The Doctor. D,..xreed.

Some Vienna vans were lately con-
fronted with a language difficulty. Ac-
cordlng to the Independence Beige. a
young girl. unknown. was found un-
conscious in street at l'resburg and
WAS conveyed To the hospital at Wen
na, where she recovered consciousness
and began to speak In language
which no one present could under
stand. The doctors came to the con-
tlusion that the young woman was "A
Iiative of an eastern country.
Consequently some professors from
the oriental school were called In. and
they were all agreed that the girl did
not speak correct language. but n
dialect. The professor Of Persian held
That she spoke Il Persian dialect and
thnt he understood 1t. Another pro-
fcssor was Of opinion that 1t was an
Abyssinian dialect A third WAS con-
vinced that II was Turkish patois.
Since the savans were not agreed the
police deemed 1t necessary to make in
quiries. with the result that the stran-
ger was proved to be n Hungarian who
had escaped from prison and who
did not understand II word Of Persian,
Abyssinian or Turkish.-London Globe.

w.-.-d hy rho.- Ano.. to D,-.

Camille Flammarion. In French pc
riotIical. asked people to answer the
following question: Have you ever had
while awake the impression OF having
seen human being and had that i'm
preston coincide with the time OF the
death OF that person. The astrono-
mer tells the result of his investigation
In the Nouvclle Revue.
He had 1850 responses, OF which
2.456 were negative and 1874 afilrma
tive. or the affirmative replies he ex-
amined 1S2. who recited l.I20 cases. all
Of which he regards rs authentic. In
his article NJ. FlammnriOn merely gives
the experience OF the subjects ms re-
lated to him and does not attempt to
account for the premonitions.
1t might lie said. however. that the
fact that 40 per cent OF those who
wrote to him had had telepathic ex-
pcriences does not Indicate such an
average among the human family. The
three periodicals whose readers lie ask
ed for information have n large circu
lation. and ii is safe to say that every
reader who has had premonitions OF
the death OF n friend wrote to Flam-
marion. while the others would not re-
gard II as worth while.

TURNED THE TABLES.
The surpri.~ Wa. For She Who Had
Planned TO surprine.

That surprises do not always SUR
prise those for whom they are intended
is one of the peculiar things about sur
prises, and this fact was well Illus
trated one day this week in an east end
house. The lady OF the house received
word from a friend that she was com
ing out the next day for lunch. Now.
II happened that the uext day was the
day on which the servant girl had her
day OF. and the lady of the house made
up her mind that she would surprise
her friend by getting UP nice lunch
prepared by herself. for she had the
reputation when they were young Ia
dies of not being able to cook. while
her friend had the reputation OF being
an excellent cook.
The day her friend was expected the
lady Went to market and laid IN sup.
ply of all the good things which go TO
make up Z line lunch. She went home
and lighted the tire and prepared for
the cooking. Just then she discovered
that she had forgotten 10 get some
fruit and told her young daughter to
tell her friend when the latter came
that she would be back in q few mo-
ments She went to the store and.
meeting some of her friends. staid quite
awhile. forgetting how time was flying.
In the meantime the friend arrived.
and. being told that her hostess would
soon be home. she went into the kitch-
en-. and. seeing the good things there.
she went to work and cooked and pre-
pared the lunch. When the lady OF the
house arrived home. she was astonish-
ed to see the table set and n most ap-
petizing lunch on the table. The sur
prise she bnh intended for he- friend
was surprise for her - Pittsburg

Raising Le.che..

Leech farmers go about their bust
ness In an interesting way. Having
fenced and watered n suitable meadow,
they proceed to SOW II with leeches by
scattering them broadcast on the land
from sacks containing 1900 leeches
each. All that is now necessary is to
provide for the crop plenty Of water
and plenty OF blood. The usual meth
cd Of providing the latter is to drive
old horses and cattle into the Inclosure.

BAKE THEMSELVES ALIVE.
Russian Fanatics Thus Obtain Re-
Icnsc From Trouble.

Baking themselves in huge roaring
ovens is the climax of emotional en-
thusasm and self sacrifice of n
strange sect of Russians. They are the
Begonny, and they live in the village
OF Ternowo. near Tiraspol.
The scct's origin was rather political
snd economical than religious. their
agitations having always been direct
ed toward greater personal liberty and
political power for individual members
Of society.
They demand the abolition OF docu-
mcnts for proving identity and also the
abolition of the necessity for the pass
port. They repudiate compulsory mill
tary service. and If forced to bear arms
they are liable to emotional enthusi-
assn. leading To self sacrifice The
form OF death which they adopt is usu-
ally bufiaI while alive. but occasional
ly 1t Is self destruction by fire.
When the last great sacrifice of the
sect was made. the people adopted the
voluntary cremation method as n
means Of getting an eternal releasa ;
from their troubles. On q single day
four families went out from village
and did themselves TO death. A huge
oven was built. and into 1t those who
voluntarily decided to die plunged
themselves.
The people who lacked the necessary
enthusiasm or strength OF mind or who
felt that they were not worthy OF at
tempting the great achievement knelt
and prayed while they wept for. their
relatives and friends. whose charred
bones they kissed In au ecstasy OF af
lection and admiration.

The audience was greatly amused
at this, and the lecturer saw that he

Purnell, of Frostburg, as member of

as a favorable omen for State Normal

fled for the position, under ordinary
circumstances no one expected the
honor of place on that board to come
to this county. 1t is a compliment,
therefore, to the county, FroStburg
and himself. Beyond this, however,
it augurs well for gubernatoral sym

was not aware his name had been rec
