this preparation will be in great demand

A Case of UsurY In London

A London Shylock recently attached
the salary of a teacher for debt for bor-
rowed money. The teacher gave the
following statement, which shows that
usury is not yet lost art: I'm August,
1856, borrowed s5 tonlyl of Mr..
Louis of Finsbury-pavemcnt, who ad-
vertised to lend money 'on note of
hand For this said e:5 signed bill
at 4 month for &c. Not meeting it at
the enc of the month. paid him 81 for
renewal of the bill This payment of sl
repeated every month until January,
16S9-twenty-eiSht months with two
exceptions when he increased the bill
to eS. but reduced the monthly interest
to lbs, which paid regularly until De-
cember. 1880. ] then offered and begged
him to accept payment of the IS by
equal monthly installnents. He re-
fused to DO SO, and was advised to de-
cline further payments. Subsequently
he pressed me for payment, offering to
accept new bill for the amount above
and interest, which | was unable to
meet Hence his attachment OF my
salary" From the above statement i;
would appear that the teacher in ques-
ton received e5 only, paid e44, and is
still in debt for an amount, including
interest and costs, of Els i6s I'd.

PICTURE ON A COFFIN LID.

Tho Terrifying Sight Which Confronted
an Eastern Grave Digger.
James Clarcback, about forty-fve
years of age. was recently engaged at
Harrington Corners. ten miles from FL
mira. \. Y, in rcsurrecting the remains
of Mrs. II. c. Harrington in order to
bury them in another place. The body
had been under ground for thirty-fve
years, and il digging for it Clareback
struck n great deal of water. He
reached the remnants of the outer box
surrounding the cof:i:l, and when he
pulled them out of the way he was
greatly astonished to see what appeared
to be Mrs. Hcrrington's body, apparent
ly undisturbcd and SO lifclil;e as to con-
vey to his mind the belief that Il living,
breathing woman was before him.
81 tell you was scared" said Clare
back to New York Sun correspondent,
land nearly fell over in q faint in the
grave. When made an examination.
however, | discovered that it was not
the body saw before me, bat an exact
photograph CT it on the top of the cof-
fin lid. | then raised the coffin and
opened it. With the exception of the
head. it contained only few crumbiing
bones. The head, however. WAS per-
fectly preserved. The bones were COW
cred with flesh which had pctriticd, the
whole being as hard as 4 stone, while
the hair had grown to an unusual
length and was very abundant"
The coffin lid was exhibited to num-
ber of people. 1t was made of cedar
and contained an exact and perfectly
clear representation of the deceased
woman as she appeared when she died
thirty-fvc years ago. Just how to ac-
count for this no one knows, bat in lieu
of any better explanation that made by
the grave-digger is accepted. 1t is to
the effect that water flowing through
the grave must have raised the body SO
that it was pressed against the coin
lid and the action of the gases arising
from the body, In conjunction with the
nature OF the wood, forced the picture
to appear as,it did on the outer side of
the coffin lid.

CHINESE SOLDIERS.
Novel Way In Which They Receive Their

Novel Way In Which They Receive Their
Fay.
The Chinese soldier receives his pay
once month only, and Chinese months,
it may be remembered, are much long
er than those we are accustomed to
reckon by. On the eve of the pay day
the captain of the company, together
with his sergeant-major, goes and re-
ccives the amount of money requisite
to pay his company from his next
superior officer. says the Cincinnati En-.
quirer.
This is not paid to him in jngling
coins but in pure silver, which. how
ever, has been broken into somewhat
irregular pieces. The whole OF the
night preceding pay day is occupied in
weighing out for'each man the required
quantity of silver, ald this occupation,
as may be imagined. is n very tedious
one. and only successfully accomplished
by infinite care. for here piece the
size of pins head has to be clipped off,
and there Il piece of larger dimensions
has to be added to make up weight, and
any deviation one way or the other
means the loss Of perhaps days pay or
more to some poor defender of the ce-
lestial empire.
When the process of melting out is
accomplished the silver is carefully
wrapped in paper, upon which is writ
ten the name of the intended recipient.
On the following afternoon the COM
pany is mustered and the sergeant
major divides the money, commencing
with the FIRST man in the company and
going on to the last. When this divi-
sion is conclu led the question is asked
in stentorian tones: HAS anyone else
claim?' and the customary mo" having
been promptly given, the men are then
dismissed
Each man now repairs to the nearest
tradcsman's shop, where he exchanges
his silver. For one tael he receives one
thousand small coins called cash, per-
forated in the center so as to allow of
being threaded on a string, and, having
received the proper amount, turns
homcward with a cheerful micn, but
nearly sinking beneath his burden.
The private receives three and one
half taels. equal to about nineteen shil-
lings, monthly, out of which he has to
provide himself with clothes and food.
Bat he lives on rice and his clothes cost
but q tri:ie.
