One of the most curious finds even
made from the sea was that which
came to the Azores In 1853. The is
land Of Corvo was then IN the posses
sion OF two runaway British sailors.
One morning there drlfted ashore a
craft which had evidently been frozen
In the Ice for long time. 1t was an
ancient and battered brig without
masts, bulwark or name, but the
matches were ON. the cabin doors fast.
and the hulk was buoyant. She habit
tie cargo. and that consisted of skins
and furs In prime condition.
No papers were found In the cabin.
but 1t was figured that she was a
sealer or trader. carrying II crew Of
10 or IL. and that she had been pro
visioned for year. The flour was
spoiled, but the beef was perfectly
preserved She had been abandoned
when frozen IN al iceberg and drifted
for years. The date of the letter found
In the foreeastle showed that the brig
had been abandoned nearly half a
century before. The two sailors got
out the furs. which eventually brought
them "a 900. and two barrels OF beef
and then set lire to the wreck. No trace
was ever found Of its name or owners.

There ar certain insects that have
such a respect for Mrs. Grundy and
are endowed with such an innate love
of ncatness and order that not even
death. or rather deeapitation, can pre-
vent them from making one grand
final toilet. which Is clearly designed
to give them sedate and respectable
appearance after death.
Dr. Bnllion. skilled entomologist,
discovered this remarkable fact. Dur
ing one of my recent horseback rides"
he says. II frequently caught one OF
those large flies which annoy cattle
and horses so much. and ! promptly
got rid of II by crushing Its head.
One day. instead of throwing the mu-
tilated insect away. placed 1t on the
back Of my hand and indolently watch
ed It. For some seconds the insect re-
mained motionlcss. but then, to my
unbounded surprise II moved Its front
legs forward to the place where the
head should have been and. after IL
had rublAd them nervously together,
apparently In anguish, ii began to
brush Its body and to smooth its wings
with Its hind legs Under the gentle
pressure of these limbs the body grad
ually became extended and the ex-
tremity curved. while the wings grad
ually changed their natural position
and left the upper part Of the body
exposed. Meanwhile che hind legs
continued to brush each other from
time to time.
Naturally watched this extra
ordinary sight with great interest, and.
In order TO see the finale. | took the
insect into my study where 1t lived
an entire day spending the time at
the ungrateful tas.. of making Its own
funeral toilet"

An Incident Tint Happened In the
Franco-Prussfan War.

An Incident That Happened In the
Franco-Prussian War.
1t is a peculiar circumstance that
hardened and trained troops will go
through long fight surrounded by all
the horrors that are lnseparable from
war without tiinehlng and with the ut
most apparent callousness, and the
same men will be struck terrified by q
single trifIng incident
Every war of any Importance. partic-
ularly wars between civilized nations
Is prolific In incidents OF trivial charac-
ter In themselves, but so unusual and
unnatural that they appeal b the nat
ural instructive horror OF men more
suddenly and intensely than perhaps
the main terrors Of days Of carnage
and surrounding scenes OF suffering.
Such an Incident Is the one, for exam
pie. which occurred at the battle Of
Worth In the early days Of the Franco
Prussian war.
In the heat OF the great battle q wing
Of the Prussian army was charged By
the regiments OF French cuirassiers In
the hope of turning the wing and facil-
itating the falling back Of the French
infantry. But the cuirassiers were
driven back by the unflnching Prus-
slams Again the culrassiers charged.
and again they were driven back by
the whitening fire Of shot and shell.
For a third time they came down
again, and as the enemy waited for
them to draw nearer a horrible. blood
freezing terror seized the Prussians.
and for a moment 1t looked as II they
would turn and fly or be cut down
without defending themselves. But In
. moment they had pulled themselves
together and beaten back for the third
and last time the gallant cuirassiers.
The sight that terrified the Prussians
appears nothing very much In black
and white. 1t was II regiment of cuiras-
siers led at a dashlng rate toward them
by a headless officer sitting upright In
his saddle and apparently encouraging
his men after having been decapitated
