A SINGULAR FACT.
The Sense of Feeling Deadened in Crit
zeal Moments.

The Sense of Feeling Deadened in Crit
ical Moments.
1t is comforting to know that in eX-
IRENE cases of bodily harm men suffer
much less than is commonly supposed.
Rustem Pasha, Turkish ambassador in
London, was once attacked by a
bear, which tore off part of his
hand and part of his arm and
shoulder. He affirmed afterward that
he felt no sense of fear Or pain.
What occupied his mind was a feeling
of anger because the bear grunted
with so much satisfaction while thus
engaged"
Sir Edward Bradford, an Indian Off
Ger, bears similar testimony. He was
seized by tiger, which held him with
one paw, and then deliberately de-
voured the whole of his arm, beginning
at the hand and ending at the shoulder.
He believes he felt little pain. when
the fangs went through his hand, but
feels certain that he felt none when
the tiger was munching his arm.
The author of among Men and
Horses, from whose book the forego-
ing facts have been gathered, relates
an experience of his own, bearing upon
the same point.
He was walking unarmed through an
Indian jungle, when tiger sprang up
almost at his feet. For probably two
seconds, which seemed as many years, y
says Mr.. Hayes, che raced round me,
while I stood stock still, wondering
why could not put out my hand and
catch him by the tail. That was the
only thought that occupied my mind
during those eventful moments, until,
with bound and a growl, the tiger
disappeared into the thick underbrush. q

Clubs Made of Gutta Percha.

French footpads have adopted new
weapon with which to assault travellers
at night. 1t is hollow gutta percha
cudgel, and has the advantage over the
old-time sandbag and loaded stick of
inAicting fully as stunning blow with
out producing any visible wound. 1t is
with difficulty that the belated wan
derer who has been robbed in some by
street of Paris can persuade the authori-
ties that his tale is a true one, being
able to show no evidence of having been
struck. An entire gang was captured
in Paris short time ago who were
using these weapons.

charge of ohstructing the streets, con-

principle involved in the dispute be-

breadth of shoulder, thin, sinewy and
active, with pluck equal to every emer-

which found occasion for mirthfulness
in every situation of life and had given
him his beatific name among his Eel,
lows. l first met him at the Horse
Creek ranch, where one night late in
autumn he stopped with his fell TVS.
They had come up from the south With
herd of beef cattle which were put
into one of the corrals over night while
their cavalcade was turned out into the
horse pasture.
Happy Jack was up next morning
earliest of all, and, while the rest OF
the boys were going to breakfast, he
had saddled his gray horse, vicious
creature, as 'spready' and as active as
his master and having led it to the
front CT the ranch house was about t.
mount. The morning was cold and
frosty, and Jack wore over his regula-
ton cowboy equipment an old army

"'Think he'll buck this morning,
JACKIE said one of the cowboys from the
veranda.
"'Well, Jack drawled, I reckon he'll
do about as he's a mind to, and he's

who, with the cape of the old soldiers

Lutte uncOncerp as to what performance

bucking was useless and wearisome
and Happy Jack was soon down in the
pasture rounding up the horses. He
had got them together and driven
them back to the ranch building before
the other boys had eaten their break
fast: That was the kind of worker
Happy Jack was.
Everything that Happy Jack did Oh
said was done laughingly. He carried
no revolver, but as he adjusted his
saddle equipments before starting
away from the ranch I saw that among
the things carefully slowed away in his
cantinas or saddle bags, was a long
knife with a shining blade a foot long

Happy Jack was a philosopher who

BUTTER FROM WHEY.
1t Is Nothing More Than Mixture of Fat
and Caseine.

1t Is Nothing More Than a Mixture of Fat
and Caseine.
Can butter be made from whey, and,
if so, how?" asks subscriber. Some
thing that is called butter has been
made from whey, but it is a mixture of
fat and caseine. Besides, it is a good
deal of work for small product. The
following is the method: After sep
arating the whey from the curd place
it in tin vat and add liquid acid, the
vat with copper bottom and tin sides,
about - feet long, feet wide and 20
inches deep, or about these proper
tions; set over brick arch; one gallon
to the whey of fifty gallons of milk, if
the whey is sweet, but less quantity if
changed. Then bring it to heat of 21O
degrees. When the cream rises and is
SKINNED off and placed in cool place
let it stand till next day. Then churn
at temperature of Sc to 6s degrees, de-
pending on the weather; work and salt
as usual. 1t will produce about one
pound of butter from the whey of $50
pounds of milk. The acid is made by
taking any quantity of whey at boiling
heat after the cream is extracted, add
ing one gallon of strictly sour whey,
when all the caseine remaining in the
whey is collected together in one mass
and is SKINNED off. After the whey is
allowed to stand from twenty four to
forty-eight hours it is ready for use as
acid. This process is repeated as often
as necessity requires. Farmers Voice.

A BLAZING HOME.
The Inmates Awakened by
Flame and Smoke.
Residence of Dan H. GoOdin De-
stroyed With All Its Con-
tents Last Night.

The residence of Dan II. Goodin, five
blocks north of Five Points, was de-
stroyed by five last night. Mr.. Goodin
and his family escaped from the burn
ing building with great difficulty and
succeeded in saving only few chairs,
and such articles of clothing as they
could pick up in their flight.
The fire broke out shortly before 10
O'Clock, after the family had retired.
All were asleep and were awakened by
sitting smoke and roaring flames. Al
ter leaving the building Mr.. Goodin re-
mem bered his 11-year-old daughter who
was sleeping up stairs. He ran back
through the flames and having passed
the blazing stairway found her bed
empty. She had escaped from win
dow. On his. return he was severely
burned about the face.
An alarm was sent in and the city
fire department responded promptly
but the distance was 30 great that be-
fore even the hook and ladder company
reached the place nothing was left of the
building but the tottering chimney and
a part of the blazing framework.
The origin of the fire is not known.
The house was handsome cottage cost
ing about $1,000. The furniture was
worth half as much. There was $500
insurance on all. A small amount Of
money was also burned up. Mr.. Good

EMMA Games.
Another Of Americas Great Singers
and OPERATE Stars.
In Perfect Health at the End Of
Verv Hard Season.
Her Confession of the Secret

Among all of Americas famous
and charming songsters, who year
after year fit gayly across the opera
tic armament, there is none who has
perhaps larger following or more
devoted and enthusiastic admirers
than Emma Eames.
Her appearance in New York,
Boston and elsewhere, in company
with other operate stars, is invari-
ably the signal for the uprising OF a
train OF worshipping adherence, who
are drawn to her and held captive by
the overpowering influence of her
genius, just as surely as moths are
drawn to a lighted taper. Any one
who has ever had the pleasure Of
hearing her sing-and who has not
can never forget it. Her Voice is
indeed voice from heaven, and the
ecstatic thrill which passes over an
audience when she sings is truly in
describable.
Last season, according to her own
confession, was the hardest and most
trying since her entrance to the opcr-
attic profession. Toward the close of
the season the prima donna was in
rather poor health, and, as she says,
were it not for using JOHANN
HOFF'S MALT EXTRACT, she
was in fair way of becoming seri-
ously i'll.
In acquainting her friends of this
fact Miss Eames writes as follows:
81 feel that | owe to the GENUINE
JOHANN HOFFS MALT EX-
TRACT in a great measure the fact
that, at the end of very hard sea-
son. am in better voice and general
health than at the beginning. have
