HOW ANIMALS eEAR PAIN.
IN HEROIC silence thu Mute Creatures
Submit to Intense suffering

In HEROIC silence tho Mute Creatures
Submit to Intense suffering.
One of the most pathetic Kings is
the way in which animals endure suf-
fering. Take horses, for instance, in
battle. After the first sho ;k of thu
wound they make no sound. They
bear pain with a mite, wondering ed
durance, and if at night You hear q
wild groan from the battlefield it
comes from their loneliness, their loss
of human compromising, which seems
absolutely Indispensable to the com.
fort of domesticatei animals.
The dog will carry broken leg for
days wistfully but accomplishments.
The cat. stricken with a stick or a
stone or caught in som, trap from
which it gnaws its way to fir eedom,
crawls to some secret place and bears
in silence pain which we could
not endure Sheep and other cattle
meet the thrust of the butchers knife
without sound, and even common
poultry endure intense agony without
complaint The dove shot unto death
flies to some far-of bough, and as it
dies the silence is unbroken save by
the patter on the leaves of its own
life blood.
The wounded deer speeds to some
thick brake, and in pitiful submission
waits for death The eagle, struck
in mid-air fights till the last against
the fatal summons. There is no moan
or sound of pain, and the defiant look
never fades from its eyes until the lids
close over them never to uncover

HIS SHOT WAS A BULL,a.EYE.
He Didn't Explain That He Painted the
Target After Firing,


A New York broker, who is well
known Oh the stock exchange Tor his
proclivities as practical joker, made
considerable fun for some of his asso-
ciates. He was sojourning in the
country and dispensing hospitality to
numbers Of his comrades He is rated
among them as particularly bad
marksman. and so it was that when he
took number of them around back OF
the barn and showed them d target
painted on the back Of the barn and
bullet imbedded in the very center of
the bull's-eye, the first inquiry was:
who fred the shot?"
II fired it and from distance of
200 yards. too" was his earnest reply
"Oh! rats! ratsp'
Come off. now"
tYou could not hit the barn at that
distance"
But he persisted in his assertion and
finally suggested that perhaps some OF
his friends would like to bet on it He
got two bets, one for dinner for the
crowd and another for case Of cham
payne. He then brought out two wit
nesses who solemnly declared that
they had seen the shot fred by him
from distance of 200 yards
from rife. The witnesses were
beyond suspicion and the bets were
paid.
During the jubilee that followed the
broker confessed that he had painted
the target on the barn after he had
fired the shot.

was committed in 1880 by u New York

he retired, broken hearted, as soon as he
could close up his large business inter

THE EARTH.s AGE.
Ways In Which, It Is Calculate by Learned
80. SaYants.

The amount of lime salts in water
which drains from districts made UP Of
GRANTEES and basalts is found by COM
parison OF different analyses to be on
an average of about 3.73 parts in l0o,-
600 parts of water. It is further
assured by those who take this mode
OF reckoning the age of the world that
the excess areas of igneous rocks, taken
on an average throughout all geolog-
zeal time, will bear to the exposures Of
sedimentary rocks ratio of one to
nine. From these and other more
complicated data it has been inferred
that the elimination of the calcareous
matter now found in all the sedimen>
tary strata must have been going on
through period of 800, 900, 900 years |!
This, therefore, represents the mini
mum age Of the world. Biologists
also conclude that the formation of
the Laurentian, Cambrian and silurian
strata occupied period of about
you, 10000 years; the red sandstone,
ehe carconiferous and the poecilitic
systems another 200, OOo 900 wears, the
remaining 300, 900, 900 years being taken
VITA the formation of all other strata,>
thus we are led to believe that peo-
logical time has been enormouslv ia
excess OF the limits urged by certain
well-known physicists, and that it has
been ample to allow for all the changes
which, on the hypothesis OF evolution,
nave occurred IN the organic world.

Man Inhaled = Hair Which Killed Him.
Il was q joyous company of young,
middle aged and aged people who con-
gregated at the home Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Samuel Larkin in Susquehanna, Pa.
They met in honor Of the fittieth we'd
ding anniversary Of their host and host
ess, who had passed their allotted three
score years and ten and were still in the
enjoyment Of perfect health.
Several sweet faced, laughing grand
children were present to contribute
their share of sunshine to the occasion.
Little 5-year-old Mary Edwards, with
her bright blue eyes and light ttesses,
was there After kissing het gtahd-
mother affectionately she sprang upon
her grandfather's lap, exclaiming,
Grandpa, / have lots of kisses and a
bear hug for you.
Then the cid man pressed the sweet
face Of his favorite grandchild to his,
fervently refnarking. God bless you,
Mary. No company would be complete
without you. YOU ate the embodiment
of sunshine itself; and trust you will
grow to be noble woman. .
Tell he how much you love me-,
grandpa, said the child, and then
will give you the kisses and the bear
hug"
II cannot tell you how much love
you, child, answered the old man,
"but / can assure you it is big lot.
Then Grandfather Larkin imprinted
kiss after kiss upon the ruby cheeks;
and the child, delighted at the mani
festation of affection, returned the COM
piiment, and then, throwing her little
arms about the old mans neck, gave
the promised "bear hug" She then
crawled down from grandpa g lap and
busted herself for time among others
Of the company. An hour later, and
just before the joyous party were about
to partake Of dinner, the sathe little
Mary approached her grandfather, re-
marking, Grandpa, want to give you
one more kiss before dinner, and then
want you to sit by me at the table,"
The old man smiled and lifted the
little girl In his arms: Two minutes
later he felt tickling sensation in his
throat and realized that in returning
the last kiss hair had caught in his
mouth and been sucked into his wind
pipe.
This Immediately produced hard fits
Of coughing, ard before relief could be
obtained blood vessel was ruptured,
and death resulted instantly.
CONSERVATION reigned for time, and
the aged partner of the unfortunate sep
thagenarian, overcome with grief, fell
in swoon. She rallied an hour later,
but it is thought her great grief will
cause her death in short time. New
