Some Quaint Epitaphs.

In an article on quaint epitaphs, the
london Funeral Director journal
says The following in Penrith Church
yard is refreshing in these days of de
ceit, on account Of its candor:
"Hers lies the man Richard and Mary hi!
wife,
Their surname was Pritchard, andthey Lived
without strife.
rhe reason was plain-shey sbounded ir
riches,
They had no care nor pain, and the vile wore
the breeches."
The owner OF this inscription, now
resting in Hebburn Churchyard, was
probably . democrat, and had scms
little opinion Of himself:
"This humble monument will show,
Here lies an honest msnS
You Kings, whose heads are nov a. low,
Rise higher II you can!'
John Dale was q courageous man.
This is the epitaph over his remains in
Bakewell Churchyard, Darbyshire:
"Know postsrity that on the sth OF April,
q the year Of grace 1877, the rambling re-
mains Of John Dale were, In the sighty-sixth
year OF his pilgrimage, laid upon his two
wives;
This thing in life might raise some jsal.

Here all three lie together lovingly"
One epitAph in ufraoombe Church.
jard shows faith:
"Weep not for me, my friends 50 dear,
am not dead, but sleepin4 hsrsy
My debt is paid, my grave 10 free,
And in due course youIl come to ma
Not far from this We have An exam
pie of quiet self glorification
"Here lies kind and loving wife

Evidently marriage was not failure
IN this case.

rue FLEET OF MONITORS

THAR Hi.tory q Long Record OF Ex'
trnyaxance Because OF Neglect.
When the story Of the monitors In the
Cnited States navy shall come to DC
told It win lay bare . long record OF
extravasance consequent upon neglect
Some Of the uncomplsted or recently
completed monitors were. begun while
many officers Of the navy were stin In
their cradles, and tho deet Of monitors
Just ordered from the James River,
near Richmond, has been lying there
rusting these twenty years. They are
Of the single-turret typo. One COM
mander. aboard the Ajax, served Tor
tho whole neet They are all single
screw steamers, Of $40 horse power,
and each carries two guns. The Ajax,
Canonicus, Mahopac, Manhattan and
Wyandotte are 2.1O0 tons each. while
the Catskill, Jason, Lehigh, Montauk,
Nahant, Nantucket, Passaic and Com
anche are Of ,S76 tons each. Only two
out of tho six remaining at Richmond
are TO be prepared for sea, and 1t ID
said that Of the four that have not been
ordered Immediately from the James
some will probably be sold as scrap

The history Of the old double-turret
monitors, several Of which have lately
been completed, Is something like that
Of their single turret sisters. The largest
Of these great ironclads Is the Puritan.
She is Of 6,O60 tons and Of {, 100 horse
power. and she carries ten guns. She
is a double barbette turret monitor
and so are the Monadnock and Amphi-
trite. They are the Terror, q double
turret monitor. are each Of $500 tons
and 1.0O0 horse power. The Mo1ad-
mock carries six guns and the other two
carry four guns each. All Of the
double-t -turret monitors are twin screw

tho mystery of the navy for nearly q
quarter Of q century. and the compile
ton Of several Of these ships has dis.
appointed the expectation Of every.
body that knows their history. Their
cost was enormous, and there have
been great changes In their plan Of con-
struction. One Of them lay for years
at the shipyards at Wilmington, Del,
until the shipbuilders put In a claim
Of many thousands Of dollars for dock

Rortue for water in Rocks,

Baron Nordenskjold has shown rrae-
IDEALLY that water can be found BY boz
Ing into granite and other crystalline
rocks to depth Of from 100 to ITO feet
His theory was that the variations in
temperature ought to cause shearing
strains between the upper and lower
layers Of the rock, which would make
horizontal crevices into which water
from the surface wuld percolate, and
that the water would be fresh. A well
was sunk in the islet Of Arko. OF the
Swedish coast, In 1894, and at ITO feet
fresh water was found, supplying 4. .40C
gallons q day. Since then six Other
wells have been bored and water found
at about the same depth. The objec,
Of the search was to provide light
houses and pilot stations with per
manent and plentiful supply Of water
