The Kffeet It Had In Subduing n Par ty of Ruffians. For sheer, cool nerve and absolute, inspired genius in dealing with men, commend mo to Clarence King, the geologist, if a story that is told about him be true. Mr. King, the tale runs, was in the field all one summer with a government expedition. The field hap pened to be in the far west, and the men he was compelled to employ as as sistants were a band of cheerful ruf fians, half breed desperadoes and “greas er” scamps. Bad as they were, they worked well, and they were indispensa ble. One night one of them deserted. Mr. King knew what that meant. It meant a stampede and an empty camp if the deserter were allowed to go unpunished. He chose a companion on whose silence he could depend, mounted and took the trail. On the third day the deserter was overtaken, captured and landed in a convenient fort. The runaway had sub sisted for the three days of his liberty on such game and birds as he could kill. Hie horse was white, and as he rode often with prey slung to the saddle, the animal was streaked and stained with blood. The man being in safe keeping. Mr. King and his companion rode back to camp leading the crimson streaked horse, with all the deserter’s belongings strapped to his back. They spoke no word of the missing man to his former companions, but dismounted in grim silence. The men endured the pangs of curiosity as long as they could. Then they sent a committee to Mr. King to make inquiries about the fugitive. Mr. King gave a meaning glance at the blood stained horse and made answer briefly. “He is gone, ” he eaid impressively. “He is gone where anybody else who tries to desert will go too.” Half breeds and “greasers" gasped, and from that day on no one of them all ever tried to deseit.—Washington Post._ The Tables Turned. Birds, we know, are sometimes train ed to tiro off pistols, as well as to per form other unusual feats, but it is not often t- it a wild bird in the woods shoots a man with his own gun, as re lated in “South American Sketches" by Robert Crawford. A pavodel monte, a bird of Uruguay not unlike the turkey, mid been winged by a hunter. It fell.to the ground, bnt was at once on its feet and ran away. Throwing his gun hastily aside, the hunter started in pursuit, and a game of hide and seek ensued. In one of its doublings and turnings the bird passed over the gun, which was lying on the ground, and its foot chanced to strike against the trigger of the undischarged barrel, the hammer of which, in the hurry of the moment, had been left at full cock. There was a loud report, followed by an exclamation of pain from the man. The bird escaped, and the luckless hunter had an ugly wound in the fleshy part of his leg to remind him for weeks afterward of the adventure. No Jay Rows In Theaters.

MYSTERIES OF SLEEP SOME QUEER WORKINGS OF “NA- TURE’S SOFT NURSE.” Instances of Slumber In dvr Ei tr nor dinn rj CdinditioiiN— Why VN <• (Un Awnkcii ul u Svt Timv—Hom Sleep Im Ruled by Habit. One of the most remarkable facts to be found in the history of sleep consists in the utter inability to resist its onset in cases of extreme fatigue. Several re markable instances are given in which persons have continued to walk onward while sleep has overcome them, the au tomatic centers of the brain evidently controlling and stimulating the muscles when consciousness itself had been completely abrogated. It is recorded that at the battle of the Nile, amid the roar of cannon and the fail of wreckage, some of tho over fatigued boys serving the guns with powder fell asleep on the deck. Dr. Carpenter gives another in stance of allied kind. In the course of the Burmese war the captain of a frig ate actively engaged in combat fell asleep from sheer exhaustion and slept soundly for two hours within a yard of one of the biggest guns, which was be ing actively worked during his slum bers. It is a matter of common medical knowledge that extreme exhaustion in face of the severest pain will induce sleep. Here the imperative demand of the body—a demand implanted, as we have seen, in the constitution of cur frames —asserts its influence, and even pain, the ordinary conqueror of repose, has in its tarn to succumb. One of the most extraordinary cases in which the overruling power of sleep was ever ex emplified was that of Damiens, con demned for treason in Paris in 1757 He was barbarously tortured, but re marked that the deprivation of sleep had been the greatest torture of all. It was reported that he slept soundly even in the short intervals which elapsed be tween his periods of torture. Among the Chinese a form of punish ment for crimes consists in keeping the prisoner continually awake or in arous ing him incessantly after short inter vals of repose. After the eighth day of such sleeplessness one criminal besought bis captors to put him to death by any means they could choose or invent, so great was his pain and torment due to the absence of “nature’s soft nurse. ” Persons engaged in mechanical labor, such as attending a machine in a fac tory, have often fallen asleep despite the plain record of pains and penalties attending such dereliction of duty, to say nothing of the sense of personal danger which was plainly kept before their eyes. ” One of the most interesting phases connected with sleep is that in which a determination, formed overnight, that we should wake at a certain hour acts true to the appointed time. In certain instances with which I am acquainted the idea acts perfectly, in others it acts occasionally, and in other cases, again, it fails completely. The explanation of this habit depends on what one may term a “dominant idea,” or an idee fixe, as the French term it. There is something akin in this waking notion to the “dominant idea" with which a hypnotist may impress his facile sub ject. If we substitute for the hypnotist the individual himself, or mayhap the idea of the friend who has been im pressing upon him the necessity for sounding the reveille at a given hour in the morning, we can discern the ra tionale of the action with a fair degree of clearness. The dominant idea in the shape of the necessity for awaking at a certain time is impressed on the brain and is probably transmitted to those automatic or lower centers which rule our me chanical acts which are responsible for the visions of the night and which are