SOMEWHAT STRANGE.' ACCIDENTS AND INCIDENTS OF EVERYDAY LIFE. Queer Episodes and Thrilling Adven tures Which Show that Truth is Stranger than Fiction. A CURIOUS freak of a somnambulist re cently occurred near Dewitteville, N. Y., which nearly cost the sleep-walker, Horace Ransome, his life. Ransome is £ a young man, but has always been mor bidly afraid of venturing into the water; but on a recent night arose from his bed while asleep, and made his way to a large submerged rock about fifty feet from the of Lake Chautauqua.* Ran some says that he is entirely ignorant of the act of swimming, never having been in water over two feet deep in his life, but it is said that it is an impossibility for him to have reached the spot where he was found without swimming, and the only conclusion to be arrived at is that he must have unconsciously struck out on finding himself in the lake. An other remarkable feature of the affair is how the somnambulist could have re mained asleep after entering the water, which is quite cold, but the adventure was too perilous to have been a hoax. Ransome was found a short while after dawn standing on the rock and holding j) up his head to keep himself from drown ™ ing, the water reaching nearly to his chin. He was utterly prostrated with the shock and the exertion, and for some days suffered inteusly from rheumatism brought on by his cold bath. He says his first knowledge of what he bad done was when he found himself endeavoring to keep his footing on the slippery rock, and was then afraid to try to swim to the shore. He has a faint recollection of having a dream, in which a woman was drowning before his eyes, and of plung ing in to save her. THERE is much excitement over the discovery of a portion of the treasure buried by the Bonner party in 1840-7. In the early days of gold excitement the Bonner party attempted to cross the mountains into California by an untried pass. They were snowed up in the moun tains, and suffered great hardships, many dying from cold and starvation. Relief expeditions were sent out, and a > few survivors were rescued. During their sufferings tho party buried a quan tity of treasure, the amount of which, is estimated by some at SIO,OOO. A search has frequently been made for this treasure, but .without success. There is authentic history of the burial of several hundred dollars by Mrs. Graves, one of the members of the party, on March 3, 1847, near the shores of Donner Lake, j and it is supposed it was this money which was found recently by a miner named Reynolds, who was prospecting on the hillside near the lake. He found a spot where tho earth had been torn up by a fallen tree, and his attention was accidentally called to some dark-looking pieces of metal lying on the top of the | ground. lie picked up ten one dollar pieces, and upon investigation uncovered a large quantity of silver. The coins are I antiquated, of all dates prior to 1843. TIIE old Jacob Tourtellottc homestead ! in Bust Thompson, Mass., which was built over one hundred years ago, has obtained great local notoriety from a cu rious incident. For many years Mr. and Mrs. Windsor Bates and Mrs. Sally Bates, mother of Windsor Bates, lived there and were known as industrious, plain honest people. Mrs. Sally Bates died March 20, 1885, at the age of nine ty-live. Some time ago a travelling pho tographer took a view of the premises. The pictuie shows the house from the front with Mr. Bates holding a horse, and his wife seated on a chair, while at one of the windows in the sitting-room can be seen the life-like picture of Mr. j Bates' dead mother, Mrs. Sally Bates. The face stands out clear and bright, and has been recognized by many former friends and acquaintances. Mr. Bates - says that when the house was taken not a picture of any kind was hanging in the room. Nor is it a reflection from any one standing by. He says it was the custom of his mother, when attracted to the front of the house, to rush up to this very window, stand on tiptoe and peer up aud down the road exactly as the image appears in tho photograph. FT. WORTH, Texas, possesses a cow which is unique in being carniverous and a cannibal, /is well as an infanticide. Her peculiar propensity was discovered while she was yet a calf by the finding of the bones of a