SOMEWHAT STRANGE. ACCIDENTS AND INCIDENTS OF EVERY-DAY LIFE. Queer Episodes and Thrilling Adven tures Which Show that Truth Is Stranger than Fiction. AN Indian boy belonging to the .Sioux tribe, at Pine Ridge Agency, in South Dakota, has a pair of pets which are not ouly strange and interesting, but arc use ful as well. These are two large bald eagles. Tho young Indians at the agency are fond of hunting, but are not allowed to own or carry guns, and tho ro sult is that tbey are compelled to use tho bow and arrow, which they use with great expertness. The boy shot an old eagle and wounded it. It flow to its nest, and ho followod until he saw where tho home of tho bird was. Ho then killed tho wounded bird, and waited till its mate appeared, and also killed it. Climbing to the nest, ho found two young onos, which he took home with him and began a course of training which has resulted in his having the birds so fully undor control that they come and go at his com mand. Ho takes them out, and whon ho sights any quarry he turns his eagles loose, after fastening thoir bonks so that they cannot eat the animal, and the birds immediately give chase and bring down the prey. The eagles are now ab,out a year and a half old, and aro large and strong enough to bring down a fawn. Tho boy is tho most successful hunter of tho tribe, and never goes out without bringing homo some game, from a rabbit to a deer. The officers at this place want tho eagles, and have offered tho boy what probably appeared to him to bo fabulous sums for them, but he steadily refuses all offers. THE other morning Frank Smiley, who up to a your ugo was in business at Franklin, Inch, and who now resides in Indianapolis, dropped into the former place. No ono knew him. The Frank Smiley whom every ono knew wore a full beard and mustache and had a very thick growth of hair. The apparent stranger had an entirely bald head, smooth face, no eyelushos or eyebrows. He ap proached several lifelong friends, but no ono recognized him. Then entering tho grocery store where ho had dealt for years ho asked tho grocer if he know him. The grocer looked and shook his head. "Why, lam Frank Smiley," said tho caller, and ho told this story: "Not long ago I had a severe attack of la grippe. My head roared constantly. One morning while sitting at tho break fast table 1 saw that some hairs had fall en into my plate. I put. my hand to my mustache and it fell off in bunches. 1 next put my hand to my head and my hair fell out in the same way. I went to a barber and ho rubbed a solution on my head, but instead of helping it ho rubbed every remaining hair off. My beard, eyelashes, and eyebrows came out in the samo muiinor and 1 have not had a shavo since. Hut my headache left me and I never felt better in my life." GIUSEPPE PALMKRI, a young Italian lawyer, was defending John Salrnono bo for Kccorder Smyth, in the Court of Gen eral Sessions in New York. Tho de fendant was accused of snatching sls from a friend in Mott street and running uwuy. Tho lawyer nskod his oliont if it were not a fact that it wus impossible for him to have run, because his log hnd been recently broken. "I will tell you, for your own information," remarked the Kocorder to the young lawyer, "that ex perience has shown that scarcely any thing is impossible. 1 had a man tried before mo some time ago, charged with robbing a drunken sailor of his watch and chain. Ho did not have any arms, both having been cut off in an accident. His lawyer tried to convinco the jury that it was impossible for tho prisoner to hovo robbed tho sailor becauso of the fact that he had no arms. Tho ovidonco was strongly against him and tho jury found him guilty. Ilefore 1 sentenced him I found that ho was well known along the water fronts as an oxpert thief. Ho abstracted the sailor's watoh and chain with his tcotli. Ho is now in State prison doing a long term. You see, scarcoly anything is impossible." Tho ury convicted Sulmono. TIIK Baltimore quad in the Western Union office had boon keeping four op erators in Now \ ork and four more in Baltimore very busv when it suddenly refused to work. Thoro wore no other instruments available and connection with Baltimore was completely lost. Messages were piling up on the table and tho traffic chief, whose business it is to soo that there is no dolay to dispatches, was almost distracted. Electricians were sent for and they began a thorough examination of tho instruments. After half un hour s search tho source of tho troblo was discovered. It proved to bo a Croton bug. It stood on the instru ment which regulates tho passage of tho electric current from tho dynamo to tho wiro in such away as to connect with its fore and hind legs tho positive and the ncgutivo currents of tho battery, which are necessarily separated by insu lation. The bug was dead, of course, and the current of 250 volts had fuirly glued it to tho bolt, thereby forming a conductor and temporarily interrupting business botween New York and Balti more for more than half an hour. MR. THOMAS STEVENS