The widow Of a church beadle died
In village in the government Of
Penza, having expressed the desire that
her remains be put by those of her
husband. When the grave of the latter
was opened. the coffin was not found.
On investigation it was discovered that
the peasants Of the village had stolen
the body Of the dead beadle and sunk
1t In swamp There had been a
drought in that district last year. and
the peasants believed that If they sank
the body OF a righteous man in water
rain would come. This superstition Is
said to be prevalent among the com.

Theme Is known to most people as
the active principle Of tea or that sub
stance which cOnfers upon the cup Its
cheering and stimulating properties.
Caffeine Is the analogous principle OF
coffee, although this latter substance
also occurs In tea Some investiga-

shows that 1t Is In the skin or covering
of the leaves Of the plant In their
young state that the active principle Is
best developed. I have always been
given to understand that the young

they fetch a high price.

A Mor.trou. Tide.

The bay Of Fundy forms cul-de-sac
at which the Atlantic ocean seems to
have taken special spite and at regu-
lar intervals pours into 1t an enormous
amount Of water. Take the harbor Of
st. Johns as an illustration Of what
this mighty tide must be. In most
parts of the world tide Of ten feet Is
considered something abnormal but at
st. Johns it rises twenty to twenty
four feet In good weather. In stormy
weather the monotony is varied by the
high water mark being pushed up evea
ten or fifteen feet higher.

A remarkable story Of the vengeance
wrought by pigeons is told by a paper
at Zurich. writes a correspondent. Two
pigeons built a nest in a tree situated
In well stocked garden Of flowers and
vegetables and there raised a brood Of
which they were very proud. The other
day the old birds left the nest. and In
their absence some one captured the
young ones. On their return the female
was much upset at her loss. The male,
however. went and fetched about fifty
other pigeons. which actually devastat-
ed the garden, the vegetables and how-
ers being destroyed In wholesale quan-
