We would notice their clothes and the
quiet way they play. They always have
tea, and they serve tea when their
guests come and when they go.
But, look at the way that lady carries

In the Old Germnnic Wi1derness

- nv >" ~SA
Leaving Mummelsee on a misty
morning, you enter a green underworld
of strange dew-bediamoned brilliance,
skirt the head of a deep southwark
looking valley and emerge upon 4
sunny open plateau beyond Eckle and
look down upo Wildsee. circled by the
dark pines of an untouched forest thai
stretches ava to the blue and distant
hills. 1t is easy here to imagine your.
self back in the heart of the old Ger
manic wilderness, in the heroic days
when Hagen slew Siegfried with a
towards blow. The morning sun glints
upon bright spear tops among the trees
and the wind brings snatches Of rough
war songs shouted by barbarian voices.
Your heart swells with the lust of bat
tie and the chase, and if you have
German blood in our veins it calls
back through the dark middle ages to
that dim and mystic youthday of the
world When heroes met at the Raven
ma Schlacht. Within the hour you
find yourself back in the twentieth
century among motor cars drawn up
beside the hosiery at Rubenstein, where
the Hohenweg drops into the
place and crosses the government mac
adam before climbing the steep side
of the Rothe Schliffkopf.-From "A
Black Forest Pathway" by Frederick

DEAD WIVES COME IN HANDY.
Used to Bring in Comfortable ln-
come for Bcreaved Hubbies.

Used to Bring in Comfortable In
come for Bereaved Hubbies.
More than once has a dead wife been
/ source of income to the bereaved hus-
band. A Kansas ~storekeeper is ,ne for
tunate possessor of a petritied wife.
Though he has taken to himself a sec
ond partner he still carefully preserves
the indurated form of his first wife,
which, at his present spouse's sugges-
ton, he keeps in his shop to attract
custom. This decided draw would
seem, however, to have aroused the
envy of his neighbors, for already sew
eral, though hitherto futile. attempts
have been made to deprive him of his
treasure.
This sharp tradesman had a proto-
type in Martin Van Burchell, a quack
doctor and dentist of considerable no
toriety in the reign Of George III. He
could likewise lay claim to some orig
inality, for when his wife died he re-
solved to utilize her for the purpose
Of increasing his practice. He accord
ingly had her embalmed and placed in
his parlor, where she was on view to
SuSu pdllC1llS d. aNOlSd lliAi 1 AN
patronage. She was a decided draw.
When in the flesh, Julia Pastrana,
the celebrated "Nondescript and Beard
ed Lady" was without question a
source of income to her husband, Mr..
Lent, to whom, too, she proved, when
dead, scarcely less remunerative. Her
demise, which ook place at st. Peters
burg, IA followed by the prompt sale
of her body for $500. to Prof, Suckaloff.
