FIGHT HOLY SEPULCHER
[From the London Standard

From the London Standard
From Jerusalem came particulars OF
a serious quarrel which occurred be-
tween the F'ranciscans and the Greek
monks in the open courtyard of the
Church of the Holy Sepulcher:
Sixteen Franciscan friars and five
Greek monks or priests received bodily
injuries during the scuff1e-three of the
former, including the vicar of the Gus
todia di Terra Santa, being dangerously
wounded. The 16 friars belong to diff
ferent nationalities, and are composed
of five Italians, three Russian Poles,
two Germans, one Maltese, one Span
lard, one Austrian, one Frenchman (the
vicar), one American citizen, and one
Dutch.
THE dispute arose out of an attempt
made two days since. on the part of
the Latins, to sweep a portion of the
courtyard. or. triangle. just outside the
entrance of the sacred building in front
of the staircase leading to the Latin

A DOMESTIC DIFFICULTY.
The Solution Was Original, Though
 the Result Was Unhandy.

"Every time I tell this story" a bright society matron remarked, somebody accuses me of making 1t up, but 1t is true story nevertheless.
 up in the Virginia mountains David and I took long walk to explore the wild country road near our hotel. Away up on the rough mountain side was little cabin, and as I have most fervent human interest in the home life of all peoples remote from cities 1 proposed that we visit the cab in, with the wayfarers' usual preteXt, to ask for drink of water. In the one room of the small house were the usual furnishings, few chairs, many dogs lying about, guns on the wall, high bed in each corner and homely table spread with homely crockery In the center of the household picture. A plain little woman, worn and aged, but very neat in calico frock and ging- ham apron, met us at the door and asked us in, while one of the rough boys lounging on the porch was dis patched to the spring for fresh water.
 "Instead of the usual mountaineer's open fireplace, with iron crane and kettles, was surprising arrangement of cooking stove mounted on kitch. en table. My glance reverted to this curious sight so often that our noun tain hostess seemed constrained to ex- plain.
 "'You uns ain't used to seein' cook stoves fixed up that way, I reckon she said apologetically. Pap, he got the cook stove down in town way las May, and he didn' think bout the stovepipe, and he didn git huff to reach up to that there hole in the chimbly, so we uns jes' h'isted the cook stove up on that there table till he gifts time to go to town and git some more stovepipe. Faint handy to climb up on q cheer to cook, and I wish to the land pap'd hurry hisself and git to town arter that there stove pipe. It'd be heap handler to hey that there cook stove down on the groun'.'
 "Of course we uns' agreed with the good woman that her complaint was well based, but we praised her clever ness and originality In utilizing the kitchen table. Probably not one wo- man in 10,000,Co0 would have ever sug: gested that way out of the domestic ulty."-Detroit Free Press.

SOME CURIOUS FOODS.
The Things That Are Eaten by the
 Natives of Africa.

The lion is eaten by some African races, but its flesh is held in small es. teem. The Zulus find carron so much to their liking that. according to the late Bishop Colenso. they apply to food peo' pied by large colonies of larve the ex. pressive word 'uborni," signifying in their uncouth jargon great happiness" David Livingstone, that keen and accu. rate observer reminds us that the aborig- inal Australians and Hottentots prefer the intestines of animals "It is curious" he says. ''that this is the part which ami mals always begin with, and it is the first choice of our men,"
 On this point ] may remind the civi- !ized reader that the woodcock and the red mullet, or sea woodcock, are both eaten and relished without undergoing all the cleansing processes which most animals used for food among us gener- ally experience to fit them for the table, so that our aversion to the entrails of an. finals is not absolute, but only one of de- gree. The hippopotamus is favorite dish with some Africans when they can get this unwioldy and formidable river monster, and when young its flesh is good and palatable, but with advancing years 1t becomes coarse and unpleasant.
 The Abyssinians find the rhinoceros to their taste; so they do the elephant. which Is also eaten in Sumatra. pr. Livingstone describes the elephants foot as delicious, and his praises will be echoed by many travellers in lands where that sagacious monster still fingers in rapidly decreasing numbers. "We had the foot" wrote the doctor, cooked for breakfast next morn ing and found it delicious. It is q whtish mass, slightly gelatinous and sweet like marrow A long march to prevent bil- iousness is wise precaution after meal of elephants foot.
 Elephants tongue and trunk are also good, and after long simmering much resemble the hump of a buffalo and the tongue of an OK. but all the other meat is tough and from its peculiar flavor only to be eaten by q hungry man."-Weckly Bou1uet.

