The colonel wus & resident of the doctor's home town and had a large outlying estate, which he was in the habit of visiting once a week, “On the day of Smith's singular pre uition was ou one af those tours f luspection, but tailed to come back, the following morning his corpse wis found lying in a cornfield. He had evidenty been dead about 24 hours, and from the appearance of thy body sceined to have been seized with rt of fit or convulsion. ue “Of course the affair created a great stir, and the police made a pretty thorough investigation, but the only | thing they found that merited any | special attention was a small, round | vial in the dead man’s vest pocket.

Various plans were made to defeat | the nefarious and sacrilegious proceed ings of the “body suatchers,” or “resur- rectionists,” as they were sometimes called, a very common one being the m of t wo small watchs L Ww comunuititae thi ih il, ‘ani which the decen ted ¢ r of nig the At ! wve rob! was tu d tues head © collin and | i lurge round ! by means of a \ specially constructed It was to counteract this maneuver that the two curious coffin. fike relies now lying on either side of the door of the ruined church of Aber- foyle, in Perthshire, were constructed. They are solid masses of cast iron of spormous weight. When an interment took place one of these massive slabs was lowered by suitable derricks, tackles and chains on to the top of the coffin, the grav was filled in, and there it was left fi | some co nsiderable time. Later on th | grave was opened and the iron armo plate was removed and laid aside ready for another funeral. These contrivances still lie on the grass of the lonely little churchyard, objects of curiosity to the passing cy- efist and tourist.—Scientific American. ercctie TO nN ne fro arte The Explanation, One morning the readers of a certain newspaper were perplexed to see in | type the announcement that “the Sco tus handed down an important deel sion yesterday.” The afternoon papet of the town, with which the morning paper for years had held a bitter con- troversy, interesting none but them- selves, laughed that day, as the poets say, “in ghoulish glee,” and it was up to the merning paper the next day to 2xplain that “the types” made them gay that the Scotus did so and so when the telegraph editor should have known that that word was merely the abbre- viation of the telegrapher for suprems tourt of the United States. Loeusts Good to Eat, All native African races eat locusts. | With many it takes, and has to take, the place of the British workman's beef and mutton.

The wings and legs having first the long, soft body and I determined not to let my European prejudices influence me, but to give the dish of grilled locusts a fair trial. I thought how John the Baptist had enjoyed them plus wild honey. The one I was eating was rather nice. I agreed with my Arab servant that, should the meat supply fall short, a dish of locusts would be a very good substitute. By the time I was eating the sec ond locust it seemed to me absurd why one should have a sort of lurking pity for John the Baptist’s daily menu | unless it be for its monotony, and I | felt convinced that I should get tired ef honey sooner than I should of lo An eccentric clergyman in Cornwak had been much annoyed by the way the members of the congregation had of looking around to see late comers. After enduring it for some time he said on entering the reading desk one “Brethren, I regret to see that your attention is called away from your religious duties by your very natural desire to see who comes in behind you. I propose henceforth to save you the trouble by naming each person who may come late.” He then began, “Dearly peloved,” but paused half way to interpolate “Mr. S., with his wife and daughter.” Mr. S. looked rather surprised, but the minister, with perfect gravity, re- sumed. Presently he again paused. “Mr. OC. and William D.” The abashed congregation kept their | eyes studiously bent on their books. The service proceeded in the most om derly manner, the parson interrupting | himself every now and then to name some neweomer. At last he said, still with the same perfect gravity: “Mrs. 8. in a new bonnet.” In a moment every feminine head in the congregation had turned around.— Millinery Trade Review. A Mystery of the Sea. One of the most curious finds ever made from the sea was that which | came to the Azores in 1838. The is- land of Corvo was then in the posses- gion of two runaway British sailors. One morning there drifted ashore a eraft which had evidently been frozen in the ice for a long time. It was an ancient and battered brig, without bulwark or name, but the hatches were on, the cabin doors fast, and the hulk was buoyant. She had lit- tle cargo, and that consisted of skins and furs in prime condition. No papers were found in the eabin but it was figured that she was g sealer or trader, carrying a crew of 10 or 12, and that she had been pro- visioned for a year. The flour was spoiled, but the beef was perfectly preserved. She had been abandoned when frozen in an iceberg and drifted for years. The date of the letter found in the forecastle showed that the brig bud been abandoned nearly half a century before. The two sailors got out ths furs, which eventually brought them $4,000, and two barrels of beef and then set fire to the wreck. No trace Letter 10 8, J, Wirtner. Patton, Pa, Dear Sir: A pound of meat and no bone is worth more than a half pound of meat and a halt pound of bone, but there are, ug you say, 0 great many people who won't puy more than a cers tain price by the pound. Give ‘em bone; that's right; give "em plenty of bone ! There are people who won't pay more than §1.50 a gallon for paint; give em bone ! There’s no better school than experi- ence; cost is high; but the lesson is never forgotten. Let a man paint two houses alike, same size; one Devoe, the other that $1.50 paint. He buys 10 gallons of each, and pays $3 a day for labor—§3 a day is $3 a gallon, easier reckoning. He has to buy two gallons more of the $1.50 paint; and has two gallons left of Devoe: 12 gallons $1.50, $18; 8 gallons $1.75, $14; $4 more for ‘‘cheap” paint. He pays $3 a gallon for painting; 8 gallons $24; 12 gallons $36; $12 more for painting ‘“‘cheap’’ paint. He’ll buy the less gallons paint after that. If people are slow to learn, it’s because they keep on buying bone meat. Give ’em plenty of boi. Yours truly, F. W. Devoe & Co. P. 8S. Binder & Starrett sell our paint. A BOON TO WOMEN.
