A Curious Incident,

A gentleman had been staying on a visit
with q certain baronet and when leaving
behaved very literally TO the domestics,
having distributed among them more
than usual amount of money
He was TO proceed on his Journey alone
on horseback, and just as he was putting
his foot In the stirrup to start tho groom
who assisted him and had been sharcr in
his bounty contrived to approach him
closely and whispered, unperceived, this
startling warming in his car:
See if your pistols be loaded as soon as
you are beyond tho domain"
The gentleman, while riding on forth
with did so, and to his astonishment found
that the charges had been withdrawn He
at once reloaded the weapons, placing u
bullet In each. BY nighttime he reached
Workman heath, and on coming upon II
he was stopped by masked and mounted
hlghwayman, who rode up to him fearless
ly and leveled q pistol at his head, init
mating that he must have his money.
The gentleman fired instantly In sell
defense, and his assailant fell dead To
gallop TO the nearest habitation and give
the alarm was the work of few minutes
on the part of the traveller
He returned within an hour with men
and lights to the spot, when, on taking
eiio iihofA iiOii lic ulceulnB corpse OF the
highwnyman, he, to his horror, discovered
him to be no other than the son of the bar
onct whose hospitality he had so recently
been enjoying. This son had, of course,
been one of his friendly and social com.
panions during his stay.
An Inquest was held, when it was found
out that 1t was indeed tho baronet's SOD
gambler ruined by play-who had been
in the habit of waylaying wealthy guests
as they departed from his fathers house. -

Every nran His Own Life Preserver,

Considerable interest has been aroused
by the announcement of an extraordinary
method devised by French doctor where
by every one may become, as he will,
his own life preserver In case of an
accident at SEQ. The inventor does away
with all artificial belts and other floating
appliances. He proposes, in word, to
initiate the cellular texture beneath the
human skin on the breast, which, II filled
with air, forms n natural pneumatic belt,
by the aid of which ono cannot only float
oneself, but even support another body.
Although sounding impracticable, this Is
for from being so. It has proved that q
man Weighing about 100 pounds needs
only about 900 cubic inches Of air within
his body In order to float with his head
above water. This amount Of air is easily
inserted into the hollow space beneath the
skin by means OF an aseptic syringe. Even
simpler Is tho use of hollow needle and
q thin rubber hose Is inches long, into
which this needle is inserted A little
aseptio cotton placed In the open end of
tho rubber hose is all that Is required.
The skin Is simply raised, the hollow
needle introduced into 1t and then the
other end OF the rubber tube Is taken into
the mouth and tho mans own breath
blown into it. Two deep respirations
which are blown into each side of the
breast would prove amply sufficient to
noat q man however heavy.-Cinoinnati

THE BLUEFlSH BRIGADE.
What Happens When the Blues Make a
Charge Upon the Menhaden.

'When menhaden or herring are driv-
en- upon the beach by bluefish, as they
often are, so that they can be carried off
by the CARLOAD" said q fisherman,
there is very seldom found among them
one Of their pursuers, and if one is found
it is likely to be q fish that is diseased
or that has been hurt in some way. The
bluefish follows TO the very verge of the
water, but there it stops, and it is SO
powerful and alert swimmer that,
close as it is, it still easily keeps clear
of the land The menhaden or herring
are no mean swimmers They could
come as close and keep off the shore as
easily as the bluefsh do, but not when
the blueflsh are after them. Then they
are like men pursued TO the edge Of
precipice- 1t is almost certain death to
jump, but they must do that or turn
and take the chances Of breaking
through the pursuing line.
when the bluefsh-there may be
5000 or 4 1000 Of them together--sight
a school Of menhaden, they 90 for it
like brigade Of heavy cavalry, cutting
and slashing, swapping and biting,
right and left The menhaden are sim.
ply overcome by superior weight, and
there is nothing for them to do but flee.
If they are driven toward the shore, the
land Is to them what the precipice
would be to the man. They must take
it or they must turn and try to fght
their way through. Many do turn and
try to swim under or over or around
the savage bluefish, and some escape in
this way. and some are snapped up and
some are MANNED and then cast ashore,
and many Of them, crowding together,
are SO closely pressed that they are prac-
tically forced ashore
Sometimes fish that are not cast up
very far flop down into the water again.
A high wave may set some free. A fish
thus liberated may find its fins so dam
aged that it can't swim, and it is cast
up again. Weakened by its rough expe-
rience, it may fall prey to some of the
bluefish yet lingering off shore. 1t may
escape New York Sun.
