SWEDEN.

In warehouse at Soderhamn the
rats started fire by gnawing their
way through a lot of lucifer matches
which were piled up in. boxes along

closed up the rathole all around,
thereby excluding the air, the sui.
phur fumes quenched the fire almost
as soon as it was started.

the government for permission to
bore for coal over an area of about

the operations annually for the first

BURIAL CONTROVERSY
An Affair Of a Hogs Heart Involves
q Community in Discussion.
Animal Killed 1t Chrisman, III,
Found to Have Extra organ
Which Experts Find 1t
Hard to Identify.

Did the 'sChrisman hog" have a dou-
bic heart or double liver? This ques-
ton is puzzling physicians, provoking
c,orner-grocery disputes and lifting
loose floods of oratory in the debating
societies of that section of Edgar coun-
ty, III.
At any rate, the particular swine in
question was perhaps one Of the most
peculiar that ever grew to full-grown
hoghood. When it was butchered the
other day it weighed almost 400
pounds, and had been healthy hog
throughout its life. A local sage says
that the two curls in it's tail showed
it had never been sick a single day.
When the hog was butchered and a
long bladed knife had opened up it's
thorax, it had, to all appearances, two
well-developed. hearts, one on each
side. The extra organ was located
about four inches to the right of the
one considered essential. The discov-
erer thought his find worthy of scien-
tific study, and sent forthwith for ply
sicians. -. =" e.. II:
tits heart, all Ri ht," said one.
cts liver, that's what it u.s." said
announcer. ~ =" j: IL. &, 80 =
Other physicians heard of the mon
strosity and came to see it. The sci
entific gentlemen differ in their opin-
ions as to what the strange growth
was, but one who came all the way
from the county seat to explode the
theory that it was reserve heart, said
'sThis was strange hog, but not SO
strange as to need two hearts. This
growth is a second liver. It is a liver,
even if it grew to the right lung. The
gall bladder was not in its usual place,
but grew upon this secondary liver.
The strange organ performed the func-
tions of a liver, and not single func-
ton of a heart"
But this conclusion does not satisfy
most people here. There hasn't been
so much excit ement over anything
here since the last presidential cleo
ton, and the superfuous organ may be
sent to some noted scientists in order
that all doubt may be set at rest.

BROWNING's VOICE.
Record Placed on PhOnOgraph Cylfn.
der Carefully Preserved in
British Museum.

The news that Andrew Carnegie has
provided funds for the collection of
photographic records of American In
dams voices has recalled the fact that
the words and tones of Browning have
been preserved. In the British muse
UNI, carefully treasured, is a cylinder
into which he spoke some time before
his death.
Some ten or a dozen years ago there
was a gathering of notables at the
Chelsea residence of the late Rev. Haw-
els, to hear the instrument give back
the voice of the dead poet.
1t was quite an affecting little cere-
mony, and when the great singers
words had been heard and reheard the
cylinder was carefully packed up and
sent to the nations storehouse of
treasures.
Plan to Honor Beecher's Memory.
In connection with the plan to re-
move Henry Ward Beecher's body to
Plymouth church, in Brooklyn, and
erect memorial EN- building adjoining
the church. it has been suggested that
the entire half block to the west of
the church be purchased, RACED Of it's
buildings, and converted into a breath
ing place for the poor along the water
front, under the name of Beecher Park.
It is thought that the property could
be secured for about 500, 900, and the
idea is receiving serious consideration,
although it is entirely apart from the
original plans, for which fund Of
$150,0O0 is now being raised

partly appease his hunger, and then
went out and laid down in the shade

right but it was plain that he was moi
one of them. The recollection Of
his fiapjacks of the day before made
him shudder. He could not depend
upon always being fed by the train

him to do and that was to vanish as

dwels on the dietetic advantages Of
coffee. Those whose digestion is dis

of its drawbacks. Coffee, unlike alec
