the rough outlaws entering the car
where she sat, robbing the passengers
and terrorizing her. unnerved him. He
was easily captured. Hence the failure
of the plot.

"pEcos BILL's'' OLD HORSE.
The steed That Gen. shnrter Rode In
Many Hot Chase After
Indians.

Old Club, the horse ridden by Gen.
Shafter in many hot chase after the
Indians during the seventies, Is still
alive, says the New York Herald. and
in his old age earns his daily allow
ance of oats by drawing a delivery
wagon for Louis Jean, n Frenehman,
who runs a small grocery in FL Paso,
Texas.
Old Club was Gen. Skaters mount
while he was lieutenant colonel at
Fort Davis, Tex. and carried the gal
liant soldier into the midst of many
murderous bands of Apache warriors
without faltering. Astride OF Old
Club, Shafter led his regiment at San
Felipe, then the rendezvous OF the
Apaches, up to Live Oak creek, and up
and down both sides of the Pecos river,
where he earned the name of Pecos
Bill. Old Club and his master drove
the Indians out of Texas and back to
the reservation in New Mexico, and
Skaters name became terror to the
redskins and his reputation as n
fighter was made.
The war horse was condemned at
Fort Davis in 1852 as being too old for
work. He was then believed TO be -
years of age and must now be at least
20. After he had been condemned as
unfit longer TO serve his country on
the battlefield Old Club was retained
by Col. Shafter for n saddle horse. He
was subsequently sold TO a man named
Houston and brought to FL Paso. He
was afterward sold to a transfer COM
pany and used MS n draught horse.
Since that time Old Club has been
used in livery stable, but for the last
ten months has been owned by the
French grocer, Jean.

An express package containing mon

In that way the supposed connection Of

QUIcKNEss OF SENSATION.
Hearing with One Ear II Said to he
sharper Than with Two
other Functions.

Prof. Richet says that - takes
man about one-eleventh Of n second
to think out each note of a musical
scale. He explains the practice that
people will often follow OF bending
their heads in order to catch minute
sounds by the fact that the smallest
intervals OF sound can be made better
distinguished with one ear than with
both, remarks the New York Evening
Journal.
Thus the separateness OF the clicks
Of revolving toothed wheel were
noted by one observer when they did
not exceed GO to the second, but using
both ears he could not distinguish
them when they occurred oftener than
Is times n second.
Among the various ways In which
Prof. Rchet tried 10 arrive az conclu'
sions as to the amount Of time neces-
sary was the touching Of the skin re-
peatedly with light blows from g small
hammer. The fact that the blows ar,
separate and not continuous pressure
can be distinguished when they fol
low one another as frequently as LOO
second.
The sharp sound Of the electric
spark from an induction coil was dis
/ tinguished with one ear. when the rate
was as high as 500 to the second.
The sight is much less keen. Wher
revolving at a speed no faster than 2
times a second, a disk, half white anc
half black, will appear gray.
We also hear more rapidly than W,

ment runs more quickly than ten I,

while with 20 to the second we cal
count only two of them.

qua, recently reported that there are
over 100 persons afflicted with leprosy in

owing to the fact that the pools OF ed
dying waters along the margin Of Rio
Chinandega, in which many Of the citi-

also used by the lepers to wash them

the truth Of the claims made for Dr.

unbroken, and that the morning
brought a clear head and a feeling OF
delighted thankfulness which no words

NOW UNDER THE FIFTH VIAL.
According to Prophecy Turkey Is 90
lie Smashed After spnin, and
Then Comes n General War.

According to the scheme OF prophecy
adopted by leading Interpreters, the
world is now under the fifth vial,
which is being poured out on the seat
OF the beast.-Rev. 26:10. II so, we
need not be astonished at still great
er and heavier judgments yet TO be
sent upon Spain. For the vial is now
to be drained to its dregs, says n min
lister in the Atlanta (Ga.) Journal.
After the humiliation and over
throw OF the Spanish power the next
thing on the prophetic bulletin board
will be the destruction Of Turkey, sym
bolized by the drying up of the river
Euphrates. We no more doubt the de-
structlon Of Turkey than the shining
Of the sun. At the beginning Of the
present struggle many expressed the
fear of a general war. in which all the
nations of Europe would be involved.
The writer took no part in such fear,
and for the reason the time for that
had rot yet come. The sixth vial must
first be poured out upon the Euphrates
Turkey, after which the seventh and
last vial is TO be poured out into the
air. Then, and not till then. may we
expect anything like a general war.
In connection with the pouring on;
Of the seventh or last vial. is to be The
last Of great earthquake or upheav-
al In the religious world, which is 10
usher in the millennium. by which we
are not to understand that every body
is 10 be converted. but simply that all
organized opposition to the Gospel will
he done away with.