in his book "Through Russia on a Mustang" de scribes u visit 'to a convent cemotery in St. Petersburg, lie writes: Tho weird est thing in tho cemetery was a gruvo that is simply a glass house, containing a vault or cellur with a trap-door and stops leading down into it. The sister told us its story. After twenty years of married life, during which their prayer for otlspring had been unanswered, a couple were finally presented with a duughtor in 1873. Three years later tho now-comor died. The unhappy parents had tho body em balmed and phced in a coffin with a glass opening above tho face. Tho tomb in question was built and tho coffin deposited in tho crypt. Every day for fourteen years past tho mother had visited tho liouso, descended through tho trap-door, and spent some time look ing into the faco of the little ono through the glass. No change had taken place in its appearance. This lust item was told us with a ring of honest pride in her voice, as indicating tho peculiar fitness of tho convent cemetery us a place of buriul. DR. BALDWIN, of St. Louis says: "One day a railroud enginocr came into my office in groat puin. lie had a bandage over his right eye. 4 I am suf fering frightfully, doctor,' he said, 'with my eye. There is something in it. I was running my engino ut a high rate of speed, with my head out of tho cab win dow, looking down tho track to see that thoro was no obstruction. I passed through a lot of grasshoppers, and ono of thorn struck me in the eye.' I exumincd the mau's eye, and, sure enough, tho logs of tho hopper had penetrated the poor fellow's eye and were giving him great pain. The saw-like legs had almost com pletely filled up the eye. I placed him under tho influonco of other and began tho operation of extracting the grass hopper's legs. After a todious job I suc ceeded in removing the impediment, and the man got well without his sieht boing affected. DAVID RAUDEBAUGH, a prominent citi zen of Mechanicsburg, Ohio, had a tooth which caused him considerable pain. On a recent night he retired as usuul, with the intention of visiting the dentist the followiug morning and having the molar extracted. Upon awakening in the morning he was startled by finding bis pillow and shirt-bosom covered with blood, and an investigation disclosed the tooth lying upon the bod-clothing close by. Ho had suffered no pain sufficient to awaken him during tho night, and how the tooth ever became detached from bis jaw remains a mystorv which is not likely ovorto bo explained. A number of Spiritualists in tho community claim to bo able to furnish a key to the mystery and say that they hail knowledge that tho extracting of tho tooth would oocuras it did. THE story told by Col. Knollys of the way tho Kimbcrley Kaffirs smoke cigars with the lighted end in tho mouth was related recently. Travelers on the Isth mus of Panama and in Central and South America say that the samo queer way of smoking is quite gonoral there. On the Isthmus, however, it is confined to women, tho native Indians, and half breeds. Nearly all the women smoke in that manner. They do not tuck the tongue in the cheek, as it is said tho Kaffirs do, but press it down in tho bot tom of tho mouth. Many persons who have tried tho method say thero is some thing peculiarly pleasant in that kind of a smoke. LYMAN PUSSHEE, of Dennysville, Mo., had a unique experience in hunting deer. Ho was lying in wait for a deer when, almost without warning, throe lino ani mals cumo into an opening a short dis tance from tho place of his concealment; they wore two docs and a buck. Open ing fire, one of the does fell, and the others ran away. Pussheo, still remain ing in hiding, was soon rewarded by the return of tho buck to his dead inato. A shot, followed by others, failed to bring tho noble fellow down, and again and again did ho roturn, until cloven shots had boon fired at him, when ho fell a victim to constancy. A PHYSICIAN who spent some time in tho countries bordering on tho Gulf of Mexico, fouud a curious body of men among the natives called Curados do Calebra, or the safe from vipers. Hav ing been inoculutod with tne poison of the serpents they were proof against their venomous bites. Tho inoculation was made with the venom tooth of a viper and the bulb of a native plant culled mano del sapo (toad's hand). Tho pre ventive inoculation has been an old cus tom among the natives of that region. ONE of tho biggest rocks evor moved in the course of railroad construction in this country was recently exoavatod ou the line of tho Mexican Southern by Col. Lamar. Tho giant boulder was 120 feet in height and measured 1,000 cubic metres. Six dynamite cartridges were placed under the rock nfter vhe men had excavated as much earth as possiblo and v ore fired one after another. At tho sixth explosion tho big fellow rolled over out of the way. A III.ACKSMITII in Belfast, Me., rolatos that forty years ago, when ho was an ap prentice. his employer bought a super annuated horse for 50 eeuts, ordored him to shoo the animal, and sold it, with its