SPREES ATAC CHURCH FESTIVAL.

Contracted for by Subscription in tine
Rhipe.and Village of O5erriageIheim.
1t is 4 custom of the country in Ger
many to get drunk al the conservation
of a new church. This custom has
been regarded as unlovviy AID un-
Christian by many influential Germans
of the new school, most notably by EN-
peror William IL, but still it remains
unreformed, and the comic weeklies do
not tire of depicting the scenes, in and
out of the police court, that follow the
conservation sprees and fights. Some
three weeks ago the festival OF q new
church was celebrated in Oberringel-
helm. in the Rhine country. In antici-
patton of the usual trade in eXhilarat-
ing liquors a saloonkeeper who does
business near the sacred edifice adver-
tised thus in the Rhineland Observer:
Jacob Muller herewith pledges him
self for a subscription price of three
marks (75 cents to serve every one
of his guests with as much wine as he
can drink on the occasion of the church
conservation.
Inviting my friends and patrons to
visit me in response to this request,
remain, respectfully yours,
Jacob Muller"
Within an hour after the newspapers
containing this advertisement APP
peared. 80 citizens of little Oberringel-
helm bought subscription tickets from
Muller At the current price of or
binary Loose wine in the Rhine country,
each of the 80 and their colleagues in
this speculation had to drink 16 large
glassfuls before he could begin to bene-
fit by the subscription tariff. The
final results of the speculation cannot
be known until the police court reports
of the Oberringelheim district arrive
with the newspapers from the con-
tinent.

IN COAL VEINS.
Wonderful Animal and Vegetable Petri-
faction Frequently Discovered.

Wonderful Animal and Vegetable Petri-
faction Frequently Discovered.
Most people know that coal is full
of vegetable remains, but comparatively
few are aware of the fact that animal
and insect bodies by countless millions
also go to make up the great beds of fuel
that are now being SO extensively
drawn upon. The vegetable impress
sions found in coal or in the shale just
above the vein are very beautiful as
well as numerous, not less than 800
different kinds of plants having been
noticed in carboniferous seams in the
different parts of the world. Some of
these plants are very much like those
now living, but the majority of them,
even though found in Nova Scotia or
Iceland, appear to be representatives,
of what are now tropical varieties.
Many animals and insects, says
the Chicago Record, are also found
fossilized and thoroughly preserved
In the coal beds. These petrifled
creatures of the bygone age called the
coal period" are Of various kinds
Huge toad-like reptiles with beautiful
teeth, small tree lizards, great fish with
tremendous jaws, tiny water mites,
snails, "hundred-legged" worms and
thousands of insects of the grasshopper
and dragon fly tribes are also found.
The curious fact is that there is not a
single representative of these fossilized
creatures now living.

VASSAR GIRLS FOOD.
Immense Quantities of Provisions De-
yourcd at the COLLEGE,


\ New York Mail aud EXPRESS report
er has discovered a downtown house
that reicices in the honor OF supplying
the sw set Nassar girls with " hat they
eat. 1t is quite a serious affair, the
educated appctites of these young Ia
dies. They have increased steadily the
past five years, and the merchant who
furnishes "a few figures" says that if
the increase goes Oh it Will he neces-
sary to include the daily food purchases
of the college in the market reports
to see what effect they may have on
prices. This merchant would not give
his own personal figures, but he ex-
hibited an annual statement of the
college that has just been issued.
What will Boston culture and other
things esthetic say to an army of young
women who will so far forget all con
ventionalism as to eat 125, 900 buckwheat
cakes in one year? Nothing surrep-
titious about this either All done
openly and above the table board. Look
ing along the list it will be found that
the young ladies consumed $50 barrels
Of flour, 10000 oranges and lemons,
$4,000 bananas, los, 900 quarts of milk,
1900 bushels of potatoes, $4,000 pounds
of fresh meats, 10000 pounds of smoked
meats, 5000 pounds of chickens, 5000
pounds of turkeys, 5000 pounds of fish,
10000 CLAIMS, 10000 gallons of oysters,
| $4,000 pounds of butter, and last, but
not least, by any means, III q Vassar
| girls composition, $4,000 pounds Of
sugar.
In the above no allowance is made,
it will be noticed, for the stolen fruits
such as forbidden luncheons and candy
smacks after retiring, nor is any atten-
ton paid to the tea, coffee, vegetables
and sweetmeats. Surely these young
ladies have educated appetites.

Food OF Mosquitoes.

1t must be said in defense of mos
quitoes that not one in 100000 ever
tastes blood. They feed ordinarily on
the juices of plants. Why, under the
circumstances, this insect in one sex
should be furnished by nature with an
elaborate blood-sucking apparatus is
one of those things that no fellow can
find out. Mosquitoes have been OBJ
served with their beaks inserted in
boiled potatoes on the table, and they
have even been seen busily engaged in
sucking the juice from watermelon
riDds. In one recorded instance they
have shown a fondnesS for molasses,

MILEAGE EIENDS.
Idiots Who Ride Wheels to Roll Up q
Record OF Miles.

One of the things which await the
easygoing, pleasure-loving cyclist III
late summer and throughout the fall
is the mileage fiend, says the New York
Press, The Warm weather uf the sum
mer usually acts as 4 damper even for
their ambition and powers, and, like
the birds of the woods, they have their
seasons for rolling up their mileage
records, and early spring and the fall
is the time when they make themselves
most conspicuous. On the bouleyards,
the driveways and on the country high
ways they bowl along with bent backs,
projecting elbows, rams horn handles
and heads almost touching the tires
of the front wheel. They are the ma
terial which keeps the bike cop busy,
increases the Golfers of the police courts
and prepares the bike cop for the po-
lice races which the police commits
sioners seem to think necessary for adj
vancement of the force. The mileage
fend to the average wheelman is as
much an object Of pity as the dude is
to the average citizen. just where the
glory comes in of rolling up Il record
of miles is hard to see and means little
more than that the rider foolishly eX-
pended time which could lie used to
better advantage.
