took place In north
ern North Dakota,
near the Manitoba

between a young
man, who claimed
to be a Hon of thu
Individual who had
turned Into stone,
and IiIh friends, on
one rdcli, Mid several museum specu
lators who wre trying to got away
with tbn adamantine liiiman on thu
other, wiyn the New York World.
The tlKht hnppened on the Orlnotok
plateau on the edge of n cliff. The
petrified man had been concealed nt tho
bane of tin- can on. While the specu
la torn were nt work laboriously haul
ing the remarkable eiirloHlty to the lop,
the son and bit. mipportci'H wciu M-on
across the ruvlue galloping fill loudly
toward them.
When tho son euughl Right of the
ipeculntorH he opened lire. The dls
Ihiicp wim too great, however, for the
shot to dike effect. Tho speculators re
doubled their effort, while thn party
on Uie other Hide of the canyon kept
up a steady fire.
The petrllled man was hauled to ih
lop beforn any one huh shot, ami then,
lying behind the mass of stone, 'hoy
leturned the tire with repeating lilies.
The chaum was too gieat to be
Jumped on Ikiipph and Ik about r,even
miles long Flmillv the kou and IiIh
friends went away, pvlilently Intend
ing to come around on the other Hide.
llefore they had time to do thin, how
ever, tho petrllled man hail been suMy
carried away Into Manitoba, and soon
after It wiix placed on exhibition in
large cities ami Iowuh In the north
west. 1'rnm attempting to recover his pet
rllled parent bv foice of arms the sen
hail now tinned to legal pioreedlngs.
In almost every city he has attached
the stone man. ami as a result the cu
riosity has been kept most of the time
In Jails awaiting the decisions of the
com Is. In every Instance the ipceu
lutoi'K have won. There Is no piece
dent In Inw to determine whit evi
dent p it Is necessary for n son to pro
duce in order to prove that a petrified
man is simply ills parent turned to
stone, and so the western Judges have
dismissed the suits,
Tho petrllled man was found on 'he
farm of George McPherrun, in Mar
shall county, Minnesota, by a farm
hmiil. It represents perfectly a man
about six fet high. A few Inches be
low the heart Is a hole which Is sup
posed to bo the mark of a bullet. His
tlmlis were perfectly straight, with the
exception of the left arm. and his eyes
were closed. His mouth wns pait way
open. Tho teeth are still in gooil con
dition and shine like ivory. Thu lips
aie shriveled so that the teeth are dls
plu.ved more vividly. Theie weie a few
hairs on his eyebrows and on the front
part of his skull. One of the toes on
the left foot was broken off.
A resident of Minnesota, after seeing
.in account of the petrlllcatlon, said bo
thought ho knew thp history of the
man. lleforo he saw the stone he aid
"If It is the man that I think It Is 'here
will ho a bullet-hole In the center of
his breast." After visiting the petrl
lled man ho said that he was satisfied
thnt it was the body of l.c Count, a.
Frenchman, and that a son of tho de
ceased was living at Louisville, Minn.
l.e Count was a Canadian voyagur
and guide. He married a half-breed
and, together with her and his two
boys, set out from the city of St. Paul
to guide a party of three Englishmen
to Fort Pembina and return. When
ihpy rej.ched a point on their eturn
Journey which was on the pralrlo along
the i'emblna trail, in what Is now Mar
shall roiinty, Mlnnesoja, they made
camp for the night.
One of the Englishmen had uctnl
very queerly for some days and sud
denly became Insane that very night.
Early in the morning, hefoie the rest
of the party arosp, l.e Count went rut
aide of the tent, where he was met by
tho Insane Englishman, who, wlthvit
the least warning, picked up a rifle i d
shot I-4 Count In the breast.
Thn family of the dead man dug a
riiilo grave In a lonely spot and con
tinued their jotirnej to St Paul. He
fore reaching St. Paul the Englishman
went away and left the family to go
the path alone. This stor.v. It is said,
tan be proven by the elder sou of Lo
Count, who lives ut Medicine Lake.
The petilned man was shipped to
Kargo, N. D., and placed on exhibition.
The elder son of l.e Count, the guide,
hearing of the clreumstances, started
to claim the stone man as the body of
his parent. The speculators wore told
of his Intent and the) scuriied nway to
ihe north, near the Manitoba lino, ami
hid their curiosity at the place whore
thn tight took place,
Thero has recently been a story to
the effect that the molds from which
tho petrllled man was cast had boon