four now shoes, for 75 cents. Tho ap prentice was so incensed nt having his work valued at only 25 cents that he took an oath then and thorc never to shoo an other horse, and ho never has, although ho has been in tho blacksmith business over since. THE Rev. S. Zehner, of Berwick, Penn., awoke suddenly from a deep sleep and found that his fulso teeth wore miss ing. 11c thought ho felt a choking sen sation. Two doctors were sent for. They could give no relief. The minister gasped for breath. Ho bade farewell to his family and thought ho was going to die. His little daughter soon found tho missing teeth in a bureau drawer, whon tho patient at once recovered. A criuocß discovery has been made at lialstoad, near Cambridge, England, us to tho cause of a fire which took place there. On taking oft* tho roof ot the house which had been on fire, it was found that a quantity of straw stuff nnd rubbish had been carried by birds be tween tho roof and tho coiling of the upper room, and this had been ignited from a hole in tho chimney. About two sucks of rubbish had been accumulated. Fleet Signaling by Balloon* Attempts have frequently been mado both on shore and at sea to transmit signals by means of a captive balloon, and a system which promised excellent results, has recently been tried in tho German Navy. By its means an admiral can signal his fleet, at night, or to ships passing by, at a far greater distance than is now possible, as, owing to its height, tho nalloon gives much wider range than a masthead. The code adopted is tho Morse; and tho different signals aro g von by means of incandes cent electric lamps fitted to the lower part of tho balloon, and worked by wires con nected with the batteries on shore or on tho flagship. Tho balloon can also be used f;r lighting up tho country round, and for this purpose a powerful electric lamp, with a strong refh ctor, is attached to the lower ring of the balloon. It is not necessary to have a man in the car of tho balloon to work tho signals, as the lumps are entirely worked by electricity, and only come in contact with the-cover of the balloon when the electric current is turned off. Justice Was to Prevail. Tho mothods of tho circumlocution oftico wore graphically discussed by Charles Dudloy Warner at a gathering of story tellers in New York tho other night. Thoro was once u robber in Cairo who fell from the second story of a house he was trying to enter and broke his leg. Thereupon ho wont to tho cadi and complainod. Tho man's window was badly made and ho wanted justice. The cadi said that was reasonable, and he summoned the owner of tho house. The owner confessed that tho house was poorly built, but olainiod that tho ear pentor was to blume not ho. This struck the cadi us sound logic, nnd ho sent for tho carpenter. "The chargo is, alas, too true," said tho carpenter, "but the ma sonry was at fault, and I couldn't fit a good window." So tho cadi, impressed with the reasonableness of the argument, sent for tho mason. Tho mason pleaded guilty, but explained that a pretty girl in a blue gown hud passod tho building while he was at work, and that his atten tion had been diverted from his work. The cadi thereupon demanded that the girl bo brought before him. "It is true that lam pretty," said she, "but it is no fault of mine. If my gown attracted the mason, the dyer shonla be punished and \iot I." "Qnite true," suid the cadi, "send for tho dyer." The dyer was brought to tho bar nnd pleaded guilty. T hat settled it. The cadi told the robber to tako tho guilty wretch to his house and hang him from tho door sill, and the Sopulaco rejoiced that justice had been one. But pretty soon tho crowd re turned to tho cadi's house, complaining that tho dyer was too long to bo hung from his door sill. "Oh well," said the cadi, by that time was suffering from ennui, "go find a short dyer and hang him. Justice shall prevail."— [Boston Herald. Pennsylvania Pelt-Hunters. The amateur trappors and hunters of the Lebanon and Schuylkill valleys are now reaping their harvest by securing the skins of tho small wild unimals so prevalent, in Berks, Lebanon, Montgom ery, Lancaster, Lehigh, and other coun ties. and sending them to some of the leading furriers in the country. Tho foxes, skunks, opossums, raccoons, muskrats, and other animals caught in . these counties for thoir fur alone number thousands annually. In a single season Reading dealers huvo alone purchased and shipped to Philadelphia, New York and other furriers as high as 25,000 to 50,000 skins. This year theso animals have been exceedingly plentiful, and tho shipments have been very heavy. Some of tho finest skins are sent from Phila delphia and New York to the centers of tho fur trado in Germany and elsewhere, nnd there prepared according to methods with which they alone seem conversant, aftor which they are again sent back to this country in a finished state, and bring high prices. Many farmers' boys make extra pocket money by trapping these animals, and thoir traps can bo found in tho flolds, in the woods, and along tho streams. For the next few months tho slaughter of these animals will continue, and a successful season is anticipated. Now and then a wild-cat is shot, and some of the counties pay a bounty of $2.50 for killing one of these animals, and their skin is much sought after for rugs. The prices paid for furs this season depend greatly upon the < ondition they aro in whon thoy roach the local dealers. Black skunks are worth from sl.lO to $1.35, while the half-stripe range from 50 to 75 cents each, and tho full stripo from 25 to 35 cents ouch. Muskrats are worth 10 and 15 cents each. Minks command from 50 cents to $1 each, and rod foxes are worth 75 cents and $1.25 each, while gray foxes bring only from 50 to 75 cents. 