THE LIFE INSURANCE CURE.
4 Dying bachelor Who Became Inter- ested In Plan for B Novel Funeral

A Dying Bachelor Who Became Inter-
 ested Tn Plan for Novel Funeral.
 T don't know that life insurance is a cure for disease said the retired life insurance solicitor, but know of a1 instance which makes it look that way. In the town where I first began busi- ness was bachelor of about 50 years, who was quite alone in the world, and had some years before taken out a five thousand dollar policy on himself for the benefit of maiden sister, who had story. He kept his policy going, how ever, because it was good way to save money, and one day he was taken down with some kind of fever. He grew worse day after day, until one day the doctor told him that he would in all likelihood be dead within the next twenty-four hours This suggested his life insur- aace money, all he had to leave, and he immediately began to talk with the doctor on the subject Of a proper dis posal of it. He concluded after some thought that the best thing to do with it was to blow it in on a tremendous big funeral for himself, including banquet for all the people he knew. This was an entirely new idea for funeral, and when the doctor left him that night to the care of his nurse his mind was entirely occupied with his funeral He talked to the nurse about it and when the nurse made him stop lie lay and thought about it. In fact, he became so much interested in the details of his funeral that he quite for got about having to die to make it pos- sible. In the morning when the doctor came he found his patient in wild precipitation and his pulse beating in much better fashion than it had been doing for some days. He also found the general condition of the patient much improved. He was greatly estcnished, and at once began to ask questions. The patient told him with eage~ inter- est of a lot of new things he had thought of for the funeral and some that bothered him good deal and said be had been thinking of it all night. Then the doctor laughed and told him he guessed the funeral would have to be postponed, for he wasn't going to die, just then anyhow Nor did he. and he isn't dead yet, but he is married and has his policy paid up for his Wife'a benefit.

 SICILIAN BRIGANDs
Have Been Terrorizing the Islands Dur
 ing the Past Year.

Rome Correspondence of the Chi- cago Record: Public security is at low ebb in Sicily. Energetic mea, ures have been adopted to stamp out brig andage in the island, but unless thess are persisted in there are slight hopes of definitely wiping away this standing disgrace of Italy. 1 am glad to say that in the continental kingdom life and property are comparatively secure. Te1egrams from Catania announce that the brigand chiefs Santangelo and Destefano have been killed and their followers dispersed in an encounter with the carabiniers, but they will as semble again under some other blood thirsty villain. Santangelo was only q, and he entered on his lawless ca- reer in the mountains early in 1898, after having fired on q policeman who was trying to arrest one of his friends. h September of that year he murdered a field laborer who had refused his supplies He joined Destefano's band In the forests around Mount Etna. In January last the two descended to the smiling Piana di Gatania and entered a farm where several laborers were at work. They beckoned to one of them "a man named Puleo, who was said 10 be in relations with the police-and told the others to stand aside. Puleo came up and was foully murdered. In May, in an attempt to capture them. one carabinier was killed and another wounded The brigands Manzelea and Castiglione were surprised by the .po- lice in house at Castellamare. near Palermo They were wounded and ar rested after a severe conflict n the same district other freebooters seized the son of q well=to-do notary, took him up to the hills and obtained S4,000 for his ransom. The police, while in search of the scoundrels. came upon another band of marauders and sue ceeded in running fight in killing one of them and recovering much stolen property. The latest statistics give 27.9 murders per 100000 inhabitants in Sicily, while in Tuscany and upper Italy the average is about per 100000.

Jowett's Extingnfsher.

The late master of Balliol was Sc well known az a resoureeful antagonist that 1t is matter of wonder that any woman, however youthful and sure of herself, should have had the temerity to take liberties with him. The Hon. Lionel Follemache tells in the speeta- tor of a young woman who had the efflontery to say to him: T want to know, master, what you think of God. , I am more concerned to know what God thinks of me" was Jowett's feIc- tous reply.

AN ART TREASURE
Found in the House of Man Forced
 to Sell Ills Effects.

