How Crime Saved the Trooper.
THOMAS CRUSE, quartermas
ter's department, United
States army, got another step
the other day and once more
changed the little Imnge In his shoul
der strap. Colonel Cruse has been a
long time in the staff department
which has to do with army mules,
tents, canteens and haversacks. When
he first left thellue for the staff friends
said he couldn't stand it, but when a
man has fought more than most and
licked all that he fought, it's not over
hard to urge him to take the soft side
of a pillow. They say in the army to
day that Tom Cruse can't pick up a
sample shovel that some contractor
has submitted for inspection without
coming to an "advance carbine" with
it and later trying to cock the thing.
Cruse for years was an officer in the
Sixth Cavalry. Out at Fort Sheridan
the other day a retired enlisted man
who had served under Cruse some
years ago told the story of how the
quartermaster officer won the little hit
of bronze which on certain occasion.!
he wears pinned to his blouse. •
In the early summer of ISS2 Cruse
Was a second lieutenant in "K" Troop
of the Sixth Cavalry. He was out
6couting after Apaches down In the
very hottest part of Arizona. The
command had trailed along till it came
to the rocky basin known as flu Big
Dry Wash. Cruse had something less
than a corporal's guard with him. The
little band had not seen a sign of an
Indian since it set out, but then
Apaches are not given to making signs,
nor do they wait for formal introduc
tions before extending warm greetings
to those who would cross the thresh
old of their rock desert fastnesses. Be
yond the basin of the Big Dry Wash
was a natural fortification of rocks.
Cruse sent a mau to the right flank to
take a peep behind the bowlders before
crossing. The trooper returned and
reported there was nothing there. Then
the little command pushed down into
the basin and fury opened from behind
the rocks to their front. The fire was
concentrated and terrific. Two of the
six saddles were emptied and the
mounted command gave way and
sought the shelter of the rocks to the
rear. Under the thumping hail of bul
lets Cruse lifted a wounded trooper to
his saddle and bore him back to shel
ter. where the men dismounted and
took what count they could of their
hidden enemy across the basin.
It was supposed that the second
trooper who had fallen in the open was
dead. While looking out across the
waste between him and the ambushed
savages Cruse saw the fallen trooper
move. Then there happened one of
those things which a single line in the
medal of honor list tells about, but to
which a whole volume cannot do jus
tice. Cruse, carbine in hand, stood
straight up, a fair and easy mark for
a bullet. A tawny face showed beyond
and an eye glanced along a rifle bar
rel. Before the weapon spoke Cruse's
carbine sent a bullet straight through
the Apache's head. Then he rounded
the rock in front and strode across the
open toward the wounded soldier. At
every third stride he fired. He was
one of the crack shots of the army,
and the bullets scarred the rocks close
to the heads of the lurking reds. Th y
had seen their comrade's head split
clean at 150 yards. They dared not
expose themselves enough to take care
ful aim, but they answered the officer's
carbine challenge with a scattering
volley. Ho reached the moaning troop
er. Behind him had come two of his
men. "Pick him up, hoys;" and I'll
cover the retreat." He stood there
facing the enemy's lurking place. A
savage braver than the rest stood up
and fired. The bullet scratched
Crusc's arm, but an ounce of lead
crashed Into the Apaelie's head. Cruse
walked backward, while behind him
his two devoted men bore their strick
en fellow. Bullets tox-e up the sand,
but the magnificent nerve and courage
of the soldier who cent back true a
shot for every volley palsied the
Apaches' aim.
Back to their breastworks the sol
diers went with their burden, Cruse
standing erect and sending one last
shot before sinking to cover. Then rc
enl'orcements came aud eighteen sav
ages wcro put to flight. To-day it Is
nothing but two cents' worth of bronze
and a hit of ribbon that reminds one
of the gallantry on that July day it
the basin of the Big Dry Wash.—Ed
ward E. Clark, in the Chicago Record
Herald.
Man Defeats Dog.
Awakened from his sleep by the
maddened beast. Dr. Robert J. Kings
ton had a terrific encounter lasting for
more than an hour, at his home in
Newburg, N. Y„ with Bruno, his St.
Bernard dog, weighing more than 200
pounds. He overcame the brute, chok
ing hint to death, but at no light cost.
Dr. Kingston had reared the dog
from a puppy It was left at home at
night to protect the household when
professional business called the head
f the family away. He was out one
light on a ease and In the morning was
resting, and the children were playing
with the dog.
