A queer story, and one which readers
would do well to thoroughly salt (give
it more than the proverbial grain) before
swallowing, comes with first class rec
ommendation all the way from eng
land. Thirty-three years ago, in 1860, a
member of the Chaplin family died at
Blankney, Lincolnshire, and was laid in
the family tomb. This particular Chap
lin was naturalist, and among his
other pets had a large gray bat. That
bat was permitted to enter the tomb and
was sealed up alive along with the corpse
of his dead master. In 1866 the vault
was opened, and to the surprise of all
the bat was alive and fat. On four diff
ferent occasions since the Chaplins have
looked after the welfare of their dead
relatives pet, and each time it has been
reported that the bat was still in the
land of the living, although occupying
quarters with the dead. He was last
seen in 1S92.-St. Louis Republic.

What Is an Accident?

To the nonlegal mind the term "acci-
dent" would appear to be easily defined,
but the late Lord Chief Justice Cockburn
thought not, and on several occasions in
surance companies have sought defni-
ton in the courts of law. 1t has been
decided that n sunstroke is not an acct
dent, but that injury to the spine through
lifting heavy weight is one. Even if
physical ailments contribute to an acct
dent, it is covered by the policy.
The relatives of man who, while
bathing in shallow water, was seized
with fit and suffocated, sustained their
claim, as did those of man who, when
similarly seized, fell under a train and
was killed. Again, person having fall
en- and dislocated his shoulder was put
to bed and carefully nursed, but in less
than month he died of pneumonia.
The connection between that complaint
and dislocated shoulder is not at once
visible, but on the ground that the rest
lessness and susceptibility to cold pro-
duced by the accident led to the disease
which killed him, the relatives were
held to be entitled to the claim.
"The influence of Intoxicating liquor"
has been authoritatively defined as Elm
fiuence which disturbs the balance of II
mans mind or the intelligent exercise of
his faculties, and injuries received while
in that condition are not covered by an
accident policy. Nor are those caused
by running obvious risk, as crossing a
railway, even at Il proper place, without
exercising due care to avoid passing

listers work little, the sultan necessarily.
Not only is this well known, but an init
mate of mine is an aid-de-camp in daily
attendance upon his majesty, and my
ideas CLEANED from him have given me a
hearty respect for the personality of the
present bearer of the crescent.
Since his accession he has scarcely left
his palace. Here he labors with honest
fidelity to effect the impossible, for the
bad Turkish customs are like the laws of
the Modes and Persians. The system is
as rotten as the people are hard to teach.
Moreover, the sultan is the simplest and
most plainly dressed man in his domin-
ions. The unprctentious courtesy of his
personal bearing, his apparent lack of
egotism, his rather pale, nervous, ia
tlgued looking face, are dignity itself.
L have never seen a more patriarchal
ceremony or one of higher tone than the
quiet procession of Selamlik. -Harper's
