think that he was making all the

the farmers wife throws the scraps
in the henyard, he crows as if he was
the provider for the whole farmyard
and was asking a blessing on the
food; when he meets another rooster.
he crows: and when the other rooster
licks him, he crows; and so he keeps

even wakes up during the night and
crows a little on general principles.

Found His Mothers Corpse

Talking about railroad accidents,
there was one with a particularly sad
feature near New York a day or two
ago. A middle-aged woman was run
down at grade crossing and dread
fully injured. surgeon living near
was called, but before he could get to
the spot the watchers had placed a
rug over the face of the victim. She
was dead. The surgeon stepped up
and with professional coolness re-
moved the rug to see the face. Then
he shrieked and fell unconscious be-
side the corpse. 1t was his mother.

Machine for Sealing Envelopes.

An improved machine for sealing
envelopes has been invented by a
man in Topeka, Kas. 'In operation"
says the Scientific American. "the en-
velopes are fed into the machine, the
flaps moistened, turned and finally
pressed tightly to sealing position.
The machine, it is claimed, will seal
from 5000 to $4,000 envelopes an
hour of an ordinary bulk. mixed
sizes, and especially adjusted will
seal at about the same rate up to

FENCING GOOD FOR WOMEN.
Exercise That Will impart Grace and
Physical Strength.

Those who have seen women who
are expert fencers recognize that it
is an extremely graceful amusement.
Many ladies are taking fencing les
sons.
Strength OF leg is necessary, as
well as of wrist, and much activity.
But it is a most admirable exercise,
improving the figure and developing
the muscles. and is worthy to be
made an art.
1t is not only physical strength that
is required for this amusement. but
keenness of the eye and dexterity OF
the wrist. and these are quite woman
y. Quickness OF perception and ac-
ton are necessary.

Gold in it's natural state, like many
other products of the earth, Is an
article of development. What its

BEASTS BORN IN CAPTIVITY.

Bristol, England, Are the Best.

The birth of litter of lions at
Haslemere Park. a private menagerie
in England. leads one of the English
papers to note fact that has for long
puzzled biologists, and that is notori-
Gus among those who interest them
selves in the study of wild beasts in
captivity, this being that nearly all the
lion, tiger and leopard cubs born in
that country have cleft palate, which
prevents them from being properly
sucked, and usually leads to their
premature death. But, beyond this.
more astonishing fact still-and one
that also greatly puzzles biologists-is
that which determines that of all the
wild animals born in England those
born in Bristol are regarded as the
finest and as the most likely to live.
So well known is this to professional
showmen and menagerie keepers that

Brains of lunatics.

An eminent doctor says a heavy
brain is no indication of intellectual
eminence. The average weight of the
European brain is from forty-nine to
fifty ounces. Yet five out of thirty-one
male lunatics, taken without selection
from post-mortem records, had brains
ranging from fifty to fifty-six ounces.
The ebrains of three female lunatics
out of twenty-five exceeded fifty
ounces. 1t is well known that epilep-
tics usually have large brains.

ITO the woman of ancient Israel not to
become a mother was regarded as
the greatest of earthly calamities.
To become a mother-more especially the
mother of a strong healthy boy-was the
height of glory for the faithful woman of the
good old Bible days. Even now. when ma
ternity is not esteemed as of yore. the
mother OF healthy children is an object of
ad miration. and sometimes envy. by her

peoples. the average American woman has
low appreciation of motherhood. There
are however. great many exceptions to
this statement

ATTEMPT To WRECK
A PASSENGER TRAIN
Obstruction Placed on South
ern Railway Track at a
High Trestle

Danville, Va, Oct ia bold at
tempt was made TO wreck passenger
train No. ! on the Norfolk division OF
the Southern railway about three
miles east of this city. The track had
been piled with cross ties and a fieh
plate. The train was running at a very
slow rate of speed, and but for this
fact a disastrous wreck undoubtedly
would have occurred. The obstruction
was placed at the end of high tres.
tie, and the disaster of three weeks
ago would have been duplicated. For.
tunately the track was straight at this
point, and the engineer got his train
down to such speed that when he
struck the ties no damage resulted.
This train from Norfolk is usually a
little late, and had It been so this
time would have reached this point
after dark. II is supposed the wreck
ers knew of this when they placed the
obstruction on the track.
There is a strong opinion here that
there is a gang Of train wreckers in
this locality. and it has been on open
secret that the railroad company be
lieves the wreck of, No. 81 here three

Mr.. Ware to the Rescue.
" York sun.

From the New York sun.
The Hon. Eugene T.. Ware, who runs
The Pension Bureau when he is not

his desk I'm Washington five and a half
months since his appointment eighteen
months ago. Mr. Ware advanced the
immortal Virgins over the heads Of

for not taking vacation for five years.
and the thoughtless are now jeering the

promotes.
The truth is that since the advance
ment of Virgins the Pension Bureau
clerks have unanimously abstained
from vacations. Not even i'm the
height of the baseball season were any
OF them in enough TO get to the ball
field. The result was that the bureau
got far ahead OF it's work, months

WEALTHY MAN
SHOT FOR BURGLAR
Retired Trenton Hotel
Keeper Fatally Wounded
in a Strange House
NO HOPE FOR Ills RECOVERY

Trenton, N. j., Oct. ~. - Henry
Brown, q retired hotelkeeper and e
man Of considerable means, was mis-
taken for a burglar and was shot by
Peter Kotz, into whose house Brown
had forced an entrance. Brown was
shot twice in the head, and his physi-
clans have no hope for his recovery.
Browns act in breaking into Kotz's
house is unexplainable, except en- tao
ground of insanity Brown was act
ing strangely in the early part Of the
evening, and is said TO have been
drinking quite heavily. Kotz lives in
a suburb remote from Browns house,
and the two men and their families
were entirely unacquainted.
About 3 o'clock in the morning Kotz
heard a noise down stairs, and getting
his revolver, went down to the draw
ing room. followed by his wife, carry
ing a dim light. Kotz demanded to
know who Brown was and what he
wanted. Brown made no answer, but
instead walked toward Kotz, who,
thinking Brown was a burglar, and
fearing for his own life, fired twice.
Brown fell with the second shot, and
has remained unconscious since. Kotz
Immediately gave himself up to the
police and is still under arrest. Brown
was taken to st. Frances hospital. His
unconscious condition permits of no
explanation Of his condact, but the
supposition is that in his bewildered
condition he thought he was getting
into his own home. He made his entry
through a window.
