Uakes idneys and BladdavR~i ht ODD EPITAPHS. The Tombstone inscription Willed by an Ardent Republican. At Attica in the little burying ground is the grave of Nathaniel Grigsby. He died in 1S0 and was a man of much force. He had a war record. serving as second lieutenant in Company G, Tenth Indiana cavalry. Grigsby was an =rdent Republican. He stood by the G. 0. P. at all times and even in death. This epitaph is on his tomb stone: Through this inscription I wish to enter my dying protest against what is called the.Democratic party. I have watched it closely since the days of Jackson and know that all the mis fortunes of our nation have come to it through this so called party. Therefore be w.'are of this party of treason. Grigsby's heirs -did not want this in scription to go on the tombstone. but the lawyer declared that the will pro vided that it must be used, and the family had to agree. But the inscrip tion is headed with a line that Grigs by's will made-the epitaph mandatory. At Lincoln is a very odd tombstone. A.traveling man of that town. who had been on the road. many years and was quite eccentric, framed an epitaph that is decidedly original. He died several years ago, and a traveling bag hewn out of marble stands at the head of his grave. On one side of the bag is this! line: "Here Is where Bill stopped last!" Kansas City'Journal. A VISION ON THE VELDT. The Form on the Rocks That Con fronted the Soldier. -Ithought I saw a form of some kind between the bowiders. I jumped to the conclusion that it was a soldier. In one- second it had vanished. I chal lenged, but got no answer. Those pieces of rock seemed to terrify me. I advanced toward them, but saw nothing. I retired back and took up my position, leaning on my rifle. My eyes went again to the same place, and there, standing between the two bowl ders, was thd outline of a woman. I brought my rifle to the present, covei% ing the form which stood before me. I saw her walk from one piece of rock to the other. I watched and saw her repeat her ac tion. She then stopped and leaned up against one of the bowlders with her back toward me. I again advanced to where she stood. When I had got to within forty or fifty yards of her I saw her turn 'round and look straight at me with a careworn and sorrowful face. aThen I saw and knew who she was. It was my own mother. ' I was not mis taken, for she walked within a few yards- of me, at the same time looking me dead In the face.. She then turned about and walked to the two pieces of rock, and I saw no more of her. About three weeks after I received a ltter from home telling me of her death and burial.-"A Grenadier's South African brminiacence" in OccultI Review. - Gambling For Maids.

All the lititle sea folk have their own clever way of protecting them selves from their enemies, but the spiny boxfish has about the cleverest way of all. Hebelongs to-the great family called puffer, and you will see in a moment how well the name fits him. Just imagine the little puffer swim ihing around in the water looking like a small round box with a head on. A big fish comes along, sees the little puffer and thinks: "There's just a good mouthful for me!" But just as he darts toward him the little puffer blows himself up like a ball, turns over on his back and floats around with all his sharp prickers sticking out toward his enemy. The bid fish is dazed; he stares at the puffer andithinks, "Can that great prickly thing be the same little fish I tried to swallow?" He can't un derstand it, :but he sees there is no use trying, so he goes sadly on his way, and when the little puffer is sure he is gone-he just empties the water out- oft his skin and goes back to his usual- size. Now, isn't'that a pretty clever trick for a little dfish to -play? But, .you see, Mother Nature gare the little puffer just thatfkindof ajbody'thatshe'might escape from his enemies.--St. Nicho las.

It is a cautious, sagacious, discriminating, farseeing in telligence. It is jealous of encroach ment jealous of power, jealous of! man. It demands checks, it seeks-for guards, it Insists on securities, it in trenches itself behind strong defenses' and fortifies itself with all possible care against the assaults of ambition, and passion. It does not trust the: amiable weaknesses of human nature, and therefore it will not permit power to overstep its prescribed limits. though benevolence, good intent andi patriot.c purpose come along with it.
