom Whom the Peerage Has Just Been Conferred.

The peerage conferred on Sir Will jam Thomson has been hailed with ac- clamation. There is no more distin- guished English scientist living than the professor of natural philosophy in the University of Glasgow. As mathe- matician, electrician and thinker his position is singularly high. Perhaps his most daring hypothesis has been his theory that life was generated on the earth by transmission from one of the Anars-a theory, of course, which, if true, would only explain the transmits sion of life, not it's generation He is a very popular lecturer, strong union ist in politics and a man of the most varied accomplishments. He succeeded Sir George Stokes as president of the Royal society in 1890.
 Among the most important of his contributions to the advancement of electrical science are the construction of several beautiful instruments and their application to atmospheric elec- tricity. But it is in connection with submarine telegraphy that his labors c electrical science are best known.

other dissecting-room gaveties. But when you see a young girl open one corner of small and decidedly pretty mouth and calmly let loose a whole flock of the sweetest song birds known, it Is a very natural thing, after tine first shock of surprise is over, to ask how on earth she does it.
 It is really very remarkable what this modest and gentle-faced young girl does. She is such a very quiet and un- obtrusive young person at first sight that the surprise when she gives you the first intimation of her gifts is all the greater. You know when she ap. pears that she has nothing to do with the delirious rubbish that is happening on the stage, but that-she is about to do something you are sure, of course. or sEe wouldn't be there. When in her very artless way she begins her little recitation about birds, and then sud denly breaks into it, and from that mo- ment goes weaving and winding all through it that marvellous linked chain of all the liquid bird melody of an en- tire forest and meadow bird orchestra, the effect is quite startling.
 Shut your eyes and you are no longer in the frowzy atmosphere of a theater If is an early morning in June and you are out in the woods somewhere. There are no electric lights and gas jets; it is blazing summer sunlight. It is the odor of the forest, not of the footlights, that comes to you. Certainly it is a very astonishing thing to be done just by the loosening and contracting of vocal chords with the valuable aid of bronchial tubes and tborax.
 Miss Stephenson says, and after hearing her you arc quite prepared to believe it, that she can initiate any bird that wears wings and feathers and, as wings and feathers are part of the anatomical equipments of all birds it amounts to saying that she can imi- tate them all. She can give the judi cioas and non-frivolous. ''quaclS, quacls' of the conservative and serious minded duck as accurately as she can initiate the giddy, soaring song of the vanish ing skylark. It was n very early ac- ouisition with her. She took to talk ing bird lingo almost as soon as she took to talking the sound commercial English of Michigan, where she was born.
 She is true American girl Miss Stephenson, and she has mingled in the very best American bird society Her repertoire is almost exclusively that of our own sweet singing American birds. She was in England recently, and picked up the songs of the thrush, nightingale, and slsylark, just to show these stars of Englsh bird opera that their songs were easy enough, and that anybody who had had course in an American bird-music conservatory could do them. But it is the whip -poor-will, the yellow breast, the chicadee. the red bird, the catbird, the meadow-lark, the swallow, the bobolink, and, oi course, the robin with the red waist coat-these are the birds, good Ameri- cans all, whose songs she loves best to | sing.
 Then she can give to perfection the weird, melancholy cry of the loon and can pipe so like the quail that you have only to shut your eyes and fancy thai you are out in the brown stubble of the fields Neither the domestic goose noi

carried the Prince quietly.
 The King was so overjoyed at the courage and skill of his son that he presented him with the horse, exclaim- ing: "Go. my son; seek another king dom, for Macedonia cannot suffice fo- thee"
 Alexander became much attached to his horse and took him with him through all his campaigns in Asia. After bearing his master safely through many conflicts, Bucephalus is said to have died of the wounds he received in the battle with Porus. the Indian king; but Arrian, the historian of Alexander, says that he died of fatigue and old age, being then about 30 years old.
 However that may be, Alexander was deeply affected at the loss of the faith ful companion of his victories, and on the banks of the Hydaspes he built a city in his honor, which he named Bucephala.

AN EXCITING ENCOUNTER.
a Dying Swordfsh Nearly Makes an
End of His Osptor.

From the Net0 York Tribune.
BOSTON, Aug. 22-The shcooner Venus, of
the swordflshing fleet at Long Wharf, re-
ports thrilling experience by one of its
crew. A large fish was harpooned by the
man on the bowsprit, which, as usual, i'm
mediately dove deep. The buoy line at
tached to the harpooD was thrown over
board and the fish was left to drown, In a
few minutes came the task of pulling it in.
and Joseph Harding jumped into his dory
to land the fish. AS he was about to finish
the work of killing it with his lance, the big
fellow dove again. The lines became
wound about Harding's legs and he was in
the coils. Throwing himself forward into
the bow of the boat, Harding saved the dory
from being capsized, and as the fish sped
along it almost hurled the dory's bow under
water. The rope cut to the bone, but Hard
ing could not help himself, for to move
meant to be dragged overheard and drown
ed. But the fish soon weakened, and the
minute it slackened its speed, Harding
cleared himself and plunged the lance into
his prize. When it came to the surface, a
few minutes later. the vessel came up and
he and the swordash were hoisted ON board.

