SCARED OUT OF THEIR GROWTH.
Medical Students Thought the Corpse Had

Medical students Thought the corpse Hao
Come from n Warm Place.
One of the foremost surgeons of the
town gave dinner to several Of his col
leagues and an old college mate from
the west. All sorts of old stories were
raked up, and the physician from the
days-a story, by the way, that old
Neutrality-suspicious. will remember. 1t
happened in the days when no legal
provision was made for supplying dead
bodies to medical colleges, and the
dreaded might doctor" regularly Piled
his vocation. 1t fell to the lot of two
medical students one night to resurrcct
corpse they knew of as material for
their dissections. One Of the medical
students was this same wealthy sur
geon. The other is now dead. Togeth-
err they visited the cemetery and Sc
cured the body. Wrapping it in q
blanket, they set it up between them
in their buggy. They were by no
means as hardened as the real medical
student likes to be, and they stopped
at wayside inn for something to
brace their nerves. After they hal
taken bracer they took something
to ward off chill and something else
to counterfeit the malarial tendency
Of the night air. Altogether they were
some time in the inn. and the doctor
from the west-he was only medical
student then, and happened TO be ut the
inn-embraced his Opportunity. The
two body snatchers came out, climbed
into their buggy and drove off.
John" said one of them, In n whis-
per, II believe this corpse is getting
worm"
''N-n-nonsense," said the other.
They drove ON.
John" said the first student, "its
getting warmer"
John fearfully touched the body.
Its hot!" he gasped, and then, In
sepulchra tones, the corpse remarked:
If you had come from the place I
have you'd be hot too"
The two students never heard the
final words. for they sprang from the
buggy and galloped of in terror, leav-
ing the supposed corpse to drive back
to town alone. And the great surgeon
and the western doctor reared in the
telling OF the story, with mirth one OF
them did not feel when the story was
new.-Washington Post.

Southern Money Goes North.

The Savannah News says Not very
long ago the Morning News stated that
one of the reasons, and perhaps the chief
reason, why there is complaint Of the
scarcity of currency in the South is that
all of the South's surplus money is sent
to the North to pay for life and fire insur-
ance, interest on the bonds of her railroads
and losses in cotton futures.
1T is stated on what appears to be re-
liable authority that North Carolina pays
out in insurance premiums 50, 900, 600
annually and gets back only 81, 600, 900
In other words, she is out 81 600, 900 a
year on the single item of insurance. That
money goes to the North and helps to in
crease the wealth Of the people of that
section. 1t is safe to say that the net
profit of the insurance business which the
South does with the North amounts to
fully s25, 900, 600 year. This is not
the amount Of insurance money which the
South pays the North, but the amount
which the North keeps

An Indian Fable.

Dr. Benjamin Franklin has related, as
coming from the lips of chief of the Sus-
quehanna Indians, the following tradition
In the beginning, said the child of
nature, our fathers had only the flesh of
animals to subsist on, and if their hunting
was unsuccessful, they were starving, Two
of our young hunters, having killed deer,
made fire in the woods to broil some part
of it. When they were about to satisfy
their hunger they beheld beautiful young
woman descend from the clouds and set
herself on that hill which you see yonder
among the blue mountains They said to
each other-'It is spirit, that, perhaps,
has smelt our bfoiling venison, and wishes
to eat it. Let us offer some to her ,
They presented her with the tongue She
was pleased with the taste Of it, and said,
Your Kindness shall be rewarded. Come
to this place after thirteen moons. and you
shall find something that will be of great
benefit in nourishing you and your children
to the latest generations. They did so,
and to their great surprise they found
plants they had never seen before, but
which from that ancient time have been
constantly cultivated among us to great adj
vantage Where her right hand had
touched the ground they found maize,
where her left hand had touched it they
found beans, and where she had seated
herself they found tobacco

Work and Worry.

