CABBAGE NOT PLURAL WORD

These cabbage are defective" exactly
as many folks who know better say
Yep Yah" and ''Yis" for Yes, but
that does not make the use correct.
TIE uuEd cabbage dates from the FIX

plural dates from 1440 when the word
was spelled cabaches. In the Merry

BELIEVE CORPSE FEELS PAIN
Mohammedans MetieulousIy Careful
in the Handling Of the Bodies
Of Their Dead.

The traditions of Mohammed, as
well as the works Of Noslem doctors,
teach that a dead body is conscious Of
pain, and great care is consequently
taken TO avoid undue pressure while
washing a corpse. Seven balls Of cot
ton wool enveloped In calico, over
which warm water Is poured, are sue
cessively used for this purpose, and
the dead Moslem has performed for
him for the last time the ablutiOn
which insures his being buried In a
state Of legal purity"
These fOrmanties being accom-
plished, 200 drachms Of cotton are
weighed out small portions Of which
are placed under the armpits and be
tween the fingers and toes, and the
remainder Of the body-over which
a sleeveless gown has been drawn
is envelOped. Pepper and other spices
are placed in the folds Of the shroud
and rose-water sprinkled over it. The
corpse is reverently lifted, by means
Of sings passed under 1t, into the
temporary coffin.

Salem witch pelusIon.

One Of the most interesting Of colo
NAL relics in Salem Mass, known as
the witch City is The Witches
House" This was the residence Of
one Of the judges before whom those
accused Of being witches appeared for
examination.
The witch delusiOn created more
turmoil at Salem than anywhere else
in the colonies, yet its tragic period
there lasted only about six months In
the year 1892, During that period 10
persons were hanged, and a well-to-do
farmer, eighty-one years old, was put
TO death by placing heavy stones on
his body.
Nathaniel Hawthorne was born in
Salem. In his manhood he was col
lector Of the port for q time, and
daily labOred at the custom house
though it was said that he never
could add up fggers."

Sense Of Dury.

There is no evil that we cannot
either face or fly from but the con-
sciousness Of duty disregarded. A
sense Of duty pursues US ever. 1t is
omnipresent, Ike the Deity. If we
take TO ourselves the wings Of the
morning and dwell In the uttermost
parts Of the sea, duty performed or
duty violated is still with us for our
happiness or our misery, If we say
the darkness shall cover US, in the
darkness as in the light orr obliga-
tons are yet with Us. We cannot es-
cape their power nor fly from their
presence. They are with us in this
life, viii be with us at its close; and
in that scene Of incOnceivable sOlem-
nifty which lies yet farther onward we
shall still find ourselves surrounded
by the consciousness of duty, to pain
us where ever it has been violated
and to console us so far aa Cod may
have given us grace TO perform it,
Daniel Webster.