capable of carrying out, either in the entire absence of consciousness or in the exercise of a subconscious condition, many complex actions. Through the hours of sleep the dominant idea re mains impressed on these lower centers. The head of the business sleeps on while the night watchman is awake, and so, prompt to the time or shortly before or after it. the desired result is attained and the slumbering brain is awakened to the full measure of its activity. That sleep is ruled by the habits of the individual is extremely evident. An instance is given in which a person who had taken passage on board a warship was rudely awakened by the morning gun, which startled him exceedingly. On succeeding mornings the gun woke him at first sharply and then much more quietly, until at length he slept on without being disturbed at all in his slumbers by the report. It is also nota ble that when a special habit of life has become part and parcel of the daily routine sleep is liable to be disturbed by even the slightest appeal which or dinarily wakes the individual in the exercise of his profession, while noises of much more grievous character fail to effect that result. The doctor wakes on the slightest agitation of his night bell, while the click of the needle a wak-s the tired telegraphist when a loud noise might fail Sir Edward Codrington was serving I in the early days of bis naval experi- ! ences as signal lieutenant to Lord Hood at the battle cf Toulon His duty was | that of watching for and interpreting the signals made by the lookout frig ates. and in this capacity he remained on deck for 18 or 19 hours out of the 24 Exhausted with the strain of watch ing. he went below to obtain sleep, and reposed soundly, undisturbed by any ordinary noise. Yet whenever a com rade lightly whispered in his ear the word “signal'' he at once awoke, ready for duty The cause of sleep is as yet a matter of scientific debate In the pres ent state of our knowledge there can be no absolute certainty in the matter.— “The Ape of Death by Dr Andrew Wilson. F R S E in Harper s Maga zine ' SHE SANG FOR DEATH. Tin. I'ntho* mid fruit,.!’ of Emm* Mitiotf. Pa«»liiK Away. One night in the city of Denver, located at the foot and in plain view of the Rocky mountains, Emma Abbott was billed to appear in “Faust. ” In the same city a most attractive and beauti ful IS year-old girl, belonging to one of the wealthiest families, lay in the last stages < f that fell enemy of the human race -consumption Some weeks before the arrival of the company she said to those around her “Oh, 1 hope the sun will shine and the weat'lier will be warm and genial, so I can hear Miss Abbott sing once more. 1 think I could then pass away peacefully and without one single regret. But there came with the queen of the lyric stage a northern hur ricane- with tie very air charged with icicles, which penetrated the lungs Some one told Miss Abbottof the griev ous disappointment of the dying girl She went to the opera house and never sang more sweetly, and as soon as it wag over and the iindience dismissed called her <-:trii:;/o io.-! directed it tn drive to the home ■ f the young lady. The scene which followed was worthy of the finest brush ever wielded by the grand old masters. There lay the dying earth angel, with pallid lips, hectic cheeks and lustrous eyes and the light of immortal beauty shining upon her face. Standing beside her, in one of her richest robes (the one she had worn that night), sparkling with pearls, rubies and diamonds, stood the almost divine mistress of earthly melody. The first piece rendered was “The Old Folks at Home,” and then followed “1 Know My Redeemer Liveth.” The finale of this weird scene was “Rock of Ages Cleft For Me, Let Me Hide Myself In Thee.'' And then Miss Abbott bent over the frail form and kissed her an eternal farewell. Soon after the spirit passed into the wild winds which rang through the wild mountains near by— set sail for that haven from which she first homeward bound bark is yet to be seen—the stainless soul wafted to tho stainless heavens by the sweetest music ever heard on earth—into the melodics of paradise birds. Miss Abbott returned to her room at the hotel and retired. Some time dur ing the night she awoke with a pain in the left lung. It rapidly grew worse. A physician was summoned. Then anoth er, and another, who applied every remedy they could command. All to no purpose. It was typhoid pneumonia in its worst form. The black camel was kneeling at her door. Angels of the heavenly choir had that night listened to her voice in the sickroom and sent for her to come home to them. In three days that voice which had so often raised the souls of men and wom en to the noblest, the grandest heights in holy- ecstasy, was forever stilled in death—gone forth into—the night. So fades the summer cloud away, So sinks the gale when storms are o'er So gently shuts the eye of day. So dies the wave along the shore. ll. <'. Stevenson in Atlanta Consti ' tution GERMAN MILITARY SERVICE. ' A C'nriouH Method by Which It Mny j He Avoided. Anybody can emigrate from Germany ■ before he is 17 years old without Tun ning the risk, in case he should return, of being forced to join the army, but lie will be allowed to remain only nine months in Germany. If he stays longer he becomes again a German citizen ami must do military service. If he leaves when he has been a little less than nine months in the country and stays away for two or three weeks he can return without running any danger ami can | stay another nine months. If he does I this every nine months he can live as long as he likes in Germany. As soon as a man is 17 years oi l he cannot leave Germany without serving in the army. Ho can, however, get per mission to leave tho country until ho is 20 years old if somebody is willing to give bond that he will return and serve his term. In case a man forfeits his bond he cannot return to his fatherland before he is 45 years old, as he would be promptly arrested and sentenced to serve a longer term than the original one. After a man is 45 years old he can go back to Germany without being pun ished and live there as long as he likes. In.case a deserter is caught in Ger many before he is 45 years old he is sen tenced to two or three years’ imprison ment in a fortress and all his personal property is confiscated.
