EYES AND MARKMANSHIP
Superiority of Northern Races Over
the Latins In This Particular.

The Saxon and the Celt, the Teuton
and the Norseman--which merely is to
say the blue-eyed people-possess a ca
pacity for craftsmanship none OF the
Latin races ever may hope to attain. 1t
isn't Spaniard's fault that he cannot
fire bullet straight. He can't help it..
He was born than way. He has a racial
defect in far vision. The trouble is seated
in his eyes, and against blue-eyed an
tagonist he must always be the loser
when it comes to scoring at a target
at fairly long range Neither can the
Indian or the negro shoot so as to make
it good betting that he is going to hit
anything. They mean well, but they
won't do.
What it is about the blue eyed man
which renders his far-sight superior to
that of his dark-eyed cousin oculists are
not agreed upon. They have not salts
factorily determined whether his advan-
tage is derived from a pigment which
clarifies the vision or whether the shape
of his lenses is somewhat different, fur
nishing him greater range of sight and
more magnifed picture Of distant OBJ
ects, but Regarding the fact itself they
have long since ceased contention.
All the historic marksmen of record
from Natty Bumpo to Captain Bogardus
have blue or hazel eyes. Look over
the long list of western "killers" who
fourished in the frontier days, now passed
away, and you will recall that the in
vincible ones, those who Were quickest
on the trigger and who never missed theii
man, were blue-eyed. Billy the Kid
Wild Bill, Bat Masterson and Jesst
.James-good men and bad, sheriffs up
holding the law and desperadoes defyint
it--had eyes as blue as the unlocked sky
of June. The Tennessee mountaineer'
who from behind Jackson's cotton balei
poured SO witherin fire into Paeken
hams scarlet-coated veterans that ever
that intrepid soldiery could not endure ii
and fled from its fiery breath as from
before the mouth of furnace were blue
eyed rihemen.
Every regimental officer of experience
and every gun club man knows that tn
blue-eyed man well in the lead over thei
dark eyed fellows, and the longer the dis
lance the more marked become the dis
parity.
When General Shafter has fully dis
embarked his forces upon Cuban soil

An Indian Baby.

II tho watchful American mother who

ter could follow Mohave Indian child
through its infancy, she would more than
once be horror stricken at what she saw.
Occasionally in hot weather the mothers
battle their children. The manner In
which they do it is amusing. They go to
a body of water, strip the child, and plac-
ing strip of cloth under its arms bold
both the ends in hand and swing the child
over tho water, sousing 1t vigorously for
two or three minutes. OF course the child
strangles, coughs and struggles to get It's
breath, but it never cries. When the
mother is satisfied that tho condition of
the child is sufficiently improved, she
drops 1t on the ground and allows 1t to
roll around in the sun until its skin Is
dry. This treatment Is given the child
more with tho view of keeping 1t comfort
ably cool than respectfully clean.-Kate

Is a Violent Death Painful?

Severe injuries to tho body are seldom
very painful at first The severity of the
nervous shock seems to paralyze the nerve
center where consciousness of pain is sit
uated, and in fatal cases there is often no
sense of pain, even when death is delayed
q day or two. In such cases 1t may be sup
posed that the shock not only paralyzes
but even destroys the nerve center. 1t may
be compared TO alightning flash along the
telegraph wires which, although of the
same nature as the electric telegraph cur
rent, yet is so intense as to destroy the re-
ceiving instruments, SO that no subsequent
messages can be received In some fatal
injuries the nerve that would carry the
pain to the brain is destroyed, and such
accidents are almost painless. Our sense
of pain is greatest in the skin, and deep
wounds are therefore not more painful
than shallow ones. In surgical operations
the skin incision is often the most painful
part, and those who have been run through
the body say they were conscious only of
something cold passing through them,
with just prick at the points OF entry
and exit of the weapon. On the other
hand some fatal injuries are very painful,
especially those that interfere with breath
ing, such as injuries to the chest and
throat New York Advertiser.

John James Ingalls,.

When John James Ingalls, was in the

After he became vice president pro tenn
pore he was dignity and equity incarnate
in the chair, but proud as Lucifer and
willing to associate with nobody but HIM
self. His dignity was always marred,
however, at lunchtime With demeanor
of kaiser or emperor he descended the
marble staircase, entered the restaurant,
turned to the right and stood like soldier
at attention" before the oyster counter.
The stalwart negro shucker would i'm
mediately set aside all other orders and
proceed to shuck the biggest of the big
select oysters, and ingalls, would bow po-
litely as though saluting the waiter as he
inclined forward to take each oyster from
the fork, and then, with movement
quick as it was ungainly, he would throw
back his head and gulp the bivalve, on
each occasion making swishing sound
like the drawing of a hoof from the mud.
At such times Mr. ingalls, was neither
eloquent nor elegant. Many time half
dozen strangers, recognizing the bril-
liant political iconoclast, would stop and
stare at him as he went through the mo-
tions described before the oyster counter.