New York Correspondence of the Chicago Times Herald Through the financial mfsfortunes of an old New Yorker a famous art treasure, Ge- rome's "Consummatum Est" depicting .l.e es.le:sxton of Christ on Mount Cs.ts 7, has been discovered in this city. Art connoisseurs say 1t is worth from 525 GOO to $30,000. At any rate it means that it's owner, whose name is not divulged, instead of spending the coming Christmas in penury, as he had anticipated, is at least sure of enough to satisfy his present wants. It was when this old New Workers affairs had reached such a stage that something had to be done. and that right quickly, that he sent for Clar- enee Nj. Darling of 124 West Twenty. sixth street. Mr. Darling found him disconsolate in his home. He related his troubles and said that all he saw in store was to sell his furniture, tapes tries and bronzes, the remnant of a once magnificent collection. Mr. Dar- ling glanced around the rooms and saw at once that not much could be real ized, but as he was about to take his leave his eye suddenly caught a glimpse of what appeared to be dust | covered painting carelessly resting on the top of a wardrobe in a corner of the room. Whats that up there?" he asked, climbing on a chair and taking the painting down. The painting
 while dust covered and dim, upon in- sPeetion proved to be in good condition and none the worse for it's hard usage NIT. Darling had not examined the can vas long when he uttered an exclama- tion of astonishment, and declared that if it's genuineness could be au- thentically established it was easily to be valued at not less than S25 ,000 to $30.000. MT. Darling recognized in one corner of the canvas the name of J. L. Gerome, and subject as no other than the masters "Gonsummatum Est, ' Shadow of the Cross, or eruei- fiXion of Christ on Mount Calvary. .As 10 the genuineness of the painting. it's | owner recalled the fact that in his pos session was an autograph letter from Gerome, describing the painting and the circumstances under which 1t was painted

INDIAN MAalclANs NOT CLEVER
Their Tricks Are Old and Surpassed by
 Many Europeans.

Many Europeans
 From =Harper's Magazine: The In- dian eonjurers are not.yery clever. They offer no new tricks and no Won- derful ones. Their counterparts In China are many times more delft, au- da6ious and original. The tricks or causing a mango tree to grow in the presence of a crowd is the most vaunt- cd thing the Indians do, and that failed to see, though it is praetieed by many of these Yagabonds. Several per- sons who have witnessed it told us that it is worked beneath a cloth or sack and that it seems as if it might easily be done by drawing small young plant from the performers clothing and setting it up in the dirt under the covering. The so-caI1ed tree is usually but few inches-at the most foot-in height However. against the reports of such skeptics g.e must weigh the testimony of many famous travellers. x Nearly all the coniurers we saw were also snake 1harmers.

 Medmenham Abbey, Bucks, England, standing on ground which Danish tra- dition has made its own, and almost washed by the Thames, is in the mar ket, after being restored at cost of S10,000. Little real trace had re- mained of the old monastie house, founded by the Cistercians in 1900, and the picturesque remains were those of manor of the Dutfields, who held the property from the time of the dis solution till 1779. In the middle of that century a set of pseudo Fran eiseans" came into occupation of the abbey, an order whose rites and cere- monies would have mortified the old Cistercian tenants. Baeehie revelrv. deyil-worship and other practices were aseribed to the bloods of the days who forefathered at Medmenham, with Sir Francis Dashwood as their presiding genius. The story goes that one night. tn the midst Of the monks orgies, the party were overwhelmed with ter TOT at the apparition of huge ape. which had been lowered down thJ. chimney. For once, they thought the object of their attentions had appeared in person. and the meetings came to q sudden end. The notorious Wilkes was one of them.

rscape of the Newly Welded.

A newly married couple in New Brunswick, N. J., circumvented their mischievous friends by starting on their wedding journey by way of the roof. The friends, well supplied with rice and old slippers, stood at the foot of the stairs. The pair ascended to the roof, walked to the adjoining house, then down and through the rear door to back street, where they entered a waiting carriage and were driven to the railway station.

The Sea Elephant.

A paper recently read before the Lin mean society in London describes a species of seal, attaining enormous di- mensions, to which the name of sea- elephant has been given on account of trunklike appendage on the fore part of the head. A specimen killed in the Falkland islands was nearly nineteen feet in length. The trunk is only a foot long. These seals are peculiar to the southern hemisphere.

That Typhoid Germs Are Bred in 0ys-

 A scare was caused in England some years ago by the statement that oys. ters were active disseminators Of ty> phoid fever The consumption in l en- don of what are invariably referred to in the country papers as Luscious bi- valves" thereupon fell off 50 per cent. The eockney, alive to his opportuni- tieT refused to buy oysters for hls sweetheart, on the ground that they ~ere dangerous. As oysters are very expensive In Great Britain anyhow. people were easily convinced cf their Inwholesomeness. The reduction in consumption caused rapid fall in prices. It also injured the American exportation of Blue Points to England, Profs. Herdman and Boyce went to 'ive among oysters of Lancashire to find out if they are really so dangerous. They looked into the cause of the color Of green oysters. ."The green hue" they pict1resquely say in their report. lis equally familiar to the man who raises them for the market, to the one who raises them from their bed with a pair Of rakes, and also to him who raises them out of their own juices from the half shell by means of sil- yer triGent. This coloring has been attributed variously to metals. ycge~ table coloring matter, bile pigment and the pigment of dsatoms." The inves- tigations Of the learned oyster sharps, however, yield the fact that the green color is not always due to the same eanea 0ne variety Is caused by con per.
