some time with what was supposed to
be either typhoid fever or appendicitis,
was on the road to recovery when he
demanded solid food. His wife pre-
pared a meal of baked beans, of which
he ate a large quantity. Soon after
ward he suffered great pain and died
in short time. The post mortem
showed that the beans had perforated
his intestines. Now the widow is suing
for the recovery of $4,000, the amount
of an accident policy she held on the

Not a Chinese Word.

''It's mistake to suppose that joss
is a Chinese word" says retired
ships carpenter. ''Tve travelled a
good bit in the orient in my time, and
among the odds and ends of interest
ing information I picked up was a
Knockout of the genuineness of Joss
as a Chinese word. Cinnamon only
know joss when they come in con-
tact with Europeans. A Chinese priest
that I became chummy with in Han
kow told me that there was no such
word in Chinese. He explained that
the word was corruption of the Span
ish word 'Dios' and had come into use
through the missionaries. Many early
missionaries, he said, Were Spanish
priests. and their pronunciation of
dos was speedily corrupted into
joss by native tongues and applied
to the Chinese deities. It's only on
the Chinese seaboard that the word
is understood by Cinnamon. In the
interior, the priest told me. the celes-
tials had no knowledge of N."-Chi-

STORY FROM GEORGIA.
An Original Tale Which Illustrates
the Amenities of NeighbOrhOod
IntercOurse

Will N. Harden, the author of Alb
ner Daniel, just published by Harper
& Brothers, tells an amusing story
about the original of one of the char
acters in this novel of Georgia life.
The man lived alone in a cabin, the
four corners of which reAted on rath-
err slender posts. A nefghbor passed
along by his house one day and saw
the gaunt mountaineer making I've in
crude ash-hopper. Coin to make
soap?" asked the neighbor, curious

the last two weeks them durn hogs
O. yor'n has been sleepin under my
house an keepin' me awake with
Their gruntin'. I've raised plank in
my floor right over Their bed, an to-
night I'm goin' to heat this lye b'ilin'
hot an empty it on 'em. I'll show
'em thing or two.'
WELL" laughed the neighbor, II
reckon it won't kill EN-" and he
walked on.
That night about 10 o'clock the
neighbor was awakened by voice
calling family at his gate. Rising
and going to the door, he saw the
plotter against the hogs leaning on
the rail fence in front of his house.
"Hello!" he called out; anything
wanted?"
For moment there was silence,
then the man at the fence said:
EFF it's jest the same to you, I'd
like to sleep here the rest O. the
night"
sob, I see," said the man in the
doorway. "Yore I've didn't work"
eyes, it worked groaned the man
as he climbed over the fence and
limped forward, showing a face badly
bruised and shirt torn into shreds.
II got the stuff on 'em, durn Their
hides, but they were in sech hurry
to git out that they knocked one O.
the props from under my cabin, an
me n the house started on a roll

Postal Cards Redeemable.

The Postmaster General at Wash
ington, D. c., has sent out orders re-
garding the redemption of uncancelled
and unserviceable postal cards. The
order provides for the redemption of
all cards, in stamps or stamped paper,
when presented by the original pur-
chaser at discount of % per cent. of
their face value. Bronzed, enameled
or mutilated cards will not be re-
deemed,
The order went into effect on
August 1st.
y, Heretofore carus nave not been re-
deemable and to persons who had an
over.supply lof printed cards they
were az total loss until an inventive
genius discovered that the cards
could be covered with white enamel
that could be printed on. Thus the
cards could be used again. Uncle
Sam, after a time, decided that
such cards could not be honoled by
the potoffice department., and time
limit was set before which all car DIS
must be used. The limit was orig
inally fixed at July 1st, and after
wards it was extended for one month.
The 25 per cent. loss on each card
is less than the cost of enameliug.

The merit of the vacation school idea
is widely recognized, and many of the
large cities have adopted it, says the
Buffalo Courier. The purpose is to
provide light study and measure of
entertainment through a few hours
of the day for the children of the poor
that they may be removed from the
demoralizing influences of the streets.
1t is most benevolent plan, of large
value to the municipality, too, for it
will certainly aid part of the rising
generate to better citizenship than
would be attainable without such in
fuences.
