NERVE WON HIM LIBERTY.
Quick Wit and Daring Ruse Of Rus
sian RevoIutionist.


Nowhere outside of the pages Of fic-
ton would we expect such an incident
as the following from the personal
story Of the Russian revolutionist Ma
rodny: Narodny had just jumped from
a window to escape the police. "When
I scrambled to my feet I discovered
myself in the yard and among half
dozen soldiers. I was without over
coat and hat-a very suspicious figure
and, having neither, could not es-
cape even could get by the soldiers
who surrounded me-" he said.

yard out into the street. Before me
were thousands of soldiers. saw my
friends being brought down from the

which stood guards Of Cossacks.

that group are in prison today save
only myself and the friend who es-

CATCHING Redhot Rivets.

This would not seem to be a pleasing
occupation even If the rivet Is caught
IN an old mail bag, yet the feat is con-
stantly performed by workmen. Or
dinarily they catch rivets in riyet
keg or something Of that sort, but
there are men who catch rivets with a
pair of tongs-just reach out for them
and nip redhot rivet out OF the air
with the nipper part Of the tongs in
much the same way that a bird nips 2
flying feather out of the air with its
beak, The feat is commonly seen by
persons who watch workmen on high
buildings.-Harper's Weekly.

Dancing Stars.

The spectroscope makes the starry
heavens to the astronomers eye ap-
pear almost as full of may motions
as IS n cloud of gnats dancing in the
sunshine. Every increase In the pow
er of the observing apparatus brings
to notice new spectroscopic binaries
which are simply double stars that
cannot be seen separately either be-
cause Of their extreme closeness or
because only one Of them is shining
body. 1t is the erratic motions OF
these stars that reveal their true
character. One Of them discovered
within recent years is Eta Orionis.
which hangs just below the belt Of
Orion. Sometimes this star Is speed
ing toward the earth more than forty
miles n second and few nights later
is hurrying away with similar veloc-
ity.-New York Sun.

GHOSTS OF THE LIVING.
A Case That Throws Light on the
Problem of Apparitions.

1t is not at all necessary to resort to
the supernatural as the only sufficient
explanation of apparitions. In truth
there Is one insurmountable obstacle
to regarding them as supernatural
manifestations, and that is the simple
circumstance that the ghosts wear
clothes. 1t is quite conceivable that
there really may be ghosts of persons,
but nobody who gave the matter a sec
ond thought would contend for a mo-
ment that there can be ghosts of
clothes. Nevertheless apparitions are
always clothed and sometimes in gar
ments of such modern cut that they
were unknown at the time the person
seen as phantom lived on earth.
Aside from this, there is the inter-
esting and by no means unimportant
circumstance that houses are some
times haunted by apparitions not of
the dead, but of the living. | know
| of one case in which gentleman en-
, teriGs O drawing room at 4 in the
afternoon saw seated on the sofa
young lady with reddish gold" hair,
who appeared to lie reading book.
There were two other persons in the
room, one seated beside her on the
sofa, and the visitor was surprised to
find that they did not offer to intro
duce him to the young lady-did not.
in fact seem to see her. Later guest
ut week end party saw the same ap.
partition in the same house. and it was
seen Il third time by one of the serv-
ants.
No light was thrown on the strange
affair until, year afterward, the wife
of the son of the family arrived from
Australia to pay first visit to her
husbands relatives and was immedi-
ately identified by the servant as the
figure she had seen. The two visitors
who also had seen the apparition sub
seQuently made the same identifica-
tion.
Since it is incredible to suppose that
a person can be in two places at the
same time-so that lady can be both
in Australia and in house thousands
of miles from Australia-it is legiti-
mate inference that phantasms, wheth-
er Of the living or of the dead, are de-
void Of objective reality, are, that Is
to say, always and only hallucinations.

INDIA'S SACRED MONKEYS.
An Intruder Into Their Jungle Retreat
Got q Good Scare.

Got q Good Scare.
In various parts Of India monkeys
are regarded as objects of worship.
One of the principal monkey temples
Is at Nuddea. Such veneration Is
shown there to Huniman, the monkey
god, that visitors may not enter the
court Of the temple without removing
their shoes.
On one occasion an English officer,
in passing up the country near Mud
dea, chanced to stroll into bamboo
jungle when his boat had put to" for
the night. He had not advanced far
before he heard terrific uproar all
about vhim, and he was not little
alarmed to behold whole army of the
largest monkeys he had ever seen
making toward him from all quarters.
Some jumped on the ground before
him, others swung by the bamboos
over his head, and many closed up the
path in his rear Several females had
young ones clinging to them, but this
fact did not seem to ren1er them less
aSlle imam the OtucTS.
The Englishman knew not what to
do. He yelled at the top of his voice
for assistance. To his intense relief,
each time that he yelled the monkeys
retreated bit. This encouraged him
to perseyere in his shouting, but he
observed that when he himself began
to retreat the monkeys would again
begin to close in upon him.
Then he stood still and gave one
tremendous shout, whereat the mon
keys went back again. This time the
man had gained fully twenty yards
and was about to repeat the call when
there appeared hew figure upon the
scene in the person Of an aged, de-
crepit woman hobbling through the
midst of the animals.
This aged person shook two or three
of the monkeys by the paws as she
passed. No sooner had she come with
in hearing of the Britisher than she
opened upon him the walls of her
wrath for disturbing the sacred ami
mails in their retirement. She babe the
intruder depart, and that quickly, an
order which he lost no time in execut-
ing. The monkeys all seemed implicit
ly to obey the old woman's bidding,
making way for the mans retreat
The old woman, it appeared, was
employed by the Brahmans to supply
the monkeys with their food each day.
They were worshiped by all the peo-
pie in the country round, who brought
offerings of rice and sweetmeats to
them continually Weekly.

A Paradox.

A maiden well advanced in years
used to wait every morning for the
postman, n bachelor of about her age.
and ask him If there was not a letter
for her. Several weeks passed thus.
but the anxiously expected letter did
not arrive. Finally one morning the
postman said to her, "Well, tomorrow
you shall get your letter, il 1 have to
write 1t myself"
That's right; do It." replied the old
maid. Il shall be delighted to ac-
cept It."
"Well," said the postman, smiling,
what do you want me to write-a
business letter or love letter."
IF you mean business please write
a love letter." was hor blushlng reply.

Tho Chance of a Word,

"Spanking" did not suggest chastise-

representative of the sound of the act,
