Then said the lass, while Fred was all agoe.

INTERESTING FACTs.-The tomb of
Edward L, who died in 1901, was
opened Jan. 2, ITO, after 1853 years
had elapsed. His body was almost per-
feet. Canute (the Dance, who crossed
over to England in 1917, was found
1779, by workmen who repaired Win
chester Cathedral, where his body had
reposed nearly $50 years, perfectly fresh.
In 1869, three Roman soldiers, fully
equipped with warlike implement, were
dug out of a bed of peat in Ireland,
where they had probably lain 1900 years.
Their bodies were perfectly fresh and
plump. In the reign of James II. of
England, after the fall of the Church of
Ashley, in Warwickshire, there was taken
up the corpse of Thomas Gray, Mar
quis of Dorset, who was buried the 10th
of October, 1880, in the twenty-second
year of Henry VII; and although it
had lain there seventy-eight years, the
eyes, hair, flesh, nails and joints
remained as though it had been newly
buried. Robert Braybrook, who was
consecrated Bishop of London in 1881,
and who died in 1404, and was buried
in st. Paul's, was taken out of his tomb,
after the great fire in 1866, during the
repairs of the cathedral, and, although
he had lain there no less than 1852 years,
his body was found firm as to skin, hair,
joints and nails. The Convent de St..
Domingo was demolished in search
of treasure supposed to be concealed
there, and the body of Prince Rodri-
guez taken out, who had been buried
alive in 1865, exactly as when placed
$50 years before. His daughter, 2 years
and 6 months old, was lying at her
fathers feet, and as perfectly preserved
as himself. The position of his hands
showed that he was suspended by the
body and neck till he died. Marks of
the cord and of the burning iron were
deeply recorded on various parts of the
body His hair and beard were firm, his
skin natural in hue and texture, without
the least trace of decomposition in any
part.

taken for fairy boots" but the compost
tor made it to read, Her dirty feet were
incased in shoes that might have been
taken for ferry-boats,' and he is no
longer dweller in Chicago, but fugi
tive in the land.
TWIN brothers at Evergreen, Ala,
were not only alike in looks, but SO
equal in strength that wrestling match
was arranged as test. This did not
settle the matter, however, for one was
thrown on his head and killed at the
beginning of the contest.
The system of hotel fees to menials
had it's origin in semi barbaric age,
when none save the wealthy and aristo-
cratic travelled far from home, and
when royalty and aristocracy gave not
only to those who served them wherever
they stopped, but flung aims to the poor
on the highway.
Snow was riding on horseback near
Sonora, Cal. The horse threw him of
by kicking hard against rock. He
was about TO give the beast sound
whipping, when he saw gold glistening
where q piece of the rock had been
broken off. Thus valuable quartz
lode was discovered, and horse escaped
punishment.
NICOTINE is named from Jean Moot
Lord of Villemai4, who purchased some
tobacco at Lisbon in 1860, introduced
it into France and had the honor Of fix
ing his name on the plant. Our word
tobacco is from the Indian tabaco, the
tube used by the Indians for inhaling
the smoke, which by them is called
petunior cohiba.

WHAT A BLIND MAN SAW IN Enc
LAND" This famous lecture was de.
livered in this city by its more famous
author. the Rev. w. II. Milburn, last
evening. The sudienes that should
have numbered five bnndred persons
numbered only hundred and fifty
which number. II 10 to be hoped. will
he multiplied sever.l times by the al
dience Of tonight. The lecturer was
introduced to his hearers by Rev. j. +.
Devose. he began with the remark
that there were other eyes than those
under the brow. His visit to England
was made In May. 1857. His descrip.
tion of an English sunse, was very fine.
while his hotel experiences in Liverpool
and London were bath amusing and
instructive. The largest hotels Of that
time would not accommodats to exceed
$50 persons, or Of similar capacity to
hotels ia this country found in villages
Of fonr or Ave Thousand people. An
American in England who found fault
With the email dining rooms was told
that be ought to 60 10 the Queens no

miles long and the walters wen, on
horses English hospitality suffered
not in comparison With American. A
description Of the House Of Commons
was ludicrous in the extreme His bits
st Parliamentary tactics we're inimita-
BILE. and bis description of American
oratory VAS certainly not overdra VII.
Mr. Milburn has strong and rich voice,
but one not particularly musical. His
lecture tonight will hs on . subject 10
be chosen by tho audience.

People who are thinking OF going into the
mining business, either as investors of money
or handlers of pick and shovel, would do well
TO look into the facts and figures of the subject
a little before doing so. Mr.. Delmar formerly
In charge OF the bureau of statistics here, has
recently published some interesting facts in re-
lation TO the cost and returns OF gold and silver
mining. According to his estimates the cost
OF mining gold In California. from 1915 to 1850
Tin value OF capital and labor employed),
amounted to 8. 235 900, while the mint value
OF the actual product OF gold for the same Pc
Rod was only $3.50. O00, 000 that the gold pro-
duced cost about five times as much as its real
value. Silver mining produces no better results.
according TO the same authority, nOtwithStand-
Ing the great productiyeness for while OF the
