When the Dead Helped Trade.

A Capt. Taylor, his wife and daugh-
ter. of old Brig house, England, we're
buried side by side, standing up in
their graves.
Two hundred years ago it was the
custom in England to keep an open
coffin or chest in the parish church,
for common use, to carry the dead
to the graveyard in. The body was
wrapped in coarse linen. and held to-
gether with bone pins.
A few years later an act was passed
by parliament ordering that all bod
les be wrapped in woolens instead of
linens, in order to build up or foster
the woolen industry, which was then
in its infancy. The parish vicar was
required to report that the burial
took place in wooden according to the
act.-The Sunday Magazine.

CATCHES DEER AND TROUT.
Fisherman Breaks she Record FOR One
Line in Days Sport.

To kill deer and catch trout at
the same time out Nirmods and out
lzaaks Walton. A fisherman has just
done the trick on the Arrow lakes,
says the Toronto Globe. The deer
weighed 200 pounds and the trout ten.
The fisherman was trolling for trout
when several deer swan past his boat.
One was an old buck and the man
managed to catch hold of him as he
was going by.
Having no gun, he tried to kill the
animal with claspknife. The buck
objected so strenuously that he got
away, swimming off with the fishing
line upon his horns. The fisherman
bailed out his boat and started in pur-
suit. After two hours rowing he
caught up with the deer and with oars
and knife succeeded in Staying 1t.
While the chase was proceeding big
trout got on the hook and after the
deer was safely landed the fish was
secured. 1t is quite a common occur
renee to see deer swimming in the
lakes of British Columbia, but to cap
ture one and trout at the same time
is infrequent.

A Flower Clock.

There was a queer gardener who
thought of making timepiece Of a

not, he said it could be done. He
declared that the time is known at
which more than so kinds of flowers

of common dand elions would show it

to close within few minutes Of two

A Novel Way of Fishing.

A correspondent writes: AS was
walking along the promenade at East
bourne recently l saw a gentleman,
with a big black retriever dog, tied
to a leash. l stopped and watched
him; so did some more people. After
awhile he let the dog go. He swan
out to sea a little way and brought
back what I thought was walking
stick But as the dog got closer to
shore, l saw there was some string
attached to 1t, which turned out to
be fishing line, and, to the surprise
of the people around him, 1t had on
the end of it a small salmon bass,
which weighed about four and one
half pounds. Surely this is a novel

Handshake Anguish.

A correspondent who is one of the
sex most liable to have its hand
pressed, thanks us for our protest
against the physical anguish" that is
daily inflicted by the handshake. But
this acute pain, she confesses, is
brought about altogether by the wear
ing of rings on the right hand. No
one could possibly apply the word
anguish" to anything felt by the un-
decorated hand; but is by no means
too violent a name for what many
fragile fingers undergo between the
diamond and the ruby Our CORE.
spondent owns that an acute observer
might see her many times furtively
conveying all her right hand rings to
the fingers of the left hand before a
farewell likely to be hearty.

Derivation of "snelIinu. y

There is some doubt as to the deri-
vation of the word spelling" 1t is
believed to be from the Anglo-Saxon
word "spel," meaning discourse or
story, and the verb "spellian," to de-
clare. relate, tell, as in spell" a
charm, and gospel" However, there
may have been some confusion with
SPELL a slip of wood, since such q
slip was used in old-time schools to
point to the letters of word, one
after another, in spelling them out.

Princeton Pastor = HumorIat.

The Rev. DR.. ]. Addison Henry, for
many years the Princeton pastor, had
a keen sense of humor, and detested
shams. Speaking of how useless to a
congregation are the honorary de-
grees and titles that its pastor might
have, he told Of one his daughter, Mrs.
Obdyke, when a child, conferred upon
him. 1t seems DIR. Henry was attend
ing one of the sessions of the general
assembly and the little girl addressed
a letter to him: THE Rev. j. Addison
Henry, General ASS" He was famous
as punster, and his play Of words on
his name was often quoted. When the
degree of D. D. was conferred upon
him by Princeton he remarked: $50
ADD. .-is-on Henry" With children
he was irresistible. He told them, one
day in speaking of prayer, that his
little daughter one Christmas eve
made the following supplication: "Oh,
Lord, do please make the night very
short and tomorrow very long" The
text for his address on his fortieth
anniversary was: And Forty Years
Have Suffered These People"

At GARRICK NEXT WEEK.

Lena Ashwell the famous London
actress who scored such a triumph this
summer in her latest and greatest foot
light creation of the Boer wife De-
borah, in the heart-stirring drama of
Transvaal life entitled The Shuham-
ite," has for many seasons been recog-
niZed as one of the finest emotional
actresses on the English speaking
stage. To American followers of dra-
matte affairs on both sides Of the At
lantic she is probably best known
as the original London creation of
those two intensely dramatic roles
which our stage has been able to give
to the modern British stage-the char
acters of Yo San in The Darling of the
Gods" and Leah Kleschna. A full
view OF Miss AshwelTs brilliant
achievements in emotional art would
be to name many of the most celebrated
successes of John Bulls play houses
since 1891, when she frst made her
debut in The Pharisee" with George
Alexander she appeared in Lady Vim
dermere's Fan" Her initial engage
ment with Sir Henry Irving was in
1898 as Elaine in the sumptuous pro-
duction Of King Arthur" and she was
pronounced an artistic favorite with
the Lyceum knight. With Irving she
played in Richard IL and also origin
ated the parts of Pia and Geona in Sar-
dou's Dante" Beerbohm Tree spec
tally secured her to create the role of
Katusha Maslova in Resurrection" Tt
was she, too. who electrified all Lon
don play goers by her wonderful por-
trayal of the unhappy Magdalene in
Henry Arthur Jones moving play.

broaden remarkably toward the toes.
of which the great one is so separated
from the others as to form with them
a wide angle. And from the toes grow
nails that can be fixed in the ground

the name Cao-Ci-the people with the
crooked toes.-Rosary Magazine.

"Picnlc Suppers."

Picnic suppers" we're described in
1902 as a new fashionable craze in
England. A list was compiled of the
various dishes, each with a number
against it. Then lots were drawn
by the party, and each person had to
provide the dish marked with the
number he drew Such suppers were
known in the time of James l. and the
word picnic" was known to Lord
Chesterfield. 1t is supposed to come
from pick" to eat, and nick" a
trifle. Foote calls picnics mick
nacks."
