A OBTAINING HAND.
Though Placed Unfortunately, 1t Was Firm, and the Victim Submit
 ted Gracefully.

A certain young woman who says that Fate somehow sends her more than her share of awkward predicaments came home from church on. recent Sunday morning with new mishap to relate. To the assembled family-who, it must be confessed. were more dis posed to laugh than to sympathize- she explained matters thus:
 You know, wanted particularly to see Miss - about the poor children's Christmas tree, and I knew my only chance was to get hold of her in church So, as soon as the service was over, fla ther and l started out at once, and as we passed Miss -'s pew stopped to speak to her. I hadn't told father that l was going to stop, and as he was a trifie ahead of me I was afraid he wouldn't wait, but would go on, thinking I was right behind. So, just to make sure that he didn't, grabbed his coat firmly with one hand and held it as I stood talking. He tugged at it rather hard at first, I thought. and I wondered why he should be in such a hurry, but hadn't time to explain to him. Then he gave funny little chnckle and stood quiet. Finally I fin ished my conversation and turned round to go. My dears, felt like sink ing down on the pew cushions in a heapl It wasn't my father at all! I lad been hanging on desperately to a strange man's coat! We'll, that was bad enough, but, with my usual happy fac ulty, of course, I went on to make it worse.
 Oh. l beg your pardonl' I gasped. ! thought you were my fatherl Then the man laughed outright, and no won der. He couldn't have been a day over % years oldl Really, I shall have to have nurse or a guardian to keep me out of scrapes, or l shall bring disgrace on you all." And she sat down with a reminiscent sigh.-N. Y. Tribune.

SOME QUEER APPETITES.
nstriches and Goats Are Not Alone the Possessors of Strange
 Tastes.

The novel operation mentioned of the removal of over six inches of hair pin from the neck of kitten is rot al- together without precedent. Daily Mail representative. in the course of some brief interviews with several eading veterinary surgeons yesterday heard of many strange accidents that befell domestic pets, and of how sci ence has on many occasions given pain less and complete relief.
 Kittens and puppies. and cats and dogs, it was stated, are frequent sui ferers from a lack of discrimination in swallowing things never intended for consumption. Hatpins. knitting needles and ordinary needles and pins are among the articles they have been known to swallow. Only recently tiny fox terrier was submitted for pro- fessional examination on what was supposed to be an abscess in the side. The surgeon. however. decided that foreign body was present. and nothing could of course be doEe without the mercful aid of chloroform. for it is both interesting and gratifying to know that even the least painful oper- ation is never attempted until the ani- nal 10 be operate on is placed tenn porarily beyond the reach of pain. The result of this operation disclosed the presence of wooden meat skewer in the terriers stomach. with the point projecting between its ribs. The ob- stacle was successfully removed, and to-day the tiny pet is as frisky as ever it was.
 Another small spaniel paid the pen alty of it's avariciousness with its life, mainly owing to the fact that its own CT was comparatively poor man One morning the dog entered the bedroom and. bounding upon the dressing table. lapped up a diamond stud worth five or six guineas. Ordinary emetics had no effect. and unfortunately under chloroform on the operating table the surgeon was unsuccessful in dislodging the stud. At the wish of the owner, a further supply of the drug was given. and a post-mortem revealed the miss ing gem.
 Ii is attributed to some cats, tha: they show an incorporate inclination for wine corks. and frequently swallow them. Others swallow needles. which gradually work out through their skin. and there is a case on record of an om- nivorous goat that swallowed packet of small needles. and for some months afterward, owing to it's porcupine ex- terior, was a terror to the small boys who attempted to take seat on its back
 Pet white mice, guinea pigs, tame rabbits, and hedgehogs are also in- cluded in the veterinary surgeons pa- tients. Most of their ailments are. how ever, medical troubles, and their com plaints are very little different to those of their youthful owners, in whose eyes, however the invalid's state is mo- mentous matter.-London Mail.

HOW LOUD IS A SOUND?
An Instrument Has Been invente That Proves There Is
 No silence.