cat, which was in the habit of frequenting the stall where she was con fined, and the blood smear d upon the calf's mouth revealed the startling fact that puss hud actually been eaten by her. Since then she lias been seen to catch mice and rats venturing near her aud de vour them alive, while she has twice killed and eaten her day-old calves. She exhibits no peculiarity beyond her car nivorous appetite, but appears gentle enough, ana has never been known to be- ill humoredly, except when insight of freshly-killed meat or when shown blood. She is of common breed, and was calved on the ranch of William Sunder land, in Potter County, and is now the property of James Link. She feeds on grass, corn, etc., but will eat eagerly any moisel of meat thrown her, and for sev eral days after tasting flesh will refuse with disgust all other food. She is now nearly six years old. ON his recent homeward trip from San Francisco C. P. Huntington aud his party had a unique experience. The special train bearing them left San Fran cisco, aud, after passing through some beautiful sections of country, stopping at Oroville, Los Angeles. Santa Monica, Deming, El Paso, San Antonio, aud Houston, approached New Orleans. For about twenty miles before reaching the last-named city the train passed over a soft, yielding track through what ap peared to be a lake. That particular section of country was flooded from the great crevasse in the Mississippi River about five miles above New Orleans. This lake was full of large black snakes, many of which stretched their repulsive bodies across the track. Some of them were five feet long and as thick as a man's arm. Neither the flood nor the reptiles stopped the train. THOMAS RODBARD, aged 81 years, died recently at his residence in Germantown, of paralysis of the heart. He had a pre sentiment of when he would die, and expired at that hour. He told his daughter-in-law that he would draw his last 'breath at 11 o'clock. Ten minutes }>revious to that hour he reminded her of lis statement, and as the hour drew high he grew weaker and quietly passed away. Two Frenchmen appealed at a linen factory in Jaroslay, in the Volga, a few weeks ago, and told the manufacturer that they were French Commissioners with an order for a cloth case in which to wrap the Eiffel Tower in winter. They presented so many sealed documents and letters with the signatures of celebrated Frenchmen that the manufacturer swal lowed their marvelous story and agreed to take the huge contract. The "com missioner 1 ' required from him $1,200 as an earnest of hi* intention to turn out the tower's new clothes and left him with directions that he should g > to Paris at once to communicate further with the city officials and to measure the tower. He went, with several assistants who were to help him determine the details of the undertaking, and thereby spent S3OO more to learn that he had been swindled. THE Osage Indians are the wealthiest redskins in the United States. They have a large fund to draw upon in tho United States Treasury, and it is esti mated that each member of the Osage tribe—men, women and children—is worth $15,000. Outside of the Osage tribe are many individual Indians who are growing rich. This is especially true of the members of the five civilized tribes—the Cherokces, Creeks, Choc saws, and Seminolcs—which live in the Indian Territory and have a government of their own. The interest money due them by the Government is paid to them regularly without question, because they are perfectly competent to take care of their own affairs. Many of them are well to do; and if all of their race had their business ability there is no reason why the majority should not be inde pendent. ACCORDING to the New York World 44 The blue-jay liar who hails from As toria, Cal., is about as picturesque as any. He says that Andrew Young recently discovered that blue-jays were digging up potatoes, flying with them iu their bills and dropping them into a hole in a hollow tree on his ranch for future use. The potatoes fell through to the ground, and Mr. Young immediately had a large idea. He harvested the po tatoes on his own ranch aud the blue jays then turned their attention to tho potato patches of his neighbors. This matter arranged, Mr. Young carried the potatoes away