Am Exeitln* Time For Which There
Wae Really No Occaatoa.
As a passenger train on the Hannibal
was puling out a tall countryman, in
cumbered with four bundles, a scythe
snath, au ax handle, a bag of bananas
and a small boy, came out of the depot
and began to take his bearings. Up and
down the tracks his gate wandered, up
and down the long lines of coaches
drawn up under the sheds, and at last,
■■ the.rear coach was passing him, he
caught sight of the moving train.
“Come on, Freddie! Thar she goes!”
he yelled and began to transfer some of
bis belongings from hit right hand to
ins left as he ran. Freddie made an
/amazing record for one whose legs were
so short, and they were soon beside the
steps on the rear end of the last coqch.
There was a man standing on the plat
form.
“Hay, stop ’er, stop ’er!” cried Fred
die’s pa. "Put on that ar wind brake,
mister! Pull that ar rope up over your
head and make ’er stop!’*
But the man Oiily'reached down and
oaugbt Freddie,*&ho was leaping and
swinging and dragging by turns in his
vain efforts to make his short legs
stretch far enough to get bis feet on the
lower step. Pa held on to him with one
hand and the man on the platform
finally succeeded in drawing him up.
Pa slung the banana bag after him. It
slid on across the platform and Went
overboard on the other side. Pa made a
leap for the steps, dropped a bundle and
stooped to pick it up. The recovery of
the bundle took but a second, but the
train was getting welt under way and
was a tail's length ahead when he be
gan the chase again. One wild spurt,
with his, coattails standing out behind
him, a reckless leap, and pa, too, was
aboard, but a bundle containing an un
' derfihirt had been lost in the tussle.
An employee of the depot picked the
bundle up, and a section man who hap
pened by appropriated the bananas to
his own refreshment. The crowd that
had breathlessly awaited the result of
the race melted away, and the depot at
tendants, who had been preparing to
pick pa up with shovels, went about
their duties. ~
Half an hour later a very angry man
came prancing down the depot platform.
He was holding a small boy by one
hand, and the ends of an ax handle and
scythe snath protruded from under his
‘ arm.
It was pa. He approached a depot
official and said:
“Why didn't you tell me that wasn’t
the Wabash? I wanted the Wabaih;
Jttaft’s what I wanted. ”
The official tenderly handed pa his
new undershirt and replied in'die soft
tones that soothAtbe ruffled soul:

INSISTED ON PAYING.
A Man Who Wouldn’t Accept Leant'
Advice For Nothin*.
The other day an old fellow slouched
into Attorney Oscar Kahn’s office, on
Legal row, and introduced himself as
Mr. Smith, Jones, Brown, or something,
of a neighboring counter. He said he
wanted to consult a lawyer and was ac
corded a seat and one of the attorney’s
sweetest smiles.
He then explained that while he was
away from home the sheriff or some
deputy had attached his wife’s sewing
machine and bureau for taxes. He did
not propose to tolerate such imposition,
he declared.
“What is the amount of taxes?” in
quired the lawyer. ,
“Lemme see—ll.2B,” was the reply.
The lawyer could not conceal a smile,
but hastened to say: “Well, Mr. Smith,
if ycu want my advice, it is to go back
and sc:He that small amount It looks
like the easiest and best way out of it. ”
The old fellow thought a moment
and replied that he believed he would.
Answering, he asked, “How much do I
owe you?”
“Oh, nothing, sir,” was the reply.
“I won’t charge you anything for a lit
tle advice like that.”
“But I alius pays fer whut I git and
want ter pay yer jes’ the same.”
“Oh, that’s all right; come in again
some time when you need advice on
something more important, and we’ll
square it then.”
“Naw, I want ter pay it now. Jes’
squeal out. Es it’s 25 cents, I’ll pay it.
Es yewant 50, there It is!” And he
threw down a half dollar and left. —

