Sent Photograph Of Hand.

A photograph of an injured hand
firmly clutching a package OF letters
will be the means OF the owner OF the
hand getting a position as a rural free
delivery letter carrier.
The application of the man, who re-
sides in Goshen, Ind, was rejected be-
cause of the manned hand, the thumb
being gone and the member being 9th
erwise mutilated, but the silent protest
and testimonial of the photograph,
which has been received at the Post
Office Department here, is considered
sufficient proof OF the ability OF the ap-
plicant to perform the duties, and he
will probably be appointed.

Paunceiote Was Poor.

London (By Cable).-The announce
ment that the late Lord Paunceiote's
family was left with practically no estate
save small home seat in Gloucester
lire, is expected to result in the grant
ing OF larger pension to the widow
than is ordinarily given. There is no
doubt that Lord Pauncefote's ambas-
sadoria career left his family several
thousand pounds sterling poorer than
would have been the case had he not
been compelled to incur extra expenses.

All being made ready, the big grap-

mixing this feast with the ordinary

The human stomach possesses most
wonderful powers of adaptation to cir

and his eighteen men were cast off
from the Bounty by the mutineers in
an open boat, they subsisted for forty
one days on a daily allowance of one
twenty ffth of pound Of biscuit per
man and a. quarter of pint of water.
DR.. Tanner in 1880 tasted for forty
days, subsisting. it is said. on water
alone and Succi and other fasting men
have since excelled this.
Kaffirs, North American Indians and
the fat boy in 'Pickwick" may well
be quoted as fearful examples of vo.

of flesh and oil if he has the chance.
