AN INSANE FREAK.

A Chicago Man Deliberately Puts* His Hand Between Cogwheel**. John Mielzarek, a young m:in formerly employed at Crane Bros.’ manufacturing establishment, Chicago, purposely pushed his arm into a cogwheel the other day and had his hand crushed to pieces. For some time Mielzarek, who is Pole, 22 years of age, has been out of work. During his enforced idleness he frequently Came to the scene of his former employment, and appeared to take melancholy pleasure in watching the machines. The other day he appeared at the factory, and his old associates thought he acted queerly. After a while he walked up to a machine that was cutting screw-threads. “See me put my hand in there, boys,” said Mielzarek, pointing toward two large, Swiftly revolving cogs. The ne>,t moment he held up his right hand crushed to a pulp. “See there!” he exclaimed. Before the amazed bystanders could recover Mielzarek coolly walked out of the shop to the office of Dr. C. H. Craves. Proceeding to the consulting room, he snatched up his coat sleeve and extended the shapeless mass of bleeding flesh and crushed bones. “See there, doctor,” he said. “I guess that will have to be amputated.” Then, placing a finger on the wrist, he continued: “I guess you’d better cut it off about there.” Ether was administered and the operation performed, after which Mielzarek was taken to the hospital.

A Bath-Tub 3,000 Years Old.

The care with which the excavations have been carried on in and around the ruins in Greece is strangely illustrated by the fact that in the bathroom, in its place where it had actually been used, was found a portion of an earthenware tub made of thick terracotta; and here let Dr. Dorpfeld, Schliemann’s co-worker, speak of its discovery: “Its form agreed pretty nearly with that of our bathing tubs. It was furnished with a thick upper rim, and with strong handles on the sides, and it was painted within with spiral ornament” In fact it was one Of the “well-polished bathing tubs” often mentioned by Homer. And yet. If the argument be good, and that Tiryns was destroyed at the date mentioned, this bathing tub must have lain there for some S.OOOyears, so carefully does the earth preserve records of the past for the patient worker who oarefully knows how to set about discovering them.

BITING ITS OWN LEGS.

The Utd Antics of a Horse That Had the Hydrophobia. Bill King, of Fairburn, has a horse that has hyorophobia, from all appearances, says the Atlanta Constitution. The horse at intervals has spasms or paroxysms. It bites its own legs and feet and breast. It is terrible to behold how it fastens its teeth in its own flesh and tears the skin and flesh from its bones. King says the horse bit him on the arm yesterday, but he did not think anything about it until his horse became unmanageable and he tied around his neck a rope and tied the rope to a tree in Ills lot. The horse would catch his leg in his mouth and bite and pull it until he threw himself on the ground, then he would turn and wallow on the ground for some time, then he would get quiet, gently get up and stand Btp.ll awhile. In a few minutes he would commence his antics again, and bite the tree near him, then the rope, and then he would bite his breast and pull the flesh off in strips; then he would catch his legs and pull and bite the skin off in strips; then he would catch his leg in his mouth and pull and jerk until he would fall to the ground. Every one was afraid to go near him. Some suggested bleeding, but no one was found who would undertake the job. Bystanders suggested that the horse be shot and put him out of so much suffering and pain. The last seen of Mr. King he was hunting for some one to shoot his horse.

HOW TO BUY A HORSE.

Von Needn’t Know Anything—Just Pretend to be Wtn Posted. A friend of mind, who is a greenhorn in the matter ,of horseflesh, was anxious to purchase a horse, but Was much afraid of being taken in, the Pall Mall Gazette. He tried to persuade an acquaintance experienced in such matters to accompany him to inspect an animal on sale at a horse dealer’s establishment. “There’s no occasion,” said the latter, “for me to accompany you. All y o u have to do is to seem knowing. When you get to the place put your hands in your pockets, and your stick under your arm, and in an off-handed manner say: ‘Groom, run him down. Now, then, pull him up and let him walk; then la a knowing but doubtful tone: Open his mouth. What did you say his age was? I think he’s a little long in the tooth. Seven years did you say he was? I should call him ten or eleven years old. Oh, he’s a very cobby little chap, but I think you’re asking out of the way.’” My friend found the above an excellent formula. A Dreadful Voice from the Tomb. One of the treasures of the Edison phonograph works at Orange, N. J., is a cylender that was impressed with the voice of the late John McCullough, the ad or, who died in a madhouse, The impression was taken while he was in confinement. Rambling passages from the plays in which he acted were recited in a voice of wonderful power and pathos, but at the end of each passage the actor would stop and say in a voice to chill the h’ood: * ‘But now Tm mad—ha. ho, 1 . ha, ha, ah-h-h-h. ” The end o 'h was all but indisoribable. drew in his breath with a t . sat was partly a shriek and pai. a gasp.

