OWAIM) aIsTOX,
MR. lWSWS MALNTI D BANJO.
Once the Instrument of a Muricr, It Is
I'layd ty Unseen HanJs.
Mr. Martin Forster, of Little Rock
owns a banjo which has a characteristic
which makes it uncanny in tlio eyes of
thesuperstious people. In the year 1882
or 1883 in the city of Sao Antonio, Tex
as, there was a variety actor, au exeep
tiotially able man at his calling, who was
performing in ono of the many concert
halls which then infested that town.
With him was a beautiful girl, who
dauced to the music of the banjo on the
Btage, the two also giving many attrac
tive specialties io their lino. Tho man
was insanely devoted to her, but was ter
ribly jealous. One night in the wine
room after a performance, whilo under
tho influence of liquor, which served to
increase his insane rage, he, in the midst
of a quarrel which had grown out of his
accusations against her, struck her on
the head with tho banjo. She died al
most immediately. Tho man fled but
some time afterward was apprehended at
Kansas City and brought to San Antonio
where ho was tried, convicted and sent
to the penitentiary for a term of years
A few years after this Mr. Louis Kors
Ur, Martin's brother, made a visit to
Texas, stopping at Bierne, near San Ao
tonio. Being a fair performer on a ban
jo, Louis asked bis brother Mike, who
had accompanied him, and who was now
returning to his homo at Little Rock, to
get him a banjo at San Antonio and
send it down to him. Mike did so, pur
chasing the ooe with which the actor
huk slain his mistress. It proved to be
a fine instrument, of soft and delicate
tone, and with it the sick man whilcd
away many tedious hours to his own sat
isfaction and the admiration of the music
loving people of the village, who of course
constituted the entire population. On
Ins return home Louis stopped at Texar
katia, where his brother then lived.
When leaving he presented the banjo to
Martin, who, although ho could no more
play a time ou it than he could daoce on
a ugni rope, giaaiy acccpiea tne gilt as
an audition on account of its history, to
bis colic ctiio of horrors. He was ac
customed at idle moments when at home
to take and thrum it for the amusement
of his two little boys, who liked the noise
regardless of chord or discord.
One Sunday afterooon the liltle fellows
i in pun u ned liitu to play them a tune en
the banjo. lie told them to fetch it to
him from its place behind a wardrobe
that stood across an angle of the wall
When within about three feet of where
the instrument stood, they stopped and
threw up their hands in astonishment,
while their father's cycB bulging out jn-
cr l he emotion of surprise and wonder
This mate ol affairs came of the fact that
tho banjo emnuencod of its own accord
or through some unseen agency to play a
tune. It was no screaking sound, nor
was it a soft molian ttiain, such as the
wind coining through the opening dooi
niLjht have produced, but a real tuno
gentle, though clear. It kept this up
for at least two minutes, when it ceased.
The lads were thcu afraid to take the
banjo from its hiding place. To allay
their fears their father got it, but he did
not moke any music on i. nut oariug to
expose bis ignorance after such an ex
eellent performance, and soon laid it
away again. He has thai banjo yet, and
frequently when being approached by
those who would take it in their hand
ives the same nweet musio to the
touch of invisible fingers. Memphis

RESULT OF CIIICKF.N BLOOD.
A Connecticut Youth Now Struts Abut anJ
Acls Like a (lame Cock.
This is a queer story of tho strange
results of the transfusion of blood from
a fowl to the veins of an iafuut. A boy
"as born to the wife of a farmer who
lives near Stonington, Connecticut. The
child was dying of inanition. To suvo
its life a young doctor transfused into
tho infunt's veins tho blood of t fowl tak
en from the farmyard.
The child became strong and is now
a vigorous lad of twelve. As ho grew
ia years bis mother observed that he was
intensely fond of out-of-door life and
cared nothing for the society of other
children. He always played with the
barnyard fowls, and his mother found it
difficult to make him stay in the house.
Not long since she discovered that he
left his bed in the night and was found
in tho chicken house in the morning.
She could not break him of this habit.
She was distressed, too, to see that he
imitated the fowls in his actions, walking
with deliberation, raising ooe foot high
from the ground and putting it down
again with all the dignity of a Brahma
rooster. He made strange chicken like
noises, too, imitating the crowing of
game cock and clucking softly to himself
as he strutted about the yard.
The birds of the yard followed him
about, and the hens clucked noisily at
him when he crowed. His mother
watched these strange developments in
her child with anxiety. Finally, bccoin
ing alarmed, she sent lor the physician
who had saved the lad's life in infancy.
He remained a fortnight on the farm
studying the lad. Then he brought
down from Boston two other physicians,
They, too, watched the curious antics of
the boy with interest, and finally got per
mission to take him to Boston. The lad
resisted that and fought the physicians
with strange sidelong kicks from his
heels and violent knocks from his head.
He is now in Boston being treated fur
his odd affliction. It is said that the
only similar case reported iu the medical
journals is that of an Austrian, who, hav
ing a bullock's blood transfused into his
veins, in later life began to bellow and
paw the ground like an angry bull.
New York physicians scoff at this case
reported from Stonington. They say the
transmission of characters by blood trans
fusion is preposterous. N. Y. World

Jezebel, the queen of Ahab, according

Margaret of Anjou had the typical

Pocahontas is described as having feat

Theodora, the wife ol the famous Jus

"That," replied the Vassar maiden, ' is
simplicity itself. Suppose I demonstrate
it to you mathematically."
"Well," he responded somewhat
doubtfully. '
"You and I," continued Miss Axiom,
belong lo a certain circle, do we not?"
"Yes," he assented
"Consequently," she said, "we might
call ourselves radii of that circle."
The young man nodded.
"Two radii of a circle are equal to a

He did not contradict her.

