An old darky who lives in the thick
cts across the river came to Memphis
one day to get his pension check cash
ed. After receiving his money, which
amounted to $11, the old ex-slave saun-
tered down Front street to a produce
house and bought three crates of cab
bages. When they were delivered at
the wharf late that afternoon, the old
man was there and received them with
a mouth watering in anticipation of the
good time ahead.
'Whut yer gwine ter do wild dem cab
bages?" inquired the negro drayman
who delivered them.

Sam RawsOn occasionally said good

ed to be the town meeting. The peo-
pie of Sans village could not under
stand how the money appropriated for
the roads had vanished with such poor
results.
A stretch of road running past Sans

had paid literally to have it put in
good order, and there was general in
terest when Sam rose to make his state

wbnt is 81 .Lich Gate ?"

A Itch gate is a shed, generally of oak,
over the entrance of a churchyard, be-
meath which the bearers paused when
bringing body for interment.
Here the clergyman met the body
and read the Introductory part of the
burial service as he preceded the funer-
al train into the church. Examples of
old Itch gates are still to be seen in
many country churchyards. In Wales
they are more modern and are usually
built of stone.
Some of the old Itch gates are formed
with one wide door turning on a cen
traI pivot and self closing by means OF
a rude pulley wheel in the roof and a
stone weight inclosed in an iron frame
a primitive but effective piece of ma
chinery.
In HerefOrdshire they are also called
"scallage," or "scallenge gates" 'Licl
gate" Is derived from the Anglo-SaxoI
lich, a corpse; hence the north country
'lyke wake."-LOndOn Answers.

SNAKE, EGGS AND A JUG.
A MOccasin's Appetite and Lack of
Sense Led to His Death.

A MOccasin's Appetite and Lack of
Sense Led to His Death.
A party of Jacksonville mechanics
were at work on the MatanZas river
raising a sunken dredgeboat. They
lived on board of the big lighter on
which they worked in a small house
on the deck. One noon their bill of
fare was somewhat strengthened by
some wild turkey eggs which had been
found by some Of the party while hunt
ing on shore. After the hungry en-
glneers had destroyed Il heavy dinner
they left their dining room and return
ed to work. The doors and windows
were all open, and the cook did not
clear off the table for some time.
In this interval a large water moe
casin of near six feet crawled on board
the lighter and wriggled into the din
ing room through the open door. In
his prospecting tour he climbed the
table leg. and here, with a snakes
fOndnesS for eggs, he went in for
feast. One of the turkey eggs lay
alone by Il plate, and the rest were in
a
In the center stood a large water jug,
and right here the willy serpent slipped
up. After swallowing the lonesome
egg, he started for the main supper
and in his artless manner crawled
through the handle of the jug. 1t was
a rather tight fit, and he had to stop
about half way through on account of
the egg, which enlarged him some
what. So, stretching forward, he bolt
ed another egg and thereby fastened
himself.
On each side of the jug handle was
an egg on his inside, and he could
move neither backward nor forward,
practically riveted in position. He was
soon found in this peculiar situation
by the cook. who speedily killed him.
The reporter was shown the skin of
the snake with a crease still in the
middle from the tremendous pressure
and he was also permitted to gaze on
the jug whose handle proved so fatal

A Photographic plate exposed to the
heavens in large telescope for any
considerable length Of time shows
nothing but continuous blur of light,
indicating that the Photographic eye
sees beyond the reach of human vision
such multitude of suns that every
part of space is filled. One may gain
some inkling of the immensity of space
by suppOsing the Photographic plate
exposed upon the remotest star it now

find the heavens still crowded with

SOUTHERN MoUNTAINEERS.
The Part They Played In the War
BetNVe cen the STATES.

1t is odd to think that the southern
mountaineer was not discovered until
the outbreak of the civil war, although
he was nearly century old then, and
it is really startling to realize that
when one speaks of the southern noun
taineers he speaks of nearly 100000
people who live in eight southern
Virginia and Alabama and the
southern states between-and occupy
a region equal in area to the combined
areas of Ohio and Pennsylvania, as
big. say, as the German empire, and
richer, perhaps. in timber and mineral
deposits than any other region of SIM
liar extent in the world. This region
was and is an unknown land. 1t has
been aptly called Appalachian Ameri-
ca, and the work of discovery is yet
going on.

Who can define lover Not the little child
Who lifts his soft eyes from his mothers knee,
Fulfilled with innocent tranquility,
Nor that poor knight who went where Venus
smiled
And strove, by after suffering beguiled,
To sing the meaning of its mystery;
Nor can he tell whom love hath crowned or he
From very pain of love undone made wild
Not the wan who at the white Christ's feet
Offers the world as one poor sacrifice
Nor the sad tide that follows where the sweet,
Swift moon allures it from the circling skies.
Nay, not from time joy or suffering
Ia knowledge brought that we may know this
thing.
