Means of Identification.

The waters of the bay had washed
up long lank body and for two days
it lay in an undertaker's shop await
ing Identification. Nobody on Cape
Cod knew of the man. At last an old
rickety wagon ratified up and Farmer
Hall got down. Passing into the back
room he looked at the body for mo-
ment and said: That's him" The
undertaken asked for further informa-
ton, but Farmer Hall could only say
it was Tompkins, his hired man. But
can't you tell just why he is Tomp-
kins? Are they his clothes? Can't you
furnish some positive means of identi-
fication?" and the undertaken looked
expectant Farmer Hall shifted his
place and was lost in thought. Sud-

The peach is popular favorite now.
It is said to be tonic, an aperient, a
food and drink combined; or, as a
lady who is trying them puts it, "they
are both meat and medicine" This is
certainly good news, just as peaches
are getting plentiful. /. is said that
they are good for the complexion, good
for the blood and good for digestion.
You may eat them when you please
at night or in the morning or in the
middle of the day-but they must be
ripe and they must not be stale. 1t is
better to eat them in the natural state
that is, as you would eat an apple,
peeling, of course-the peel of the
peach is rank poison to the stomach
Or you can have them with sugar and
cream.-Kansas City Times.

and unnatural. 1t was worked by
electricity through the agency OF
some central timepiece somewhere in
the depths of that vast hotel 1t was
horrible TO think that every one of the
hundreds of clocks gave their irritat-
ing click at exactly the same fraction

The effect of innocently ringing for
a servant was even more weirdly dis
comforting than the demonality of
the electric clock. Instead of the Or

from the wall cord only too evident

was bulb at the end of the cord and

President Perter.s Picture.

A good story is told by the Venetian
painter Ziem in regard to Corot and
the new French president, NJ. Casimir-
Perier, who was a close friend of the
painter. He wished to buy a Corot
that caught his fancy, and the painter
offered to give it to him-on one con-
dition, that he should pay the butchers
and bakers bills of his friend Millet

bills were looked up they amounted to

IF THE HEART is IN 1T.

With figure firm stern Duty stood
And pointed up the steep ascent
"Go climb" she said, nor longer let
Your days in dalliance sweet be spent"
The wind blew cold, the sky doomed dark.
And frowning heights hemmed in the way;
But still from Duty's lips there fell
That one relentless word "Obey."
Upward pressed, but soon there came
A fairy shape with steps so light;
"Come. touch your task with love-" she said,
'And all its Ills will take their flight.
For every task must easier pass,
When you some love on IL bestow.
And lighter grows the hardest toll
II in it all your heart you throw"
Then, 10! wondrous miracle
For Duty's voice became most sweet,
The wind was flushed, and soon upon
The heights stood. my task complete.

there, the blame will belong to him
and not to me.
Last week when entered Paris after
an absence of nearly two years,
some demon Of reckless extravaganza
possessed me, and drove to one of the
most modern hotels in the place. II

of the tremendous establishment. 1t
was all strange and new to me, not
being accustomed to a certain blaZonry

had some difficulty in finding it, for
there seemed miles of heavily carpeted
halls, and it was easy to take wrong
turning.
There were many mirrors in the
small room and an electric light
chandelier in the center, with another
electric lamp at the head of the bed.
The first thing that riveted my atten-
ton was the clock. 1t looked like the
usual French clock of black marble,
but it acted strangely. 1t gave a
sharp click at regular intervals, fol-
lowed by spluttering gurgle, as if
something had gone wrong with its
throat; then the long hand, with dis
concerting suddenness, jumped one
minute. I found that this internal
disturbance took place every sixty
seconds. 1t annoyed me and made me
nervous. found myself waiting for
the click. There had always been a
clock on the shelf of my room in the
other hotel, but 1t had never been go
ing, and never made itself obtrusive.
I investigated this exasperatingly
regular clock, and soon found that it
was tirnepiece without soul. Two
insulated wires protruded from the
back and disappeared into the wall
behind. There was button there
with "on' and "off" beside it. I
placed the button at off" and the
clock stopped If faith without works

