Book. to Read in a Hamnook.

Some people never take books to the
country with them. They either feel no
need for the strength or relaxation they
might gain from reading, or they rely
upon chance for their mental pabulum.
Few are the readers who carry with
them anything but the lightest of sum-
mer novels-books that can be thrown
away without regret when finished.
Perhaps it is too much to ask that any
one not student should expend much
energy in hot weather upon mental i'm
provement. Yet it does seem as though
something better might be read than the
merely ephemeral novelette,. How many
of the rising generation are really famil-
lar with the novels of Scott, of Dickens,
of Thackeray, of Cooper, of George
Eliot, of Miss Mulock, or with the
charming long and short stories by our
own American authors?
There was time when the heavy
binding and high cost of standards rem
dered them undesirable books to read in
a hammock, but the recent issue of the
works of many of the best English and
American writers in paper covers does
away with this objection. Good books,
IN good type, on good paper, at price
that practically puts them within the
reach of every one. are to be had on
every hand.
In purchasing an outfit for the sum-
mer vacation the hammock books should
no more be overlooked than the ham
mock itself, but let both be of kind
that will stand wear. Trashy reading
provokes a mental dyspepsia akin to the
physical malaise produced by diet OF
sweetmeats unaccompanied by substan-
tials. Such course of treatment units
either mind or body to do the winters
work, for which strength should be ac-
cumulated during summer vacation

Doe. No. Return to Dust.

Many strange things have been told
concerning the secrets of the grave.
Within the past few months discoveries
have been made in Missouri and Iowa
that people have been buried alive, but
the strangest discovery was made in
Colchester IL few days ago, viz, that,
after having been buried twenty-one
years the body of Miss Flora Hume is
IN as perfect condition as the day she
died.
Twenty-one years ago the lady died in
st. Paul of pneumonia and the body was
brought to Colchester and buried in the
Argyle cemetery. That cemetery has
long since fallen into disuse, and recent
" it was laid out i'll nicely improved
grounds. The few graves in it were re-
moved. and among the dead was the
body of Mi 5 Flora Hume. 1t was in
closed in metallic case: This was COW
cred with a heavy coat of rust. When
the cover was removed there lay the
body perfectly intact. The features
were readily recognized by relatives,
and the clothing looked perfectly fresh.
Even ribbon of delicate tint about the
neck was as bright and fresh as when it
had been first put on.
The face was not in the least discol-
ored, and the body was full and round.
In fact, the corpse looked as though it
might have been buried only few
hours. Quincy Qll) Herald.

4 TougI, Hula.

The vitality of the mule is little short
of amazing. In Memphis one fell twenty
five feet down an opening in the street.
1t landed on its head and, the hole being
narrow, it was unable to change its posi-
broken its neck, as sharp, clicking
noise was heard when it struck bottom
After half an hour the mule was hoisted
ont by the heels and laid on the ground.
1t showed no signs of life, but, notwith-
standing, it was given brandy literally.
and in little while, to the surprise of
the thousand spectators who had col
1ected, the mule rose to its feet and
walked off as though nothing unusual
had happened.-Philadelp Ledger

he Didn't Get ANY More shaa.

A young man went to dine at the house
of friend. Now, this young man does
not profess to be skilled anatomist, and
says the only way he can tell whether
there are bones in his shad is by getting
them into his mouth. And so when the
fish came he plunged it into his mouth,
without regard to its bony structure
And when bone revealed its presence
in his mouth he took it out.
Now, he likes shad very much, and he
had set his heart on having second
piece But he wasn't asked to have any
After dinner was over his hostess came
and sat down by him. ''Did you want
some more of that fish very much?" she
asked. 'sWell. do like shad very much, ("
he admitted.
81 saw you wanted some more" she
said, ''but didn't dare give it to you. l
was afraid you'd die on the premises.
Really, in courtesy to your hostess, when
you go out to dine you must bone your
fish before you eat it, and not after /
was cold with horror all the while you
were eating your fish, for fear you would
choke and die right there, and you see, -
she added naively, ''that would have
been frightful damper on the success
of my dinner party. New York Even

The Ede1weiss in London.

