The decay of college oratory and

than we had supposed, says the New

Die to expect students whose first duty
is to athletics to do high-grade literary
work in the intervals of training, but it
is exactly to meet the wants of "busy
students" and of the man who, "as the
victim of circumstance" is forced to
perform literary labors for which he
has neither time nor adaptability" that
an Ohio firm has been founded and is
now in business. A recent circular of
theirs is before us in which they make
clear that original orations" are with

player. These range in price from
three to fifteen dollars, according to
style, length, nature of subject, etc. :"
and no money is required in advance. "
Hlgh-school orations naturally come
cheaper. while political speeches" can
be had for from ten to thirty dollars,
which we should say was high for
the goods, and lectures" range
from ten to fifty dollors, which
seems to us doubtful bargain. Ser

cents to twenty-five dollars, but the in

guarantee of originality accompanies
"low-priced sermons" The advertisers
justly observe that honest conscicn-
tlous work Is the greatest of advertise
ments," and point with pride to the
growth OF their business from ssn ,,oro

the severe integrity and scrupulous
good faith with which they have car
ried on the career of cheating.

more American. When he went there
Connell was insane and deaf. His cure
has been effected by clap of thunder.
Director George Booth, of tho depart
ment of charities, and Superintendent
Licdcman, of the farm, vouch for the
truth of the story. One night Cornell
went to his room us usual He had
been netting very quccrly and his room
mate was cautioned to keep Il watch
over him. About midnight the two
were awakened by the storm which be-
gan that night. The storm was broken
by the tremendous clap of thunder
The peal had hardly died away when
Conncll sprang from his bed and raised
shout that startled the entire build
ing. Finding that he could shout, tho
man began dancing about the room
lie yelled, clapped his hands and sang,
while tears of JOY ran down his face.
Up to that hour none in the establish
ment had known his name Being
dumb he could not give any account of
his name as John Conncll, and he says
he was born in Pittsburgh md seven
years ago went west.
Eventually he secured work ut q
mine owned by California company.
His two brothers obtained work in the
same mine. One day there was n ter
rife explosion in the mine and Conncll
was the only man taken out alive. His
two brothers were killed. Connell was
removed to n hospital maintained by
the miners union, and, after being I'M
conscious for nincty-six hours, rccov-
cred to find his voice gone and his mind
wandering. He was awakened, he
says, by the clap of thunder, and re-
CARDS his recovery as miracle. lie
says the loss of his hearing was attrib-
utcd by the California doctors to the
explosion of dynamite in the mine.

Ancient burial Placea.

In ancient times burial was always
without the walls of cities and towns.
Indeed, before the time of Christianity
it was not lawful to bury the dead
within7thc cities, but they used to be
carried out into the field and there de-
posted. About the end of the sixth
century st. Augustine obtained of
King Ethelbert temple of idols-used
by the king before his convcrsion-and
made burying place of it, and ST.
Cuthhcrt aftcrward obtained "a. D. 1872
leave from the popo to have yards made
to the churches suitable for the burial
OF the dead.

Tho Nioou Has Been nInliened.

1t was recently pointed out by Sir
John Hutton in his annual address to
the county council that in 1889 there
were 1G,oi1 paupcr and imbccilc asy-
lums. January l of the present year,
however, these figures had been in
creased to 1s,05s, or an average increase
of 400 per annum. The rate of increase
last year was strillingly in excess of
any previous year, and stood at not
less than S07, the blazing summer
months being considered responsible
for this big jump in the figures. In
spite of what the poets have said, it
looks as if the sun had more malign
effect ON human wits than the moon.

Jurymnn Who Objected to Being
Pointed AT.
In New England courtroom one
afternoon an energetic counsel was
setting forth, in no measured terms,
his opinion of certain testimony which
had been given by one of the wit
ncsses. As he talked he gcsticulated
freely, and was particularly lavish in
the use of the forefinger of his right
hand, which assumed a decidedly
threatening aspect as he progressed
In his speech.
Suddenly tall, lanl1 countryman,
who was directly in line with this
warming forcfinger, rose from his seat
among the jurymen.
Il jest tell We what It's" said he; ''I
amt done nothin' I'm ashamed of. 1

ferred entirely to the witness"
"Wcll, then, you jest quit a-pintin'
Your finger Mt me when you're talllin'

without appearing to be much molli-
fled by this statement. 'If you do it
agin I'll break up this ERE court, or

And with Il determined lnicn and fire
in his eye Joshua Bowkcr at last sub
sided, and the counsel continued his
