The Dukes Armored Train.

The Duke of Bedford has caused
good deal of amusement to the inhab-
itants of Woburn by his latest invest
ment, sort of miniature armored
train, consisting of a truck, painted
brown like the dukes livery and drawn
by a small steam motor. Both the mo-
tor and the truck are protected by
high sides, so that the duke can go in
safety into the Enclosure where he
keeps the wilder animals of his won
derful zoo at Woburn. Some Of these
beasts are inclined to be FESTIVE at
times, and the duke had a narrow es-
cape from being damaged by large
specimen of deer which turned fero-
cious one day while the duke and a
somewhat stout friend were in the in
closure inspecting various newcomers.
The Enclosures are fenced round with
very high palings, and the duke, who is
active and slim, was soon on the out
side, but his friend had more difficulty
and only escaped by a very narrow
squeak; hence the new importa ton, and
now the duke and his friends can steam
round the park in safety.-M. A. P.

Ashburnham, Ont, April IS, 1851

tell you what a wonderful effect
Chamberlain Cough Remedy has
produced. The day before Easter 1

cough that did not think to be able
to take any duties next day, as my
voice was almost choked by the cough.
The same day / received an order
from you for bottle of your Cough
Remedy. at once procured sample
bottle, and took about three doses of
the medicine. To my great relief the
cough and cold had completely dis
appeared and I was able to preach
three times Easter Day. / know that
this rapid and effective cure was due
to your Cough Remedy. | make this
testimonial without solicitation, being
thankful to have found such a God
sent remedy. Respectfully yours,

An Internal Difficulty.

Little Archie Richards at the close of
the dinner sat at the table with his
face suffused with tears. His mother
was greatly troubled. With a sweet
smile and with gentle information she
put one arm around her little baby boy
and asked:
what is it mammals little darling
wants?"
But mammals little darling" continu-
ed to cry.
Mamma made another effort TO find
out the trouble.
"Does mammals baby boy want some
more cake?" she asked.
NOM said the child, while the
tears continued to flow.
docs he want some more pie?" she
further inquired.
"No'm," he further replied
"Well," said the mother, making
last effort to reach his case, "tell man.
ma what baby wants"
The little boy managed somehow to
say between sobs, 81 want some of this
out I've got in. '-Lippincott's.

CHOICE MISCELLANY
Lying In 4 Crave.


A remarkable saint has recently
made lis appearance in Bengal and
processes to effect miraculous cures of
incurable diseases. During the recent
cold weather he passed fifty -one days
in tank by keeping nearly the whole
of his body under water, and now he
is living inside a "pucca" grave six
feet deep. This has been wholly Gov
cred over with masonry. keeping only
a small hole (the diameter of which is
about two inehes) through which to
serve him with his daily food, simply
consisting of an orange or pomegran-
ate juice with one almond ouly. In
this state he will remain for fifty-one
days, and through the hole
string has been passed into the
grave, one end of it being tied to
bell suspended on bamboo post to en-
able him to give an alarm in case of
any danger or mishap. He also uses it
to respond to calls inquiring after his
health, signifying thereby that he is all
right. The saint entered the grave
with his bedding, some holy books,
two or three bottles of rosewater and
one or two walls of altar of roses, aft
er which the opening was blocked up,
barring the hole, and then, leveling the
place with earth, some greens were
sown, which, being regularly watered,
thrive nicely. The saint has taken
the rosewater with him in lieu of
plain water to wash his face, hands
and feet before saying his prayers.
But the saint was not without an eye
to the main chance, for one day mon
ey order came to his address from
Bombay, which, being rolled up, was
dropped into the grave through the
hole. 1t was shortly after passed back
duly signed by the holy man.-East

NEW SHORT STORIES


Pauncefote and the Detective.
The late Lord Pauncefote, British
ambassador, always entertained a high
opinion of the Washington detective
force. In fact, he believed they were
better even than those of Scotland
Yard, and the manner in which he
formed this view makes very inter-
esting story. During the latter part of
one spring several years ago his lord
ship and family decided to leave the
city for a summers Sojourn on the sea-
coast, and the diplomat sent word to
Chief of Police Sylvester requesting
that he send up one of his best detec-
tives to assist and advise him as to the
best plan for making the house secure
against burglars.
Pursuant to the request, the major
sent one of his best men, and when he
arrived his lordship took him to where
he had locked the silverware in a very
strong, old fashioned safe, the door of
which lacked a combination and was
secured by lock and key. Pointing to
this safe, Lord Pauncefote exclaimed
thIl hS WOulo iihS " see Lie lAlCI VI
burglar who could break into that safe
and steal the plate within The detec-
tive eyed the large iron vault for few
minutes and then said:
Eyes, it is a very strong piece of
work, but nevertheless I'll bet you a
bottle of champagne that l can enter
this house without coming through a
door or window and open that safe in
less than five minutes
The British ambassador took the bet.
When he first entered the mansion,
the detective had noticed that the eel
lar gratings were unsecured, and, go
ing outside. he opened one of them,
dropped down into the basement and,
coming up the kitchen stairway, was
soon in the room in which the safe
holding the silver plate was located.
This of itself fairly took the breath
of the distinguished diplomat, but
when the detective took from his peck
ct skeleton key and at one turn
opened the massive doors of the safe
Lord Pauncefote was ready to confess
that the capital detectives were a triffe
better than anything of the sort he had
ever seen, and he paid the debt with
interest several times before the officer
left.

Buried wires of Germany.

Germany has carried to a more prac-
teal length than any other nation, even
our progressive own, the use of buried
wires.
The kaiser's land is covered by net
work of underground wires or cables,
which serve as a reserve means of
communication in the event of storms
or other above ground agencies of in
terruption. The details of this subter-
ranean system of telegraph wires form
one of the most jealousy guarded Sc
crets of the German war office, since
the primary object is to secure unin-
terrupted communication between all
the chief strategic points of the en-
pire. Even an invading foreign foe
could neither cut nor tap the wires.
The possible utility of the system, how
ever, even to the plain people is ap-
parent

Italian Immigration.

In thirty years 1871 ,076 Italians have
come to this country. This immigration
has very peculiar character. Until
1890 the percentage of women was less
than Is. but now it has increased to 80.
This indicates that the immigration has
a marked tendency to become perma-
nent. Thirty per cent or more of Italian
adults who have been in this country
more than ten years went back at least
once to Italy, and so per cent of these
came to this country again, bringing
their families with them.