'Possums are worth only 10 and 15 cents, but coons arc more val uable, running from 25 to 75 cents.— [Philadelphia Ledger. An Old-Time Clock. Thomas I). Bullingor, of Govanstown, is the owner of an antique work of mech anism. It is tho result of years of labor of an old clockmaker of Nurem berg, Germany. It is a clock with a framework of walnut, and stands eleven feet high. At tho top it is 3£ feet across, but tapers until at the centre it is only two foot wide. It rosts on a pedostal which is same width as tho top of tho clock. Tho dial is twelve inches in diameter, of white enamel and black figures. Tho dial sots in ahandsomo oil painting of David performing on a harp, anil a pretty woman with bowed head listening attentively to tho music. When the clock strikes tho hour two beautiful Gorman airs aro heard in suc cession, and on a platform above tho dial twelve small figures of men and women, about five inches high, danco in couples. Musicians are seated in the rear of tho figures, performing on tno cornet, drum and clarionet. A clown appears clapping his hands and moving his mouth. A figure appears on either side of tho platform and makes a polite bow. Tho clock plays twenty-four dif ferent tunes. The musical weight is of lead and woighs 125 pounds. Over 130 various pipes aro needed to play tho tunes. Tho ontiro clock weighs noarly 000 pounds. Tho machinery is extremely compli cated. The clock is over lot) years old. Mr. Henry Roifner, corner of Bank and Wolfe streets, recently repaired tho mu sical arrangement for Mr. Bullingor.— [Baltimore American. Australia's Size. Tho size of Australia is not generally appreciated. Tho seven colonies be tween them occupy a territory greater than that of the United States, excluding Aluska.

Down in Otoe County they havo resurrected an old story on Col. Van Wyck that will bear repitition in spite of its advanced years, says the Nebraska State Journal. When the ex-Senator was running for Cougress in the Fifteenth New York District party feeling was at fever heat, the war was just over and much of its bitterness lingered in the hearts of all men. There was a certain Irish man in Sullivan County who had steadfastly refused to give the old sol diers any encouragement, ulthougb they had labored with him faithfully. The Colonel was greatly surprised, therefore, when Pat informed him on election day that he had concluded to support him. "Clad to hear it, glad to hear it," said the Colonel; "I rather thought you were against me, Patrick." "Well sir," said Patrick, "I wuz and whin ye stud by me pig pen and talked that day fur two hours or worse, ye didn't budge me a hair's breadth, sir, but after ye wuz gone away I got to thinking how ye reached yer hand over the fence and scratched the pig on the back till he laid down wid the pleasures of it, and I made up me mind that whin a rale kernel was as sociable as that, I wasn't the man to vote agin him." c. Killed Jty Snakes In India. Probably not less than 50,000 people arc killed by snakes in India every year. They arc one of the chief causes of mortality in that country. Great efforts have been made by the British Government to de stroy them, but with very little success. Unfortunately the natives regard them as sacred. They con sider the cobra in particular as em bodying some sort of divinity, and it is customary for them to allow these frightful creatures as pets on their premises. Offers of bounties for ser pent's heads have been discouraged by the discovery of the practice pur sued by many low-caste Hindoos of breeding snakes artificially to supply the official demand. In that warm fcliraate snakes propogate their species very fast and their venom ac cumulates rapidly. Although the cobra is the most dreaded of all, the krait and other varities are hardly less deadly. They swarm everywhere. The cobras are especially fond of tak ing up their residence in gardens and under verandas. No cure for a cohra's bite is known to science, though there is good evidence that the native doctors sometimes rescue victims by remedies which tney keep secret.—Washington Star. Tlie Lunch I)ooh It. More rows arc caused in the busi ness world by indigestion than even the doctors know anything about. Our business men rise in a hurry, eat breakfast in a hurry and then hurry down town.