A SPLIT GOLD COIN.

On* of tho Product* of the Mint That Barely Get* Into Circulation. “Two tens for a twenty, please,” , said a gentleman to the cashier in the county treasurer’s office at San Francisco. The cashier took the twenty anti * rang it oh the counter. It had that' peculiar ring that characterizes { counterfeit coins. He rung it the second time and then inspected it critically. “Is it bogus?’’ asked the owner of the coin. “Oh, no,” answered the cashier. “It’s as good as wheat, but split.” Continuing, he said: “That is the first split twenty I ever ran across, The stamping-machine at the mint sometimes comes down too hard on the coins and splits them; but it is seldom the larger ooins split. It’s mostly fives that suffer. But they are Scareful at the mint and stop every coin they detect. Now, in the sands of dollars handled here every year I rarely find a split coin. I don’t think I’ve found more than four or five in a year, and, as 1 say, the coins were mostly |5 pieces.” The split S2O piece looked perfect, and, so far as the eye could dfitect, bore no flaw of any kind. The only fault with it was in the “ring,” and the split made it sound “dead” when

HOW TO SIT A HORSE.

Direction* to BquftfttriMUMft Who WUh to Hide Easily and Gracefully. William A. MoGibbon, an expert, writes at follows to say how a woman, should sit a horse: 'lhe body should bs balanced exactly in the middle of the saddle, and far enough back to grasp the Becond pommel with the right knee comforably, while the left one Is just spanned by the third pommel or leaping horn. The rider is now sitting on that part of the animal which is the oenter of motion; the head erect turning easily without involving the body; eyes looking over the horse’s head in the direction he is going, shoulders well thrown back so as to expand the chest taking care to keep them in line and not to raise one higher than the other; tho small of the back slightly bent forward, upper part of the arms hanging straight down from the shoulders and hold locsoly, but dose to the sides, the forearm straight out from thy elbows; wrists rounded inward and on a level with the elbows, each hand holding a rein, fingers olosed. knuckles lt> the front thumbs extended on tho on;Is of the reins and pointed across the body; hands held five or six incites apart according to the width of tho horde’s neck in front of the body. From the knee to the foot the right leg must be held close to the forelap of the saddle, the heel raised and inclined backward a little. The right side of the upper part of the right log from the knee to the hip joint should be turned on its outer side and held close to the saddle, and the inside of the upper part of the left leg Bbould be in contact with the saddle. The left knee should be placed just below the third pommel, and the lower part of the leg should hang straight down from the knee and close to the side flap of the saddle, the upper part of the legs only to leave the saddle at the rising trot The foot Bhould be placed evenly In the stirrup as far as the ball, the heel being held a little lower aud pointed toward the shoulders of the horse. The body should be pliant and accompany the movement of the horse.

AN INDIAN GHOST STORY.

A Kansas College Professor Tells a Weird Tale. A college profeasor who was stopping at a house near Harrington, Kan., was awakened by a light in his room, and, white with terror, he looked out from his bed to see an Indian in full war paint, but as ethereal as a wraith, standing before him, beokoning. He followed, and was lead to the grand parlor on the floor beneath, where in a circle, with the beautiful paintings, the upright piano, the book oases and the portiers for the background, stood a group of ghastly warriors, each with stern and solemn countenance. Silently they excavated a shallow grave in the parlor floor and brought one of their number—a ghostly corpse —and led him therein. Then while the professor stood with hair erect and starting eyes, they circled about the grave (or what appeared to be such), and finally filed out through the door. There was a slamming of window blinds a rattling of casements and a whirl of damp air, and the professor stood alone in the great parlor with the piano and books about him. He returned to his room, and the next day, taking a hint from his night’s experience, examined oarefully the debris thrown out by the workmen excavating the cellar. He found unmistakable evidences that the height had been used as a burial ground by the Indian tribes in the past. The spectral funeral which he witnessed was the repetition of one of their old burials.

POUNDED A LEADING FAMILY.

▲ Broken Saddle Obtk’i Fart In the History of a Town. lit a York ooanty town one of the leading families is that of the name of Walker, and the story of its foundation would afford fit material for a ro> mandat, says the Lewiston Journal. It was over two hundred years ago and more when a young Brunswick lady of wealth, accompanied by her groom, galloped through on her way to Boston. There were no railroads then, and the stage or horseback was the aooepted means of locomotion. Miss Furinton chose the latter. As she went her saddle girth broke, and no one could be found to repair the damage except young Andrew Walker, who kept a little harness shop in the village. He was desperately poor, but desperately handsome, and as he mended the broken strap he at the same time broke our fair maid’s heart He, too, was stricken by the self-same shaft from Cupid’s bcw. It was a case | of love at first sight. The sequel was I that he earned a home, pressed his suit, and won his bride, and both fell aeleep, full of years and honor.
