THE.AMERICAN. (KILLED PY IMAGINATION. Taa(at lb t-la frlrk ml a Johla Fries a Was a Hall "In ray opinion,'" remarked the col let professor. hu mw from ihi rank during the last mar to (be po Cltlon of colonel, according (q the Washington Star. "th imaginatioi of men does more Injury to the caus of courage than all the appliance o' war yet discovered. I had a remark able case happen to me during th battle around K'-hmond. That la to say. It happened to another man, but I was part of it. It nan on a ekir . njlsh line and I mas lwt'K behind f log with two other men 1 was onl a. private then one of wtom was a? Inveterate Joker, end the othtr war one of the Imaginative kind of sold lert. In fact, he was o Imainatlv that he was almost scared out of hi; wits and when bullets and shells be gan flying through the woods, cuttin: off sap'inps. clip; '"(? l'-nibs all aroun us and barking the top of the log be hind which we lay, I thought the fel low would burst a blood vessel or g crazy or do some other fool thing tin becoming a soldier. Tom. the joker noticed the man's terror and called m attention o it. Th n he reached otr and dragged In a stick cut from tn tree above us by a bullet, and. flxinr a pin In it, proceeded to have his fun The man was at the far eud of ou log, ten feet from Tom. snd I was Jux' beyond Tom on the other side, and I'm fiee to confess, was nervout enough to wonder at Tom's manner a such a time. Howecr. I couldn't help watch'ng his nio' e-t'ert and actuall laughed to see him sidling the pin pointed stick along toward the unsus pecting victim. Having got It at tli right distance, he waited for a smash lng volley of bullets and just as it came he prodded the soldier In thf back with the pin. Well, it was reall funny to fee the chap Jump and yel' and roll over, and we both falrh bowled. But It wasn't so funny wher the man didn't move after his first startled action and Tom looked arouni at me In a scared kind of way. Hi. Surprise found ex ression in an oath and he called the man. There was n answer and he called again, with th same result. Then he crept over tc him and gave him a shake. Tha brought no response either and Tom dragged him around so that he could see his face. It waa an ashy blue with the eyes staring wide open, and the man was as dead as Julius Caesar, with never a mark on him save, per haps, that one pin scratch In hit back." THE WEEPING WOMAN. If She Hut Do It, Let Her Shed Tears Artlstlrally. "Should women weep?" Is a topic o: discussion by the readers of Woman, t London publication. One contributoi puts in a most emphatic "No!" Thf crying woman, it is maintained, Is ou' of date she belongs to the '40's am '60's, not to this end of the century Woman was then a submissive slavi and man the righteous ruler. Now al Is changed. The new woman is hen and she rules; therefore, she should no: cry. In the opinion of another writer , a woman should cry provided she does so "noiselessly." "If her face begint to swell, all walls should cease and sh must not sniff, gulp, or otherwise mak an object of herself. If she does all thi pathos of her crying is gone." The Uei is thrown out that "style" in weeping should be cultivated; for there are sev eral "forms" of weeping. "Some weep alone to their pillows in the dead ol night." This, it Is held, is a mistake, because it makes the weeper old and ugly before her time and does not dt anybody the slightest good. Then there is the woman who Is crying at every opportune and inopportune moment. That is bad form in weeping. The "whimpering style, with a grievance usually found in the past middle ag lady," is to be shunned. The worsl form of all is the "red faced cry of tem per," which usually asserts Itself in an injudicious stamp of the beautifully arched Trilby and ends in a general stampede of the assembled multitude. A Hlshop "Borrowed" the Hook. Two manuscript volumes of the fa mous "Paston Letters," presented to George III. by the original editor, Sir John Fenn, in 1787 mysteriously dis appeared from the royal library at Windsor castle shortly afterward, and they have been vainly searched for over and over again. These volumes have recently been discovered at Or well Park, Suffolk, the seat of Capt. Pretyman, member of parliament, who is a descendant of the well-known Bishop Pretyman Tomlln of Lincoln and Winchester (described by Sydney Smith as "a mean and cunning pre late"). Bishop Tomlln was the tutor and biographer of Pitt, who had in tended to make him archbishop of Canterbury, But George III insisted on , appointing Dr. Manners Sutton. Bishop Tomlin was often at Windsor, and it is supposed that he borrowed the volumes from the king and never returned them. The transaction might obviously have escaped notice, as shortly afterward George III. had his first attack of insanity and everything at court was for months in utter con fusion. The volumes at Orwell Park vere really a part of George II.'s fa mous library, which was presented by George IV. to the British museum, but he only made the gift because the ministry had interfered with his de sign of selling it to the emperor Alex ander I. of Russia. It was in conse quence of this donation that the sov ereign has a right to nominate a royal trustee for the British museum, a po sition now filled by the bishop of Win chester, whose predecessor was the late duke of Albany.

