UNIQUE AND ROMANTIC BURIALS


One of the most romantic burials in history
was that of Alaric the king of the West Goths,
who invaded Italy, captured and sacked Rome,
August "a, 40. After this success he was pre-
pairing to carry his. arms into Sicily, when he
died suddenly at Cosentia. Italy His soldier;
buried him in the bed of the river Busento after
turning the water into another channel. With
him was inferred great Treasures and the digging
done by prisoners, who were afterward put
to DEATH that the exact spot might remain un.
known. Another Roman conqueror, Attila the
Hun was buried in 453 \. d., in the midst of
plain. His body was inclosed in three cof6ns'
the first of gold, the second Of silver the third
and outer of iron. He, like Aarc, was surround.
ed by great treasure and buried by prisoners who
were afterward killed. a third secret and ro.
mantle burial was that of the Spanish explorer
Fernando de Soto, the discoverer of the Mis-
sissippi River, Shortly after finding the river he
died of malarial fever, and to keep his body from
falling into the hands of the savagcs it placed
in a coffin, which at midnight was taken to the
middle of the great stream and sunk.

world. The manufacturers of toys find it profit
able to cater to this spirit 1t is claimed that
the small boy takes naturally to warike toys.
He gets more fun out of them than anything
else and whenever he has anything to do with
the selection of his toys will generally show Pre-.
disposition in favor of soldiery guns, cannons or
some similar feature of warfare.
The toymakers say that it is always safe to
make any innovation in this line of toys, for they
are always of being acceptable in the eyes
of the children, whereas there is always more or
less uncertainty about bringing out novelties
along other lines, for the new things may not be
approved by the little ones for whom they are
intended.
This prediction in favor of the implements of
warfare seems to be universal and therefore it
is catered to by the toymakers of the world
which fact was especially noticeable at a recent
exhibition of toys which took place in Paris just
before the opening of the Christmas season

THE BRIDAL SHOE.

Casting a shoe after a bride.-At its origin this
custom did not, as many suppose, mean a wishing
of good luck rather it was a symbol of trans
ference of property rights. The belief that "A shoe

Israelites held it. With them the throwing of a
shoe property meant ownership,

cards for many years, but never have its pros
poets of realization been more hopeful than they
are at the present time. Politicians manufact-
urers and the heads of many of the great Eng
ish railway companies are agreed that the tunnel
is desirable; engineers of the highest authority
say that it can be constructed; the questions that
remain are-Where is it to be constructed and
who is to find the money? In regard to the first
of these problems, five routes have been pro
posed. The first is to run the tunnel between
the nearest points Of the two countries-viz., the
Null of Cantre. in Scotland and Tor Point, in
Antrim. The distance is thirteen miles, the bed
of the sea is comparatively level all the way
across, and the cost would not be more than $50
100000. But this route is IN reality the least
practical, for it would involve the construction

Washington, d. c., April 23.-It is
doubtful if, in his Washington expert
ence, Secretary Taft has had to do
with more newspaper men than he
saw today. OF course they were in
terested in his southern journey but
they were mainly DESTROYS to learn
what the secretary intended to do in
regard to the challenge which Senator
Foraker had issued in regard to the
contest in Ohio. The secretary, how
ever, frankly told his newspaper cal
lers that he was under the disadvan-
tage of considerable absence from the
country, with only scanty news of
the important political events that
had occurred. He did not feel under.
the circumstances that it was proper
for him to make any kind of state
ment as to his political opinions and
plans. r.
One point developed in the course of
his talk with newspaper men that
might be regarded as significant in
view of the fact that it has been re-
ported he had intended to cancel his
proposed Philippine trip in order to
go on the stump in Ohio. *
Replying to a direct inquiry, the
sagcretar-r stated his intcntic- to sail
for the Philippines about September
next. This statement was made, too,
after the secretary had spent nearly
two hours in close conference with
the president. 1@
Late in the summer the secretary
expects to go to Iowa and Minnesota
and in each case address the state
university, but he did not say the adj
dresses would be non-political. He
| was wanted in Oklahoma, and he said
he would go if he could He had been
told that bitter political fight was to
be waged there and il he went into
the new state he would have to enter
that fight.
He also was requested to go to
South Dakota on purely political
! tour and possibly he would make one
speech at Fort Meade. Nothing how
/ ever, would probably prevent him
from going to the Philippines in
! September.
