saw the double point to the pun. The

mountains of snow. The liver sluggish
life dull, everything blue, molehllls of
worry rise into mountains of anxiety, and

NEARLY BURIED ALIVE.

rhe Awful Experience Undergone by an
Indiana Farmer.
In June, 1868, George Wellington, m
Indiana farmer, fell into a trance
which came near being tho cause of his
meeting a horrible death by being
buried alive. OF course he was sup
posed to be dead, and the doctor who
was called to make the examination SO
declared. But as Wellington had re-
tired in perfect health the night before
there were those among the neighbors
and friends who strongly objected to
any undue haste in putting the remains
of the popular farmer under ground.
Finally, however, arrangements for
the burial were all completed and the
supposed corpse loaded into a
hearse After the remains had been
deposited in the wagon of death, and
before the procession had left the house
a runaway team collided with the
hearse and unceremoniously dumped
the coffin out upon the hard ground.
This broke the trance, and the thor
oughly frightened wellington yelled:
'For Gods sake let me out of this!"
What happened prior to this lucky ac-
cident is related in the farmers own
words as follows: 81 retired in my
usual health. but noticed that l did not

1 argued at first that I was not yet

me and called me by name and 1 could
not respond by moving even an eye

in trance. My mind was never
clearer and my hearing was pain

to throw off the weight that seemed
holding me down, but it was not until
after the doctor had pronounced me
dead that felt any real alarm. Up to
that time it had seemed as if l could
soon get rid of the weight. Had gun

spell would have been broken, but af

that was to be buried alive. Horrible
thought 1t was all of sudden that ii
flashed across my mind, but it troubled
me more than I can tell. AS 1 had
never died before, how was to know
the sensation? Could the dead hear and
think? Was the mind of a corpse in ac-
tive operation when preparations were
being made to bury it forever These
were problems which I could not solve,
and the agony they caused me will
never be known. st. Louis Republic.

The asth of February.


In the days of Julius Caesar it was
found that what the calendar termed
summer came in what was actually
spring. This Roman bull was due tc
the astronomical inaccuracy of the pom,
tiffs who had charge of the calendar.
To correct it, Cesar, with the assist.
ance of an astronomer, reformed the
calendar by making the length of the
year S65A days, instead of the preced-
ing 1861, and by giving each fourth
year present of day. This day was
given to February, the last month Of
the year, according to the Roman cal
endar. As February, according to the
calendar, had % days, the day present
ed to it was known as the 29th. Feb
ruary 30 was this year, the beginning
of the Jewish month Of Adar. Febru-
airy 2s was the Carnival Sunday" OF

HOW the Imperial Diamond was Named

How the Imperial Diamond was Named.
1t is stated that the queen of Hol-
land, now queen regent, was present
when the first facet of the imperial dia-
mond was cut. The circumstances I'M
der which the stone received the name
of imperial were the following: 1t was
exhibited by request to the queen and
the prince of Wales, who happened to
be present, on seeing it exclaimed: at
is an imperial diamond" The owners
of the stone bestowed that title upon
it, by which, no doubt, it will always
be known The imperial diamond was
prominently exhibited at the Paris ex-
hibition, where special measures were
taken for its safe custody, as, for in

than half of those who thought they
ought to be asked. Lord Lorne and
Princess Louise, therefore, sought
to solve the difficulty by having two
balls and asking to one those who were
not present at the other, and in this
way much heartburning was overcome.

predecessors, inviting such persons on

time had the modification to discover in
his vis-a-vis in a set of quadrilles the
person who had been in the habit of
visiting the hall once a week to deliver
coal oil. He pleaded vertigo and left
the dance, but the coal-oil man hunted
up friend, who was a moccasin maker,
and danced the thing through. Among
some of the most conspicuous figures at
the state ball, beside the host in the
present regime, are the Chief Justice
of Canada, Sir William Richie and Lady
Richie, Sir Adolph Caron, minister of
militia; Sir John Thompson, leader Of the
conservatives in the house of commons;
Mai. Gen. Herbert, commander in chief
Of the Canadian militia and defense,

Mrs. Herbert; the military secretary