RiJjles Which L'sci to be AskeJ ly Philoso
phers in the Last Century.
Dr. S. S. Kosor, of Williamsport, Pa ,
as made u remarkable discovery, which
will be a thetuo for discussion among
medical men throughout the country.
His knife lias revealed a medical wonder,
in which u man had unimpaired faculties
wilhout a brain. At the request of a
number of physicians of Philadelphia
Dr. Kosrr Sunday evening held a post
mortem examination on the remains of
John Bly, of Washington, who died
iccntly.
Itly, who wus lit) years of age, for a
long time suffered with a tumor, which
grew into the very base of the brain, and
occasioned his death. The growth had
a visible effect upon lm brain, aud the
case became a curiosity to the medical
profession. The tumor was imbedded
too deeply into the brain tissue to udmit
of an operation. It was found that the
tumor was nearly ns large as a billiard
ball. It was located as to demoralize the
'es of the sight center, and as a
consequence young Isiy was blind lor
over three years.
The most singulur fact developed was
that the entire bruin had been hollowed
out by tho action of the tumor. The
cavity was at least five inches in length,
and was filled with pus. All that was
ft of the brain wus a thin shell, com
posed of tho tougher tissues where the
brain matter gathers into nerves, which
were less susceptible to the process of
decay. When an incision was made in
the shell; the whole mass collapsed.
The circumstances which made the
case almost unprecedented in the annals
of medical science was the manner in
which the patient retained his rationality
and taeullies. lie had the senses ol
touch, taste, heariug and smell, and hud
very tolerable control of his locoiulur
muscles, could talk, and, iu fact, was
comparatively discommoded in no other
way than by the loss of vision. His
retention of memory was remarkable

There are a half a dozen collections
belonging to the last century of questions
and answers. They are called the "Ath
enian Oracle," the "British Apollo," and
other titles. Both tho questions mid
answers are most curious and interesting.
Of course a largo part arc religious or
rather Biblical, but many illustrate old
beliefs ami superstitions. For instance,
there arc certain Biblical questions:
How long did Adam and Eve contin
ue iu a state of innocency?
Why did not Adam namo the fish ?
Why do angels havo wings?
Who was Cain's wife?
Were there other floods besides that of
Noah?
Why were ignorant men chosen as
apostles?
What was Eve's fruit?
Where did the cock stand when he
was heard by all the world?
Where was Job going when ho was
12 years of age?
Were there rainbows before the flood?
And here are somo secular questions:
Why do elephants have no joints?
What becomes of the flame when the
caudle is blown out?
Why do drowued men float on their
backs and drowned women on their faces?
Is it a comfort to the unhappy to feel
that there are others quite as unhappy
as themselves?
What is a phenix?
Is there a race of pigmies ?
Is it true that men have one rib moro
than women?
Do swans sing before they die?
What is the will o' the wisp?
Why are wits always cowards?
These questions the books treat solemn
ly and provide learned answers for llieiu

A travelling man, who makes monthly
trips through West Virginia, told this
story of u courtship of his.
"There is one of the prettiest girls in
the country living iu a litllo West Vir

thought myscll' very much in lovo with
her, aud wanted to marry her. The
girl's father was a customer of mine, and
I tilways limed uiv trips so that I could

"One night I concluded to tiy my

proposed to her. 1 was uceeptcd, con

ftcr she had a chance to softco him a
little. Of course when I went away that
night, I thought of nothing but what
presents to send her. I cculd not see
her for a month, but wc could write,
We wrote every duy, and I invested

"When I reached the town again, I
called at once to sec her, and she told me

You was going to ask mo if you could

that I've been pestered enough by her

I don't caio who she marries. When
that New Yorker asked me, I told him
yes; when the feller from Chicago asked
me, I told him be had my blessing; when
the Wheeling man warned her, I told
bitn all right. That was last week
You are tho sixth this week, and I ain't
going to let you say a word. She told
me this morning she was g, ing to marry

judging from ihe two or three wagon

Seeing Is Believing-
It does not seem possible lo blow out
a candle through a brickbat, yet those
who have tried it say it can be done.
Most rooms are largely ventilated through
their walls, and the brick and mortar
are merely very rudimentary lungs,
which take in and throw out the atmos
phere with but little hindrance. You
may try the experiment yourself. Place
a candle on the other side of your brick
ana use two tunnels, wttn the llartng
ends on the opposite side of the brickbat,
with the small end of one line with your
mouth and the other turned on tho can
die flame. Tho least breath will maki
the light dicker and a hearty cxpmilion
will extinguish it altogether. Try it and
sec.