DcftßM Mr For Attempt* at Ntoeasm.
Dr. E. A. Down of this city In his offi
cial capacity as a member of the state
.board of charities visits periodically the
various insane asylums of the state, and
ho has had an opportunity that few men
have of studying teeanity in all its as
pects. In the course of his visitations ho
has gathered one of the moat unique col
lections that were ever got together. It con
sists of a number of primitive tools manu
factured by the inmates of insaug Iprtltb
tlons for purposes of escape or defense at
attack.
Many insane people are possessed of the
delusion that they are the objects of some
special persecution, and in order to protect
themselves against their supposed perse
cutor or in order to be prepared to attack
him when they chance to meet him they
work in secret and prepare for themselves
some very unique weapons. More com
monly their efforts are expended in mak
ing tools for purposes of escape.
The materials which they have at hand
for this purpose limited, they
are compelled to use whatever they can
find, and the greatest ingenuity Is often
exercised by men that to the casual ob
server would seem quite incompetent.
Dr. Down’s collection of these primitive
weapons and tools is quite comprehensive
in its line, and each article in it carries
with it a thrilling story of escape or at
tempted escape.
There is a screwdriver made from a
spoon which a patient at an opportune
moment smuggled to hie room from the
dining table. He broke off the spoon just
above the bowl, and under cover of the
noise which prevailed at times ground
down the handle on bis stone window sill
until it assumed the form of a screwdriv
er. With this ho removed the screws which
held the slat at the side of his window and
made his escape in this manner. This man
was a harmless patient, who was troubled
with recurrent attacks of excitement and
who took pleasure at such times in wit
nessing the fright which he Inspired in
those who thought him dangerous.
The next article in the collection is an
improvised dagger and sheath, the dagger
made from a nail with a piece of rag for a
handle and the sheath made from a chicken
bone. The weapon was found on the per
son of the maker and was taken before he
had time to complete the dagger by filing
down the point oh the nail.
Another improvised weapon is a dirk
made from a long nail with the end well
sharpened and a rag wrapped around the
other end to aerve as a handle. This in
strument was as sharp as an ordinary
knife and would be a formidable weapon
in tho hands of a crazy man.
Perhaps the most unique article in the
collection is a key made from a piece of
orange peel. This apparently harmless
tool was made by a female patient and
was discovered before she had an oppor
tunity to test its efficiency. The prison
officials found on trial that this key made
from dried orange peel would unlock read
ily almost any old and worn lock.
Tho doctor has also a key made from
wood and one made from wood and a piece
of orange peel, and others made from the
handle of a blacking box, from a small
staple, etc., all of which will unlock old
locks with more or less ease. Screwdrivers
seem to be the instrument which the in
mates consider most useful, and there are
several strange varieties of this tool in the
doctor’s collection. They are made from
nails, buttonhooks, springs, from the heel
of a woman's shoe and heel plates and
clothes hooks.—Hartford Courant.
Wisconsin With a
Bear.
While walking/Jong the river road in
the woods nea/ Oconto* Wls., Edward
Brunke was attacked by a bear and had a
tussle that lasted until the bear had made
carpet rags of Brunke’s clothes and left
wounds on his arms that will stand as tes
timonials hereafter to bruin’s ability as a
wrestler. According to Brunke’s story,
the bear approached him walking on his
hind legs, front paws outstretched, and
with grinning, open mouth. Brunke at
first suspected that the bear was a make
believe, rigged up by some of his friends,
but soon discovered his error when the
paws laid hold of his waist.
“It was a case of catch as catch can,’’
said Brunke, “so I tried the grapevine or
hip lock, but the bear’s claws were sharp,
so to even things I slipped out my jack"
knife and ran it into his throat.’* The
bear let go, but took a new hold, and. the
pair rolled upon the ground, where both
combatants practiced half Nelsons, full
Nelsons, strangle and other holds until
they rolled into the bushes, where Brunke
finally escaped from the animal’s clutches.
Brunke came to the city to have his
wounds dressed and to patronize a tailor.

