QUEER WOUNDS.
Made by Spanish Bullets at the Battle
of San Juan,

OF Dan Juan.
"My messmate, the Surgeon, told ME
Of two queer wounds" said the re-
turned Cuban campaigner, land if |
did not know him to be a truthful
man who had seen the wounds with
his own eyes, l would not believe the
story He said late in the afternOG II
of the day the hill was stormed Il man
came up to the hospital tent and said
Doctor | am shot through the neck
The doctor supposed a glancing shot
had left its mark on the side of thu
neck, but he told the man to take off
the bandage in which it was bound
thinking he would see if the wound
was clean. To his utter astonishmcnt
he found the man had been shot Q
bullet passing through the neck from
side to side. He said he could hardly
believe his eyes, and several other sur.
geons were called to look at the
wound, but it was there without cues
ton, and the man alive and not bleed.
ing to death The wound was dressed
and the man made to lie down. Next
morning the wounded man asked leave
to go back to the firing line, saying
he felt fine and wanted another crack
at the Dagoes.' He was kept in the
tent another day and finally was al
lowed to join his company, and j., so
far as | know, alive to-day The sur
geOn told me a bullet could not pass
through mans neck in that way
without killing him once in 10000
times. and had he not seen the man
he would hardly credit the story being
true
"The other wound was equally odd.
A man was brought into the hospital
who, while in a STOPPING position. had
been shot in the back by a sharp.
shooter, the bullet entering the back

man carried in his hand the teeth and
bullet when he arrived at the hospital
He din not die, strange to relate The
bullet had sufficient force to pass into

injure the throat badly. That wound

She Can Boast.

Philadelphia can boast of the long
est smoothly asphalted street in
the world. Broad street has that dis
tinction. 1t is the only street which
is of even width for eleven miles, and
this width is the gratest ever attained
by any street for a course of eleven
miles. 1t is also the straightest
street, for from League Island to the
county line it does not vary an inch,
except where the great city building
causes the building to turn around it
Seven miles of the street are asphalt
ed, but the remainder is provided with
bed of fine macadam, which 10 sAswt

THE COLLIE AND SHEEP.
Wonderful Sagacity Shown In the
Care of Flocks.

The sheep dogs in this country come
by their nature and training honestly,
for either they or their ancestors
came from the sheep.dotted hills Of
England, Scotland or Wales, where
for generations past the supreme eff
fort of the shepherd has been to pro-
duce a perfect sheep dog. They have
succeeded well, for no man could ex-
eel them in sheep lore, no man could
be more useful to the sheep owner for
man is neither so persistent and agile,
possesses such endurance, or is so
gentle under training and reproof.
The dog doesn't reason as to the why
and wherefore of his affection, for the
worst sort of a brutal shepherd may
have tho most faithful dog, one that
win igd .he sheep on the hills, pa
& + Sit his masters coming and
eva his reeling footsteps to his
t1e gseat plains of the west
have made it possible for
csc ta care for three or four
1 Ed .eep in one flock. All they
Gsk Is bite to eat, and once in
vii wEcn their feet are filled with
TIE sharp thOrns of the cactus they
viii come to have them taken out.
There is no value on a well-trained
sheep dog. The well-bred collie which
takes the prizes at the bench snow
Is beautiful to look at, but this home
lier brother, the trained dog of the
range, is worth more than he is be-
yond price. The sheep owner holds
him as beyond purchase. The sheep
herder who falls so low as to part
with his companion is yet to be found
and if the dog were to be bought the
buyer might rue his bargain, for the
master must go with the dog
In the new country the work of the
sheep dog is hard; It is on big scale.
In the old country the work is easier,
but it has it's finer points In the new
country the dog may drive two thou
sand sheep; in the old country dog
may drive three or four, which takes
more thought and skill. In the old
country the feature Of every country
fair in a sheep district is the sheep
dog trials. A trophy is the annual
prize, and the shepherds and their
dogs come from afar to try for the
cup. The dog that carries away the
trophy may be a little, short-haired,
homely and insignificant brute, which
slinks to the heels of his master like
creature of no spirit, but send him
after the sheep and his whole charac.
ter seems to change. He is slow and
gentle or quick and bold, as the sheep
may require. His whole attitude is
tense and nervous. No human being
could manifest a greater responsible

THREE ECLIPSES.
Two of the Sun and One of the Moon
Visible This Year.

In this, the last year of the nine
teenth century, which, by the way. is
not leap year, though it is Invisible
by four, there will be three eclipses,
two of the sun and one of the moon.
The solar eclipse, taking place on
the 2Sth of May, will be visible
throughout the United States, and be
total from the southern part of Vir-
ginia down through Mexico, while
north of Norfolk, Va, it will be par
tial. In the city OF Baltimore it will
begin at 7:45 a. m. OF all phenomena
of nature there is none so profoundly
impressive and awe-inspiring as a
total eclipse of the sun, and a trip to
those regions of the country through
which a shadow of the moon will pass
on the % the of May is well worth I'M
dertaking. 1t scarcely admits of any
doubt that many thousand people of
of the northern and middle states of
the Union will go to see a phenom-
enon which comparatively few people
have ever had the privilege of behold.
ing. The average breadth of the
eclipse track will be nearly sixtg
miles. A second eclipse of the sun
will occur on the 21st of November. 1t
will be annular, but not visible in this
country. A partial eclipse of the
moon will take place on the 18th of
June, though it will not be visible in
this country.

November also begin with the same

While Sleeping.

It is not while we work and worry
over the affairs of life that we grow
old. 1t is while we sleep. according to
Flynn, the celebrated English physi-
ologist.
Mr.. Flynn leads us to this conclu-
sion through his advocacy of the mid
night dinner plan.
mo midday luncheon for brain
workers" said Mr.. Flynn. 1t impairs
the mental powers and interrupts the
train of thought
Then Mr. Flynn proceeds to advo-
cate a before-going-to-bed meal. 1T
Is necessary to repair the waste that
goes on at night" he said. "The waste
of long night of fast is beyond cal
culation. The stomach should be well
filed with nourishing food to counter
act the loss. This is especially true
of aenemic persons"
Mr. Flynn points out the fact that
most persons look pale and tagged as
they get up in the morning. 81 have
heard dozen of friends say that they
look five years older on rising than
retiring. and 1t is true. If you would
not grow old while you sleep be sure
that you are well nourished before re-
firing The body ages faster from
hunger than time"

What He Wanted.

There was an enterprising Liverpool
tailor who has never been known to
acknowledge that he didn't have any
thing a possible customer might ask
for.
One day a customer entered the
shop and asked If he had any trousers
made especially for one-legged men.
Certainly" replied the merchant.
What kind do you want?"
Dress trousers" said the man.
"The best you've got"
Hurrying to the rear of the store,
the enterprising merchant snatched
up pair of trousers and shipped off
the right leg. Hastily turning under
the edges he presented them to the
customer.
That's the kind want. What's the
price?"
zone guinea"
"Well give me a pair with the left
leg Off"
A month later the merchant was
pronounced convalescent and on the
high road to recovery.-London Tit
