with more patriotism took seats 'Eeath the
National colors and discussed the vlands of
the restaurant.
AZ the latter place one can procure at rea-
sonable cost some Of the most tempting dishes
ever served. and there "a an incentive t.

LIT Death or LethargH.

A remarkable story comes from st. Pc
tersburg regarding the burial of woman
in the Smolenskay cemetery. For years
she has been subject to attacks of lethargy,
and would often be for five weeks consecu-
lively, without a sign Of life, and then
wake up and recover all her faculties. The
last time she fell in a longer stupor than
before. There was no sign either Of life or
of decay in her. Her family physician at
last allowed her to be placed in a coffin
and put in a vault in the family sepul-
cher with the following precautions: A
string was tied around her body, with
the other end attached to the bell
of the steeple that stands over the
family sepulcher. A sounding board was
placed over the sepulcher, and metallic
pipe led from her coffin into IL. Thus the
least movement that she makes If she
awakes will ring the bell, and the least
sound that she utters viii be heard through
the sounding board. A guard is stationed
blythe sepulcher, with orders TO open her
grave Immediately if she gives any sign OF
life. As her death could not be attested By
her physicians, no funeral services were
performed at her grave. Such, services
will be performed when the coffin Is opened
and unmistakable signs Of decay discov-
cred on her body. The grave, meantime,
is visited every day by physicians and
members Of her family"

Examples of Good Literary Style.

The great writers of the language are
those whose words have the charm of SIM
plicity. Take the learned DR.. Samuel
johnson as an illustration. His essays,
known as the Rambler" are full of wis
dom and entertainment. His novel "Ras-
selas" is a wonderfully philosophic work
But who would think of studying either
the essays or the novel in the pursuit of a
finished stylel Who would compare John
son with either Laurence Sterne or Oliver
Goldsmith as the finished literary artisti
The writings of DR.. Johnson do not even
excite high admiration because they are
too ponderous. And the brightness of the
idea is obscured, if it is not lost, in the
heaviness of the words with which it is
framed. But Sternel Read his inimitable
Tristan Shandy," or his Sentimental
Journey" books that contain not only the
most delightful sentiment, but the most
simple language.
See how clearly the motive Of each chap
ter stands out against the charmingly SIM
pie diction. If one wants to master a fin
ished style it would be difficult matter to
find better model than the quaint and
genial Laurence Sterne. Goldsmith is a
great artist with the pen. His essays of
the "Citizen of the World'' are gems of lit
erature So is his novel, "The Vicar Of
Wakefield" Any one can learn what a
good writer should be from this literary
nasterpiece.-Chicago Post

Re was an Englishman, and he believed
that he could get anything he wanted by
simply invoking the aid of the British flag
through her majesty's consul He had just
been landed at the barge Office as an i'm
migrant, and was in truly British state
of indignation and agitation because he
was kept waiting for his baggage.
"Bllst me bloomin heyes," he exclaimed;
IT hain't a-goin to stand this no longer
Pll go an tell the British consul an he'll
teach 'em."
He was too mad to notice the general
snickering that greeted his outburst, but
hurried off TO rouse the British lion in his
behalf He returned in half an hour very
much crestfallen. The British lion hadn't
been walked up The British consul had
refused to regard the matter In the light OF
an international complication
'fSee here, mein friend" said a sympa-
thetic German, IL vos in dis country seven
years alretty, und l knows Something's vat

The Englishman caught on, "and so did

German that he would try hereafter TO
conform to the ways of the country.-Nsw
