Mari Displays His Grief in a Queer Sort “ of Way. “Did you notice that man register,” asked the clerk of an uptown hotel of a Washington Times writer, as a sad-faced man turned away from the desk. He had written his own name and another on the record. “He has been coming here for four or five years t-hntI remem— ber,” continued the. clerk. “The name that follows his own is that of his son, though the latter has been dead for three years. “It is a case full of "sadness. That man makes regular trips to the city, and he used to always bring his boy, a bright-looking youth of about 16. The father was very'devoted to him, and the boy did seem to be a. rattling good fellow. They always shared the same room, always went out together, and seemed chumslmore than father and son. But the boy died. The next time the father came to the hotel there was a marked change in his ap- pearance. He walked silently up to the desk and registered. After writing his 'own name, he placed that of his son be- neath it, just as he formerly did. I called his attention to it, but a. tear came to his eye, and he said nothing, "so I immediately changed the subject. Ever since that day he has registered in that manner when he came to the city. Once in awhile he will 'order an extra dinner and have it set on the table be- side him, just where his boy used to sit. He never speaks of the boy.” ARMY BULLETS FOR GAME. Objected to on Account of Their Great Penetration. Something for sportsmen to consider seriously, if they intend to get one of the new 30-caliber army rifles, is the great penetration of the bullets. One of the bullets would kill a man through a four-foot spruce tree, or a. cow 3. mile and more away. N o ordinary tree'can‘. be depended on to stop one of these bul- lets, audit might easily travel half a mile through dense woods and hit- a man far out of sight with deadly effect. Field and Stream says that the next legislatures of our great game states should pass a. law prohibiting the use of a jacketed bullet, because of the den- ger to human beings. Another argu- ment it offers-in favor of such a. law will have great. influence on the menwho do not wish to wound without killing the game. “This class of bullets is useless for large game unless soft pointed.” it says, “as it rarely kills instantly, but allows the game to die from internal hemorrhage and in terrible agonyout of reach." When such a. rifle is used for big game a bullet that mushrooms should be em- ployed. The mushrooming bullet will kill anything, as it goes clear through an elk, moose, or deer, and the force of the impact would knock a. running griz- zly down. TELLTALE FORCE OF HABIT. This Bank Clerk Unconsciously Revealed His Occupation. They were both students at the new school of psychology, physiognomy and metaphysics. They dropped into an. all- night restaurant and were talking of hypnotism, says the New York Press. “See that young man over there near the ice-box?” asked one. “Yes, why?” answered the other. “What business does he follow?” judg- ing from scientific observation ?” “He is either a night operator or a gambler.” “By what reasoning?” “Because he is pale and nervous. The sun never shines on him. He has a voca- tion that keeps his nerves at a. high tension.” The students left the contemplation of scientific research to investigate the merits of two clam chowders. “I’ll tell you what line of business that man follows,” said the. second philoso- pher, after a long pause. “Well, what does he do for a. living?" “Paying teller in a bank.” “How do you know?” . “I watched him when the ‘ waiter brought his pancakes a minute ago. He dampened his fingers and run them Over to see if the count was right.” THE HUMAN EYE. the One That Is Most'csed Is Strongest. You are either left-eyed or right-eyed, unless you are the one person out- Of every 15 who has eyes of equal strength. You also belong to the small minority of one out of every ten persons if your left eye is stronger than your right. As a rule, just as people are right-hand- ed, they are right-eyed. This is probably due to the generally greater use of the organs of the right side of the body, as, for example, a. sportsman, using his right arm and shoulder, uses his right eye to sight his gun, thereby strengthening it with ex- ercise. Old sea. captains, after long use of the telescope, find their right eye much stronger than the left. The law is con- firmed by the experience Of aurists. If a. person who has ears of equal hear- ing has cause to use one car more than the other for a. long period, the ear brought into requisition is found to be much strengthened, and the ear which is not used loses its hearing in a. cor- responding degree. Like the Arm, Transparent Umbrellas. Umbrella. making is among the most interesting of industries. Something like 1,000 patents have been. taken out during the last 20 years. The most re- ' cent inventor, who, if successful, will eclipse all rivals, is a maker who claims to have contrived a. transparent um- brella,which,while being equally water- proof with silks and alpacas, will have the great advantage of allowing, the wayfarer in a rainstorm to avoid colli- sion withlamp posts and other obsta- cles along the way.