Very few people aie awaie that the
actual sultan of Turkey is descended
from a French lady. His great-grandmother,
Nachasadll Sultana, consort of
Abdul Hamid 1, was born In the West
Indian Island of Martinique in the lat
ter (inarter of the elghte-Mith century.
I lor maiden name was Aiuiec im
bue de Hlvery She was cousin
and companion In childhoo.l of
another lady, Josephine de la Pa
gerle. who escaped from the guillotine
on which her Hist husband was be
headed, to become Empress of the
French. Mile, de Ulver.v.on the com
pletion of her education at a convent
in Nantes, embarked at Marseilles for
the West Indies. She was shlpwiecked
and rescued by u vessel on Its way to
Algiers, This vessel was captured by
Algerian pirates, and the lady wus tak
en prisoner, and sold as a slave to the
Iley, who In his turn made her a pies
ent to Abdul llamld I. Hy him she be
came the mother of Mabomoud II, the
Heformer, and grandfather of the pies
cut sultan. In 1SG0 the Sultan Abdul
Aziz gave the details of the story to
Empress Eugenie, then in Constanti
nople on her way to Cairo, and very
gratefully claimed her as a cousin.
I'arinnal Appnaranra of Colrrlilgr.
In tils "Llfo of Sterling," Carl.vle
gives us a description of tho appearance
of the poet Coleridge; "Tho deep eyen
of a light ha7Pl were as full of sorrow
as of Inspiration, confused pain looked
mildly fromatliem, as In a kind of mild
astonishment." Another says: "His
forehead was prodigious- a great piece
of placid marble; and his flue eyes, lu
which all the activity of his mind
seemed to concentrate, moved under
It with a sprightly ease, as If It were
a pastime to them to can)
all that thought." Yet anothci
friend of his writes: "Tho up.
per part of Coleridge's face was ex
cessively lino. Hit eyes were large,
light gray, and prominent, of liquid
billllancy, which some ees of tine
character may be observed to possess,
as though thu orb Itself ret tented to
the Innermost recessed of the bruin,"

A prominent New York dentlBt made
the Htntcmcnt the other day, which he
said was bucked by the highest scien
tific authority, that Intellectual pur
suits pluy havoc with the teeth and
that the more a man toils with his
brain the more likely ure his teeth to
disappear or to become diseased boforo
he reaches middle life, says the New
York Journal.
The reason why people In this coun
try have poorer teeth than those of any
other country In the world is because
they live at tho highest possible pitch
of nervous piPSHiire. Savage races gen
eially have teeth superior to those of
civilized ruces.
There are many manual occupations,
too, that have a bad effert on the teeth.
Quicksilver miners, bleachem who use
chloride of lime, people employed lu
soda factories ure uumo of those who
suffer. But the most harmful trade of
all, not only In Its effect upon the gen
eral health, hut also upon tho teeth,
Ih that of making matches. The phos
phorus URed In their manufacture af
fects lu some way the health of the
teeth of those who handle It.
Artificial teeth arc made of alt soiti
of strange substances nowadays, but
probably the most curious of all ma
terials used for this purpose Is coin
piessed paper. A dentist In Germany
has been making them In thlH way for
many years past. False teeth were
never so cheap as they arc to-day, and
at the samp time never so dear. They
can be purchased as low as $:i per set
or they may cost as high as 1.."00.
There aie expensive dentists, ns well
as expensive doctors and It Is not an
uncommon thing for $."(() to be paid
for a new outfit of molars. When It
comes to expensive teeth, or, rather, an
expensive tooth, probably the costlllest
and most highly prized in the world Is
that of a sacied monkey. It Is In one
of the temples of Slam, pieserved In a
golden box. The value the natives put
upon It may be Judged by the fact that
they paid $n.7.')0,0()0 to Portugal for its
tansom when the fortunes of war placed
It In the possession of that nation. The
Cingalese also venerate as sacred a
monkey's molar, while the people ot
Malabar worship one of an elephant's
giluders. lu the Tonga islands a tooth
f 1 mil a shark's Jaw is regarded with
gie.it leveieuce, and in India the faith
ful adore a tooth that is said to have
hi en once In active service lu the
mouth of Hitddha himself.

