By some means or another a copy of
the little book found Its way to the

received a somewhat tartly worded
communication from the diocesan,
asking when bis lordship bad given
permission for the nse of the manual.
"My dear lord bishop." wrote tbe
vicar, "the same week that your lord

A rumor got about in a village la
Russia, not far from the German fron
tier, that the corpse of a woman who
bad recently been burled had turned In
the coffin. Everybody in the village not
only believed t!i rumor, but ascriled
the prevailing tUvmpht as the cause. A
Tillage t-ouncil was held, and it was de
cided that the husband of the woman
should have the coffin opened and the
body replaced In Its original position.
Tbe husband, however, promptly re
fused, and nothing could persuade him
to yield to the unanimous wish of his
fellow villagers, whereupon the latter
took the matter la their own bands and
went to tbe churchyard to dig op and
open the coffin. To their great surprise
the Iiody lay In Its original position.
Their astonishment was noC lessened
when the legal authorities apiared on
the scene and opened an Inquiry, with
a view of imposing punishment for the
desecration of the grave.
The whole neighborhood was pos
sessed with the Idea that newly burl.id
persons were to blame for the preva
lence of the dry weather, for In anoth
er village, not far off, a grave was
opened and tbe coffin unscrewed to
pour water on the corpse. The be
nighted peasants of this village were
of the opinion that this was tbe best
way to induce the clerk of the weather
to supply them with much needed rain.

The only structures In Japan which
seem to be earthquake proof are the
pagodas, which are erected before the
temples. There are many which are
700 or 800 years old and as solid as
when first built
There is a reason for this and It lies
In their construction. A pagoda Is prac
tically a framework of heavy timbers,
which starts from a wide base, and is
In itself a substantial structure, but is
rendered still more stable by a peculiar
device. Inside the framework and sus
pended from the apex Is a long, heavy
beam of timber two feet thick or more.
This hangs from one end of tbe four
sides; four more heavy timbers, and If
the pagoda be very lofty still more tim
bers, are added to these. The whole
forms an enormous pendulum, which
reaches within six inches of the
ground.
When the shock of an earthquake
rocks the pagoda, tbe pendulum swings
In unison and keeps tbe center of grav
ity always at the base of tbe frame
work. Consequently the equilibrium of
the pagoda is never disturbed, and this
is the explanation of the great age of
many of them, when from their height
one would suppose them to be peculiar
ly susceptible to the effects of the
earthquake.

ed in, and the stomach is subjected to
a thorough cleaning.
Disagreeable indeed the process is at
first Indeed, for the first few times
of the Introduction of the tube tbe pa
tient has often to be held down forci
bly to his seat Then, curious to state,
the dyspeptic gets used to the stomach
tule and even begins to like It The
cranks express such a lougiug for It
that long after they are cured of their
trouble they go on using the stomach
pump once, twice or even three times
a day. They haunt the physician's of
fice and become his bugUar during his
office hours. Then flually, when the
medical man puts his foot down and
flatly refuses to pass the tube nay
more, they procure a stomach pump
for themselves and use it before a
looking glass.
Table Maaaera la Old France.
Could we restore for half an hour the
dinner table of old France and obtain
half a dozen instantaneous photo
graphs of a royal banquet at any era
between the reigns of Francis I and
Louis Quatorze, such a "cataract of
laughter" would be heard as might
disturb the serenity of Louis In para
dise. The duchess, ber napkin tied secure
ly round her neck, would be seen mum
bling a bone, the noble marquis sur
reptitiously scratching himself, the
belle marquise withdrawing her spoon
from her lips to help a neighbor to
sauce with it another fair creature
scouring her plate with ber bread, a
gallant courtier using his doublet or
the tablecloth as a towel for his fin
gers and two footmen holding a yard
of damask under a lady's chin while
she emptied ber goblet at a draft.
During a feast of Inordinate length
it was sometimes necessary to substi
tute a cleau cloth for the one which
the carelessness or bad manners of
the guests had reduced to a deplorable
condition. "An Idler In Old Franc."
by Tighe Hopkins.
Appalling Bratalltr,
Miss Slessor, Scotch missionary, who
has been 24 years In Africa, has her
self saved the lives of over 0 twins.
When twins are born, they are at
once taken from the mother, and if no
one intercedes they are at once taken
by the feet and head and have their
backs broken across a native woman's
knee. In the siime manner as one would
break a stick. The bodies are then
placed In an earthenware receptacle
and taken to the bush, where they are
devoured by the files. Insects or ani
mals. Sometimes the little victims
are put into these receptacles alive aud
are then eaten alive in the same way.
The mother becomes an outcast If
she does not at once take her own life,
she has to flee to the bush. If she
ventures near the town or village, she
must see that she does not remain on
the path when any other native Is com
ing. Her presence, according to their
superstition, would defile the place for
others. She must not drink from the
same spring, must not touch anything
even belonging to ber own relatives.

