When Lovers Watched the Corpse

Most curious Of the old time super
stitions Of New England was the Gus
tom of requiring lovers to watch the
corpse. 1t associated the hopes Of
marriage with the silent vigil, was
poetic and has only disappeared from
the oldest towns within generation.
No obligation of the social conscience
was more scrupulously regarded than
that a dead body should never be left
alone at night. In the earliest days
the solemn watchers were old men and
women. deacons, selectmen, but as the
colonies grew honest lovers with plight
ed troths We're frequently selected for
these long vigils.

A CURIOUS CHIMNEY.

Brook Running Through It,
Who ever heard of a chimney two
miles high with a brook running
through it? Yet such Il chimney exists
in connection with the copper works
at Cwmavon. near Aberavon, in Gla-
morganshire. south Wales. This is how
it came to be built:
About sixty years ago the copper
smoke from these works was the
plague of the neighboring countryside.
1t settled upon and destroyed the
grass for twenty miles round, while
the sulphur and arsenic in the fumes
affected the hoofs of cattle, causing
gangrene. The owners OF the works
tried all sorts of devices to remedy the
trouble, but In vain. Finally Robert
Brenton. who was afterward a sue
cessful railway engineer in India. solv-
ed the problem.
The copper works are at the foot of
steep hill. Mr.. Brenton constructed
tiue, or chimney, running continu-
ously from the base to about a hun
dred feet above the summit, following
the natural slope of the ground. The
brick which lined 1t and of which 1t
was largely constructed was burned
close by. a small spring gushing out
near the summit of the hill was turned
into the chimney and allowed to flow
through almost its entire length to
condense the smoke. once a year it is
swept out and about a ton of precipi-
tated copper obtained. Its top can be
seen for between forty and fifty miles

CLEARING House Operations.

a clearing house is an agency estab-
lished by the banks of city to which
all checks drawn upon one city bank
and deposited in another are sent for
payment. Every morning there is a
clearance, or settlement, of accounts
in which the checks deposited in each
bank and the checks drawn upon each
bank are separately summed up and
compared. If there is more deposited
In bank than there is drawn upon it
the bank receives the difference in
cash. If the reverse is the case the
bank pays the balance instead of re-
ceiving it. The term clearance means
either the act Of settlement or the
sum Of all the checks presented for
payment. The amount of business
done by the clearing house is a pretty
sure index OF the general condition Of
business.-New York American.

A LESSON IN LOGIC.
Lord Erskine's Way With Ruffianly
Horse Beater.


1t is only within the memory of liv-
ing man that legislation has under
taken to protect domestic animals from
the cruelty of their owners. Owner
ship was held to be absolute by most,
but there was one man In England
hundred years ago who could demon
strate the untenable nature of this
theory. This man was Thomas Err
skine. one of the greatest lawyers and
advocates of his age. A tradition sur
wives at Hampstead. the residence of
Lord Erskine. which Charles G. Har-
per has put into his book, Rural
Nooks Round London" and which
shows how this legal authority would
have administered more recent laws.
1t is related that the celebrated Lord
Erskine. walking one day on Hamp-
stead heath, saw a ruffianly driver
shamefully thrashing a miserably Ill
cared for horse.
My lord demonstrated with the driver
on the cruelty of 1t, whereupon the
fellow retorted: Tt's my own. Mayn't
use it as | please?" Then he started
whacking the wretched animal worse
than ever.
Erskine. greatly annoyed, laid his

The Pitt Diamond.
While Pitt. the grandfather Of Lord
Chatham, was governor Of Fort St.
George in 1G9S he became acquainted
with n jewel merchant named jam
chun2, who brought diamond of
great size for sale. He asked $4,000
for 1t In the rough. 1t should, OF
course, have been bought on behalf of
the company, but Pitt, seeing money
in It, could not resist the temptation
Of making private bargain. He be-
the sum of f20,400, and he was quite
satisfied that he had behaved honor
ably when he paid the man, who on
his part was also content But the
diamond was known to be worth more
than Jamchund had received, and the
transaction gave rise TO a good deal
OF gossip, which in no way decreased
when later on Pitt had the stone cut
In England and sold 1t TO the regent of
France for f135,0O0. Even that enor-
nous sum did not represent Its true
value. The stone was set in the royal
crown of France 1t weighed 41C
