TURGENEFF ABHORS SPORT,

How q Dying Pheasant Influenced His
Whole Career.
The celebrated Russian novelist, Tur-
genetf tells most touching incident
from his own life, which awakened in
him sentiments that have colored all
his writings with deep and tender
feeling.
When Turgeneff was a hoy of 10,
his father took him out one day bird
shooting. AS they tramped across the
brown stubble golden pheasant rose
with low whir from the ground at his
feet, and with the joy of a sportsman
throbbing his veins he raised his gun
and fired, wild with excitement, when
the creature fell fiuttering at his side.
Life was ebbing FAST but the instinct
of the mother was stronger than death
itself, and with a feeble f1utter of her
wings the mother bird reached the nest
where her young brood were huddled,
unconscious of danger. Then, with such
look of pleading and reproach that
his heart stood still at the ruin he had
wrought, and never to his dying day
did he forget the feeling of cruelty and
guilt that came to him in that moment,
the little brown head toppled over, and
only the dead body of the mother shield
ed her nestlings.
Father, father" he cried, "what
have done:" as he turned his horror
stricken face to his father. But not to
his fathers eye had this little tragedy
been enacted, and he said: "Well done,
my son. That was we'll done for your
first shot. You will soon be fine sports
man.
"Neyer, father, never again shall l
destroy any living creature. If that is
sport, ! will have none of it. Life is
more beautiful to me than death, and
since | cannot give life will not take
it. '-Atlanta Constitution.

HAUNTED BY A NUMBER.
Figures Scrubbed by a SchooIboy Finally
Brought Fortune.

Figures SCFlDDieu ny ScHOOlDOy lnally
Brought Fortune.
"My brother William, whodied a few
years ago." said Colonel Andrew Free
man the other night, "from his boy
hood days had curious habit of scrib
bling on every piece of blank paper he
picked up.
"When he was first able to form fig
ures with a pen or pencil, he would
trace the meaningless number Is, 174'
on everything that had blank space of
sufficient size. On the whitewashed
walls of the little old red schoohouse
down in my home county in the Penny
rifle that boy wrote 10, 174' ten thou
sand times or more.

the margins of the newspapers my IA
ther was IA subscriber for, on the en-
velopes and on the unused bits of papers
in all of the letters that came to our
house he traced those figures in every
idle moment without being able to tell
why he did so. My father gave the lad
some pretty eevere thrashings and count
less reprirards for INDUCING in the
senseless habit, but Will never stopped
it for day.
"When | was 81 and Will was %, I
told him one day that was going to

but the next month l got two tenth

$4,000 capital prize. Will got one-half
of the cash, and till the day of his
death, eight years ago. never quit talk

me. 1t was the most remarkable Incl
dent in my life and the most notable

INDIAN MAGIC.
1t Is Often Beyond the Power of the
Wisest to Explain 1t.

W iseSb W AIApIaAii
One need not go to the realms of
space, or time, or figures to meet with
the incomprehensible Despite modern
science and ingenui; : this word still re-
mains the only applicable epithet for
some of the achievements of Indian con-
jurers. We can smile at the luminous
appearance Of the beautiful face before
which as the revelation of Osiris the
old Egyptians Frustrated themselves in
awe-for the mnrvels of the magic Ian
tern arc familiar to US, the early exist
ence of gunpowder gives an easy ex-
PLANTATION of the oracle's lightning and
thunder, the weird harmony of Mem
non was merely the result of All in
genious mechanical CONFERENCE.-The
shrewd travellers of later date, whose
veracity is beyond dispute, tell of
much more inexplicable things than
these. One Of the best known writer's
on occultism, Jacolliot, has left an ac-
count of certain things he saw during
his official sojourn in India which, as
they seem to defy explanation, may
fairly be classed among things incom
prehensible. The performer was one
whom he accidentally met and who re-
quired some persuasion before he would
exhibit feats which, he continually at
firmed, were the work of other intelli-
gences.
On some sticks fixed upright in flow
erpots were placed some leaves from
tree, with holes in each sufficiently
large to make them fall to the level of
the mold, Standing at a considerable
distance, the fakir made a gesture with
his hands. A slight breeze seemed to
pervade the room, then the leaves quiv-
cred and gradually worked upward ON
the sticks Jacolliot placed himself be-
tween the fiowerpots and the operator,
placed the sticks in the flooring and
adopted every means he could imagine
to Illustrate any trickery, but nothing
he did made any difference to the move
ment of the leaves.
The more familiar feat of the SEEM
ingly supernatural growth of flowers
was utterly eclipsed by another instance
vouched for by the same narrator. His
own servant brought him a score or so
of seeds, from which he selected and
uIhlh0u Ou6. Liz lhhlI pldub6u IL Ill d
pot of earth, muttered some words over
it and fell into sort of trance, which
lasted about 80 minutes. He then
awoke, uncovered the pot and discover
ed a Seeding two or three inches high.
Jacolliot examined it and found it had
sprung from the seed which he had
marked.
With touch of a peacock S feather
the fakir depressed balance of COM
mon weighing machine in daily use in
the household, though in the other was
a weight of IL stone, and with dis
tant motion of his hand he made shay
ings of wood to sink or move in water.
Still more marvellous is the description
of the manner in which this veritable
eastern wizard was able to set at de-
tiance the law of gravity. On this occa-
sion, when leaving the room, he paused
on the threshold, folded his arms, and,
by a simple act of volition, raised him
self from the floor and remained poised
in air for some minutes. - London

TIE SHIPS RUDDER.
Is Two Parts and the Difference In the
Strain That Comes Upon Them.

Is Two Parts and the Difference In the
Strain That Comes Upon Them.
The rudder of a wooden ship is com
posed of the stalk and the backing,
which are so joined together as to form
in effect a single piece. The complete
rudder is coppered, to protect it from
worms, and then, besides being practi-
cally all in one piece, it has that ap
pearance also
The stalk is the part 20 which are at
tached the pintles, or pivots, by which
the rudder is suspended and held in
place, these going through eyes set in
the ships sternpost. The stalk runs up
through the stern of the ship, and to
its head is bolted a cap to which are at
tached the ropes by means of which the
rudder is controlled. The backing is the
blade part of the rudder.
By far the greater strain comes on
the stalk, and the greatest strain Of all
comes on the head of the stalk, the
rudder head, where it is held. The
stalk is made of the wood most likely
to stand the strain, carefully selected,
sound, we'll seasoned oak, while the
backing is made of spruce or hard pine.
The stalk is of a single, solid, massive
piece, stout as an oak tree and indeed
of the dimensions of small oak
something that a man can pin his faith
to, if he can have faith in any wood,
while the backing or blade is, like
many modern wooden masts, built up.
1t would be difficult if not impossible
to find trees that would yield planks
big enough for the purpose in single
piece, and the built up backing, made
of pieces of selected wood, can easily be
made of ample strength to withstand
any strain that will be brought upon it.
AS to the stalk, stout and solid as the
oak may be, the head may be twisted
by the force of tremendous blow from
wave upon the rudder, or, under the
repeated strains of long use, the head
may split, and so make the stalk use
less. Then the rudder is taken out and
fitted with new stalk. A suitable stick
is selected and worked down to the
proper size and form, and very probably
the old backing is attached to it. The
life of rrdder stalk would probably
be l2 to IA years. The backing might
last as long AS the ship-New York