1t may be interesting to some to hear
that the Edelweiss can be cultivated in
London. Last August a friend who
lives near Belfast gave me a small plant
with one bloom, raised by himself from
seed. The directions given with it were:
Leave it in the corner of your garden;
it requires no special care
Unhappily, London gardens are the
hunting grounds for innumerable cats,
so | placed my treasure, for such /
deemed it, ON the sill of my drawing
room window, aspect southeast, and
there, through the dismal sunless win
dow, now buried deep in snow, now
frozen hard, the Alpine stranger re-
manned, always reported dead by all
who saw it, but toward the end of March
life showed itself, and now it is large
healthy plant, with five lovely blooms,
the admiration of all who see it.
Surely, if this fair flower from the
lovely mountain air of Switzerland can
thrive in the smoky, sooty atmosphere
of London, our climate is not so bad as
some would say.-Cor. London Stand

Policemen Losing in Height.

The first batch of twenty policemen
have been examined under the order re-
Gently issued by the mayor. Of the
twenty men examined but one has re-
t;ined the same proportions throughout.
This man is Officer Jim Eggleston, of
the First district. He is exactly the
same height as when he was examined
for appointment under this administra-
ton. and weighs not an olInce more or
less. OF the others one was almost an
inch taller than when he went on, but
the rest had fallen away. One was found
to be more than an inch shorter than
when appointed. All were over weight
except Officer Eggleston. = Cincinnati

In a NIiser's Hut.

A dispatch from Columbia, S. c., says:
"Uncle Billy Bost, an eccentric char
Rcter of Cabarrus county, N. c., is dead.
He was bachelor, about eighty years
old. His only companions were two
dogs and an old negro. His real estate
consisted of 800 acres of land, which he
left to his nephews. He had safe
which was thought to hold thousands of
dollars, but when it was opened the only
money found was nickel. However, in
bureau drawers, in old cupboards, in
pitchers and jars, in old clothes closets,
in old stockings and in cracks in his
miserable house was found $4,000 in
gold, besides a large quantity of gold
dust and bullion and a few hundred dol
lars in greenbacks.
SIN the search a package from Char
lotte bank was found containing $7OO
that had never been opened. This was
received by him in 1880. He had corn
and bacon on hand four years old, and
some hay that had been stacked for
twenty-five years. He made his will
only three weeks ago, and there is much
talk of contesting it, for some of his kin
have been left without anything"

A peculiar and fatal accident occurred
recently to the seven-year-old son of Mr..
Tramal Carter, who lives four miles
north of town. The little fellow was in
the habit of driving the cows to pasture
every morning, and one morning after
he had eaten his breakfast he started off
with his COWS as usual. About an hour
later a member of the family went in
search of him, and was Mortified to see
cow dragging the almost lifeless body
over the field. The boy had tied the
COWS tail around his neck, and the COW,
gentle one, had become frightened and
1an off, dragging the little fellow with
her. The little fellow was released only

Modification Extraordinary.

The hen of a farmer VINO lives near
Tionesta and a wild pheasant have both
been laying eggs in the same nest. After
the nest was full with about an equal
number of both kinds of eggs both fowls
began to set. They occupied the nest at
the same time and there was constant
struggle going on. The farmer conclud-
ed that neither could accomplish any
thing at the rate they We're quarreling
and he thought to solve the difficulty by
removing the hens eggs from the nest.
This only served to make matters worse,
and now both fowls are trying to hatch
young plleasants.- Philadelphia Times.

The Origin of three Balls.

Three reasons are given, to account for
the origin of the pawnbroker's sign. One
says that the balls are used because they
were the emblem of St. Nicholas, who is
said to have given three purses of gold to
three virgin sisters to enable them to
marry. Another legend attributes the use
of the three balls to the members of the
Lombard family, the first great money
lenders of England. They were druggists
before they became capitalists, and used
the three golden pills in memory of their
old calling. Still another story attributes
their original use to the Medici family of
France. The Medicis were money lenders,
who used the three pills as pun on their
nuhlic.

How to initiate a singing Bird.

According to La Nature, with any
glass tube whatever it is possible to easily
reproduce the song of bird. 1t sufices
to rub the tube lengthwise with a piece
of wet cork. In order to initiate the
song of bird, the cork must be moved
with varying rapidity, now slowly,
now rapidly, and abrupt stoppages must
intervene. The experiment can be made
more simply by rubbing an ordinary
bottle with piece of cork.
