A SINGULAR FACT.
The Sense of Feeling Deadened In Crit.
ical Moments.

The Sense of Feeling Deadened in Crit
ical Moments.
It is comforting to know that in ex-
IRENE cases of bodily harm men suffer
much less than is commonly imposed.
Rustem Pasha, Turkish ambassador in
London, was once attacked by a
bear, which tore off part of his
hand and part of his arm and
shoulder. He affirmed afterward that
he felt no sense of fear or pain.
What occupied his mind was feeling
of anger because the bear grunted
with so much satisfaction while thus
engaged"
Sir Edward Bradford, an Indian off,
Ger, bears similar testimony. He was
seized by tiger, which held him with
one paw, and then deliberately de-
voured the whole of his arm, beginning
at the hand and ending at the shoulder.
He, too, is sure that he felt no fear.
He believes he felt little pain when
the fangs went through his hand, but
feels certain that he felt none when
the tiger was munching his arm.
The author of 'Among Men and
Horses" from whose DOCK the torego.
ing facts have been gathered, relates
an experience of his own, bearing upon
the same point.
He was walking unarmed through an
Indian jungle, when tiger sprang up
almost at his feet. "For probably two
seconds, which seemed as many years, -
says Mr. Hayes, she raced round me,
while I stood stock still, wondering
why could not put out my hand and
catch him by the tail. That was the
only thought that occupied my mind
during those eventful moments, until,
with a bound and a growl, the tiger
disappeared into the thick underbrush.o

Managed to Recover . Dropped Quarter
from \ Difficult Spot.


He had deposited his ticket in the
box on the downtown station of the
Sixth avenue "L" road at Fiftieth street
early one morning, and was counting
his change IN a search for plugged dimes
and nickels. A quarter fell from his
hands and rolled along the platform
until it lodged under the raised steps
which form the edge of the platform
There it lay in plain view, but as unob-
tainable as the golden apples of Hes
rerides. The loser was the picture OF
rage, says the New York Mail and Elk
press.

it just makes me mad to see that quarter
there, and l can't get it."

senger boy, land five cents for ex'
pemses, and I'll get your num-"
The man regarded the boy for mo-
7nent and said: go ahead"
He returned in few minutes wills
his form working conyulsively. In his
hand he had piece of scantling. Tho
crowd watched him curiously. From
Lis mouth the boy took a we'll masti-
Gated wad of chewing gum. He stuc':
this on the end of the scantling and
ihrusting lie stick through the narrow
space, pressed the soft and sticky guIn
sirmly on the lost coin. Then he deftly
z7rew it out ond presented the money to
rs owner.
Keep the whole outfit" said the man.
Boy, you're a peach. We live and
iearn," and he boarded train, his fac
wreathed i'm smiles. The face of the boy
was similarly decorated.
