TESTED THE SOLDIER'S NERVE.
Ax Incident Showing the Ports of Tife In
the Jungles of India.
The bluff old major from the
panions. He put a fresh charge of
fragrant tobacco in the veteran nips
that he had been g, and the
2 ee Pere partment
three occupants of the com
lapsed into expectant peaches ~wait.
ing to hear from him,
- oThe bravest man I have ever met
was not on the field of battle,"T he be-
gan. ~~He wasa soldier, but I know
little about his. military record, and
yet when I say he was the bravest
man I ever knew I think I know
what I am talking about. We were
campaigning in India, and for some
months the command had simply
been idling time away. We were
all thoroughly tired of a life of ron-
tine military inactivity, and finally
a party of five of us secured a two
weeksT leave of absenc?, which we
~proposed to spend in a hunt for big:
game. ~
oOne of our number ~was a senior
regimental officer, who had been
through ten yearsT service in India.
He had been the guiding spirit of
our expedition. Seated a few feet.
away from him and to his left was
& young junior company officer,
who had but recently joined the}
command. We had been eating
fruit, which was of a kind that
bears a very peculiar scent. It isa
tradition thatthis native fruit bas a
strong attraction for several varie-
ties of venomous reptiles, which are
peculiar to that climate. I at least
am, convinced that there is some-
| thing more than tradition in it.
o~As I have said, we were talking
;oment.of |
silence, the bidff -6ld-regimental-off-+
eer, looking steadily at the young
lieutenant to his left, slowly said:
ooDo you think you could keep
most trying circumstances, when
your life dependedT upon ~your ~cool.
ness and courage?T
~Dead silence followed: the colo-
nelTs question, and the young offi-
cer, looking quizzically at his inter-
rogator, replied;
~** Yes, I think I could.T
*o*Then the time has come when
you must be put to the test. Move
not a muscle until I tell you, or you
are & dead man.T
~Then ~the bronzed ~ old: ~warrior |
slowly drew his pistol from his hol-
ster, and, taking deliberate aim, ~he
fret a shot at the very feet-of the |
~man to whom he ~had addressed his |
ominous question: For the space of a
second we all sat like statues; then
the:cglonel, ina tone of relief, ex-
Claimed :
all right now, hoya. Tye
~killed it.� ~
~~We were all on our feet in an in?
stant, eager to know what danger
had threatened our youtig éomrade,
At his feet lay the coiling, squirm..|
ing body of a huge cobra, the most
venomous reptile that haunts the
jungles of India. Ithink the man
who calmly faced that danger was
the bravest man l'yeever met, TT said
the major, and no one dissented."

_ Amember of the government
visiting the ade ake ha Kall in
the neighborhood of Doncaster.
Having a pretty wide correspond.
ence and there not being any postal
delivery in the village, the lady at
the hall took a bundle of letters to
~the church on the Sunday evening
and | gave them to the churchward-
en, thinking he would be able to|'T
get them sent to the Doncaster post-
office.
He, not catching what she had
said abont them, came to the con.
clusion that they were something
for him to distribute in the shtertts:
The lady took her seat at the organ..
Then the churchwarden commenced
to take them from pew to pew as far
as they would go.
One young person, looking at hers,
said fo him that it was a stamped
letter and did not belong to her. He
said: ~~Hold thee noise and put it in
thee pocket and read it when thee
gets home. ThereTs something in it
that wil! dc thee good.TT"Pearson's | .

The Nuscles of the Hand,
In the palm of the hand, and be:
tween the metacarpal bones, there
are small muscles (lumbricales and
interossei) which perform the finer
motions"expanding the fingers and
moving them in every direction }.
with quickness and delicacy. These}
extremities of the bones of the fin-
gers where they form the first joint,
being inserted near the center of |
motion, move the ends of the fingers
with very great velocity. They are
the organs which give the hand the
power of spinning, weaving, engrav-
ing, and as they produce the quivk
o1 of of the musician'sT fingers, |
they
are called by the anatomists
fidicinales. The combined strength
of all the muscles, in grasping, mustT
be very great; indeed, the power is |.
exhibited when we see a sailor hang-
ing by a rope and raising his whole
body with one arm.. What, then,
must he the pressure upon the hand?
It. would be too much for the tex-
ture even of bones and tendons, and
certainly for the blood vessels and
| hands, the inside of the fingers and
their lips guarded by cushions. ..To
add to this purely passive defense
there isa muscle which runs across
ports the cushion on the inner edge;
it acts powerfully as we grasp, and |,
it is this muscle which, raising the
edge of the palm, hollows it, and
adapts it to lave water, forming the
sap of Diogenes."Cincinnati En.
