Russian Sentinel.

nOSSldn o0ECIn9l.
The sternest ideal of military duty
'is fulfilled by the Russian soldier. An
illustration is given by the author of
"a Journey to Mount Ararat." On
leaving an Armenian village the writer
passed q beautiful green valley, water.
ed by q river that flowed between
strong embankment.
His armenian servant told him that
in April, 1887, after q great storm,
the river rose in such flood that the
persons living near the bank fled for
their lives.
There was a powder.magazine near
the river. The sentinel who was guard
ing it prepared to retreat, but the Of
ficers who waswatching the scenef from
mountain forbade him to leave his
post. For an hour the poor fellow
struggled against the rising waters,
clinging desperately to the lock of the
magazine door.
The water rose to his chin, and
when he was literally within an inch
of death the flood ceased. He was
decorated by the government with the
ribbon of some honorary order in rec
ognition OF his heroic obedience.

The Ribs Of Gorilla and or man.

Describing the particular pr ocesses of
the gorilla as compared with those OF
man. Prof Struthers said, in the
British Association, that in the goril-
Ia the chest WAS planted q vertebra
lower than in man. The seventh
presented all the characters of the
normal sixth, the eighth all the char
acters OF the savs3th. In man he had
seen the whole chest a vertebra too
high. He had :net with three cases of
a rib more than usual. 1t was COM
mon enough in the human body; in
stead of the ordinary tw:lve, you had
one more at the neck much more COM
monty than below. In the case of
three out of fourteen goriilas, the
extra rib was the lower part Of the
chest. The gorilla had one more rib
than man, bnt he had never met with
the cervical rib in the gorilla in the
upper part of the chest. The tend
ency in the human chest was to move
downward. President Archibald
Geikie said that in man the last rib
was a diminishing element, tnat moth
ing was more striking than the ex-
cessive variations in the length OF it.
Every organ in the body has mar
velous power of persistency, but it
seemed as if the last rib was passing
out OF existence.-From the Popular
Science Monthly.

The first telephone that was ever

The first telephone that was ever
used was not electrical, nor was it a
scientific instrument in any sense OF
the term. A little more than fifty
years ago the employees OF large
mandatory beguiled their leisure
hours by kite-hying. Kites large and
small went up daily, and the strife
was to see who could get the largest.
The twine which held them was the
thread spun and twisted by the ladies
of the village. One day to the tail
of the largest kite was attached kit
ten sewed in a canvas bag, with net
ting over the mouth to give it air.
When the kite was at its greatest
height, 200 feet or more, the mewing
could be distinctly heard by those
holding the string. TO the clearness
of the atmosphere was attributed the
hearing of the Kittens voice. This is
the first account we remember of
speaking along line.

EQUAL TO THE EMERGENCY,
How Midshipman's Wit Got Him
Out ofSerious Trouble.

How a Midshipman's Wit Got Him
Out ofSerious Trouble.
On board of a man-of-war bound
home from China was a Young mid
shipman named Jones. He was a
favOlite with the officers and had in
him the talent for the making of a
fine officer
The midshipmen on board stood their
watch forward, and every hour it was
their duty to come aft and write up the
weather columns of the ships log,
showing the readings of the barometer,
thermometer and to heave the chip
log for her speed.
The captain, in company with the Of
ficer Of the deck, was walking the
weather side of the poop deck convers-
ing when Midshipman Jones came aft
to write up the log.
The barometer, Il mercurial one,
was hung in the captains cabin, and
Jones, after having read it, helped
himself literally to the captains sherry
on the cabin sideboard. In walking
the poop the captain happened to
glance down the cabin Skylight and
saw the midshipman's proceedings.
When Jones came up on the poop to
heave the log the captain addressed
him as follows:
'How is the barometer, sir?''
Jones saluted and said, steadily ris-
ing, sir; steadily rising"
The captain then asked, "And how
is the decanter, sir?"
Jones was taken aback, but with a
steady voice replied, steadily falling,
sir; steadily falling, SIR"
This reply was too much for the cap
tain, and, bursting out laughing, lie
said:
Young man, your reply has saved
you from punishment; but it is a long
way to Frisco, so hereafter I beg Of
you not to consult the decanter as
often as you do the barometer.-Detroit

Terrible Case Of Youthful Depvav-

Courts-Rivals of the
Famous Bender
Family.
Ripe for the Rope.


