pushed along tho rail until Win Weltz
auothor brakeman rushed into clangor
ami pulled him out of hiB serious

was badly torn and lacerated by being
shoved along tho rail Tho flow of
blood waB stopped by Weitz who

Tho Osmond Republican contains the
followingjacconnt of the heroism of a

afternoon tho weed burner of tho Great
Northern was working on this branch
and sot fire to tho bridge at tho west
end of tho Zeurcher cut east of town

sengers made up a purse and presented

The crop condition seems to be Beri
oub in tho vicinity of Grand Island ac
cording to the Independent Oats are
being cut for hay and on the high land
it is very slim picking at that Pastures
are very dry Portions of tho high

and other portions must havo rain in a
day or two to be saved In the valleys
it is some better but crops will not stand
it thorn but a few clays withont rain
The condition there must be consider
ably worse than in the vicinity of Nor
folk Although some crops are suffer
ing for water and a few fields are
ruined by tho hot dry weather there
promises to bo a generally fair crop of
small grain and other crops appear to
be able to stand tho drouth for some
time Tho greatest danger is from tho
hot winds These are capable of doing
considerable damage even though the
soil may be in fairly good and moist
condition A soaking rain would be
very welcome and would contribute to
the comfort of the people as well as tho
benefit of the crops

The Duchess of Orleans mother of
tin regent who governed Franw dur
ing tin monarchy of IoiiIh XV wun
notorious for her ugliness Slie wrote
Prom oaily youth I knew how ugly
1 was and hated to have people look
sharply at me 1 never cared for dress
as I knew that diamonds and omit
inetitH would only attract attention to
me Once Countess Kolssotis iiHlied inu
why I never turned to look at a mirror
In passing us every other woman did
1 told her I could not endure the sight
of my own face
As a girl 1 must havo been verv
ugly I hud little blinking eyes a pug
nose aud a Mg mouth with thick lips
My face was broad and fat and my
figure short ami stumpy Nobody would
have tuleinted me except for my good
disposition
I dont suppose that there was In
the whole world another pair of hands
an ugly as mine The king often told
me so and 1 laughed for 1 was resolv
ed always to laugh at my lildeousnesH
1 must confess that 1 had to laugh verv
often
Wluit surprised me most wiih that
any one could fall In love with me I
was notoriously the ugliest woman at
court yet I was married at II
I often ifekcri my husband If the
sight of me were not repulsive and
What he had seen In mo that Induced
him to fall In love with me 1 never
got a satisfactory answer but l think
that I must have had some other at
tractions which outweighed my ugli
ness

It Is a distinct loss that reading Is bo
badly taught and that so few people
know anything about the magic of the
poets In their use of sound We read
almost cvclshely with the eye al
though poetry Is pilinarlly Intended
for the ear Shakespeare wrote almost
exclusively foi the ear and we remain
unmoved by the woudeiTiil vibration
of his gieat passages until we hear
them
Poetry ought always to be heard llrst
and read afterward If the best of
Browning Is sympathetically and Intel
ligently Interpreted by the voice the
much dlscued obscurity Is not In evi
dence Many people llnd for Instance
n little lllllculty In getting the clear
nnd full slgiiliicance of The Portrait
of the Last Idichess when they read
It for the tlrst time but It fastens Itself
Instnntlj on tho Imagination If it Is
well read
A good deal of time now devoted to
coinmontnrlts and text study might
profitably be given to readlngthe text
aloud without note or comment A
work of art slowly discloses Its full
meaning and familiarity with It Is tho
first condition of comprehension

A French physician lately had an op
portunity to observe a polnto de Paris
which had been lying for several days
in the stomach of a child and found
that the gastric Juice had acted upon
the smallest particles of the article
blunting the blade and point and giv
ing the medal a brown color In this
manner might be explained tho process
used In Italy to pioduce old coins and
medals Large birds are made to swal
low roughly stamped coins with the
Imago of Tiberius or Caligula After
awhile the animals give off again the
coins upon which meanwhile an ap
preciable layer of patina has formed
This result Is apparently due to the ac

which the combatants belong to differ

pecullaily wanton ami iiinatural Not
long ago two men on a small Island off
the California coast declaie that they
witnessed such a battle The men
Were manning themselves wntchliuc
the unties of a number of sea lions on
a ricf when all at once the creaturea
began to bellow In alarm ami dived
Into the water line huge fellow alouo
Htood his ground and moved his head
slowly as If watching
A moment later the men saw creep
ing from the shadow of n lock two
large panthers which had evidently
swum over Iroin the mainland In
sen i eh of prey
Simultaneously the panthers leaped
upiin their enemy ami a terrible com
bat ensued I or nearly minutes it
went on till the reef was skirted with
ciiinsoii foam
Twice the lion struck a panther
siiiarely with his Hipper and knocked
him a dozen feet away But the great
cuts kept to their work and finally ono
of them burled his teeth In a Hipper of
tho sea lion and tore It off with a sin
gle savage tug
Bellowing hoarsely with pain and an
ger the wounded bull caught tho
panthers throat between Its Jaws and
dragged him Into tho water but tho
big brute was weak from loss of blood
The panther escaped and with Its
mate- swam off for the mainland
across the narrow channel while tin
sea lion struggled out toward the ocean
to die
Tho men went down to examine tho
field of battle A hole deep enough to
bury a home had been dug In the toll
