much it would cost to keep an entire body in a

Wants His Money Back.

Francis A. Coffin has begun suit on Judgment
against the Unthank Pillow Company and Daniel
M. Ransdell, receiver, the demand being $50, OOO
He alleges that several months ago he became
surety for the company to the amount of $25.-
900, which he had to pay, and he still holds a
mortgage on certain real estate to secure him.
This is now in the hands of Ransdell, the re-
ceiver, and therefore he is made co-defendant

What Cinnamon Have Done.

China is nearly as large as Europe, and
contains much larger population, every
third man in the world being it is calcu-
lated, Chinaman. Their progress in the
past has been most marked thus the
Chinese appear to have been among the
earliest, if not the very earliest, of the
human race to emerge from barbarism.
They have literature older than the days
of Moses, and astronomical observations
that 90 back at least to the days of Abra-
ham, Comparing their early progress
with that of European nations, they were
clothed in silk robes when our savage
ancestors still painted their naked bodies.
They invented printing, and had printed
books about the middle of the tenth cen
fury, five hundred years before the time
of Caxton. Gunpowder and the mari
ner's compass were Chinese inventions
long before they were known to Europe
ans Lieut.. II. N. Shore pointed out, in
recent paper read before the Society of
Arts, that in the matter of canals, the uti-
lization of carrier pigeons, the artificial
culture Of oysters, fish and poultry, and
in the great sewage question, the Chinese
have been before US in time, and in some
of these at least, are still ahead of us in
results

De Naixt Lady.

At negro baptizing, the other day, a
slim preacher took fat sister down into
the waters of bayou. Just as he dipped
her under the water she slipped from his
grip and glided under the root of large
cypress tree, from which sad ENHANCEMENT
it was impossible to extricate her until life
was extinct The preacher, without the
slightest show of embarrassment, raised his
hands, and turned to the crowd, exclaimed:
"De Lawd gibbeth an de Lawd taketh
away, blessed be de Lawd J"
"Dat's all right so fur as de Lawd's con-
cerned, replied the drowned woman's hus-
band, "but what's 1 gwine to do? 1 ain t
no lection to de Lawd's takin her away eff
He vide me annoder wife bout de same
size"
ode Lawd knows his own business, y
said the preacher.
''Dat amt de pint" persisted the hus-
band, II want wife, an wants her right
heah. Yerse'f tuck dat woman into de
water, an Use gwine to hold yersef re-
sponsible. I'll gin yer ten minutes to git
me wife, an eff at de end of dat time you

till yer couldn't baptize cat. Does yer

The preacherrefected for moment, and
addressing sister, said:
'Sister Kate, to keep down a disturbance,
won't yerse'f marry de gen'lemn p
The sister agreed that immediate matri-
mony was something in her line; and then
the grief-strickcn husband turning to the
preacher, exclaimed:

der. Souse de naixt lady."-Raleigh en-.

Two Ways of Living.

The old proverb says every burden we
have to carry offers two handles-the one
smooth and easy to grasp, the other rough
and hard to hold. One man goes throug Oh
life taking things by the rough handle, and
he has hard time all the way. He draws
in tight harness, and chafes whenever it
touches him. He carries heavy load, and
he finds it not worth keeping when he gets
it home. He spends more strength upon
the fret and wear of work than upon the
work itself. He is like disorganized old
mill that makes great noise over small
grist, because it grinds itself more than it
grinds the grain. Another man carries
the same weight, does the same work, and
finds it easy, because he takes everything
by the smooth handle. And it comes to
pass that one man sighs and weeps, and
another man whistles and sings, on the
same road

Paid in His Own Coin.

concerning a New York millionaire who
owns big stock farm in New jersey. He
has put in force strict rules about the ad-
mittance of curiosity seekers, and if one
happens to 90 in he is soon hustled out.
The other day a neighboring farmer called
on busine ss. He had never been on the
place before, and entered at the gate he
found open, was strolling about looking for
the superintendent, when the owner, who
happened to be there, encountered him.
Surprising him to be merely an idler or
prying person, he asked him what he was
doing there The farmer, taken back by
such an address. replied, Nothing. The
owner said, "Do you know at which gate
YOU came in p II do said the farmer.
'.Well, then" said the owner, ''get out
there as soon as you can, and the farmer
walked out. Shortly after the superinten-

How a Rich Man Starved.

man to another.
ayes, poor fellow" was the reply, "he's
gone"
"What did he die OFF" inquired the first
speaker
Starvation was the answer.
starvation Good gracious the man
was worth $4,000"
II know that; nevertheless, he died of
starvation. III tell you how it was.
Jones was always fancying there was some
thing the matter with him; so he went to
doctor one day and had himself examined,
and the doctor informed him that he had
kidney disease, and that besides taking
medicine he must diet himself Said the
doctor: You must avoid all kinds of salt
meats, salt fish, potatoes, cabbage and vege-
tables of every kind.
"Jones followed his advice, but found
himself no better He went to another
doctor, and after being examined was in
formed that he must avoid all kinds of fresh
meat also. This did him no good as he
thought, and he went to another doctor,
who highly approved of the advice which
had previously been given, and further
warned him against all kinds of pastry,
likewise shell-fsh, including oysters and
CLAIMS. The best thing for you is Il milk
diet, said he; so Jones lived wholly on
milk Not feeling himself any better, he
went to another doctor, who cautioned him
to avoid milk above all things if he wanted
to get well. This reduced Jones to Il diet
of cold water and fresh air, and finding
himself no better under this regimen he
went to another doctor, who advised him to
beware of drinking too much water and be-
ing too much in the air This last advice
cut off the last of Jones articles of diet;
and he died of starvation, as L have told

Onone occasion three students of George
town college, Kentucky, saw the famous
aRaccoon John Smith" coming at distance
and arranged that they were to walk about
twenty yards apart and as they passed him
the first one was to say: 'Good morning,
Mr.. Abraham" the second was to call him
'sMr. Isaac" and the third "Mr. Jacob. :"
So the first called him Mr.. Abraham, and
the old gentleman only seemed little sur
prised that anybody there should not know
him. The second one called 'Mr. Isaac
and the old gentleman evidently suspected
something. His familiarity with the Bible
made him anticipate what the third one
was going to say and he got ready for him.
'Good morning, Mr.. Jacob, f" said the third
student. "Stop, young man" said the old
gentleman, 81 am neither Abraham, Isaac

ing man, as u matter of fact, is poor
worker. Too much of his steam power is
expended in kicking up DUST. The habit
of hurrying aud of feeling in hurry is
fatal to good work, and diminishes the
amount of work good man can do. The
men who accomplish most never seem in a

do. They are not troubled for lack of
