When Policeman Rourke, of the Clymer street station, Williamsburg, saw a nude figure dancing in the moonlight on the side walk at Throop avenue, at about three o clock the other morning, he rubbed his eyes to make sure he hadn't accidentally fallen inio a nap. Then he advanced on the figure and found it was an old pian, bearded, and with a dignified expression, gravely skipping and pirouetting with his shadow for a partner. What are you doing here? asked the policeman. Are you crazy? But the weird figure made no reply and kept on caracoling and bowing with evident pleasure.

The dancer was Solomon Rosenbaum, sixty-nin- e years old, who lives with his wife and sons and daughters on Throop avenue. He used to have a fruit and produce business, but lost much money in the recent financial troubles and has been mentally unbalanced ever since. Members of his family recently have kept a close watch on him, fearing he would attempt to kill himself, and the other day his clothes were taken from him, the presumption being that without them he would not attempt to leave the house. A doctor was called and had the old man put in a straightjacket. He fought so In the ambulance that was taking him to Kings County hospital to have his mental condition examined that he broke the straightjacket and had to be held down by the attendants.

One of the most remarkable cases of skin grafting known to the medical scientists of the state is that now in course of treatment upon Forbes Bailey at the City hospital. Bailey was horribly burned about six months ago by burning waste alleged to have been placed down his back in a Joke by a fellow employe at the Lima Locomotive works. He was removed to the hospital six weeks ago and skin grafting begun, and the slow process has been on since that date, at this time over 300 pieces of skin, soma no larger than the head of a pieces tack, are growing. Twenty-fivwere added the other day, contributed by a girl cousin of the patient, while many other persons have already contributed skin from their own bodies in order that the life of the victim may be spared. The surgeons estimate it will require 2,000 pieces of skin In varying necessarily sizes, and the process, slow, will require a period of at least At the present time the six months. patient is doing nicely, though It has been impossible for him to lie upon his back. Another girl cousin has consented to furnish the next supply of skin, and in a few days will submit to the operation of permitting a number of small pieces of cuticle to be removed from her and placed upon the back of her kinsman. e PULLMAN HELD UP BY COW. Animal Chases People Off Street In Washington Town. Enraged Pullman, Wash An enraged cow created much alarm on the streets of Pullman recently. The cow was being driven through town by I. E. Henshaw, when she began chasing pedestrians. J. S. Klemgard had a narrow escape, the cow falling on the sidewalk when but a few feet from him. She chased a man Into Bickford & Hathaways chop mill and knock the door off its A hinges as the man swung It shut. farmer's team narrowly escaped being gored, the cow making two vicious lunges at one of the horses. Mr. Henshaw finally got a rope on the cow and dragged her ofT the streets, to the amusement of a large crowd. A man canie out of a blacksmith shop with a wagon spoke in his hand and started to drive the cow off the sidewalk in front of the shop. The cow lunged at him and ran the length of the rope, but the man, evidently not knowing that the cow was roped, ran back through the shop, out of the back door and up a steep hill In the rear, while the crowd cheered Itself hoarse. A Youngster taught HEREAFTER. Outspokenness That Grandpa a Lesson. There is a very man In Brooklyn who is particularly proud of his grandson, a bright boy of four years and a few mouths. But, like all fond grandpas, he believed teasing amusing to the child as well as to himself and he recently received the shock he deserved. The little lad was piayiug Industriously with a doll when the proud grandpa said: "My! playing with a doll why your name must be Susie not Ralph. No word from the boy, who kept right on playing with the doll. Susie, said the grandpa, just rushing to his fate, do you like dolls?" The boy moved perceptibly, but clung to the doll. Dear little Susie you used to be well-know- a boy. The boy lifted his head indignantly and with deep pathos, said: Grandpa, I hate to tell you so, but youre a d fool. Great was the consternation of the grandfather and amazement of the mother, who tragically ordered the boy to his room, while she called attention to the tears that rolled down her cheeks at such a fearful offense. Finally ahe told the little fellow that he might be forgiven if he begged his grandpas pardon. But the boy believed his grandpa the offender and said so. His mother sternly read him a lesson against profanity, and especially about disrespect to grandparents. The little fellow was touched, and going over to his grandpa said, compromisingly: I am sorry I called you a d fool but if I cannot call you a fool can I call you a lemon? Hereafter grandpa will call Ralph by his right name Rrooklyn Eagle. Naming the Baby. The naming of a baby Is considered Important even among people whom we are apt to regard as uncivilized. And, curiously enough, these very folk contrive to avoid the arguments that so often ensue when father and mother disagree over whether the little stranger shall be called Jack or Mannaduke, Priscilla or Jane. The Mahometan father and mother each write the choice of a name on a Blip of paper and place both In the Koran. Whichever slip is drawn first is the name given to the child. A pretty Egyptian custom is to light three candles, naming each after a god or some exalted personage. The child Is called after the candle which burns longest. Hindu mothers name their children, paterfamilias not having a word to say in the matter. The naming ceremony usually takes place when the baby is about 12 days old, and a flower name Is usually chosen. Chinese girls are simply numbered one, two, or three, until they reach years of discretion, when they are allowed to choose a name for themselves. The boys, however, are given a temporary name until they are 20, when pa decides what magnificent appellation they shall rejoice In for the rest of their lives. N. Y. Weekly. Ignorance of the Bible. Biblical allusions, which permeate our literature, touch no responsive chord In the majority of college students nowadays, writes Prof. W. L. Cross, in Education. Though some of them are fairly familiar with names like Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Samson, David and Daniel, very few know anything about the lives of these men as related in the scriptures. Not long ago, to recall an extreme case, not one of 40 Btudents under my instruction could quite place Judas Iscariot; and a venerable colleague of mine discovered a Jew among the seniors who had never heard of Moses. To lift the burden of this Ignorance, several colleges have recently incorporated parts of the Old Testament Into their most elementary courses In English with great success from the standpoint both of the student and of the Instructor. But a knowledge of the Bible obviously belongs to an earlier stage than this. It Is a pity that political and religious considerations stand In the way of Introducing Into the public schools an available body of splendid literature. Fortunately politics and prejudice cannot hamper many of the large preparatory schools. m ABANDON OLD ROAr &ENNSYLVANIA HIGHWAY CUMBS TO FATE.

