A Holy oil.

The love Of the marvellous in the
thirteenth century was not less re
markable in this age than in those
which had preceded it. In the old
French account we read of new won

learn that "there lies st. Catherine,
virgin and martyr, in very fair mar
BILE tomb, which tomb is SO holy that
O sort of oil from 1t heals many ills,
and the grace Of God is shown, in
that many wild beasts, which are on
that mountain, live on nothing save
by licking the tomb of my lady st.
Catherine and by the mama which
falls on the mountain.

Sardenai a Syriac monastery on a

distilled oil from its breast By spe-

to visit the shrine and collect the oil,

"NEw" PosToFTIOH RULES.
Suggestions by a Witty PostmGsts
rent to the Department.
H., II. Mas Vv,~E

Suggestions by a Witty Postm ester
rent to the Department.
From the New YORK Press.
A funny postmaster recently sent to the
postofice department a new set of postoffice
rules. They were:
A pair of onions will 90 for two scents
Ink bottles must be corked when sent by
mail
Persons are compelled 10 lick their own
postage stamps and envelopes; the post
master cannot be compelled to do this.
Persons are earnestly requested not to
send postal cards with money orders in
closed, as large sums are lost in that way.
Nitro-glycerne must be forwarded at the
risk OF the sender. If it should blow up in
the postmAster's hand be cannot be held re-
sponslble.
When letters are received bearing no
direction the persons for whom they are
Intended will please signify the fact TO the
postmaster that they may at once be for
warded.
AS all postmasters are expert lingulsss
she address may be written in Chinese or
Choctaw.
IL is unsafe to mail apple or fruit trees
with the fruit on them.
It is earnestly requested that lovers writ
ing to their girls will please confine their
gushing rhepsodles to the inside OF the
envelope.
Ducks cannot be sent through the mail
when alive. The quacking would disturb
the slumbers of the CLERKS on the postal cars
When watches are sent through the mail
If the sender will put notice on the out
side, the postnasters will wind and keep in
running order.
John Smith gets his mail from 674, 279
postotiices, hence letter directed 30 John
Smith, United States, will reach him.
W hen you send a money order in letter,
always write full and explicit directions III
the same letter, so that any person getting
the lester can draw the money.
Alligators over ten feet In lsng.h are not
allowed to be transmitted by mail.
The placing Of stamps upside down on
letters is prohibited. Several postmasters
have recently been seriously Injured while
trying to stand on their heads TO cancel
stamps placed in this manner.

II IS essy for people TO talk about themselves,

Mr.John Kelley Chase. Amesbury. Mass, says:

she was troubled with insomnia, and nothing

sioians she recently tried Dutfy's malt whiskey
IN small Quantities and with the most saUlsfac-

RAILWAY BUILDING IN 'o8.
Over 400 Lines Projected or Already
Under Construction.


Under Construction.
Considerable has been said about less rail-
road building in 1898 than during 1892
Thirty years ago to the end of 1862. says
the Raillcay Age, the United States
had 81, 100 miles of railways. This
was considered much, but in
the next ten years 1t was
more than doubled, adding 80, O5l miles and
reaching q total Of 60, III miles at the end
of 1872, although civil war had ragged
meantime. In the next ten years 47,754
were edded, so that q tie close of 1882 we
had reached ll4,7l2 miles. Some thought
we had gone too FAST but in the ten years
ending with 1892 no less than ,067 miles
were built, bringing the railway mileage
OF the United States at the present time to
about l74,7S0 miles, The yearly average
for the ten years was over 5000 miles, and
although there has been a considerable fall
ing of in construction in the last few years,
still in the dull year 1892 we built 4, us
miles OF new road, on over 300 Ines.
The Age puts the number OF lines under
construction or proposed at 425, sggregating
nearly $4,000 miles Summarized, and
crediting the lines to the states in which
they start, although they may be largely
located in adjoining states, the showing is

ABIGAIL FIRTl's COFFIN PLATE.

Kept as a Charm, and Worked Well
Until the Widow Fell Down Stairs.
From the Neto York sun
BATH, Pa, March Mrs. Abigail
Firth's coffin plate has been made available
at last. Mrs. Firth was a widow, we'll to do,
and eccentric, both in life and in parting
with life. She lived at Kettle Creek. In
1850, at the age Of co. after a short illness,
during which she refused to have physi-
olan, she, to all outward appearances, died.
One OF Mira. tirth's eccsntrioitles was the
keeping in her house of silver coffin plate,
with her name, date Of her birth, and the
word - Died. engraved on it. The blank fol-
lowing the word Died" her nephew, who
lived with her, had instructions to have
filled In with the date on which her
death might occur. This plate she polished
every day. She had superstition that the
possession Of this ante-mortem mortuary
record prolonged her life When, in 1880,
her death occurred, as was supposed, her
nephew drove next day twenty miles to the
county seat and had the blank on the coffin
plate filled in. When he returned home he
found an excited and frightened
group of neighbors at the house,
and was not a little startled him
self TO learn that his aunt had
come to life again. and was even then out
Of her coffin and back in her bed, with
every prospect of resuming eventually her
former corporeal health and vigor She mad
bsen in trance. In few weeks she was
around again attending to her customary
household duties, and firmer than over in
her belief in the charm of the coffin plate
The hlled-ln blank became a source of con-
slant amusement to her, and she had the
word Died" engraved on the plate below
the first one, with another blank for future
emergency.
In 1886 the eccentric widow fell i'll again,
aud after few days died a second time, as
her nelRhbors say III speaking of it. Her
nephew, not for a moment believing that
she was not genuinely his late aunt this
time, made another trip TO the county seat,
and had the second blank on the coffin
filed in. But Mrs. Firth was again merely
in a trance and she came out of it as she
had before. She got well, and gave the
entire credit for her coming to life TO the
coffin plate. Again the plate was engraved
with the word which seemed to nave an
empty meaning as applied to the case of the
the subject for her fav0rite and only jOcular
remark.
There amt room for any more of 'em, u
she would say. After fool this one, I'll
have to get new plate"
But whatever charm the grim amulet
might have had against the ills that flesh is
heir to, it proved powerless against the
lurking accidents Of life. Last Tuesday old
Mrs. Firth made a misstep at the top of
long fight OF stairs in her house and fell
headlOng to the bottom. She was picked up
unconscious, and never recovered conscious
ness. She died from internal injuries on
Thursday. This time there was no possible
doubt that she was dead, and the last
blank on her coffin plate was filled In as
the record of an indisputable fact
