Origin of the Boat.

Only lately has the original boat been
found in use and among the savagcs
of the south sea islands. There the
natives take the stump of Il tree whose
roots offer u good seat, and, launching
this primitive craft, they paddle around
as contentedly as if there was no such
thing as European steamer. and, to
tell the truth, they do not suspect its
existence.
There can be no doubt whatever that
in this stump boat we have the original
method of transportation Ivy water.
Accident certainly contributed to this
discovery.
4 tired swimming savage found log
floating near him. He grasped it and
found that Ii held him above water.
He mounted his log and used i floating
branch to propel the log.
1t was but step from the log to the
more comfortable root of 4 tree ard
another step from the branch propeller
to n shaped paddle.

SOLDIERS IN BATTLE.

The Peculiar Way Some Men Act
When They Are Wounded.
If yod take a dozen soldiers as like
each other as peas so far as height.
weight, strength, age, courage and
general appearance go and wound them
all in precisely the same way, you will
find that scarcely any two of them are
affected alike.
One man on receiving bullet in his
leg will go on fighting as if nothing
had happened. lie does not know, in
fact, that lie now contains Il bullet.
But perhaps In two or three minutes
he will grow faint and fall.
Another man, without feeling the
slightest pain. will tremble all over,
totter and fall at once, even though
The wound is really very slight.
y third will cry out In Il way to
Brighten his comrades and will forget
everything in his agony. \ fourth will
grow stupid and look like an idiot.
Some soldiers wounded in the slight
est manner will have to be carried off
the field. Others, although perhaps
fatally injured. can easily walk TO the
ambulance. Many die quickly from
the shock to the nervous system.
\ very curious case is recorded in
the surgical history of the American
civil war, in which three officers We're
hit Just at the same time. One had
his leg from the knee down carried
away. but he rode ten miles to the
hospital. Another lost his little finger,
and he became n raving maniac. while
a third was shot through the body
and. though he did not shed 4 drop Of
blood externally, he dropped dead from
the shock-New York Telegram.