in a sack as fast as the birds dropped them into the tree, and in this way he harvested fifty bushels as a gift via the blue-jay express from his neighbors. The snake liar will have to eat some attic salt and brighten up his faculties." A YOUNG man living in a suburban village of Paris, France, who for a long time has been unable to walk without crutches, astonished his friends by rising at midnight of a recent day and walking ten miles without artificial aid. He then returned to bed and awoke next morning with no feeling of weariness and entirely oblivious of what had occurred. His physicians arc puzzled. MANY people, one time and another, have had no roof for their heads; but Peter Conlin, of the Ohio Penitentiary, is probably the flrst instance of a man having no roof for his mouth. There is an abnormal opening up into his head three or four inches deep, which he has to keep tilled with cotton so that his food will not get into it. A NATURAL curiosity made its appear ance on a breakfast table in New York city recently. Within a fresh Leghorn hen's egg, of the usual size, was found what appeared to be a perfectly formed egg about as big as a sparrow's egg, lack ing only the hard shell, but inclosed in a membrane remarkably tirm. A VERITABLE curiosity has been cap tured in Africa. It is an elephant larger than the lsite lamented Jumbo, pea-green in color, trunkless, and has tusks that brauch out something like the horns of a deer. It is in possession of a native king, who will not part with it. JAWS OF BEASTS. Queer Ways in Which Some of Them Are Fastened. "Jaws are funny things. The croco dile's lower jaw is not socketed in tho skull, as is the case with other animals, but the skull is socketed in tho jaw, so that the animal can lift the upper part of its head as upon a hinge, and so capturo whatever prey may be at hand without going to the troubUi.of getting upon its legs. This is a great saving of exertion to the saurian, which delights in wooing soft repose upon the buxom mud bank. It wa9 Herodotus, the father of history, who flrst commented in recorded writing upon this surprising circumstance re specting the crocodile." So Osteologist Lucas of the Smith sonian Institution was saying to a Star writer, and ho added: "You can And another example of na ture's adaptation to the jaw to use in the case of certain carnivores, like the otter - a big we/ BJI that lias acquired aquatic habits. The jaws of such beasts are so fixed in the sockets that dislocation is im possible. In some instances you cannot, even after the animal is dead, separate the jaw from the head. This arrange ment is evidently designed to enable the beast to bile to the greatest advantage without danger that tho chewiug appa ratus will come loose. "The elephant's jaw, on the other hand, not being intended for biting but for grinding vegetable food, is an appendage almost separate from the rest of the skull. Although enormously h avy it lias only a small articulation connecting it with the upper skull, and its whole weight is carried by the muscles, in which it may bo said to be slung, so that it can grind back and forth. "A snake's lower jaw is attached to a sort of outrigger extending back from its skull. Also the two halves of the jaw arc connected by elastic ligaments, so that it'tinds no dilliculty in so stretch ing its mouth sideways and perpendicu larly as to be able to swallow animals much bigger than itself. Some deep sea Ashes are similarly rigged. "The human jaw is very loosely sock eted in the skull, so that it is often dis located by the mere net of yawning. Not being intended for biting purposes, offensive or defeusivc, no attention seems to have been paid by nature in making it fast. "While we are speaking on this sub ject I may as well show you this little stuffed Ash, which has no more popular name than 'autennarius.' It angles for smaller Ashes with this appendage on top of its head, which is designed to imitate a worm. The autennarius keeps its imitation worm wriggling just above its mouth and, when a victim comes within reach, it is gobbled promptly, the jaw of the angler being set vertically in stead of horizontally, so that it can re ceive the game by simply opening at the top, a gentle suction assisting the per fonnauce."—[Washington Star.