CAPTAIN BOURKE’S DEMISE. .The Grim Reaper Ends the Earthly Ca- reer of a Gallant Pennsylvania SOldier, Who Was Also Well Known as an Author. I PARIS, June 9. —J ules Francois Simon, the celebrated statesman, life member of the French senate, member of the French academy, perpetual secretary of the Acad- emy of Moral and Political Sciences and formerly prime minister of France, ls dead. He was born on Dec. 31, 1814. His full name was Jules Francois Simon Suisse, but he has never been known by any but the shorter form. In 1877 M. Simon be- came premier upon the resignation of M. Dufurae. The cabinet lasted until May 16. 1877, when it Was virtually dismissed by Marshal MacMahon. M. Simon was elect- ed a member of the French academy in 1875. The list of M. Simon’s books Is a long one. He obtained distinction as an authority on historical and economic sub- jects and was a contributor to the most im- portant of the French reviews. After his education at the N Ormal school he became a fellow of philosophy, and his lectures at Caen and Versailles Were a brilliant success. It was Victor Cousin ,who procured for him a. position in the Normal school at Paris. Soon after he be- M. JULES SIMON. came principal lecturer in history. In 1845 he was made a knight of the Legion .. of Honor and stood as a candidate for the chamber, but was defeated. After the rev. olutlon of- February, 1848, M. Simon was elected to the constituent assembly from the department of the Cotes du Nord. He acted with the Moderate Left. In March, 1849, he was elected a member of the coun- oil of state and resigned his seat as a rep- resentative. On the reconstitution by the legislative assembly of the first half of the council he was dropped and found himself removed from public life for the time be- In . . g . As a Free Trader. After the coup d’etat he refused to take the oath of allegiance to the empire, and his lectures on philosophy at Sorbonne were suspended. In 1863 he was sent to the corps legislatif from the Eighth cir- conscrlption of the Seine. ' M. Simon ‘soon became the chief of the Republican party. He ranked high as an orator and came out as an earnest advo cate of free trade. In November, 1891, he once more appeared on the political scene as an advocate of free trade and at the same time delivered a great but useless antiprotectionist speech. On the formation of the government of national defense he became minister of public instruction, public worship and the fine arts. He was chosen by M. Thiers as minister of public instruction in the cabinet of con- ciliation. In December, 1875, he was elect- ed a senator for life. Then follOWed his elevation to the premiership, as heretofore related. Death of Captain Bourke. PHILADELPHIA, June 9.-—-Captaln John G. Bourke, Third cavalry, United States army, died at the Polyclinio hospital, where he had been under treatment for about three Weeks. He had been suffering for a long while from the effects of disease con- tracted while campaigning in Texas and the far west. He enlisted as a private in the Fifteenth Pennsylvania cavalry in 1862 and took part In the campaign of the Army of the Cumberland under Rosecrans and Thomas. 'He was awarded a medal of honor for gallantry at Stone River. At the close of the war Captain Bourke was appointed by President Lincoln a cadet at large to the West Point Military academy, from which he graduated in 1869. He saw much service in Indian warfare and was mentioned for gallantry in engagements with Indians. He was a member of sci- entific societies in France. England and the United States and wrote much upon anthropology and folklore. One of his most valuable monographs upon the med- icine men of the Apaches was published by the Smithsonian institute. His most pOpular books, “0n the Border With Crook,” “An Apache Campaign” and “The Snake Dance of the Moguls,” have had editions in New York and London. At the meeting of the American Folk- lore soeiety. held in this city in December last, Captain Bourke was chosen presi- dent. He was 53 years old and leaves a widow and three daughters. Captain Bourke’s remains will be interred in the National cemetery at Arlington. Thieves In a Dwelling. IRVINGTON, N.
