COURAGE IN MAN. Two Illustrations of Its Different Quall- tles. Courage is of two kinds. be brave through ignorance of his actual peril, or, although fully conscious that his life is endangered, the sense of duty, the principle of loyalty. or the power of love may keep him steadfast This last kind of courage is well illus trated by a familiar story of the civil war. During one of the fiercest and bloodiest battles of that sorrowful ; Struggle, a regiment was awaiting orders to advanee, and meantime the men sought such protection as was pos sible from a de by lying flat upon the gre sition, a large rabbit, frig’! its burrow by an intrusive -d out of went leaping alony the front of the line any of outstretched soldiers, to whom the next iron missiv death one of it mean Goit, cotton-tail,” cried a licutenant, with ready wit. “If we had no more character to lose than you have, we'd | run, too.” A remarkable illustration of the other kind of courage occurred not long ago in Russia. Pezon, the lion- tamer, was at Moscow with his menag- erie, and had there taken into his em- ploy a moujik, a fine specimen of a Cos- sack, to clean out the cages of the wild beasts. The Cossack did not under- stand a word of French. and the terms of the hiring were ttled in dumb show. By way of instructing him in his new duties, Pezon went through a sort of pantomime with the broom, sponge and water bucket The moujik watched him closely, and appeared fully to understand the details of the lesson given. Next morning, artined with a broom, a bucket and a sponge, the Cossack opened the first cage he came to, and quietly stepped in, as he had seen his master on the previous day step into two cages of harmless brutes. But this particular cage happened to be tenanted by asplendid untamed tiger that lay stretched on the floor fast asleep. At the noise made by the opening and clos- ing of the door the great creature raised its head, and turned its terrible green eyes, with a look of haughty inquiry, on the man, who, all unconscious of his peril, stood in the corner dipping his sponge into the bucket. Just at that moment the lion-tamer came out of his caravan, and v struck dumb by the sight that met his gaze. What could he do to warn the man of his danger? A cry, a movement from him might enrage the striped m nster; and hasten its attack on the defenceless Cossack. So Pezon thought it best to stand still and await the issue in readi- ness to rush forward when the crisis came. The moujik, dripping sponge in hand, eooily approached the tiger, and made ready to rub his majesty down with the stolidity of a military servant polishing his Captain's boots The sudden ap- Plieation of cold water to its velvety hide evidently produced a very pleasant effect upon the tiger, for at once it began to purr, stretched out its paws, rolled over on its back, and complacent- ly offered every part of its body to the vigorous treatment of the moujik, who went on scrubbing away with might and main. While this was going on, the lion- tamer stood rooted to the spot and hold- his breath in bewildered apprehension. He was the sole spectator of the extra- ordinary scene, but neither of the actors in it took the slightest notice of him. ‘The Cossack was too much engrossed in his work, and the tiger evidently ap- preciated the refreshing douche of cold water too highly to have eyes for any- thing else. At length the task seemed to be com- pleted, and with a grunt of satisfaction the moujik deliberately gathered up his broom, bucket and sponge, and let him- self outof the cage, the tiger mean- while watching him with a lazy look of good humor. The moment the door was safely barred, Pezon, at last released from his statue-like stillness, sprang forward and proceeded to rate the Cossack for his unprecedented temerity. But the poor fellow, understanding not a word that was being said to him. and gather: ing from his employer's manner and gestures that he had been at fault somehow, naturally enough assumed that he had not done his work with suf- ficient thoroughness, and it required a great deal of vigorous pantomime on the part of Pezon to convince him of his error, andto prevent him from mak- ing another attempt. It can be readily believed that a man of suchiron nerve would be just the sort of servant to suit the lion-tamer after he had received a little instrue- tion, and Pezon was very clad to make him a permanent addition to his staff. And yet how surprised he would have been to receive praise for his courage! Such an idea probably never stirred his dull brain. He had simply obeyed orders, as he imagined, with no more thought of showing courage than of eating the tiger which his master so greatly feared would eat him.-—J. M.

Shelbyville, Ind., most remarkable freak of nature, which is destined to rival all freaks heretofore reported, developed here sunday. Mr. Thomas Worland, wged 35 years, who has a wife and cbree children was himself delivered | f the skeleton of a fully developed shild on that day. From his infancy Mr. vas suffered from a supposed tumor tn his right side, which of Inte has alarmingly large. Last Sunday Dr. Barnum of Manilla.Ind.. ealled in Drs. Eastman & Eastman f Inaianapolis and Dr. J. R Jen- kins of this city who determined to remove the tumor by a surgical op- eration. Accordingly they cut into | the cavity, and found a dermoidal | eyst of about 8x4 inches, hat rare and sbdnormal formation known as an incysted futus. The cyst was found to be filled with the bones, ete., of a fully developed fa-tal skeleton, hair, yertebr, clavicle. phalanges anda part of the superior maxillary. cyst had attached itself to become curious specimen of the in testines and perforated them, and a! pait of the sebaceous aud osseous debris had passed off through these | openings. The bones taken frum the cavity were perfectly formed avd shaped | for proper articulation. After re- moving this futal skeleton the sur- geons bisected the duodenum, re- moved the ruptured portion and re- attached the intestines. Mr. Worland is now with a resting easy possibility of him. The physicians perfoiming the operation say that the skeleton | found in this abnormal dermoid cyst is the remains of a foetus form-! ed and partially developed during the period of fecundation. kins says that there is no such case recorded in the books, but it is probable that the surviving fetus was so much stronger than its twin embryo that it enveloped it ina stronger dermis New Try This{ It will cost you nothing and will surely do you good, if you have a jcough, cold, or any trouble with throat, chest or lungs Dr. King’s Discovery fer consumption, nd colds is g ¢ aranteed to | give .

How a Dog War Uned to Beat the Customs Officers. “Talking about smuggling reminds me of a trick I saw resorted to by a pas- senger onone of the big Cunarders a couple of years ago.” said a loquacious commercial traveler. “You know there isa duty on diamonds, and one of the passengers had three large stones worth several thousand dollars, which he had purchased in) London. The problem of how to evade paying duty on the stones worried him considerably, but at last he evolved a plan, and a few days before the steamer arrived in New York he proceeded to execute it. “The chief officer had a little skye |terrior, and the passenger after consid- erable coaxing induced him to sell the dog. possession of the animal he tied him up and gave him nothing to eat until just before we were to go ashore. He then procured some fat meat from the cook, and cutting off a piece a little larger than a walnut made a hole in it into which he placed one of the diamonds. “A dog will generally bolt a piece of fat without chewing it, and, of course, a diamond will go down with it’ The hungry dog swallowed the meat. as his owner expected he would, and in a short timethe diamonds were safely stowed away in his interior. The dia- mond smuggler had no difficulty in evading the vigilance of the custom | house officials, and wassoon on his way up town, leading the dog by a string. “I met him again a few days after- ward, and asked him how he recovered the stones. ‘Easily enough,’ he replied ‘Assoon as I got home I shot the dog and found the diamonds after a short | search.