1t is a well-understood fact that it is
not work that kills, but worry and from
this text some most sensible and profitable
hygienic discourses have been preached
during recent years. The conclusion of
the whole matter is this
Brain work is conducive to health and
longevity, while brain worry causes disease
and shortens life The truth of this state
ment and its application to what we see
around us are evident enough; yet it is
well that such subjects should be contin-
ually discussed
A life of intellectual labor, although
severe, like that performed by the judges
of our highest courts, or By scholars and
persons devoted to literary pursuits, if un-
mixed with excitement and followed with
regularity, is not only happy life, but is
seen also to promote bodily health and
long life.
On the other hand, mental cares, at
tended with suppressed emotions, and oc-
cupations which from their nature are
subject to great vicissitudes of fortune and
constant anxiety, break down the lives of
the strongest.

Information About Greece.

1t has a population of 2,1S7, 203.
1t is called ''Hellas'' by its people.
The mean temperature is, 81 degrees
Fahrenheit.
No part of Greece is 10 miles from the
sea or 10 from the hills.
About one-half of the population are
agriculturists and shepherds.
1t has an area of "a, 977 square miles.
1t is the only country in the world whose
armies are provided with the Gras guns
and paper-covered cartridges.
The Greek flag is a white cross on
blue ground-the Bavarian colors and the
Greek cross
Greece is more thickly populated than
any other country in Europe, with the ex-
ception of Sweden and Prussia
1t has few rivers and many hills None
of the former are navigable, and many of
the latter are fortified.
It's present boundary limits were deter
mined by an arrangement among Great
Britain, France, Russia and Turkey, con-
cluded at Constantinople on July q, 1882.
Only about 80, OO9 of the inhabitants
speak any language other than Greek, and
only about 20, 600 profess any religion
other than the orthodox.
The chief characteristics Of the average
Greek are his lnquisitiveness, fOndness for
excitement, love of discussion, desire for
knowledge, an aptitude for learning, and
aggressive patriotism.
The climate has two striking peculiari-
ties-the heat in summer and the cold in
winter are far more intense than those of
any other country in the world lying in the
same latitude. Cell once remarked that
in travelling through the Morea in March
be found summer in Messenia, spring in
Laconia, and winter in Arcadia, without
having moved beyond radius of so miles. .

How Butler Lost a Horse
From Household.

While in front of Petersburg Gen But

horse, Almond Eye, had been accidentally
killed, by falling into ravine. Upon the
departure of his informant he ordered an
Irish servant to go and skin him.
''What! Is Almond Eye dead?' asked
Pat.
What's that to you? Do as bid you,
and ask no questions
Pat went about his business, and in an
hour or two returned.

'Does it take nearly two hours to per-
form such an operation?
"No, yer honor; but then, you see it

General Butler cast upon his servant
such ferocious look that Pat thought he
meditated skinning an Irisbman in revenge
for the death of his horse.

A Cheap Haircut.
From Harper's Round Table.

IIOlH I1dI pei > houl4d 1duI6s
There is in New York city little Ger
man barber-shop, the proprietor of which
has a grievance against the Irish race that
will not be wiped out for some time One
evening in his hearty German way he
welcomed customer burly son of Ire
land with an enormous shock of hair, who
roughly cried,
"Oi want hair cut. Do yez moind?"
'Yah, Won haircut nit der head!'
''Yis, that s it; wan hair cut, and with
a yawn the Celtic gentleman threw himself
in the chair.
While the barber was preparing his
scissors the Irishman nodded few times,
and in short while had apparently dropped
into doze The barber went Industrious
ly to work, and the locks fell with every
clip Of the scissors Meanwhile the Irish
man slept on At last the hair was cut
and brushed, and the barber exclaimed:
Zach dat is goot. You looks joost
like Won gentleman
With start the man of Ireland awoke
and gave a glance in the mirror.
"Say, Germany, did OF ask yez to cut
my hair?'
yah dot S vot do
'What' that? Did oi say wanted
my hair cut? Did oil?
Yah, yah! Dots right.
With a rush the Trishman grabbed him
by the collar.
''Look here, Germany, OF said OF want
ed hair cut; that's wan hair-do yez
hear?-the long wan that was hanging in
front For what do yez want to be cuttin'
all of thin? Oil have the law on yez at
once fer that" And with a wrathful
countenance he slapped on his hat and left
the place before the astonished barber could
recover from his fright.
When the rollicking Irish wit turned
the corner he was heard to remark, Faith,
that $ chape way to git haircut. y

The Training Of Wives.

