CHURCH PEW HIS BED.
Tramp Finds Rest for His Weary
Bones In House Of Worship.


The janitor of one of Portsmouth's
largest churches was given a big sur
prise Sunday morning as he stepped
into the auditorium after opening the
big front doors to allow of the usual
airing out. He came face to face with
strange and tough-looking man. At
first the janitor feared touch OF the
chills. but he finally brought himself
together and inquired OF the man what
he had been doing.
The fellow said that he had been en-
1oying nights rest on the cushions
OF pew AWAY down front Saturday
night he was attracted TO the church
by the singing Of the choir during re-
hearsal. He found the door open,
walked In and sat down.
The music had that soothing effect
and the wanderer fell asleep. He knew
nothing more until daylight. when he
awoke wondering where he was at He
said that in all his life he had never
found a more comfortable bed.
The janitor looked about, saw that
nothing was disturbed and then al
lowed the stranger to go.-Portsmouth

Meat Inspection In Paris.

There are in Paris three principal
abattolrs. the largest of which. La
Vilette.' is In the northern quarter OF
the city; "Vauglrard." which was
opened in 1898, and replaced the old
siaughter-house OF Grenelle: and "Vil-
lejuif," where horses are slain for
food. Any butcher may slaughter ami.
mails at these abattoirs on payment OF
n tax of francs (i0 cents) Il hundred
Kilograms GEO pounds) on the meat
so prepared. Butchers OF the more
important class and specially licensed
are permitted to sell the meat which
they have thus provided directly to
the smaller dealers who keep retail
meat stores throughout the city. In
spectors are in constant attendance
and any meat found infected with dis
ease or otherwise unfit for food Is sat.
urated with petroleum and condemned.
Prior to the year 1910 the butchers OF
Paris slaughtered animals in the
streets and public squares. but at that
time municipal slaughter houses
"abattoirs"-were established where
animals intended for human food are
Inspected and the whole process OF
slaughtering and disposal of the meat
and offal are kept under official sur
veillance.

$4,000 FOR A BOOK.
Early Edition of Shakespeare Brought
Fancy Price.

Nearly quarter of a century ago
John Loveday, well-known biblio-
phile of England, announced to the
literary world that. in examining a
dark corner of his library. he found a
little brown volume hidden behind two
rows of books. He opened it, and saw
that the title of the first work in it
was a poem by James Gresham, print
ed in 1926, on a Cenci theme. AT first
he thought that the book had better
be put on the fire, but on turning over
a few leaves he espied the title of the
second poem. "The Passionate Pill
CRIME: or Certain Amorous Sonnets
Between Venus and Adonis," being the
third edition, published by William
Jaggard in 1612. There were also "The
Mirror of Martyrs" 1901; "The Kings
Prophecie; or, Weeping joy" Spen-
ser's "Britain's 1da," 1928; and John
Marston's 1.-THE Scourge of Villanie,"
1898.
The value of teh little volume. how
ever, lies in the Shakespearean poem,
and although this is of the third edi-
tion, 1t is believed that only one other
copy of that edition is extant-the
specimen in the Bodleian. The second
edition is apparently lost. OF the
first, two copies are known, one hav-
ing been found in a garret at Sir
Charles Isham's house. For some time
many collectors have been angling for
this little volume, and now the book
has been sold for 10000 It Is almost
unnecessary to add that the find has
gone to America, where the $3.50

Great Missenden, went.

Airs. III. WriQhf

Mrs. Pinlxham claims that there Is Q
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by .
derangemcnt of the female organism,
and which. while it causes n disturb
nnce similar to ordinary indigestion,
cannot be relieved without n medicine
which not only acts as stomach tonic,
but has n peculiar tonic effect on the fc-
male organism.
AS proof of this theory we call Mt
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, y. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia L. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
" For two years suffered with dyspepsia
which SO degcnerated the entire system that
was unable to attend to my daily duties. /
felt weak and nervous, and nothing that ] nts
tasted good and II caused disturbance in my
stomach. l tried different dyspepsia cures,
but nothing seemed to help me. WIS nd

to find that 1t acted like fine tonic and In

IT'S THE FOOD.
The True Way to Correct Nervous
Troubles.

Nervous troubles are more often
caused by improper food and indiges-

doctors sometimes overlook this fact.
A man says:
Until two years ago wafiles and
butter with meat and gravy were the
main features of my breakfast. Final

self in q bad condition, worse in the
morning than any other time. I would

Earnings Of Noveiists.

Authors earn much less in Franco
than in England. The late Sir Walter
Besant ten years ago estimated that
there were so novelists in England
who earned upward of a thousand n
year. There are now probably nearer
a hundred and fifty; while in France
there are almost certainly not more
than SO who make living at all. An
English novelist of standing will re-
ceive eighteeEpence on every copy of
O book sold. Some novelists receive
two shillings. Emile Zola, who touched
high water mark in France, got a
franc, which is rather less than ten
pence. Seven pence halfpenny is
considered excellent pay, and four
pence and fivepence are common.
