AFTER FoRTr-THREE YEARS.
Body of a Child Buried in 1854 Found
to Be Unchanged in 1894.

The body of child buried forty-three
years ago was unearthed by mistake
in the Springfield cemetery recently,
and to the establishment of all, the fea-
lures were found we'll preserved. The
child was buried in a metallic caSket,
and although the glass was not re-
moved to make a close examination,
the body seemed to be intact and only
slightly discolored.
The coffin was reached because a
footstone stood over the center of the
grave instead Of its proper place. The
superintendent had to force eXcavating
for a new monument, and, as they had
no idea OF finding a coffin, supposed
when the spade struck the metal that
it was a rock. The hinges of the coffin
cover had rusted so it fell off, revealing
the form of the child under the glass.
The child, according to the inscription
on the headstone, had died August "a,
1854, at the age Of years. months
and II days, and had thus been buried
more than forty-three years. The face
nevertheless appeared full and plump
and only slightly discolored, and the
eyes were still firm. The hair was I'M
disturbed, and the appearance of the
child so little altered that he could
have easily been recognized by his pa
rents.
What renders the case more remark
able is that it could not have been pre-
served by an embalmer at that time az
embalming was only imperfectly prac-
uced nifty years ago.-Springfeld Re-

THE DUDLEY DIAMOND.
How the differing Gem Was Found

From Good Words.
For many years the rumor of a mag

expression "up country tickled the
ears of adventures. Many had gone in

The witch-doctor, however, was eX-

Dutchman now became excited and Of
this had of necessity to be added the
tent wagon which he had fitted out for
his journey together with his appurten-

belongings save his gun and ammuni-

BARRIERS IN BRITAIN.

In Dublin the first-claSs shops are man

London and they are paid what are
called London wages, that is thirty-fiVe
shillings a week, but barber in order to
get those wages must also be a ladies'
hair-dresser. The cheaper shops only pay
their iourneymen from thirteen to twen-
ty shillings a week. The first-clasS shops
charge six pence, that is twelve cents.
for shaving and the same price for hair
cutting and shampooing. The cheaper
shops charge only two pence, or four
cents. for shaving, hair cutting or sham
pooling. Some shops in Cork only charge
one penny for each. The first-class
shops here turn out customer just as
well as the BARRIERS in America, if not a

Some of the finest shops in Dublin have
our ld-faShioned chairs and some have
just an upholstered chair with a head
piece attached. The cheap shops most Of
them just use wooden chair and the
barber wears a dirty apron, but in the
finer shops they wear white coats and
clean white aprons. London has great

and charges three pence for shaving and
a little extra for dressing the hair.
There are only about half dozen shops

HIS ONE LITTLE JOKE.

Once a Year With Great Good
HumOr.
fFrom The New york Tribune

IFrom The New Y DIRK Tribune.]
The, late Professor Josiah P Cooke,
the wel-known head of the chemistry
department at Harvard, had his one lit
tie joke which he perpetrated on the
good humor. Professors Cookies lectures
in chemistry were about the only course
which the whole freshman class were
required to attend in a body
At the first lecture each year, when
the 200 or 800 freshmen were gathered be-
fore him in the big amphitheatre in
Boylston Hall. Prof. Cook would bring
out small bottle containing an limo
cent-looking white liquid AT a recent
stage in the lecture, after he had touch
ed upon the tremendously destructive
qualities of certain chemicals, the old
gentleman would pick up the phial and

of tremors and quayers, gentlemen, this
bottle contains a terrible explosive. If
it should drop from my hands to the

to atoms.'.
Invariably this speech combined with
the pathetic trembling of the old man S

room, and half a dozen of the more
tinlid freshmen on the front row would
jump up and flee precipitately. Prof

genial and knowing smile TO the rest
of the class, which would smile back It
him, he would carefully lay the phlal

ANOTHER BOND ISSUE.
the Announcement VIII Soen BE
Made-Secretary CarIisIe's Ideas.

Washington, Nov. 1O.-There are strong
indications that another issue of bonds
will be made during the coming week
For some time past, the conviction has
been growing upon the president that
an issue of another $50 600 would soon
be necessary, and on his return from
Buzzard's Bay he expressed to the mem
bers of his cabinet his belief that the
issue could not be long delayed and that
the sooner it was made the better. He
saw the treasury receipts constanfIv
growing less with no immediate prospect
of any favorable change. Already the
gold reserve has reached a point of 81 =
o0000e below the lowest point touched pra-
Viously to the last issue, with the prob
abilities strongly in favor of still further
and larger Withdrawals for export as soon
as the usual spring outflow sets in For
drawalS for export ranged in amout from
$40. 100000 to $50, 900. GOO and even more
and it was not good business Judgment in
the opinion of the president to wait until
the gold reserve was in fact wiped out
before measures should be taken to re-
pleniSh it.
Secretary Carlisle, it is understood. took
a more hopeful view OF the situation He
argued that the receipts from internal
revenue and customs must of necessity
soon show a marked increase. The supply
of whisky which was withdrawn from
bond just previous to the passage of the
new tariff act to avoid the payment of
very soon be exhausted, and the demands
of trade would result in largely increased
revenue from this source, and what was
true of the internal revenue. was equally
true of the customs. Just before the
tariff act went into operation, the with
drawal from bond of goods of every char
acter was abnormally large. This supply
had now been exhausted or nearly so,
and It was the confident expectation of
the secretary that the present revival Of
trade would soon remove any necessity
for more issue Of bonds. Up to this time
there had been no signs of any import
ant Withdrawals of gold for export and it
was his opinion that the emergency might
be passed successfully without incr cas-
ing the public debt. He argued. too, that
his experience in placing the last issue
taught him that the issue Of another
$4,000 600 might fall far short Of recouD-
ing the gold reserve by that amount.
tenders at the sub-treasuries and demand
gold with which to pay for the bonds.
This evasion Of the spirit of the law au-
thorizing the issue of the bonds was
several times detected during the settle
ments of the last issue, and he feared it
might be practiced again.
The president however thought that all
things cor sidered, he had preferred not to
wait until Congress reassembled in De-
ceTnber, when measures might be taken to
obstruct the issue. In his opinion. the
situation demanded the issue and there
should be no unnecessary delay IN the
matter.
tary Carlisle Joined him at Woodley this
afternoon and at a late hour had not re-
turned TO the city.
Persons in position to know believe
that the issue will be officially announced
before the close of the coming week.

Good United States people roll their

are in a tremor of indignation over the

If these pious people We're aware Of

begin to hold mass meetings.
while our army is not as large as
those Of other countries. its young Of

an insult in the manner recognized by
the code as anv continental wearer of

any man well informed in the person

various posts knows that there are
manv occasions when differences arise
between officers which are not settled
until the approved number of PAGES
are measured off and the two princ1-
pals in the difficulty take a shot or
two at each other. There is never any
atal result, but there are many army
officers in the service now who bear
scars or wounds that were never in

princess is wealthy, her income having
been estimated at 100000 a year. The
name of Yourievski, with the rank and
title of Serene Highness, was bestowed
upon her by an imperial decree which
acknowledged the legality of the mar
riage. 1t was celebrated six weeks af-
ter the death of the empress and more
than twelve years after the Car fell in
love with Princess Michailovith, Dol
