WHEN MEN ARE SHOT.
soldiers Have Widely Different Ways
OF Receiving an Injury,

OF kerciNing an injury.
II you take u dozen soldiers as like
each other as peas so far as hight,
weight, strength, age, courage and
general appearance. and wound them
all in precisely the same way, you
viii find that scarcely any OF them are
affected alike. One man on receiving
IA bullet in his leg will go on fighting
as II nothing had happened. lie does
not know, in fact. that he now con-
tains 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 IL really very
slight. A third will cry out in a way
to brighten his comrades and will for
get everything In his agony. A fourth
will grow stupid and look like an
Idiot. Some soldiers wounded in the
slightest name will have to be car
ried off the field. Others. although
perhaps fatally injured, can easily
walk to the ambulance. Many die
quickly from the shock to the nervous
system. A very curious case is record
ed In the surgical history of our civil
war. In which ,nroe officers were hit ut
just the same time. One had his leg
from the knee down carried away, but
he rode ten miles to the hospital. An
other lost his little finger and he be-
came a raving %lunatic, while a third
was shot through the body and,
though he did not shed a drop of blood
externally. dropped dead from shock.

Farmer. Who Wage War on Hogs.

In the farming communities OF the
province of Ontario. Canada, a peculiar
sect called Zionists Is still l%ourishlng,
in spite OF the efforts OF the authorities
to break 1t up. The cardinal doctrine
OF their creed Is that hogs are pos
sessed by devils, and should therefore
be killed. 1t has been found necessary
therefore to restrain otherwise reason
able farmers from destroying what in
many cases was a chief means of their
support. The Zionist farmers, in some
instances, have Joined together, driven
all their hogs into n place and there
killed them. in no instance allowing
any OF the meat TO be used as food.

eyes. She reconsldered the matter,
and reached New York on the first
train. For weeks she strolled up and
down the narrow street OF millions or
occupied a seat in the stock exchange
balcony. Always she kept an eye out
for a dark, slender, mustached
stranger. She never saw him. He was
not In the crowds that fought their
screaming battles out in a pit carpeted
with bits OF white paper. There are a
great many spectators in Wall street,
n brokers populate the stock ex-
change.
Hire a Wall street office for that
stenographer," said Mr.. Belmont at
last. But let no machines click there.
Curtain the windows with lace, and let
the girl watch the passers-by in the
street, hidden behind this screen from
morning till night"
A detective was posted opposite, with
INSTRUCTIONS to watch the window as
the girl watched the street. The girl
from Boston became as great a mys-
terry TO the brokers as the anonymous
letters were to the Belmonts. Day
after day she sat at the window, her
eyes on the throng in Wall street.
Nothing escaped her.
Finally n day the curtain was
drawn back hastily. A tall, dark man
was passing, a man handsome enough
and dressed well enough to command
attention for that. The detective I'M
derstood the signal and fell In behind
the tall. slender, mustached man. He
followed him to his Office, that OF the
Westmoreland Coal company, where he
was president, for the man was Henri
NJ. Braem. The typewriter girl iden-
titled him fully, and he confessed to
having written the letters. II seemed
incredible that one of the foremost
men Of New York should have carried
on a campaign so despicable and I'M
~derhanded. But there was no doubt
about the facts, and Belmont spared
his antagonist only one humiliation
the penitentiary. This may have been
prompted by a certain quality of mercy
or by some selfish interest. The story

of the triangular bayonet into the Eng

cause. 1t was based on an incident
which occurred at the battle of At

disgust. found that he could not with
draw his weapon, its shape rendering
it peculiarly liable to be retained. SO
