SMELTING IN CALIFORNIA.

They Were Once Used In a Charchyard In Scotland. In the earlier half of the nineteenth century the practice of stealing bodies from the churchyards for the purpose of sale as subjects for dissection, which was known as “body snatching,” was for a time very rife. Various plans were made to defeat the nefarious and sacrilegious proceedings. of the “body snatchers,” or “resurrectionists,” as they were sometimes called, a very common one being the erection of two or more small watchhouses whose windows commanded the whole burying ground, and in which the friends of the deceased after the funeral. A usual method of the grave robbers was to dig down to the head of the coffin and bore in it a large round hole by means of a specially constructed center bit. It was to counteract this maneuyer that the two curious coffinlike relics. now lying on either side of the door of the ruined church of Aberfoyle? in Perthshire, ‘were constructed. They are solid masses of cast iron of enormous weight. . When an interment took place one of these massive slabs was lowered by eyitable derricks;-tackles and chains onto. the top of the coffin, the grave was filled in, and there it was left for some considerable time. Latér on the grave was opéned and the iron armor glate was removed and laid aside ready for another funeral. These contrivances still lie on the grass of the lonely little churehyard, objects of curiosity to the passing ecyEA = 2 , ‘ rae? lean and sallow woman, in what ap) cure.

If it should be-. come a law, one of the most troublesome matters that have engaged the at‘ention of legislators during the last ten years will have been disposed of. a ORR A Bit of Red Tape. ; The absurdities of officialism have perhaps never been better illustrated than by the incident in the career of Lord Shaftesbury which the author of “Collections and Recollections” relates: One winter evening in 1867 he was sitting in his library in Grosvenor square, when the servant told him that there was a poor man waiting to see him. The man was shown in and proved to be a laborer from Clerkenwell and one of the innumerable re2ipients of the old earl’s charity. He said, “My lord, you have been very good to ine, and I have come te tell you what I bave heard.” It ap. peared that at the public house which he frequented he had overheard somc Irishmen of desperate character plotting to blow up Clerkenwell prison He gave Lord Shaftesbury the information, to be used as he. thought best, but made it a condition that hie name should not be divulged. If it were, his life would not be worth ar bhour’s purchase. Lord Shaftesbury pledged him§elf to secrecy, ordered his carriage and drove instantly to Whitehall. The authori ties there refused, on grounds of offi cial practice, to entertain the informa tion without the name and address of the informant. These, of course, could not be given. The warning was rejected, and the jail was blown un— Youth’s Companion. 4 Her Wedding “Tower.” An accommodation train on a distant railroad was dragging along. when red to be subdued bridal finery, leaned across the aisle of the car and said seriously to a lady sitting opposite ber: “Dear me!

Be took down his big white bat, which was creased down the middle like a pair of trousers, and rolled it up tight; then he tossed it In the air. With a ctacking sound it spread open and fluttered down to the floor in its original shape, deep center crease and all. “You could soak this hat for a week,” he continued, “and tron it out flat afterward, but when you came to put it on again it would be just as you see it now, = “Women in Mexico and roundabout all that region make the hats, using Straw that has been selected with more care than I could tell you of. The art has been handed down in their families from one generation to another, and it is a secret art, unknown to any otter people in the world. “These women, living so far away from everything, are ignorant of the fashions, and that is why the hats never change their ugly shape. If thes were fashionably made, the demanc for them would: be enormous. As tt Is hatters travel through all that country-7 and buy them up at good prices. “The perfect Panama hat costs at least $30, and if you should pay $50 for a big and unusually light ene you would not be getting stuck.” —Philadelphia Record. $100 Reward, $100, The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at leas! one dreaded disease that science bas been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh MHall’s Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity.
