A PnInless Man.

Physicians have made a remarkable
test Of Thomas Vreeland, an inmate OF
the City Hospital for Incurables in New
York City. The man is apparently in
sensible to all feeling Of pain. The
doctors jabbed knives into the most
sensitive parts of Vreelands body and
jammed their fingers into his eyes.
II had real good time" said he to a
reporter, "and the doctors treated me
first-class. | am the only painless man
in the world, | can hold red-hot Goals
in my hands with no other harm to my
self except that they make the flesh
burn"
One doctor drew long pin from the
lapel of his waistcoat and stuck 1t re-
peatedly into the legs and arms Of the
old man, as though he had been a pin
cushion. The patient smiled.
The doctors were unable to explain
the trouble satisfactorily.
DR.. Culver, the mans physician, says
that many Of the eminent specialists
who examined Vreeland were at first
disposed to believe that he was sham
ming and placed the ends of their flng-
ers into the corners Of his eyes with tho
intention of causing pain SO excruclat-
ing that it could not be borne. When
Mr.. Vreeland smiled they were con-
WINGED that he was the only individual
In the world to whom pain in any form
Is an imposslbility.
IF you hit him in the head with a
brickbat," said the doctor, you might
kill him, but you could not hurt him a
bit"
The mans appetite is good, and the
senses Of smell and hearing are in no
way affected. He may live for years.

Elopod with rhroO Women.


The arrest of Adolphus Snowden,
near Folkston, Ca, is the sequel to a
remarkable elopement. Two weeks ago
Snowden eloped from Inverness, Fla,
with Mrs. Mary Burelson, Mrs Sallle
Snowden and Mrs. Alice Snowden, the
latter being the lotharios sisters-in-
law. Snowden Is 10 years old and in
significant looking, while the women
are aged about 80 and handsome. Each
Of the women, besides a husband, left
several children and a comfortable
home. The clippers were located near
Folkston, Ca, where Snowden was liv-
ing with the women. One Of the women
he represented as his wife, another as
his sister and the third as his aunt. The
deserted husbands went to Folkston
and procured Snowden's arrest. While
the women were in the boys presence
they were completely dominated by
him, but when the officers removed
him they broke down, and, weeping,
begged their husbands TO take them
back. They claimed Snowden exer-
cised some strange power over them
which they were powerless to resist,
and said he compelled them against
their Wills to flee with him Snow
den's physicians here says the boy is
an unconscious hypnotist, and by his
power led the women away. The hus-
bands have not decided what to do
with their erring wives.

Touching for Ikinr,s EVIL.

"The duke Of Monmouth was passing
through Hinton park, the seat OF Ear.
Poulett, when one Elizabeth Parcot
made a rush at the duke and touched
his hand. She suffered from the kings
evil, had received no benefit from ply
sicians, nor even from a seventh son
to reach whom she had Travelled ten
miles. After touching the duke all the
wounds were healed in two days! A
handful in folio was circulated, set
ting forth the marvellous cure, and q
document signed by Henry Clarke, min
lister OF Crewkcrne, two captains, cler-
gyman and four others lay for some
time at the Amsterdam coffee house
Bartholomew lane, London. The few
that doubted Monmouth's legitimacy
doubted no more.
ut is a curious episode as the power
was always supposed to lie with an
anointed sovereign since the days oil
the confessor. Charles II in twenty
two years touched 92,1O7 persons. Wise

we'll tried but it failed in his haAd."-

MILITARY PuNIsAMENrs.
they Were Terrible TOrturos In Oldou
Times.

Times.
The military punishments of that
day were terrible, says Chambers
Journal. The duke Of Cumberland's
general orders contain on three con-
secutive days sentences of 800, 800 and
300 lashes for thleving, "mutinous ex-
pressions," and "insolent behavior"
Three days afterward a sentence Of
1000 lashes" is recorded; it is fair to
say the man deserved to die; but death
woula nave been merciful punish
ment. A martinez of that day might be
and was a terrible tyrant to his men.
Strange, out-of-the-way punishments
were inflicted for tri1ing offenses, with
out adding one iota to the efficiency Of
the army. Tie soldier might either be
"picketed" or made to ride the wooden
horse" In "picketing," the culprit's
naked heel rested on sharpened stake
driven into the ground, his right wrist
and right leg being drawn up as high
as they could be to a hook fixed in an
adjoining post. The whole weight of
the body rested on the sharpened stake,
which though it did not break the skin,
inflicted exquisite torture; the only al
deviation was to rest the weight on the
wrist, the pain of which soon became
uncomfortable. Soldiers were frequently
sentenced to stand on the picket" for
quarter Of an hour, and in the cavalry
1t was often inflicted by order Of the
colonel without authority Of court-mar-
tial. The back Of the horse" was
formed Of planks so arranged as to
form a sharp ridge eight or nine feet
long. The legs (six or seven feet in
length rested on a stand moving upon
wheels; to complete the resemblance a
rough wooden head and tail were
added. The offender was placed on the
back with his hands tied behind him,
and TO increase the punishment, heavy
musket was not infrequently tied to his
legs. This punishment, which might be
inflicted by sentence OF court-martial,
or by order of the colonel Of a regiment,
wrought so much injury to those sub
jccted to its discipline, that it had to
BIO discontinued. Francis Crosse tells US
that, so late as 1760, the remains of
wooden horse were standing on the
parade at Portsmouth.

