who act as coroner and prescribing
what the report must contain to meet
the approval of tbe court.
1 The circumstances nnder whlcn
the dtt'J died, when found dead.
3 That there were suspicious cir
cumstances coooected with thedeatb
which warranted viewing the body.
(Mo report of viewing a b-idy will be
approved by tbo court unless there
were some suspicious circumstances
which called fijr tbe view. The mere
fact that man dies suddenly end
not under suspicious circums'ances, I
insufficient for view, and no view of
Ibis kind will be approved, nor will a
view be approved where it is apparent
from all tbe circumstances that tbe
body viewed is that of a man who
cominited suicide.)

THK DEMAJCD FOR UMBRELLAS.
Changing Weather Ideal from tbe
Balesmaa'a Point of View.
"Naturally,' said the umbrella
talecman, " we sell more umbrellas
when It rains than wben it doesn't,
but Ideal weataer for tbe retail um
brella trade would be found in a
constant succession ot days that
started bright and clear and wound
up stormy.
"To be sure we aell more or less
umbrellas all tba time, on clear days
as well as on rainy. In time ot
peace prepare for war. you know,
and that sort of thing, and tbeie are
people who buy tbeir umbrellas and
have them ready; but it Is on such
a day as I bave described tbat we
sell the most umbrellas.
"You take a brtftat and aunny and
lovely day that promises to stay so
snd that holds so until along tn tbe
afternoon, a day oa wblcb tbe streets
and the stores are tilled with stop
pers, and then let a storm come up,
taking people unawares tben we
sell umbrellas.
"Oa such a day we bave custom
ers here standing along tbe umbrel
la counter perhaps two or three
deep, people buying umbrellas; on
such a day we sell hundreds ot um
brellas In one afternoon. It's an HI
wind that blows nobody good, don't
you knowf The rainy days are the
bright days in . the umbrella busi
ness." A Good Qualification.
The ntystary of the negro mind is
illustrated ay a story which the
PhitanelDtia Record prist. John,
the colored applicant for the position
or natter la a family living In on
af the fashionable suburbs of Phila
delphia, atreve to Impress his would
be employer with his entire fitness
for the place.
"Oh. yea. nk," ha said. "I s sholy
well educated, sub. I's passed a
civil service examination.
"Indeed," responded the gentle.
an, "that Is very fine, I'm sure, but
I caa't aay that .that will be ot any
particular value to be in a butler."
"NoT" said tba surprised appli
cant. "It shore is strange how gem
mea's stasias da dlger. Now Mr.

ployer. "he aay, 'Jobs, one thing
I deasan la civil eerrlce to maa

Then the geatlemaa saw a great
light. He replied:
"Tea. yea are quite right, John

rather unusual virtue, so If you bave

Dr. Garrett Anderson, the woman
Mayor of Aldeburg, Suffolk, gave a
banquet tn Saturday evening W. forty
councillors and other guests. Tbe
Mayor, dressed In black, wiu a

was tbe only woman present.
Tbe Mayor gave tbe tout of "The
Services," and said she hoped tbat
tbey would be numerous enough tn
meet all emergencies.
Replying to tbe toaat of "Aldeburg's
Prosperity." the Mayor said tbat dur
ing her year of office abe would try
all abe could to be a motherly aort til
housekeeper to the town, of which
tbey bad every right to be proud.
Tbe guests were allowed to amoks,
but the Mayor did not.

Whereupon there ensutd a struggle
to Induce the t.pplicant to reliuquisu
her idea tbat abe muat be addressed
by her Christian name. For borne
time she s as rigidly uncompromisng.
"Under the circumstances." said tne
lady of the house, "there Is nothing
to do but to follow the English cu

India Village School Story Quite
Oriental In Details.
A strange story Is given by a sub
scriber of a drama said to bave hap
pened In a Jubbulpore (India) vil
lage school.
A few days ago one of the teach
ers detained a Mahajar boy, wearing
ornaments, after scbool hours, ssy
ing that he would not be allowed to
go home till he bad prepared his
day's lesson. When the rest or the
student bad gone away and there
was none to watch them tbe master
shut the boy up In a small room
and demanded all bis ornaments.
On tbe latter' refusal tbe master
gave bira several cuts with a blunt
knife. As tbe knife waa too bad to
kill the boy and the boy also was
suffering from excruciating pain, be
requested his teacher to kill bim by
a stone lying In tne school compound.
No sooner said tben tbe master
agreed to It and went to bring the
stone. Tbe n.aster had hardly lifted
tbe stone when a black serpent rose
up aud colled Itself round his arms.
The half dead boy. seeing that his
master did .not come back, shouted
and some passersby came there. See
ing the. boy, in this slate, tbey In
formed ilio police, who reached there
Immediately. The unfortunate mas
ler as si 111 )p that condition. See
ing the police tbe serpent left his
pilsoner aud ibe master: was ar
rested. .
IU-tnrning tbe Play.
There ia a story of a man who, to
be funny, asked a girl In a bakery
bow she sold milk, snd wben she re
plied, "By tbe yard." be asked for
a yard of IL She dipped her finger
la the pan and drew a three-foot
line of milk along the coupler. The
maa was not to be so easily beaten.
"Is that a yard of milk?" he asked.
"Yes." said tbe girl. "All right.
Wrap It up and I'll take It." A tale
worthy to match this Is-told by a
writer la the Emporia Osteite.
Tbe captain of a achooner that
trades between New York aad Sa
vannah Is noted for. hla wit. and oa
every occasion tbat offers be. loses
his shafts of humor, to tb ehacrta
aad embarrassment of 'It target.
Sooner or later the stinger geta
stuag. and this chronic pua artist ia
ao exception to tbe rule.
Oa one occasion, when about twe
days out from New York, he ap
proached a group of sailors who
weie washing the forward deck, and
singling out a big, raw-boned Irish
man who waa experiencing hi first
taste of s?.llor's life, be gravely ask
ed: "Can you steer tbe mainmast
down tbe forecastle stairs?"
Quick as a flash came tbe reply,
"Yls, sor, I can. If you will stand
below and roil It up."
Amber.
Tbe pasage referring to amber is
Eiekiel 1.. 4, and Is as follows: "And
I looked, and heboid, a stormy wind
csme out of tbe north, a great cloud,
witb a fire Infolding Itself, and a
brightness round about it, and out
of tbe midst thereof, as tbe color of
amber." There la scarcely anything
tbat can be handled tbat has not at
some time In tbe course of history
been used as money. Amber was
once so used In some of the countries
around the Mediterranean.
