The Man Believed TO BE Dead.

More than one great man of letters
has been tormented by the most horri-
BILE of all fears, that of being buried
alive. They have even left strict tesla
mentary injunctions as to the care that
was to be taken in ascertaiuing their
disease. In Germany somewhere "a
geographical indication about as def
mite as the Asia Minor of schoolboys)
a bell-rope is placed in the hands of
the deceased that he may ring if there
has been mistake, and Shirley Brooks
CHASTITY quotation on this topic from
"Locksley Hall" is sufficiently we'll
known. Premature burial was the
gauge-pain of Edgar Poe, who has at
least three variations on this dismal
note, including "The Fall of the House
of Usher" People naturally wonder
what the sensations of a man may be
who returns from what seems visit to
the realm of death. and is aroused just
before or even after his too hurried in
torment. On this subject tales have
been told from the time of Plato's FL
TO that of the medieval monk. But we
seldom get an accurate historical ac-
count of what the apparent corpse re.
marked on his recovery. Such an ac-
count comes from Teignmouth, where
a man, believed by all to be dead, "sat
up and asked what it was all about y
He does not appear to have given any
such description of hades as the native
of New Caledonia, who not only re.
turned from the dead, but brought
back ax-heads with him of material
which entirely puzzled his scientific
countrymen. The Romans would have
compelled the man of Teignmouth to
go out of doors and come through @
hole in the roof-thus, at last, they
treated persons who returned to their
friends after being reported to have
died abroad. London NeICS.

Queer Animals in japan.

Some of the animals in Japan are
quite different from the same species
which are seen in America. The cats,
for instance, have the shortest kind OF
tails, or else none at all. Being de-
prived of this usual play thing, they are
very solemn pussies. An American
once took one of these tailless cats to
San Francisco as a curiosity, and it ut
terly refused companionship with the
long-tailed feline specimens there; but
finding cat whose tail had been cut
off by accident, the two become friend
ly at once. Japanese dogs are almost
destitute of noses, having the nostrils
set directly in the head. The smaller
the nose the more valuable the breed.
The gold fish of that country have re-
markably wide and beautiful tails,
which look like lace. 1t is said that q
thousand dollars was offered by a New
York gentleman for the first pair that
could be brought to that city alive, but
repeated attempts have proved that the
fish cannot stand the voyage across the
Pacific. -CorGetPS Herald.

What Is Exempt

From malaria? In city and suburb, village and
hamlet in the mining districts OF the West, the
bottom lands of the South, in regions teeming
with the fruits Of husbandry, in trackless wastes
inhabited by halfnaked savages, it exists. But
travellers, sojourners, old settlers, all who are
liable TO IT, can uproot from the system the dis
cases to which it gives birth, or prevent them
with Hostetters Stomach Bitters. Chills and
fever, bilious remittent, dumb ague and ague
cake, are each and all overcome by this potent
and searching specific. 1t is not less efiicacious
for liver complaint. dyspepsia and costiveness,
ailments not unfrequently complicated with
malarial attacks. rheumatism kidney and
bladder troubles, and n want of vital strength,
are also remediable by it persistent use. Appe-
tite and sleep, always seriously impaired by the
nervous disturbance and biliousness consequent
upon fever and ague. are invariably restored by
the Bittera.

Curious Request.

Editors are constantly in receipt of
curious letters. Here is one of them,
sent to the editor of Hdrper's Maya
zine the other day. 1t was lady who
wrote that she was dying, and that her
physicians told her she would be dead
before the conclusion Of Howells' story.
Indian Summer, then running in the
Monthly. She was very much inter
ested in it, and did not want to die I'M
til she knew how it was going to end,
and she begged the editor to let her
read the advance sheets, that she
might die happy.

Railroad Tie Plantations.

