Swimming Cavalry.

Some very interesting exercises in
swimming cavalry took place lately on
the Cabul River at Peshawur. The
Thirteenth ID. C. o. Bengal Lancers
have been practising their horses in a
large tank in their lines and on the
river for some time. One squadron
took cover along the river bank and
kept up a steady fire to protect the
passage of the other squadron, who
placed all their arms. accoutrements
and clothes in large country boats, and
conducted their horses into the water.
Some horses seemed to thoroughly en-
Joy themselves in the water, others be-
came unmanageable from fear. How
ever, the opposite bank WAS reached
and war paint resumed, and the squad
ron was with most creditable rapidity
taking measures to protect their COM

PEARLS or THOUGHT.

Crooked steps are the most apt to be
noticed.
A lost opportunity never finds it's
way back.
Death only changes the surround
ings, not the eternity.
Virtue never stops paying dividends
because the banks break.
Most people believe in the total de-
pravity of somebody else.
Sin may try TO hide its head, but IL
cannot cover up its tracks.
A lie feels easy only when IL forgets
that it mas truth on its track.
Philosophy may keep man from
doing wrong, but IL cannot make him
better.
There is more power IN n compound
blow-pipe than in prairie on fire.

1t is bad moral atmosphere where
vulgarity passes for wit and humor,
aud men are entertained by it.
Taking things as they come isn't
hard; ii is parting with them when
they go that tries our fortitude.
If You love your enemies and do
good to those who despitefully use
you, you are on the right road.
If you are over seventy years old
you are living on an extended note.
II may fall due at any moment.
The wise man is happy when he
gains his own appreciation; the fool
when he gets the applause of others.
A man that does not care what the
people think of him is apt to be the
man the people don't care to think
about.
Every man has opportunities and
talents out OF which n rich harvest
may come, if he will only go at it in
earnest and try to make crop.

Incapable OF Feelinu Pain.

An extraordinary case Of insensibil.
ity to pain occurred a few weeks ago
in California. John Molloy, a rail-
way employe, was run over by train
of thirty-two freight cars. His legs
we're crushed between the knee and
thigh so that they merely hung to hi
body by few ragged fragments of
skin and tendon. He was conscious
when picked up, and remained so until
his death five hours afterward, yet in
all that time he felt no pain what
ever. After an examination it was
determined to amputate the mans
legs, and the surgeon who performed
the operation said, in an elaborate re-
port of the case;
"Molloy did not suffer from the ter
rible accident which resulted in his
death. He told me he felt no pain
from being struck and run over by
the train, and that he did not suffer
thereafter from the effects of tho
frightful shock. When / saw him he
WAS not in any apparent misery,
though his legs were hanging in
mapqled condition and the blood was
fest ebbing from his veins. His
friends qsked whether he was so bad
ly hurt that his legs would be lost,
and he answered them with the Sc
renity of man smoking a cigar in a
rocking chair. He said that a few
strokes of the knife would settle the leg
question with him forever.
81 then proposed to amputate his
legs, And he watched me put the in
struments in the antiseptic bath. He
said he supposed if he didn't feel a
train of cars he wouldn't feel a little
thing like a knife, and on making ex-
animation found that he was still in
sensible to pain. There was, there
fore, no occasion to give him chloro.
form, and 7 amputated his legs while
he watched me. He knew something
was pressing against his legs when the
knife went in, but there was no pain.
He watched the knife 60 through the
muscles and nerves with rs much in
difference as if had been cutting into
a beefsteak. A few hours later he died
from the effects OF the shock.
"There is no theory for the cccea-
tricities Of the case. All We know or
all we can say Is that the peculiar in
to pain he exhibited
in some way arose from the
nervous shock. In some manner the
injury paralyzad the sensory nerves
AMI left the nerves of motion intact,
for he could talk all right and nova
himself readily. Such a case Of frozen
nerves might not occur again in ages.
