FIVE FALL INTO GRAVE.
Remarkable Incident That Disturbed
solemnity of Funeral.

Instead Of the accustomed quiet
which prevails at the burial of the
dead, great excitement and fear at

sons attending the services we're

The final prayer had been said by
the preacher, and the assistant to the
undertaken stepped to the foot Of the
coffin to arrange the rope for letting
the coffin into the grave. At that mo-
ment one Of the pallbearers acct
dentally kicked out the crosspiece
that supported the coffin. The coffin
quickly descended into the grave. the
body going feet first. The assistant
fastened its descent by tumbIing on
it. Several persons rushed to the
edge of the grave, causing the soil to
yield. and in few seconds five per
sons were lying in the pit half covered
with dirt.
They were pulled out, the coffin was
dug out and laid fiat, and after the
grave had been redug the burial was
completed.-N. Y. Press.

Famous women Of Japan.

Women played an important part in
the early history of Japan. To a
woman, the Empress Jingu, belongs
the glory of the first conquest made
by Japan, that of Korea, A. d. POI.
Dressed as a man. she led her fleet
over the unknown waters, across
which she alone believed a country
lay to the westward IF We succeed, .
she said to her chiefs, the glory will
all be yours. will be responsible for
the infamy of possible defeat" The
Koreans laid their wealth at the feet
of the conquerors and the king swore
that so long as the stars shone and
water ran down hill Korea should be
faithful to Japan. This achievement
of the empress gave rise to the boast
of the Japanese, The arms of Japan
shine beyond the seas" But the
most important fruit of her victory
was the introduction of Buddhism
from Korea, as we'll as Asiatic art,
science. medicine. and literature.
Jingu, however, was never actually
proclaimed head of the empire. The
first female ruler was Suiko. and since
her time eight expresses have gov
erned Japan. some of them with great
wisdom.

London,s Awful Smoke.

Sir William Richmond, a well
known member of the Royal Acad-
envy. finds instances in unexpected
directions to drive home his argu-
ments in his laudable but hitherto un-
successful campaign against the Lon
don smoke nuisance. Lecturtng the
other day, he told his hearers that the
late springs and early falls in Lon
don were caused entirely by smoke.
The pallor of Londoners was also due
to the same cause, for the smoke ex-
cluded the sunlight and where there
was no sunlight there was no color
He went SO far as to ascribe certain
physical deficiencies of the poor to his
pet aversion. Promising that nothing
could grow without light, he declared
that poor girls were often toothless,
while the snub noses and retreating
chins so common among the poorly
bred natives of London were largely
due to the absence of light caused by
smoke

WHEN THE FISH HURDLE.
Man Wanted to Be Far Away From
the Danger Spot.

Of course at this season the usual
run OF FISH stories" are going the
rounds. But one relating to the
hurdling prowess of bass and trout.
which was told in all earnestness the
other night, takes first prize.
Fish always go up stream in the
springtime," said the fisherman. "and
scarcely anything will keep the bass

species to jump over dam eight to
ten feet high and continue their m
stream journey"
What was that you said?" re-
marked a friend, who also claims to
be somewhat of an angler. The man
repeated his assertion that he had
seen fish jump over dams eight to fen
feet high, and as there was no one
present TO deny the hurdling abilities
OF the fish, the only challenge to his
remarkable statement was a laugh bv
all hands.
Well. trust I will never be on the
top of Niagara falls when one of those

ten-foot dam can be hurdled by either
bass or trout.

Inhabitants of well-known region
of the canton of Bern, Switzerland, a
district famous throughout the Alps
for its large breed of cattle and its
brand Of milk, are spoken of as
coffee faced and fiat chested." At
the last military draft eighteen young