AN IRON CONSTITUTION.

Hip lllll.
A genius lu Tonnwanda. N. Y has
constructed an electrical man. It id
made of steel, and furnished with a
storage battery capable of holding elec
tilclty enough to run It twenty-four
hours at a time. Of course, It Isn't
alive, and et for nil ordinary purpose
It can till the olllce of a man In some
respects It will be an Improvement on
the oidliiaty man. It won't swear,
steal, nor talk llnancc at the store while
otie'B wife does washing and klllB po
tato bugs at home, lu fact, It doesn't
talk at ull. This quality would have
made It an excellent ptealdeutlal possi
bility In the caller purt of the season.
The Inventor of this modest and unas
suming creature Is a man of wealth,
and will Immediately engage In the
munufactiire of electrical men on i
lurge scale. We cunuot have too many
of them. In case of military conscrip
tion u better substitute can hurdly 1p
conceived. Should we become em
broiled In a war with any European
monurchlal effeteness. it would only bo
necessary to send an army of electrical
men against it. Such troojw would
need no overcoats; neither would they
be Btisceptlble to sunstroke. No mat
ter what confronted them, they would
trudge right ahead. The Six Hundred
that undertook to drive Ilusslu out of
the Crimea, and whose foolhnrdlness
gave Tennyson such a nightmare of
meter and rhyme, wouldn't stand a
ghost of a show In u race for fame
along with a regimen of freshly
charged. Hteel-ilbbed electrical men.
Here Is your Ideal soldier. The electrl
tal man can be put to many practical
uses, such as plowing for the farmer
and doing odd choies around the house.
Several of the eastern titles have a
surplus of women. They will be tin
able to tlud husbands without going
west. Of course, no one will claim that
as a husband an electrical man would
be preferred to a nun of flesh and to
bacco. But when a woman finds her
self slowly slipping down the decline of
splusterhood, she's not apt to be
squeamish about her partner having
inch superficial accomplishments as a
talent for music, a llowing penmanship,
or tho ability to use cuss words
Every family will undoubtedly soon
1 have an electrical man to take caie of
' the bees, arrange the Hue fence with
the adjoining neighbor, and to be In
terviewed by book agent.s. Dress one in
petticoats and a more desirable chap
eron could hardly be Imagined. Let us
all extend the hand of fellowship tu

WOMEN WHO MADDEN MEN.
Do It Innocently, llrvua Thay llo Not
Know How to lr Wltei.
Women may be charming, wholly de
voted to their homes and their hus
bands, and yet be so tactless, thought
less and aggravating us to drive hus
bands to the extreme of misery. "Any
observant bachelor, could recall the
number of Instances of women who,
from mere want of tact nnd intelli
gence are almost driving their hus
bands mad by getting on the!. nerves.
They forget that busy men require ab
solute bruin rest, change of scene,
change of subject. They forget that
however worrying the Ilttlo affairs of
a household may be, the anxieties of a
gieut business upon which the whole
family's present and future depends
are far gi cater. A friend of mine, who
i.s now nearly a millionaire, told me In
confidence that while he was sitting
one night over his smoking-room lire
wondering whether he could next day
survive a tenlble crisis which was
hanging over his head and might lead
to a disastrous bankruptcy, with debts
to the extent of l!00,000 or bo, his wife
came whining into the room to sa
that the butcher must be paid the next
day and the amount of the butcher'
bill was under -0!
"It Is on such occasions that u man
wants a helpful wife- one who will tell
him about or read aloud the last good
novel, who will say, 'Come, let us go to
the theater to-night: you need chnng
of scene,' and above all, one who knows
Just when her husband require! noth
ing more than to be left alone. It Is
women who get on their husband':
I'orves, that drive them to take bach
elor holidays when they ought to be
getting more enjoyment from the wifo's
companionship. Of course there ure
men who are alwayB out of sorts, spoilt
dyspeptic bears with sore heads, who
require strong minds to manage them
but there are very many others who
only want Judicious, sympathetic treat
ment to be the best husbands in tire
world. Avoid being silly, avoid snylng
silly things or trying to make conver
sation, or commenting on some re
mark your husband has made. Head
and think In order to cultivate Intolll
gence and resourcefulness, with the ob.
Ject In view of being his counselor and
his friend, and above nil, his 'chum'
that word means much." I.omlor
