One dog recently killed in one night
sixty out of a large flock of sheep near
where the writer lives. 1t seems al
most incredible that such a wholesale
destruction could be wrought by one
dog in so short a time. The act was
the expression of hereditary instinct
derived from his wolfish ancestors,
whose habit was to run down and kill
every helpless victim on their nightly
raids.

Comic Songs Sung in Rhythmic Way
In Middlemarch.
George Eliot has several things to
say about music as it was practiced
in Middlemarch and its vicinity, and
1t is as critical that, like Miss Austen,
she knew what she was talking about.
as it is that Middlemarch was real
place, and that the Brookes, and Vim
cys, and Cadwalladers, and Chettams
were real people. We like Mr.. Brooke
all the better for not carrying his lad
vanced views into the region Of must
cal art, says the Cornhill Magazine.
"a woman should be able to sit down
and play you or sing you a good old
English tune; that is what | like,
though | have heard most things
been at the opera in Vienna, Gluck
and Mozart, everything of that sort.
But I'm a conservative in music; it's
not like ideas; l stick to the good old
tunes" Neither Dorothea nor Mr..
Casaubon cared about music, and
George Eliot, evidently taking some
such view as Mr.. Austen Leigh, for
gives Dorothea on the ground of the
small tinkling in which domestic
art chiefly consisted at that dark Pc
Rod" In Middlemarch it was the
fashion to sing comic songs Gin a
rhythmic way, leaving you to fancy
the tune, very much as il you were
tapping a drum No doubt the
"Humors of Bartlemy Fair" and the
''Skein of White Worsted at Flint's"
were in the Middlemarch repertoire, as
well as so Miss Myrtle is Going to
Marry" and the "Musical Wife,

Use of RevoIvers.

I was present at the trial where a
man with a split-second watch timed
a very ordinary denizen Of the border,
who drew his six-shooter and emptied
it in a second and a quarter. says
Munsey's Magazine. 1t takes a tyro
that long to pull the trigger once
when he is all ready. The experts do
not pull the trigger at all. Long ago it
was demonstrated that II was vastly
quicker to file of the pawl that locks
a gun and trust to tanning" the
hammer. than It was to shoot even
the easiest OF double action revolvers
in the ordinary way. This explains
how It was possible for the famous
man-killers to accomplish marvels
against other and equally desperate
men as well armed as themselves.

Thor Position In Battle Is Matter OF
Grave Consideration.
The British Medical association is
sitting at Cheltenham, and on We'd
nesday some very interesting facts
were brought forward as to the posi-
ton Of the wounded in naval battles.
Owing to the alterations in the struc-
ture of the ships, the old arrangements
under which the wounded were at once
carried down to the cockpit cannot
be continued, and, on the opinion of
Fleet Surgeon c. Kirker, the most
humane course now adopted both by
the French and Japanese, is to leave
the wounded sailors lie where they
are until the action is over and men
can be spared to carry them down in
ambulances, which will take some me-
chanical skill to devise. A light sleigh
on runners of his own device is now
being tested previous to approval. The
wounded are as safe on deck for a
short time as elsewhere, and modern
wounds do not cause dangerous loss
of blood. 1t is essential, however, that
each ship should have an operating
room, which at present is not included
in the accepted designs. 1t appears
that the general health of sailors in
warships is good, iron being much
better than wood for sanitation, but
some improvements are greatly requir-
ed, and should be attended to by the
admiralty at once.-Spectator
