The wife of Mr.. Duhamel, 4 celebrcs-.'
lawyer, having been supposed Gcad twen-
ty-four hours, the body was placed on the
table for the purpose of preparing it for
burial. Her husband strongly opposed it,
not believing her dead. To- ascertain it,
knowing she was very fond of the cymbal
and the tunes which cymbal-players sing
he called one. On hearing the instrument
and the voice, the deceased recovered mo-
ton and speech. She survived her appar-
cnt death forty years.
Andre Vesale, physician to Charles v,
and Philip H., after attending Spanish
grandee, thought him dead. Having OBJ
tanned leave to examine the body, he had
scarcely opened the chest, when he per-
ceived the heart palpitated. The relatives
of the deceased prosecuted him as guilty
Of murder-the 1nquisitor as guilty Of
profaneness. Through the intercession of
the King he was sent on pilgrimage to
the Holy Land, and thus escaped death.
In the sitting of the Royal Academy Of
Medicine, in 1927, a paper was read by
Mr.. Chauncey Chatournclle on the danger
of hasty inhumations. This led to dis
cussion, in which MIR. Desgenettes states
that he had heard from Mr.. Thourot, who
had supcrintended the human remains Of
the cemetery and the Charnel-house dcs
LIMOGES, that many skeletons had been
found in positions showing that the indi-
viduals had moved in their coffins. Mr..
Thourot was so much struck with the rev.
elatiOn, that he caused clause to be in
serted in his will respecting his own inter-
ment .t;4.a

HINTs.--It is absolutely certain. that It
takes money to buy ::'truck," and it mat
ters not what that truck may be. People
seem to have an idea that newspaper is
q sort Of nuisance tolerated only because
the editor is clever chap, and that he
simply runs paper for fun, or perhaps
because he has nothing else to do. Some
very good business men-we mean respon-
sible ones, order newspaper, and pay the
50 down, or tell the publisher to "call some
time, as it is such a trifle," and then ex-
pect ten dollar a,affn' Some adver-
tise to the amount OF i've dollars and ex-
pect one to throw in fifty dollars worth OF
notices! A newspaper is the publishers
money. He lives by it. He pays cash for
it every week. Every paper the reader
gets has been paid for by the printer, not
in promises but in cash. We have several
hundred subscribers who are badly behind.
They are good and think it but a small
matter, yet in the aggregate, it counts
up."-John armstrong. ~

George was concealed.
reported progress to him, and we held
n brief consultation.
| 1t was arranged that one of us should
repair to the town without delay and oh
tain re-inforcements. George being better
acquainted wit the town than l. conclud-
ed to undertake this part of the job, while
| staid and watched.
He was not absent more than thirty min
utes, but it seemed as many hours to me.
| When he returned. dozen stalwart men
accompanied him.
They surrounded the house, and I. adj
vancing to the cellar-door, administered to
it a most tremendous thump, that sent a
dull echo through the deserted rooms, and
which evidently reused the robbers to q
sense of their imminent danger. The
light in the cellar was Immediately extin-
guished. @ '
One of the party--a deputy-sheriff- =
then approached the eellar-door, and cried
out:
SIN the name Of thk law I demand the
| surrender of all persons in this house,
The thieves were evidently consulting
in whispers among themselves. Soon a
| voice came in reply:
eve surrender"
| The cellar door was then opened. Here
upon the burglars made a sudden rush, ev-
identity hoping. by Simultaneous action, to
! overpower their captors.
A somewhat desperate fight ensued, but
we were too many for them, and ere long
they were all securely bound and perfectly
harmless.
He who was apparently the leader of
the gang had received an ugly cash on the
forehead, which bled profusely. l APP
preached him to see if he was seriously
hurt. l noticed that he wore long, false
whiskers, which did not hesitate to pull
off. And then, in the face before me,
beheld that of my long-sought enemy =
Short Steve. He glared at me in impotcnt
rage, and fairly gnashed his teeth for
anger.
"Well, my man. said with excusable
exultation, as l took him not too ten
derly by the arm, tour day of reckon
ing has come at last. There is piece of
rope in New York just long enough to
stretch that DEVILS neck of yours"
1t was an unkind remark to make to
helpless prisoner, but the poor, dead face
OF Sam Lewis haunted me continually. and
after all revenge is sweet.
By the time that all the prisoners were
safely lodged in Jail, the gray streaks of
morning had already lighted the eastern
horizon.
> George and returned to his home,
where we found his wife already up to re-
ceive us. She listened with womanly Gu
riosity to our adventure.
Later in the day, when the news had
spread that the robbers were captured, the
pretty city of s. was in perfect hub
bub of excitement. l found myself lion
lied to such an extent that l was right glad
to get back to New Park.
Ned Halsey was surprised at the odd
denoument, but he insists to this day that
he had a clairvoyant-like impression of the
proximity of Short Steve when he took my
friend Avery for him.
We stood together in the courtroom
Ned and I-when the judge, turning to
the notorious criminal, condemned him, in
these words:
IS You ahell DO hang by tho nook until
you are dead, and may God have mercy
on your soul.''

THE OLD-FAsHIONED FIRE.


Yon may talk of your comforts of home,
Your parlors, pianos, settecs--
OF the fashions and baubles that foam,
To dazzle, enchant. and to please; -l
OF the stove, and its heat when it SHOWS;
And its pipe, that you so much admire,
But for courting, and toasting my toes,
Why, give me an ld-iashionedkfire.
When the winter and tempcsts arrive,
And the gay summer hours are gone:
Whe1the cold, searching winds ever strive,
An4through the drear woods ever moan;
WheTE&he labor aud toiling shall cease,
An4eye sweeps the strings of the Tyre;
And when friendship and love meet in peace,
Then give me the old-fashioncd fire.
Oh. how frigid end checrless to sec,
(And no matter where we may rove,
If OerscOntinents, ocean and sea( .- M
fire boxed up in stove;
You mAy talk of ecenomy's skill,
And dangers which never prove dire;
But endurance and health it will kill,
So give US the 0ld-fashoned fire.
How inviting and merry the sight
Of the old-fashioned chimney place,
When the firewood laughs and gives light,
And throws out its arms to embrace!
1t is cheering and sweet to behold
The little ones, whom we admire,
As they gaze and list well to tales told,
ADdsit by the old-fashioncd fire. s.tt
