IT is pleasant to hear that official
Europe is now hoping for a Greek VIC
tory to curb the annoyance of the
triumphant Turk. Bat official Europe
has been hoping for Turkish victory and
not only hoping, but helping the Turk to
win. Germany has supplied the Turk
with officers to organize his forces and
plan his campaigns. Christian Europe
has supplied him with the sinews Of war
and with improved arms. It the Turk lie
arrogant and vents his arrogance in OPP
preston and bloody deeds, official Europe
Is responsible.

Official reports show that while
the number of men in the British

sions into hospital were 1892, or
over SO per cent. More than three
quarters of the cases were sexual dis

In most tropical countries dark

ghastly paleness, and in another mo-

and it appears as if the sun is about to
rise out of the west.

six papers, eight public schools, and

SOME EPITAPHS.
Grim Humor Found on Tombstones
in Various Places.

Grim Humor Found on Tombstone,
in Various Places.
The following compilation of cpl
taphs is quoted from Current Litera
ture:
In the churchyard at st. John
Worcester, is an epitaph which, il
brevity is the soul of wit, has high
claim in that character:
Honest John
Is dead and gone
Here are some miscellaneous gro
tesques: &
ITO all my friends bid adieu;
A more sudden death you never knew
AS 1 was leading the old mare to drink
She kicked and killed me quickern d
wink"
On an Fast Tennessee lady:
''she lived a life Of virtue and died ,ot
cholera morbus, caused by eating green
fruit in the hope of blessed Immortality,
at the early age of q years, months and
16 days Reader, Go thou and do like
wise "
The following was composed by
three Scotch friends to whom the
person commemorated had left a
Legacy, with the hope expressed that
they would honor him by some rec
ords of their regrets. The first friend
composed the line which naturally
opened the'epitaph:
Provost Peter Patterson was Provost Of
Dundee"
The second added:
Provost Peter Patterson, here lies he"
The third could suggest no other
conclusion than:
"Halleluiahl HallelujeeW
The following must be taken as
a fling at noble profession:
'Here lies the corpse of Dr. Chard,
Who filled the half of this ehurchyard."
This is as bad as the unkind hint
conveyed in the following, in a
churchyard near Newmarket;
Here lies the body of Sarah Sexton.
Who never did aught to vex one,
Not like the woman under the next some,
Domestic troubles have been laid
bare on the tombstone from the time
of the Greeks and Romans. Here is
a piece of atrocious doggerel to be
seen in Selby churchyard, in York
shire:
Here lies my wife. sad slattern and a
shrew;
If 1 said l regretted her should lie. too"
The following, which frequently APP
pears in collections of epitaphs, are
not credited to any locality, and may
be mere wandering bits Of epigram-
matte misogynism;
This dear little spot Is the Joy OF my life:
II raises my flowers and covers my wife"
Il am not grieved. my dearest life,
Sleep on--Ive got another wife;
Therefore l cannot come to thee,
For must go and live with She"
my wife's dead and here she lies,
No man laughs, and no man cries;
Where she's gone, or how she fares,
Nobody knows. and nobody cares"
Here lies my poor wife, without bed or
blanket
But dead as doornai, and God be
thankit,'

didate of the Boltocrats has no claim
upon him or his consideration. A
Presidential candidate who polled
few votes than did the Prohibition
lists in the late election is certainly
not political force worth consider

it is impossible not to believe that

to grant so small favor is evidence

New York World.
We haye yet to note the arrival of
that prosperity SO confidently pre-
dicted under the rule of Mckinley
and the Republican party. Nor do
we see any signs of its coming
though Mckinley was elected five
months ago.
Meanwhile the Democratic party
is rapidly regaining it's strength.
Town and county elections nearly
everywhere show it. Even in old
New England the change since No,
vember is astonishing, nearly all the
town elections there resulting in
sweeping Democratic triumphs. If
a new President were to be elected
today we feel absolutely sure that he
would bs Democrat.
The Dineley Tariff bill and the
juggling or the Republicans at
Washington disgusts the country.
We repeat what we said some time
ago, that if things go on as they are
it will not bs worth while for the
Republicans to nominate anybody iu
1900. The Democrats will win by
the biggest majority in our history.