FOUND BY HIS FAMILY. A Soldier at Last Regains the San ity He Lost at Shiloh. All doubt as to the identity of the poor, half-demented old soldier, the pa thetic story of whose wanderings from poor house to poor house since he was reported killed at the battle of Shiloh has been told in the newspapers, has now been cleared up. Though his faithful old wife and other relatives felt sure they recognized hini us William Newby, his owu memory was very weak and indistinct at first. There were neighbors, too, who doubted still that the veritable William Newby had come back. They had cause when they thought of the long-dead soldier lying in the Shiloh trenches and ac counted for on the army records as. Wil liam Newby. They had deeper cause to doubt when they saw the strauge wreck claimed to be William Newby look into the faces of his wife and chil dren and mutter sadly: t4 I do not know you. I was never married." But on Saturday, says a recent letter from Mill Shoals, 111., to the New York World, the awakening came. Standing opposite his wliitc-haired wife, with her voice still sounding in his ears and the familiar scenes of his boyhood spreadiug before his eyes, memory returned to William Newby in a flash. 4, Phcb," said the poor old wreck, calling his wife by the dear name he had murmured in farewell thirty years be fore, 4 'l know you uow. You are my wife and I have come home to you ami the children." And the faithful woman who had been waiting hopefully, but fearfully, for such a recognition burst out sobbing and threw her arms around her husband's neck. "I knew you the very moment I set eyes on you, William," she cried. "I would have known you anywhere." On Sunday last there was a big dinner at the Ncwby farm. The entire Newby family was there. During the progress of the meal the old man laid down his knife and fork, and looked long and earnestly at his wife. "I declare, Pheb," he said, "I don't believe you've changed a bit since the day I left you to go to the frout. It must have been the fault of my old eyes that I didn't know you at flrst." During the days following the sudden return of his memory Newby had evinced the most insatiate curiosity as to the life of his family in the many years of his absence, seeking to trace a resemblance between the children of 18G1 and tho middle-aged men aud women of 1891. He was especially interested in hearing how his wife had "managed" as a widow, and whether his loved ones had known "hard times" while he was wan dering half-witted and helpless. Mrs. Newby is still hardly able to talk of her husband's homeless wander ings without tears. "I can stand all the story well enough," she said, "except when I think of his having been in the White County Poor house right here, three miles from his own home, for eighteen months before we found him. That seems cruel al most." "And its the poorest poorhouse I struck in all my experience," said Newby, laughing, "even if it is in my own county." It transpires that about two years ago Newby drifted through his native county. Within two miles of his own farm his own nephew took the pitiful-looking tramp into his house aud gave him a good dinner. Newby told his wife of this Sunday, adding: "And you know, Pheb, everything seemed mighty familiar to me then, but somehow or other I couldn't straighten it out, and I went away just like a stranger." Newby is now able to tell a lucid story of what happened to him after he fell at Shiloh. lie was flrst shot in the leg and then in the head, the latter wound ren dering him unconscious. When he again knew what w/is going on he was a pris oner on the way to Andersonville. Ho lound he had been taken from the field the very night of the flight. After his release from Andersonville came the long years of lialf-crazed wandering and poor house existeuce. Finally, just how loug ngo Newby does not remember, there crept into his mind a feeling that he must "get back to Illinois." It is now known that the dead soldier lying in the trenches at Shiloh, for thirty years thought to be Newby, is the miss ing Hy Morris, of Company C, Fortieth Illinois Volunteers. His mystery has been cleared with that of William Newby. Consultation at Sea. A certain physician in a large New England town had acquired an unenvia ble reputation for making his bills as large as possible without much regard to the state of his patients' purses. There were people who furthermore said that it really seemed as if there were "visits" on hi 9 bills which never had existeuce unywhere else. But he was a skilful physician, and his tendency to overrate his services only served to amuse some of his patients who had plenty of money, and were not especially sharp in looking after it. "Why," said one mau to another, speaking of the doctor, "he brought my daughter Jeunie up from her attack of pneumonia, when two other physicians had said there was no hope for her; but when she wus quite well again he charged me for three culls he made, to "inquire iu a friendly way how she was getting on!" "That seems a little forced," admitted the other man, "but it's nothing com pared to an experience I had with him, at the seashore a year ago. We happened to be in bathing at the same time one day, and I swam up to him, aud inquired for his wife. " 'She's very well,' said the doctor. " 'And your daughters?' I asked. " 'They're perfectly well,both of them,' replied he, rather shortly, I thought. So I said, 'l'm delighted to hear it; remem ber me to them,' and swam away. "And what do you think I received from him a week or two later? An itemized bill—one item. " 'To consultatiou at sea, five dol lars 1'" Although no ono has ever seen that bill, the story clings to the doctor's name to this day, after a lapse of many years.—[Youth's Companion.

