to Amber Cottage, where Mrs. Harris and
her youngest son have stayed since they
came here last Friday morning. At 1890
the funeral services were held in the small

The body was encased in a highly pol

immortelles and violets bearing the in
scriptions "at rest" and Innocence"
On the coffin was large silver plate,
oblong in design, with the sides curving
in. The plate was raised quite high and
the edges were bevelled. This is the full in

HeaVy-Weieht Bread,

A Yankee carpenter tells story that
is intended as joke on his wife. When
they were married they rented apart
ments in a block, the rear of which
overlooked one of the rivers, and among
the wife's earliest culinary efforts was
a batch of bread. The young husband
sampled his wife's contribution to the
worlds stock of the ''staff of life," and,
arising from the table, playfully re-
marked: my dear, cast your bread
upon the waters" The wife took of
tense at the injunction, and, as the
husband left the house, she flung the
remaining loaf out of the window into
the river. 1t struck a passing boat,
crashing through the bottom and sink
ing in the waters murl<y depths. The
next she knew, the boatman, dripping
wet, made tour of the block, bent on
discovering who dumped the hod OF
brick into his craft.

It Is well known that Harris spent much
of his time during his last day of life in
writing statement for publication. This
has not yet been given out. The state
ment is, however, not a confession. Allan
Harris says that his brother told him it
was simply review Of the case, nothing
more
Efforts were made by the reporters and
by Allan Harris to get hold of the docu-
ment, but to no purpose. The reporters
succeeded in locating it in the Chaplain's
pocket but he would not give it up, as the
Warden was to have it.
The warden on being asked for it said
it would be given only to Mrs. Harris, and
she could have it on application. But it
seems that he changed his mind, for when
Allan called for it later on the warden
said harshly:
1T have not got 1t. can't be bothered
attending the request of Mrs Harris. I've
got this prison to run. Tell your mother
that as soon as I get the statement 1 will
send it to her." Young Harris went away
very much shaken up.
Mrs. Harris finally decided to call ON
Warden Durston herself and ask for her
sons statement. She went, carrying two
wreathes of flowers to put on the coffin.
Warden Durston, however, refused to al
low them to take the flowers to the coffin.
Then Mrs. Harris asked for the statement
made by her son. The warden remained
seated with his hat on during the inter
view, and replied that he had not got the
statement and had not seen it. He finally
said that he had mailed it to Superinten
dent of Prisons Lathrop at Albany.
Mrs. Harris now fears that she will
never see it,

The Soldier Cap.

Old United States army regulations
say that the soldiers cap should be
worn jauntily. with little slant over
the right eye. The origin Of that Gus
tom may have been in the attempt tc
shade the eye while aiming, but it is
no longer observed, and. indeed, most
tipped his cap or helmet conspicuously
on one side. The American soldier
offers a marked contrast in that re
spect to the English soldier or the
Canadian militiaman, for they wear

so far on one side that they would fal