Suddenly the animal was seized with
convulsions, und, running out of the
dining room, ascended to the bed
chamber of the doctor, sprang on the
sleeping physician, and the flght for
life followed. Dr. Kingston realized
that the animal was wholly uncontrol
lable, and that there was grave danger
for other members of the family if It
should escape and get down stairs
again. Under this thought he lost
sight of his own peril, and devoted
himself to preventing the beast from
so doing. He succeeded in driving the
frenzied animnl into the bathroom ad
joining his apartment and then closed
the door. But in the act Dr. Kings
ton was forced to lock himself in as
well, for the brute fought fiercely
every step of the way.
Once the door was locked Dr. Kings
ton began the battle for his own safe
ty, fighting with grim desperation, for
he knew that only by winning a com
plete victory would he be spared a
fearful death. The physician is wiry,
but not apparently a man of great
strength, and for a time the struggle
was an unequal one.
Time after time the dog buried its
teeth in the fleshy part of the lower
arm, which the doctor used as a guard
for his neck and face. Finally the ani
mal was forced into a position whence
it could not escape.
With both hands clutching its wind
pipe, Dr. Kingston choked the breath
out of the animal's body, and then,
with the assistance of a neighbor, who
had arrived, threw the huge carcass
from the window.
Dr. Kingston sank to the floor, not
unconscious, but weak from the exer
tion and the excitement. Dr. F. M.
Phillips was summoned, and the in
jured arm, bitten through and through
in many places, was cauterized and
bandaged.
While the fight was on the noise was
heard by neighbors, and among those
who came to the rescue were Bryant
Young aud the son of Governor Odell,
who lives directly opposite Dr. Kings
ton. He wanted to shoot the dog, but
the expedient threatened danger to the
physician, who at that time had al
most mastered the beast.
Much Might Have Happened.
When tigers are really at large in
England, says the London Chronicle,
there are no newspaper paragraphs
about the fact. The secret is firmly
held. At Clifton there is a delight
ful zoo.
It was discovered one morning that
a tiger had escaped from his cage
during the night. It was the day of
a children's fete at the zoo. A hasty
search of the grounds was instituted,
but no tiger was found. Then the su
perintendent decided to keep his own
counsel and trust to luck; for it seemed
as if the tiger had scaled the walls
and was in the open country.
Thousands of children romped in the
gardens during the day, and cried
"Oh!" and "Ah!" as the fireworks
gleamed in the night. All the evening
they played and sauntered about
among the trees and In shaded alleys
aud dark corners, and then everybody
went home, tired and happy.
In the early dawn there was anoth
er search for the tiger; and in the
corner of a disused monkey house was
found the "monarch of the Jungle,
still trembling from freedom and fire
works.
His keepers throw a handkerchief
about his neck, and he meekly allowed
himself to be led back to the grateful
safety of his cage. But many things
might have happened during that fete
day.
Wife Killed Wildcat and Saved nusbana
"I never want to see another wild
cat," said Mrs. John Green.
Mrs. Green had saved the life of hei
husband, but Is not boasting of her
prowess. Mr. Green had fired at the
wildcat with a shotgun, but missed.
Before he had discharged the second
barrel the animal had sprang from the
limb of a tree and fastened teeth and
claws in the man's shoulder.
The family dog attacked the wildcat,
but would have been killed had not
Mrs. Green taken part in the battle.
She seized the shotgun from her hus
band's hands aud struck the cat a
blow on the head. That ended the an
imal's life and the battle.
Green is a sawyer, living on Canaan
Mountain, in Connecticut. Ho and his
wife were aroused by the barking of
the dog. Going outside the man
discovered a large wildcat and a young
one crouched in a tree near the house.
After he had fired and missed his wife
came to his rescue.
A Lineman's Itpir.avtc.blt* Escape.
There have been many remarkable
escapes from death, but Oliver Ladou
cer, a St. Paul lineman, had an expe
rience lately that Is hard to beat.
He was testing a wire that extendi
from the store of Hurley Brothers, in
Itobert street, to the store of William
It. Bnrkhard, directly across the street.
Ladoucer was hanging on to the wire
with both hands and was slowly crawl
ing out, hand over hand, toward the
middle of the street. He had got but
a few lengths when he felt the wire
giving way.
He jumped toward the street, a dis
tance of thirty feet. In falling he made
a grasp for the electric feed wire of
the street far line. It held him with
out his feet touching the ground, aud
this saved his life. Had his feet
touched anything he would have been
iustuntly killed.—Minneapolis Tribune.
Whales Attach Men in a Canoe.
While trying to light enraged whales
from canoes two members of tho
Charleston telegraph line construction
party at Fort Simpson were buvt so
seriously that they barely escaped
with their lives, says a special from
Vancouver, B. C. Sixty men are at
work stringing Government wires on
the Skeona River. I,act Friday three
whales came twenty miles up the river
and a dozen men turned out to chase
them. The whales turned on the light
canoes, aud the liver was soon in a
foam with the splashing of the ani
mals aud the efforts of the ennoemou
to escape. One of the boats was
smashed by a glancing blow of one of
the whales. One man's arm was bro
ken, while a second was knocked un
conscious.—Chicago Tribune.
SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.
A writer in Le Mouvement Geo
graphique describes a cave in East
Africa, near Tanga, in which one
chamber rises to a height of 250 feet,
while another covers an area of uOOO
square yards.
India is rapidly becoming an .import
ant. factor in the coal market. The
output last year was nearly forty per
cent, in excess of that of tlie year be
fore, and a still further increase will
be seen this year. Exportation of
coal from India has already begun.
The coal is found over wide areas.
The largest stationary engine ever
built in the United States has just
been turned out at East rittsburg,
Penn. Though nominally of 6000
horse-power, when occasion demands,
It can deliver 10.500 horse-power. The
whole engine weighs more than 1,500,-
000 pounds and stands twenty-seven
feet high. The fly-wheel Is twenty
three feet In diameter, and the main
shaft, measuring from twenty-six to
twenty-nine and a half Inches In di
ameter, weighs 130,000 pounds.
Cosmos tells of a recent experiment
ty some Frenchmen In using a kite
Instead of sails to propel a boat. A
Malay kite less than seven feet high
when well aloft, It was found, had
power enough to tow a boat loaded
with six persons. It Is obvious that It
would be Impossible to go against the
wind, but It was found possible to take
a course forty-five degrees off In either
direction by using the rudder. It is
suggested that tho steady and strong
currents of air some distance above
tbo surface of the earth might be
thus utilized to assist navigation in
some cases.
According to the geologist of the
Antarctic expedition in the steamer
Belgica there is a remarkable differ
ence in the distribution of ice around
the two poles of the earth. Going to
wards tho South Pole perpetual scow
Is encountered nt the sixty-fifth de
gree or latitude, and he thinks that
the floating ice of that region comes
from n layer covering the whole po
lar crown. The floating Ice of the
north, cn the contrary, comes from
true glaciers, which are pushed down
through valleys until they reach the
water. Up there the glacial caps do
cot reach tho sea.
Professor Woodward, of Columbia
University, believes that the height of
the earth's atmosphere vaiies with the
distance from the equator. The fig
ures that he gives are so enormously
in excess of these formerly taught,
that they will be received with aston
ishment by the average reader. About
2C3 miles is tho height that the scien
tists used to tell us, only forty-five
miles of which, comprising the belt
Immediately aroend the earth, had ap
preciable density. Professor Wood
ward, however, shows reasons for
Clicking that the height above the
cicator Is fully 20,000 miles, which
gradually diminishes to about 17,000
ml!c3 above the poles. At the same
time, ho rays that above a few hun
dred miles from the earth, it has no
density, or so little, at least, that Its
effects are imperceptible.
Hand Sweeping .Machines.
TTand sweeping machines have been
uccd with much success ou the Wash
ington Etrcets, says the Engineering
Record, according to Mr. Warner Stut
ter, superintendent of the Street
Cleaning Department, who recently
n.adb tho following report on-the ap
paratus. "The advantages to be at
tained by the use cf this machine over
the present method are as follows: The
work Ij better done for the reason
that no dust is raised by the maehlue
r.nd scattered by the wind, and much
more of tho fine dust is taken up. Xo
sprinkling is necessary, as the dust is
carried into tlie machine, the opera
tion of which is very much like that
of a carpet sweeper. The sprinkling
of a street in advance of sweeping pre
vents the machine or broom from tak
ing cp tho fine dust. Instead, it is
plastered to the street by the broom
to become dust again as soon as dry.
With the use of this machine one man
can care for cne-tliird uoro area of
streets red keep them cleaner than
he can with the hand broom. For the
foregoing reasons an 1 the further fact
that this machine is superior to all
others tried by me. I would respect
fully rcciimuend its adoption in this
city."
Auto untie Flagman For Trains.
With a view to preventing accidents
ct level crossings acd collisions in the
neighborhood of railway stations a
very ingenious mechanism has recent
ly been tried in France. It consists
essentially of a huge hook, or catch,
made of iron, which is connected with
a lever at the station by means of a
wire, through which a current of elec
tricity passes. When it is lying iu its
place the train passes over it quite
eacily, but as scon as it is raised it
catches a lever which Is attached to
the engine. The lover thus caught
causes an air valve on the engine to
open automatically and applies the
brakes at once so that the whole train
is brpuglit to a standstill within a
very short distance. In foggy weather
the use of such an apparatus cannot
bo overestimated, as it Is calculated
to prevent a train running into an
other which happens to be delayed at
a Etation.—Pearson's Weekly.
Tlie Discovery of Felt.
