Sensations During Hanging

One question often asked, and which
few living persons are able to answer, is,
"What are the sensations of man who
is being strangied with roper Some
of the few who have lived to give an ac-
count of what occurred to them at that
critical moment say that after one in
stant of pain the chief sensation is that
: Of a mass of brilliant colors before the
eyes. Professor Boughton, who was one
day testing for himself what such an
experience would be like, lost his foot
ing and was accidentally discovered and
rescued just as the last faint spark of
life was about to leave the body. lie
declared afterward that he felt no pain
and that the only sensation was that of
q fire before his eyes, which finally
changed from a bright blue to black
color. He said that he had no fear of
the Consequences and that the colors
were even Rsource of extreme pleasure

explanation that it is due to excessive
absorption of water by the peat, or that
it is caused by exploding gases, but at

A SMART MULE.
1t Eescues One of It's Fellows nad Saves
a Railroad Train.


Railroad Train.
l heard a good story the other day that
was told by an old locomotive engineer,
or engine driver, as they more properly
call him in England-for the engineer is
the man that surveys and "lays out" the
road-and am going to give it to you
exactly as he told it. If you don't want
to believe it all shall not object, but
shall preface the ''yarn" with the re-
mark that there are some "mighty
smart" mules in the world. Here is the
story:
Railroad people have horror of run
ming over animals, not only because
they don't like to kill them, for humane
reasons, but because collision with one
often results in derailing the train.
There is another reason, too, as the
old engineer said-they don't like to
'muss up their engines by strewing
pieces of animal all over it, One day on
railroad out in Illinois this engineer
scared up o mule on the track beside
him. They were about two miles from
bridge at the time. Knowing the
fashion all animals have of running
straight ahead on the track instead of
putting their common sense on the mat
ter and sheering off to one side, the en-
gineer fairly made the surrounding
country ring with the noise of his
whistle, SO as to get clear of the mule
before they got to the bridge. But Mr..
Mule seemed to think that the whistle
was invented only to keep him on the
track and make him run faster, and he
kept straight on at redoubled speed.
Of course the engine could easily have
overtaken him and knocked him into
smithereens, but as that might have re-
suited in knocking the train into the
same kind of fragments, the engineer
slackened speed a little and. finally
stopped and sent the'fireman out to drive
the beast off the track. That was done
several times, but each time the fireman
had hardly got into the cab again when
the mule was on the track the same as
before and tearing ahead like mad. In
fact, the thing was becoming very mo-
notonous, when, looking up suddenly,
the engineer saw that he was very close
to the bridge. Then he began to get un-
easy for fear the idiot of a mule-as he
thought the animal to be-was going to
try to cross the bridge-though how he
would manage to step on the ties sure
footed the puzzled railroader could not
understand.
They were so near the bridge by that
time that the engineer dared not go an
other rod, so he stopped short-just as
the old mule dashed off across field
braying like a good fellow. And then
the engineer and fireman saw the game
the wise old animal was playing. Right
in the middle of the bridge was another
mule, stuck fast with his legs between
the ties. The old railroader insists upon
it that the mule had. kept on the track
to make the train go slow, and thus pre-
vent it from coming into collision with
the mule on the bridge, not because it
cared SO much about the fate of its COM
panion, but to save the train from wreck.
decline to express an opinion; as for
you, you can take your choice as to the
mules motive.-Eumane World.
