N. 0. WINTER.


The orthodox clergyman of n New England
village recently placed in trying position, ac-
quilted himself with unusual caution, if not
with perfect success The occasion was the
funeral of Mr.. Toilet, the third husband of
Mrs. Toilet, a woman much younger than he.
The Toilets regular clergyman was away at
the time Of Mr.. Folet's death. In this emer-
gency the family called upon the orthodox
clergyman, who was almost a stranger. A
neighbor instructed him hastily rs to the ai-
mirabe qualities Of the deceased and his family
relations. During the funeral discourse no out
slider would have suspected that the clergyman
had not been life long friend of the late Mr..
Toilet. When he came to mention the widow
in his prayer, however, it was evident that his
data had become somewhat confused, He said:

The Flight of a Cannon-Ban.

The weil-known scientific photographer An.
schetz of Lissa has for some years been expert
menting in making photographs of the fight
of cannonb-alls from the instant they leave
the muzze of the gun to tho time of their
striking the object aimed at After many at
tempts and failures he finally succeeded In
obtaining highly -interesting results, not reach
ing what he called the acme of projection, how.
ever, until 1890. The plates of this last
mentioned experiment were submitted to DR..
Koenig, of the Berlin University, who was
able to make therefrom the long sought practi-
cal calculations. From figures thus deduced
DIR. Koenig established the fact that the pro-
jectie photographed has been passing through
the air with velocity of 400 meters per second
and that the duration Of the light thrown on
the photographic plates had not exceeded the
ten-thousandth part of second.

however, he is only wounded, and perhaps

They do not even finish one poor horse before
beginning another. Oh, no! that would, no
doubt, be too humane. Generally there are at
least three riders in the ring, and each seems
to vie with the other. either as to which can
tumble the best or which can kill the most

horses walking about in greater or less degree
