Powell's nerves had, somehow, been
seriously affected, Expert medical ad-
vice was taken, and a good deal OF
money was spent by Powell in seaching
for a cure, but to no purpose. The
strange power grew upon him, and fin
ally became so strong that the cattle
shrank from his touch
Finally Mrs. Powell was induced to
return to her husbands house. but the
two occupied separate apartments.
They lived in this way three years,
then Powell left, and took up his resi-
dence in a house that he built in Part

The man suffers a great deal of pain
Just before a thunder storm. He is a
sort of human barometer, and during
the haying season the farmers consult
the man regarding the weather proba-
bilities. His representations are sell
dom incorrect, and the visits of his
neighbOrs in The summer season be-
came so annoying TO him that he adopt
ed the plan of pasting weather bull
letins on tree near the road so that
the farmers could get an idea what
the weather was going to be without
disturbing him.
During the times that Powell suffers
from pain, medicine has no effect upon
him. The most powerful sedative adj
ministered to him is as so much water.
The only relief he gets is by laying his
hands on cats. and he has surrounded
himself with these animals that appear
to be warmly attached to him. When
he feels a spell of suffering coming on

A HUMAN BATTERY.
The Strange Case of n Connecticu,
Hermit.

For thirty-five years Oswel Powell
has lived the life Of a hermit in the
woods six miles north of Hatlvme
Conn, in a locality known as Partridge
Run The mans seclusion was forced
upon him by a circumstance which
happened to him when ne was about
IS years old. At that time Powell was
a prosperous and happy young farmer.
He had been two years married and
his domestic relations were extremely
pleasant.
While attending the county fair one
day he came across a friend who was
anxious to test his ability to hold cleo
tricity, and the two sought a battery
that was doing a heavy business in the
iakirs' corner of the fair grounds.
The men tried the machine and a
good-natured dispute as to who was
the best man arose between them.
PoWell'S friend claimed that he could
hold the most electricity, and he started
IN to prove it. He sent the needle
around the dial to the $50 mark. Pow
ell pulled off his coat and ciutched the
handles. The operator sent a stream
Of electricity into him that took the
crook out of his elbows and caused
him to stand ON tiptoe. till PoxralI
called for mere, and got it. The needle
swung around eighty points. and yef
Powell howled for more The CHARGE
was sent into him and. leaping into the
air, he came down fat on his back
He had put the needle up to the 410
mark, but nearly killed himself in
doing it. He was dazed for several
hours, but finally came out of it appar-
emily all right.
In less than six months after this
experience there was trouble in the
Powell house. Mrs. Powell left her
husband and refused to live with him
any longer. She said that he was kind
80 her. but there was something about
the man that repealed her, and the
strange power, whatever it was, SEEM
ed to be growing on him.
Powell told his father-in-law that he
hadn't felt like himself since the day
that he tried his hand at the electric
machine. He said that he couldn't
blame his wife, and he made no effort
to reclaim her. 1t was evident that

Among the curiosoties of the day that
do not manage to get themselves to any
extent before the public eye are the writ
ten references given to servants, and,
more often, the alleged references that
the servants themselves prepare in their
own behalf. Among the latter this very
amusing Character was presented to a
would-be employer of a cook in London
Some ten or more years ago. 1t is a YER

During the st Louis engagement Miss

second act a carriage was driven I'D TO

Loss of Life on Railways.

The relative safety of railroad travel
in England and in this country is often
discussed to the disadvantage of this
country, but the wide difference in con-
ditions is not often taken into account.
Statistics show that about five and one
half times as many people are killed in
this country as in England, on the
same basis of comparison, but other
statistics are ignored.
To fairly compare the two countries
it should also be considered that in En-
gland 81 per cent. of the roads are
double-tracked, while the proportion in
this country is only 51a per cent. Be
sides, in England nearly 80 per cent. of
the railroad mileage is protected by
is so protected in this country. On
lines here that have these advantages,
the percentage Of fatalities is quite as
low as in England.-Boston Herald.

Provo, Jan. 19.-[Special l--At 2:45
O'Clock this morning the fire alarm was
sounded and in short time the vol
unteer boys were hurrying rapidly to
the burning residence of William En-
ders, between First and Second streets
an A street The house had been burn
ing for some time before it was discov-
cred and by the time aid arrived the
whole interior was destroyed and short
iy after the roof caved in.
The residence is situated at the ex-
trame southwest of town, about f1f-
teen blocks from the fire department
and beyond the water mains. It requir-
ed LOO feet Of hose to convey the wa
ter to the burning structure. By the
time the fire was under control all
that remained of the house was the
brick walls. None of the family were
at home and it is unknown how the
fire originated
The building was insured in the Con-
tinental company for S1,50G.
The fire ladies had just returned
from Springville, where they had been
giving party and when the alarm
sounded they were retiring after their
nights enjoyment, and this morning it
is said by many of the on lockers, that
the scene was enlivened by brilliant
speeches and impassionate invocations
when the time arrived to take UP the
400 yards of frozen hose, but the boys
deny all knowledge Of it.

THE MAIDEN AND THE GORILLA.
e Striking and RepuIsive Work OF
Art by a French Sculptor.

= Striking and RepuIsfve Work of
Art by French Sculptor.
Fremiet's sculpture of a gorilla carry
ing off a maiden is world famous. Even
the marble is sufficiently horrible. The
ferocity of the huge beast and the
deadly terror his victim contribute to
make it repulsive. Yet the lover of art
can not but admire the sculpture, while
he feels thrill of disgust.
There was published not long ago
In German art magazine a story
about this bit of sculpture. The story
was true and the names of the people
were given. The story ran thus: "a
friend OF Fremiet'S was engaged to
marrY-af beautiful girl who lived in
Munich, but the girl was poor and her
parents sought a richer husband for
her. While her lover was absent his
sweetheart, perforce, was married to a
very vulgar and ugly but immensely
rich banker. When the discarded sutton
learned that, wild with anger and
Jealousy, he modelled in wax a, group
that showed to the life the abduction
of beautiful girl by a gorilla
1t was more lifelike than Fremiet' S
marble, for the girls features were the
features of the bankers bride. That
group was placed on exhibition in this
