HOW A COUNTESS CHALLENG-
ED GOD.

Ladies' Home Journal.
In the town OF Hanover, IN Germany,
there Is buried a German Countess
who denied the existence OF God and
ridiculcd the idea Of the Resurrection.
To further show her contempt for
Christianity she ordered that on her
death her grave should be built up Of
solid masonry and covered by large
stones bound together by iron clamps.
On this tomb was engraved her de.
FAINT challenge that through eternity
this tomb should never be disturbed.
But one day the seed from some tree
either blown by the wind or carried
by a bird became lodged in a small
crevicc Of the tomb, where soon 1t
sprOutcd and began to grow. And
then, as II Nature had seemed to mock
the naughty infdel, she quietly ex.
tended the delicate roots Of that
Seeding under the massive blocks Of
stone and slowly raised them from
their place. And now, although
scarce four generations arc passed
since the tomb was sealed, that most

preparation Of vegetables.
African explorers OF the Caucasian
race agree that one part Of the Gle.

is a succulent dish that will regale tho
most delicate taste. This part, yery
strangely, is the first Joint Of the lev
below the knee, which one would sun
pose to be the toughest portion Of the
animal. To prepare the joint a hole
three feet deep Is dug In the earth and
the sides Of It are baked hard by means
Of large live Goals. Most Of the Goals
are then taken out and the elephants
foot is placed 10 the rude oven. The
hole is then filled with dirt, tightly
packed, and q blazing fire is built on
top, which is kept ~replenished for
three hours. The foot is thus evenly
baked, and when done, instead Of
strong, tough meat fiber, 1t is Of a
gellatinous consistency that may be
eaten with a spoon.