house on Fifth avenue in this city. After
her lecturing tour Sophie wert around the
country in company with some bank sneaks.
One Of the thieves would drive Sophie In
buggy up to some country bank about din
ner time when only one or perhaps two
clerks would be in the office. Jumping out
of the buggy, the thief would say to the
clerk: %. Ell, Mrs. So and So is outside and
she wants to consult you about some stocks.
She would get out Of her buggy aud come
into the bank but she is very lame
The clerk would 60 out to the lady and
the thieves would slip in quietly and pocket
all they could get their paws on. About
year before she turned up In Paris as the
American lady, she walked into Brook
lyn bank with two oonfederates. A gentle
man was counting $500 just handed 20 him
by the cashier. Sophie tapped him on the
shoulder: II have dropped my handker-
Chief" she said, won't you kindly pick 1t
up for meF' He did. Sophie thanked him
for his kindness and calmly walked away.
While he was STOPPING one of the oonfed-
crates had walked off with $780,
"When Sophie left for Paris with two
notorious American thieves, she went for
plumber, and Mime. de Varney' drew the
wool over the eyes of the French de-
tectives, am sorry to say, for French de-
tectives are good men not easily hood
winked-even by American experts. But
Sophie Lyons is above the average.
Mrs Lyons had four ohildren-three
girls and one boy" continued the superin-
tendent. THE boy, alass followed in the
footsteps of his father and mother and
turned out to be a professional thief. He
died In Auburn prison. One good thing that
the parents-the mother, especially-did for
the girls: they sent them TO good school
and have kept them ignorant of the life
led by the mother. After all, mother is
a mother sometimes even if she is a crimi-
nal."
AS a blackmailer this strange woman
who, it is said, is as devoted to her daugh-
tiers as mother could be, and terribly
anxious that they may never learn what
kind Of a woman their mother really is
never had an equal. Her audaCity is amaz-
ing. She does not know what fear is and
she has all the wiles Of an unscrupulous
woman with wonderful attractiveness in

The strangest method she ever resOrted to

down the ducats to her ended III her defeat
in laughable way. He had become aware
OF the danger of her wiles. He finally
avoided her. She did many things to bring
him to her terms. She failed. Then she

that scene on that stoop would have
ended him. Police and threats of shooting
did not move her. She knew the man didn't
dare go to court. But he won in the end.
One fine day she was nearly drowned on
that stoop. A hose from an upper window
did the business. That was too much for
the fashionable Sophie. She gave up the
job and the big man to-day is great be-

THE HAPPY HUNTING GROUNDS.
Traditions of the Chootaws as to the
Life Beyond This World.
From PeGrson's Weekly.


From their earliest traditions the Choc-
taws have been taught TO believe in life
after they leave this world. They believe
that the spirit. the moment that it leaves
the body. is compelled to travel a long
distance to the west until it arrives at an
immense chasm, at the bottom of which
flows q very rapid, rocky and dangerous
stream.
This terrible gorge the soul has TO cross on
"long and slippery pine log, with the bark
peeled Of" the only passage TO the happy
hunting grounds which lie beyond the
dangerous bridge.
On the bank Of the stream just on the
other end OF the log, there always stand six
persons who have reached the "happy hunt
ing grounds" and who throw shark rocks
at whoever attempts to cross the treacher-
Gus log the moment the middle of it Is
reached.
Those who have lived properly have no
trouble in crossing the log; the stones fall
harmlessly from them and they reach the
happy hunting grounds" where there is
perpetual day without difficulty. There
the trees are ever green, the sky cloudless,
and the breeze always gently blowing
there, too, a continuous feast and dance are
going on, the people never grow old, but
live for ever and revel in perpetual youth
The wicked, when they attempt to cross
the dangerous bridge, can see the stones
which are thrown at them, aud In trying to
avoid them will fall from the giddy hight
into the awful gorge thousands Of feet be-
low the slippery log, where rushing, boil
ing stream is turning over the great sharp
rocks, filed with dead fish and the animals
which are continually brought to the same
place by the eddies aud whirlpools.
ssThsre all the trees are dead, the waters
infected by poisonous snakes, toads and
other repulsive-looking reptiles; the dead
are ever hungry, but have nothing to eat ;
are always i'll, but never die. There is no
sun, and the wicked ere constantly "climb-
ing up by thousands on the side Of high
rock, from which they can overlook the
beautiful country of this good hunting
grounds, the abode OF the happy, but can
never reach it.n

Thinga Worth Remembering.

When you feel kind of goneness about
the stomach it is sign that your food does
not sit well and that you are about to have
a fit Of indigestion.
When you begin to feel nervous and are
unable to sit still comfortably; when your
clothes suddenly seem to lose their fit and
become too tight in places the fit Of indiges-
ton is surely upon you.
When this fit of indigestion is repeated
from day to day it finally resolves its elf
into dyspepsia.
Remember that three to ten of BRAND
RETH's PILLS will cure the worst case OF in
digestion or dyspepsia or both, and that a
regular course of them, say two every night
for week or ten days. will act as a pre-
Yentive Of either complaint.-ad.
