FEARED BURIAL IN TRANCE.
Unhappy Existence Led by Victim of
Peculiar Disease. -

Unhappy Existence Led by Victim Of
Peculiar Disease. *tf,' -.
In one of my voyages from Cape
Town to England writes traveller,
Il shared my cabin with peculiar
man, whose name was Lazarus. He
made me promise that if he should die
during the voyage I, would prevent
his burial at sea- He said that on a
previous voyage he had fallen sick
and was taken for dead and put into
a sack for burial A quartermaster
had been put on to watch the body
Until it was time for the funeral.
When the burial party arrived, the
quartermaster informed the captain
that he thought the body had moved
in the sack. The sack was opened and
Lazarus eventually came to life again.
Such was the story Lazarus told me.
Lazarus was a thin man, with a sal
low face. He had an enormous appe-
ttte and appeared at every meal, to
which.he devoted his whole energies.
The good feeling only seemed to add
tc his corpselike appearance. One
evening, sure enough, when we were
about half way to our voyages end,
he apparently died again. The doctors
took him in charge this time, however,
and he came out of his trance without
any shotted-sack episode. He was met
at the London docks by a number of
relatives and friends, all of whom
looked as if they might be suffering
from the same complaint

PHILADELPHIA Provincialisms.

AS a stranger in Philadelphia | was
very much amused by certain provin-
cialisms. One Of these was the use
of the word off, instead of from. ;"
please buy flowers off me" say the
Youthful street venders. One day,
while waiting for some groceries, a
young lady, evidently unused to house
keeping, approached the raw Irish
clerk, and timidly asked: Il want
some mutton to make broth. Shall
I get it off the neck?' NO, ma'am'
was the solemn reply, as the clerk
pointed to the butcher busy at his
block. we git it off that mon.

Seeking the LARGE Life.

The habit which many women have
formed. and from which they appar-
emily do not attempt to secure fee
dom, Of devOting the larger portion
of their time and thoughts to the
trivial things Ct life! robs them Of the
capacity cs @ enjoying or assimilating
much which would add to intellectu-
al growth. The woman WHO sees
nothing from day to day but the four
walls of her abiding place often quite
naturally becomes narrow in her
thoughts. She even lacks the incen-
tive to commune with great minds
through reading.
But interest in that which best
serves humanity should not be limit
ed by the lines of sex. AS woman's S
opportunities open she is quick to
place herself in touch with all the
active forces which make for the bet
terment of mankind.-Madame.

THE SECRET OF HAPPINESS.
Look Only Upon the Bright Side of
All HappeninoS

LOOK Only Upon the ErIght SIde OF
All Happenings.
The man who can drill his thoughts,
SO as to shut out everything that is
depressing and discouraging and see
only the bright side even of his mis-
fortunes and failures, has mastered
the secret of happiness and success.
He has made himself a magnet to
draw friends, cheer, brightness and
good fortune to him. Everyone is
pleased to see him. His presence is
like sunbeam on a dull day.
There is no accomplishment, no
touch of culture. no gift which will
add so much to the alchemic power of
life as the optimistic habit-the deter
mination to De cheerful and happy no
matter what comes to us. 1t will
smooth rough paths, light up gloomy
places and melt away obstacles as the

Oldest Coin in the World?

This was discovered by a German
archaeologist during his explorations
in North Syria. 1t is coin of pure
silver, bearing a perfect Aramean in
scription of Panammu Bar Rerub,
King of Schamol, who reigned eight
hundred years B. C. The 1ydians had
always been regarded as the invent
ors of money, but this new find shows
that the Semitic Arameans, who lived
two centuries before the Lydians, are
the oldest known coiners of money.

Why People Admire Something Pro-
ducer Thinks Little Of.
He had two lectures. One was dig
nifed, noble, grand, well-pleasing to
himself. The other was common, sim
pie, earnest, popular, but thought lit
tie of by himself. One of the perplex-
tiles of his life was this: Why should
the people admire something that he
thought little of, and think little of
something which he thought SO much

be kept in a sealed case in the own

 In the manufacturing districts be- yond the Warsaw and Navaraga gates, in the Schlesburg district and in the sections on both sides of the Neva, the workmen generally obeyed the sum mons to strike and promptly at 12 o'clock thousands of them emerged to the streets.
 Police, cossacks, soldiers of the guard regiments and ether patrols were ev- anywhere, but so far no collisions have marked the inauguration of the strike

CHOICE OF ROOSEVELT.
The President Favors Mir. Wadsworth
 for the Speakership.


 Old Westbury, L. l., Dec. 21.-Con- gressman Cox of the Presidents own Congressional District, on his return from Washington. stated here today that he had called at the White House to consult with the President as to the attitude of the Assemblyman from that (Nassau) County about the Speak crship contest.
 The President said that as 8 citizen of Nassau and a constituent of the As- semblyman. if his advice was asked he would state that in his opinion Mir Wadsworth was an ideal candidate for Speaker; that 1t would be the best possible thing for the party and the State if he were elected; that he pos sessed the very qualities most needed for the Speakership at this particular juncture; that not only was he man of ability, of unfinching courage and ruggedly aggressive honesty, but his election would mean that the Republi cans would have a Speaker absolutely free from dictation by any individual or by any ring. a man who would be entirely his own master and incapable of being coerced by any interest, politi- cal or financial. and that it would be indeed a fortunate thing if Mir. Wads- worth were elected.