A Shower of Black Bugs.

The vicinity Of Doolittle's Mill, south
Of Eckerty, Ind, has been treated to a
shower of black bugs of a species never
seen before. The shower covered an
area Of nearly two miles square. 1t
occurred between midnight and o'clock
in the morning and was preceded by a
humming, buzzing noise, likened by the
people to the whirr common to that
made by pigeons when they used to
visit these forests in dense flocks.
Many thought Of an approaching hur-
ricane and the frightened people left
their beds in terror. The moon was
shining in her full glory, but a dense
black cloud approached from the south,
which soon proved to be living mass
of bugs, which, when they fell, covered
the ground to depth Of from one to
two inches. The people are fearful that
the pest will destroy the young wheat,
which is just appearing above the
ground, but fortunately the territory
covered is small.
Prof. Hazen Sturms, Of Eckerty, who
has had much experience in South
America and Africa, where he spent
years studying botany and prospecting,
examined the bug and AYERS that the
species is common to the equatorial eli
mate and cannot withstand cold. He
claims, too, to have seen the same bug
trained" every day for half a year.
The bug is about the size of June bug
and is very rough and black, with long
pointed gauzy wings. Prof. Sturms pro-
nounces it harmless, otherwise than to
tender foliage.

Man Turning to a Monkey.

A medical case Of the greatest inter-
est was presented to a clinic at the New
York College Of Dentistry recently
when DR.. +. d. Weise, one of the med
ical staff, introduced John M. Molanski,
who is suffering from what is known in
medical science as acromygalia. 1t is
regarded as one of the rarest and most
mysterious diseases to which human
kind is subject. Medical authorities diff
fer as to the exact nature of the dis
ease, some believing that it is not
really disease, but a form of physical
atavism, or a tendency to the original
species or a reversion to the primitive
type of man. Molanski is undergoing
a bodily metamorphosis. His face is
gradually being transformed from its
normal appearance into strong animal
type, with protruding under jaw and
overhanging brows, which heavy
beard and head of hair but partially
conceal. His hands and feet are grow
ing larger and larger, and are already
taking on the appearance of those Of
monkey His disease, if it may be so
called, is not contagious, being only
a state of retrogression.

The teachers association Of Hartford
county, Conn, has taken as the special
subject for discussion at the meeting
to be held this week "the dull scholar"
and it is a bigger question than the
teachers imagine it to be. To the truly
philosophical educator it Is not the
bright boy that is the most interesting,
and in many cases he is not the one
who furnishes the best material for
profitable attention. The Hartford
Courier very wisely remarks, apropos
Of the meeting: MANY is the high
stand scholar who is now glad to get
$500 or $1,000 year as teacher or
preacher in the back country, while his
dull associate of college days pays as
much as that for summer cottage in
the same dead town" 1t will be long
time before the mass Of people realize
that intellectual acuteness and alert
ness are not the main element Of sue
cess. What that element is may be de-
scribed by the broad expression moral
stamina" or, as Emerson said, the
power of sticking to anything. Very
keen mental insight, indeed, is some
times a handicap in the race for sue
cess. The Englishman has been said to
get along remarkably we'll because he
is too dull to see difficulties in his path.

is to be carefully distinguished from
the mean spirit Of towards and the
fawning assent of sycophants. It re-

up no important truth from flattery

firm mind, but 1t necessarily requires
manly spirit and fixed principle in

1ninred in a Strange Manner.

When the Chesapeake & Ohio north
bound passenger train No. 4 pulled up
at Manassas, Va, at o'clock recent
evening a sad spectacle was witnessed.
Two little boys were riding on the pilot
of the engine, one supporting the other
in his arms, and both covered from
head to foot with blood. These little
fellows, one IL and the other Is years
of age, were going back to their home
in New York from Atlanta, and had
climbed on the engine for the purpose
Of stealing a ride. Just this side Of
Bristow, the next station south of Ma
nassas, the engine struck COW on the
track, and the animal was violently
flung back against the boys, tanning
them against the engine front and
wounding them both. The smaller boy
is, it is thought, fatally injured, while
the other escaped with slight cut on
the head. They were not discovered
until they had reached this place.