CaJIforala'a Shark Oil I ndastrr.
The making of shark oil Is the Im
portant Industry of McGarvIu'a Cove,
near Riverside. The process of manu
facture 1 decidedly primitive. The
sharks are caught in every Imaginable
way. by bait and hook, but principally
with the seine. The livers, which con
tain the oil, after being taken from the
fish, are rendered out In cans set over
a brush fire, reminding one somewhat
of the process of obtaining the oil from
whale blubber. The oil Is then put
Into casks and shipped to Los Angeles.
The coarser grades are used In the
making of tarpaulins and other oiled
cloths for use aboard ships, while the
finer grades are put Into the so called
cod liver oil of commerce. The sharks
average from 10 to 25 cents' worth of
oil apiece, and a day's catch usually
nets about $40. Riverside Press.
Isolated People af the Earth.
The people who live In the uorthern
portion of tbe peninsula of Kamchatka
are probably the most Isolated In the
world. The people have practically no
communication with others than their
own tribe, being seldom visited by
travelers.
The inhabitants of the New Siberian
Islands are also detached people, for
they can only communicate with the
mainland once a year even If the
weather is favorable.
The pygmies of the great central Af
rican forests. If they can be called a
tribe, have also been a people apart
For ages their existence was little
more than legendary, and only two ex
peditions commanded by white men
Siave ever penetrated into their abode.
Spell This.
Some of yon wbo think yon are well
up In spelling just to try to spell the
words In this little sentence:
"It Is agreeable to witness the un
paralleled ecstasy of two harassed ped
dlers endeavoring to gauge the symme
try of two peeled pears."
Read It over to your friends and see
bow many of tiem can spell every
word correctly. Tbe sentence contain
many of the real puzzlers of the spell
lug book.
The trouble with most of us Is that
we throw musty old crusts on the wa
ter and expect frosted ke in return.
Atchison Globe.
A Honker's Generosity.
In a chapter of reminiscences of Von
Bunsen and his friends, in The Cen
tury, the Hon. John Illgelow tells this
anecdote of Humboldt:
Oue day he was dining with Men
delssohn, the banker, and, an unusual
thing for him. was very silent. His
host, reiunrklug It. observed to IIiiui
lioldt that lie was sure he must be 111.
"No." said Humboldt "but I am In
great trouhV. Only ten minutes before
leaving tny apartment to come here I
received from my landlord a note In
forming me that he had sold the bouse
In which I reside and that I must
move. The very thought drives me to
despair. I really cannot bear to move
again."
Mendelssohn gradually led Humboldt
.lnio conversation, during which be
found time to write a note and receive
an auswer to it. He then took nun
boldt aside, aud said: "By this note I
lenrn that I nm now the owner of the
bouse la which yon reside. The condi
tion, however, ujion which I have be
come Its possessor is that you continue
to occupy your apartment iu It as long
aa you live."
Coat'a Milk.
Modern Medicine says that goat's
milk, contrary to the general Impres
sion, differs from cow's milk not In be
ing more digestible, but in being less
digestible and less nutritious, although
It contains a larger amount of solid
matter than cow's milk. It is indeed
the most indigestible of all milk.
Goafs milk bos a peculiar and unpleas
ant odor and flavor, due to hirclc acid,
or blrclne. It contains an excess of fat
and is therefore altogether too rich for
an Infant's diet
To avoid a task and to fear It Is to
make it our master. To set aloiit It
cheerfully at once is to become Its mas
ter. Rather be sweet in splr.'t than Biroua
III muscle.
'THE LOST CHORD."
II Sir Arthar SallHaa Cme ta
Write Thai Famoaa M.tlodr.
Colonel KoUrt E. I-ee Weulling. a
great traveler aud musican. tells the
following luterestln;: story:
"It was while visiting the bouse of a
nobleman In England that I first heard
the story of the birth of The Lot
Chord. a song that has been snug In
every' quarter of the globe and which
will live forever. If ever there whs
such a thing as Inspiration, that song
was Inspired.
"There are very few Englishmen
who do not remember Fred Sullivan,
the great comic star and brother of Sir
Arthur Sullivan. He played In all the
original Gilbert and Sullivan oi-ras
and has never been equalcL He was
later followed by George Grossmltb.
"One day Sir Arthnr Sulllvsn was
notified that his brother Fred was very
111. He made every effort to reach the
bouse where his brother was lylug at
the point of death, but arrived too late
to s.f him alive. The two brothers
were devoted to each other, and the
blow was a bitter oue for Sir Arthur.
He was closeted with the tody of his
brother for two hours, at the expira
tion of which time he came down
stairs and weut to the piano. Throw
ing the lustruiuent open, be U-gao to
play. and. bar by bar. 'The Lost Chord'
was evolved. The composer sadly put
bis uew comiositlon on pa per and
stored It away.
"The song Is the wail of a throbbing
heart, the grief of desolation. All
through Its beautiful harmony can le
heard the strain of grief. So profound
an Impression did the association of
the song with the death of his brother
make ou Sir Arthur that he Is said to
have, even at this late day. an aversion
to hearing it performed." Baltimore
News.
When a man is tortured with back
ache or lame bick he doesn't want to
experiment with new aud untried
remedies.
He realizes that the backache is
kidney ache.
The Ume back virtually means lame

