V It was stated by a resident of Sullivan's Island that several officers were reported wounded,Capt Hanna being one of them. He said it was difficult to learn just how many were wounded when the fragments of the cannon scattered among the soldiers close by. It was reported that the breech had not been properly closed after the insertion of a cartridge and that when the cap was exploded the breech was thrown back with terrific force. The wounded men were rusnea to the post hospital, where immediate attention was given them. Several Charleston physicians, responding to the alarm,went hurriedly to the fort and assisted in taking care of the victims.?Xetcs & Courier. Constipation Cured.

As everybody knows, there have been devised various methods whereby exceedingly low temperatures have been obtained. While the arctic regions provide some fairly cold weather?say, GO or to degrees below zero, F.?the scientists have been able to surpass nature's achievements in this line, and when they wish 150 or 250 de grees below zero they can obtain it. How this is done it is unnecessary here to state. It is interesting to note the effects of such low temperatures on animal life. Dogs when introduced to such an environment withstand it well, provided they are covered in blankets and wool and provided the experiment is of short duration. But a curious fact is that when they emerge from such a temperature they are fearfully hungry. Having seen that dogs stood the experiments well, one experimenter tried the effects of intense cold upon himself and went down into his "cold pit" carefully dressed in warm clothing and furs. The temperature was maintained steadily at 110.below zero C\, 106 F. After four minutes the experimenter felt very hungry and was more so when he put an end to the experiment, coming out of the cold after eight minutes. He took a hear:y meal and enjoyed it thoroughly, and this seemed all the more strange since for years he had not known what it meant to be hungry. Appetite had been a word without meaning to him, and the digestion of each meal was commonly such a painful process that he ate very little and never enjoyed it. He repeated the "cold experiment" dailv for a week, and after eight cold baths of eight or ten minutes each his pain and distress after eiting vanished. Appetite was restored and digestion became painloee TIarnnr'c Wcotlv 1VCO. iKti j'v I o ?? WU1J Irving and the Bagpipes. The bagpipes have av strange attraction for all sorts and conditions of people. That enthusiastic Highlander, Dr. Alexander Duncan Frazer, in his book. "Some Reminiscences and the Bagpipe," tells how Henry Irving was lying seriously ill in a Glasgow hotel when a Highland gathering was being celebrated in a room below. He sent a message begging that the piper would play to him, -which he did, marching tip and down the passage outside the sickroom. Then the great actor told the piper how, in his youth, he had played in Glasgow in a piece called "The Siege of Lucknow." His entry was the signal for the pipes to strike up. "I shall never forget," he said, "the wave of enthusiasm that swept over that great audience as the first notes of the pipe fell upon their ears?the Highlanders were coming, Jessie's dream was answered, and Lucknow was relieved. I have loved the pipes ever since." Scientific Discovery by a Cat. The cat has often served the purposes of science, hut generally not to her own comfort and frequently with the loss of her life. One cat in Australia, however, proved her usefulness in the advancement of human knowjedge without being compelled to sacrifice herself ,on the altar of science. This cat belonged to a member of an expedition into the interior of Australia. One day it brousrht to its master a stranere little animal which it had captured among the Tocks. The trooper handed the animal over to the anthropologist of the party, who saw at once that pussy had made an important discovery. The animal she had caught was a new and apparently rare species of the tribe of insect eating marsupials belonging to the great family of which the giant kangaroo is the most conspicuous representative.?Harper's. A Federal Duel. The most terrible duel fought at any time in Paris was the one between Colonel P., an old Honapartist officer, and M. de G. of the gardes du corps, a mere youth but of herculean strength. The two men, lashed together so as to leave their right arms free, were armed with short knives, placed in a hacknev coach and driven at a tearing gallop around the Place de la Concorde. They were taken out of the i coach dead. The colonel had eight- , een stabs, the youth only four, but one of these bad pierced his heart. They Didn't Tally.
