A woman as a grave digger! The idea
seems almost impossible but in the town
of Lewes England, says Tit-Bits. there
is lady who fills the Office of sexton.
Everybody knows her. and until recently
she dug all the graves in Lewes cemetery.
Now, at the age of co. she contents her
self with filling them up and attending
to the mounds and flowers.
Mrs. Stee--the name of the sextoness.

GIRLS Who Are being Trained n
Nurses Take q Regular Course
IS OF Training.

In one direction. at least, Egypt is
Tar advanced. 1t believes in physical
culture. The interest in gymnastics is
so great that system of daily exercise
has been introduced in all the primary
schools Of Cairo. Each pupil, says the
London Graphic, has on an average two
hours per week. The training consists
of club drill and gymnastics, as taught
by the British army. In the case of the
boys SO trained there is excellent rca-
son. Some of these boys will eventually
lie passed into the military school 10
pass as officers of the army, hence the
physical training. Many of their old
school fellows thus trained were in the
late Atbara fight.
The gymnastic instructors of the
ministry of public instruction were
trained first in Egypt and afterwards
taken to England. After showing a,
the royal military tournament in Lon
don and Dublin they were sent 10 AL
dershot for q further coarse of train
ing. Returning to Egypt at the expira-
ton CT their course, they were at once
transferred to the ministry of public
instruction.
The training of boys in this manner
is lar from common thing. but Egypt
mas carried gymnastics even further.
The girls being trained as nurses for
the government hospital are rut
through the same course, and it is part
of their regular instruction to ro
through a short period of club swing
ing each day.

PURGING THE PENSION ROLL.
Scheme Proposed for That Purpose by DR..
j. II. Gardner, Of New York.


New York, March 1.-Dr. John H.
Gardner, Of New York, who some time
ago was medical pension examiner in
the service of the United States gov
ernment, is the writer of an article in
the March number of the North
American Review, which appears to-
day. in which he makes a suggestion
as to the method by which he thinks
the pension rolls of the nation might
be purged and the United States saved
millions of dollars every year. DR..
Gardner contends that IF the officials
selected by the people to seek out and
properly compensate men who were
disabled In the defense of the Union
mad exercised one-half the care that
the life insurance companies do in
avoiding bad risks, the pension rop
would present n very. different appea.
ance from what II does today"
DIR. Gardner's plan to purge the rolls
Is FOR congress to pass law requiring
the re-eXamination Of every pensioner
who bases his claim on disability in
Cured In the line of duty; appoint a
board OF examiners for each state. con-
sisting OF one physician and one sur
geon. selected solely on their merits in
their professions; give them salaries
OF $4,000 year and let every pension
er, as aforesaid, be examined by them,
and their report to be conclusive. 1t
would take year to do the work, cost
some millions Of dollars. but would re-
duce the pension rolls 80 per cent. by
proving one-third of those now draw
ing pensions to be frauds, the doctor
says.

1t has been asserted that Lincoln Nc
Geisey, the younger of the two, was
innocent, and all the evidence brought

roborate this assertion. 1t is now
learned that special agents of the gov

fishing a complete alibi for Sampson,

miles from the Laird home at the time
of the murder.