Trouble with the kidney secretions followed

to the landlord. -He Bets well paid for

"But who would be willing: to part
with an arm. evea If be were paid for
It r said the !audIord.
"I would," declared the tailor.
"You"' cried the landlord. "Why,
man. you wouldn't be willing: to bear
anything of the sort, do matter now
tuuch you were paid for It."
"I wluli some one would try me.
"Now. see here." said the landlord,
who had studied human nature. "I'll

I'll rtu:ll your rent as lonj" as you
wear It on your coat so It can be seen,
the condition beiug that you tell no one
why It Is there."
"Agreed," said the tailor eaeny
Thafs an easy way to pay rent!"
So the chalk mark In the form of a
cross was made on the back of h'.i
coat, and the delighted tailor sallied
forth upon the street.
Strangers and acquaintances !ilcd
him to tell him of the mark on hlJ
!ack. Jokes were made at his expense,
children laughed and pointed at him,
and his wife annoyed him with ques
tions and with conjugal familiarity
told him he was a fool. The usually
amiable man grew surly and morose;
he shunned men. women and childrea
and frequented back streets. Before
the week was up the tailor found him
self embroiled In a quarrel with his
best friend, his wife had threatened to
leave his house and he considered him
self miserable and 111 used.
Finally, one night he took off his
coat and rubbed out tbe chalk mark
and said: There! I would not wear

departed from tUU vale of tears some
time In the early eighties. At the time
the portrait was made he wore a full
beard, which was coutrary to his usual
custom, and the family, who remember
him best with a smooth face, have
been auxlous ever since to get off the
whiskers. I was engaged to shave the
portrait, and hard times and approach

the commission, which, needless to say.

"I had to depend entirely on the recul
lection of the family for my data, and
I found, to my alarm, that eacli mem
ber had retained a different impression
of the old gentleman's chin. One claim
ed it was double aud another insisted
that it was sharp and cl-.-an cut; a
daughter described It as 'square and
determined.' and the widow assured
me privately that It was shapfnl like
the prow of an armored cruiser. Alto
gether I found inyself In a deuce of a
fix. It was no trouble to taks off the
whiskers; 1 did that in three fell
swoops; but when t blocked out the
Jaw experimentally and called in the
crowd for suggestions, there was a
grand chorus of protest. Strange to
say. I pleased notody. and I have been
correcting, amending, remodeling aud
doing It all over again ever since. One
point of dispute was the location of a
wart, which half the family said was
on the left and half on the right I
finally effected a compromise by paint
