A MiraculouA Vault.

The most interesting place Of pill
griruage in Dublin is st. Michans
church. where the organ is still to be
seen upon which Handel is said to have
composed his messiah" In the grave
yard is the last resting place OF Robert
Emmett, and the vault ut st. Michans
provides more grewsome thrill than
he morgue. The sexton lifts an iron
deer and descends few rude steps,
CARRYING q light, without which the
place would be pitch dark. You follow
and find yourself in a narrow passage,
from which cell-like recesses belonging
to different families branch Off. Wheth-
er it is owing to the extreme dryness
of the surroundings or to some mysteri-
Gus property of the place the process OF
decay has been arrested, and the fea-
lures of persons dead for two centuries
NAV be recognized from authentic por-
traits. Here lie the brothers Sheares,
who were executed for their share in
the united Irish conspiracy, side by
side almost with the Earl of Leitrim,
who was murdered about thirty years
ago. The earl's ancestors for hundreds
of years back rest in the same vault.
Perhaps the strangest thing about the
vault is the fact that, apart from the
weird sensation, there is nothing Of
fensive in the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

NapoIeon's Magic Table.

Napoleon's magic table Is one OF the
greatest curiosities from the time OF
the great emperor, who had 1t IN bis
study at the castle of st. Cloud. After
the death Of Napoleon 1t was bought in
London by Baron Rehausen, Swedish
ambassador to the court OF st. James
at that time. 1t is now owned through
inheritance by one of the foremost
families OF the Swedish nobility. In
side the drawer of the table is pasted
an old slip, on which is printed de-
scription which in modernized English
reads as follows:
1.-THE Emperor Napoleon was highly
delighted with this extraordinary work
of art. 1t formed the surface of one OF
the tables in his study and was always
shown to all foreigners of distinction
who visited the imperial court. 1t is a
painting whose resemblance to what II
represents Is the most elusive ever pro-
duced by the genius Of man. One may
look at this strange production OF art III
different lights-the pieces Of money,
the fragments Of broken glass, the pen
knife. water and cards retain an equal
ly Elusive appearance as the observer
moves round the table-but 1t requires
a very minute examination to discover
all the truly magical wonders 1t pos
seSsps"

Hirh Time For Change.

A story is told of an old New Hamp-
shire family which may or may not be
strictly true. but which passes for
truth among the inhabitants Of the
place where it originated.
A man who had struggled through
boyhood under the name Of Zephaniahl
Smith married young woman whose
incautious parents had christened her
pamela Jane" When their first child,
q girl. was born. they announced their
intention of giving her number, which
she might change for any name she
chose when she reached years of dis
erection.
They were blessed with seven chill
dren and pursued the same course with
each child. Numbers two, four, five
and seven were boys and lived on in
tile town where they were born, never
seeing any need to select Christian
names to the day Of their death.
But when "Three" Smith became en-
gagged to young man by the name OF
Hills she considered it desirable to
change her number to Susan"
Shortly after that "Six" was united
to young Foote, who promptly named
her Lucy"
Zone" chung to her name and single
blessedness until middle life, when,
having relented sufficiently to accept
an offer of marriage from Thomas
Hogg, she saw the ACCESSIBILITY of be-
coming MARY" with some haste.

How Men Fall When shot.

Nearly every one is familiar with the
traditional stage fall, where the victim
of a supposed death shot strikes an at
titude, clasps his hand to his heart
stiffens every joint and muscle
breathes Historically and goes down
like a log toppled over from the END.
Another popular yet erroneous notion
is that men shot through the vitais
leap into the air and go down in dra-
matte attitude. Sometimes men are
found on the field in striking positions
but often an examination shows that
the position was taken after the fall.
AS rule man who is hit above the
hips sinks down. The slighter the
wound the more commotion, for the
body instinctively resists. just as IL
does when one slips or is pushed or col
lides with some object. But wound
in vital spot weakens the resistance
and men sink ut once or reel and tum-
BILE with very little self control.

The Origin of women's Hats.

