Not Afraid OF Coffins.

Some one who knows Chinese people
very well once told tale to show that
they do not permit themselves the luxury
OF nerves. She said she had gone one
day, before the Boxer riots, 10 visit an
old lady who lived out in the country far
beyond Weihsien. When the American
woman arrived the old lady was out, but
presently she came in and announced
that she had just been out watching the
men dig her grave, but as it began to
rain she had told them to wait for a
pleasanter day." She did not die for
years after that, but she had the comfort
ing assurance that her grave was ready
for her without any unseemIy haste when
ever she cared to occupy It.
The same American had the experience
OF sleeping in room with a very large
coffin when she was visiting aChinese
friend, and the next morning the old
grandfather OF the family called her at
tentioh to ifs exceIIences and explained
that his son had made him a present oi
it. "Isn't the wood fine p he asked ad-
miringly. at cost LOT of money!
Old people accept such presents as marks
of fiIial love, and not at all as hint foi
them TO occupy the coffin.

Dry-Eyed Madness.

One of the most curious facts connect
ed with madness is the utter absence of
tears amid the insane. Whatever the
form of madness, tears are conspicuous
by their absence, as much in the depres-
sion of melancholy or excitement of ma
MIA as in the utter apathy of dementia.
II patient in a lunatic asylum be dis
covered in tears it will be found that it is
one beginning 10 recover or an emotional
outbreak in an epileptic, who is scarcely
truly insane, while actual insane persons
appear to have lost the power of weep
ing. tits only returning reason which
can once more unloose the fountain Of
their tears.
Even when a lunatic is telling one in
fervid language how she has been depriv-
ed of her children or the outrages that
have been perpetrated upon herself her
eye is never even moist. The ready gush
of tears which accompanies the plant Of
the sane woman contrasts strangely with
the dry-eYed appeal OF the talkative luna
tic. II would, indeed, seem that tears
give relief to feelings which, when pent
up, lead to madness. II is one of the
privileges of reason TO be able to weep.
Amid all the misery OF the insane, they
find no relief In tears.

VIII Not Permit the Turkey Trot.

Bishop Theodore S. Byrne, Of the Cath
olic Church. OF Nashville, Tenn, has pub
licly announced that all women and girls
who persist in those "animal dances"
known as the tango" and the turkey
trot," and others OF similar character,
cannot be absolved from sin in the tribunal
of penance. The bishop said in his in
structions to the clergy Of his diocese !:
"By well instructed Catholics. these
principles are clearly understood, as they
are also by the children in our schools,
and only felt il necessary 70 request the
priests OF the diocese 10 call their atten-
ton TO them, in reference TO these vile
dances, and TO warn both young and old
that il they indulge In them Il would be
useless for them 10 90 TO confession In
the hope OF obtaining absolution, for
should any priest be so indiscreet as TO
attempt to absolve such penitent. the
absolution would be worthless, and the
confession would bring curse, rather
than blessing"

Arabia Likes Locusts.

LocustS are today eaten in Arabia pretty
much as they were in Biblical times.
Foreigners as we'll as natives declare that
they are really an excellent article OF
diet. They are best boiled.
The long or "hopping'' legs must be
pulled off and the locust held by wing
and dipped into salt before il is eaten.
AS to flavor, the insect is said to taste
like green wheat.
The red locust is more palatable than
the green kind. Some say that the fe-
male is red and the male green, but
others contend that all are green at first,
whatever the sex.
Locusts must be caught in the morn
ing, for then they are benumbed by the
cold and their wings are damp with the
dew, so that they cannot fly. They may
be found in Arabia clustered in hundreds
under the desert bushes, and they can be
literally shoveled into bag or basket.
Later the sun dries their wings and il
is hard to catch them. When in flight
they resemble what we call May flies
They fly sidewise. drifting, as it were,
before the wind.
They devour everything vegetable and
are devoured by everything animal
desert larks and buStards, ravens, hawks
and buzzards like them. The cames
MUNICH them in with their food. The
greyhounds ruin swapping after them all