similar condition. 1t seemed uncanny

picture of 1t In operation in Daudet's
'.Tartarin in the Alps" where the pro-
prietor of the hotel on the Rigi top
telephones down to Lucerne for a
guide. This telephone consisted of a
shelf of yellow wood and you talked
to the top of this shelf. A disc OF
nickel, to which was attached cord,
hung on hook by the shelf. placed
this saucer-like disc to my ear, and
said
Hello, there

mo. If they were, what would be
ringing for?"
Very well, I'll send up the garcon."
There was a tap at the door few
minutes after, and the garcon stood
there with my boots in his hand. He
looked at me responsibility. Get a
move on you." said, taking the boots
from him. ''They ought to have been
at the door long ago. Have you been
asleep all night?"
The boy sighed and left without an
swering. Perhaps the meaning of my
French was mercifully concealed from
him.
Next morning the same thing &C.
Cured. The boots were not there. l
Indignantly rang up the Office and
went to the telephone.
''Well?" said ghostly voice.
"Where the old Harry are my boots?"
l cried to the resonant shelf
"Are you sure you looked at the
door,"
"Am I sure? OF course, Pm sure.
They're not likely to escape notice
they're big enough"
very we'll, I'll send up the garcon."
The garcon came with the same de-
jected air of man wrongfully ac-
cused. He had no boots in his hand.
"Mossu," he said, kneeling down by
the door. He pressed button and
small section of the wall flew out on
hinges disclosing the heels of the boots
resting in that concealed niche.
Good gracious" said I, IAN 1 sup
posed to come out here every morning
and search on my knees for that but
ton?"
But no. Mossu," said the insulted
garcon. He entered my room and
pressed a similar button, and Sec
ton of the wall flew out showing the
sides of the boots. 1t was very simple,
and the boots had been there all the
time. The garcon evidently could not
understand why man deliberately
tried to get him into trouble by saying
the thing which is not. I made it all
right with the boot-blacker by the be-
stowal of an apology and a couple of
francs.
I then went to the telephone and
rang up the man below.
Look here" l said to the shelf,

many modern improvements about
this hotel to suit me. I expect to step
on trap door and be shot down four

"Perhaps you would not think so, but a
very large proportion of diseases in New
York comes from carelesSneSS about catch

such a simple thing and so common that
very few people, unless it is case of
pneumonia, pay any attention to a cold.
New York is one of the healthiest places
on the Atlantic Coast and yet there are a
great many cases of catarTh and con-
sumption which have their oriVin in this
neglect of the simplest precaution OF eve

when you have one get rid Of it as soon as
possible. BY all means do not neglect 1t. i"

A Tax on Death.

st. Louis Globe Democrat.
The remains Of Miss Leila Sher-
man, of Armenia, n. ", passed
through the Union depot last
night, en- route to her former home.
Miss Sherman died last Monday,
at the Iturbide hotel, in the City of
Mexico. She was a member of an
excursion party, having gone to
Mexico for her health. She con-
tracted a cold, and it soon devel-
oped into pneumonia, which re-
suited fatally.
Mexico is a costly country in
which to die, for a foreigner, and in
order to bring Miss Sherman's
body to this country her friends
had to pay the government of
Mexico $3.50, which is the amount
the government eXacts for the
privilege Of transporting body
over a railway in Mexico. In addi-
ton to this tax, the regular fees of
the undertakers and railway COM
pany had to be added. A young
gentleman in charge of the corpse
said that in all it cost $6l5 to land
the body in Armenia. He thought
the imposition of the $3.50 tax an
outrage, and said he plainly told
the Mexican officials so, but to nc
purpose. The money had to be
paid, or the body buried within "a
hours. He paid, and vehemently
states that Mexico or MeXicans will
get no more of his or his friends
money If it is in his power to pre-.
vent it.