Mr. KJion as ery fond of his old fathrrwho a physically a giant, and at 65 could outrun, outjuuip aud outdo any soldier at Fort Gratiot. near where he lived, say the Cleveland Plain IValer. The elder Kdion was very economical in bis habit, and dis liked anything that looked like extrav agance or aaste of money. Me had an old crony at port Huron who was Jiwt the opposite. They differed iu politi cal belief also, and would often argue through an entire night ou some point of political differ. ice. They were great friends, however, and conotautly tot'elher. A few years ago Mr. Edi son decided to send his father to Eu ro; e and concluded to send his old crony along with him. Mr. Edison se cured their passage on one of the lx st of the Cunard steamers, gave his fa ther a handhon.e letter of credit and litiirted them off. A few weeks pas.-ed and Edison got no news of the two travVns. He had ample faith in their abili; to take care of themselves, and thought: "Well, they will soon wint some more money and then I will hear from them." A month or more pased, but still no letter. One day he was sitting In his labora tory at Menlo Park, when who should come in but the two old men. "Why, how did you get back, and why didn't you write me for some more money?" demanded the son. "Didn't need It," replied his father. "My friend here would have spent It all In a month, but I kept the bag. I made him walk." And so he had. With a letter of credit for $1,500 in his pocket, the elder Edison had made his companion scour Great Britain on foot. When they got to a city, they put up at the cheapest hotels and to crown It all they had" come home In the steerage with 500 Poles. "Here's your balance," said the stur dy old man, and he counted out fSOO back into the hands of his son, who was so convulsed with laughter at the old man's story that he could hardly count it. TIGER WITH A CLASS EYE. Socrassfnl Operation, Paid to Be the First or the Kind. Here la a tiger with a glass eye. Every menagerie and zoological garden has its doctor, surgeon and dentist to look after the many ills that wild beasts in captivity are heir to, says the New York Journal. At Stuttgart the services of an eminent oculist were re cently invoked In behall of a tawny monarch of the Bengal Jungle. The beast had been suffering for a long time with an Incurable affection of the eye. Removal of the optic was determined upon. In the operation cocaine was used, chloroform being out of the ques tion, as members of the feline race suc cumb very easily to the fumes of the anaesthetic. Several strong keepers were called In to hold the animal down during the operation. He was bound and muzzled. During the cutting open of the lid, an operation which was necessary to loosen the sinews, the tiger showed little uneasiness, but It evi dently suffered much when the muscles and the nerves of the eye were cut through. Immediately after the opera tion the animal became very quiet and soon appeared to be much relieved. A tiger with one eye is an un-canny look ing object. A week later, when the wound had healed, a glass eye with the proper expression of ferocity was intro duced into the cavity. This seemed to cause the tiger much uneasiness und perplexity, and he has since sat for hours at a time endeavoring to rub out the glass optic. The eye was specially constructed from measurements made of the one taken out. It is the first In stance on record of a wild animal being supplied with an artificial eye. BOY CRAB FISHERS. They Capture Ktasllflsh In the Slimy Mud Above Low Water. The crab fishermen who catch the delicate shellfish with net or line have now got competitors In the business who have it in their power to sell very cheap, says the San Francisco Call. They can sell cheap because there Is little work for them to do and they nearly always make good hauls. The new rivals are the boys who loaf around the water front below Channel street. Some time ago several thousand piles were anchored iu the bay and as they floated about a colony of crabs found them Just the things to sun themselves on. In fact, they found them so pleasant they forgot to get off when the tide went down. All that was then necessary for the boys to do was to go out and pick them up. As soon as the crabs heard the sound of footsteps they would drop off the piles, but in stead of striking the cool waters of the bay would drop into a sticky pool of slimy black mud. In this position they could do nothing to help themselves and It was not long before they were served "cracked" on free lunch coun ters. The boys do very well at the work, often catching several dozen in a day. But it is impossible to conceive of a more dirty job. They become cov ered with the Ill-scented black slime. However, they don't object to that, but rather think it adds to the hilarity of the pastime. A