Winfield Troinblev met with a bad ac­ cident at Bay City on Saturday. He was trying a double barrel gun with smoke less powder, when the weapon exploded at the breach. A piece of the gnu struck Trombley’s left arm above the wrist, making a had wound and tearing away the tissues. Dr. Wiley was sent for to dress the injured limb, and the young man is progressing as well as can be ex­ pected. He is a nephew to Mr. W. S. Cone, and came from Michigan about eight months ago.

Have on Depoalt with th« Covarnmemt $4.000,000 of Their Saving;«. Soldier« The American soldier is coming to be a thrifty person, who saves his money and uses the government of the United States as a depository. A long time ago, when rates for money’ ranged from five to six per cent., a law was passed by congress authorizing the war department to take deposits from soldiers and pay interest on them at the rate of four per cent. Of course, at the time that was a low rate of interest, but in these days of two and three per cent, from the savings banks it is a very high rate. For a few years after the law w'.ns passed the savings fund amount­ ed to almost nothing. Then the sol­ diers realized that this was an excep­ tionally good way of saving, and many of them started accounts with the government, says a Washington report. A few years ago a soldier received an honorable discharge and drew $10,- 000 from his savings and interest, and another soldier, who had re­ ceived and deposited a cash inheri­ tance during his term of enlistment, drew $30.000. Blit these were excep­ tional cases. However, during the last fiscal year the soldiers of the government deposited with the war department upward of $,4.000.000, and that money is now drawing four per rent, interest. At the time that this law was passed there were many desertions from the army, and it was provided that if a soldier deserted he should lose all the savings he had on ac- count. Hence when an enlisted man gets an amount of money on de- posit with the government he be- I comes a better soldier and never de- serts. His independence and interest in his work increase in proportion with his savings account, and the govern­ ment is thus well repaid for the rather high rate of interest that it allows upon soldier deposits.

I was stage-struck once myself, and that’s how I came to have this hand­ some Roman nose, and to be a re­ spected and prosperous lawyer.” “Roman nose,” repeated the other man, “I can't see the connection be­ tween a Roman nose and your being stage-struck.” “Well, the connection is there, all right,” continued the other man. fondly caressing the little arah in the middle of his large, ornamental nose. “At 17 I was badly stage-struck; and, of course, my pare.nts bitterly op­ posed all such notions on my part.. The fever continued to increase, how­ ever, and with two other young men of the same age. I secretly organized an amateur comic troupe to go on the road when the time was ripe. As a starter we decided to try our great entertainment on a country town not many miles away. We eloped with our outfit, guitars and gaudy ward­ robes one day. and had no trouble in getting together a pretty fair au­ dience that night, at ten cents each. The songs, dances and dialogues went off all right, They were really fun­ ny, I believe, even now; but at the close of the entertainment I met with bad luck. “In going out to announce another appearance the next week I clumsily caught my foot in the folds of our impromptu drop-curtain, and pulled the heavy curtain pole or roller down on my straight Grecian nose—the pride of my mother’s family, and mine by 1 inheritance. “I was assisted to mv father’s roof the next day, with a fractured nose and two very black ___ eyes. ___ __ By the time I was well again my ardor for • the stage had abated; and T believe ‘ mv son will get over the mania, too. My wife, however, has not heard the story of the Roman nose, and she rather admires it.” The Coaarrva 9es<*<»a. Having talked themselves nearly to a standstill about the achievement of ('apt. Clark in bringing the bat­ tleship Oregon through the Straits of Magellan (not around the Horn, as it was published countless times), and putting her into action at the bnttle of Santiago, the emo­ tionalists for the first time should pause to consider by what means the gallant captain was enabled to ae- complish that wonderful feat. A be­ lief is growing in the navy that her engines brought the Oregon around. Who controlled the engines, kept them going, prevented journals from getting hot. governed their speed, and made sure that they did not suf­ fer the usual break-down? I guess that genius was Robert Wiley Milli­ gan. says a writer in the New York Press. Did you ever hear of Milligan, chief engineer of the Oregon on that moat famous of all voyages since Jason sought the (ItildeQ Fleece? ’ trow not. Like Brer Babbit, he seems to have lain low. All honor to (lark, but there are a thousand offi­ cers in the navy who could have “commanded" such a ship on such a voyage. I doubt, however, if there lives an engineer in the service who could have equaled Milligan's work in Ye engine-room. But Milligan re- ntaidb a chief engineer, with the rank of commander, and is now on shore duty in the Norfolk navy yard unappreciated, nnhonored and’ un­ sung.

In the East Indian is Lands is found» curious lobster which climbs trees. Al­ though it prefers a home on land it it time« feels a longing for the wstet, where it goes to moisten its gills; and here the eggs are laid, and the young are raised on the coast, where they have the benefit of salt air, alwiji good for children. But most of their time is spent inland, living at the root» of tree-s where they have burrowed deep hollows which they carpet lux­ uriously with fibers stripped from co- ooanuts. They come out of these homesr night to climb the palm trees, for al­ though it seems funny to us, lieir climbing is quite a serious business!« them, since it is. in this way that they secure the cocoa-nuts of which they are so fond and on which they live prioci- pally. To get at the contents of the nut the lobster first tears a way the fiber which covers the three “eyes.” (You must ill ha ve noticed those black spots on ou« end of a cocoa nut that makes it lock like the wierd face of a monkey.) It hammers away wi th its claws at theie spots or “eyes” until a hole is mc V when it extracts the kernel by mean» of its smaller pincers. Sometimes li­ ter drilling through the perforated “eye” it grasps the nut in itaclawsiftd breaks it against a stone. STUCK 10 HIS EYEGLASS.

At one of the lie­ saving stations they thought they would like to test the condition! ol life-boat work, so, clothing themselves in bathing costumes and cork jackets, they each took an oar in a lifeboat,to the huge delight of the Turkish boat­ men. One of the secretaries of the British embassy is never seen without an eye­ glass. and is said even to sleep with it On this occasion he was faithful to his eyeglass and solemnly embarked in a tfork jacket and eyeglass. All the prop­ er exercises were gone through. ar/, finally the l.’»’>at was capsized and righted again by its own crew'. As they crept out from under the capsized boa’, a howl of surprise came from the Turks, for the secretary’s head ap­ peared, with the eyeglass firmly fix’"1 in its proper position, its owner tak­ ing it as a matter of course that it should be there.