The fashion of hats is not q very old
one, for one can scarcely call hats GER
tain headdresses which ladies wore In
the middle ages, such as bonnets in the
shape of hearts, enriched with pearls
and precious stones, which were in
fashion in the fourteenth century, or
those enormous pointed headdresses in
the form Of sugar loaf, which were
called the "hennin," which succeeded.
Later, until the end Of the sixteenth
century, little caps of stuff We're worn,
and then forward ladies discarded caps
Of any kind until the end of the eight
zenith century. 1t was only little be-
fore the period Of the Revolution that
the great reform which replaced the
headdress by hats for town wear and
walking dress was effected.
The Journal des Modes de Paris Of
1875 contains the following advertise
ments:
At Mile Fredin's, modiste. at the sign
of the Golden Scarf, Rue de la Ferron-
merle, will be found hats on which Is rep
resented vessel fully rugged and Its guns
ready for action. This is called the cha
peau Amiral."
At Nine. Quentin's. Rue de Clery. may
be seen a puff hat with military trophies.
The standards and kettledrums on the
front give a very pleasing effect.
1t was at that period that straw hats
imported from Italy began to come into
fashion.

WRITINa IhE SERMON.

Friday In the Minister'S Day For
Performing This Task.
Probably few of the good people who
listen with rapt attention to the ser
mon which is preached to them each
Sunday, says the Denver Post, know
that for nearly 300 years Friday has
been the time honored day for the pas
tor to 60 into his study, write the ser
mon which is to furnish food for
thought" to the congregation on the
following Sunday. In speaking OF this
custom a clergyman says:
when Christianity was first promul-
gated, all preaching was done extern
poraneously. Such thing as prepar-
ing a sermon was unknown. Many
gifted men expressed their views on
various subjects, then added a few
words of good advice to their listeners.
This practice is still continued in the
Roman Catholic church Of the present
day, and I think that very limited
number of the priests ever write a ser
mon. Not all ministers, however, ad-
here to this rule by any means. When
Henry Ward Beecher was asked on
what day he prepared his sermon, he
replied, ON Sunday morning, Of
course
"'Well, Mr.. Beecher, don't you think
that is a rather dilatory habit for you
to get intoT asked another.
"'Oh. no. not at ALL replied Mr..
Beecher in his quick way. You see,
look at sermon like some do on pam
cake. They can be served hot or cold,
and like mine hot; that's ALL"

Tennyson's famous poem, Crossing
the Bar" was written. says the present
Lord Tennyson, in the poets eighty
first year, ION Il day in October when
we came from Aldworth to Earring
ford. Before reaching Farringford ne
had had the moaning of the bar in his
mind, and after dinner he showed me
the poem written out" That is the
crown of your life's work" said his
son, who was the first man after the
poet to read Crossing the Bar ana
who passed the first criticism upon 1t

pr,,-,e Chicken Saved Him.

It is related that when Colonel David
Bremner Henderson was lieutenant
in the Twelfth Iowa at the battle of
Corinth he noticed soldier whose gun
had been clogged and which refused to
work. The poor fellow. in the belief
that he would surely be killed with a
useless weapon in his hand, became
woefully excited and began to tremble
as with an ague.
"You internal fool" shouted Hender-
son, forgetting conventionalities for the
moment, there, why don't you pick the
tube out with pin, same as you do
when you're shooting prairie chick
ens? The word prairie chicken in the
ear of this native Of Iowa sounded so
good that it Immediately brought him
to himself. He at once cleaned out
his gun and went into the fight.
At the end of the battle the man who
had cleaned out his gun had been shot
in the hip, and Henderson had received
q shot in his left foot. When the two
happened to meet afterward, Colonel
Henderson said, "Well, old boy, that
prairie chicken saved your life II II
didn't your hip"

Recipes.
CRUMBED OYSTERS,

Pick over the oysters and use only the
largest and plumpest specimens. Be
sure that every bit of shell is removed.
Sprinkle with salt, paprika, lemon juice,
tablespoon of horse radish, and few
drops of onion juice. Mix we'll that all
may be seasoned. Put thick layer OF
rolled cracker crumbs on the board, salt
them slightly, lay each oyster on the
crumbs, and turn over until well cover

thing else is ready, put two tablespoons
of butter in hot frying pan aluminium
preferred), and when melted and begin
ming to bubble, lay in the oysters and
cook carefully. Turn those put in first
as soon as all are in, for by that time
they will be delicate brown and begin
to bubble. Add more butter if needed,
and remove as fast as brown. Serve at
once with piccalilli and hot rolls.

General Phil Sheridan was at one time

of the Irishman and the army mule.
