QUEER FISH THESE.
An extraordinary discovery of sub
terranean rtah w. made at Goshen, N.
T., recently, when a heavy explosive
wa us.'d to Are a driven well. A col
umn of w iter was poutl 300 feet, and
with the debris came three very cur
ious fish. One struck near the well
and fioprel back into it, and the other
two were captured. The larger meas
ured eight Inches In length and weigh
ed lmt half a pound. The fish wvre
similar in shape to a frankfurter sau-
aaije. A bystander caught the big one,
but says h received a heavy electric
shock when he touched It. He Mruck
at it with a hatchet and the blade
glancei jff the body. It soon died. The
survivor !s covered with small scales
so arranged as to render It impossible
to tell tvhbh end Is head and which
tall. Heading either way it swims
equally well, but prefers to burrow un
der a heap at sand.
THi: I5IGGEST MAN.
Edward Beaupre, a young French
CanadUn giant, ia bellived to be the
biggest man in the warld. Although
but 20 vears old. he stands seven feet
eight inches tall, and weighs 362 pounds.
His feet are 17V4 inch3s long and his
arm close to the armpit measures 54
inches. Young Beaupre's father is a

BKITISH LOSSES IN TRANSVAAL.
The losses of the British army in South
Africa in the month of February add
seriously to the total, which, since the
beginning of the war, amounts to 56,
158. all told.
The killed In action in February num
bered five officers and 123 men; died of
wounds, six officers and 5S men, and
of disease, sixteen officers and 558 men.
There were two officers and twenty men
accidentally killed. Total missing. 796.
The number Invalided to England was
CO officers and 149S men, and 4S4 were
wounded. The proportion of killed to
wounded reachej the extraordinary high
. . . -( ... . .n
ratio 01 1 lO . inere. rre imi-
cers and nine men reported missing and
C2 surrendered.
Altogether the deaths from all causes
to the end of February amounted to
664 oPicers and 13.137 men. No fewer
than 1763 officers and 40,594 men were
sent to England as invalids, but most
of these are reported to have rejoined
the ranks In Great Britain or South
Africa.
The caiuiltles from fighting and dis
ea?e were greater in February than in
January. The Boer los"e from the
same causes are unknown.
ODD CLUB FOR WOMEN.
Vienna has a rew society which
thould rouse some American cities to
noble emulation. No woman not di
vorced Is eligible to membership, but
there ls nothing frivolous about the
organization.
It Is to be called the Humanity Club,
and its badge Is a sllvr ring, engrav
ed with that word, and worn on the
wedding fing?r. The appropriateness
of tli name ?e.'ms a trifle occult; but
presumably, a divorced women has
more tioubles of her own, In Austria,
than here and needs mora! support.
The Idea of a band of divorced women
meeting weekly "for mutual entertain
ment and support" jdll probably strike
the average American cltli!"n as dis
tinctly humorius; but it Is a serious
mitter, -In Vienna, and ".he club pro
poses building for !tself a permanent
home.
SAVED BY A. MIRACLE.
N. Y. Sun.
QT'EPEO, Mar. 23. The nuns of the
Congregation of Notre Dame are at
present saying prayers to thank prov
idence for what :hey believe to have
been a mliacle in Montreal.
At the million-dollar fire which oc
curred In that city on Saturday last
and which had been glv?n them by
warehouses In the rear of the famous
parish church of Notre Dame, grave
fears were entertained for the safety
nf the statelv pile, and at one period
almost e"ry hop;; of raving it had dis
appeared. At this) moment the sisters sent to the
firemen a piece of blue ribbon which Is
said to b'ive belonged to St. Amable,
and which had been give nthem by
Mon'r Eru hesi. The captain of the
first brigade was asked to throw the
ribbon Into the flames where they
threatened the church most, and it Is
deoh'.io.i that immediately after he had
don? so the fire miraculously subsided
in that directin and the church was
haved. '
.A. similar miracle is said to have been
wrought In this city some time ago.
The exoosure of a statue of the Virgin
M try In fr nt of a convent Is said to
6-e
have saved it fivm destruction In a
Mr; which vpt out of ex .ftenc? every
other building for several hl.vks near

