A Tap from the Dead.

A remarkable incident, bearing al.
most on the supernatural, was related
at an inquest at Whitley Bay, Eng,
upon the body of Henry F%airbairn,
which was found on the beach there
n Sunday morning recently.
The widow related how, when her
husband did not return at the usual
time on Saturday night, she deter.
mined to sit up, and wait for him,
About 4 a. m. she was sitting reading
a newspaper. and "dozing" alternately.
when she was startled by hearing
a gentle knocking at the front door.
This was followed" said Mrs. Fair.
BARN, "by a t%ap-tarring at my bed.
room window. | at once wen out,
thinking it was my husband. but ]
could not see anyone. After that
became very much alarmed about nv
husband"
1t was high tiGe 1t AVhitney Bay
about midnight on the Saturday in
question and the fact that Fairbairn's
body was found only a few yards he
low the high water mark shows that
the man must have been dead al
least four hours before his wife heard
the knocking at the .oor and the tan
ping at the window.

The Shrines of Chill,

At various places in Chile, dotted up
and down the countryside, may be
found many small shrines. Some con,
stst Of a small, hut-like arrangement,
others are mere holes cut into neigh,
boring rocks; while others, again, are
nothing o than a hollow pile of
stones. They usually mark the spot
where som one has met his death by
violence, and the shrine is built by the
[pious friends Of the deceased, who
keep candles burning in it to light the
departed soul on its way. One little
cement hut which l saw was rather a
meat one Of it's kind, and must have
taken some trouble to set up, as it is
placed about ten miles from the near,
lest township and OF a very bad road.
The melted wax from the candles has
flowed out down the side of the hill.
The inscription on the cross reads:
I'm remembrance of Richard Fuenza.

Tired of It,

John Mitchell, discussing the shirt.
wafst-makers' strike. said with a
smile:
The employer must remember that
working for someone else, for a pit
lance. is not half as much fun as
working for ones self and getting rich.
But too many employers are like
the hoatswain of the Sea Horse.
There was a chap on the Sea Horse
whose duty it was to clean out the
quarters of the 5000 pigs that formed
the ships cargo. This man, natural
ly was kept busy day and night.
But one morning. on toward the
middle of the voyage the captain no.
ticed the pig gentleman leaning list
lessly, pipe in mouth, over the rail. So
the captain summoned the boatswain.
Boats be said, what's the matter
with that pig Teller? Why amt he
workin'?'
THE boatswain looked at the spir-
itless pig attendant. shook his head.
and answered in puzzled tones:
Beloved If | know what's come
over that man lately, sir. Somehow he
don't seem to take no pleasure in his
work."

To Remove Whitewash.

When the ceilings or walls of rooms
have been covered with several sue.
cessfve coats of whitewash and this
withstands the scraping process, com.
monty applied with a stout broom or
scraper, the following treatment will
be found successful in removing it,
Take three pints of flour and beat
smooth with cold water; then pour
boiling water to it until it is cooked
into a fairly thick paste. Dissolve one
pound of alum in hot water and pour
it into the paste. Apply this over
the adhering whitewash on walls or
ceiling, being careful to cover it thor,
oughly. Then close the room, and let
1t stand over night. In the morning
the bits of lime which may be left
clinging to the walls are easily
brushed off. Before papering a room
all nail holes and cracks in the plaster
should be filled with a stiff paste OF
plaster of paris mixed with water. This
should be allowed to dry before the
paper is applied.

Pastors Puzzle Made Plain.

The pastor of a West Philadelphia
church was very much surprised and
pleased)last Sunday night when in the
course 'of the service a crowd of per
sons fully 40 strong entered and seat
ed themselves in the real pews. The
service continued with the clergyman
congratulating himself on his unusual
ly large congregation when suddenly
the door opened and a man stuck in
his head.
Here she comes" he announced in
a loud whisper.
Instantly the late corners arose en-
masse and rushed to the door. The
pastor was $50 perplexed at the strange
occurrence'that after service he spoke
to one of the vestry who had been
standing by the door.
Don't you know what happened?"
asked the vestryman. l%aughingly.
NO." answered the clergyman. "but
I would like to-"
why a a broke down right in
front of the church. Everybody got
out after a few minutes, and. seeing
a chance to sit down, they all came in
here, leaving one man on watch"

Fattest People In Europe.

Prof. Lyde, in a recent lecture, de-,
scribed the Danes as the latest
people in Europe. The pre-eminence'
he ascribes to their lethargic ways
and their habit of munching sand
witches all day long. But visitors to
Denmark have noticed that even tho
factory hands, whose hours are much
longer than in this country, and who
cannot be accused Of lethargy, are.
generally speaking, %noticeably stout,
The large consumption Of cream NAV

Dating a Skull.

The righteousness in placing the
date of the Gibraltar skull at 500, 900
years ago lies in the fact that the
basis of argument thus laid def1es rea.
:sonable dispute. Working from SO
long ago it is manifestly difficult, il
not utterly hopeless, to come to more
reasonable things. If the life.date of
an unearthed skull is placed, say, at
10000 years ago. some one may rise
and remark that it would be more con-
;servative to date the find at, say. $500
years ago. But what would be thought
of an a~rchaeologist or any other sort
of "gist" who methaphorically stared
Prof. Keith in the face and asserted
that instead of 600, 900 years ago, the
Gibraltar woman whose skull is under
observation lived perhaps only $3.50
years ago? The. excellence of the
Keith hypothesis Qf one may call it
that. is apparent.

