Some Notable Cnses.

Indiana furnishes three notable
cases which prove beyond all doubt that
n man may be shot through the brain
and still not be killed. November 4 Her.
bert j. Fish, of Valparaiso, shot him
self in the head with revolver. He
pressed the muzzle of the gun against
his right temple and the bullet passed
through the right and left anterior
hemispheres of the brain, lodging in the
posterior bone wall of the left eye
socket. The brain matter oozed out.
One of the eyes fell out on his cheek.
Both eyes were taken out week later
and the ball cut out. Though the sense
of smell and sight are gone forever, he
is recovering and will live. November
10 at Evansville Abner johnson was
shot in the head by William Chapman.
The ball passed through the brain and
lodged in the base of the skull. The boy
rallied and now is out of danger. The
bullet passed directly through both
lobes of the brain and the brain matter
oozed from the wound. Otto Lever, at
Anderson, aged II, shot himself through
the brain year ago while playing with
a revolver. The bullet passed directly
through both lobes and lodged in the
back of the brain. He lay unconscious
| for six months. He was at first par.
alyzed, but later gained control of his
limbs and is to-day as sound mentally
and physically as any boy. The Y rays
were used and it was found that the bull
| let is being held by cyst.

White Gross on n Blue Ground.
The number of countries having
national flags, their number is now
more than 1O0-is to be added Crete
the patriotic Cretans believing that the
selection of flag should precede rath'
er than follow autonomy. The formal
acceptance of the Cretan flag was made
at the Monastery OF Arloadi, on the
scene of the stand made by the pa
triotic Cretans against the Turkish sol
diery in the revolt of 1866.
The Cretan flag is to show black
cross upon a white ground, symbolic
"of the mourning of Crete for the con
tinued postponemento of her national as
pirations." White and black on flag
is not an approved combination, except
among pirates, and for that reason the
Cretan flag, at some sacrifice of sym
metry, has been further embellishet
by second and smaller cross in tht
left-band upper corner, white eros
on blue ground, the Greek colors
The portion of the flag occupied by th'
Greek colors is symbolic of the hope o
ultimate consolidation of Crete will

OF all the elopements ever recorded
in Kansas the oldest one is reported
from Independence, says the Kansas
City Journal, where A. j. Hagerman,
aged SO, and Elizabeth Mooney, aged
73, fled their homes in the dark watches
of the night and were secretly married.
The wedding had been arranged for a
month ago, but the relatives of both
the bride and bridegroom found it out
and kept them apart. Finally Mr.. Hag-
erman went away from town ostensibly
upon visit to friends at distance and
the watchfulness of the two families
became relaxed. But he did not go far.
and when darkness came he returned to
independence. When the family had
retired Mrs. Mooney made her escape
from the Louse, joined her aged lover,
and the pair FASTENED away to justice
of the peace, who performed the cere-
mony.

Bowling Green seems to have very
effectually solved the tramp question
ny compelling every tramp to work be-
fore being fed, and during the month
from Dec. IA to Jan. II, the city had
hut 40 applications for food, only three
of whom worked out the price OF
II meal, which proves. conclusively,
that very few of the large army OF
tramps are worthy of assistance. Dur
ing the same period a year ago the
same town had 2SS applications tor as.

At funeral in central Missouri the
other day, after the services were over
and as the undertaken was closing the
coffin, an old gentleman rushed for
ward. You must not close that cof-
fn," he said, eXcitedly. The undertaken
looked at him moment in speechless
astonishment. Finally, however, he
managed to gasp out the one word:
"Why?" Because" replied the man,
"my teeth are in there" In leaning
over the coffin to take a last look at his
friend his false teeth had become
loosened and fallen in the coffin.

A protestant Bishop has registered a
kick against the christening of Ameri-
can war ships by breaking bottles Of
wine and whisky over the PROV of the
boat as she glides into the water, and
there are thousands OF people who will
probably agree with him that water
would do as we'll for the boat, while the
wine could be put to much better use
by the audience who are present at the
christening.

With the statement that Colorado
heads the list of gold-producing States
for 1897, comes the curious fact that
she is also the largest producer Of silver
in the United States, although none of
her silver is produced from strictly
speaking silver mines. II comes from
mines whose principal value il in gold
and other metals, the production OF sill
yer being but incidental. The gold
production OF the State has amounted
10 $22, 800, 600, while that OF silver has
been between 10 and IA million. The
total metal production of the State for
the wear amounts TO oyer $46 900, 900.
Large as this sum is, and al great a
nlIning State as Colorado is, the value
OF her agricultural products exceed
even this, being something over s46,-
0oO,OOO.

The United States can no longer oc-
cupy tentative position in regard to
Hawaii. The Hawaiian Government
has offered itself freely TO the United
States, and if we do not accept the is
lands we must reject them, in which
case some other governm 4nt will step
in and take possession. 1t must be
either one thing or the other. The
sentiment of the great majority of the
people of the country is undoubtedly IN
favor of annexation, and indications
from Washington point TO an early rat
llication of the Presidents treaty.

Boston is soon to have something
entirely new in the way of school.
It is to be called the School Of House
keeping, and is expected to do much
toward solving the domestic problem.
At this new school housekeeping is to
be regarded as science and to be
studied as such. It is to be a school
where employers and employees may
together learn the business Of house
keeping, and it will aim to have it's
graduates well versed in every branch
of domestic service.

saving a great deal of property. It
is said that during the vacation the

waste or damage property of various
kinds to the amount of $1,000, 900
day.
