LARGEST Grave In the WorId.

The largest single grave in the world
occupies just exactly one acre Of
ground, which is surrounded by an
iron railing. This enormous grave is
located at Pearto Cortez, in Honduras,
and is the burial place of a woman.
The tombstone occupies the center Of
the ground inclosed, and several wood
en- figures representing the deceased
are arranged in statuelike form in diff
ferent parts Of the ground. There
are no fewer than sixteen Of these fig
ures, which in the evening give the
place a ghostlike appearance. The de-
ceased had died rich and in her will
had specified the amount Of ground
to be purchased for her grave and the
manner in which it should be deco
rated. She had many curious notions,
and the size and ornamentation Of her
grave was one Of them.

Cast Up by tho Sea.

They that go down to the sea in
ships learn much of the mysteries Of
life. From the coast Of Africa there
travelled to Scarboro, Me-, the painting
Of an old time sea captain of that
town who long years ago was lost with
all on board his ship in the China seas.
The ship sailed from the home port
with every prospect Of a successful
voyage, but she never returned to the
home land. Years went by and she
was given up as lost, her name was
taken from the shipping list, and no
news of her came back to the waiting
ones at home. Long afterward pass
ing vessel picked up off the African
coast the portrait of an American sea
captain such as the Chinese artists
paint, and on the back of the picture
were the captains name and that Of the
port from which he sailed. The paint
ing was forwarded to the little Amer
lean town, and it was found to be a
picture Of the Scarboro sea captain,
master of the lost vessel that had left
the harbor SO many years ago.-Kenne-

Ineligible to me.
Finally one of the women scooped
up double handful of the ever pres

the other woman, with wild shrek of
laughter. The dust covered woman re-
taliated by taking a tin pan she had
In her hand and, scooping up couple
Of quarts Of the dirty water In the gut

bailant with it, while all that part of
Kingston resOunded with the mad
laughter. The two women then closed
In on each other and proceeded to en-
gage In prolonged wrestle, which
resulted in both Of them falling to the
ground, where they rolled over and
over In cloud Of dust and finally
stood upon their feet, facing each other
In state Of dirt and disorder beyond

Fearing that they would make a sec.

Simple Rules of Health.

Never pick your teeth with any hard
substance. Bar the pick unless it is
made of soft white pine. Repeated use
of hard pick drives the gums away
from the teeth, and pretty soon you
are a victim of Riggs disease. After
the meal pick your teeth gently, then
rinse out your buccal cavity with all
antiseptlc solution of tepid water. Aft.
er rinsins use gargle to clean out the
throat-a solution of salt In water.
Wash off your tongue as far back as
you can reach and scrape the root of

Of silver made for the purpose. And,
above all, never put anything into your

1t Is never necessary for the tongue
to talk in order to tell that you are Ill
or the nature of your illness. The
tongue Of the dumb is quite MS elo-
quent when viewed by an experienced
physician as the tongue of the most
laxative person.
1t is n wonderful organ and should
be studied by all parents, not only on
their own account. but Oil account
Of their offspring. 1t aids in mastica-
ton of food, in drinking, in sucking, in
articulation, and contains in Its mu-
cous membrane the peripheral organs
Of taste. There are doctors who will
spend half an hour feeling of your
pulse and listening to your heart beats.
There are others who command,
Stick out your tongue" One glance
ut your tongue will to them tell the
tale.
Tremulousness of the tongue when
1t is protruded is Il positive sign of
various nervous diseases. But by far
the commoncst cause of this tremu-
lousness is an excessive Indulgence in
alcohol. There is an old rule about
looking into a mans eye to tell If he

Drink In some men eXcites the lachry-

watery. But all of us know men who
have watery eyes, yet never touch

cannot be concealed. If man seek

him stick out his tongue. If 1t trem-