Tradition gives tlie discovery of felt
to an early English monarch. Ao a
comfort for his Cold feet It is told
that he put wool Into his boots, and the
combination of heat, pressure and
moisture produced feltlu, a primitive
state from which the modern kind
grew.

A. Real Fanny Story*
Oul Tim LinVJns, the barber of Wabash Are
une, Chicago, is a great student of proverbial
philosophy, anil he sometimes entertain*- his
customers, in.the interval of a "scrape" or
" haircut," by his apt applications of the well
known proverbs of tho past to the conditions
or requirements of the prosent. Ilis regular
customers know his strong point, and many a
man who apparently goes iu for a shave, is
really in search of a rest in a cosy chair, and
has a desire to hear "Tim" hold forth pro
verbially. One day lost week a stranger camo
in for a shave, and as he stretched himself
wearily in the chair, Tim prepared to lather
him. The man incidently remarked that ho
had intended coming in earlier in tho day but
bad boon prevented. "Well, it's better lato
than never," said Ttm, smilingly. "Not al
ways," reylied tho stranger, slowly. "How
about losing your pockotboote ? I never lost
ono until yesterday—never did, but I would
sooner have kopt it. Now, why wu.3 it hotter
for mo to 1030 it lato thau not at all ? " Tim
acknowledged that ho was wrong and tho man
continued : "Don't know whet I would have
done in my predicament, only an old acquain
tance of mino on tho Lake front lot mc havo
twenty to go on with." "Ah," chipped in
Tim, "that was good 1 A friend in need is a
friend indocd." "No, ho isn't," snapped tho
man who was being shaved. "Thoro you're
doad wrong again. How oan a friend In need
bo a friend indeed? I have a good many friend*
who are always in need and they arc a nuisanco
to me. Always* on the borrow." Tim thought the
problem over in bis mind and reluctantly ad
mitted that tho man was right. Ho had al
most made up his miiul not to speak again
when tho strangor continued, "Yes sir, they
are nuisances. Why, one of thom fellows has
been calling on me for tho past year and
threatens to got even with mc somo way if I
do not loan him fifty dollars. Ho threatens
mo at ovorv visit." "Oh, I wouldn't mind
that," replied Tim unconsciously, "you know
tbo old adago 'A barking dog never bit*?.' "
"There you are again," §aid tho "shave* " as
ho wiped a little lather from tho corner of
his mouth. "Sav, what do you know about
dogs, anyway, that you talk in such a silly
strain ? Havo you over ventured to go too
close to a barking dog,—-and if you did, what
did ho do to you ? Did you over know a bark
ing dog that didn't bite if lie got tho chance?"
Tim said ho couldn't exactly call to mind any
canine acquaintance that strictly fulfilled tho
claim in tho proverb, ami there was a silence
for a few minutes while his razor was gliding
over the man's face. Thon tho harbor smiled
to himsolf as bo bethought him of a good joke.
"I suppose," he said, as ho applied the bay
rum, "I suppose you don't bclicvo in tho bar
bers' proverb at all?" "What's that ?" asked
tho stranger, rising. "Two heads aro bettor
than one," answered Tim. "Of course you
can understand why they aro, In my business,
but 1 know you would like to say they would
be bad for man with the headache or—"
"Nothing of the kind," put in the other, smil
ing. "Ono of your proverbs, at least, is right.
I happen to know that two heads are better
than ono." "Tucn yon don't object to that
old adago ?" "Not at all. It is dead right.

The Danger I rom Flics.
A number of investigators recently
have called attention to the important
role played by insects in disseminating
disease. Because of their great num
bers and active habits, Hies are no
doubt the most dangerous insects in
this respect. After feeding ou the
expectoration of the tuberculous, on
the feces of typhoid patients or other
infective material, they carry disease
germs into innumerable places and de
posit them not only by direct con
tact with their filthy little bodies,
but by their excreta and the dust
formed by the crumbling of tlieir
de-ad bodies. Restaurants infested
with ilies are special abominations.
The danger from this source is not
small, and as the summer will now
soon be on us in good earnest with
hordes of these pests is seems desira
ble that everything possible shall bo
done to limit the amount of mischief
done by them. More effective meas
ures are needed for destroying their
multiplication. The war on mosqui
tos by our sanitary department in
Cuba has shown what can be done in
several exterminating insects, and tho
preparations which are already being
made in several different places in our
country to carry out the Cuban motif
ods show that the people arc willing
to act if they are shown the best
ways. Until some successful method
lias been devised for exterminating
Hies special care should be taken to
prevent their access to sputum, pus,
or other infectious material; fruits and
foodstuffs should be thoroughly cooked
or washed if flies have been allowed
to come iu contact with them, and
should be protected from flies after
preparation for use.
