QUEER EFFECTS OF A HURT.
Forty-Five Years of Mans Life Rem
dered a Perfect Blank.


dered a Perfect Blank.
''In the village of Lubec,' says the
Lewiston (Me.) Journal, Elves Glen
Wallis. When he was a boy about
fifteen years of age he went out to
his fathers pasture to catch a risky
colt. AS he was about to place halter
around his neck the colt kicked him in
the head, making ragged wound.
The wound healed, but it soon became
apparent that the man was slightly
demented, and his hallucination took
peculiar forms. He would travel up
and down the bay on the steamboats,,
claiming the proprietorship of the lat
ter and refusing to pay fare. The
steamboat men humored him, as he
was considered daft, and he was the
butt Of the small boys jokes and banter.
He has lived in the village since, and is
now sixty years Of age. About six
weeks ago the local physicians deter
mined to experiment on his case. They
found that portion of his skull had
been forced into contact with the
brain by the blow, and by a skillful
operation removed the pressure.
Strange to say, the man has now re-
covered his reason, and the first ques-
ton he asked when he recovered from
the operation was: Did the colt get
away2' Wallis is perfectly sane now,
but forty-five years of his life are a
perfect blank to him.

Good Words for Japan.

An American who has been practic-
ing law in Toxic for the last seven
years has just returned home to New
York absolutely in love with Japan
and its people. He says the nation de-
serves to win in this war with China,
precisely as civilization deserves to
follow barbarism, and must always fol-
low it, according to the laws Of man.
No one. who is not in direct contact
with the japanese can appreciate the
fervor and indomitable will that AMI
mate every man at this period OF the
country's enlightenment. It seems to
move like an electric current through
each class of the realm, from the high
est to the lowest. This gentleman fur
ther says that thoughtful men in the
center Of this struggle watch the de-
velopment Of the japanese with feel
ing akin to amazement; progress usual
II proceeds with q slow step, but in
the new Japan It goes with leaps that
can be felt and seen.

VITAL. STATISTICS.
The Births and Deaths for One Year In
the State Of Massachusetts.

The Births and Deaths for One Year In
the State of Massachusetts.
From the annual report of births,
deaths and marriages in Massachusetts,
for 1898, which was lately made by DIR.
Francis A. Harris, it appears, says the
Boston Transcript, that the number Of
living births registered in the year
was 67,192, which was 1868 larger
than was reported in 1892, and larger
than any other year since the begin
ming Of registration in Massachusetts,.
The excess of living births over the
number Of deaths was 1S.1O8, being
greater than the excess of any other
year. There were registered 22,814
marriages, being greater than were
registered in any previous year. More
marriages were solemnized IN the
month Of June than in any other
month; II men and / woman were
more than seventy-fve and 4 were
more than eighty years old at the
time of marriage. The number of
deaths was 49,0s4, being 322 more than
the number reported in 1892 ana $500
more than the number reported in
1891. The death rate for the year was
2O.13 per 1000 Of the estimated a.
43s, 1863 population living, which is "A
less than the rate of 1892. The great
est number of deaths occurred in Au-
gust and the third quarter of the year,
and the least in June and the fourth
quarter. In the previous year the
greatest number of deaths occurred in
January.
Six hundred and ten pairs Of twins
were born in the state last year, and
nine sets Of triplets- It is noticeable
that nearly 10000 more children of
foreign than of native parentage were
born in Boston during the year.

MARRY WHEN THEY PLEASE.

Western Indians Take New Wives When
They Get Tired Of tho Old Ones.
Capt. l.. f. Burnett, Seventh cavalry,
acting Indian agent at Mescalero, N.
NJ, in a recent report to Commissioner
Browning sums up an evil which is
found to prevail to a greater or less ex-
tent among all western Indians, and
more especially among those in a saw
age state. He says:
s'Another cause of much trouble on
this reservation is the frequent mar
riages among the Indians. 1t often
happens that man will get tired of his
wife after few months and will then
leave her or send her home to her re1a-
tives. This may occur several times
with the same persons, SO that man
may have three or four wives and the
woman as many husbands all living.
Sometimes the husband illtreats his
wife and she runs away to her parents.
They often make up and live together
again. Several cases have occurred
during the last year where parents
have induced man to marry their girl,
aged perhaps not over thirteen or four
teen years, for the sole purpose Of
keeping her out of school. 1t usually
happens that the parties soon separate,
the girl returning to her parents, often
against the wishes of her husband.
This causes serious quarrels. do all
/ can to induce these persons to live to-
gether when once they are married,
but there is no way of compelling them
to do so. Polygamy is practiced to
some extent. Twelve indians have
each two wives and one has three
wives. -

Clothes for the Emperor.

