A BAD COMBINATION:
Tho Tenderfoot and tho Burro Don't Go
Well Together.

Tho Tenderfoot and tho Burro Don't Go
Well Together.
An amusing incident concerning how
burros are guided occurred some time
ago when 'tenderfoot" from the east
was induced to mount an animal noted
for his unruliness. The stranger had
never seen burro before, and supposed
he could ride the insignihcant-looking
ssheep," a little larger than q New
foundland dog, with ease. The burro's
grotesque appearance was heightened
by the addition Of Mexican saddle.
This curious attachment was made OF
two wooden crotches that looked like
wishbones, and were fastened on each
side by cross bars at the lower extrem-
tiles. The whole was then covered
with rawhide, which had been
stretched over the sticks when green
and allowed to dry. The shrinkage
made it perfectly solid. Instead OF a
blanket, sheepskin was thrown over
the burro's back for the saddle to rest
upon.
The 'tenderfoot" clambered upon the
strengthening craft, when, to his as
tonishment and alarm, the tricky ami
NAL started off at a lively pace with his
head down, moving in a narrow circle.
The stranger had no bride nor halter
nor even rope to guide his Rosinante,
and was still further disconnected by
the yells of derisive laughter that came
from the crowd assembled to witness
the sport. The animal veered so rapidly
that the rider could not get off without
losing his balance, and at the same
time he had all he could do to stick to
the saddle. Besides, he did not wish
to display his lack Of horsemanship,
and so he stayed on. Finally the burro
took another tack, and started at a
numbering "lope" down o neighboring
hill, one ear high in air and the other
Topping like loose sail. At the bottom
of the hill the runaway dashed through
a creek deep enough to wet the rider,
and did not stop until far up the side Of
an incline. Here the rider luckily re-
membered hearing burro driver say
"Cheel" to his animal: and although the
former did not know what it meant, he
yelled "Chee!" at the top of his voice.
The burro stopped as suddenly as if he
had been struck by maui. BY dig
ging him in the ribs with his heels the
''tenderfoot" managed to get him
started again, and, by the use OF his
newly acquired vocabulary of one word
of burro language and sundry cuffs
over the ears, he finally guided him
back to the starting point.-Demorest's
Magazine.

DEATH BY FIRE.
Evidence Which Indicates that Victims
Lose All Sense OF Feeling.

A little girl four or five years old in
the farm district of the state of Illinois
had her clothes set on fire while stand
ing near cool1-stove, which was out
of doors near the kitchen. The mother
had gone for bucket of water few
rods away. The screams OF her child
fastened the mothers steps, and the
burning clothes were at once extin-
guished.
Twas Immediately called to visit the
unfortunate. Thinking she must be
in terrible suffering, all reasonable
haste was made. Nearing the house, I
listened to hear the cries of the child,
but heard nothing.
To my great surprise. on arriving at
the bedside of the patient, she was
found lying quietly in bed, without the
least sign of physical suffering. The
burned surfaces had been covered over
with wheat flour. But it is doubtful
if this has or had any effect whatever.
The pulse was beating over one hum
dred and twenty a minute. This in
dicated profound shock upon the
vitality. The accident occurred about
five o'clock in windy October after
noon, and the poor child died at eleven
o'clock that night and gave NO more
evidence of pain.
Here was an instructive case. The
length of time of actual suffering of
the child, as stated by the mother
that it ceased crying as soon us the
10 ,,,oro ovti pru;cbnd-oou1d NOT;
have been over one or two minutes.
say, three minutes at the most. The
girls hands, arms, face, breast and
other places were burned and blis-
tered, so the cuticle of the skin peeled
off. Here death followed six hours
after the accident. Hence the absorb
ing question of interest is, How long
did the agony of burning last9 Not
how long she lasted after the pain
ceased.
Now, why did not the child make an
outcry of pain after the flames were
extinguished. There is but one rea-
son. It is this: The extensive burn
ing destroyed great deal of surface
or skin integument. From this there
followed q profound shock to vitality,
which overpowered the sensorium.
Then all sensation was benumbed.
She died in this shock OF paralyzed SEN
sation.
The brain is the great center OF nerve
sensation. The skin is the great sur
face of sensitive nerve expansion.
Therefore, it is my conviction that
when the great skin surface of nerve
expansion had been destroyed, the re-
sulting shock overpowered the brain
sensorium and obliterated further
sense Of feeling. That if she had con-
tinued to burn in the flames for time
longer she would have suffered no
more pain. The disabled skin surface
and the disabled brain sensorium were
now functionless and we'll nigh dead.
Hence it is an immense relief to be-
lieve and know that those unfortunates
in flames, whether by accident or at
the stake, suffered less and not so long
as we had supposed. Their agony OF
pain, bad as it must be, continued but
one or two minutes. OF course, slow
fire would extend the time and pro.
long the agony.-Progressive Thinker

A Monument of Bismarck.

Among the presents given to Bis
marck on his birthday was a model
of the monument that the students
of the German universities are to
erect to him in memory of his STU
dent days. The monument is to
stand on the Rudelsberg in Thurin-
gia, and represents Bismarck as a
young student seated in an arm
chair, with crossed legs, the ribbon
of his corps across his shoulders, his
corps cap on his head and his stu
dent sword in his hand. Behind him
sits his dog, and on the pedestal
are grouped the most important en-
blems of German student life, the
beer barrel, pipes, tankards and
swords, with a few books.
