Fads In the Navy.

Naval officers have little fads of their
own to help while away time on board
ship. Some are experts in photography.
Others make a specially of something inn
mediately in the line of their profession.
Many collect bric-a-brac and curios.
These amusements are for the most part
inexpensive, and sometimes they are
profitable. One officer usually picks up
enough foreign postage stamps and
strange coins on long cruise to bring in
aneat little sum when he gets to some
port where such things can be sold.-

His Grave protected by Dynamite.

Herman Spiro, a large manufacturer
of Knoxville, who was killed few days
ago, all his life had great fear Of body
snatchers. Some exploits of medical stu
dents here in the past added to his fears,
and time and again he has expressed det-
estation for resurrectionists and fear
that his body would find its way to dis
secting room. Respecting his well known
views when he was buried the other day,
his brother took steps to preserve the
grave against desecration. One night
after the funeral the grave was guarded,
and the next day the brother planted the
grave with dynamite and advertised that
fact. He placed the dynamite so it
would explode as soon as a spade is put
in the ground.-Atlanta Constitution.

Found diamonds In a Bale of Rags.

Miss Bridget O'Neil is a pretty girl
who sorts rags at the KnOwlton Bros.
paper mills in Watertown. The other
day she found two rings, which she put
in her pocket and went on about her
work. Thinking that they might be
valuable, she told a male employee OF
the mill, and he took them to a jewelry
store. The jeweler said one was a clus-
ter Of Is diamonds and valued at $780,
and the other contained one diamond, a
garnet and turquoise. No person has
yet claimed the rings.--Utica Herald.
