THE APPROPRIATE
NOURIsHMENT,
Story Of a Stubborn Jurynan
and an lrate Foreman.


Lawyers in attendance at the recent
convention Of the Wisconsin State Bar
association told lot of stories, for the
most part of SLOPPY sort. This one
was told by Walter II. Bender in the
course of his response to a toast at the
banquet:
THE jury had been out for thirty
weary hours. and every ballot showed
eleven votes for conviction and one
for acquittal The jurors labored and
argued with the odd man, but he was
stubborn as a mule
By and by court bailiff knocked
at the door and asked how things were
going. The foreman replied that there
seemed little prospect of an agreement
being reached for some time.
Well. suppose might as well
bring your supper, said the bailiff.
Shall bring twelve suppersg
!. No. replied the foreman angrily.
Bring eleven suppers and one feed Of
hay. Milwaukee Free Press

nation at South Norwalk. Conn.

SOUTH NORwALl<, Conn.,, March L.
His physicians pronounced William Shir-
divene dead seven days ago and arrange
ments for his funeral were begun.
He still lives. although the same physi-
clans declare he has not drawn nor ex-
haled breath in all the seven days;
there has been no respiration in that
time.
The doctors say il is an astounding
case of suspended animation. When they
irrita:e nerve center or a great nerve
in Mr.. Shirdivenne's body with needle
some OF the muscles supplied by the
nerve respond to the irritation. So the
muscles are alive.
Besides. the deteiiorative changes that
take place soon after death are lacking.
Shirdivene Is in the same physical con-
dition as before his demise" But he an
swers to none Of the severest tests to
determine whether or not man lives
except to nerve irritation.

places" he writes. 'sraveyards occupy

MI Clark has suggested very interest
ing topic. FOR there are many curious bur
ial customs in the different countries o.
the world. For example. in some of the
South American cities the cemeteries are
surrounded by nigh walls which are
honeycombed with gigantic pigeon
holes nine feet deep by three feet wide
and high, having marble sabs with which
they can be sealed These pigeon holes
can be rented by the year or for term
OF years or permanently secured by pur-
chase, and the collins of the dead are
deposited in them while upon the slab
at the end the eptaph is inscribed In
case CT any failure to pay thu rent the
delinquent is advertised and then after

banker and clubman, whom he found

Citation were ii suggested.
mo move for reconciliation has
been made said Mrs. Cudahy The
stories printed in the newspapers are
most unkind and unfounded A recon-
Citation must be-, mutual. 1t takes two
to bring it about.
Il have not made a move in that di-
rectiOn. For Mr.. Cudahy / have the
highest regard He is the father of
my four babies. That makes all the
difference in the world. A woman
never loses all feeling for the father
of her children, no matter what the

Granite Boulders for Tombs.

One of the strangest cemeteries in the
capital of Bosnia. the slope of a
mountain called Trebezic. large area
is covered with granite boulders which
were dropped there ages ago by the melt
ing of some glacier. This ground was
purchased by the Jews of Bosnia who
have used the bolders for tombstones
engraving the eptaphs upon them and
| eXcaVating under them graves in which
to place TIE bodies of their dead.
Another place of unusual interest is the
Jewish cemetery at Prague Bohemia
which was described in a recent letter
from that city and is the scene of thrill
ing situation in Marion era Words novel;
The Witch of Prague.
In Egypt the dead are buried in the
deserts, but in Alexandria city are cata-
combs which some force of nature has
eaten out of the interior of the rocks that
have been used for five Thousand years
Dutch windmils built by Napoleon to
grind corn for his troops when he &C.
cupied Egypt stand over the catacombs
and give a curious aspect to the land
scape.
MohammeGan cemeteries are always
badly kept. There appears to be no re-
spect for the dead, ard although great
deal of money is spent for tombstones
and mausoleums, they are not kept in
repair and the surface of every Mo-
hammeGan cemetery / have ever seen
was covered with fragments of carved
marble shattered pedestals and broken
columns.
Covered With Cashmere Shaw1s.
An exception should be made OF the
tombs of the prophets and of Saladin. the
great defender of Islam, who drove the
crusaders from Palestine. He was the
create st hero OF romance and chivalry
in the nliGdle ages and Damascus was his
capital His tomb is kept with religious
care ard is covered with cashmere
shawls of exquisite texture.