A queer chapter of accidents, fires, forsaken farms and an almost deserted village has to do with the history oi this old highway. It was built as a state road nearly half a century ago, at which time the business of lumbering was just opening the Pine Creek region with its wealth of pine hemlock to the markets of the world. For 40 years the road was an artery of trade between the plateau settlers on top of the Alleghenies and the timber men, raftsmen and railroaders in the valley far below. The Cain mal and Black Forest Timber railroad was pushed back Into the western tracts for a dozen miles, and the big Wood Sc Childs sawmill became one ol the biggest and best "sawdust makers in all this section. A large wooden pipe mill was built at which 60 men found employment; 75 houses were built with funds borrowed out of its building and loan as sociation of this city and Camnial was the busiest place of any along the Pine Creek railroad between Jersey 'Shore and Wellsboro. A great stretch of pitch pine forest on the summits of the hills in the Okonte region to the east of Camnial attracted a Shenandoah mine timber constructor, lie built a narrow-gaugrailroad, known as the Texas and Oregon, from Canimal to Okonte, and for eight years train load after train load of prop timber came screeching and rumbling down over the little tramway, behind the grinding cogwheel locomotive. Camnial just throbbed with business. But one night fire destroyed the pipe mill; It was rebuilt on a much smaller scale. Then a forest fire, the worst ever known in Pennsylvania lumbering, swept, a portion of the Wood & Childs tract, destroying a great amount of timber, eating up two lumber camps, sending the men, women and children into creeks and swamps for safety until the wall of fire had passed. Two of the men, who for three days and three nights had fought the awful flames, met death in them, having been caught in a circle of "backfiring. One evening the little locomotive on the Texas and Oregon was coming down from the summit of the grade with five loaded cars behind It. There were 11 men aboard, some of them woodsmen from the cap and the othA rain had fallen ers the trainmen. that afternoon, and, on a steep grade, the little "lokle, though the wheels were locked, began to slip. In an instant the weight of the train behind had pushed the train Into a momentum beyond control. Then the men began to jump. Two miles down the hill, at a sharp curve above a embankment, the train left the track and plunged Into the defile. Dead and Injured men lay strewn along the track where they had jumped, and one was taken crushed end lifeless from the cab of the engine. The villagers, a mile below, heard the awful roar of the runaway, and then the echo of its crunching wreckage as It plunged into the defile was A followed by an ominous silence. half mile up the track the first scared villagers, in their mad run, met a bleeding man. As he gasped out: Theyre all killed, the poor fellow He was one of the fell exhausted. four who had survived the awful leap. The seven others were dead. That night as the seven bodies, eaeh under cover of white, lay on the floor of the Fall Brook depot, one of the owners of the Texas and Oregon said: That settles It; there shall never a wheel turn on the Texas and Oregon And that was true; 'three again! months afterward the rails were tae ken up.
