A billet In His Hrain

A hospital physician pointed out an
orderly to a gentleman who was visit
ing the institution recently and said ::
THAT man has for five years carried
around n bullet in his brain. Five
years ago he became respondent be-
cause of poverty. put 81 caliber pis-
tol behind his left ear, pulled the trig-
ger and fell apparently dead. The
ball made a small. round hole and re-
mained lodged somewhere in his head.
A few hours after he was brought here
he regained consciousness. and, great
ly to our surprise. he made n rapid re-
covery. The wound was never probed,
and no effort has been made TO locate
the bullet. After he was able to walk
about we noticed that he was n trifle
irrational-nOt mad you know-but
weakminded. A considerable portion
of his brain must without doubt be en-
tirely destroyed. The human animal
is certainly the hardest thing on earth
to kill."-New York News.

Yaxvning In a Tn eater.

Have you ever observed at n theater
or concert that the people who are
most deeply interested appear between
the acts to be quite weary of the whole
thing, yawning half a dozen times in
succession? The reason of this Is Il
physiological one. When your atten-
ton is much absorbed in anything ex-
citing or touching. you breathe In
very shallow manner and take into
your lungs only half enough air. Con-
seQuently, when your attention is re-
laxed, you have to make up the de-
ficiency. This you do by yawning,
which, after all. is only breathing a
very deep breath.
If you watch a man at a play and
observe that he is greatly moved by
some incident, you may feel sure that
when the scene ends he will sigh, and
a moment or two later yawn repeated
ly. OF course the yawning, so far
from being sign of weariness, is a
proof of the liveliest appreciation.

received in London since the adyiccs
from the British commander. This
gives rise TO a belief that communica~
tions have already been cut.
Late last evening the Prince OF
Wales and the Marquis of Salisbury
sent their respective secretaries. to the
war office to make inquiries. but the
reply given was that no further news
had been received. Large crowds still
waited in the vicinity shortly before
midnight.

effect of giving strong impulse to- the

commander-in-chief has issued Il long
statement indicating the best methods
of distributing the money thus raised.
Public anxiety was Increased by a
special dispatch from Ladysmith. pub
lished in the late editions of the Lon
don afternoon papers To the effect that
before darkness Monday the Beers re-
occupied the old position held by their
heavy artillery. which General White
had reported silenced by the guns OF
the naval brigade from the Powerful
and had opened fire again. The dis
patch further says: The enemy are
again closing in and the situation is
one of grave anxiety. Beyond doubt
the Boer retirement yesterday Mon
dayl was Il ruse To draw General
White into the hilly country and
away from he British camp" This
the Beers failed To do.
As matter of fact Monday General
White advapced with the idea OF driv-
ing the Beers from n hill seven miles
out which General Joubert made an
OStentatiOuS show of fOrtifying on
Sunday. The Boer commander left Il
force sHfficient to draw General White
on. while the mass of the Beers he
moved stealthily round the British
right. to deliver u flank attack and TO
endeavOr to cut off General White from
Ladysmith. The British commander
succeeded in heating off the attack.
Harsh things are said in military cir
clcS OF the British tactics. which have
made possible the ambush of the
Eighteenth hussars at Glencoe and now
the loss OF two fine regiments.
Sir George Whites honest admis-
sion of full responsibility and the
terms of his dispatch are regarded in
some circles SIS virtually placing his
ease in the hands of the home authori-
ties. and il is even rumored that the
war office has already decided to Su-
perSede him. The report. however, is
diScredited in well-informed quarters.
