used to plotting brides and foreigners, country
folk. stupid folk aud bright folk, but never be-
fore have sigrtseers wandered through the
Treasury corridors singing hymns. 1t IS SAID
that there is less hymn singing being done IN
Washing ton than is usual at tine Conventions
but up and down the streets, in tire cars ana
hcrtIics and everywhere we hear them sing

The old English law which forbids a man
marrying his deceased wifes sister is up every
year for repeal bnt is still in furce. The royal
family itself cannot disregard it, even for a
state alliance. There have been Euglishmen
who disobeyed the law, but they are punished
by the marriage being unrecognized officially,
the wife having no right to titles, and the
children suffering many disadvantages.

Death of Mrs Weaver.

Herndon, Ky, Nov. 9.-The dark
shadow Of death that has been hover.
ing over one Of our happiest homes
for several days past came in on Sat
urday night last at s o'clock and
claimed as its victory Mrs. Annie Ida
Weaver, wife Of Mr.. W. H. Weaver
and daughter of E. j. and S. c..
Faulkner, she being their only daugh
ter. Great care was taken in early
life to instill in her young mind the
necessity of obedience and faithful
ness. Tis so hard for that father to
part from such a dutiful child,
though in coincidence with the be.
reaved father we can only point him
to the home to which she has gone.
Mrs. Weaver was born Nov. 24th,
1868; she was never connected with
any church, though in 1881 under the
preaching ofRev. A. w. Meacham she
was truly converted and has since
then lived a devoted christian. On
Dec. 18th, 1887, she was married to
Mr.. W. H.SVeaver, their union being
one OF great happiness. They had
heen blessed with four children. thrc e
of which survive her though yet too
small to realize the important necesi-
ty of a mothers care. We extend our
deepest sympathy to The husband aud
relatives in their great loss.
Tis sad from friends to be parted
Though the days will swiftly g,
When well meet and greet each other
On the happy golden shore.
God will watch and guide the littla ones
Across the sea so broad and deep.
Soon they'll meet their loving mother
Who in earth so coldly sleeps.

Chasing a Dummy Rabbit.

In the absence Of live rabbits the
Preside club inaugurated a new
sport which is quite likely to super
sede the original game. 1t is the
running of a stuffed hare by the
dogs. To do this an inverted bicycle
with the tire off one Of the wheels
was located at one end Of the field.
A string, wound around the tireless
wheel, stretched 125 yards off,
where it was tied to q stuffed hare,
The "winder" or wheelman waited
for the signal and began turning
the wheel so as to haul in the string
and the rabbit, which the dogs tried
to overtake. In one instance only
did the terriers reach the game. -

Is l. Dangerous 20 Slsep IN he
mooniiZhl 2


Mooniigh 2
The fact that it is dangerous to
sleep with the moonlight falling on
ones head has always been ka )wa
to superstitious, and has always
been denied by scientific, mea. a
man may sleep,in the moonlight Oh
the deck of ship in the tropics, ana
awake either NAL or inbecile, but
the ships doctor will scout the idea
that the moonlight has had anything
to do with the mans misfortune,
whereas the superstitious man
knows the danger of sleeping in the
moonlight as well as he knows the
danger Of starting a journey on
Friday. The discovery Of the Roent-
gen rays will prove that in this mat
ter of moonshine the superstitious
man has been right and the merely
scientific man has been wrong. Re-
Gently mans brain was examined
by aid of the Roentgen rays, which
were used to make his skull trans
parent, and the next day it was
found that the rays had turned the
mans hair perfectly white wherever
they had struck it, The Roentgen
rays exist in both sunlight and
moonlight. If these rays, when
given out by an electric light, can
turn the hair gray, may they not,
when given off by moonlight, have
the power to affect the brain of the
sleeper who has exposed his head to
them2 If so, we have satisfactory
explanation of the perfectly well
ascertained fact that it is dangerous
to sleep in the moonlight, especially
in the tropics. Before very long
scientific men will gravely announce
that they have made this important
discovery, and science will then be
able to boast the possession Of one
more grain of truth. Parsons

ANOTHER BLIND TOM,

In the person of Tom Taylor, a
blind negro, Georgia has a darby
who is second to Blind Tom, the
famous negro musician, whose per-
tormances on the piano won for him
worldwide fame. Tom Taylor has
been blind from youth, but he has
an ear for music and can play al
most as we'll as a skiIlful musician
who has given all his time to learn
lag to perform. Tuesday Tom Tay-
Tor gave a performance at the Cop
perfield club to number of local
newspaper men. He displayed a re-
markable talent for music and his
performance on the piano was Won
derful. The negro has never had
any training and it was just by &C.
cident that his talent was discov-
cred when he was quite young He
plays skillfully, and pieces that he
had never heard were whistled for
him, which he would repeat Oh the
instrument and then show lis own
appreciation Of his ability by en-
gaging in the applause which the
assembled newspaper men gave him.
The negro is only 25 years of age
and makes his living by going from
