Sold ner Body for Gingerbread.

Squire Smith Kennedy says that he
has attended several hangings in his
life. The most notable ono was the
hanging of black woman, a slave,
near. the fair grounds. She was
hanged for poisoning couple Of her
masters children. She sold her body
to some medical students at Lexington
for all tie gingerbread she could eat
while she was in Jail awaiting for the
execution. After the hanging the
students placed the body in a coffin,
and swung itundera wagon and drove
off to Lexington in hot haste-their
horses in fast trot-hoping TO arrive
there in time to rcsuscitate the body
with electricity. Just before arriving
there the rope broke and the corpse
fell to the pike and the coffin broke
into halves and the corpse rolled out.
They gathered it up and carried it into
Lexington by hand power. As moth

One day last week All elderly lady,
residing in Kcnosha, suddenly dropped
dead from some heart trouble. She
WAS supposed to be very loor, having
worked hard all her life. The under
takcr was summoned to the residence
to prepare the body for. burial, and
while removing the clothing it was
noticed that the hustle was rather
heavy; in fact it was so welghty as to
attract attention. 1t was ripped open,
and the spectators were thunderstrucll
to find secrctcd therein over 81, S00;in

putting on style and spending her
money, had boarded every cent and
saved the above amount, which she,

Sadness Of The Sea.

Darwin says that the salts embod-
ic;l in the ocean proceed from wash
Jugs of the earth by rivers. If such
be the case why are hot tile waters Of
the vast lakes in the northwest salL2
To believe that the ocean has been able
u draw all its salts from the waters Of
the rivers we must also believe that
the rivers themselves are salt-and we
know that they are not SO. We know
that beds of rock salt of enormous
thickness form part of the crust of the
globe. and we infer that immense
banks as salt exist and always have
existed in the bed of the deep. The
uniformity Of the sadness OF sea water
is doubtless preserved by the constant
movement of the waters.
The proportion OF salts contained in
ocean water is computed by chemical
anal ysis at little more than per
cent, which. If extracted from the
waters and agglonerated into single
mass. would form an immense quad.
triangular mountain whose base would
occupy all North America. ant! whose