Hon. r. w. Phipps, Forestry Com
missioner of Ontario, in letter from
Southern Kansas to the Toronto Globe,
writes:
Zone railroad board here, knowing
that the growing of wood, when set
about in earnest, is neither slow nor
a difficult task, has established in Kan
sas the largest artificial plantation of
forest trees in North America. These
railway gentlemen themselves gave out
the contract for planting over a square
mile of land with young saplings of the
catalpa and ailanthus, and their presi-
dent, observing the success of their ex
pertinent, and impressed with its prob
able excellent financial results, has had
planted at his own expense, as a specu-
lation, as much more. These are stu
ated near the. little town of darlington,

How Hancock Went TO West Point.

Hancock was one of the men, Stone
wall Jackson having been another, who
went to West Point not by influence,
but the eloquent power Of poverty. His
father and mother had such strug-
Cling time that, when Congressman
had been elected from the Norristown
district, person who had not sup
ported him went to him and asked if
he had made any arrangements about
sending cadet TO West Point. At that
time and in that quarter where the
thrifty Pennsylvania farmers made
boys GO to work and earn something, it
was not considered great thing to go
to the military academy. The Con-
gresham replied that he had made no
arrangements; that nobody, indeed,
had asked him fer the cadetship.
"Ihen," said the caller, II want you
to send one of Hancock's boys there. 1t
is as much as the father can do to feed
them. l don 't.care what boy you send,
but send one of them"
So the Congressman sought Han
cocks father and asked him if he would
like to have one of his boys go to West
Point. 1t was q proposition that the
father had never entertained. He asked
in a quiet way if he might be allowed to
consider it till the following day. He
went to his wife, and they concluded
that it would be good thing to let
Winfield 60 to West Point, not to be a
soldier, but to take one-half of the
course of education and discipline there,
which would serve him for a college
career. Then the old folks concluded
that he would have to come home. So
he was sent to West Point, and when
the two years were over he told his
parents that he was enamored of an
army profession and wanted to finish
his studies and become an officer

barometer most favorable to tornadoes.

Jim Tom Nickery, of Northwest Ark

to be impressed; indeed, he paid but
little attention, until one of the actors
said:

Harvest Home.

The Union Harvest Home Of tho several
congregations Of the Mecllsnicstown charge
of the Reformed Church in the U. s., held in
Blacks woods last Saturday was a well ar.
ranged and very pleasant meeting.
Rev Banner preached an excellent dis
course in the morning, making deep and
lasting impression upon those present. The
afternoon sermon by Rev. Firor was listened
to with still more intense interest, if potsi-
bic, by the large audience which had gather
cd by that time. The order during both
services was excellent on account of the
suspension Of traffic in ice cream and con.
fections during TINT time. All seemed to
gather around the speakers and to hang
upon their words with unusual interest.
Rev's Wissler, Hcnch and Lanius were
present and assisted in tho services. The
Mcchanicstown Band discoursed some ex-
cellent music during the day adding much
to the enjoyment of the young people. The
choirs of the several churches acquitted
themselves crcditably; each of the anthems
sung by the Crcagerstown, Apples and Nc
chanicstown choirs, respectively, was well
selected, appropriate to the occasion and nd
mlrably rendered. The quartet choir of the
Rocky Ridge congregation failed to render
it's selection on account of the unavoidable
absence OF the bass singer.
The decora tions executed by the willing
hearts and def fingers of the young ladies
and gentlemen of the several congregations,
were the admiration of every one present.
The speakers stand was surrounded by four
pillars bearing the names of the four congrc-
cations represented, surmounted by two
arches the front one bearing the words
"Harvest Home" and the hack one coiled
with evergreen. Temporary steps from
the ground to the top of the speakers desk
draped in white and extending the full
length Of the stand was filed with all kinds
Of fruits, flowers, vegetables, grains and nuts.
The decorations were photographed by Mr..
Weller OF Graceham who has but recently
entered upon That business. Any one who
will purchase the photo of him will not only
secure beautiful picture as souvenir of
the occasion but will thereby assist worthy
young man. The refreshment stand under
the able management of Mr.. 6. Newton
Thomas OF Mechanicstown and his efficient
committee Of helpers is an assured success
though the accounts are 10 such shape that
the figures cannot be given at this writing.