Though the German emperor employs
Berlin tailors he believes in giving
provincial employment also. In every
agood-sized town there is a court tailor,
who occasionally has the honor of sup
plying the semperor with uniform,
and as his uniforms are as diverse and
numerous as, the stars of the heavens
there is . good business done, especial

ally from his grand father, who had his

SLEEPLEsS NIGHTS.
Scientific Explanation OF the Absence of
Nature'a Reatnrer.

Scientific Explanation OF the Absence Of
Natures Restorer.
Formerly sleep was believed to be de-
pendent on a state Of comparative
bloodlesspess of the brain, and by the
condition Of the circulation of the
blood through that organ the character
and duration of sleep was held to be
modified. The view, says the National
Review, is still regarded as correct by
Psychologists of the present day, but
since physiological chemistry has
thrown more light on the processes
of repair and waste it has been
shown that, In addition to the part
played by the blood circulating
through the brain, inducing wake
fulness or sleep according to the
increase or decrease in the rapidity Of
the circulation and the variation in the
size Of the blood vessels, the actual
chemical condition Of the brain cells
also serves to determine the existence
of sleep and wakefulness.
As the formation of clinkers in
furnace reduces the ferceness of the
flames and interferes with the activity
of combustion, so the accumulation Of
fatigue products within the brain cells,
formed during the waking hours, tends
to induce Inconsistencies by reducing
the activity Of chemical action and in
terchange between the blood, the We
.hicle ofnourishment, and the brain cell
peeding replenishment. !. II.

SOME A,LEseuRY HE,RLooMs.

They Include a Sword Said to Have Been
Owned by robert Bruce.
The statement that the missing
Ailesbury heirlooms have been discov-
cred has, doubtless, been read by many
treasures consist, says the Westminster
Budget. Among the principal curiosi-
ties at Savernake were three ancient
swords, one of which is said to have
belonged to Robert Bruce, king Of
Scotland, an ancestor Of the marquis Of
Ailesbury, whose family name is Bruce
The Scottish arms are repeated six or
eight times on the hilt of this sword.
Another was the sword Of the Black
Douglas, and the hilt, inlaid with sill
yer, bears the cognizance Of the Doug
las. There is also q magnificent hunt
ing-horn formed Of an elephants tusk,
with enameled silver IN cuttings, which
has descended to the Bruce family.
The possession of this horn is said to be
the title under which the waraenship
of Savernake forest is held under a
charter granted by Edward VI. to the
Protector Somerset. The horn is about
two feet long and ffty-three inches in
diameter at the largest end The en-
ameled silver mountings represent in q
series of compartments the figures of a
king, bishop, a huntsrnan or warden
of the forest, with different animals Of
the chase. There is a tradition among
the keepers of Savernal1e forest that
this horn was formerly carried and
sounded by one Of the keepers in his
uniform before tie king when he
passed through the forest. When
George II. was entertained at Saver
make the king, on taking his leave of
the marquis of Ailesbury Of the day,
assured him that he was greatly
pleased with his visit, but that there
had been one omission. ''You have for

England comes here and that horn is

the notice of traveller from the states
when he has got into Canada, to say
nothing of the general dizziness that

the presence of militiamen and police

An Ancient Superstition.

To get rid Of disease by giving It to
somebody else is common among all
primitive races. 1t cannot be said that
in 1894 we are not just as selfish, since
we dump on neighbors the filth of sew
aye. To follow out certain mcanta-
tons, and to fasten the disease to q
plaster, or something or other, was
concluded by the burying of the plas-
ter. Then, if anybody dug it up he
caught the disease and the Ill man was
freed Of his malady. This IS an old
Roman fancy, and is carried ont, ac-
cording to Capt. Bourke, by the Next
can Indians to-day. Il Is probably Of
Spanish origin. III sS

The Man Astride Pneamatlc-Ttred
Wheel Triumphs Over a Horse.

