"1'hese people had no country
churchyard; no preacher except
the visiting parson who came month

al in the present sense of the word.
Plain wooden boxes were used for cof-
fins and often the sturdy youth of the
family made the coffin for the dead
parent or relative. These little spots
were dearto those families. One can
see that by the loving little inscrip'

If the living form of matter was
ever born by virtue of the action Of
natural forces, the event must have
taken place in a medium the con-
ditions of which differed from the
existing conditions Of our globe, for
such formation of natural matter
does not seem to be realized among
us. Under these special conditions
of the medium living matter must
have appeared in the most simple,
the most rudimentary condition, for
beginnings are always humble and
little differentiated.
We can conceive nothing of this
kind more simple than droplets,
more or less minute. of a substance
comparable with albumen or pro-
toplasm-that is, a rent of vital ex-
changes to be established within it.

Filling for Cracks In the Floor.

If the boards of bare floor do not
fit perfectly, have the spaces filled
with putty or with mixture which
has been often recommended of late,
of newspapers soaked in paste
made of -four and water. The pro-
portions of this are one pound of
flour, three quarts Of water and one
tablespoonful of powdered alum.
The newspapers should be torn into
bits, and the whole thoroughly boiled
and mixed until of the consistency of
putty. 1t may be colored with a lit
tie of the staining mixture, and
should be forced into the cracks with
a knife, when it will soon become
hard and dry like papier mache.-

MIR, Toole's Jokes.

Mr.. Toole has confessed to an inter
viewer that there is no truth in the
rumor that he is "a reformed char
acter" in the matter of practical
jokes. On the contrary, he is of opin-
ion a "a little harmless acting" of
this sort off the stage "keeps one
from growing old"-always remem-
bering that practical jokes likely in
the slightest degree to give pain are
not fair game. Unfortunately the
photographers, by making every
body's features familiar nowadays,
rather spoil this amusement.
Yesterday, however," said the
popular comedian, Il went to a jew,
eler's to buy some plates and get
some amusement for some time by
pretending to be the income tax com

The Poets Remark to the Lion Hunters.
Fresh interest is revived in the old
anecdotes of Lord Tennyson, and
among them is one told of a lady of the
genus "hon hunter" indigenous to
English soil. She lived not far from
one of Tennyson's country homes,
and after pestering the poet with in
vitations to luncheon and dinner for
months, she finally prevailed upon
him to come and meet a party of
friends who were dying to know
him." During the meal, while the
hostess and friends stared at him and
listened curiously for his words, the
poet maintained a rigid silence, until,
when nearly at the close, suddenly
he looked about the table and said
with great gravity, II like my NUT
ton cut in chunks" Whether the
guests penetrated the sarcasm or not

Perhaps no English proverb OF

misquoted than the one that speaks
of hitting a nail on the head. I'm
