Death of a Trappist.

The burial of a Trappist is a pecu-
liar and solemn ceremony. Immedi-
ately after a monk is dead, the body,
dressed in the monastic robe, is stretch
ed on simple board, the head covered
with the cowl, and then taken to the
monastery chapel. There the body re-
mains until the day of interment, four
yellow wax candles burning all the
time, and all the monks in turn recit-
ing the prayers Of the liturgy, night
and day. On the day of burial the
prayers for the dead and a requiem
mass are chanted, after which all the
monks form in procession to follow
their brother to his last resting place.
During the funeral procession psalms
are chanted in the mournful tones pc
culiar to the Trappist Order. When the
cemetery is reached more prayers are
recited ard then the body is slowly
lowered into the grave, not in a coffin,
but simply dressed in the monastic
robe worn during life. A monk then
goes down into the grave to cover his
dead brothers face with a cowl, after
which the officiating priest slowly
throws shovelful of earth over the
body. Two other monks do the same,
and then the grave is filled up in the
ordinary way. After the burial the pro-
cession returns to the chapel in the
same order
The Trappist cemetery is always
placed in the interior yard of the mon
astery, SO that the dead may always be

one monk is buried, another grave next
to the one just filled is at once par
TALLY dug up, that each may see the
place where he may possibly be laid

THE SHOPLIFTER'S RUSE.

crowd which had gathered in front or

belonged to the light-fingered section

act of helping herself to some linen.
but her protestations of innocence and
loud lamentations had melted the
hearts of the passers-by, who, under
the impression that some mistake
might have been committed, as is fire.
quently the case in these big establish
nentS, espoused her cause with so much
vigor that the inspector was about to
set her free, when the long cloak which
she was wearing slipped off her shoui-
ders and fell to the ground. A complete
transformation scene was the result of
this accident. The thief stood con-
fessed. Her dress was provided with
number of hooks, from which a va

lace fans and parasols were among the

must have been killed outright by the
shock. A nearer inspection, however.

He Has Squared the Circle.

Boston Transcript: P. Valin, ner-
vous little old gentleman of Somerville
has discovered that everybody who
buys liquids is being cheated. He says
the gallon measures in common use do
rot contain 231 cubic inches, as re-
quired by law, and he has proved it to
his own satisfaction by testing a stand
ard gallon measure with set of square
tin boxes of known capacity. Mr. Valin
has great confidence in his own meas
ures and in his method of proof, which
requires a squaring of the circle, but a
little thing like that does not bother
him. He figured out method of sQuar-
ing the circle some years ago, and has
been squaring circles ever since, with
the greatest of ease. He says that, as
a practical result of his figuring, he has
found that the standard gallon is about
wineglassful shy and he calls on
the authorities, in the name of the
president al the continental congress,
to at once ectify this error. Just what
he will do If the government continues
to go on cheating the consumers Of
liquids he does not say, but the man.
dates of a man who has squared the
circle, it seems, should be given some

CURIOSITIES ,of DREAMS.
Some Scientific Explanations of tho
OReer Things We Do and See.


The cause and classification OF
dreams is a subject that, although it
has been discussed from time imme-
mortal, seems to be as little understood,
beyond certain point, as it was ages
ago. At the Hypnotic congress, held in
Paris recently, much time was spent in
considering this question, and though
some interesting theories were brought
forth the savants were but little wiser
when the discussion ended than when
it began. A compatriot of Ibsen, DR..
Mourley Void, professor in the Univer-
5ity of Christiania, gave the result OF
numerous experiments made upon him
self and others who had lent them
selves to the cause of science in trying
to ascertain the dividing line between
the role played in dreams by the cuta-
leous and muscular senses and between
the true images of the day and the
phantoms of the night You rarely
dream this savant says, that you are
lying down, but generally that you are
standing or sitting in way correspond
ing to the position of the member which
makes its impression upon the mind.
For example, if one dreams that he is
standing on tiptoe, it will be found that
his toes are pressing hard against the
footboard of the bed. Dreams of walk
ing, running, dancing and the like are
always produced by the position OF the
feet. Another of this doctors theories
IS that when we dream our minds, to
certain extent, become as they were
when We were children. In support of
this he says that when dreamer, with
hdlf-awakened sense, sees his hand be-
fore him, he instinctively begins to
count the fingers. This is because the
dormant senses reduce the sleeper's
mind to a childish state of feebleness,
and it is in infancy that our first les
sons in computation begin upon cur
fingers. The visual impressions of the
day form another class OF dreams. DR..
Mourley Void is Of the opinion that
happy days are followed by pleasant
dreams, and vice versa Every one
knows, however, that this is not always
the case. At the conclusion of the learn
ed Norwegian's address one of the old
est of his listeners-One of the most eel
abrated physicians in Paris-remarked
to a colleague that if one has had bad
dreams it is because of indigestion or
too much clothes on the bed, or too lit
tie air in the room, or because his wife
snores, or because he is lying in an I'M
comfortable position, and that with
proper precautions there should be chiy
pleasant dreams or none at ell.

