SEEM ALIVE THOUGH DEAD.
distances i'm Which Corpses Have Had
the SembIance of Life.

Live persons have feigned death with
marvellous exactness, but when the
dead feign life, or seem to feign life,
the spectacle is as grewsome as can
we'll be imagined. Not long ago a
Russian cemetery was the scene of as
weird wedding as ever has been wit
messed. A young girl who had been
bethrothed died on the eve Of her mar
riage and her friends decided that, in
spite of the intervening hand of DEATH
her marriage must take place; her we'd
ding ceremony was performed at the
side Of the grave, and after the mar
riage the body was returned to the
coffin and lowered to its long resting
place. 1t is less than year ago that
a valuable cup was won in a bicycle
race in Australia by a man who was
dead when he passed the winning post.
The race took place at an electric
light carnival" so-called, in the pres
ence Of 10000 spectators. IN the last
lap James Somerville, a rider, forged
to the front and secured such lead
that his victory was assured. When
within twenty-five yards Of the finish
he was seen to relax his hold on the
handle bar and lose his footing on the
pedals. He did not fall from the ma
chine, however, and amid frantic
cheers dashed by the goal, winning
the race by half a wheel. AS he passed
the finishing post he pitched forward
and fell to the ground. When he was
picked up he was found to be dead,
and what was more, the doctors de-
clared that death had come to him
when he was seen to lose his hold Of
the handle bars. 1t was a dead body
that had ridden the last twenty-five
yards of the race.
Since the plague has been preva-
lent in India searching parties go
through the villages inspecting the
houses with the idea of seeing that all
cases Of death by the plague are report
ed to the authorities. On entering a
suspected house one day the inspectors
saw a group of natives playing cards
Something in the appearance of one
of the players attracted the attention
of one of the inspectors, who placed
his hand upon the mans shoulder To
his amazement the man swayed and
fell to the floor. Upon examination
it was found that he had been dead
some time, but in order to avoid hav-
ing the house marked as plague strick-
en- the other inmates had concealed
the fact Of his death

made OF asbestos is another kind OF

it, however. for printing purposes, is
that although it will pass through fire

ONE DAY OF GLORY.
Child of Luxury satisfactory Satisfied
with Rag BABY.

with Rag BABY.
Poverty touches wealth closely and
in sharp contrast in Bryant Park, at
forty-second street and Sixth avenue,
a favorite playground for the children
of the Murray Hill section, as we'll as
for the lessfavored little ones from
the rundown flats hard by on either
side, says the New York Press.
One day last week a white-aproned
nurse wheeled a richly dressed little
girl into the park. Several expensive
toys were in the chud's carriage, and
she held a fine French doll, but she
was fretting and pouting. Not so.
however, the little tenement dweller,
whose face beamed as she ran along
hugging homemade doll-a rag affair
with a head made of muslin stuffed
with cotton, and with ferocious eyes of
ink and a great blot of mouth. "Pret-
ty baby" said the little lady from her
chariot as the poorer child stopped
and gazed at the exquisite wax doll.
Mother made her." replied the tene-
ment child with pride as she held the
rag doll up for inspection and then
clasped it fondly to her breast. The
wax doll lay neglected in the carriage
while disparity in worldly goods gave
way before a community of childish
interests. The frown left the face
of the spoiled child of luxury as she
took the rag baby On ride about the
park, the child of the tenements trip
ping gayly alongside the carriage. The
gift that a poverty-stricken mothers
love had contrived gave mornings
happiness to the child of wealth, as
we'll as to her own shabbily clad but
blithesome little daughter.

Robberies of English Relics.

OF all curious rObberies the stealing
Of wax figures of kings and heroes
from Westminster Abbey would seem
as remarkable as any. These august
effigies are, kept in certain part Of
the abbey and were once much more
numerous than they are now. At least
a dozen have disappeared mysteriOusly
and who stole them and how they got
away with them are still mysteries.
Among the effigies purloned was that
Of Nelson, which disappeared about
half century ago. There was such a
popular cutlery over this that new
one was made and set up, and it is
this new one which is now shown to
visitors. Another tantalizing robbery
has made poorer the Sloane Museum
in Iincon's Inn Fields. London. At
the death of Sir John Sloane he left
his money to the museum, which he
had founded Two cupboards were
found carefully locked and in Sir
Johns will it was directed that one
should be opened in 1887 and the other
in 1912 There money was to be found
for the enlargement of the museum.
When the first cupboard was opened 1t
was found empty and bore every evil
dence OF having been robbed. Will the
second cupboard be found also to have
been tempered with?

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER.
The Wife and Nother-in-Law OF Mr.
Charles Keys.

