"A curious story is going the rounds
at Limoges, France. and has come to
light through an anonymous letter an.
nouncing certain alleged facts to the
police authorities. 1t is asserted that
In 1901 two shoemakers named Valette
and Tricard, while effecting some re.
pairs to the cellar of the house they
occupied. discovered a treasure con.
sisting of a sum of money and numer.
Gus valuable books.
The particular part of Limoges
where the residence of the shoemakers
was situated stands on the site of an
ancient monastery, and it is thought
that the treasure found may have
been hidden by the monks. Just what
truth there is in the reported discov.
cry is not yet known, but it is as
serted that the two shoemakers. who
were previously konwn to be in
straitened circumstances, have of re.
cent years lived on quite different
footing and have been able TO pur.
chase numerous house properties in
the district
Their landlord is now taking pro-
ceedings with view of testing the
accuracy Of the local gossip and of
claiming the treasure or at least a
part of It..

The secretary of the London Men.
deity society reports that street beg.
sing is on the increase. He has sta
tistics to prove his words, of course.
But surely every man who has pen.
ny to spare must have read or heard
by this time that he really does a
fellow-creature an ill-service when he
gives it to him for the asking, says
the Pail Mall Gazette.
1t is interesting to recall that
code OF European law in force for
centuries did actually make almsgiv-
Ing crime, always punished severely
with death in certain cases. But
this was 1000 years ago. before the
dawn of our happy civilization. 1t
must be confessed however, that
there was an appearance of common
sense about the famous Grajas code,
which ruled Norway, Iceland and
much OF England, doubtless, in its
time.
1t began by laying down strict rules
to make each family support its own
INDECENT members, or to show suffi-
cient cause for the failure. This is the
essential principle Of a sound system
of poor relief, which we have suffered
to lapse under the direction of prog
ress. Having thus provided for the
respectable class of paupers, as 1t may
be put briefly, the legislator could
deal firmly with rowing mendicants
and their abettors And he did.
1t is worth while to observe, how
ever, that the family pauper had a
guardian Or trustee, appointed by the
district council, who was responsible
for his decent subsistence; if this man
did not fulfill his duty or tried to e.
cape 1t. he incurred the terrible pen
atty called exclusion-conflneme in
his house for three years; anyone who
found him outside was free to kill
him.
They stood no nonsense in those
days. An able-bodied person who
begged was outlawed-equivalent to
sentence of death. Anyone proved to
have been wandering for Is days with.
out visible means of subsistence was
held to be a beggar, within the mean.

~. IouC IHc CLAUSE WHICH ulOSC lHloT'
ested us was that which decreed that
any man, whatever his station, who
gave money, or moneys worth, to a
vagrant, at the district assembly, OF
on his way thither, should be punished
with exclusion. The crime of almsgiv'
ing was well understood in those
days. Perhaps l should add that the

Minneapolis, Minn-For the first

on recent Sunday opened with re.
ligious services.
Before the Minneapolis and Kansas

ton faced each other at Nicollet park
a short sermon was delivered the T.,
900 fans who had assembled to wit
ness the conflict by the Rev. G. l..
Morrill,, well-known pastor of the
city.
Although Minneapolis is just now in
a heartbreaking finish for the league
championship, 1t was not due to this
that the minister was present. The
Rev. Mr. Morrill, is one Of the most
ardent enthusiasts in Minneapolis. II
he though that it would be necessary
to ask Divine aid for the success of
the ball club he would probably lift
up his voice.
But the pastor came to the field,
following the idea that. since fans
would not go to church on Sunday
the church should come to the fans.
The 1000 fans applauded Just as

EvIcT BODIES FROM GRAVES
Curious Custom Brought to Light BY
Investigation into Workings
of Paris System.

Paris.-Legal inquiry into disposi
ton of bodies where the leases of
graves have expired has led to the
revelation of a curious industry In
Paris The French system is to
lease graves for certain periods at the
end of which the silent occupant has
no claim on its resting place.
Seven years is the popular term
although first, second, or even third
class burials usually are for a longer
period. Investigation shows that
many bodies turned out of leased
graves are sent to a skeleton factory
at GO Rue Albert. The plant consists
of wooden shed inclosing a huge
vault above which rises tall brick
chimney. Three workmen are EN-
ployed They cast In by means of the
foot ladder reaching the top of the
great cauldron 600 pounds of human
bones daily The pot is kept sim
mering. A man explained recently:
1T spoils the skeletons to boil EN- too
much" The work of articulation and
finishing for the market is done else
where. In Paris the business is be-
lieved highly profitable as French
prepared skeletons are In great de-
mand for anatomical museums and
medical schools in all parts and espe-
cially in America.
