Searching for james the second, Crown.
A romantic story comes from the
pretty village Of Tr.el There. it is
said, James II buried his crown and the
valuable relics Of his family. and for
more than forty years all over the
neighborhOod. from time 10 time, peo-
pie have dug for the buried treasure.
Nearly half a century ago a mysterious
woman appeared at TrieL She bought
a house and large estates, and went up
and down the village, having DO deal
ings with the inhabitants and arousing
great curiosity; but after a time some
neighbors made her acquaintance. and
learned that she was in search Of the
crown Of James IL
Legend and romance o o took root
in the soil upturned by this woman's
mysterious diggings on her estates, and
mmor finally said that the lady. Nine.

and Queen Caroline, and in proof there

bedroom vas an ancient bed adorned
with crowns on escutcheons. Lord
Palmerston was said to have visited
her.
Finally she died, but the legend did
not die with her. The land was sold

quired to make that delicate yet ten

Sometimes it does" replied my

it seems as if they die abominably

Il remember a case we had In the

bullets and got them out, and then

places. making a splendid job Of il.
For several days the man did finely,
and just about the time you would have
said he was out Of danger he up and
died, but from what reason the deuce
only knows, for in the autopsy we found
all his organs healthy. and as for the
wounds. they were almost entirely
healed. There was no Inflammation
about the stitches save In one place,
and that was 50 small and slight that it
was scarcely worth mentioning.
And that is the way with man. II

ELSIE LESLIE.

A broad piazza embraces the Leslie

and SO grand is the scenery visible from
this shady retreat.

dolls or lectures them with true mother

The Man-Faced Crab.

One of the most singular looking
creatures that ever walked the earth
or swan the waters under the earth"
is the world famous man-faced crab Of
Japan. Its body is hardly an inch in
length. vet the head is fitted with IA
face which is the perfect counterpart
of that Of a Chinese coolie-a veritable
missing link, with eyes, nose and
mouth all clearly defined. This curious
aud uncanny creature, besides the
great likeness it bears to human
being in the matter of facial features.
is provided with two legs. which seem
to grow from the top Of its head and
hang down over the sides Of its face.
Besides these legs two 'feelers, each
about an inch in length grow from the
''chin" Of the animal, looking for all
the world like a cooners forked beard.
These man-faced crabs fairly swarm
in the inland seas of Japan. CiHciil-

BREAD OUT OF sAWDUsT.
Scientists Now at Work on tho Problem

A washington star reporter was in

ture is interested in plan for making
bread ont of sawdust.
! AbsurdP BY no means. Scientists
believe that there is no good reason
why the thing should not be entirely
practicable. Everybody knows that
starch is n substance extremity nutri-
tious; in fact, it is nearly all nutriment.
| Well, starch aud sawdust are the same

position as starch. The two are ex-
pressed by the chemical formula-C6
Hl0 O5-that is. six parts of caribou
ten Of hydrogen. and five parts OF
oxygen. These are the simple in
gradients Of either starch or sawdugt.
Scientific experimenters have been
trying for long time to find out a
way to transform the one into the
other. If they should succeed the dis
covery would be away ahead of the

The prospects Of this new science of

tho illustrious naturalist Frederick
Cohn. who says that all struggles for
existence among men arising from
want of food will be done away with.

just that, and it NAV therefore, be said
that farmers have been engaged since
time immemorial in this very chemical
industry. 1t would scarcely be so sur

country should be replaced at some
time in the future by chemical labora-
tories.
