the proposed victim. At a given
signal several others approach, and
close in on him, rob him, some¬
times seriously injuring him- An
additional ,‘PKl police now ride about
the Bois on bicycle'and keep a sharp
lookout. But, despite this extra
vigilance, the outrages continue.
One day Sandow walking in a
rathc-r remote avenue of the Bois
suddenly realized that he was being
followed. He grasped the situation
and apparently took no notice. As
lie had expected, a signal called two
or three fellows from the shrub¬
bery. As the first approached San¬
dow 6tooped down as if to tie Ids
bootlace, grasped the robber by the
ankle, and used him as a sort of
cat o’ nine tails, lashing his aston¬
ished confreres, first one and
the other, before they had a chance
even to think of escaping, staving
in the ribs of one, smashing the arm
of another, and leaving the whole
gang maimed and strewn upon the
ground. ’Then Sandow leisurely
went on and remarked to the next
policeman he met: three
“You will find two or men
up there more dead than alive.

Gercnimo’s Sword.
An amusing controversy followed
the recent surrender of General
Lieerio Geronimo. teoefiai . the„ Filipino
jeatter. i no party sword or nn- the
pinos laid claim to his on
ground that he had willed it to them
as a souver in recognition of their
instrumentality in b ing about
his surrender. Colonel Thompson

as it had been delivered to him when
Geronimo surrendered. Ihen
was found that this particular
sword the chieftain had turned over
was not his own. t on-? he borrow

comes to light that the real weapon
worn by Geronimo in the wa; is

other officer.
Back From Purgatory.
A startling story, savs the Ra¬
leigh (N. C.) Post, comes from
Northampton conntv, vouched for
l- :r stworthv citizens:

Moody says he then felt no tear ana
answered, “I was at first, but am
not afraid now.” Scott said:
“Well, I want you to get me some
thing to take. I have been in pur
patorv ever sir.'-:- I left here, and
what I get there does not agree with
me.” Then as mysteriously as he
had come he van:-bed. and left
standing t lone in the rood,
Moody, who is said to be truth

he has seen the ghost of Scott, and

England's Youthful Minister.
Mr. Chamberlain at 05 is among
the youngest men in the,house of
commons. He could very well pass
for ten years younger; in broad day
light and at times he looks positive
ly youthful. The last two or three
vears have touched his raven locks
with grav, but his figure is as slim
'
and alert as ever. The colonial
secretary is a striking proof of the
truth that everv man is a law unto
himself. He boasts of never hav¬
ing taken any physical, exercise and
walks only when it is impossible to
ride. Yet he always appears to be
in perfect “training,” and a touch
of gout now and then is the only re
minder the right honorable gentle
man gets that flesh is mortal.—
London Chronicle.
Bombarding the Clouds.
The plan of protecting vineyards
from the ravages of hailstorms
seems to have been successful in
part only, if at all. in France and in
Italy. Some experiments have been
made in both countries, but the in¬
ference drawn up to this tim6 seems
to be that whole parks of artillery
containing many guns of large cali¬
ber will be needed if reasonable se¬
curity against hail is to be insured.
Ami it is not altogether certain as
yet that oven if hundreds of 1G inch
guns were to be discharged at short
intervals the protection would be
complete. The bombardment of the
heavens cannot yet be considered
effectual.
A College of Matrimony.
There is some talk of establishing
a women’s college of matrimony, to
be located in Chelsea. England,
where the duties of a wife will be¬
come the subject of a two years’
course of study. The curriculum
will embrace not only the usual
branches of housewifery, such as
cooking, serving and laundry work,
but is intended to deal with physi¬
ology and medicine as well, so that
the students will receive mental dis
tipline in connection with the man
tal training.

A Life of Accidents.
Rebecca Wampler, said to be
years old, who died the other

accidents during her life. At
age of G v'ears she fell from a
fence and broke her finger. In
she broke her ankle, in 1SG5 she
down a cellar and broke her
bone and three ribs, in 1SS5 in a
runaway while returning from

cle and her right hip broken, in
1SSS she slipped and fell on
pavement, breaking her left hip;
in 1892 she broke her left leg at the
knee, in 1S9G she fell from a tree,
breaking her arm; in 1898 she fell
out of bed, breaking her right arm,
and in 1900 she broke her right hip
for the second time.
Fascinating Abdul Hamid.
The character of Abdul Hamid
must obviously have many facets.
The latest of his visitors is Dr

ports that ho is perfectly charming.

the latest developments of modern

one somehow associates with the