ONE ON THE NEW YORK SUN.
Washington Post.
A contributor to the New York Sun's
tobacco eontroversy writes as follows:
"Why, yesterday I saw a respectable
man coming home from church w-ith
his wife and a pipe in his mouth." A
man with a mou'.h ueh dimensions
ought to bi able to gvt a steady muse
um job. By the way. where was the
Sun's office cat when this one slipped
in?
J42.V) FOR T.
Peter Greenhalgh. f Venango, Pa.,
bought an old safe for 17 at an ad
ministrator's sale. The safe had been
drilled ope-n before the auction and
nothing of value discovered. Green
halgh carted the safe to the farm.
"I think I made a bad bargain," said
he to his wife; "this safe is not worth
7."
But In pry'ng between the partitions
Peter found gold and bank n tes to the
amount of J4250.
SOME NONSENSE.
The sons of Erin have long labored
under the imputation of making more
breaks" with their tongues than any
of their fellow-mortals, but from the
following it would seem that the "bull"
is not necessarily Indigenous to Irish
soil.
It wis a Frenchman who in writing
o an acquaintance said: "I left my
knife at your office yesterday. If you
find it pleas-e send it to me. Yours,
Le Roque.
'P. S. Since writing this I have
found my knife, So you need not trou
ble to send it."
The sane individual sent a present
of some fruit to a friend, and In the
bottom of the basket he place, a note,
the postscript to which r-ad: "You.
will find this note in the bottom of
the basket, but if y.u do not, let me
know Immediately."
It wis the Scotchman who said: "The
butcher 'n our town do-s such a small
business that he only ha3 t kill half
a beef at a time."
A German in adv rtising for a lost
Die. said: "It has no earmarks ex
cept its tail, which is missing."
A British magistrate, on being In
formed by a vagibond that he had no
wife, respond!: "Well, that's a lucky
thing for her."
At a prayer Tilting In Vermont a
pious old dea-eon invoked a blessslng on
a "poor young man wh je father if
a drunkard and whose mother is a
widow."
At a negro bill the doorkeeper, on be
ing asked what "Not transferable'.' on
the tickets m-ant, r-pll'-d: "It means
dat no gentleman am admitted 'less he
come hisself."
The mother of an Anvei an girl who
made a brilliant marriage with a scion
of a not-d English family, once ask
ed Chartran. th- pain'''r, f r the ad
dress of a no'.ftd sculptor. In r-xplainlrg
her reason for so doing she slid:
"Mary has such a lovely arm, I want
to have a bust -nad of it."
It wa.4 the -a me woman, who In
speaking of ;nas'juerad-?, said. "I
shall always like masque balls. The
first time I met rny husband was at a
masquerade and he was in the gar
bage of a monk."
Another Amr'"a:i woman with un
bounded wealth .i.n i ambitions start
led the hot"l clerk l,y asking for the
address of "any of the old masters."
She explained that si." wanted a por
trait painted.

FUNSTON S EXCITING CAREER.
Captor of
Aguinatdo and
Exploits.
His Thrilling
Hrigadier-G -neral Frederick Funston.
whose daring scheme for the capture of
Agutnaldo has Just been crowned with
success, has figured In many exciting
adventures, not alone u"n the field of
battle, but upon others.
Being connected with the agricultur
al department, he has twice been ent.
for botanical purjKwes. to Alask. In
the latter expedition, after his compan
ions had aided him in building a canoe,
h' made alone the perilous trip of
1500 miles down the Yukon river. Near
ing the end of his Journey, the boat
capsized and he struggled for life in
the icv water. He succeeded in saving
himself, only to be threatened with
death from cold and starvation; but.
fortunately, he came across a mission
ary outnost. As it was, he nearly died
of pneumonia and declared that h?
would never again take part In any i
dangerous und-rtaking.
But his adventurous spirit Id him to
Cuba. There he enlisted In the insur
gent army and nerved under Generals
Gomez and Garcia for eighteen months.
He soon became commander of the
Cuban artillery. In beading a cavalry i as they were climbing th- tlr- e.eap".
charge he was .v.iund-d in both lungs, i He flrel s'-veral shots i the fugitives,
His horse, being sh..t. fell upon him, land on who fell, but regain 'd his t-,
crushing his right leg. In endeavor- I is believed to have leeu Doherty. .-th.irt-ing
to crawl to the Cubans, a party of j y after mi Inight the men returned.
Spaniards captured him, but r-a iy w it
gerved him a gj'i.1 turn. Immediately
he told them that he was an Ameri
can and had Joined the CuBan army,
but had all he wanted of it and had
come to the Spaniards. It was at
this time that President McKInley Is
sued his first me.iage. The Spaniards
being ipiieted ' by its pacific tone and
believing Funston's story, allowed him
to leave the island.
On reaching the United Stttes, ow
ing to his woundej condition, he was
obliged to go to a hospital, where he
remained for some time. When hostil
ities with Spain broke out he offered
his services and was commissioned as
colonel of the Twenty-second Kansas, i
While the regiment was at San Fran-
cis:o. orevious to denarting for Ma -
cis:o, previous to departing ror -via
nlla, the doughty colonel surrendered
for the first time, but this time it wis j
to Cupid. His beautiful bride accom
panied him to Manila, where he soon j
distinguished himself by his courage f
and dash. On the march to Malolos his j
gallantry in crossing the Rio Grade rlv-
er with t detachment of his regiment, :
the Twentieth Kansas volunteers, In the
race of a galling fire from the rebel j
trenches, won for blm the rank of a j
brigadier-general and made his name
famous In the annals of the Philip
pine campaign. He was wounded in the
arm In the attack upon Santo Tomas,
but was soon In h;irnes again, asd, un
11 recalled with his regliicnt to be mus
tered out of the service, was always
counted upon when any service re
quiring more than ordinary pluck and
activity was needed.
Upon his return the people of Kan
sas received him with every manifesta
I
tion of Joy, and he was presented- with
a gold sword, which cost $1000. as a
mark of popular esteem. Almost Im
mediately afp-r his regiment had been
mustered out he was offered a brigade
In the new volunteer forces, and,
promptly accepting the position, return,
ed to the Philippines in November last.
Since that time he has frequently up
held bis reputation for bravery ' and
tireless activity in stamping out the
straggling bands of rebels In various
parts of Luzon.
Oeneral Funston Is an Ohio min, born
at New Carlisle on November 9, 1865,

one of that hard-bitten race of workers
and fighters which movew from Ken
