Medicine for a Broken wagon.

An amusing little story comes from
Natal Of a newly joined army doctor,
quite ignorant of the Kafir tongue,
who was confronted by a voluble ma
tive driver of a water cart. who con-
suited him as to the best manner of
repairing an accident which had hap
pened to it. The doctor put on his
most professional air. listened to the
mar gravely, and said: Eyes, he
looks out of sorts; a touch of indiges-
ton; a couple of pills is all he wants"
which were duly given to the Kafir.
Thereupon the native went away, and
found the sub-conductor of his COM
pany, to whom he showed them In
great triumph. but was only in some
doubt as to the best method of admin
istering them to the damaged vehicle
in order to effect its quicker repair

The Chinese Cuisine.

Though Chinese cuisine has been cred
tied with some utterly fabulous dishes
such as white mice served alive, which
add p~iquancy by their squeak as they
dive down the gu1let-curiosities in the
edible line do form a considerable list.
Bird's-nest soup, for instance, a clear
soup made from the refined gluten with
which a certain species of swallow fasten
their nests beneath the rocks; stewed
sea slugs"-another nasty-sounding
dish but transcending in favor the Al
dermanic green turtle fat. There may
be, too, on first introduction, some preju-
dice against fried grasshoppers. But
courage in this instance is rewarded by
d deliciously crisp brown mouthfu1, of a
delicate nutty favor. It is a fallacy to
suppose that pork forms a constant arti-
Gle of diet in China. AS a matter of fact,
it is too expensive, and is only eaten on
high days and holidays, Or at restau-
rants. Neither do milk, beef, or game

QUEENS COFFIN WAS TOO BIG.
CONSERVATION When 1t Would Not Fit in
the sarcophagus at Frogmore.

CONSERVATION when 1t Would Not Fit in
the sarcophagus at Frogmore.
The sudden intractability of the ar
tilery horses at Windsor station was
not the only hitch in connection with
the funeral of Queen Victoria. There
was another and even more awkward
one in the mausoleum at Frogmore.
The contretemps did not occur I'M
der the public eye, and was kept a pro-
found secret by the court officials and
the few Workmen who were cognizant
Of it, but in the neighborhood of Wind
sor it has now leaked out that theelate
Queens cofire was made too large for
the granite sarcoph&gus in which it
was intended to be placed. The mis-
take was discovered only on the usght
on which the remains arrived at Wind
sor Castle. The measurements then
taken showed that 80 s5Rhnf&as six
or eight inches higher than the re-
ceptacle in which the Prince Consort's
remains rested, and in which a space
was provided for the Queens body.
The discovery created CONSERVATION
among the court officials and employees
at Windsor. Orders were at once given
to make an attempt to despen the sar-
cophagus, and stone-heWers were oc-
cupied at this work in relays all night.
Not being accustomed to work in SO
hard a substance as granite, and the
space being exceedingly circumscribed
by the Prince Consort's coffin, little
progress was made. There was also
the danger of splitting the sides of the
sarcophagus. When the granite re-
ceptacle had been followed out to the
utmost extent that was considered
safe it was found that the top of the
Queens coffin would still be six inches
above the top, and that consequently
it would be impossible to close the sar-
cophagus.
In this emergency it was decided, as
a temporary expedient, to have slips OF
wood made, six inches deep, painted to
represent granite, and placed on the
upper edge of the casket. On these
temporary supports the massive gran
lite lid was laid. The plan of using the
wooden extensions and lowering the
lid On them was tried before the coffin
reached the mausoleum, and the ar
rangements were so well made and so
carefully carried out that those who
stood around the s~arcophagus at what
was supposed to be the final scene of
the closing of the casket were not
aware Of the hitch.
Since then, it is understood, heavy
mouldings of granite, from the same ,
quarry in Aberdeenshire from which
the stones for the sarcophagus were
hewn over 80 years ago, have been
ordered by the King. These additions
to the sarcophagus have been shaped
and polished and when completed they
will be fixed into the casket, which will
then be permanently sealed. 1t will
consequently stand six inches higher
than it did originally.-New York Sun.

SHOWS A DEAD c.DLD's FACE.
Or. Griffin Unable to Account For a Like.
ness Appearing in a Photog raph.

DR.. Lester B. Griffin, of Danbury,
Conn, recently took a snapshot photo
graph in which appears a phenomenon
SO curious as to lead some of those who
have seen it to wonder if the camera
caught a glimpse of the spirit world.
Appearing plainly in the background of
the picture is the face of a child, the
likeness, it is said, of a little girl who
died several years ago in the house in
which the picture was taken. All efforts
to account for the presence of the face
in the photograph have thus far proved
unavailing. DR.. Griffin is not a believer
in spiritualism.
DR.. Griffin went a few days ago to
the home of a friend to photograph a
handsome dog, the family pet. The pic
ture was taken in a large and well-lighted
room. When the negative came from
the developer the photographer found
that he had secured an excellent pic
ture of the dog, but was astonished to
see the face of a little girl, a strikingly
pretty face, standing out plainly, just
above and beyond the likeness of the
dog.
The plate was a new one, which had
been transferred directly from the orig
inal package to the doctors camera, and
there had been no possibility of its ex-
posture either before or after the snap
shot was taken. Returning to the house
where the picture was taken, DR.. Griffin
made a careful examination Of the room,
expecting to find somewhere the picture
of a child, which might have come with
in range of his camera, but nothing
of the kind was there.
Several people of the neighborhood
who saw the picture declared that the
face was that of a little girl who was a
member of the family that occupied the
house before the present tenants moved
in. She died there several years ago.
Her name is not recalled by those who
recognized the likeness in the PICTURE