TO CURE CORNS.
A Few Remedies. Cheap and Simple.
 md Involving No Danger.

When the feet are pressed Into tight fitting shoes-hgh heels make the pressure greater-by adding friction we have Il needlelike point formed in the skin. and the greater the pressure the deeper the point will grow. The best preventive remedy known Is real. ly to go oarefcoted. but since this Is not considered ethical in civilized life l will give few simple remedies which may be of some value for the afflcted:
 First.-Place on the corn a piece of cold. moist linen folded several times, wrap it up in dry linen, then go to bed. With this treatment the hard epider- hours the outer covering of the corn can be removed with dull knife. When this treatment has been followed for three or four days, q small needle like growth dhe corn) can be extracted without pain CT bleeding. By washing the feet often in cold water the tender place will heal rapidly. After getting rid of this corn 1t is well to wear shoes which are neither too large nor too small so as to avoid excessive pressure or friction.
 Second.-In place of the linen crust of bread soaked in vinegar may be ap- piled.
 Third.-The best application is to soak whole onion twenty-four hours in vinegar, then apply one of the layers of the onion to the corn and keep it in place by bandage through the night. After repeating this procedure a few times the corn can be removed without any trouble. By either of these simple applications this troublesome agent can be removed without any danger of blood poison and free of charge."-St Louis Republic.

A Si1REWD CLIENT.
He Was Just n Little Bit Smarter
 Than His Lawyer.

Permit me to congratulate you," said a certain lawyer noted for his success in bankruptcy proceedings as well as for the big fees he charged, addressing one of his clients, q short, stout man with curly black hair.
 "What for?" inquired the anxious clI- ent.
 'Because your petition for your dis charge as bankrupt has been approved by the court and all of your debts have been wiped out-that is, all except One," replied the lawyer.
 "What one remains?" eagerly asked the client.
 ''The only debt that remains, the orly one that you can still be compelled to pay, is the remainder of my fee for hay. ing you made q bankrupt. It's only Q trife of $500," said the lawyer, with a smile. "You know that your discharge as a bankrupt only relieved you of those debts which were included in your sched' ule of liabilities"
 'Haye the dischasge papers been sign ed and am I really poor, unfortunate, disgraced bankrupt!' asked the client as he caressed his nose with his right hand
 "You are bankrupt" responded the lawyer, 'and cannot be compelled to pay any of the debts except my little fee."
 And l must pay another $500 to you for having mo made miserable bank. rupt?" inquired the stout man, with some show of emotion.
 "That's about the way the case nov stands" impatiently replied the lawyer.
 "You may recollect," remarked the new bankrupt, that 1 asked you to leave a little room on the end of the paper CD which you wrote the name of my credit ors, so that I could add to the list any others that might happen to think of."
 "Yes. yes, 1 remember that incident" retorted the lawyer, but it is too late to make any additions to that list now"
 q don't want to change it. Every ono of my creditors will jud his name and the exact amount of his claim on that list. Every one is there "
 "Then pay me my $500 and let us close .his transaction" exclaimed the weary lawyer.
 "We will," remarked the bankrupt as he slipped on the little finger of his fat hand diamond ring, "but let me explain pyself. After you filed the list of my creditors with the other law papers ]! went back to the court and just added your name to the schedule of my debts. If you will look at the list, you will find that the court has discharged me iron, my $500 indebtedness to you, Lawyer Highprice."
 Before the lawyer had recovered from the shock the newly discharged bankrupt pulled from one of his pockets huge dia- mond horseshoe pin. fastened it in his neck scarf and left the lawyers office New York Sun.

 Nobody ever outlived Rheumatism; the disease never loosens its grip or leaves of its own accord, but must be driven out by intelligent and persist ent treatment through the blood, for Rheumatism of every variety and form is caused by an over acid condition of the blood, and the deposit in muscles, joints and nerves of corrosive poisons and gritty particles, and it is these irritating substances that produce the inflammation, swelling and pains, which last as long as the blood remains in this sour and acid state.
