John Phillips left his home in
Belleyille, Ind, in 1912 to seek his
fortune. Shortly atterward all trace
of him was lost, and fan many years
his relatives believed that he was
dead. The other day, however, he
returned to his own home to claim
his share of the estate of his father,
who died two years ago. His sister
failed to recognize him, and declared
that she did not entertain tramps.

A Strange Story,

According to an interview in the
New York World with John Tierney,
a Brooklyn fireman, the latter was
the witness of a very strange scene.
He is quoted as saying: II live near
Cypress Hill, at the head of Fulton
street, and a family OF the name OF
Dottle lives there, too. Miss Dottle,
a young girl OF 10 died. Her father is
Mr.. Dottle, the cellar excavator. She
lay in the coffin two days, in her white
shroud, and flowers all around her.
Her friends came to see her and take
leave of the remains of a once beauti-
fua and esteamed girl, and at length
the moment arrived when she was to
be borne to her last resting place. As
may be supposed, her mother was
most affected; she was frantic with
grief, in fact, and her cries were loud
and bitter. She refused to leave the
coffin, and when they forced her away
she screamed loud enough to awake
the dead. And, as sure as my name
is John .Tierney, the girl opened her
eyes. Such q scene as was then wit
messed it is not for me to attempt to
describe. She sat up in the coffin, they
wrapped blankets around her and re-
moved her to her room, where she
tainted. away again. But all was
plain sailing now. They applied re-
storatives, and, to make a long story
short, the g1rl' who had been in q
trance. is alive to-day and progressing
rapidly towards convalescence."

Female Labor,
Boston Herald.

Boston Herald. .....'s a.
While a great deal is said from time
to time about the amount of female
labor performed on the continent
OF Europe comparative statistics
that have just been compiled on this
subject show that in the manufact-
uring towns of Germany the employ
ment of female labor amounts to
about 3o.per cent, while the average
OF female labor in New England is CIV
en- at about 80 per cent. With the
total population of the United States
there Is q percentage of female labor
OF q trihe over 81 per cent.
The agricultural districts of Ger
many show a much larger proportion
than similar districts in the United
States. In certain other districts of
Germany the percentage of employ
ment OF this class is very high. For
example, in the textile mills of the
Black Forest district, it is 70 per cent,
while in Reuss, a small principality
south OF Leipsic. it rises as high as 80
per cents II will thus be seen that in
Germany, as in this country, the larg-
er proportion OF female labor is in
those districts where textile manufac-
lures are made.

From the st. Albans Messenger.

From the St. Adams Messenger.
Engineer Markham and his fireman
had q thrilling encounter with a pan.
ther on the Burlington & Missouri
River railroad, between Minden and
Axtell. Between the two places
named the engine slipped an eccentric
and came to q standstill. Markham
andthe fireman got out to set mat.
ters to rights and had about com.
pleted the job when both heard a yell
that made their blood run cold, and
before either could turn large pan
.ther sprang upon the engineer and
buried his claws in his shoulders. The
fireman had a heavy wrench in his
hand, and with this struck the brute
on the head. This partially stunned
the animal, and he loosened his hold
upon the engineer, but before either
man could take advantage Of this
situation he made q vicious leap for
the fireman and buried one of his
claws in his left arm. Engineer Mark
ham by this time had drawn his re-
volver, and by q lucky shot struck
the brute between the eyes, killing him
instantly. Both men were badly hurt,
and will be~laid up. The panther
measured nearly six feet from the end
Of his nose to Che tip of his tail, and
weighed nearly 200 pounds.

A Country One Vast Grave
yard.

A Chinese missionary now in Cali
fornia, tells a Los Angeles paper that
the superstition alternatives. if moth
ing else, will keep railroads out of
Chinafor years to come, as their relig-
ion prohibits the removl of bodies
from, or interference with, graves OF
persons properly buried, and, on ev-
cry side, are to be found such mounds,
the country being one vast graveyard.
Unless one of the syndicates that are
from time to time given vast and ex.
elusive privileges in the Flowery King
dom may be willing. to build snake
roads in and out among the sleepers,
or can find some way of overcoming
the native railery on the subject, the
missionary's favorite, "Blest be the
tie that binds" will have no special
interest for them. =
