Couldn't Resist.

An eccentric clergyman in Cornwall
had been much annoyed by the way
the members Of the congregation had

After enduring it for some time he
said on entering the reading desk one
day: Brethren, | regret to see that
your attention is called away from
your religious duties by your very
natural desire to see who comes in
behind you. l propose henceforth to
save you the trouble by naming each
person who may come late"
He then began, Dearly beloved"
but paused half way to interpolate,
''Mr. S., with his wife and daughter"
Mr.. S. looked rather surprised, but

Dead.

Last Wednesday morning Mrs. NJ.
L. Curd passed away after couple
of weeks sickness and her remains
were taken to Albion, Michigan,
after funeral services conducted at
the home by Rev. E. H. Votaw. Mrs.
Anna P. Curd was born at Clyde,
New York, June %, 1925. Thirty
years ago she was married to NJ. L.

time in Shelby and Audubon
counties. There are no children

Made Its own Funeral Toilet.

There are certain insects that have
such a respecg for Mrs. Grundy and
are endowed with such an innate love
of neatness and order that not even
death, or rather decapitation. can pre-
vent them from making one grand
final toilet. which is clearly designed
to give them a sedate and resi- ectable
appearance after death.
DR.. Balloon, a skilled entomologist,
discovered this remarkable fact. Dur
ing one of my recent horseback rides"
he says, 81 frequently caught one Of
those large flies which annoy cattle
and horses SO much. and l promptly
got rid of. it by crushing it's head.
One day. instead of throwing the mu-
tilated insect away, l placed it on the
back of my hand and indolently watch
ed it. For some seconds the insect re-
manned mOtionless, but then, to my
unbounded surprise, it moved it's front
legs forward to the place where the
head should have been, and, after it
had rubbed them nervously together,
apparently in anguish, it began to
brush it's body and to smooth its wings
with it's hind legs. Under the gentle
pressure of these limbs the body grad
ually became extended and the ex-
tremity curved. while the wings grad
ually changed their natural position
and left the upper part of the body
exposed. Meanwhile the hind legs
continued to brush each other from
time to time.
Naturally watched this extra
ordinary sight with great interest, and,
in order to see the finale, l took the
insect into my study, where it lived
an entire day, spending the time at
the ungrateful task of making it's own
funeral toilet

One Of the most curious finds ever
made from the sea was that which
came to the Azores in 1858. The is
land of Corvo was then in the possess
sion Of two runaway British sailors.
One morning there drifted ashore
craft which had evidently been frozen
in the ice for a long time. 1t was an
ancient and battered brig, without
masts. bulwark or name, but the
matches We're on. the cabin doors fast,
and the hulk was buoyant. She had lit
tie cargo. and that consisted of skins
and furs in prime condition.
No papers were found in the cabin,
but it was figured that she was a
sealer or trader, carrying a crew Of
10 or y. and that she had been pro-
visioned for year The -four was
spoiled. but the beef was perfectly
preserved She had been abandoned
when frozen in an iceberg and drifted
for years. The date of the letter found
in the forecastle showed that the brig
had been abandoned nearly half a
century before. The two sailors got
out the furs, which eventually brought
them $4,000. and two barrels of beef
and then set fire to the wreck. No trace
was ever found of its name or owners.

the fact that it employs thousand
men and horses, introduces nine