Belgian authorities recocognize the fact
that one of the best qualifications for
wife is the ability to run a well l-ordered
home and have undertaken to supplement
home training in housewifery by the estab-
lishment of classes in both the primary and
secondary schools, where the whole system
Of housekeeping is taught, beginning with
the smallest children and continuing till
girls are graduated. An interesting ac
count of the plans adopted is given in an
English paper
One Of the largest of these classes is
held in the basement of Brussels house
One room is set apart for lecture purposes
and In 1t. talks are given on domestic econ
omy, nursing, care of children and invalids
and hygiene. Another room is furnished
as kitchen and the cooking utensils are
precisely such as would be found in the
cottage of any respectable workingman.
On the walls are odd-looking pictures of
joints Of meat with prices attached and
notes stating whether it would be most
economical TO roast, boil, stew or fry in
each case. Members of the class take
turns in cooking the dinner every day.
They are made to go through the form of
purchasing all materials for the meal, which
must not cost more than 40 cents and must
be sufficient for six persons.
Both Judgment and economical manage
ment are required to feed six persons at
cost of 40 cents, but it is stated that the
girls turn out very fair meals each dish
being well made, nicely seasoned and cooked
to perfection. The girls 90 through a
regular course in the laundry as well as in
the kitchen and order everywhere is espe-
cially insisted upon Two hours a week
are given to instruction in making dresses,
darning stockings and all kinds Of needle
work. Lessons on how to take care of
children are also given and real live babies
are brought in, undressed, bathed and
dressed again by the pupils They are
taught in other classes how to bind up
wounds, dress burns and treat the simple
kinds of ailments, In the evening there
are special classes for the benefit of young
girls who work in mills and factories or are
otherwise employed during the day. The
result of all this is said to be that when
Brussels girl marries she is more likely to
be a success as a wife than any other
female in Europe

History Of Spoons.
From the Boston Transcript.


If you desire to know about the scar
city of really reliable data on the history
of spoons take down your handbooks and
encyclopedias and see if it doesn' t take you
long while to learn anything concerning
their origin, nativity" etc. In fact,
the antiquarians do not pretend to give
us anything of value in that line. 1t is
admitted that they are very ancient,
but just exactly how old they are and by
whom and where they were first used are
points upon which we are left completely
in the dark Creighton says: 'tSpoons
must have been very ancient invention,
for Saxon spoon Of perforated silver gilt,
ornamented with gems, was found in a
grave at Sarre, Thanet. -
When forks were unknowA spoons played
very important part at the table. Spoons
of the thirteenth century, and even later,
had handles terminating in knob, knot,
acorn or other odd and cumbersome devices.
About the period of the Restoration, of
which so much is said in English history,
a great change was made in the forms of
spoons. In some of the unique patterns
the spoon part was divided into two.
three and even four parts, and the handle
always split Or twisted and turned up, in
stead of down and back. Spoons of that
period were all blunt, instead of being
pointed as in the forms generally seen at
present They continued short and blunt
down to the time of George l, when they
were first made pointed and had the
handles turned down instead of up.
About the year 1900 what were known as
"apostle spoons were introduced. They
were so called because they had the figures
of the twelve Apostles carved upon their
handles. They were generally given by
sponsors to children at their time of bap-
tism. The wealthy presented the entire
twelve, those who could not afford to in
dulge in such extravaganza giving one or
more, according as they felt able
The most curious and remarkable spoon
in the world, perhaps, is coronation
spoon preserved among the other royal
relics in the Tower of London. The bowl
is of gold and the handle of silver. The
handle is split down the middle and set
with all kinds of precious stones. The
relics is valued at about 920, 600, or up
wards of 500, 0G0.
