A bat In a Tomb.

A queer story is told of u naturalist
who died i'll 1860 and was buried at
Blankney, IN Lincolnshire. Among his
pets was q large gray bat.
This bat was permitted to enter the
to-ab and was sealed up alive with the
corpse of his dead master. In 1866 the
vault was opened, and TO the surprise
Of all the bat was alive and fat.
On four different occasions since the
relatives of the dead man have looked
after the welfare of his pet, and each
time it has been reported that the bat
was still in the land of the living, al
though occupying quarters with the
dead. 1t was last seen in 1895. Pear

Butter and Cream as Medicine.

One of the favOrite remedies Of ply
sicians is cod liver oil, and why is one
of the mysteries of the world of medi-
cine, when all there is about it is an oil
or fatty substance is wanted that is
easily digested and quite as easily as
Simulated fish oil being appropriated
with small outlay of digestive power.
Why cod liver oil, product of the de-
composition of fish refuse, should ever
have been CHANGED upon when butter
and cream are natures supply and at
once the most readily obtainable is un-
explainable. While any one can take
cream or butter the consuming of fish
oil requires the fortitude of saint and
the heroism of a martyr, and as we
know, the OIL does not agree with many
and is hard OF digestion in others. Now,
it has been demonstrated that fresh, un
salted butter is rather more digestible
than Oil and is pleasant to take, on
thinly cut slices of bread, and as high
as four ounces a day of this butter can
be eaten with impunity by even deli
cate persons, and cream can be taken to
the full desire of the patient. Where
one is recovering from prostrating sick
ness and the body needs nourishment
this fresh butter, it is now asserted, has
no equal in building up the wasted tis-
sues Of the body, and as a stimulant
very hot, fresh milk is without rival,
outside of the use of alcohol, which
last is better left alone, when possible.
Growing children may be greatly bene-
fitted by indulging in generous amounts
of butter, though it may seem expen-
sive, but it may prove the cheapest in
the end. Either of these remedies can
be taken without doctors prescrip-
tion and is outside of the "kill or cure"
warrant. t.-Practical Farmer.

MARRIAGE FOR MONEY.
DIR. Parkhurst on the Tendency to Degrad,
Marriage to the Level of Commerce.

DIR. Parkhurst on the Tendency to Degrade
Marriage to the Level of Commerce.
81 cannot dismiss this matter without
deprecating the tendency SO conspicu
ously operative among us to degrade
marriage to the level of commerce,
writes the Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst,
d. D., i'll The Ladies' Home Journal in
paper on '"The Young Man and Mar
riage.' "This is not denying that there
are material considerations that in this
matter, as i'll all others, require to be re-
spected. A poor young man marrying a
poor young girl, with only the prospect
that their life will become more and
more complicated as time goes on, is
fool. have had affectionate couples
wait upon me to be married and then
ask me to trust them for the wedding
fee. | think that we who are clergymen
ought to refuse to marry applicants who
cannot show to our satisfaction that
there is no likelihood that either they
or their possible offspring will ever
come upon the town.
''Nor, on the other hand, does my
objection lie against any amount of
contingent assets with which either or
both of the contracting parties may
chance to be endowed. My only conten-
tion is that i'll every marriage not es-
sentially unholy the basal element is
love, and that marriages which are 'ar-
ranged, marriages which mean, first
of all, an affair of perquisites or a bar
ter in commodities, are distinct in
fraction upon the spirit of the seventh
commandment. The voluminous dis
plays with which we know such unions
to be sometimes celebrated only aggra-
vate the mischief and operate to teach
our young people III all conditions Of
life that marriage may be reduced to a
species of traffic, differing from the
dealings OH the Stock or Produce Ex-
changes only in some of the details with
which the bargain is consummated.
Such examples are distinctly alien to
the entire genius Of the institution of
marriage"

How They Enjoy Life In q Prison In the
Marquesas.

MarQueSaS.
That "the French are a good natured
people and make easy masters was
Robert Louis Stevenson conclusion
when he had studied the various pro-
tectorates that serve for governments in
the south sea islands. The Marquesas
group, for instance, is under French
control. Mr.. Stevenson tells in "In the
South Seas how he visited the Gala
boose at Tai-o- hae-the port of entry
and found it empty.
From this noontide quietude it must
not be supposed the prison was unten-
anted. The calaboose at Tai-o-hae does
a good business. But some of its occu-
pants were gardening at the residency,
and the rest were probably at work up
OH the streets, as free as our scavengers
at home, although not SO Industrious.
On the approach of evening they
would be called in like children from
play, and the harbor master, who is al
so the jailer, would go through the
form of locking them up until 6 the
next morning.
Should prisoner have any call in
toWh VI pAVoouIO VI olaiLoy hO
has but to unlock the window shutter,
and if he is back again and the shutter
decently replaced by the hour of call on
the morrow-he may have met the har-
bor master i'll the avenue-there will be
no complaint, far less any punishment.
But this is not all The charming
French resident, M. Delarnelle, carried
me one day to the calaboose on an Off
cial visit. In the green court very rag
ged gentleman, his legs deformed with
the island elephantiasis, saluted US,
smiling.
Zone of our political prisoners-an
insurgent from Raiatea,' said the resi-
dent, and then to the jailer, 81 thought
l had ordered him new pair of trou-
sers?'
Meanwhile no other convict was to
be seen.
"Well," said the resident, "where
are our prisoners?'
Monsieur the Resident" replied
the jailer, saluting with soldierly for
mality, cas- this is feast day I let
them go to the chase" They were all
upon the mountains hunting goats.
Presently we came to the quarters of
the women, likewise deserted.
"Where are our good ladies?" asked
the resident, and the jailer cheerfully
responded, II think, monsieur, that
they have gone somewhere to make a
visit" p"
1t had been the design of M. Delar-
nellie, who was much in love with the
whimsicalities of his small realm, to
elicit something comical, but not even
he expected anything SO perfect as the
last.
To complete the picture of convict
life in Tai-o-hae, it remains to be add
ed that these criminals draw salary
as regularly as the president of the re-
public. Ten sous day is their hire.
Thus they have money, food, shelter,
clothing, and, I was about to write,
their liberty.