Sun Spots.
The annunoement that Paris meteorolo
gists regard sun spots as having some re
lation to temperature leads the Rochester
Post-Express to say:
“It is more than 15 years ago that Henry
C. Maine of this city proclaimed as an in
controvertible scientific fact the indissolu
ble relation of cause and effect between
solar disturbances, better known as sun
spots, and meteorological disturbances on
the earth, and thus incurred the ridicule
that comes to reward a man of an original
turn of mind for a discovery that runs
counter to current ignorance and preju
dice.
“Now that he has won the good fight
and laid the foundations to a true science
of weather we do not propose to stand by
in cowardly silence and permit ‘the Paris
meteorological authorities’ or even so re
spectable a scientist as M. Flammarion
coolly to gather in the fruits of his long,
arduous and most noteworthy labors.”
Count Muravieff.
“Count Muravieff,” says the London
Sun, “is a dandified little man to look at,
with a taste for English check trousers
and billycock hats. He used to be regard
ed as pld Russian to the backbone and
the uncompromising enemy of all western
institutions. It was supposed, ? tao, that
be was more completely in sympathy with
the views of Alexander HI than of the
present czar. Count Muravieff was said
to have been Indebted for his appointment
as minister for foreign affairs to em
press dowager, and his appointment was
regarded as a triumph for the reactionary
party. ’ ’

ARMY AND NAVY GUNS.
A Vast Diflbranea Im the Member of Men
Required to Handle Them.
The number of men required to man
naval guns of the British, French, Ger
man and American navies is about the
same, although the French are under
stood to have more men as a rule for
some of the larger guns.
For the 4 inch and C inch all services
require four men to work each piece;
for the 6 inch, six men are needed, and
for the 10, 12 and 18 inch the same
number.
As nearly all our 8, 10, 12 and 18
inch guns are used in pairs and mount
ed in turrets the 12 men working them
are protected by heavy plates of steel.
For the little 1 pounders three men are
necessary to work them rapidly, and
for the 3 pounders and 6 pounders four
men are assigned, and for the Hotchkiss
three men.
Treble the number of men seem to be
required to work the same caliber of
guns in our coast defense system, al
though there is. no special reason for
this, unless it be,due to the fact that
the army guns are mounted on disap
pearing carriages and are not provided
with turrets, which naturally limits the
space of the operators. An army A inch
gun takes 16 men to work it; a 10 inch
gun requires 18 men, and a 12 inch
gun, the largest now constructed by the
army, calls for 21 men.
It will be seen, therefore, that a 18
inch naval gun is operated by six men,
while an army gun of one inch less cali
ber calls for 21 men. The navy gun can
be fired just as rapidly with its six men
as the army gun can be fired with its
larger number.—Boston Herald.
At Sea on Maskat.
A funny scene occurred many years
ago in congress. A present of Arabian
horses, a sword, etc., arrived from the
imam of Maskat for President Adams.
A western member with some heat
moved that the gift should be sent
back, with a letter from congress, in
forming the ruler of Maskat that the
president of the United States was no
King, but the servant of the people, and
was not permitted to give or receive
presents.
Another member rose. “Such a let
ter, Mr. Speaker,” he said, “can easily
be written. But where is it to be sent?
Where is Maskat?”
There was no response. Apparently
not a member of the house was prepared
to answer, nor could Maskat then be
found in any atlas published in this
country. It was found at last on a Ger
man map A civil answer was returned,
and the geographers made haste to in
sert Maskat in the next edition of their
maps. —Exchange.
The Other Way Around.
The loyalty of the Scottish highlander
to his kilt is a picturesque thing. He
will never admit that it makes him
cold, and highlanders who were suffer
ing from cold in the ordinary dress of
civilization have been known to substi
tute the kilt for it in order to get
warm, though this would be much like
removing one’s ooat and waistcoat and
rolling up one’s shirt sleeves for the
same purpose.
It is said that a stranger, seeing a
soldier in full highlander uniform shiv
ering in a cold wind, asked him:
“Sandy, are you cold with the kilt?”
“Na, na, mon,” the soldier answered
indignantly, “but I’m nigh kilt with
the cauld I”—Exchange.
Hurrah!
W. J. Spratley, the Egyptologist,
thinks that “there can be no doubt that

Turning thl Stock.
A writer in The Dry Goods Chronicle
says: “A good point for the retail mer
chant to remember is that it is not how
large a business he does, but how many
times his stock is turned in thp course
