A Bridge Of Coffins.

When the British forces we're march
Ing to Pekin in 1860, after the capture
Of the Taku forts, one of the rivers be-
came so swollen with the heavy rains
that 1t was rendered almost impassa-
BILE. While in this quandary a bright
Idea suddenly struck one of our Off
GERS. Being we'll aware that the Chi
nese generally order their collins years
in advance and keep them on the
premises and also that they are per-
fectly air tight, he consulted with his
brother officers. with the result that
orders were given to search all the
houses of the village and collect every
coffin. With the aid of a few empty
casks the soldiers constructed a pom
toon bridge Of collins sufficiently
strong to bear the artillery. and the
river was thus passed in safety.-Lon-
don Standard.

An Odd Post Gard,

The most curious post card eve pro-
duced, according to a leading philate-
list, was one which the Japanese gov
eminent put out in 1873.
In describing he says it is "really a
sheet Of paper folded so as to form
four pages Of a narrow book. On the
front page is a border ~inclosing an i'm
pressed stamp for the postage rate and
q space for the address. On the sec.
ond page are printed In native charac-
tiers only minute directions for use. On
the third page are ruled a number of
vertical lines, between which the send
er was to write his communication, and
the fourth page was a blank" They
remained In use until 1875.

A CURIOUS FARM.
Requires No Fences and Never Had q
Wheeled Vehicle.

Within sight of the town of Jasper.
No. in Tx Ozarks. IL settler has a
farm which probably is unlike any 9th.
er IL the world.
1hIS farm occupies the tableland on
the summit of Il ridge and is inclosed
with a fence which no animal has ever
broken through. 1t does not rise above
the surface OF the farm. but falls sheer
the edge a distance of many feet.
The man who homeSteaded the table
LAND had Il hard climb up the face of
q perpendicular cliff to reach the CON-
paratively level summit.
At one point a ledge extends out q
few inches and along the face of the
cl1h at an upward grade. BY follow.
Ing this ledge and making use Of coca.
sional points Of rocks and Of shrubs
growing in the assures the discoverer
pulled himself to the summit and found
q surface we'll covered with soil and a
luxuriant vegetation.
Gradually he improved the ledge un-
til he could carry up tools and seed.
BY blasting and drilling he cleared a
narrow trail. up which he was able to
take first some pigs and then a COW.
Later on he took up a horse.
And that today Is the condition of
this ~curiously protected farm. No vehi-
Gle has turned a wheel within its lin.

multiplied and consumes the grain
raised. Some stones thrown across the
trail completely fence in the hogs and
cattle. When the farmer has stock to
sell he drives the animals down the
private trail and strikes the road to

These are the spirits Of Druids or Of
other early Cornwall folk who, as

too innocent for hell. So they are suf-

haunts, but ever %dwindling and dwin-

HIS CRYING BABY.
And the Cheerful Elderly Man Who
Was Generous With Advice,

"oS 0SuCFOuS WIN AovlCes
A young man about twenty-five years
old was sitting in one Of the third
class waiting rooms of a London rail-
way terminus with n baby on his
knee. and his helplessness in pacifying
the bowling child attracted the atten.
ton of passersby. Presently an elder
~ man walked up. with a smile Of
pity. and uueried:
"A woman gave you that baby to
hold while she went to see about her
luggage. didn't she"
Yes"
"And yon expect her back. I sup

man played the same trick on me once,
bat no II eve will again. Young
man. you've been done You've been

beer sold, Better give the baby over to
a policeman and make a move before
some reporter gets at you"
"Oh. she'll come back" replied the
young man as he looked a~nxiously
round.
"She will. eh? Joke grows richer and
richer. What makes you think she'll

because she's my wife. and this Is
our first baby"
"Oh-h'm, | see," muttered the old
man. whose hilarity suddenly evapo-
rated. and when he also discovered
that he'd lost his train he kicked a dog
that had been left %unguarded on the
platform.-London Answers.

Maxwell says: II believe in these
phenomena, but I see no need to at
tribute them to any supernatural inter-
vention. l am inclined to think they
are produced by some force within our
selves" Just what he means by that
I can't precisely explain. It's harder
to understand than the spirit hypoth-
esis. He goes or to say that, while he
is certain that we are In the presence
Of nm unknown force, he is convinced
that the phenomena will ultimately be
found orderly, like all other facts OF
nature. "Some future Newton will
discover a more complete formula than
ours" he prophesies. Every natural
fact should be studied and, if it be
real, incorporated in the patrimony Of
knowledge" He then adds, with the
true scientists humble acknowledge
ment of the infinite reach Of the undis-
covered universe, "Our knowledge Is
very limited and u experience young"
