A BULLET In HIS HEART
Farmer William Young Astonishes the
Medical World.

One OF the most remarkable cases known
to the medical fraternity has just been re-
posted from wheelsville, a small village in
Clay county, Ala. 1t is the case OF a man
shot through the heart three weeks ago and
still alive. William Young was fired upon
while he was at work in his field. The ball
from Winchester rifle passed through his
heart. He was treated by local men and then
taken to Mobile, where his case was pro-
nounced one OF the most extraordinary that
ever came under their notice.
Saturday Young was taken to photogra-
pher and photograph OF the front and back
OF the upper portion Of his body made, which
will be used to illustrate the history of this
cose when 1t shall appear in the Medical
Science" journal.

be noon or midnight, breakfast time or

degrees of longitude converge into

HAVE THEIR OWN METHODS.

The Cassowaries Pursue a Plan of Their
Own for Catching Fish.
The methods employed by the casso-
wary in catching fish differ materially
from those of the common fish-hawk
The fish-hawk employs very much the
same methods as the birds of prey,
while the cassowary fishes according to
a method of It's own and uses a good deal
of strategy. A number of wears ago /
was standing near the banl of a river
when / saw cassowary come down to
the waters edge and stand for some
minutes, apparently watching the
water carefully. 1t then stepped into
the river where it was about two feet
deep, and, squatting down, spread its
wings out, submerged them, the feath-
ers being spread and rufied. The bird
remained perfectly motionless and
kept its eye closed, as if in sleep. 1t
remained in this position at least half
an hour, when it suddenly closed it's
wings, and, Strengthening its feathers,
stepped out on the bank. Here it shook
itself several times, whereupon a num-
Der of small fishes fell out of its wings
from amid its feathers, which the bird
Immediately picked up and swallowed.
The fishes had evidently mistaken the
feathers for a kind of weed that grows
along the river bank and which resem-
bles the feathers of the cassowary.
The smaller fishes often seek a hiding
place in these weeds to avoid the larger
ones that prey upon them.

the ground that the whole of his in

How China's Dowager Empress Mitigates
the Force of the Pestilence.

the Force of the Pestiience.
A recent number of the North China
Herald, just received in this city, tells
this story of the Empress Dowager OF
China
"A rather good story is told among
the Chinese about the empress dowa.
ger and the plague. The empress
keeps constantly burning, day and
night, in her palace, eighteen lamps,
which represent the eighteen prov
inces of China. Not long ago one of the
lamps, althoughuit received precisely
the same attention as all the others,
was burning very badly, and the en-
press sent for the chief imperial as
tronomer to learn the reason. The
chief astronomer having carefully con-
sidered the matter and consulted the
archives, told the empress that the
lamp which was burning so badly rep
resented the province of Canton, which
was about to be afflicted with serious
epidemic, in which the god of pesti-
lence had determined to take off eight
tenths Of the people.
THE empress was very much con-
cerned at being told this, and asked the
chief astronomer how such a dreadful
doom might be averted from eight
tenths of her people in the province.
The chief astronomer said that the god
might perhaps be moved by prayer and
offerings, and everything was done to
placate him by the empress dowager's
orders. After this the chief astrono-
mer was asked what success had been
achieved, and, after much considera-
ton and consultation, he replied that
the god of pestilence had consented to
compromise-but this was absolutely
the best he could do-for tour-tenths
human beings and four-tenths rats
Thus the frightful mortality of rats and
human beings at Canton this spring is
explained"

The Prairie Sod House.
From the washingto n Post.

"The sod house of the Kansas and Ne
braska plains is following the buffalo and
antelope into the land of legends, . said
William f. Arbuckle, of Topeka "A
good many of the queer structures are
still standing, and in some instances are
used as human habitRtions, but most OF
them are utilized as stables for horses or
cattle and slowly crumbling way to be-
come indistinguishable in their original
earth. When l first went west years ago
my father took up the acres as far as his
eye could reach in what is now Eastern
Nebraska There was not a tree in sight
of the knoll he had selected as the spot
upon which his residence should be
erected, and the nearest place lumber
could be secured was sixty miles away.
He put up small tent in which to cook
and eat; the family slept in the wagons,
and with my brothers and hired man TO
help, set about making house
The thick sod was cut from the prairie
in slabs about two feet wide by three in
length, and on the side of the knoll, where
an excavation had been made in It's side,
these slabs were placed, one on top of the
other, until the required hight was
reached. 1t was arduous work, and re-
member what lot of excitement there
was when my father and my brother Lem
started of early one morning to go after
the ridge pole and rafters that were to
support the roof. They took only the
running gear of our small wagon and
cried like good fellow when they started
off because thought they had broken up
my pet vehicle.
''They were gone nearly week and
reached home in the middle of one night
after their journey of 100 miles. They
had brought a long, round piece of tim
Der, like slender telegraph pole, with
numerous other smaller pieces, and nv
mother nearly had fit of delight when
they proudly displayed a door and two
window sashes, with bundle of glass for
the latter There was great rejoicing
when that ridge pole was put in place and
the rafters run down from it to rest on
the sod walls, and then came the labori-
Gus task of putting on the sod roof so that
it would keep out the rain and snow.
"At last it was completed and we
moved in. The house had four rooms,
which was unusual for such struc-
lures, and its two windows soon made
it known all over that section of the
west as the Shack with the Glass Eyes ,
There never was a more comfortable
building erected than a sod house They
are not all damp, and one would suppose,
and are as warm as you could desire in
the winter, while in summer thay are the
most delightfully."- cool places imagin able
But they are rapidly disappearing now,
and when you see one you are sure to
find near it modern cottage with it's
windmill just as you do out at our place.
