A Shocking Story.

The 81. James Gazette recounts the
particulars of shocking crime which
las committed recently at monastery
near the forest of Vranyo- -Selo, in Hun
gary. This monastery which was in
hahited by eight monks who were be-
iieved to be very wealthy, was attacked
by band OF brigands, but an alarm
having been given, body Of soldiers
deayored to barTicade themselves in the
monastery, and exchanged several shots
with the soldiers, who were more than
an hour before they could force an en-
trance. When they did get in they
found the monks lying gagged on the
floor, but could find no trace of the
brigands. After the monks had been
set at liberty they informed their de-
liverers that the brigands had escaped
by an underground passage leading from
the cellar into the forest. The soldiers
at once searched for the passage, while
the monks went off to the, chapel to give
thanks for their delivery. The soldiers,
having explored the cellar, and having
failed to find the door of the passage,
came back to ask one of the monks to act
as their guide; but they were nowhere
to be seen. In the course of further in
vestigations, however, they found the
dead bodies of the eight monks in
small room, and the mystery was then
solved. The brigands, seeing that they
could not escape, had murdered the
monks and hidden their bodies in this
room, having first stripped them of their
clothes and put them on themselves.
They then gagged one another to de-
ceive the soldiers, and while the latter
were searching in the cellar had made
off to their businesses in the forest.

HUMOR OF THE DAY.

The artists adieu to his picture-Yoa

A fool in high station is like man ia
a balloon. Everybody appears little 70
him, and he appears little to everybody.
"Old age is coming upon me rapid
Iy," said an urchin, who was stealing
apples from an old mans garden, as he
saw the owner coming furiously toward
him with stick in his hand.
Johnny had little sister who was
suffering with the toothache, and her
mother put some camphor in it to ere
the pain. The young man watched the
operation and then went out and tod
the neighbors that his sister had moth
in her teeth and his mother put camphor
in her mouth to drive 'em away.-Stess-
6encHle Herald.
His name was Presto Magico, and he
was giving his great entertainment in a
small village. "Will any one in the
audience let me have a tive-dollar
note" he asked with his blandesb
smile. The entertainment ended alb
ruptly, as the audience rose aud left
with precipitate haste. 1t was more
than they could stand. Philadelphia

The life OF a queen is supposed to be
one long summer day, breathing the
fragrance of sweet peace and content
ment, without cloud to mar the sun

greater error. The London World says
that a Scotch piper plays under Queen
Victoria's window every morning at 8
o'clock" How the fend manages to
escape after each serenade is a mystery.

The Work Of Years Spoiled by Rats.

Rats are destructive wretches, and
they have seldom used their powers as
effectively as they did in the case of
poor Thomas Edwards collection of
insects. There are very few cases on
record of such untiring patience and
unwearied search as that displayed by
the unlettered Scotch naturalist. The
story of his many collections, the diff
culties under which he made them, the
courage and perseverance that enabled
him to bear up under them, is more like
imaginative romance than reality.
Among the different collections was one
ofinsects. Be had carefully pinned them
down in boxes, and laid them away,
until by dint of endless labor and writ
ing to other naturalists for information
he should be able to catalogue them
correctly; If he was too poor to buy the
sheets of figures necessary for his pur-
pose and could not print, he got lot
of old almanacs and multiplication
tables and cut the numbers out. It was
long and tedious process, and when it
was at last completed the naturalist pro-
ceeded to the garret where he had
stored the insects after preparing them.
There we're twenty boxes, containing in
all 916 specimens. On lifting up the
first case he found that it had been en-
tirely stripped of it's contents. Horri-
fed he tried the others. ALI were
empty; they contained nothing but the
pins that had secured them, and there
leg or wing. The rats had done their
work His wife, seeing the empty
cases, asked what he would do next ?
!" said he, "it's an awful disap-
pointment, but think the best thing
will be to set to work and fill them
again u The work thus destroyed had
occupied four entire years.
It will be remembered that Audubon
had somewhat similar experience with
rats. Upon leaving Kentucky he
placed his drawings of more than q
thousand insects in the care of friend,
to find upon his Tetrlrns, after q few
months that pair,of Norway rats had
entered upon possession and gnawed
his precious drawings into bits of USE
less paper. He, like Edwards, un-
daunted by his loss, set off on fresh ex-
peditions, and in three years had refilled
his portfolio.

Coffee Tayerns

An English lady writes that coffee
taVerns are not only great promoters of
temperance, but also pay their way as
investment. One of the best coffee tav-
erns is in town in Hertfordshire. The
window is painted halfway up, show
ing the words "Ooffee Tavern" and
above hangs small sign telling that
lodging can be had, and nice, neat rooms
they are, with pretty frilled muslin cur
tains, fit for lady's boudoir.
The large shop is fitted up with coun-
ters for the huge tea and coffee urns;
small tables are dotted about, as in a
foreign restaurant, and at the side there
is a large table given up to newspapers
and magazines; in the bar parlor there
is bagatelle board.
If properly managed, the experience
OF most of those who have established
coffee taverns over the country is, that
they are not only selfsupporting, but
remunerative; and TO bring this about
the eatables and drinkables must be Of
the best, and the place rendered as at
tractive as possible. Such establish
ments are calculated to improve, raise
and refine the general character of the
people. A breakfast cup of tea or coffee
is sold at the rate of two cents, and a
slice of bread and butter for one cent.
The cheap coffee restaurants here charge
five cents, and the stuff is anything but
inviting; the places, too, are dingy and
miserable-looking.
Let the temperance people get up a
company to establish coffee taverns
such as they have in England, and not
only will they advance the temperance
cause, but also obtain a good dividend
on the investment.
