Dealing With a Lunatic.
In front of thu Cliolftea house Sir
Thomas Sloro hail a Burden and gate'
house, and, an there was a pleasant
viow from the summit of the Bate-
house, he used frequently to sit there,
accompanied only by his dop. Here It
was that he was found ono afternoon
by a wandering maniac, who crept up
stairs and saw the feeble old man doz
Inc. "Leap, Tom, leap!" be cried, and at
the same time tried to throw htiu over
the battlements. Store had not phys
leal strength enough to resist, but he
had the wit to say:
"Let us llrst throw this little dos
over."
The man Immediately threw down
the dog.
"Pretty sport," said (he lord chancel
lor. "Now, j?o down and brlns; hlin
up; then try iipiln."
While the mmlmim went down for
the lo More made fast the door be
hind blm and so managed to bold the
fort until deliverance came.
The Earth's Journey.
Our world's Journey In space la a
long one. If we are to accept the con
clusions of Dr. Turner of the Univer
sity observatory of Oxford nnd Profes
sor II. 0. Pluiiimer, royal astronomer
of Ireland. Itecent astronomical work
sujjKosts that the sun and its planets
form a single unit In a vast system,
tin.' stars in which, though separated
by enormous distances, have n com
mon center of gravity, and in response
to gravitation all move In unison like
n stupendous machine. The paths of
these stars, Instead of being nearly
circular, like those of the planets
around the sun, are much like the oscil
lations of a pendulum. The calcula
tions show that on this elongated
course our sun must travel -100,000,000
years before completing a revolution
and that it passed near the. center less
than a million, perhaps not more than
:i00,00O, years ago and Is now on the
outward stretch.
Barney Barnato's Comedy.
In the Journal South Africa the late
Sutton Vane, the dramatist, once told
this story of Harney Itarnato: "He was
the best amateur melodramatic actor
I ever met A little rough; so Is a dia
mond, but the lire is there. lie played
Claude Prollo In Victor Hugo's 'Es
meralda' splendidly, 1 playing Quasi
modo, the hunchback, with him. In
the great scene on the parapets the
hunchback tries to throw the monk
(I''rollo) Into the street. Mr. Ilarnato
resisted vigorously. He seized me by
my hump, which came off In his hand.
It was a sponge bag stuffed with va
rious articles. He shook his fist at me
and then, with a quiet smile, threw the
hump from the cathedral roof. Look,
lug over, he exclaimed: 'Oood heav
ens! I have killed a policeman!' Tre
meudous round of applause from the
audience."
Armies of Animals.
Some Idea of the vast numbers of
animals that Africa used to support
can bo gained from a passage In V.
Scully's reminiscences. It was Mr,
Scully's good fortune In 1S02 to wit
ness the last great trek of springboks
from east to west of the lltishmanland
desert n trek on a scale such as no
man will ever see again. Fencing, the
Increase of population and the dlstrlb
ution of arms have almost extermlnat
ed the once Innumerable host. He
says, "I have stood on an eminence
some twenty feet high, far out on the
plains, and seen the absolutely level
surface as far as the eye could reach
covered with resting springboks, while
from over the eastern horizon the ris
ing columns of dust told of fresh hosts
advancing."
Shoes and Nerves.
Travelers say that the reason why
nervous people don't exist in China Is
because it Is there the custom to wear
soft shoes. There Is no doubt that hard
soled, creaking footgear Is responsible
for much nervous wear and tear as
well as much physical fatigue in west
ern lands. Tired feet and tired nerves
will Hi id solace In a warm foot bath
with a handful of sea salt In it. Move
the feet about or keep them still as
best pleases you as long as the water
is pleasantly warm; then dry them
with a rough towel and put on a fresh
pair of stockings. Dundee Advertiser.

An Attack That Wholly Demoralized
the Partisan Rangers.
Colonel John, S. Moslij-, commander
of the Partisan rangers, who gave
such dashing service in the southern
cause, told of an amusing Incident la
which he figured.
In the summer of 1SU when General
Phil Sheridan was in the valley of the
Shenandoah he found himself much
harassed by Mosby, who was continu
ally cutting otr his supply trains. An
army cannot light on an empty stom
ach, and Mosby knew It. One bright
morning Mosby heard that a long sup
ply train was winding its wity down
the valley. By noon the rangers in.
their gray uniforms were gathered at
the forks of the vnlley pike, watching
for the head of the wagon train to ap
pear. Presently a cloud of dust was seen
rising far up the road, and as the wind
blow it aside the Confederates caught
sight of a line of men in blue escorting
n caravan of lumbering wagons drawn
by mules Instantly .Mosby gave the
order to run ajlttle howitzer up on the
side of a hill and unlimhcr It. As soon
ns tlie gun had opened lire the rest of
the men were to make a cavalry charge
and throw the train Into confusion.
The rangers jerked the gun into w
sltlon nnd began to swab It out. Sud
denly the man with the swnb gave a
shrill yell, seized the seat or his panta
loons and lied down the hill and out
Into the road. Almost in the same
moment the other man at the gun
abandoned It. He seemed to be light
ing at the air as he disappeared over
a stone wall.
The sutler's wagons were creeping
nearer, and Mosby did not know what
to think of such extraordinary conduct.
He ordered four more men to the gun,
but hardly had they reached it when
they, too, yelled, began to beat the air
madly with their hats and took to
tlight.
Spurring his horse over the stone
wall, Mosby rode toward the gun, but
his stay was short. The howitzer stood
lust over a hornets' nest, and those
busy Insects were resenting the intru
sion. They had repelled the invaders
on foot, and now they swarmed on
Mosby's horse till the maddened aid
mnl tore off down the pike on n run.
Then they turned their attention to
the rest of the troop.
Their attack was so vicious that the
rangers gave up any lden of standing
by the gun. They scattered far and
wide, and It was an hour before they
returned. When they did the wagon
train had safely vanished In the dis
tance. So the hornets saved the day
for Sheridan. Youth's Companion.
Where Science Fails.
Science has wrought tunny achieve
ments, but It has not cleared up a sin
gle elemental mystery, and It has cre
ated a thousand lesser mysteries that
never were Imagined until science
came. Science has demonstrated that
this oak of a world used to be an
acorn, but how that acorn came into
existence or whence It obtained thu
latent elements that now have become
an oak science has not suggested. Sci
ence has made It possible for a manu
facturer to cut down three trees In
his forest at :.n.r In the morning, to
have them made Into paper at !::tl and
to have them selling on the street as
newspapers at 10:25, but whether the
manufacturer himself Is a brain that
has a mind or Is a mind that has a
brain science cannot even guess. At