There is no such thing as silence What men call silence includes ali noises below the limit at which the hus man ear will register sound, but silencs. is really full of sounds that pass un noticed.
 This interesting fact has just been revealed by an instrument invented bS Prof. A. G. Webster, of Clark universityI to photograph sound.
 The device can photograph any sound from the roar of an explosion to fhs noise made by draught of air passing through a room.
 The machine consists of set of moVl able mirrors and prisms. which act id conjunction with a diaphragm.
 The slightest sound will cause this diaphragm to yibrate. On the inneS side of the diaphragm is attached very small circular mirror weighing a fraction of a grain.
 When a sound, however slight, enters the resonator. or receiver of the instrul ment. the diaphragm. and consequenty the small mirror, vibrate backward and forward and a small beam of light x sent careening about among the othel mirrors and prisms, and is made finally to resolve itself into a series of colored fringes.
 These fringes are projected through a series of slits in screen. until by the time the light reaches the photographic plate it takes the form of a waving line
 This waving line is projected on [ screen by means of lantern. and may be viewed. if necessary. by number ol persons at once.-London Mail.

WHO SHOT THIS SOLDIER?
A Young Volunteer Lost His Nerve at San Juan HilI, But Sur
 geon Quieted Him.

Telling of volunteer and regular off, cers, recalls a sensational and myste- rious occurrence on San Juan hill.
 On the night of July 2. when the Epaniards made their dash at the Amer jean lines. the available trenches were eaek cd full of men. An excitahle vol unteer major. startled out of his sleep, ordered the men in support over the brow of the hill into the trenches. They grabbed their guns and run over the crest of the hill, only to find the in- trenchments filled to the limit with their own men. They had to lie down just back of the trenches without cover.
 The men in the trenches were blaz- ing away for all that was in them. The new men sent up back of them were so many that they could not all lie side by side, but some had to lie one be- hind another
 It was a dark night. Orders were drowned in the volleys of musketry, and 10 many of the volunteers the bu- gle and whistle calls were a foreign lam guage. It necessarily rested with the Individual men in the ranks back of fhe trenches to display their cool judg- ment by refraining from firing.
 An excitable lad of not more than IT 0r 55 in the rear rank of those back of the trenches loaded and fired. At that moment comrade just in front of him who had lifted himself on his elbows to see the advancing Spaniards fiattened ont on his face-stone dead.
 The Spaniards were soon glad to gal Iop back to their intrenchments. Then the support was ordered back under the brow of the hiii again, and brought its dead with it.
 The man who had been killed just in front of the excitable lad had hole in him that looked mighty like a Springfield rife bullet from the rear. A man beside the lad had seen him fire and the dead man drop. The lad him. self admitted he had fired. The captain of the company. his men say, is good officer but excitable. In this case he was mortified and showed a disposi- lion 10 be nasty and little vindictive.
 He assembled his company. and in the course of five-minute talk had the ac- scused lad groveling on the hillside in abject mysteries. The captain talked of a drumhead court martial, and firing squad in the morning. The occurrence had quite evidently been too much for bis nerves
 Meanwhile an enlisted man had beer sent for surgeon. When one came he Happened to be a regular. He listened to the evidence. and it didn't appear tc excite him or shake his nerve. The lac was writhing and crying out in a kino of mysteries at his feet. He looked dowr nj him. poked him with the toe of his boot. and snid. "Shut up!'
 Then he stepped over few paces ts where the dead man was stretched out and examined him by the starlight He took quite time. and the men whc had gathered about awaited further developments with intense interest To the lad writhing on the ground il probably seemed aE eternity.
 At last the regular surgeon cam, back. He looked down at the lad in, differently. Then he looked the com

Letting canes. One day the admiral,
finding his bodyguard beating some
dusty clothing with priceless stick,
told the man to stop, and asked him if
he knew what he was doing. The man
looked at the stick and the clothing
carefully and then said with a puzzled
tone of voice: 81 was cleaning your
clothes with that old stick" The adj
miral shook his head sadly, and replied:
THAT stick came from far up in the
interior of Brazil, and is worth more
than a dozen suits of clothes. If you
must do it, use the clothes to clean the
stick, but never the stick to clean the
clothes" A small puppy dog on ship
board took an antipathy to one cane,
and assai.ed it with tooth and claw
whenever he found himself near it. At
the end of a week the admiral caught
the little fellow gnawing his imaginary
enemy. He took the stick away, with
the remark: ut is terrible waste of
value for a one-dollar puppy to ruin a

A Hungarian philologist, DIR. Anton
Velics, thinks he has discovered the
original language of man. He has
found that the great groups of lam
guages, Indo-Germanic, Semitic, Ham

tween 200 and 300 ancient Chinese
roots, some of which have disappeared
from the Chinese language and are
now found only in japanese. He has
published his theory in Hungarian,
but is going to translate it into Ger
man, SO that other philologists may be
able to criticise it.
