One of the interesting sights to be
seen along the Chester (Pa.) pike is
the ruin of old Plummers meeting
house, near Crum Lynne station, on
the Pennsylvania railroad.
Half century ago the edifice was
prominent meeting place for the
followers of Frederick Plummer, who
eXerted a wonderful influence among
the countryfolk for miles around.
The lettering old vineclad wall is
the last vestige of this denomination,
which began to lose its strength after
the death Of Plummer, who was the
elder pastor of a Free Christian
church in Philadelphia.
In the rear of the ruins is an UNI
used cemetery. The only living heir
to the ground occupied by the ruins
and the cemetery is Franklin Parsons

THE ORIGIN OF FAIRIES.
Many Legends Connected With Their
Existence.


The fairies are considered by arch
biologists as the heirs and descendants
of the inferior pagan divinities, good
and evil. The demi-gods and demons
were reduced to this condition when
heathenism was outwardly brought
to an end. However, the popular be-
lief is that the fairies were those
angels who, at Lucifer's revolt, did
not openly join him, but felt a kind of
sympathy with his wicked aspirations.
When the rebel angels were precipi-
tatsd into hell these cowardly spirits
fell no farther than the earth,
on which they are to remain
till the day of judgment, UNI
certain during the whole time
whether they are to be pardoned
or condemned. The Irish fairies are
the spirits of the Daanan Druid chiefs,
who after their death took possession
of the chief subterranean caves
throughout the kingdom, and con
tinued, according to their good or evil
dispositions. to succor or lnjure the
descendants of the Milesians, by
whom they had been dispossessed.

The Journal of the American Medi.

as complete. The highest number so

The great majority of tetanus cases

WAYS OF FOREIGN NoBLEMEN.
Systematically Invade the American
Heiress Market.

Heiress Market.
The story of the Austrian Count
Monnich, who is being sued by a syn
1icate of money lenders to recover
money advanced to him to enable
him to marry a fortune, should, but
probably will not, open the eyes of
rich Americans whose daughters are
wooed by foreign noblemen.
1t does not seem to be denied that
The loan was made for the distinct
purpose of matrimonial speculation;
the defense is that the money was
borrowed to enable the count to mar
ry a certain lady, whereas that lady,
not being an American heiress, re-
fused him and he had to look else
where.
The point is that he deliberately
set out to marry a fortune, and, hay
ing failed in Europe, turned his at
tention to the United States, where
he succeeded.
There is no particular occasion for
regret or sympathy on either side,
The count won a fortune with his
bride; the lady bought title with
her husband both got what they
wanted.
But such proceedings are disgrace
full from the American point of view,
yhich contemplates love as an essen
tial element of marriage. They are
an oflense to the American sense of
honor, and all true Americans are
ashamed of them-Philadelphia In

Force of Habit.

The force of habit was very forcibly
illustrated by an incident recently at
the pumping station of the water
works at Enid. A tank standing Just
outside the building is kept full of
water for the accommodation Of
passersby and the neighborhood
stock. A COW accustomed to drink at
this tank came for her morning drink.
The valley was covered with water
and stood within two or three inches
of the top Of the tank, but the COW
went over the waste of waters to the
tank. Twice she stuck in the mud and
appeared to be in danger of drowning
but by perseverance she finally reach
ed the objective point. After drinking
long and copiously she turned about
and slowly made her way to land, ap.
parently satisfied that she had done
the only available thing to find water.