Hanged and Vanished.

An English custom of not so long ago
was to hang smugglers on gibbets ar
ranged along the coasts and then tar the
bodies that they might be preserved
prts. AS late as 1922 three men thus
vanished could have been seen hanging
before Dover castle. Sometimes the
process was extended to robbers, assas-
sins, incendiaries and other criminals.
John Painter, who fired the dockyard at
Portsmouth, was first hanged and then
tarred in 1776. From time to time he
was given fresh coat of varnish and
thus was made to last nearly IA years.
The weird custom did not stop snug
Cling or other crime, but no doubt it
worked some influence as a preventive.

The Nutritious Marrow.

A grateful mother has just told of the
almost miraculous cure of her grown up
son by the very simple means advised
by an eminent physician 1t was case
of debility and emaciation that nothing
could seem to reach until the physician
in question prescribed a remedy that he
has found remarkably efficacious in
treating weak invalids and delicate chill
dren. This was nothing more than the
eating of an unlimited amount of mar
row. Every day large quantity of the
bones containing marrow was ordered
from the great markets. The only prep
aration necessary was to warm the
marrow sufficiently to enable it to be
easily spread on bread. Then, with the
addition of little salt to render it
more palatable, it was ready to do its
work of regeneration. Under this treat
ment the patient mentioned gained dur
ing the first two weeks ten pounds of
flesh and strength i'll proportion and
afterward continued to gain steadily
until health and strength were quite re-
stored. Philadelphia Press.

Flowers Made of Bread.

One of the latest, and certainly most
effective, methods of making artificial
flowers is the use of fresh bread.
All that is required is a loaf of fresh
bread, some wire and little coloring
matter. According to a we'll known
maker of artificial flowers in the west
end of London, this novel method ia
likely to supersede all others. Not only
do these bread flowers look exactly like
the real article when freshly made, but
as the bread grows stale the flowers as
sumo slightly withered appearance,
which is almost identical with that of a
flower beginning to fade.
AS rule, ordinary artificial flowers
can at once be detected by the unnatu-
rally bright and fresh appearance they
present after being in the heated atmos-
phere of ballroom or elsewhere for
several hours, but the fading power Of
bread flowers practically insures them
against detection, even from the eyes Of
an expert. London Answers.

RUSSIAN NEWSPAPERS.

In the Cars Country There Are Many
Journals With Odd Names.
Newspapers printed in the Russian
language are not circulated nor read
generally i'll the United States, and any
one who has ever made even cursory
examination of a Russian newspaper
printed in Russian characters can see at
a glance why, as far as this country is
concerned, they do not ''fill long felt
want. -
In the naming of Russian newspapers
such journalistic titles as Sun, Gazette,
Press, Observer, Star, Courier, Bulletin,
Advertiser and Eagle do not prevail,
but in place of these more descriptive
titles are used. The humorous newspa-
per of st. Petersburg is called The
Weekly Schut, or, translated, The Fool.
The medical journal of st. Petersburg,
published under authority of the war
cial morning newspaper of Moscow is
The Viedomosti Gorodskoe Politsii, 9th
erise The Police Gazette. The Russian
newspaper best known in this country
is the daily Novoye Vremya, or The
New Times, of st. Petersburg.
One of the illustrated St. Petersburg
weeklies is called The Neva, after the
river which flows through that capital,
and two weekly newspapers longest es-
tablished in the city of Moscow are The
Boudilnik and The Krougozor, other
wise The Alarmer and The Horizon.
For some reason which is not very clear
the word 'wiedomosti," meaning
"news," is popular as a newspaper de-
signation in the city of Moscow. There
are four daily newspapers in Moscow
having this title-The Russian News,
Modern News, Moscow News and Old
News. The Old News is maintained for
the republication of articles from other
newspapers. There are perhaps some
newspapers in the United States worthy
of being called The Old News. but it is
certain that there is no newspaper in
the United States which formally and
voluntarily would assume that title.
The official newspaper of Warsaw is
the Warsaw Police Gazette, and the
word gazette" (gazeta) is as popular
with Warsaw editors as the word
"news'' is in Moscow. There are the
Warsaw Police Gazette, the Warsaw
Polish Gazette, the Warsaw Gazette,
the Warsaw German Gazette and the
Warsaw Gazette Courier. The Gazette
Courier makes a speciality of telegraphic
information, and is not therefore prop
erly speaking a gazette courier, whose
title comes from the days of mailcoaches
and newspaper deliveries by messen-
gers On horseback New York Sun.

Sixty Thousand Seeds to the Plant.

The common purslane is one of the
wonders of botany, as far as seeds are
concerned at least. A single seed of this
plant will produce about 20 seed pods
in season. The average number of
seeds in each of these, by actual count,
is 1000, making $4,000 in all. AS far
as we have been able to learn there is
no instance of similar fruitfulness in
any plant found growing in this coun-
try. A single plant of either the James,
town weed (''jimson'O, the butter
weed, the rag weed and some of the
vervines produce an enormous number
of seeds, but it is doubtful if any one of
them produces one-fourth as many in
year as the purslane does. Louis
