Sexton and Undertaken is the sign
usually found affixed to or near the
New York churches. but it does not
mean that the sexton actually con-
ducts an undertaker'S establishment.
He merely contracts for the funerals
of the members Of the congregation
ald subjects the work to what are
known as wholesale undertakerS. who
attend to this class of work exclusive

y twenty per cent. commission is
the sections share of the proceeds. and
taking into consideration the large
membership Of some of the New York

that take place almost daily. it can
readily be seen that to he !. sexton is

Even the Eternal City Not Free frSH
the Swindlers.
Most strangers who visit the Eternal
City have a desire to see the pope.
Taking advantage Of this fact, one or
two scoundrels have been reaping
rich harvest by means Of the conf
dence trick, thgir victims being, as a
rule, English or American ladies. The
"trickster' is to all appearances a gen.
tleman. He is young, handsome, we'll
dressed, and has fascinating manners.
Proceeding to the door of the Vat
lean, he has entered an empty omni
bus and then carefully watched the la
dies who have entered the vehicle.
After carefully studying them he has
approached the one whom he has Sc
lected as his victim, and the invaria-
bic success that has attended his eff
forts shows that he is no mean judge
Of character, says a writer in the Pail
Mall Gazette. With a great show Of
ponteness he has offered to put the

Suddenly bending toward the lady, he
says: BY the way, would you like

expressed her fcrvent desire to do so,
he whispers, even more confidentially:
We'll, ! think | can manage it for

"Oh, should be delighted!" comes the
response. "Of course there will be

much?' There are seats and seats,
and merely standing room. Anything
from 10 to 25 lire would suffice" The

her hand in her pocket and gives what

Many threw away their arms and boda

to kill a man in San Francisco, he
stopped. He brought the sword to his
side again, turned to the judges and
said: "The culprit is dead"
The newly-executed got to his feet
and said something to the Judge. The
Judge did not heed-fCr the culprit
was dead. He tried to speak to the
Cinnamon, who were hurrying from
the hall. But he spoke to deaf ears
To all intents and purposes he was a
dead man.
He made his way into the street and
the first thing that caught his eye was
huge poster pioclaiming to all China
evening No one would speak to him,
nc one look at him-he was a dead
man-just as dead as if the execution
er's sword had in reality descended.
For a whole week that man wander
ed about Chinatown, the posters pro-
claiming his execution staring him in
the face at every turn. Not crust OF
bread could he beg-not mouthful OF
water. His people knew him as dead
he was past, gone, buried.
And so one day he wandered up into
the American portion of San Francisco
and stole revolver from messenger
boy, who was showing it to some COM
panions. Then he ran down into Chi
natown, sat down on the pavement be-
| meath one of his own death notices and
| blew his brains out.

DANGER IN OYSTERS.
Epicure Should Beware OF Those That
Are Green.

The oyster has just been the subject
of an elaborate communication to the
British Royal Society by Prof. Herd
man and r. Boyce. They say that
they did not find the typhoid bacillus
in any oysters obtained from the sea
or market-that would only have hap
pened if they had got them (Which
was not their purpose) from tainted
spot. But for experiment they infect
ed clean oysters with germs, and the
two principal results were eminently
satisfactory. One was that, while the
typhoid bacilli could be detected in the
body of the infected oyster for ten
days, or even more, after introduction.
they showed no signs of increase, and
in the intestine actually perished. The
other showed that by washing infected
oysters in q stream of clean sea water
the typhoid bacilli, in from one to
seven days, uniformly and invariably
either greatly diminished or totally
disappeared. 1t is clear, therefore,
that the sea water is hostile to the
development of these nOXious germs
OF the green oysters, the investigators
say that some are perfectly wholesome,
while others are not. The reason is
simple one. The greenness in the
former case is due to the presence of
harmless vegetable pigment. There
may be also small quantity OF an
iron salt associated with it; but this
has 10 connection with the coloring
matter In the other kind of green
oysters the color is due to a deleteri-
Gus salt Of copper. The epicure, there
fore, will do we'll not to eat green
oysters unless he knows where they
come from.

up q little money for a rainy day.
That afternoon l placed a $40 note
carefully away, and the next day it
rained."
