Farmer.


Farmer.
ST. Louis Republic
In June, 1868, George Wellington, an In
diana farmer. fell into trance which came
very near being the cause Of his meeting a
horrible death by being buried alive. OF
course he was supposed to be dead. and the
doctor who was called TO make the examina-
ton so declared. But, rs Wellington had
retired in perfect health the night before,
there were those among the neghbors 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 COM
pleted and the supposed corpse loaded into
a hearse. After the remains had been de-
posted in the wagon of death. and before
the procession had left the house. run
away team coliided with the hearse ana un-
tremendously dumped the coffin out upon
the hard ground. This broke che trance,
and the thoroughly frightened Wellington
yelled: '.for Gods sake. let me out of

accident is related in the farmers own
words, as follows: ~ retired in my

basket filed with flowers should be carried
out as near as possible to nature-the
basket brown, the flowers pink, red. blue,

not, however. make the mistake of choosing
colors that do not blend well. Make them
bright but in harmony.
Photographs are no longer framed and
hung upon the walls. Good tasts dictates
that they should be carefully kept in an
album or in some pretty case made for their
exhibition. There are many of these cases
displayed and none prettier than sort of
pagoda-like affair which is covered on all
sides with figured silk IN delicate tones and
the photos placed in the different wings.
They are kept free from dust, and when
not on exhibition little bail at the top may
be twirled aud reverse the entire arrange

Superior to Others
Rome SDe eial to New York Times.
In accordance with the unanimous vote
OF the six regiments which have been ex-
perimenting with the new gun of small
caliber and of the commission appointed to
conduct the experiments, the Minister OF
War has officially adopted 1t for the army.
The new gun is said to be superior to
those adopted by the other powers in the
following particulars: 1t is stronger and
more easily handled; the gun and cartridges
weigh less; 1t has greater initial velocity
and pressure on the projectile, whereby the
fire, especially at great distances, is superior
to that OF other guns; its recoil is Insight
ficant; in rapidity of fire it Is equal to the
guns of the otner powers, except that for
the first few volleys IL Is inferior to the
Swiss guns; afterward, however, it is
greatly superior to them.
