An old Swedish farmer who lives on the
Baltimore and Ohio road "A few miles from
Chicago had tho misfortune to lose yalu-
able colt the other day. The animal
jumped out of pasture, ran down upon
the railway and was caught in cut by
an express train. The claim agent OF the
road went out to effect an amicable settle
ment, If possible, with the old man.
"we are very sorry, of course, that this
affair happened. said the railway man,
land l hope it will not be necessary for us
to go into court. "
The old farmer looked at him suspi.
ciously and shifted about uneasily, but said
nothing
"You must remember" continued the
claim agent, THAT your colt was tres
passer on our property when the accident
occurred. We don't want any litigation,
however, II we can help it, and we'd like
TO arrange a settlement with you On a

Precinices In the Himalayas.

There is one remarkable popularity OF
the series of Himalayan ranges between
the vale of Kashmr and the central Asian
watershed. They are one after another
cut right across by ridges. The reason for
the ranges were formed, and as, by the,
crinkling of the earths crust the ranges
were raised, the rivers cut gorges through
them and maintained their flow.
Manga Parbat is part of the true and
principal Himalayan range and its sum
NIT rises to the stupendous altitude above
sea level of 26, $50 feet. Close TO its foot,
not more than ten miles in horizontal dis
lance from the peak, the Indus flows
through desert gorge, and here the height
above sea level of the river bed is not
much above 5000 feet.
1t Is easy TO conceive from these figures

U,cut Comics For Reviewers.

Il does seem ungracious thus To state II
and savoring of Incidence, but the English
book reviewers complain of the books they
receive which are uncut. That important
person in the big newspaper office, the ex-
change editor, never could get through his
onerous labors were his journals placed on
his table uncut. No man probably ever
could rely upon wife or a daughter to
cut the leaves of book for him, for when
they undertake the task they will dip into
the volume, read bits here and there and
never quite finish the job.
If fully determined, however TO cut,
the pentler sex never will knife the index
or preface. Then there is some art neces-
sary in cutting book. Imprimis, you must
have a proper paper cutter, for your wife S
bairpin is as murderous "a tool ms is pen
holder pipestem or your own index I'm
ger.
Nevertheless, if the professional reader
does cut for himself, there are certain adj
yantages. If the volume is illustrated, he
sees the points, and these give clews to the
contents. Books are not cut by publishers
for the reason that margins should be pre-
served In case of rebinding, because then
an additional silver has to be taken oil.

SIX PERSONS KILLED.
Frightful Accident at the Winchester Re-
peating Arms Works.

New Haven, Conn, July 22.-Four
women and two men were killed
Wednesday by an explosion in the load
ing department at the armory of the
Winchester Repeating Arms company.
Five others were taken to the hospital
badly injured.
The dead are: William F. Banner
Mrs. Mary Baumeister Miss Josie Bren-
nan, Miss Ida Brown, William HILL
Miss Tracy Conroy. Fatally injured
are: George Barderof and Edward
Barderof.
The explosion occurred in the loading
room. Employed in this room were 15o
hands thirds of them girls or wo-
men. Nearly all of the female hands
are employed on the loading machines.
The full complement of hands was at
work in the room when the explosion
took place. Forty feet of the side OF
the building was blown out and hurled
in pieces many feet and fragments OF
human bodies were scattered about.
AS rapidly as a victim was seen to
be alive the sufferers were tenderly
cared for, made as comfortable as pos
sible and conveyed with all possible
speed to their homes. Two of the bod
les had been decapitated. Others had
been partially torn asunder and still
others had been dismembered. The Of
ficals of the company expended every
effort to assist in the work of relief.

ANCIENT LITERATURE.
How Some of 1t, Was Fortunately saved
From Destruction.

From Destruction.
ConsiderineS that the whole Of ancient
literature was confined TO manuscript. 1t
is wonderful that so much of it has come
down to us The preservation of some old
writings has been almost miraculous. To
a single copy preserved in monastery OF
Westphalia, for instance, do We owe all
that we have Of Taeitus This Is the more
remarkable, since the emperor of that
name had copies OF the works OF his dis
tinguished ancestor placed in all the i'm
perial libraries land caused ten copies or
them to be trapseribed yearly. Still, only
the one copy has been found in modern
| times.
A page ofthep second decade of Livy, we
are told, wasstliscovered by man of let
| tiers on battlcdoer while he was amusing
himself in the, country. He rushed up to
| town, but lie was too late, for the battle

DRUNK FROM LOSS OF SLEEP.
Queer Results of a Scientific Test Upon
Subjects Kept Awake Ninety Hours.