The Man Astffde Pneamat1c-Ftred
Wheel Triumphs Over Horse.
The thoroughbred race horse is be-
ieyed to be the swiftest animal on the
globe. So when the king Of racers, Sal
vator, covered mile on a straight
track at Monmouth park on August %.
1890, in 1:351195-which is still the record
The probably went the distance in less
than it was ever traversed before or
since by a living creature Of any kind
moving unaided over the surface of the
earth. Had anyone at that time predict
ed that within five years a man on a BIZ
cycle would propel himself over the
same distance on a similar or any other
track in faster time than that of the
thoroughbred, he would, says Harper's
Weekly, have been considered some
thing more than merely visionary. At
that time the bicyclist was competing
with the trotting horse, but That he
would ever equal the runner was not
dreamed of even by ultra enthusiasts
And vet this undreamed-of feat has
now been accomplished. Since the ad-
vent of the pneumatic-tire wheel with
ball bearings, records have been fall
ing before the bicycle more rapidly
than before the -notwithstand-
ing the phenomenal advances of the
latter-until Of late several wheelmen
have been going miles below two min
utes, leaving the trotter quite out of
the race. But no bicyclist has come
within striking distance Of the speed
of even an ordinary thoroughbred. nm
til of a sudden professional racing
cyclist, John S. Johnson, the western
wondcr,' took fourteen seconds off the
bicycle record at single clip, and
eclipsed not only some but all thorough
breds by riding mile in 1885 2-5. The
feat was accomplished over a straight
course at Buffalo, n. Y, October "a,
The pacemakers we're four men

Thus for the first time in the worlds
history Il man has propelled himself
a mile purely by muscular exertion
faster than the muscles of any other
living creature ever carried it over
the earth's surface. AS a triumph of
human development, aided by the in
ventions If human ingenuity, over
mere animal development, this achieve
ment is therefore unique and worthy
of record quite apart from it's interest
to the sportsman.

fusillade, under cover Of which the hap
less paymaster was born swiftly away
around the corner of the ranch and car
ried into the bar, where, wild with
anxiety, but faithful to his trust, Mr..
Dawes still guarded the safe. Then
Harvey stepped through the narrow
doorway to the eastern room.
II have to borrow the lamp mo-
ment, Fan, - he whispered. Now, lie
still. We may have to stand siege
awhile until father can reach Us. -
Two minutes more, bending low and
with his last cartridge crammed into the
chamber of his carbine, Feeny turned to
make run for the ranch. Just as he
came speeding in past the westward
wall the wooden shutter was hurled
open, and a strange voice, loud, exult-
ant, strident, burst upon his ear.
Come on, Pasqual! Come
But the rest was lost in the roar Of
Feeny's ready weapon. The rude fa-
cade of adobe blazed red one instant in
the flash of the carbine, and the loud
report went believing out across the
plain. But within the ranch there
went up q vail Of terror and dismay,
for Ramon Morales, shot through the
brain, was stretched lifeless at the foot
Of Moreno and his shuddering wife.
And then Feeny. unscathed, leaped
inside the barroom.
Now for it, men! Drag in those
two drunken brute bastes," he cried,
laying hold Of Mullan's limp carcass.

and this mere crack revealed to the
watchful eyes out upon the plain the
position of the ranch-possibly told
them something more, for in less than
half & minute two horsemen came loom
ing up out of the darkness and canter-
ing fearlessly toward them. Phlegmat-
ic as he was, old P1ummer' s nerves gave
a twitch as, sharp and stern, young
Harvey challenged.
Halt there! Who are you? Halt!

Friends, shouted one voice. Amer

der to halt was obeyed, the trained
horses going almost on their launches

Only us two. We're partners, pros

ra line. For the Lords sake, gentle
men, don't keep US out here. We've
lost every thing we've had-packs, pack

Then, raising his voice, Harvey called:

You're Ill right perhaps, but our
guards have orders to be on the lookout
for Morales and his gang, and you
might get shot by mistake.