Who Are You T A citizen of Detroit, who has resided here for nearly twenty years, and who has for the past dozen years run a small oarpenter shop on liis own hook, got a check on one of the hanks the other day and stepped in to have it cashed. -Have to be identified, sir," replied the cashier, as he handed back the paper. "But I am John Blank, the careen* ter." "Possibly yon are, but you'll have to bring some one who knows you." "I'll bring twenty in five minutes!" somewhat tartly exclaimed the man as he walked out. Standing on the steps of the bank he scanned the faces of the passers-by, and to his own great surprise it was ten min utes before he saw the phiz of a friend. The two entered the bank, and the latter said to the cashier: "I know tliie man to be John Blank." "But, who are you?" "I'm Stephen Dash." "Never heard of you. He must bring some one whom I know is responsi ble." "See here! This is all nonsense I" exclaimed the owner of the check, who was in a hurry. "Perhaps so," was the cool reply. "Mr. Dash, do you positively know this man to be John Blank?" "Of course I do." "Have you ever had a legal paper with his signature?" "No-o." "Ever pay him an account or (collect one by that name?" "I guess not." "Could you safely make affidavit that that is his real name?" "I—l—don't believe I could. I've just heard him called John Blank.'. Mr. Blank brought in three othor men, each one of whom Btarted in with the greatest confidence, but came out of the littio end of the horn when asked the usual questions. At length he re mombered a man to whom he sold a piece of property to three or four years ago, and he walked half a mite to bring him to the bnuk. "You identify him as John Blank, do you ?" queried the teller. "Well, he signed that name to the deed." "Would you make oath that he is the same person ?" "Um! Um! I think he is.", "But will you sign a bond to make this S2OO good if he isn't?" "Oh, no! Now that I look at him more closely I begin to see a differ ence." "What!" shouted Blank. "Haven't I lived within stone's throw of you for ten years? "Y-e-s," was the hesitating reply. "Didn't I build your barn for you?" "I—l gness you did." "Haven't you seen me almost every day for years and years?" "Well, I've seen you or somebody who looks very much like you, I think you are John Blank, but of course I can't swear to it." The money was paid and the teller afterwards said: "He was the right party, of course, but had I carried out our rule to the letter I doubt if he could have found a man among all his neighbors to swear to his identity. I don't believe we have ten men in Detroit who can prove their legal identity without taking an hour's time to do it.

A cook was much annoyed to find his pastry shelves attacked by ants. By careful watching it was discovered that they came out twice a day in search of food, at about 7 in the morning and 4 in the afternoon. How were the pies to be protected against the invaders? He did not have long to wait, for at G:SO o'clock he noticed that off in the left-hand corner of the puntry was a line of ants slowly making their way in the direction of the pies. They seemed like a vast army coming forth to attack the enemy. In front was a leader, who was larger than any of the others, and who always kept a little ahead of his troops. They were of the sort known as the medium-sized red ant, which is regarded as the most intelligent of its kind, whoso scientific name is formica rubra. About forty ants out of the 500 stepped out and joined the leader. The general and his aids held a couucil, and then proceeded to examine the circle of mo lasses. Certain portions of it seemed to be as&igued to the different ants, and each selected unerringly the point in the section under his charge where the stream of molassos was narrowest. Then the leader made his tour of in spection. The order to march was given, and j the ants all made their way, to a hole i in the wall in which the plastering was loose. Z Here they broke ranks and sot about carrying pieces of plaster to the place in the molasses which had been ugreed upon as the narrowest. To and fro they went, from the nail hole to the molasses, until at 11:30 o'clock they had thrown a bridge across. They then formed themselves in line and marched over, and by 11:45 every ant was eating pie. Chicago Tribune, Ambiguous, He is a very discreet man who nover says either too much or too little.

"My acquaintance with your remedy, Boschee's German Syrup, was made about fourteen years ago, when I contracted a Cold which resulted in a Hoarseness and a Cough which disabled me from filling my pulpit for a number of Sabbaths. After trying a Physician, without obtaining relief— l cannot say now what remedy he prescribed — I saw the advertisement of your remedy and obtained a bottle. I received such quick and permanent help from it that whenever we have had Throat or Bronchial troubles since in our family, Boschee's Ger man Syrup lias been our favorite remedy and always with favorable results. I liave never hesitated to report my experience of its use to I others when I have found them troubled in like manner." IYE, Editor. Buftalo. N. Y.
