most thrilling ride of any man now living.
AS the freight was leaving Bay View,

worked the plank from under him and
when Il sudden jolt occurred the plank

Shooting butterflies.

An entomologist in South America

most up to date appliances, to secure
some specimens of a beautiful swal-
towtaiI butterfly. but with no success.

dertook TO procure several live specs

following day presented himself to the
delighted naturalist with six butter
flies. 1t was not till the entomologist
was about to leave the district that he
disclosed his method.

use of their blow gun. often killing big

The French parliament was not al

turmoils of it's debates. In the old
monarchial days, before the revolution,
the sessions of the old parliament
were exceedingly dull and prosy af-
fairs.
One day, it is related. a noble count
was trying to make a speech, and a
very prosy speech it was, while all the
Sther members were either chatting or
resting.

A shin Under Sail.

A ship under full sail is truly mag.

across her decks which can be appre

it. But if you We're tween decks wheD

IIer Mistake.

Two elderly women and an old man,
evident strangers in the city and who
were carefully guarding huge tele-
scope between them, stood in front or
the Grand for an hour the other day,
waiting for some kind soul to direct
them to the residence of friend they
had come to visit. The noise and bus
tie of the city evidently confused them,
and they stood bewildered. not know;

of the women plucked up courage to

"Who?" inquired the man.
''Why. viii Blank. He used to live
next door to us at Linton, and we have

A Cnre In the Fatlure.

'sDid you ever notice that, as rule
the persons who seek death and are
rescued from the grave never court the
society of the dark angel again!
The propounder of the question was
q hospital physician, and he proceeded
to explain:
What / mean is that Of all the per
sons who attempt suicide and are foil
ed but few try self murder second
time. Probably one-half, If not more,
of all those who try to kill themselves
are frustrated. The percentage of those
who leap into the dark river second
time is exceedingly small. | have tried
to discover the reason for this from the
ljps Of those who have gone through
the terrible experience, but | have MOI
met with success.
ut is queer that persons, after devot.
ms weeks and months to considera'
ton of so momentous a-question and
deciding to end their existence, should
when foiled, declare that they were
fools and swear never to do the like
again. Yet this is what is done in g
large majority Of instances. Those who
have stared at death seem to live life
anew. The past is effaced; new ligh
