Vie Grfmmest Epitaph.

What is the most terrible epitaph in
existence? One of the grimmest is
surely that on a stone which was set
up few years ago in the cemetery of
DebreScin, Eastern Hungary.
1t reads as follows: "Here rests in
the Lord Joseph MOritZ, ST., who died
in his siXty-second year. He was shot
by his son. Frau Joseph Moritz, who
died in her fOrty-seventh year. She
was shot by her daughter. Elizabeth
MOritz, who died by her own hand in
her seventeenth year after shooting her
mother. Joseph MOritz. who died in
prison, aged twenty-seven. He had shot
his father. May eternal mercy have
pity on their poor, sinful souls!"
This memorial was erected by a To-
cal literary association, to which, it is
said, the last of the ill-starred family
left a sum Of $3.50 for the purpose.

Poultry, according to the definition
given in one standard encyclopedia, in

freely on the terminals Of the laces, so
that the glove can be readily slipped on
