Plot For q Modern Novel.

He visited the tomb where his beloved
wasAaid. Carrying lighted candle and
kneeling by her coffin, he exclaimed pas
sionately: would could die! Would
could die!"
Just then the wind closed the door and
extinguished the light. The bereaved
lover who had just prayed for death rushed
to the door. He could not open it. He
tore at it, knocked, kicked, struggled,
calling loudly for help. No answer, only
the utter silence and darkness of the tomb.
His Wish to die WAS forgotten. He sank
down and wept. His tears were not for
his beloved, but for himself. He felt
pangs of hunger. He thought Of his can
die and out 1t into four parts.
He ate the first quarter the first day, the
second tho second day, the third on the
third day, the last quarter the fourth day.
No moro, and he must die of starvation.
He made one moro desperate effort to burst
the door, when it suddenly opened, and
the keeper of the Cemetery stood before
him. The sunlight blinded him. He foil
from exhaustion.
He had been there just four hours!-

Last Amenities.

"On two occasions within-a few years."
said citizen, "when have attended fu.
nerals, have observed at the cemetery
methods that were quite new to me, al
though one of them at least has obtained
for some years. That one is the lining Of
tho graves with white muslin, SO that the
earth is not visible. The other method
that was new to me was the spreading
upon the ground, Immediately around the
grave, of evergreen boughs, SO arranged as
to cover the freshly thrown out earth from
view, while the tips projected slightly over
the edge of the grave. The opening Of the
grave was, Of course, plainly viAible among
these green boughs, but not the sides. Tha
modern burial casket In form and finish Is
as unlike the old fashioned coffin as II ID
possible for it to be, and these newer meth
ods pertaining to the actual interment
seem, in some measure at least, to rob even
the grave of it's terrors. New York Sum-

The Origin of Sugar.

"Who invented or discovered sugar?' is
a question that was recently asked in Ger
many, and tho answer given was that sug-
ar has been known since the dawn Of his
tory but not in all countries. The Chi
nese appear to have delighted their palates
with sugar for more than 5000 years, and
it was known in India earlier than in Eu-
rope, being made from juicy reed or cane.
One of Alexander the Greats generals car
ried sugar to Greece In the year 1896 B. c.,
as Sir Walter Raleigh, some 1000 years
later, carried tobacco from Virginia to
England. But even SO lato as $50 A. d.
sugar was still rarity in Greece. The fa-
nous physician Galen used 1t as a remedy
for certain maladies. Recent experiments
show that sugar has remarkable sustain
ing power when eaten by those undergoing
great fatigue, The invention of the first
process for refining sugar is ascribed to the
Arabs, and Venetian merchant is said to
have purchased the secret from them and
introduced the process in Sicily. The re-
fning Of sugar was first practioed In Eng
land about 1859.-Youth' Companion.

Husband and Wife.

The latest work published by Gustav
Wied, a modern Scandinavian writer, con-
tains the following diatribe: "You often
hear 1t said Of IL married couple that they
lead cat and dog life. Why, to be sure,
the wife is the wicked, cunning, silly, ly-
ing, unintelligent, crafty, mean spirited
cat; the husband, the good, generous,
clever, truthful, docile, improving, noble
hearted dog. ."-Tagliohe Rundsohau.

Recognized the Symptoms.

The other day Rookland (Me.) man
rushed down the walk from the house,
sprang over tho fence into the street, slap
ped his leg twice, took off his hat, and
wiping his brow looked into the sky and
laughed loudly, executed little dance
and then, noticing an acquaintance, shot
violently across the street, with his hand
outstretched and mouth open. "Boy or
girls' asked the acquaintance before young
Mr.. Happimsn could speak. ''Great
Scott!" shouted young Mr.. Happiman,
dragging the acquaintance into a oigar
store, "who told you about it?"-Boston

knights OF Old.

The knights of the days Of chivalry were
so we'll protected by their armor that they
were practically invincible to all ordinary
weapons. Even when dismounted they
could not be injured, save by the miseri-
oorde thin dagger, which penetrated the
chains of the armors. In more than one
battle knights fallen from their horses
could not be killed until their armor had
been broken up with axes and hammers.

HOURS AND WAGES.

Reduction Of tho Former without Inter.
fering With the Latter.
Since 30 years ago there has been here
as we'll as in England, great reduction
in the hours of labor. But this was not
accomplished for the pleasure Of the wage
earners. 1t was accomplished because ex-
perienoe proved that after certain state
Of fatigue had been reached labor was un-
profitable. The hours may still further
be reduced. A large volume Of evidence
has been collected In the last few years to
show that production Is even more eco-
nomioal with an eight hour than with q
nine hour or ten hour day. Experiments
In this direction are In progress. II what

Artificial Skin.

A process has been patented in Germany
for making a substitute for the natural
skin for use in wounds. The muscular
coating of the intestines Of animals is di-
vested of mucous membrane and then
treated In a pepsin solution until the mus
cular fibers are half digested. After Sec
ond treatment with tannin and gallo acid
a tissue is produced which oan take the
place of the natural skin, and which,
when laid on the wound, is entirely ab-
sorbed during the healing process.
