A "RACKET" IN THE COFFIN.

A. strange story comes by last mail from America.
James H. Dabney, a coloured undertaker at:Phila-
delphia, was called to bury the infant child...of
Samuel and Harriet Fry. Dabney had a certificate
of death signed in the regular way, and got the
customary burial permit from the Health Office.
With a coffin he went to the Fry house, and found
the child to all appearances dead and wrapped in
rags, lying peacefully in the bureau drawer. The
undertaker placed the infant in the coffin and with it
drove back to his shop, with the intehntion of burying
the remains later in the cemetery. He left the coffin
in the buggy while he went into the shop. His
assistant soon came in and said excitedly, "There's a
• racket in that coffin." Dabney brought the coffin
into the store, heard • the noise from within it. °petted
it, and found the infant alive and kinking. He tciok
it back to its mother, but an hour or two later it
died and was buried. , .

TWO AGES OF MAN]

A relic of the earlier days of the German Emperor
is the simple, old fa,hioned cradle in which 90 years
ago his mother, Queen Louise, lulled him to sleep at
the palace where the Crown Prince now has his resi-
dence and where the cradle is still kept. A new por-
trait of the Emperor, which represents him as he
appears at the age of 90,111 as just been published in the
Gartenlaube, which says, in an interesting sketch of
the Emperor's present life, " The only difference in
the every-day life of the old monarch is that lately he
has grown very silent. Formerly he was fond of
taking part in light and humorous conversation,
and making now and then a quiet, pointed remark.
Even now his sense of humour is still as keen as
ever; but it is very rare that he himself joins any
conversation of this kind. Formerly, when persons

WELSHMEN AND THE JUBILEE.

At Pontypool the Queen's Jubilee was celebrated
with much loyalty on Monday, the town being gaily
decorated for the occasion. Special trains were run
to Pontypool from all parts of Wales and the West
of England, and it is estimated that there were over
60,000 people present. The principal feature of the
day was the Eisteddfod, in which some of the finest
choirs in England and Wales competed for prizes
amounting to £2OO. The test piece selected was
"Wretched Lovers," from " Acis and Galatea," and
additional interest was taken in the event by reason
of this being the piece chosen for the national
Eisteddfod to be held in London during the summer.
After a keen competition the first prize was awarded
to Dowlais and the second to Llanelly, while Burslere
was honourably mentioned. The other celebrations
included the roasting of a fine Devon ox from the
Queen's farm, and on Wednesday 3000 poor people
were entertained at dinner. There were also per-
formances by Blondia and a magnificent display of
fireworks, during which a portrait of the Queen was
shown and greeted with-great enthusiasm. The pro-
ceetis of the festival are to be dercted towerds the
erection of a free library and a fire brigade station.

THE. BALKAN TROI7BLE4

The Sofia Secovoda, which is the Government organ
publishes an article on princely candidatures, which
says that in the present temper cf the country no can-
didate except Prince Alexander has a chance. Russia's
hostility to the Prince has only succeeded in magni-
fying his popularity to enormous dimensions, because
Russia has taken care to let it be seen that he was
hated because he r emained loyal to his adopted country.
The Kaulbars mission, the Russian refusal to sanction
Prince Waldemar's election, the Mingrelian candi.
dature, and the insurrections at Rustchuk and Silis-
tria have opened the eyes of the nation. It may be
that at some later time another candidature like that
of Prince Waldemar may become possible, but the
new Prince, whoever he may be, will have to pass
through Darmstadt and receive his moral investiture
from Prince Alexander, for if Bulgaria cannot have
the Prince of her choice, she will at least accept no
one of whom he does not approve.

IF you take a
severe cold,
and are threat-
ened with a fever,
with pains in the
head, back, and

limbs, one or two
doses of Seigel's Operating
Pills will break up the cold
and prevent the fever.
A coated tongue with a
brackish taste is caused by foul
matter in the stomach. A few
doses of Seigel's Operating
Pills will cleanse the stomach,
remove the bad taste, and
restore the appetite, and with
it bring good health.

A GHASTLY STORY,

An alleged double murder was committed on Tiles
day at Malaunay, a village near Roaen. A public-
house owned by one Druant having rernainefflhlosed
for an unusually long time, the neighbours became
somewhat alarmed and knocked at the door. Madame
Druant, the wife, appeared at the window and said
her husband was dead, and she wished her brother to
be fetched home from the factory. After a time
Madame Druant opened the door, and the brother,
who was understood to be at his work, was found
stretched on the floor. It was explained by Madame
Druant that he was drunk, but his body, which was
cold and stiff, showed that something far worse bad
happened. A search was then made upstairs, and M.
Druant was discovered dead in bed. His lips were
tinged with froth, and when it was suggested that be
had been poisoned, the wife said "Oh, perhaps he has
drunk gazeoline." She spoke in a thick voice as if in
a state of intoxication. She stas ea that she bad been
lying in bed with the corpse since the morning. She
has been arrested. She is 28 years of age, and M.
Druant was 82. The prisoner's brother, Henri Dela-
croix, was 17 years old, and was a workman.

AGRICULTURAL DEPRESSION.

Sir Walter Barttelot, the Earl of March, and Sir
Henry Flacher, members for the Horsham, Chi-
chester, and Lewes Divisions of Sussex, met a deputa-
tion of West Sussex farmers on Tuesday, at Pul-
borough, to discuss the depression of agriculture.
Mr. H. H. Gardner, West Earring, Mr. Pitts, and
Mr. Heallrnan brought up resolutions adopted at a
meeting of 400 tenant farmers at Chichester three
weeks ago demanding immediate attention of Parlia-
ment to the alarming state of agriculture, advocating
a combination of agriculturists to prevent land going
out of cultivation and upholding the imposition of
protective duties. Sir W. Barttelot expressed sym-
pathy with the views of the deputation, but pointed
out that before they could be put in practice a majo-
rity must be secured in favour of them. The Earl of
March and Sir Henry Fletcher expressed concurrence
with the resolutions, and each member promised to
lose no opportunity of bringing the matter to the
notice of Parliament.