Experiment to test the effect of contin-
ued sleeplessness is the latest exploit OF
science.
Professor II. G.. Warren of Princeton
university in u paper describes the find
ings of Professor Patrick and DR.. Gilbert
of the University Of Iowa on the effects of
| the loss of sleep. Those who have missed
| their normal rest for several nights in sue
cession feel lassitude and u sort of de-
pressing interest in life. They behave
queerly and seem TO lose an equitable
| Judgment of things. Events seem out of
proportion and often ordinary occurrences
appear to go zigzag This is the sleepless
Gag" and its Authorizations are as mark
ed as those of "a man carrying an overload
| of liquor.
| Three normal subjects composed of in
structors, and hence men not easily sus-
ceptible to influences, were tested by Pro-
fessor Patrick and DIR. Gilbert They were
kept awake for period of 80 hours with
out resort TO stimulants or other physiolog-
ical means. During the four days and
three nights of the test they were engaged,
as far as possible, in their usual occupa-
tions. Their meals were of the customary
| kind and were served at the usual hours.
After the second night the first subject
suffered curious fantasies. He complain
| cd that the floor was covered with greasy
looking molecular layer of rapidly NOV
ing particles. They worried him almost
to desperation. Often this layer seemed to
him foot above the floor and parallel
with 1t, and it caused him tremendous
trouble, as he stumbled about and tried to
step on it. He staggered and tumbled, but
he couldn't get Il sure footstep. He would
try to walk on space, thinking the floor
was foot above where it was, and when
his efforts met disaster he seemed sorely
distressed.
Later the air was full of these dancing
particles, which developed into swarms OF
little bodies like gnats, but colored rcd,
purple or black. They gyrated, it seemed
to the subject in great glee, and he fre-
quently climbed upon chair to brush
them from about the gas jet This amused
him greatly. Especially was he entertained
by tho various colors in which he saw the
little troopers as they drove about him III

ONE OF lINcoLNs STORIES.
fate Of the Man who Tried to Advertise
Gunpowder at Prayer Meeting.

The following anecdote by Lincoln is re-
counted by General Horace Porter in his
Campaigning With Grant in The Cen
tury. 1t was told during Lincoln's visit to
the front at City Point:
In the course of the conversation that
evening he spoke of the improvement In
arms and ammunition, and of the new
powder prepared for the 10 inch guns He
said he had never seen the latter article,
but he understood IL differed very much
from any other powder that had ever been
used. i told him that / happened TO have
in my tent a specimen which had been
sent to headquarters as curiosity and
that would bring it to him. When l re-
turned with a grain of the powder about
the size of walnut, he took 1t, turned Ii
over In his hand, and, after examining 1t
carefully, said: "Well it's rather larger
than the powder we used to buy in my
shooting days. 1t reminds me of what &C.
Cured once in a country meeting house in
Sangamon county. You see, there were
very few newspapers then, and the country
storekeepers had TO resort to some other
| means of advertising their wares. If, for
instance, the preacher happened to be late
in coming to a prayer meeting Of an even
ing the shopkeepers would often put in
| the time while the people were waiting by
notifying them of any new arrival of an
| attractive line of goods.
lone evening a man rose up and said :
Brethren, let me take occasion to say,
while we're a-waitin, that have jest re-
ceived new inv'ice of sportin powder.
The grains are so small you kin sca'cely
see 'em with the naked eye, and polished
up so fine you kin stand up and comb yer
| har in front of one of them grains jest
| like 1t was lookin glass. Hope you
come down to my store at the crossroads
and examine that powder for yourselves.
"When we had got about this far, @
rival powder merchant in the meeting
who had been boiling over with indigna
ton at the amount of advertising the OPP
position powder was getting, jumped VI
and cried out: Brethren, l hope you'll MOI
believe a single word Brother Jones ha
been sayin about that powder. I've beer

pledge you my word that the grains i

Ventilation.

Have we ever stopped to think how our
ancestors, two or three generations back,
lived and 1ourished with little or no VEN
tilation in their sleeping apartmentsS The
night air used to be considered very
dreadful menace to health and a sure In
ducer to colds. Bedrooms were kept close
ly shut, and yet our ancestors, many OF
them, were harder than we, and lived to
good old ages.
Animals burrow into their holes at
night, breathing the same air over and
over again, while birds and fowls tuck
their heads under their wings
OF course, ventilation is absolutely neces-
sary for proper comfort, cleanliness and
health, but people have lived on little or
none of 1t for hundreds and thousands OF
years.-New York Tribune.

GET RICH IN A DAY.
IL. w Shaw Writes That 1000 Pans of
Gold Are Not Uncommon sights.

Seattle, Wash, July 22.-B. W. Shaw,
formerly a well-known insurance man
of Seattle, has written a letter to a
business man Of this city in which he
states frankly he does not expect to be
believed.
This is a great mining strike" says
Shaw, probably the greatest on the
American continent, or in the world. i
know you will not believe me if L tell
YOU all about it. Gold has not been
found in great paying quantities except
on the creeks, about 200 claims. Some
of the pay streaks are nearly all gold.
One thousand dollars to the pan is not
an uncommon thing, and as high as
100 ounces have been taken out or a
single pan. 1t is not unusual TO see men
coming in with all the gold dust they
can carry.
You would not believe me when ]
tell YOU that 1 went into one cabin and
counted five five-gallon oil cans full oil
gold dust, but ii is a fact 1t is the re-
suit of the work Of two men during the
winter and the dump is not much more
| than half worked out There has beer
| about 1000, 900 in dust taken out sc
| far in the district. At low estimate
I believe there will be s5O.0OO,00O taker
| ont during next the year."
