Tho Unexpected.

A young German countess belonging
to Hanover was noted unbeliever.
She was especially opposed to the doc.
trine Of the resurrection. Before her
death she gave orders that her grave
was to DO covered with a slab Of gran.
lite, clamped to other stones, and that
on the granite slab should DO engraved
the following words:
"rhis burial place. purchased to all
eternity, must never be opened"
All that human power could do to
prevent that grave from being opened
was done. But little seed found lodg.
ment IN q crevice Of the stones which
covered the dead body OF the countess
and sproutcd.
The tiny ohoot found its way between
the stone side and the slab which lay
on the top OF the grave. II grew by dc.
grees, and at last, actually lifted tho
heavy slab and forced the gravestones
apart. Thus the grave was opened
after all. and that, too. without any
miracle.

gard this grave with q kind Of awe.

SOr0h n m Seed for Food.

In India and China sorghum seed IL
very largely used for human food. 1t
Is regarded as preferable to rice. which
Is commonly supposed to be the mainte.
nance Of these peoples, constituting
nearly half the worlds population. In
this country sorghum seed has been
mainly used as feed for chickens and
other farm stock. But some years ago
u nelghbor farmer who grew sorghum
saved some Of the seed ana had It

-four, and we thought that for change
II would with sorghum syrup make q
better griddle cake than anything else
except buckwheat.

Wonderful Power.

The power Of Imagination Is amusing.

lady who had never heard the celcbrat.

day obtained permission to attend q
rehearsal Of one Of his concerts.
1t 30 happened that Paganini did not
trke his violin with him to the re.
hearsal that day. but borrowed one
from member Of the orchestra. and In
stead Of playing rs usual. simply kept
up kind Of pixxicato accompaniment.
After the rehearsal the old lady went
up to Mr.. Cooke. the musical director,
and said In burst Of enthusiasm, 10Y.
dear! Mr.. Cooke, what wonderful
man he Ii! I declare I never knew
what music was capable Of till this
morning."
"lndeed, madam, he IL truly a mar.
.clous man." assented Mr.. Cooke. with
a smile; but this morning you are In.
dcbted rather to your Imagination than
to your ears for the delight you have
had. for Pagnnini has not really played
at all. He has not even touched q
bow"

herself, ''then oil Lean nay IL. he's even

Ono Little Kori.

The little word "again" has appar.
emily nothing humorous about It, but II
once threw large assembly into ITS Of
laughter.
1t was at a public meeting In New
York. One Of the speakers, the Rev.
Mr.. H., had the misfortune. when he
tried to take a seat, to miss the chair
and come down at full length on the
platform. Tho accident accustomed a
little subdued mirth, especially as the
unfortunate divine was very tall. and
seemed to cover the whole platform
IN his fractic efforts to rise.
When at last II came his turn to
speak, the presiding officer introduced
him In these words:
"The Rev. Mr.. Il. will again take the
floor"
Clapplng, stamping and laughter
reigned for several minutes. The rev.
erend gentleman had never before met
with SO enthusiastic reception.

HumOr of a HumOrist.

with the sort Of anecdotes which seem
most fitted to the life Of a humorist.
Not long since. goes the tale, a big, good
natured c0untryman called upon him
and asked, after a few minutes chat:
"NOw tell me for fact, are you the
one that wrote all them books?'
'Truly am," was the reply.
"Of course you are! of course you
are!" agreed the honest fellow, but, by
George! shouldn't think 1t from your
looks"

being ducked again and again. Every
time the owl came out of it's bath 1t en-
pressed its surprise by loud hootings.
Then in case Of accident to one or 9th.
er bird. or perhaps to both. the owl was
unbound. After shaking its feathers
as a dog shakes its coat. 1t slowly fell
into its usual state Of solemnity. But
1t was always the better for these cx.
cursions on the pond.

only On the evening Of his marriage day
that he wus taken to the house. which

He was conducted up and down
through the rooms, while he grew every
minute more and more mystified. At
length his wife could bear the situa-
ton no longer and broke forth:
ut IL Our house. yours and mine; a

choked and the tears came into his eyes,

1t was while he lived in this house
that he CHANGED. one morning. to look
across the way: there he saw something
which caused him to cross the street
quickly. and deliver this speech to n
group Of people on the veranda:

THE DEATH OF WILLIAM STEINWAY
Noted Piano Manufa cturer II Victim
of Typhoid Fever.

New York, Nov 30.-Winiam SteinWay,
the piano manufacturer died today of ty-
phoid fever. lie had not been in good
phoid fever about four weeks ago. He
was thought TO pc progressing toward re-
coveTy, but sunday had a relapse.
Public funeral services will be conduct
ed Wednesday afternoon at the Lieder-
kranz Club. Many soCieues of which
SteinWay was a member will parade.
Steinway was born near Brunswick,
Germany, March 5, 1886. His father, Henry
Englehard Steinway, was a piano manu-
facturer AT IA he was an expert mu-
sican. In 1919 Steinway's father sent his
SON Charles to this country, to ascertain
the possible field for the piano business
here. The report was favorable. In June,
1850, the elder Steinway moved his family
and business to New York The business
at first was limited to the manufacture of
one piano "a week. Nine years later the
SteinWays built the present factory on
Fourth avenue, from Fifty-secOnd to Fiji

FROM Mr.. BRYAN'S PEN
POsT-ELECTION ARTICLE IN THE
NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW.
..T'he Greatest Issue Ever Sunihl''e"
to the American People IN
Time of Peace"

New York Nov. 30.-In the December
number of the North American Review,
published today, Mr. Bryan has an article
in which he discusses the result OF the
election as affecting the status OF the Sill
yer question. The issue on when the
election turned he describes as the great
est issue ever submitted to the American
people in time of peace"
The declaration of the Chicago conVen-
ton in favor of the free coinage OF silver
forced upon the people of this country
he says, d study of the money question IN
general. Within the last four months
more people have been simultaneously en-
gagged in it's consideration than ever be
fore in the history of the world. The re-
suit of this study Bryan declares to be
temporary defeat, but final gam for the
cause of bimetallism.
Mr.. Bryan regards it as significant
fact that the silver sentiment was strong
est where the question has been longest
!dered; that is to say, in the west ana
south.
In Mr. Bryan's opinion the cause Of BIZ
metallism made more rapid progress tniln
any cause ever made in such u short time.
He expresses his assurance that the cleo
ton can be by no means regarded as
conclusive settlement of the question at
issue. The advocates of free coinage are
convinced, he says, that they are labori1g
in behalf of a large majority of the peo-
pie, not only here, but throughout the
world, and, according to the writer, they
propose to continue their contest eOnI-
dent that four more years of experience
will convince many who have thus far
resisted arguments.
This confidence, Mr.. Bryan says, is con-
firmed by the history of recent elections.
Mr.. Greeley was defeated in 1872 and Til,
den was elected in 1876. Blaine was de-
feated in 1884, but Harrison was elected
in 1888. The republican victory of 1888 was
followed by the democratic victory of 1890
and the election of President Cleveland
two years later.
Mr.. Bryan counsels the successful party
to remember that thousands of republic
cans have been held to their party this
year by the pledge that it will try to Sc
cure international bimetallism.
In reference to the gold standard demo-
Gratis, Mr.. Bryan feels assured they can
not do as much in 1900 as they have done
this year. They have declared their al
lection for democratic principles while
they spared no effort to secure the sue
cess of the opposing ticket They can not,
he says, disguise themselves again.
