In a little village churchyard at
Bickenhill, in Warwickshire, is a
tombstone upon which is inscribed the
age Of a dear old maiden lady who de-
parted this life in the year 1901. Her
age, as testified by the engraver's art.
was 7OS. Born before the Conquest
and dying under Queen Anne. Again
at Chave Priory, Worcestershire, the
age of crude forefather," is similarly
inscribed as 300. Not to harrow the
reader, we may say that these porten-
tous figures are strictly the product Of
the engraver's art. The monumental
mason of those days was nothing if
not ignorant and his idea of writing
IS or 80 was to write 70 or 80 first and
s or 9 afterward meaning 70 plus or
80 plus 8, etc., as the case might be.

patient strong. well. vigorous man.
DR.. HathaWay'S success i'll the treatment OF
VaricOcele and Structure without the aid OF knife
or cautery is phenomenal. The patient is treat
ed by this method at his own home without pain
or loss OF time from business. This is positively
the only treatment which cures without an Oper-
alton. DR.. Hathaway calls the particular atten-
ton of sufferers from VaricOcele and Structure to

A freakish rainstOrm was witnessed
one afternoon recently by Philadel-
phians. On the west side of Broad
street. between Vine and Spring Gar
den streets, people had their umbrel-
las up, while on the east side not a
drop of rain fell. The dividing line Of
the shower was the middle of the
street, the mark being as straight as
if made with a rule. Had it not been
for the city ordinance governing bicy-
Gle riders on Broad street, the unfor-
tunate "bikers'' who we're caught in
the rain could have crossed over and
ridden on the dry side. While they
had to take the wetting the pedes
TRANS who were without umbrellas
hurried over to where the rain fell
not.

wealth of President Kruger and the
large amounts of money that have
come into his hands and of other
members of his family. His salary is
$4,000 a year. He has been president
since 1882. With many of his people
he has had the good luck to own large
farms, we'll located, which in the past
few years have become very valuable,
says the Pretoria correspondent of the

mately secured what he is reputed to
be worth, especially by the economy

the country of the ShillOOks, he says,
acacia groves extend over an area of
a hundred square miles. From the at
lacks of insects which have worked
to the inside their ivory white shoots
are often swollen at their base with
clobular bladders measuring about an
inch in diameter. After the insect has
managed to glide out Of its circular
hole this shoot becomes sort Of mu-
steal instrument upon which the wind

Many people in denmark prefer
horsefiesh to beef. In Germany and
Austria business is brisk in horse
meat preparations, and is becoming
more so every year. England is still
reluctant about accepting the new ali,
ment and classes that kind of food
alongside snails and frogs. The first
horse butchers in Paris were only es-
tablished in 1866; that special trade is
now legally carried on, and is consid-
erably increasing, as demonstrated by
municipal statistics much so that
to-day over 5000 tons of horsefesh
are consumed annually in Paris, sold
by sixty licensed horse butchers, who
receive supplies from two special
"hippic" slaughter houses, both out
side the city proper.
