two dead miners were buried in the
Catholic cemetery. Thirty more OF this

Manager Lynch, Of the company, took
charge OF the bodies, which were buried
amidst u drsnchiug rain In the presence
OF 5000 relatives aud friends. The
bodies were placed in two trenches,
each 200 feet long and six feet deep.
Each dead miner lay in a new casEet

At this writing l0S bodies have been

A Telepathic Coincidence.

had as guest in my residence in
Jamaica lady of unusual intelligence.
who was very intimate with and much
attached to Mrs. Beecher Stowe. They
frequently corresponded. She had a
dream in which Mrs Stowe seemed to
be occupied, singularly enough, in Dig
ging the ground, and she inquired if
there was any foundation for this. From
the reply she learned that Mrs. Stowe
had been shortly before in Scotland on
visit to the Duke of Argyle. and had
been asked to plant tree as memorial
of her visit on leaving. Here it is proba-
BILE that, besides the general sympathy
between the parties concerned, there
was some special thought, on Mrs.
Stoves part, of the friend who dreamed
of her act, connected in time either with
the actual handling of the spade or with
the remembrance of her strange occupa-
ton. Few people would suppose such a
coincidence to be purely accidental, unless
from the apparent impossibility for &c
counting for it otherwise. -Blackwood's

The Manufacture of Cana.

In that oldest, nestlike part Of New
York, the French quarter, 1900 or 5000
men and girls make annually $1,000 900
worth of caps, exclusive of the ii .000, 900
worth made by the furriers of that re-
glon. At least 900, 600 dozen caps are
turned ont in this quarter every year.
AS to styles. there are nearly 500 varie-
ties. Of yachting caps alone there are
something like two dozen kinds. if. in
deed, twoscore is not nearer the correct
number.
A few leading styles, however. persist
with little or no change from year to
year. The west constantly demands a
cheap cap with ear coverings. Every
year sees some cap for girls the rage.
Such caps sell by the hundred thousand
dozen. A hint comes from Paris. and
in a few weeks the new caps swarm in
every street.-New York World

The Clam and tho Oyster.

A clam is considered as the EN- blem of
stupidity and callousness, but you will
make great mistake if you put the
oyster in the same category The oyster
is 80 strong of muscle. rs we all know
that no human fingers are able alone to
open the doors of his domlcile if he
chooses to keep them closed. liver and
stomach and digestive organs he has, all
IA sensitive as ours; respiratory organs
az complicated as the human lungs. ma
chlnery for obtaining his water supply
and for preventing an overflow. and
wondrously contrived mechanism for
the trapping of his food
Finally he has u heart whose pulsa-
lions may be seen after his house has
been torn from him With this very
limited understanding Of the anatomy
of the oyster it Is not difficult to compre
hend how cultivation and care may not
only improve It's outward appearance
and augment Its lines of beauty but
now they also cause the quality Of its
meat to surpass that Of the natural

An Odd Flower Costume.

AT a recent flower show which was
held near New York. IN one OF the little
suburbs of the city one OF the young
women who sold flowers at the flower
booth was dressed To represent carna
ton pink 1t was not possible to make
her look exactly like this flower, but she
looked 30 near like it that. instead Of
being no fun IN 1t, there was plenty OF
fun in 1t On top of her head there was
a big cloth pink. wired In place with in
visible wire. and properly striped IN to
the pale petals with white and red paint
and pinked along the edges to represent
real carnatlon Around the young
woman's neck were wired several long
stiff leaves which set up about her head
in a truly formidable fashion, and which
helped to carry ont the idea of the pretty
petals Of the carnatlon set in their calyx
of green
A green bodice, a green plastron,
green sleeves and green shoulders still
further carried ont the same effect. And
if it were not for sparkling eyes, rosy
cheeks and pretty mouth which appeared
from the heart Of the pink one might
have thought It to be Il real flower OF
mammoth proportions rather than sill
and wire imitation. New York Adver

The Antiuuitv of Chess.

The origin Of chess Ia shrouded in
mystery There Is but little doubt,
however that its birthplace was In In
dia. and that it Is an offspring OF game
called chaturanga. which is mentioned
in oriental literature rs in use fully 200
years before the Christian era. From
India chess spread into Persia, and
thence into Arabia. and ultimately the
Arabs took it into Spain and the rest Of
western Europe. The game WAS in all
probability invented for the purpose OF
illustrating the art of war
The Arab legend upon this point is
that it was devised for the instruction OF
a young despot by his father, learned
Brahmin, to teach him that king. not
withstanding his power. was dependent
for his safety upon his subjects The
Greek historians credit the invention OF
inc game to Palamedes. who. they claim.

Here ia q characteristic sketch OF MI
John Corbett, the salt king OF Droit
witch. Just before the 1885 election
when there was talk Of opposition to Mr.
Corbett's reelection, he paid a market
day visit to the neighboring borough o.
Kidderminster. where number OF nj
rural constituents were to be found. He
dined at the market ordinary. and made
himself agreeable all around
John Corbett is not and never naa
been much of politician. and his posi-
ton as member of parliament for Droit-
wich was nothing more to him than one
of the signs of his power as king OF the
tumbledown old town and the country
about it. SO he cared little for parties.
but. as far "a he knew, he was Liberal
and called himself one.
After the market dinner, then he wa
carried off to the Kidderminster Liberal
club where the local Liberals mad
much of him and exulted in the posses
sion of him. After time he found him
self compelled to leave He would have
been very glad to remain longer, he said
to compare notes with his brother Liber
ais. but he really was compelled to g.
away He went, much to every one
regret, for John Corbett is a clubable
man, but he promised to come bach
again, if possible
He did not come, however. but later
on his Liberal supporters heard great
burst Of cheering from the windows OF
the Conservative club That was where
Mr.. Corbett had gone. He liked to pay
friendly visit all round, he said, &c
after going to see his supporters at The
Liberal club, he just dropped in to say
how dye do to the Conservatives. He il

His Audience.

A pretty story, which has, moreover,
the merit of being true, is told OF a GER
tain professional singer. He had beau
tiful tenor voice, of which he was apt to
take the best of care, so that when he
was crossing the Atlantic one summer
with party of friends, they were not
surprised to find that he disappeared
from view every evening at just about
the same time.
Afraid of the night air." said one,
with slight smile.
Afraid we'll ask him to sing, prob
ably" said another, but no one ques-
toned him, as he was known to be quite
immovable from his own way.
But when the last night on board
came, a delegation descended to his
Stateroom to beg for song or two, and
discovered that he was not there. They
looked for him in vain, until at last the
captain, who had evidently kept the
secret as long as he could, said. pointing
in the direction of the engine room:
II think you'll find him down there;
that's where he's gone every evening""
Sure enough, when the delegation ar
rived at the engine room, they heard the
sound Of guitar and voice, and there,
lolling against the wall, was the recreant
tenor, singing his best for the delight of
the stokers, whom he had entertained
in this way for more than an hour every
evening during the voyage.-Youth's
Companion.

Eetween the roadside and the wood,
Between the dawning and the dew.
- tiny flower before the sun.
Ephemeral In time, grew.
And there upon the trail of spring,
Not death nor love nor any name
Known among men IN all their lands
Could blur the wild desire with shame.
But down my dnyspan Of the year
The feet Of straying winds came by:
And all my trembling soul was thrilled
To follow one lost mountain cry.
And then my heart beat once and broke
To hear the sweeping rain forbOde
Some ruin In the April world,
Between the woodside and the road.
Tonight can bring no healing now,
The calm of yesternight is gone;
Surely the wind il but the wind,
And q broken wall thereon.
