DEATHS HEAD IN THE PULPIT

An extraordinary story comes from
Geblngcn, a small town not very far
from Metz Il reads like a parody OF
Hamlet" in the pulpit The priest
Of this place had been worked into
state Of great indignation by the loose
attitude towards sacred things dis
played by the youth Of both sexes be-
longing TO his parish. A short time
ago when mass was over the priest
appeared in the pulpit determined 10
read his flock a severe lesson. From
under his robe he produced a skull
and. to the terror Of the congregation
held 1t up before them. Then he be-
gan TO address the grim relic.
Art thou the skull Of a maid or OF
a youth?" he asked. "Art thou hus-
band or a wife? Didst thou live IN
Geblingen? Are any of thy relatives
in this church? Vert thou a drunk.
ard? Art thou in heaven or in hell!
Then after a pause he again address
ed the skull. III thou art in hell
give me no answer" The preacher
received no answer a proof that the
former owner Of the skull was In hell.
Weak-minded people tainted, and at
the conclusion of the sermon the con-
gregation filed out pale and excited
and not likely to forget that particu'
lar sermon for a long time.

BOYS EXTRAORDINARY CRIME

An extraordinary crime has been
committed in a country place in
France by a small boy, nine years Of
age, who killed his baby brother only
ten months old because, he said, the
baby cried too much. The two chill
dren were in a farmhouse, whilst
the mother was lying on the floor un-
conscious from drink The boy was
in another room with the baby. A
neighbor happened to pass, when the
boy ran out to him, and said, Il think
that baby is dead" When the neigh
Dor entered he found the child dead in
the cradle with its skull smashed,
and about twenty knife-cuts. The
boy first said that the baby had fallen
and struck its head against the wall,
but when closely questioned the blurt-
ed out that he had killed his little
brother. He was trying to sleep, he
said, when the baby started to cry.
He was unable to quiet it, and then
he got angry, and struck it on the
head with a hammer, besides stab
bing it with a table knife all over the
body.

CAT NURSING A RAT

Cats and rats are commonly regard
ed as inevitable enemies, but a story
comes from Scotland of an instance in
which this hatred has given place to
warm affection. The other day while
potatoes were being lifted in Glen
feshire Forest, near Kingussie, one of
the workers came on rats nest con-
tanning number Of young ones. These
were promptly dispatched with the ex-
ception of one, which the finder re-
tanned. Shortly afterwards the baby
rat was adopted by cat which at
the time was nursing kittens. Instead
of devouring the rat, as one would
expect, pussy quietly gave 1t place
beside her own offspring, bestowing
upon the newcomer as much care and
affection as she formerly devoted to
her own family. At the time of writ
ing the rat was still under pussy's
maternal care.

had fixed his eyes on the orchids, and

HEREDlTY
Can Be Overcome in Cases.

The influence of heredity cannot, Of
course, be successfully disputed, but
it can be minimized or entirely over
come in some cases by correct food
and drink. A Conn lady says:
For years while 1 was a coffee
drinker I suffered from bilious at
tacks Of great severity, from which
used to emerge as white as a ghost
and very weak. Our family physi-
clan gave me various prescriptions for
improving the digestion and stimulat-
ing the liver, which I tried faithfully
but without perceptible result.
HE was acquainted with my fam
lily history for several generations
back, and once when / visited him he
said: If you have inherited one of
those torpid livers you may always
suffer more or less from its inaction.
We can't dodge our inheritance, you
know
'T was not so strong a believer in
heredity as he was, however, and, be-
ginning to think for myself, I conclud-
ed to stop drinking coffee, and see
what effect that would have. feared
it would be a severe trial to give 1t
UP, but when l took Postum and had
it well made, it completely filled my
need for a hot beverage and l grew
very fond Of it.
Il have used Postum for three years,
using no medicine. During all that
time I have had absolutely none Of
the bilious attacks that l used to suf-
fer from, and | have been entirely
free from the pain and debilitating ef-
fects that used to result from them.
1.-THE change Is surely very great.
and I am compelled to give Postum
the exclusive credit for it." Name

DWARF AND GIANT BEES

In some of the East Indian islands
and on the mainland of Hindustan are
to be found the smallest race Of honey
bees in the world. These dwarf honey
collectors are known to entomologists
as Apis fiorea. Their honey combs are
no larger than a child's hand, and the
cells are about the size Of a small
pin head. This honey is excellent, as
is the wax. The little creatures build
the combs on the branch Of low tree,
and as they have not to provide for
winter they work all the year through,
raising broods like themselves.
In this same land there is a race
of giant bees, Apis dorsata, as large as
field crickets. These monsters Of the
bee world build honey combs that are
from six to seven feet in length, four
or more feet in width, and which weigh
from 300 to 400 each.

NEW USE FOR BEEHIVE HAT.

Two young smartly dressed Partisan
ladies, wearing large beehive hats, ar
rived at Bellegarde the other night in
the Geneva-Paris express. They de.
clared nothing and ostentatiously
opened their baggage at the depot.
An official, however, noticed that they
seemed to experience much difficulty
in balancing their large hats on their
heads, and the ladies were requested
to pass into private room, where
their headgear was examined. The
roofs of the beehives contained not
honey, but saccharine packed in an
alright box fitted ingeniously into the
hat, On the ladies paying heavy
fine they were allowed to continue
the journey minus the saocharine. but
retaining their hats, which might have
been confiscated also.
