The Man and the Woman.
A man will run as fast as he can to
cross a railroad track in front of a train.
Then he will watch it till it goes out of
sight. Then he will walk leisurely
away. He seems to be all right, and
probably is. That is a man.

her a nickle back.
Then she will open the satchel and

Andrew Lang in Longman's recalled
eertain slips of the novelists. They
too, have their loose ends:
"A skilled person might make a pleas
ant essay on what we may call the
dropped threads of novelists. Thus
Pip's vision of Miss Havlsham hanging
to a beam in the deserted brewery has
always puzzled me. It seems to have
been meant to lead to something othei
than what occurs. In Mr. Marion
Crawford's 'Taquisara' much turns on
an entranced medium who could give
two strokes in the hole and a beating
to Mrs. Piper. We expect her successes
to be normally explained, because
stress is laid on her one eyed servant,
whose one eye (blue) marks her as the
sister of her mistress. Boslo observes
this; the poisoner, Matilda, does not,
Apparently something was to hang on
that fact. If so, the thread was drop
ped. Again, why had Charles Wogan
clay on his clothes at the end of 'Clem
entina?' I.ike the priest in the 'Lays
of Ancient Home,'
"I know, but may not tell."
Edith's horror at meeting Florence in
the darkling house of Mr. Dombey is a
dropped thread which Dickens tried to
take up, but failed. Research would
probably discover many such in
stances."
Queer Dolmen of a lllfle Ball.
I myself made the most extraordina
ry shot at an antelope that I ever
heard of, which, however, has nothinfe
to do with good shooting, but rather
with the erratic course that a rHIe ball
may take. With several scouts, white
men and Indians, I rode over a hill to
see three or four buck antelope spring
to their feet, run a short distance and
then stop to look. I made a quick frtiot
at one, which dropped, and ongoing to
him I found him not dead, though des
perately wounded. The animal had
been standing broadside on, his face to
ward my left. The ball had struck
the left elbow, splintering the olecra
non; passed through the brisket, bro
ken the right humerus, turned at right
angles and gone back, cutting several
ribs; broken the right femur, theu
turned again at right angles and come
out through the inside of the leg and
struck the left hock joint, which it dis
locatefl and twisted off so that it hung
by a very narrow string of hide. I
never again expect to see so extraordi
nary a course for a rifle ball.—Outing.
Oyateri.
As a matter of interest there is but
one species of oyster, Ostrea virginica,
along the eastern coast of North Amer
ica. The western coast has at least live
species, but only two of these are of
rnlf)ortanee, and thes<? 4o not compare
with the eastern shellfish. Thus It is
apparent that a Blue Point, a Provi
dence river and a Chesapeake bay oys
ter are one and the same thing so for as
species is concerned. The difference is
merely in food supply and conditions in
growth.
The oyster is rich in phosphates, but
Is almost entirely lacking in fat mak
ing, muscle building material and those
elements which goto make up physical
force and vitality. While it is whole
some and easily assimilated, the actual
food value of the oyster is not sufficient
to rank it with our great food fishes—
the cod, haddock, mackerel, etc.—-Goad

Change of Venae.
(McKean Democrat.)
Judge Ormerod, of Potter county,
who heard arguments in the several
cases against tht Erie and the Buffalo,
Rochester & Pittsburg railroads for a
change of venue, asked for by the de
fendent companies on the ground that
a fair trial could not be had in McKean
county, has just handed down his opin
ion in the cases, which is to the effect
that the causes will bo tried in Camer.
on county. These snits grew out of the
destruction of oil and other property in
this county by forest fires sometime
since, which the plaintiffs allege were
caused by the defendant companies'
locomotives. The copying of the rec
ords of the various suits will, it is as
serted, take four typewriters six weeks
to do the work. H. E. Tull has charge
of this big job, and he and his assist
ants are now busily engaged in the
work.
Death of War Governor's Widow.
Mrs. Catherine I. Curtin, widow of

Forty-ninth Congresses, died very
suddenly on Monday, at Bellefonte, of
apoplexy, aged 84 years. Mrs. Curtin
had been shopping. She went home
to luucheon, was stricken while eating
and died within an hour. One son
a nd three daughters survive her.
