Churchyard Novelty.

In the churchyard of the little Mid dlesex village of Primer, England, there stands a monument quite distinct from all those which surround it. It consists of a tall. square pyramid overgrown with ivy, through the middle of which projects a coffin made of stone. This monument was raised by son to his parents, William and Agnes Loadon. as the inscriptions tell. They do not. however. tell why he chose to have his parents remains poised in mid air in the stone shell instead of being buried In the usual manner This curious act is accounted for in strange way. 1t appears that his parents came into some money which was to be theirs ''so long as theirNbodies were above the ground" When they died. therefore. in order that the money should not pass into other hands their son "buried" them in this curious manner, and, de- spite the apparent injustice, his object was attained.

He called again and wanted to take me up on the bonus clause, but I told him that my ideas had changed somewhat since the time chad seen me last. I told him I would not have anything more to do with him as he had been going about among his friends sian dering me and my partner and say ing that he had been flim-f1ammed in my office.
 Angry words flew hot and heavy O'Neil said, God help you if you ever try to trim me in the Sixth It so happened that we were arrayed against each other in a political fight and that whenever I my partner passed near the booths he would shout out there goes the double c-osser'', etc. He even went out into the street and offered to trim MT. Merritt. La ter I found out that O'Neil had con what could be done. I told MT. Gull hnan that the mortgages were all right as people were offering $3000 for the property, but O'Neil still held out. I told MT. Cullinan that would not have anything to do with O Neil as he was still continuing to islander me. I also informed MT. Cullinan that Brill said that he had a buyer a chance to get the property back.
 ''Mr. Brill came into my office at a later date to pay me flor services in looking into titles. The amount was SPA. This was all I ever received from Brill. I have never acted for him in more than two cases. or ever engaged him to act as an interpreter. MT. ONeil was to give me nothing if the property was not sold for more than s2,500. It can be seen that by the sale that I have never received any fees, although O'Neil came to me when the deal was consummated and gave me $10 which was not as a legal fee, but just for the assistance had given him.
 Two other witnesses for MT. F'allon A. J. Merritt and Augustus Bril- will be heard by the committee.

CAPTAIN SPRAGUE
 ASKS PAYMENT
Brother of Late B. J. Mur- tha Sends Proofs of Rela- tionShip.

Captain Daniel Sprague had for years taken care of William H. Hoy who, when he died, left a small estate which he had received after the death of his wife. There was no will, but the property was to go to the relatives of Hoy. Sprague sent in a bill for the care of Hoy which the administ-a- tors disputed. Today Judge of Pro- bate Nobbs appointed as commission CTS to hear claims Clifford B. Wilson, Joel G. Wooster and Frank L. Will der.
 When the estate of the late Bernard J.. Murtha was admitted to probate some time ago there were no claimants for the property. but since then cou- sins living in three States in this country have filed claims. This morn ing Judge of Probate Nobbs received, through the mails, the sworn affida- wits of James Murtha. who claims to be the brother of Bernard.

The Mole Ha. Eyes.

The majority of people believe that the mole is even "blinder" than the proverbial bat. but the naturalists know that such is not the case. Sir John Lubbock and Carl Hess. the latter noted German naturalist. by careful investigation proved that the mole has eyes which are as perfect as those of a horse or an elephant. They are very small optics. to be sure (only one milli- meter in diameter). but in the matter of reflection and refraction do not diff fer from the normal eyes in larger ami malS.

A Melancholy Career.

A young man who will some day in herit an enormous fortune and who Is being brought up as gentleman" was interviewed the other day. Among oth- CT things he said, If did not have my career cut out for me, If I were to lose my fortune. I should turn to the law and study some phases of 1t that inter est me greatly"
 Probably if the young man. were actually thrown on his own resources he would resort to something less en- tirely elegant" and more useful. But, that aside. what Is this ''career" that he fancies he has "cut out" for him? :? To take care of his property-that Is, to spend his life at an occupation similar to that of a watchman or a policeman, but far more mechanical and less ex- citing. What a miserable, what melancholy conception of a career! To spend ones life at just making money is poor enough use of the one chance to live: to spend 1t at watching heap of money-what dullness. what dreari- ness!

Windmill. n. Newspapers.

In Holland births, marriages and deaths. instead of being recorded in newspapers, are indicated by windmills. When a miller gets married he stops his mill with the arms of the wheel in slanting position and with the sails unfurled. His friends and guests ire quently do likewise with their mills. in token of the ceremony. To indicate a birth the wheel is stopped with the arms in slanting position, but at a more acute angle than for marriage and with the two upper sails unfurled. Should a miller die the sails of his mill are all furled, and the wheel is turned round until the arms form an upright cross. in which position they are left until after the funeral has taken place.

The First Muns.

The early mufrs were small and made of satin or velvet, lined with fur. The leopard skin Came in with Queen Anne. There is print of an Elizabethan lady with a small muf hanging from her girdle. Before this date it was probably looked upon as an eccentric novelty. at least in Eng land. A full century before Venetian grand dame had carried her lapdog in her muf, fashion that continued for long season and found its way into
 France. In Paris muffs for this ex' press purpose, chiens manchons, as they were styled. could be bought iD 1892 at the establishment of the De moiselles Guerin, rue de Bac. French sumptuary laws condescended to no tice such minor details as the color of a muff. The bourgeois was obliged to restrict himself to somber black. The noble might please himself.