Denver, Col, Special, FeD. 2s.-The
court to-day, consisting of little Anton
murder of Joseph Smith Nov. 2 last,
brought out some sensational testimony.
which, if true. the Woode family will
become as notorious for numbering trav-
elers as the Benders of Kansas. The
young boy Anton, who is not yet eleven
years old, is charged with the murder,
Maggie, are charged as accessories.
Aleck Baker, the principal witness for
the prosecution, testified to-day how the
murdered man and himself went out for
hunt in the hills. when little tow
headed Woode, with an old gun on his
shoulder. accosted him and asked if he
the negative, he felt the chain on his
vest and asked Baker what time it was,
but when he told the boy he did not carry
a watch, the latter looked disgusted and
said, you've got nothing, have you!"
Then Joe Smith came up and the boy
asked him what time it was. Joe pulled
out gold watch. and the boy eyed it
sharply. He then coaxed Smith up a
gulch, telling him there were lots of
rabbits up there. II separated from
them,' said the witness, "but towards
dark l went in seach of them; but as l
was afraid I would lose the trail l re-
turned and met a rancher named Shock.
1 described the boy to him and asked
him if he knew where he lived. He
said he did, but they were dangerous
people, and told me the story of how the
boy stole his watch and tried to shoot
him when he went after it. The next
day we searched for Joe Smith and
found his body on the side of a hill,
lying flat on his back. His arms and
legs were stretched out to their fullest
length ard his eyes were wide open.
He was shot in the back and robbed
of his jewelry. We suspected the boy
and found him concealed. in the house.
When / asked him why he killed Smith
he said: 81 wanted to get that ere
watch and gum I asked him what he
was going to do with the body, if he
was going to let the coy otes carry it
away. He said. ''No; 1 and pap and ma
will dig a grave under the shock and
chuck it in with the rest of the stiffs." J"
He said he was going out after it on a
horse and tie a rope around it and haul
it in just as he saw us coming up. His
pap told him to hide as the officers were
coming up"
Several officers left tonight to examine
the premises of the Woodes. There re-
turn is anxiously awaited, as several
travellers have been known to go in that
direction and have never returned.

Harsh Measures in a Whig Club.
"Brooks'," as is we'll known, is
he club that those expiring political
dudos, the Wings, frequent, and
strange, in truth, are the manners, of
these dudos in their nest. A member
it would seem, had neglected to pay
for his dinners and lighter refresh
ments. On this the committee posted
a notice, announcing to all and sun
dry that club servants had been in
structed not to serve Mr.--with
food or drink until he had paid up
for what he had already consumed.
That Wings should object to pay for
each others refreshments is like them;
but / never yet heard one of them who
objected to taxpayers paying for his
board and lodging. I would suggest
that asomewhat similar notice should
be placed on the doors OF all public
offices, making it known that no
Wing will henceforth find a haven OF
salaried rest unless he can first
show that he has done something to
merit it beyond doing the world the
honor to come into it as q scion OF
one OF our governing families.

Newest Wraps Have Sleeves.

The newest wraps are made with
sleeves. Those made without are
found to have disadvantages, mas
much that when woman stepped
from her carriage she was obliged to
use her hands. and the circular cloak
seized that opportunity to fly open
and admit the breeze which blows at
times icily enough in this season to
make the intrusion unwelcome and
injurious. These sleeves have to be of
the most capacious description, and
the armholes have to be cut unusual
ly large, so that the sleeves within are
not crumpled or damaged.