Although country editors are nearly always poor, there are plenty of per sons who believe that half the para graphs in a country newspaper are paid for with enormous bribes, writes the author of "A Country Town," in the Century. There are always two sides to every question, and which ever side an editor falls on, the par tisans of the other accuse him of be ing "bought." It is little wonder, therefore, that the editor is seldom a popular man; I never knew one who was, and I never knew one who was not often accused unjustly. Probably the people believe in bribes to editors because it is a very rare editor who does not accuse his opponent of being a bribe taker, creating a prejudice against themselves and their calling. Lazy and incompetent editors nearly always explain the success of their more vigorous opponents by declaring that they carry on a system of black mail. I once visited ia a large city the newspapers which I had long admired almost with reverence, and was sur prised to hear a citizen say that what the city really needed was better pa pers; they wouid bring "eastern capi tal. " Every citizen of a country town wants his locality "boomed," to the end that he may sell his SSO lot for $500; he can appreciate how a really good paper might aid him in this, and because his lot' does not advance in value as he thinks it should, he has a grievance against the editor. He longs for an editor with some "snap" in him. I don't know what "snap" means, but I know this is the quality usually thought to be lacking. There are more great men in every country town than really exist in the entire nation, and if they are not recognized the local papers are of no account. I was once bothered a good deal by a certain man who said he could clean more chickens in an hour than any other chicken-cleaner in the world, and he wanted the fact mentioned. Men who are never suspected of great ness by other people accuse themselves of it to the editors, and when they re fuse to mention this greatness they are told that their columns contain a great deal of stuff not half so inter esting. It has occurred to me that when a citizen of a country town be comes drunk the first thing he does is to hunt up the editor and tell' him what is the matter with the com munity. Tl® Ear or Olonyalus. Of old, Syracuse was the most im portant city in the Island of Sicilly, and in the early part of the fourth century before Christ it was gov erned by Dionysius the Elder. He is commonly called the Tyrant of Syra cuse—that is to say, a ruler who had usurped power, not a legitimate ruler who governed brutally, which is the sense in which we nowadays use the word "tyrant." Near the city there are several vast caves, formed by the action of water in the limestone rocks, and one of these is known as the Ear of Dionysius. This cavern is really a long tunnel. For a distance of nearly two hundred yards it is about seventy feet high, and then the roof begins to descend. At the further end of the high arch, and at some sixty feet from the floor, is a small hidden chamber hollowed in the rock. Here, so the story goes, Dionysius used to listen to the talk of the prisoners confined below, who whispered among themselves of their plots and plans. It is said to be the fact that a slight whisper if uttered near one of the walls, can be heard in this chamber at a distance of fully 200 feet.

There is only 0110 way to euro deafness, and that is by constitu tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tub© gets in flamed you have a rumbling sound or imper fect hearing, aud when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflam mation can bo taken out and this tube re stored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking Hall's Catarrh Cure, Bend for circulars, free. F. J. CHUNKY & Co., Toledo. O.

You've decided, wisely, that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is the medicine to help you. You know that it's guaran teed to do so, as no other blood purifier is. If it doesn't benefit or cure, yon get your money back. But what is best for you to take isn't always best for the dealer to sell. He offers something else that's "just as good." Is it likely? If the makers of a medicine can't trust it, can you? One of two things has to happen. You're cured of Catarrh, or you're paid SSOO cash.