CLARISSA, Mimi, April -, (cpe-
cial.) family in this vicinity is
better known or more universally re-
spected, than Mr. Charles Keys, the
local School Teacher, and his estima-
BILE wife, and mOther-in-law. For a
long time. Mrs Keys has been in i'll
health. Recently, however, she has
found cure for her ailments in Dodd's
Kidney Pills.
Il cannot speak too highly Of
DOdd's Kidney Pills, or of what they
have done FOR me- said Mrs. Keys
My life was miserable, my back
always ached, also my head. 1 was
troubled with Neuralgia in the head
and face and suffered extreme pain,
but thanks to DOdd's Kidney Pills. all
those aches and pains have vanished
like the morning dew, and it now
seems that life is worth living l COLI
slider DOdd's Kidney Pills a God-send
to suffering humanity. They may
rightly be named the Elixir of Youth
While speaking of my own case
ceived. l might also add, that my
mother, who is now an old lady of
"A years and who lives with me, has
been troubled more or less, with aches
and pains, as is natural with one of
her advanced age. When she saw
what DOdd's Kidney Pills had done for
me, she commenced to use them her
self, and she says that they have done
her more good than any other medi-
cine she has ever tried.
This testimony is given in the
hope that others who may be af-
f1icted as we were, may see and read
it, and be benefited by it,
What Mrs. heys states in her letter
can be verified by reference to any of
her many friends in this neighbor-
hood Dodd's Kidney Pills have al
ready a wonderful reputation in Todd
County.
Nothing has ever cured Bright's
Disease, Diabetes or Dropsy but Dodd' s
Kidney Pills.

Fistlcuffs with "a Buffalo.

In Bullet and Shot in Indian For
est, Plain and HILL" Mr.. G. f. NJ. Rus
sell relates a thrilling adventure which
befell Colonel c., a member Of Lord
Roberts staff, while he was buffalo
hunting in India. The colonel had
wounded buffalo. Reloading as he
ran forward he was disconnected when
the animal charged at him from be-
hind a clump of bamboos. Colonel c.
interpOsed tree between himself and
the bull, who cut a piece out of the
bark with his horn as he rushed by
and then turned and went at the man
again with the same result. c. then
thought that he would try to reach
a larger tree. He started, but tripped
over a bamboo hidden in the grass.
and fell prone, upon which the bull
overlook and did his best to horn him.
The beast ripped the colonel's gar
ments, and at last, getting his horn
under him, tossed him several feet
and came and stood over him. Colo
mel c. now did most unwise thing.
He sat up and hit the buffalo in the
eyes with his fists, and kicked him on
the nose. Fortunately the bull left the
man and went off. The hunters
knuckles were terribly skinned, and
his gold ring was battered out of all
shape. This bull, luckily for the colo
mel, did not behave at all as one
would have expected. The battering
Of a mans feet and fists would only
enrage the ordinary buffalo, and insure
a terrible, If not fatal, punishment to
the man-Youths' Companion.

Tenant Swindled Children.

A man living in a tenement in Bat
tersea, London, told the children OF the
neighborhood that the penny-in-the-
slot gas meter was new and resplend-
ent bright red money box. specially de-
signed to accommodate the savings of
economical youngsters. On this as
sumption they cheerfully dropped their
copper savings into the slot, and the
ingenious deceiver burned the gas
which cost him nothing. When the
collector came and cleared away all the
pennies the chagrin of the children was
intense.

STRANGEST OF ALL FISH.
Denizen of the Deep That Angles for the
Food 1t DevOurs.

Most remarkable of strange fishes
is the angler fish, whose very name
seems a paradox. The fishing fish is
nevertheless a reality, and a stern one
to all that approach those awful jaws
Of his. With body the color of mud,
he generally lies in the shadow OF
some rock on the bottom of the sea,
waiting motionless for the approach
of his prey. He is provided with an
odd kind Of fin just over the mouth
and this is held out in front of him to
give warning of the coming of some
thing to be swallowed. One taken alive
was experimental on and it was found
that if this projecting fin was touched
with a stick, even though the stick did
not come near the mouth, the jaws
closed convulsively. This shows that
the fin, by some provision of nature
closes the jaws as soon as it is
touched. The mouth is tremendous
growing to the width of a foot, while
the whole fish is only three feet long.
One Of thees anglers was caught not
long since and, although it was only
twenty-five inches long, fish fifteen
inches long was found sticking in its
throat. The angler is provided with
peculiar set of teeth, in double or
treble rows along the jaws and at the
entrance of the throat. Some of these
teeth are foot long. He is not a
pretty fish to look at. but he attends
strictly to business and will swallow
anything that touches his warning fin
whether it be meant for food or not
All kinds of things have been found
in the stomach of anglers, from bits
Of lead and stone to fish almost as
large as the angler itself. This is
without doubt one of the most pecu-
liar and interesting fish in the whole
ocean.
