SUBSTITUTES FOR BULLETS

Nuggetsso of Gold and ~ --.len Slugs Used
BY Hunters In Emery encies.
When a hunter in the old days lost
all his bullets or hadn t any to shoot
with he usually devised substitutes that
on occasion served the purpose well.
All sorts Of things have been fired at
game or Indians, as the case might be.
Old Hank Ellison, living up in jefferson
county, N. s, told to his dying day how
he was cooped up by Indians out west
once, with a little lead. lots Of powder,
q belt full Of gold nuggets, a fine rife
and Q bullet mold. It was on the top Of
q knoll where his log cabin had been
built, and he had barrel of water and
a lot of wood for emergencies. The In
dians kept just out Of range, dashing
in once in awhile to draw his fire. He
soon used his bullets up, and then used
the gold. He fired nearly half his for
tune at the redskins before they left
him. szs
Many hunter has used pebble in
the hope of getting close deadly shot.
Jackknives and ramrods have served
their time as missiles. Forest and
Stream tells about q hunter who had
only a single bullet, but lots of powder.
The bullet shot the horn of a big buck
off, and the buck charged the man, who
took to a tree top. He spent half an
hour whiting off two-inch lengths of
branches and putting them into his
rifle. Then he rammed them down on
the powder and fired at the maddened
deer. His partner came along after
awhile with a belt full of bullets, and,
making run for the tree, gave q bull
let to the shooter, who quickly killed
the deer. -.

THE CORPSE DEFlED TIME.

Kept in Good State of Preservation
Thirty Years. ~
The grave of Capt. Jacob King, at
Marietta, o., who died in the army SO
years ago, was lately opened in order, to
make room for his wife, who has just
passed away, says an exchange. Capt.
King was buried in a steel casket, sealed
and perfectly air-tight. In consequence
of this fact there was quite. a crowd OF
relatives and friends of the family pres
emit when the coffin was exhumed to
view the remains. When the plate over
the glass was removed and the remains
exposed to view the whole of Capt.
Kings features were plainly visible.
His face had not even blackened to a
great extent, and one of his grandchil-
dren who had never seen him in life
declared that he could recognize him
from the picture he had left. Capt.
King was buried in full uniform, which
was as fresh-lookng as the day it was
inferred. The buttons had lost none Of
their brightness, and even the cotton
on which his head rested was not dis
colored in the least. ~
The only part of the face that showed
the ravages of time and decay were
his eyes, which were gone entirely.
The glass was broken and the effect Of
the air on the corpse. was not ascer-
tanned. Capt. King was mason and his
badge was plainly visible. He was ~
ing in Mound cemetery, whose spill, IS
quite sandy, but whether this had, any
thing to do with his preservation is
unknown. -''%.

TO SLEEP WELL,
a Light Supper just Before Retiring Is
Usually Beneficial

Usually Beneficial.
A light supper just before retiring is
usually of advantage. Babies and brute
animals are usually somnolent when
their stomachs are well supplied with
food, the activity of the stomach with
drawing the excess of blood from the
brain, where it is not needed during
sleep. On the other hand, people who
are very hungry usually find it difficult
TO sleep. And, then, a habit of sleep at
a regular time and during proper hours
should be cultivated in case this habit
has been lost. In accomplishing this
the attainment of a favorable state of
71:ind is of great Importance. Sleep carr
not be enforced by direct exercise of
the will. .~'.-
p The very effort of the will to command
sleep is enough to render it's attain
ment nugatory. The mental state to
be encouraged is one of quiescence, one
OF indifference, q feeling that the re-
cumbent posture is a proper one for rest
and that if the thoughts are disposed
to continue active they may be safely
allowed to take their course without
any effort toward control. This state
of mind and thought is next akin to
dreams and dreaming is next akin to
sound sleep.
Many mental methods have been adj
rised and put in practice for the pur-
pose OF securing sleep, the design being
to turn the thoughts from objects of
interest to o condition of monotony; as
by mentally repeating well-remem-
bered phrases or sentences, or by count
ing. But the state Of indifference, if
this can be obtained, is likely to be the
most efficient, as being the Least active.
The mere mention Of these simple
methods will be sufficient to suggest
Others equally effective. Medical Rec

From the abovecomplaintit 1t will be

ments of drunkenness and brutality
when acting coroner be fully sho wn.
After the struggle he made nine years
ago to conquer q habit that had
about enslaved him and nov charged
with being drunk on duty, it Is
but natural that he should resent it.
While not Objecting, but fully ex-
pecting. that criticism Of official acts
during the five years of his tenure as
justice of the peace, yet he does and
will expect such criticism to be based
upon truth and facts instead of lies
and Misrepresentation. A singular
feature of this matter is that the in
quest was held over three months
ago and the news Fred Hoffman
brought was that length of time
travelling SO miles and the editor Oi
the Democrat accepted his statement
as true and made comment thereon
when MessIs. Mcfarland and Waite
were both here and could have been
seen relative to it's truth or falsity
1t would seem that from his desir,
to censure Republican officials when
ever possible, that the editor in thi'
case let his zeal get away with his
discretion.
1t will be noticed that the com

one for damages, but is a crimina

by the county attorney. Mr.. Nc
Farland does not ask dollars. bu1