Maine Inventor'! Job. A Maine inventor is trying to evolve a hen that is constructed like a re peating rifle, one that will stay on the rooet loading up until eggs rise to 30 cents a dozen, and then o and flood the market. As soon as his magazine hen begins to lay the poorest member of the human race may have hard boiled eggs ree times a day. DEFINITION OF A BABY. Crying rill aad a Kurt Haadle at Lata, A London paper ha been fishing fot definitions as to what a baby Is and re eelved a long list of definition. That which took the jirue was "A tiny feather from the wing of love dropped Into the sacred lap irf motherhood." Among the detlnitlous were the fol lowing: A troublesome compendium of great possibilities. The only preclotia poeseMion that never excites envy. A bold aacertwr of th rights of free speech. A thing everybody thinks there is a great deal too much fuss about, unless it Is their own. A thing we are expected to kiss and look an If we enjoyed it. The only thing needful to make a home happy. There is only one perfect specimen of a baby in existence, and every mother la the happy possessor of it. The most extensive employer of fe male labor. The pulp from which the leaves of life's book are made. A padlock on the chain of love. A soft bundle of love and trouble which we cannot do without. The morning caller, noonday crawler, midnight brawler. The magic spell by which the gods transform a house Into a home. A diminutive specimen of perverse humanity that could scarcely be en dured If he belonged to some one else, but. being our own, Is a never-falling treasury of delight. A mite of humanity that will cry no harder if a pin Is stuck into him than be will If the cat won't let him pull her tall. A crying evil you only aggravate by putting down. The latest edition of humanity of which every couple think they possess the finest copy. A native of all countries, who speaks the language of none. The sweetest thing God ever made and forgot to give wings to. That which Increases the mother's toll, decreases the father'a cash, and serves as an alarm clock to the neigh bors. A pleasure to two, a nuisance to every other body, and a necessity to the world. An Inhabitant of Lapland. A WONDERFUL PHOTOGRAPH. Shawl L'l with Delightful Realism a Father Feeding III Child. The new system of multiple photo graphy, whereby a great number of Im pressions of the same person or object are taken in a moment or so of time, exhibits life to us in a very natural and realistic manner, says the New York Journal. This la one of the most Interesting features of this wonderful Invention, for the old-fashioned photo graph represented human nature in the most unnatural manner possible. It Is notriously difficult to look pleasant when sitting for a photograph. The subjects of instantaneous multiple pho tography do not have the same difficul ties, for they are either ignorant of what is going on or they are not re quired to pose. A more pleasant ex ample of a multiple photograph could hardly be found than shows us a father feeding a little child, while the mother, seated on the other side of the child, looks smilingly on. It is a delightful little scene of domestic happiness. It is a photograph that touches the heart. When such results as this can be pro duced by one of the wonders of modern science we must not accuse that science of being neglectful of the beauties of life. The father Is evidently a man of the poor class, otherwise he would not be photographed In his shirt sleeves and in the act of feeding his child. But this conduct Is what endears him to us. The man who can take such evident pleasure In the simple but worthy act of feeding his little child must be truly happy and the sight of happiness Is good to all rightly constituted per sons. By means of this wonderful pho tograph you may follow this gentle ac tion from Its inception to its conclu sion. You see not only the raising of the spoon with the food and the gradual turning of the man's head as he brings the spoon near the child's mouth but also the tenderness which accompanies the action. The youngster looks up happily and smiling and the mother ia equally so. The photograph Is a fine study for the lover of human nature. The aeil Wife's Sister Uuentloo. Mr. Chamberlain, in reply to a dep utation of the agents-general for all the self-governing colonies, who wait ed on him last week to urge support for the legalization of marriage with a deceased wife's sister, said he quite sympathized with the object the colo nial governments had In view, but much doubted whether Gen. Laurie Bill's dealing with the subject could be dealt with this session. At the same time, however, whenever that or any other measure legalizing marriage with a deceased wife's sister came before parliament he should support It. Lon don Times. Michigan University.