FISHING FOR STURGEON.
1t Is Good, Hard Work to Pull One of
Them In.

u Is GOOd, Hard Work TO Pull one OF
Them In.
The fishermen along the river at ES-
sex and Saybrook are now engaged in
sturgeon fishing. Few are aware of the
methods used to catch this monster of
the waters, for a monster it surely is,
often weighing 600 pounds or more.
The sturgeon fisherman is compelled
to use good judgment and master his
prey when caught, for the fish are des-
perate as well as powerful. The net is
Of the same style as an ordinary fish
ing seine, the meshes being fourteen
inches square of twenty-seven thread
twine. This thread would not be suf-
ficient to hold the fish when caught be-
cause Of its great strength and shape,
but no sooner is it caught in the seine
than it becomes entangled in the loose
twine and the work of landing him in
the fishing boat begins. The fishermen
know when the fish is in the net, for
the seine corks begin to sink and dance
On the water, as though electrified. Two
fishermen in the boat approach this

is known as the cork line and the mon
ster is raised till the lantern reveals
its position. Then the hatchet is used
on its head with repeated blows, after
which the fish is allowed to remain sub
merged for time until life is thought
to be extinct. But the fishermen are
often deceived, for the sturgeon may
have been playing possum, as Mr.. Dan
iels and Mate Brockway, Of Hamburg,
will testify. They recently had a mid
night encounter with a 450-pcund stur-
geon, which, after being safely landed
in the boat, came to life in good shape
and proceeded to take charge not only
of the boat, but of the crew in such Il
manner that the frightened fishermen
started their boat for shore and final
ly reached it, but neither was able to
tell how, so excited were they. The fish
lived two hours and wasted no time; it
succeeded in breaking two of the boards
and one oar, as well as tearing the sail
which was slowed in the forward part
of the boat. This fish was considered
one Of the most desperate kind of the
sturgeon species, being known as the
bull nose," which does not often leave
salt for fresh water. In gone-by shad
fishing days when sturgeon got in a
seine with a shad it was always sure
to iterats the whole catch by tearing
a large hole in what is called the
bust" These fish are always dreaded
by the shad fishermen. Their time for
visiting these waters is from the mid
die of June to the first of September,
and, like the swallows, all go-or seem

CHECK PAYABLE TO CUSTER.
Drawn the Day of the Massacre and
Found at Bismarck, y. ID,

Drawn the Day of the Massacre and
Found at Bismarck, n. ID.
A recent dispatch to the Chicago
Record from Bismarck, N. D., gives the
following information: THE tragic
death of Gen. Custer and his gallant
men at the hands of the Sioux Indians
in the massacre of the Little Big Horn,
was recalled here this week by the for
warding to Mrs. Custer of a check for
81 500 drawn to the order of Gen.
George A. Custer in 1876. The check
is dated June 25, and signed by E. L.
Smith, at that time assistant paymaster
of the army. 1t was on June %, 1876,
that the massacre took place. The
check is still unpaid, and soiled and
tattered though it be, constitutes a
valid claim against the government for
the amount represented upon its face,
which was no doubt intended as part
payment Of Gen. Clusters salary as an
officer of the United States army
Where the check has been all these
years no one knows, least of all Michael
Francis, who found it in the street here
tdoL CDl uCtl anu w uO IDS IeldlllGu II
in his possession until now. When
Francis picked up the bit of paper it
was almost as legible as when it was
drawn, but three heavy creases in it
showed that it had been carried in a
pocketbook until it had been worn
through. The parts were joined to-
gether By narrow strips Of paper pasted
on the back, and the edges were some
what soiled, as though the paper had at
one time been dropped in the mud. No
Endorsement appears upon the back of
the check, and the face shows the mark
of no cancellation stamp, demonstrat-
ing that the check has never been pre-
sented for payment. The check was no
doubt forwarded to the northwest be-
fore the news of the Custer massacre
had reached Washington Had ii
reached those in charge of the dead
soldiers effects it would have been sent
| back at once in order that one payable
to the heirs could have been sent on in
its place. 1t has evidently been under
shelter somewhere, and the chances are
that it was mislaid last February and
swept out into the street, where it was
found by Mr.. Francis"

Four Trainmen Frightfully
Injured.
A Coupling Pin Broke and the Victims
Fell Beneath the Cars.
Three Cars Were Demolished and Sew

NEwCoMERsTowN, o., April LA west
bound freight train was wrecked on the
Panhandle about q mile east of here
yesterday and four young men were Sc
riously, If not fatally, injured. John
Wilson, aged %, barber, living at Tus-

Squire HurZey, postmaster of Booth;
William Mercer and Willis Berk-
shire, both of the latter place,
walked three miles TO Urichsville'
to catch freight for Newcomerstown.
The men all stood on the sill Of a car
about midway OF the train. As the train
approached the siding to pull in for the
limited, the engineer found he was
running at high rate Of speed, and made
an emergency stop. The force broke q
car coupling just in front of the one the
men were on, and they dropped off al
most into the jaws of death. Wilson wen
off on the left side and was twirled into
ditch. A car overturned upon him ana
had II not been for the excavation, he
would have been crushed to death. he
has bad face and scalp wounds beside
internal injuries which makes his recovery
hopeless. Berkshire was pinned to the
rail on the other side and on trying to
pull his legs out found them both cut off
above the knee.
Hurzey's right arm was broken in two
places. Berkshire took his coat of,
wrapped it about his severed limbs and
laid down to await surgical aid or die.

and has internal injuries, the severity OF
which cannot be told yet. Berkshire will
die and Wilson is in hopeless condition.
Three of the cars were demolished and
several others damaged.
