Conflict of Brains.

A novel method of knocking out an
enemys brains is described by gem
tleman who was camping some years
ago in the Transvaal. Everything
had been made snug for the night,
and before turning in he was sitting
with some of his companions about
the fire. Soon an alteration sprang
I'D between two Of his attendants, a
Mashoana and a Makololo, who were
standing not far off. The object of
discussion was piece of meat they
were broiling.
One word led to another, writes
the traveller, till both men became
extremely angry, and although | did
not understand, they were doubtless
using the choicest billingsgate that
they could command. At length
both rushed to the wagon. My serv-
ant whispered in my ear, "Assegai,
boss." so I sprang up to prevent them
from obtaining these weapons, of
which an abundant supply was fast
ened on the outside.
Frustrated in their attempt to arm
themselves, they rushed upon each
other. l would have interfered but
that my countryman quietly said,
"Let them fight it out, or you will
have no peace" let them do so.
Immediately they clasped each
other and commenced butting their
heads together like pair of sheep.
The blows were terrific, and sounded
almost as loud as a well-eXecuted
clap of the hands. There was no at
tempt at boxing, only butting, and so
effectually was 1t performed that
blood began to flow from both of the
antagonists noses After a lapse of
five minutes, employed in this kind
of exciting work, both sat down to
recover breath in order to renew the
encounter.
Then I interfered, and about half
an hour later | saw the combatants
sitting at the same fire and chatting
to each other most cordially, as if
the recent fight had no place even in
their memories.

tiful view of the capital. The coun-
try around abounds in squirrels, the
hunting of which was the favorite
pastime Of the President during his
former administration. The build
ing itself is old-fashioned and roomy,
and everything about it suggests the
antique.
Belvoir has had as guests many il
lustrious men, and it is related that
President Washington once stood on
the steps of the old portion of the
house and remarked that the capital
should either be built upon that
spot or upon the spot which
was afterward chosen. Gen.
Winfield Scott had elected the spot
as the site for the Soldiers Home,
but owing to some misunderstanding
with the owner at that time it was
not taken. Several Presidents have
summered at the place. Van Buren,
spent several summers there, as did
Tyler and Buchanan. 1t was at one
time the summer residence of the
Baron Geroult, the German minister
to Washington about the time of the
Mexican war.
1t is not known definitely whether
the house as it stands now was built
by John Platter or Philip Barton Key.
They were brothers-in-law, and both
of them owned the estate about the
year 1900, when the additions were
made. Francis Scott Key, composer
of ''The Star Spangled Banner" spent
the greater part of his youth there,
and to-day the name of the author of
the famous air can be seen carved on
one of the window panes in the front
hall. Secretary of the Treasury
Robert j. Walker owned the estate
twenty-eight years ago, and from
him it passed into the hands of the
Middleton family.

mercial traveller drove to the ferry
and asked to be set across. He drove
a spirited horse that after much diff
Guilty was placed on board and secured
to the rail running along the deck.
When in the middle of the river
the horse became frightened,
broke his fastenings and jumped
overheard, dragging the wagon
with him. The commercial
traveller, who was standing at
the horses head with his hand on the
bride, was struck by the wagon and
knocked into the water. He couldn't
swim, and he called to Miss Morton
to save him. The brave girl was
overheard in an instant, and being
an accomplished swimmer soon had
hold of the drowning man, and after a
hard struggle got him on board Of
the boat. Meantime the horse was
f1oundering around in the water. AS
soon as the man was on the boat Miss
Morton took rope and swan to the
horse. She fastened the rope around
the animals head and drawing the
horse close to the craft secured the
rope to the rail. In this way she
towed the team ashore.
A few weeks ago she plunged into
the river and saved mans life.

A BOSTON jury has gran ted woman
whose husband divorced her, that
he might marry another woman,
$40, 900 damages. The verdict is di-
rected not against the Grant hus-
to the first wife's place, and the cause
is given as alienation Of the husbands
affections. If this verdict stands in
law ladies marrying divorced men
will be obliged to do so subject to the
claims of sort of chattel mortgage
held by the first wife. All of which
will complicate matters considerably,
but can't be expected to deter a
woman who is bent on marriage.

GIVEN UP BY THE SEA.
A Strange Craft of Many Years Ago Float
ed by Volcanic Upheaval.

ed by Volcanic Upheaval.
The Norwegian bark Elsa Ander-
sen came into port day or two ago
with strengthening vessel in tow,
says dispatch from Galveston, Tex.
This was small brig of English
build, dismasted and in need of re-
pairs, which had been sunk more
than fifty years ago, judging from it's
ancient appearance and awkward rig
ging, so sailors who have looked at it
say.
On the afternoon of Feb. II, off
the coast Of Farce Islands, where the
Elsa Andersen had been blown by a
recent gale, there was violent up
heayal of the sea about two miles
distant from the spot where she was
riding, that sent several waves sweep
ing over her which did much damage
and threatened to submerge her en-
tirely. When the alarm caused by
this sudden sea had subsidized there
was seen about mile off a wreck
which had not been there before the
upheaval of the bottom Of the sea, a
phenomenon corresponding to an
earthquake on land.
The wreck excited much interest
among the officers and passengers Of
the Norwegian vessel, and an order
was issued to approach the strange
craft, when it was seen that the re-
mains Of her rigging, stumps of masts,
and the hull itself were covered by
thousands of sea shells, causing the
wreck to present the appearance Of
the miniature ships of shellwork to be
purchased at any seaside town. The
leaks which had sunk the vessel were
now stopped by an accumulation of
barnacles, and the derelict now rode
the waves like duck
A boat load of sailors was dis
patched to board the wreck, and they
found the hold and the under decks
water tight save for a few feet of
water which, covering the cargo, had
sunk her. But this cargo and the
other contents of the ship were en-
tirely destroyed. In what had evil
IDENTIFY been the captains berth were
found several irOn-bound chests,
which had resisted to some extent
the ravages of time and the sea, but
on being opened the contents were
found to be reduced to a sort Of pulp,
with the exception of a leather bag.
This had become hardened until it
was necessary to break it open with
an ak, when from it poured a quanti-
tyof rusty discs, which, being cleaned,
proved to be golden guneas of the
year 1909, and amounting to the
sum of 81, 005.
There were also several watches of
gold and a stomacher of pearls; these,
however, are valueless, having been
blackened by the action Of the wa
ter. This wreck was attached to the
Elsa Andersen by a cable and towed
to this port, where it is attracting
crowds of visitors.
On the fourth day after it's de-
tachment from the bottom Of the
sea by the quake, the water was all
pumped out of the derelict, when it
was found to contain three skeletons,
two of them men and the other a
womans, this last being of a person
of gigantic build, and in life of near
ly seven feet in height About the
neck of one of the male skele-
tons was chain of gold, to which
was attached a silver crucif1x and evil
IDENTIFY rosary.
