A case bearing unusual features was that
in which two natives We're charged with
the kidnapping and murder of one Mari
ammo Cruz. Cruz was afflicted with a swell
ing on the back of his neck. which appears
to have created the impression among the
FflipinOs that he was witch. having the
power to make cocoanutS and eggs grow
in the human body by means of his occult
accomplishments, The two natives were
held as members of a band which carried
the suspected witch away from his home

stabbed him to death. and then threw his
body in the river. A military commission
sentenced the pair to be hanged. but. lin

How Coal Wa. First Named.

Curiously, the word coal was In use
long before as well as long after the
commencement of the coal trade, with
a meaning quite different from that
which 1t now has. The term originally
belonged to wood fuel and was applied
In particular to wood which had been
charred, or what Is now called char
coal
When the trade In mineral coal be-
gan, this was usually distinguished by
the singular name of sea coal. 1t
would seem that from having been
gathered In early times on the sea-
shore, more especially of Northumber-
land. along with seaweed and other
wreckage cast up by the waves, this
peculiar substance was supposed to be
of marine origin. From this circum-
stance and It's resemblance to wood
coal In color and burning properties 1t
obtained the name of sea coal, by
which 1t was SO long and so widely
known. Then In the course of time,
as the new fuel gained upon and SUI
perseded the old, the simple name of
coal became universally transferred
to It

or certain bishop, famous as about
the plainest man In England, the Liv-

One day as this homely parson sat
in an omnibus he was amazed by the
persistent staring of a fellow passen-
ger, who presently unburdened himself
as follows:
you're parson, amt you"
well yes; that is So"
Look ere parson, would you mind
comm home with me to see my wifeP
Imagining the wife was sick and
needing assistance, the clergyman at
great Inconvenience to himself went
with the man. On arriving at the
house the man shouted to his wife to
come downstairs, and, pointing to the
astonished parson, said, with a grin
of delight:

mornfn' as | wur the hugliest chap in
England. Now, just yer look at this

Immediately after a wedding which
took place in Washington the best man
started for South Africa, where he re-
mailed more than year. On his re-
turn, says writer in Harper's Mag

evening clothes for the first time since
the wedding.
In the midst of the evening, fun
bling in his waistcoat pocket, he as
tonshed himself and his friends by
pulling out II hundred dollar bill.
Where had it come from? a sudden
thought flashed across his mind.
The next morning he went to the
clergyman who had married his
friends.
DO you remember marrying Mr.. Ar
mitage and Miss Bently about year

Ethic. of HousehoId Service.

Relation between mistress and serv'
ant is discussed in sensible way by
the Boston Advertiser 1t is to the eff
feet that as the servants home is in
the house where she works the relation
between her and the mistress is more
close than that between clerks and
their employers or workers of any 9TH
er sort. For this reason there must be
more consideration than when The stu
alton can be called a purely business
arrangement.
Household service is business ar
rangement, and again it is not, and
those housekeepers who recognize the
twofold character of the situation are
the best calculated TO succeed in solv-
ing the domestic problem. In the bust
hess character OF the situation you
must demand prompt efficient labor
honesty and cleanliness; but. on the
other hand your laborer is member
Of your family. and you will not St
cure good results if you forget her
womanhood
There Is n great difference in PEG
Pies ideas of being kind. But n kindly
panner orders given MS requests, lit
tie attention to the bodily condition Of
the worker and a little friendly aid
vice on matters of dress or similar
things that concern her as "a woman,
.upplementng n clean and eomforta-
BILE room, IS certainly good type Of
kindness.

Milking 1t Plain,

A writer in the Lancet, says the Chi
cago Record Herald, generously sets
himself the task of giving out valuable
information as to the amount Of food
one should eat. He proceeds to make
the matter plain to the masses by say
ing:
IF you desire to know how much
you ought to eat per diem, you must
first determine whether you are tenn
peramentally anabolic or katobolic.
Then. taking into account your age,
sex, size, the amount of exercise you
get and the temperature of the atmos
phere, you should calculate the amount
Of food necessary to maintain the min
imum weight of the body consistent
with the best health of which you are
capable"

The Noye4 In Politics.

AT first sight it seems remarkable
that in the last sixty years we should
have had not more than twoscore nov
els concerned with American politics
and that of these not more than half a
dozen should have dealt with the poll,

who occupy public offices, control them
or create them-in q fashion to chal.
lenge serious attention, says the Book
man. The timid or trifing manner In
which the politician has often been ap.
preached suggests either complete ig-
norance of or Indifference to the ro-
mantle possibilities of his career. For
this neglect there is an explanation,
OF course, II not a good reason. In the
case of the professional politician-the
boss, ward worker, lobbyist or office
holder of the lower grade-the eXplana-
ton is conveyed as nearly as can be
by the word 'unloyeiness." The aver
age professional politician neither In
ideas, bearing nor appearance parades
such qualities as invite admiration.
