From Out the Grave.


In the little village Of Tewin, Hert-
fordshire, England, there are five large
trees growing out Of a single grave,
and thereby hangs curious story. On
the slab that marks the grave was
carved the inscription: .-,
"Here lyeth inter'd the body Of the
Right Honorable Lady Anne Crime
stone, wife of Sir Samuel Grimestone,
Bart, of Gohambury, in Hertfordshire,
daughter of the late Right Honorable
the Earl Of Thanet, who departed this
life Nov. %, 1713, in the sixtieth year
Of her age" .~--
The village story says that Lady
Grimestone, persisting in lifelong de"
NAL of the existence Of a God, on her
deathbed declared in answer to the
exhortations of her friends that If
in the other world she found that there
was indeed a God five trees would
grow out of her grave. The woman
died and was buried. Shortly after
the interment the five little shoots be-
gan to appear, growing constantly un-
Ill they split the masonry and wrecked
the railing about the tomb.-New York

Bascom and His Students.

John Bascom, once president Of the
University: of Wisconsin,, always had
a keen insight into men, and for much
Of his life college students constituted
mankind for him. Once when he was
a class officer the names Of two men
were read by him as absent from
morning prayers. One Of them, a pie
fist, stopped at his desk and said:
professor, when the chapel bell was
ringing l was engaged, in prayer and
did not hear it,
"You're not excused" responded
John, with contempt in his eye and
In his voice.
Then, calling back the other man,
who was about at the door on his way
out of the room, he said to him:
"What's your excuse"
II haven't any, sir"
you're excused
He used to have debates in his class
room. At one Of them a student, whom
Bascom subsequently described as a
"foriating fellow" in the heat of his
eloquence said, II wish that I had
the ability and the time to exhaust
this subject"
"You have the time," said Bascom.-

Chinese Music.

The Chinese have eight instruments
for making their ritual music-the bell,
the flute, the drum, the sonorous stone,
the fife, the plume, the shield and the
ak. The last three make no music, but
are used as decoration or emblem in
the musical ceremonies and are emu
merated as musical instruments. In
every ceremony there are always two
instruments Of each kind, sometimes
as many as four or six, never an odd
number, in order to emphasize the
duality Of the Chinese people. For in
stance, one drum announces the be-
ginning Of the music, and Its mate
strikes the last note; one bell calls,
and Its counterpart answers. ...'

GRAvELs RICH IN GOLD.
Government lnspects Worked Over
Districts Of the Yukon.

Ottawa, Ont, Aug. 5.-The Cana
dian government has had an examina-
ton made of the gold producing dis
tricts of the Yukon to see what
amount of gold was still to be OBJ
tanned from gravel banks, hil1sides
and valleys, where the pioneer miner
with placer methods has skinned off
the rich cream. Four experts spent a
season sampling, surveying, boring
and measuring the gravels. They
estimate, that there is still almost
1854, 100000 gold to be taken from
gravels which have already yielded
$119, 100000. To recover what Is still
scattered through the soil advanced
mining methods will have to be used.

about a farreaching shortage Of the
supply Of fuel at the upper lakes.
With the best of fortune and II all
the hopes of vesselmen are fulfilled
the region out beyond the upper lakes
will have from 100000 to 100000
tons of coal less than 1t will require,
according to estimates made by the
prominent shippers. ~.,
Ohio shippers are rushing fuel to
upper lake points in every vessel they
can charter. Since the. opening Of
navigation shipments to the Head Of
the Lakes are considerably greater at
this time than they were a year ago.
Many boats, however, are tied 'up in
the river here awaiting cargoes for
the reason; according to one of the
shippers, that the railroads. are not
bringing in coal fast enough to load
the ships.

Animal PecuIiarities,

A herd Of wild Asian buffaloes will
charge any foe, even a tiger, to save
the life Of one Of their number that has
been wounded. Elephants, balloons
and other animals will do the same
thing in a wild state
On the other hand, monkeys have
been known to fall upon one Of their
number that is i'll and drown him, pos
sibly as an act Of mercy. Similarly
wolves destroy one Of the pack that
becomes helpless.
If an otter is trapped, his brother Of
tiers will run around him all night,
showing the utmost concern.

letter received by Charles B. Grubb,
