May Be a Romney.

A recent picture find in England is
believed to be lost Romney, and the
advertising it is now getting may en-
able the finder" to sell it, because Of
it's historical naughtiness, at great
price. The story goes that-its owner
bought the picture, torn and dirty,
from a dealer who thought so little
of it that he let 1t go for IL shillings
(about $2.75), and that he had already
refused $4,000 for it. The picture has
been declared TO be a study of the
notorious Lady Hamilton, mistress Of
the immortal Nelson, taken in the
nude The subject is a female figure
reclining upon drapery of which one
part is raised above the head by up
lifted arms, throwing a soft shadow
on the face and bust. 1t is alleged
that, though no signature Of Romney
appears, there has been found a rec
ord that he did once paint such a
portrait of the frail lady.

SmartIy Rebuked.

1t Ia not often miserliness ge>s
such straightforward rebuke as IL
recorded in this story.
In the early days of Primitive Meth
odism there travelled in England an
eccentric minister named Neale, who
was famous for his plain talking. On
one occasion he was preaching mis-
sionary sermons at village so noted
for it's small collections that he deter
mined to pass the plate himself. On
his round he came to farmer who
was, as Mr.. Neale we'll knew, the rich
est man in the place. This individual
placed penny in the plate. Mr. Neale
stopped Immediately. and said in q
loud voice:
''Take your penny out, man! Take
it out! Don't you seq you've covered
up your laborer's sixpence?"
The rebuke was enectual, and a
much more valuable coin was placed
on the plate.

cemetery of the community was not
in a common burial ground, but in a
room of the house especially con-
structed for that purpose. The
corpses were buried in a sitting pos
ture. Certain caves we're used also
as place to bury the dead, but owing
to the occurrence Of skulls with frac-
lures in them it is presumably the
warriors, who died away from home,
who were so buried A few had the
distinction of being stuffed with moss

in caves. These customs have long

tion for the strange burial rooms, the
