Odd RuriaIs

Not long ago there died in north
London suburb lady who wished to
be buried i'll the bedstead in which she
had lain continuously for nearly a
quarter of century prior to her de-
cease, and to insure, as she thought,
her wishes being respected she left a
plump contingent legacy to a relative.
AS the bedstead in question, however,
was of the old -four post" variety, and
an unusually massive specimen at that,
the cemetery authorities objected.
Eventually q compromise was effected.
Ihe pedstead was taken to pieces, and
from the timber so obtained sort of
box coffin was constructed for the re-
ception of the remains.
1T is, however, among the mining
population that instances of funeral &c.
centricity are most common. Jack
] Hustler, a coal newer Of Tong, nea1
Leeds, who died the other day at the
! age of 81, was buried in d coffin CON
| structed to his own specification &c
years ago 1t was made of pitch pine
with silver handles, and the lid was
hinged at one end. The deceased was
| buried with lump of coal which he
had carefully preserved for years. II
served as his pillow, and his tobacco
! and pipe also found place beside him
| This latter custom is said to be very
| prevalent among the coal miners. The
| tin miners of Cornwall almost invari
ably include an umbrella among the
coffin furniture
1t would be interesting to learn the
origin and significance of this strange
use.-London Express.

Had Been There Before.

There is well known Irish citizen
of the town who came before judge a
short time ago to be naturaliZed. The
judge, who knows him well, quizzed
the would be citizen for some time and,
finding that he was smart enough to
become an adopted son of the land ia
thered by George Washington, swore
him to allegiance. After the papers
had been signed the judge turned to
the new citizen and said:
Now, Dennis, you can vote.'

1t is idle to talk about destroying
opposition to an army's progress by
the improved long range guns. The
enemy invaded would have the same
powerful armament, and the new guns
shoot one way as we'll as another. So
modern army must toll along by the
same painful processes as of old, and
the long range gun will tell against the
aggressor if anything. Men who march
rapidly and fight vigorously will need
more food and water than troops
standing still or taking the route east
ly. All these things equalize them
selves, and no invention can do away
with the wants of human nature. Ev-
cry great war and every tedious cam
paign of history has been the more
difficult because OF the natural difficult
ties encountered, and man has made
| little progress in overcoming the needs
of the inner man OF reducing nature to
a system. Storm and flood cannot be
controlled by either party to quarrel.
pestilence will strike the stronger ar
my as we'll as the weaker. And so
England has found that with all her
means and scientific devices, if the
foe has not matched her in men, natu-
raj Observation-Disclosures heat, drought
and disease-have been the allies of the
despised Beers. 1t is asserted that the
Beers have done all their work in
Natal and the Orange Free State with
not above 10000 men. AT the same
rate 10000 Beers might have driven
both Methuen and Butler and possibly
Roberts into the sea. At least they
would have them still fioundering
among the passes of Modder river and
the Tugela.

the old problems already pointed out
are not lessenea because gun shoots

A New Years Guide.

There is one book every one should make an effort to get, for the new year. It contains simple and valuable hints concerning health, many amusing an ecdotes, and much general information. We refer to Hostetter's Almanac, puo- lished by The Hostetter Co.,, Pittsburg, Pa. It will prove valuable to any household. Sixty employees are kept at work on this valuable book. The issue for 1901 will be over eight mill ions, printed in the English, German, French, Welsh, Norwegian, Swedish, Holland, Bohemian and Spanish languages. It contains proof of the efficacy of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the great remedy prepared by the pub fishers, and is worthy of careful pre- servation. The almanac may be ob- tained free of cost, at any druggist or general dealer in the country.
