Japanese Self Sacrifice.

On board the Matsushima one man,
who had been shot in the abdomen and
whose intestines were protruding from
the gaping wounds, refused to be car
ried to the surgeons ward. because. he
said he did not want to take any OF the
fighters from their work in order to
carry him below. Another, after hav-
ing had his body burned out OF all
recognition in attempting to extinguish
a fire, stood by helping all he could till
the flames were put out, when he died.
A third (mortally wounded) man. whose
every gasp brought forth gush OF
blood, would not close his eyes until he
had told comrade where the key of an
important locker was and what the
locker contained A chief gunner. whose
under jaw had been shot away and who
could, of course, not utter word,
signed to subordinate with nod to
take his place and fell dead after he
had placed the handle of the gun lever
in his subordinate's hand. =" Heroic

Electro magnetic Voice.

Professor W. L. Ayrton of London
stated recently that There is no doubt
the day will come, maybe when yoc
and are forgotten when copper wires,
gutta percha coverings and iron sheath
ings will be relegated to the museum of
antiquities. Then, when person wants
to telegraph to a friend, he knows not
where, he will call in an electro-mag
netic voice, which will be heard loud
by him who has the electromagnetic
ear, but will be silent to every one else.
He will call, Where are you?' and the
reply will come loud to the man with
the electro. magnetic ear, i am at the
bottom of the coal mine, or crossing
the Andes, or in the middle of the
Pacific. Or, perhaps, no voice will!
come at all, and he may then expect
the friend is dead. Think what that
will mean. Think of the calling which
goes on from room to room, then think
of that calling when it extends from
pole to pole-a calling quite audible to
him who wants to hear, absolutely
silent to him who does not. "

BLACK ROCKS.
story of the Early Days of the Con-
nellsviile Coal Region.

story OF the Early Days of the Con-
nellsviile Coal Region.
A writer in Forest and Stream says
that Elias Blank ore of the early set
tiers Of what is now the great Connells-
Vile coal region, III western Pennsylva-
mia, was among the first Americans to
burn soft coal. How the thing came
about is thus described
One night Mr.. Blank was aroused by
a rapping at ais door. Opening it, he
admitted a famous Indian fighter, Lewis
Whetzell, and companion, Jonathan
Gates, commonly known as Long
Arms 1"
Friend Lewis" said Blank, "where
have thee and our friend been and
where bound?"
II want to get out of here at once, ="
said Whetzell, land Long Arms is of
the same opinion. This country's be-
witched, and Long Arms and / are
nearly scared to death. "
Friend Lewis, thee must not tell
such stories to me-" said old Elias
"Thee knows / am thy friend, ana /
have saved thee when price was on
thy head. l know thou art man of
courage, and friend Jonathan Gates,
whom some call Long Arms, fears
nothing ON earth, and I'm fearful moth
ing anywhere else, and yet thou tellest
Inc that he and thee are scared even al
most unto death. Shame on thee so to
declare before thy friend. who loves We
both as he were thy fatheri'
No, no, Elias. ;" said WhetzelI, drop
ping into the Quaker speech Il tell
thee no lie. We are scared Yesterday
afternoon we were in hiding about a
mile from Dunkard creek, and in the
evening we built fire under the bank
very carefully, and we got some black
rocks to prop up little kettle and put
them beside the fire rather than in it,
and the black roc>s took fire and burned
fiercely, with a filthy smoke and a
bright light, and Long Arms said the
devil would come if we staid, and we
grabbed our kettle and poured out the
water and made our way here, leaving
the black rocks TO burn"
Elias Blank was much interested. He
did not tell Whetzell what the black
rocks were, but he found out exactly
where the men had made their fire, and
when they went away he gave them
each new Ezra Engle rifle. knife
and tomahawk, with four pounds of
powder and a supply of lead.
Then he hunted up their camping
ground, found the 'black rocks" and
opened coal bank into one of the river
hills, and this coal bank is still in eX-
istence in IL foot vein of coal that is
absolutely free from slate and burns
like pitch.

Clean Shirts In Germany.

The Berlin Boersen- Courier tells
about Germans invention of paper
shirt front which is intended to ap-
peal to the large number of continental
Germans who wear dickies. The shirt
front has a paper collar polish and is in
seven layers. AS each layer is torn off
it reveals another white, glistening
front. Thus from one paper dicky the
wearer may evolve a clean paper shirt
front for every day in the week. The
dicky is made to button to any kind of
shirt. 1t costs but 30 pfennig, or about
cents; consequently the expense of a
clean front is but "a cent day. In view
of the prevalence of the dicky habit in
Germany .he inventor has taken steps
to manufacture his compound shirt
fronts in large quantities.

FINISHED THEIR WORK.
recommendation to Abolish the
Committee Of the Whole in
the Assembly.

Madison. Wis. Dec. 30.-[Special. i
The committee on revision of che legisla-
tive rules completed its work Tuesday
afternoon. 1t decided to recommend the
adjustment of the committee of the
whole in the Assembly as q cumbersome
piece of machinery of little or no value.
| may still be decided by vote, however,
that any particular bill shall be required
to pass through committee of the whole.
The report will also recommend that five
unimportant committees, including those
on ways and means, roads and bridges,
legislative expenditures, and federal rela
lions, be abolsher. and that the member
ship of other committees be increased.
The rules of the Senate and Assembly
are to be made uniform, and about half
Of them stricken out altogether, the pur-
pose being to simplify and expedite the
work of the session.
One further change which Senator
Weeks he'd prepared but forgot until af-
ter the meeting was over will probably
come up later. 1t is Il rule cutting off
the introduction of new bills after the
first thirty days of the session; any meas
ures introduced after that time will, if
this rule is adopted. be required to first
pass through the hands of a committee
on legislation, which may then introduce
them to the Legislature if they be deemed
of sufficient Importance.
