PREYED ON THE DEAD

In Great Britain Comparatively q Short

In the days of the Resurreetionists
in Great Britain various means were

churchyards, while burying places
were often made unapproachable by
the erection of massive ratings. The
services of the local blacksmith were
also requisitioned to fasten strong
bars OF iron over the coffins to pre-
vent the possibility of the body being
uplifted from its resting place.
In many churchyards watch houses
were erected, at the door OF which
after an interment careful watch and
ward was kept, and not a few tales
were told Of mysterious beings sur

depredations
In a few places mort safes or dead
houses were constructed in which the
dead bodies were allowed to remain
several weeks or until such length of
time as they were no longer service
able for dissecting purposes. An in
teresting specimen Of the above is to
be seen in the quaint churehyard az
the ruined Church of Cowie, near
, Stonehayen. This was a fayorite
haunt of the Resurrectionists from ABB

The corpses were conveyed in dog
carts to the Granite City, With a
view to escape detection the lifeless
figures were clad once more in the
garb of the living and placed on the
conveyance in sitting posture.

PeriIs of the Late Afternoon.

Late In the afternoon is the peril
GUS hour for all day workers Not
only do statistics prove it, but there
is an easily understandable physiolog-
ical explanation for it For it is to-
ward the end of the days work that
fatigue comes on, and tired bodies
and brains inevitably lead to mistakes
and accidents.
Bank clerks" says the Medical
Record, make most of the errors in
the late afternoon: wherefore there is
now early closing of these institu-
tons, since bankers have found their
employees mistakes too expensive for
the maintenance of longer hours. Ev'
cry one knows what dreadful calamity
must be feared when railway men
work too many hours through many
days. As to druggists, to err with
perhaps fatal consequences) in the
filling of prescription is indeed hui
man and hardly blameworthy in a
clerk who must be attentively at his
post almost two-thirds of the twenty
four hours, Among Industrial work
ers the desire for drink has often
sprung from sheer physical eXhaus-
ton"

sudden exodus, about a block away
from the theater, but that it was not
more attractive than our show was
proved by the quick return of those
men. They were members Of the vol

Considerable Mystery About Woman
Ill in Bellows Falls Hospital

BELLOWS FALLS, April %. - The
condition of the woman who was taken
to the Rockingham hospital yesterday
afternoon remains about the same and
her recovery is still doubtful. The
woman, who saws she is Mrs. A. J.
Barnard. is very reticent, and the po-
lice have had difficulty in securing
information from her She says that
she lived in Rutland two or three
years ago and that her husband is now
in Montreal. When she was tawen from
the room of the Polopolovs brothers
but few rags and her condition was
pitiable.
She was arrested Tuesday after
noon in North Walpole and after be
ing confined a few hours was released.
She says she arrived in Bellows Falls
about o clock Tuesday evening and
walked the streets until 3 clock
Wednesday morning, when she felt so
iii that she was forced to 90 to a
hotel and hire a room. She registered
as Mrs. Smith. Montreal She remained
in the hotel until 10 o'clock that
morning and then walked about town
several hours. Her clothing was torn
and was poor protection. In the even
ing, she tells the police, she felt ex-
hausted and being without funds went
in the Greeks house, finding the door
unloc ked, and laid down. She was
found by the brothers when they went
to the house at clock They mott
+ fed the police and Chief W. ). Sever.
ance and Angus McKinnon went to the
room and found her lying on the bed
/ unconscious. She was taken to the no
tel and in the afternoon was taken to
/ the hospital.
There are many marks and bruises
on her body but she refuses to tel
the police how they came there an6
as she is in such n weakened condi
tion that they do not press her fo1
particulars.

was surprised by a man who walked
into his Office and handed him two let
tiers which were mailed to him in the
Brattleboro postofiice several months
earlier. One contained a check and
the other a statement. both of which
he had asserted with positivcuess that
he never received. Upon inquiry II
was brought out that the man found
the letters in the pocket of an over
coat which he bought of the said we'll
