A Half Solved Mystery,

Detroit has a suburban grocer who
is something of joker, and, having
bought a crock of butter of Uncle
Reuben a few days ago, he slipped a
five pound stone in the empty crock
and exhibited it to the farmer and said
Uncle Reub, I've known YOU for
the last five years, and I'll l,;yr sworn
that you were an honest MAJ In sor-
ry to see this"
"Waal, that half solves the mystery
replied the old man as he picked up
the stone, hefted it and looked it over
in puzzled way.
What mystery? queried the grocer

dog came along by our place, and my
son Bill heaved this rock at him. The
dog and the stone disappeared like II

Sin Enters.

"Sin eaters of the old days, like
'mutes" of quite recent times, were
hired performers at funerals. In con
sideration of siXpence in money, q bowl
of beer and crust of bread these sires,
as they were called-''long, lean, ugly,
lamentable rascals"-would by eating
over the body take upon themselves all
the sins of the deceased and so free him
from afterward walking the earth as a
ghost, so that his soul might rest in
peace.
This custom prevailed all over Wales
and the adjoining English counties and
was observed in the strictest time of
Presbyterian government even down to
1886. The usage is said to have arisen
from mistaken Interpretation of .Ho-
sea iv, 8. ''They eat up the sin of my
people" +..
The more likely origin of this strange
custom is the Levitical scapegoat. A
much later remnant of this obtained at
Amersden, OXfordshire, where after
every funeral cake and a fiagon of
ale were brought to the minister in the
church porch. -.
