New Orleans Cities of the Dead.

. wv O''~o''o Ois'SS VI IIS DOdOs
New Orleans has several miniature
cities within it's boundaries, and they
are the cities of the dead,' said
Louis w. LIE Branc of the Crescent
City.
II mean" he explained, that every
cemetery in New Orleans is a minia-
ture city. They are built above the
ground and laid out in streets, just
as the larger city. Every house is of
marble and some of the tombs are
miniature. In them are buried many
men who won fame under the domin-
ion OF Spain and France. In them, too,
are to be found inscriptions that tell
OF sweet Creole romances, such as
that OF Jeanne Laclede, the popular
singer OF nearly a century ago, who
died of a broken heart.
Certain days are set apart, accord
ing to the old French Catholic GUS
tom for visiting these miniature cit
les, n on these days they are crowd
ed all day long. AS they were built
SO long ago they are now in the en-.
ter of the city and at night low weird
indeed. Long ago it was found neces.
sary to build the cemeteries above the
ground, because of the fact that the
city itself is below the level of the
Mississippi river"

USED BIBLE AS CIPHER.
Verse from Solomon Told Of Mar
riage Engagement.

When she left her home in the
small town to come to New York to
take up a special course of study,
her pet sister was fast reaching the
crisis of a love affair, says the Trib-
une. The pet sister was a most win
some young lady, and had long kept
a goodly train of suitors assigning.
Was this affair to be the grand af-
fair? The older sister hoped so, for
she liked the young man cordially
thought he was just the sort to
make a proper brother-in-law.
But the weeks passed and not a
bit Of definite news about the prog
ress of the affair did the older sister
receive in her city boarding house.
She became anxious. Louise, she
thought, must not go on recklessly
trifing in such important matters.
Then n night about ten o'clock
just as she was going to bed, came
a telegram. The servant brought it
up. The older sister was country
girl enough to be thoroughly fright
ened by the pale manila, black-inked
envelope. How ominous it looked.
At length she gathered courage to
open it. This is what she read:
Solomon six three. Louise"
Solomon six three! Whatever in
the world. oh, why, yes, stupid, it
of course means the Songs of Solo.

and her cheeks flushed with shame
she had no Bible!
There was a great scurrying about
the boarding house to find a copy Of
the sacred book. The girls were
routed ont in vain. On all sides the
cry arose: who's got a Bible?"
Just think Of the sister trying to
sleep that night without knowing
what thai verse was! 1t would have
been just like a woman to lie dow
to pleasant dreams, content to know
that she could satisfy her curiosity in
the morning-not!
The landlady, good soul, came to
the rescue. She was no heather.
She had a Bible. Up to her room
with 1t flew the sister, and, shut the
door. Such a turning of pages by
eager, nervous fingers! Solomon six

cried: "Hurrah!" and laughed, for the
verse was:

Great Britain's employees compensa-
ton act has gone into effect, and
there is some doubt as to whether its
effects will be good or bad. Broadly
it provides that an employee incapaci-
tated by accident shall receive SO per
cent. of his usual wages while in
ca%pacitated, but not to exceed five
dollars per week. For death the COM
%pensation is $3.50 to $1,000. It is
urged by some that it will prevent the
employment of persons whom age or
partial infrmity make especially liza

seen. Many employers are taking out
insurance, which companies are issu-
ing against loss under the law.

German Military Training.

Germany, through the thrift, intelli.

illustrates to mankind the advantages
of training in youth her manhood tc
the use of arms; the habits or disci-

all classes of modern Germans; this
permeates the whole nation, and is
to-day recognized as a national char.

Psychic epilepsy has succeeded
brain storm as a medical term. A New
York physician has just been cleared
of the charge of brutally assaulting a
man and woman on the street on the
plea that he had been subject to at
tacks of psychic epilepsy from child
hood, and that on recovery he had no
knowledge of what had occurred. Just
how the ailment differs from ordinary
epilepsy is not made clear, but it will
undoubtedly prove to be a convenient
malady in criminal procedure.

The Real Obstacle at Panama.

The white man at Panama must
avoid that which he cannot endure.
We have proved that he cannot allow
mosquitoes to bite him, and now it
must be acknowledged that he can
not allow the sunlight to strike his
unprotected body.
We eliminated the mosquitoes, but
we cannot eliminate the sun. The
soldier who deliberately and n
~essarily exposes himself to bullets
when he could take cover is not only
a fool, but he is not a true soldier.
His fatal recklessness only weakens
the army.

should not do it in Panama, writes an
