FEARED LIVING BURIAL.

A weird incident occurred lately in the cemetery of Pausa, a village in Saxony. The clergyman of the parish was preaching a funeral ser- mon at the grave of seven-year- old girl when he astonished the mourners by asserting that he had dreamt that the girl was not really dead. The clergyman called upon the pall-bearers to open the coffin, and although they at first declined final ly yielded. The clergyman ap- preached the corpse, but after wait ing in vain for the body to show signs of life, allowed the coffin to be lowered into the grave.

CHANNEL SOUNDINGS.

The fog was dense, the ships en- zines had stopped and the passengers were beginning to feel nervous. All except one old lady; she was highly indignant at the apparest waste of time.
 "Why don't you proceed?" she de- handed of the captain.
 Cant see up the channel, madam," he replied.
 But, captain" she persisted, q can see the stars overhead"
 "Yes, ma'am," agreed the captain, "but until the boilers bust we ain't going that way.'-Bellman.

CONFUSING THE PUBLIC MIND
Astronomers Are More Than Usually Imaginative in Their Theories
 About the Universe.

The astronomers are showing more than their customary activity of imagination just now, and as they differ fatly in their conclu- sions, the public mind is confused about what to believe in the way of news from space. It used to be said that astronomy was an exact science, about which all controversy was closed, and this was true of the period when astronomy was confined to its mathematical aspects. But since the coming of Camille Flam- marion some 30 years ago the im- aginative school of astronomers has claimed possession of the field, and speculation as to what happens in the exterior universe has monopo- lized the public interest.
 Professor See of the Mare Island observatory told the American Phil osophical society the other day that living beings exist wherever a star wrinkles in the sky" On the other hand, Professor Aiken of Berkeley insists that Mars is not inhabited, and the same learned conclave where Professor See expended his theory of the universe Professor Svante Au- guste Arrhenius of Sweden told the assembled savants that all this stimulating speculation about canals on Mars was nonsense. The planet was too cold to support life, and the streaks which Flammarion first con- tended were canals are nothing bet ter than the scars left by earth quahes.
 The processes by which the rival astronomers arrived at their con- clusions were not disclosed, and the unlearned are invited to take their choice between them without preju- dice.

DEEP MOURNING FOR DOGS
Dress in Black When Their Pets Die.

Deep mourning for pet dogs is the latest feminine fad in London. Deep mourning among human be- ings to certain extent has gone out of fashion. Deep mourning for dogs is taking its place.
 A London woman tells how, hav- ing advertised the loss of her dog, she was surprised and shocked to receive the same evening an envelope in mourning nearly an inch deep. Inquiring of her veterinary surgeon what this meant, she was told that mourning for dogs by memorial cards, with deepest black edging, and even by wearing black clothes, is becoming a definite fashion.
 "In one instance" he said, a clergyman accompanied a dog to its burial. Many smart women owners now intimate the death of pet dog by means of mourning cards.
 "They use the deepest of borders sometimes three-quarters of an inch deep-on their envelopes, and have special mourning cards printed of the same pattern as those used when human beings are concerned" {"

RECORD IN PIANO PLAYING.

The Paris newspapers record a feat of endurance on the part of one Thorpe, described as native of Bo- hemia, who played the piano for thirty hours and fifteen minutes without stopping. It seems that there is a record even in this kind of folly and that it was formerly held by MT. Waterbury, whose per formance extended over twenty-eight and half hours. The report states that Thorpe was fed and given stim- ulants during the entertainment. But nothing is said about the audi ence, as to whether they brought their beds or took their enjoyment in parts.

Free Remedy
 Helps ChiIdrell

Many a mother has learned of way Of avoiding sickness in her family, es- pecially among the children, by the use of free sample bottle of the ia nous laxative, Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This offer of the doctors to send free sample bottle has been re- sponded to by thousands of women in all parts of America.
 This pr. Caldwells Syrup Pepssn is a truly wonderful laxative and especially adapted to the needs of babies and children because it is pleasant to taste and no child will refuse it. Then, it is mild and never gripes. It is all that child's remedy should be, though it is good laxative for the whole family because it is effective at all ages. It is simply not dynamic like salts. pills and powerful cathartics, which should not be given to children anyway.
 Nine times out of ten when a child complains and you don't know exactly laxative-its bowles are constipated. Syrup Pepsin will correct the trouble. tone up the child and soon it will be well again-over night wonderful re- Pepsin.
 You can buy it of any druggist at fifty cents or dollar a bottle. the lat ter being the family size, but you are invited to make a test of it first at the doctors expense. Send him your ad- dress today and he will send you free sample bottle direct to your home. Then when satisfied buy it of your fav- orite druggist.
 pr. Caldwell does not feel that the purchase of his remedy ends his obli gation. He has specialized in stomach, liver and bowel diseases for over forty years and will be pleased to give the reader any advice on the subject free of charge All are welcome to write him. Whether for the medical advice or the free sample address him pr. W. R. Caldwell. 402 Caldwell building, Monticello. III.

EARTH IS BEING WORN AWAY
Surface of Country Is Removed at Rate of an Inch Every
 76o Years.

Because of the erosions of numer- ous drainage basins of the United States the surface of the country is being removed at the average rate of an inch in every 760 years. That Is rather comfortable to know. It will take a great many years before the land is again sunk beneath the ocean. The geological survey is sponsor for this information.
 It says additionally that, although the amount may appear trivial, it is stupendous when considered as a total. The Mississippi river carries annually to the sea 136, 100000 tons of dissolved matter and $40, ,500,000 tons of suspended matter, and of this total the Ohio river carries S3,- 350,000 tons and the Missouri river twice as much. The Colorado river, which has built up for itself vast delta, brings down more suspended matter than any other river in the United States, delivering annually 3S7 tons for each square mile of it's drainage basin, or total of 100,- TAO, ,000 tons.
 The rivers of the United States carry to tidewater every year 270,- 000,000 tons of dissolved matter and 513,000,000 tons of suspended mat ter. This total of 7S3,000,00 tons represents more than $50, 100000 cubic yards of rock, or 610,000,000 yards of surface soil. If this erosive action, says the geological survey, had been concentrated on the Isth- mus of Panama at the time of the American occupation, it would have excavated the prism for an S5-foot level canal in 73 days.
 CUTTING NEW TEETH AT ss.
 Although eighty-nine years old, Henry Edleman, formerly resident of Peterborough, now living at Glad wyne, Montgomery county, just across the Schuylkill ricer from Manayunk, has cut eleven new teeth in the last three years. In addition to the new molars which have come to him in his old age his sight has also greatly improved. While he wore glasses constantly for the last few years, he is now able to read the finest print without any artificial aid.--Fhiladelphia Times.