OF WONDERS
FOLLY TO TALK OF THE MoNoT.
oNN OF LIFE.
Surely There Can Be No Excuse for
Even a Moment Of Dizziness Of
onetWiIl But Pause, and
Consider.

There are not a few women in the
world to-day who complain bitterly
that their life is i%nsufferably dull.
They are almost bored to death with.
the monotony of their existence.
Inc consequences of a dull life are
serious, for dullness p%ropagates a host
OF evils such as Islander, malice. and
strife. IF the brain sows not corn.
1t plants thistles." !.
When l hear" said a public man,
that any n has been speaking i'll
OF me behind my back, I am not angry
with him, but I merely say to myself,
How dull he must have been to have
had nothing better to dot" And yet
no intelligent person should live a
one-toned (monotonous) life. Life
m%onotonous! when we are every mo-
ment touching this wonderful world
OF i've notwithstanding, seeing, smell
Ing, tasting, feeling. Life monoton-
ous! when u %sojourn in this world
Of which, as Goodwin Smith said, we
know as little as the mole knows of
the world of VISIONS so brief, and so
uncertain. Life monotonous! in a
world of some 1900, OO0, 900 living hui,
man beings, not to mention the an;
i1mal creation with its wealth of intel,
!l1gence. Life m%onotonous! with such
an inlook! outlook! uplook! Surely
there Is no excuse for dull monotony
I'm such a world, and. above all, in
such an age as ours.
However restricted may be the cir
,cumstances of the daily life, it is pos.
sible to maintain among least things
what Wordsworth calls IAN under,
sense of gr~eateness."
: This is an absolute and never-fail-
ing cure for dullness and monotony.
The cultivation of ideas is the real
charm of life. No life can be COM
monplace and uninteresting where
the mind is kept uppermost.
An idea is still the alchemist that
turns the world to gold. However
petty may be a woman's occupation
and let it be remarked in passing that
1t often calls for greatness to do lit
tie things-she can, according to her
capacities (and capacity increases by
:cultivation) revel in what Macaulay
calls "the infinite wealth of the men
tai world" There is no irksome
sameness, no want of variety, in the
thought world.
No two days of any intelligent life
ought to be exactly similar. Every
day should be. a fresh beginning.
Every day should be enriched with
little excellences which are. after all,
so great!
Fear not" said the late Cardinal
Newman, "lest thy life come to an
end, but rather lest it never have a
beginning"

FEAR RETURN OF THE DEAD
Significance Of Strange Funeral Rites
That Prevail Among Un-
civilized Peoples.

Nearly all savage people (and not .
rev civilized ones). dread lest the
dead should return to trouble them.
For this reason an Australian tribe
VIII always desert a camp. in which a
man has died, and erect new miamias
at some distant spot. Among many
African tribes a hole is knocked in the
wall of a hut in which q man dies, and
the corpse Is carried through that in.
stead Of through the doorway, so that
the spirit of the dead man. may not
be able to find its way back. Some
Bornean tribes have a similar dread.
n elaborate precautions are taken
to prevent the dead from returning to
n living. At the graveyard a stick.
cleft In the shape of a v, Is placed
In the ground, and through this the
funeral procession passes in single
lille. AS soon as the coffin has been
placed on the stage erected for the
purpose, the people commence their re-
turn, following one another's heels as
quickly as possible, saying as they re-
pass through the V-shaped stick:
Keep back, close out all things evil
and sickness" When the whole par
ty has passed through, the cleft ends
OF the stick are tied together, and this
Is then regarded as "a wall that sep
arates the living from the dead" By
so doing they believe that they shut
out the spirit of the deceased. They
believe that the spirit Of the dead is
not aware that life has left the body
until a short time after the coffin has
been taken ITO the graveyard. and then
not until the spirit has had leisure to
notice the CLOTHES. weapons, and 9TH
er art1cles|belonging to it's earthly es-
tate, which are placed with the coffin.

OLD STYLES ARE BACK AGAIN

New York.-Feminine styles this

HEREDITARY IDEA OF SUICIDE
Proof That Mania Runs In Families
Has Been substantiatcd by
Investigation.

With the object of showing the con-
Sequences of intermarriage where a
suicidal faint exists, and the necessity
for imposing some restraint. the Men
del Journal. the organ of the Mendel
society, gives an instance of the de.
velopment Of suicidal mania through
four or five generations.
Two families lived In the same vii
lage n the tradition Is that one fam
lly was addicted to suicide by drown.
ing and the other by shooting. The
tradition is traced back at least five
generations, but the actual records OF
the first generation were not kept
In the second generation one in.
dlv'dual committed suicide by drown.
Ing, and in the shooting family there
was a case Of suicide by shooting. Of
that generation a member of the
shooting family married one of the
drowning family. and of the issue of
the marriage one person committed
suicide by shooting and another by
drowning. There were two normal
members of the two families who mar
rled. making what is called a cousin
marriage. OF the offspring of this
unlon-being the fourth generation in
order-one was insane, with suicidal
mania, and is still living; two brothers
drowned themselves, a fourth poisoned
himself, a fifth shot himself and a
sixth poisoned himself. A seventh was
insane, with suicidal mania. and there
are three other normal members of
the family who are still living,
The suicidal mania persisted in 9TH
er branches of what is called the
shooting family, and in one of these
branches in the third generation there
was a member who shot himself. His
son also committed suicide in the
same way and a third was insane with
suicidal mania, Two sisters were nor.
mai, but in the next and present gen
Grafton all the Offspring have had sui.
