They Slept Under SNOW.

The case of Mrs. Elizabeth Woodcock,
who survived long burial under snow,
may be known to many readers. This
woman, forty-two years of age, of I'm
pington, village three miles north of
Cambridge, lost her way in returning
home from market on Saturday evening,
February 2, 1899, and was buried seven
feet deep in the snow. In this state she
continued eight nights and eight days,
when she was dug out alive on Sunday,
February 10th. She retained the full
possession of her senses all the while she
was immured. She died July "a, 1899,
A somewhat similar case occurred in
the snowstorm of November, 1880. A
middle-aged woman, named Alice Jane
Lowe, belonging to Wigan, was admitted
into Spalding Workhouse in very weak
state, having been found by the relieving
officer sleeping out in the snow in the
Lincolnshire Fens, near Spalding. She
was put to bed, and then stated that she
had slept out for FIVE weeks continuously,
including within the last few DAYS, the
severest weather of the year, when the
snow covered the ground to tho depth Of
nearly foot.
The poor woman's hair was in such z
matted state that it had To be all cut off.
She stated that she had tramped from
Lancashire, where she had formerly been
in domestic service, and at the time she
was found in the snow she appeared to
have lost her way. The workhouse Off
Gals consider Utmost remarkable that the
woman survived the exposure of the cold.

A Cat That Is Fond OF Vegetables.
I've got a cat whose appetite is more
fastidious than that of most men. He is
a half Maltese Tom and is one of the best
rat catchers in New York. He simply
kills rat without attempting to mutilate
its body, because Tom is q vegetarian,
and the nearest food to meat that he will
touch is oysters. You can't induce him
to eat a piece of meat, but take up an
oyster and begin toopen it, and Tom will
spring up on the table and brush his
whiskers aside for feast. He won't
eat stale oyster, but wants to see il
opened and partnke of it from the shell.
lie will eat any vegetable you set before
him, but likes tomatoes and onions best.
A little beer in saucer is not distasteful
to him, and If you blow the smoke of q
good cigar in his face after his feast he
huddles up ut your feet and goes to sleep
Cigarette smoke is as OBJ
noxious to him as it is to the most sensi-
bic men, and if you puff cloud of cigar
cite smoke he will snarl and keep away
from You in the future.--LSt. Louis

New Craft Which Is Expected to Revolu-

Marine Engineer Redway, OF Toronto,

square build. Redway's boat Is fashioned
after the model of an Indian canoe. 1t has
a fiat bottom, except for a fraction of the
keel at the stern to accommodate the rud-
der. The hull is somewhat after the style
of the whaleback. There are no bulwarks.

Not as al other women are
IL she that to my soul Is dear,
Her glorious iancies come from far.
Beneath the silver evening-star
And yet her heart Is ever near
Great feelings hath che Of her own.
Which lesser souls may never know;
God giveth them TO her alone.
And sweet they are as any tone
wherewith the wind may choose to blow
Yet in herseIfsbe dwelleth not,
Although no home were half so fair;
No simplest duty Is forgot;
Lie hath no dim and lowly spot
That doth not in her sunshine share.
She doeth little kindnesses,
Which most leave undone or despise;
For naught that sets one heart at ease,
And giveth happiness or peace,
is low-esteemed in her eyes.
She hath no seorn Of conmon things,
And though she seem OF other birth,
Round us her heart entwines and clings,
And patiently she folds her wings
To tread tho humble paths OF earth.
Blessing she is: God made her so,
And deeds OF weekday holiness
Fell from her noiseIess as the snow;
Nor hath she ever CHANGED to know
That aught were easier than to blesA
She Is most fair, and thereunto
Her life doth rightly harmonize;
Feeling OF thought that was not true
Meier made les beautiful the blue
Unclouded heaven OF her eyes.
She is a woman-one in whom
The spring time OF her childish years
Hath never lost its fresh perfume,
Though knowing well that life hath room
For many blights and many tears.
] love her with love as still
As a broad rivers peaceful might,
Which, by high tower and lowly mill,
Goes wandering mt its own free will,
And yet doth ever flow Alright.
And on it's full, deep breast serene,
Like quiet isles my duties lie;
It flows around them and between,
And makes them fresh and fair and green,
Sweet homes wherein to live and die.

A well-deHned earthquake was felt one
night recently In parts of Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Tennessee, Missouri and Kentucky,
The shocks, Of which three were

by a low rumbling sound as of distant
thunder. The seismic disturbance was go
severe as to awaken people out OF sound
sleep. and In many cases they rushed half
clad into the streets. fearing the buildings

COlOring Malay Teeth.

Mr.. Merrifcld, u British officer in Ten
asserim, says that the belief that the
teeth of the Malays and Siamese are col
ored by chewing betel mixed with lime is
an error. The black color is produced
by a special process employed for the
purpose ; for mo respectable Siamese
would like to have white dogs teeth, like
Chinese, Indians and Europeans. Cocoa
nut kernel is carefully charred and then
worked to n stiff paste with cocoanut oil.
When carefully and regularly worked
over the teeth this produces the black
varnish whick is so much admired.
Among some Malay tribes il isconsidered
the proper thing not only to blacken the
teeth, but to file them down to points like
sharks teeth. 81 Boston Transcript.
