Id the ear.'\ pan <<!' t!i>> last century there live;! i:i au ok! New England town a Mr. ? 'i:i"c!i. who, in the course > of his pilgrimage through this va!e of tears, was bereft of four wives, all of whom were buried in tlie same lot. In his old a {re it became necessary to remove the bodies to a new cemetery. This melancholy task the much bereaved widower undertook himself, but in the process the hones of the la, mented quartet became hopelessly 1 mixed, Priding himself on possession of a New England conscience. Mr. Church would not. under tlie painful k circumstances, permit the use of the f original headstones, but procured now ones, oue of which bore the following inscription: "Here lies Hannah Church and pmbably a portion of Eoiily." Another: 'Sacred to the memory of Emily Church, who seents to be mixed with Matilda." Then followed these lines: Stranper. pause and drop a tear. For Emily Church lies buried here.

It is probable that the star Arcturus is one of the six greatest of all the stars in the sky. Notwithstanding its brightness, it Ls so far away from us that it is not displaced In position in the slightest measurable degree, as we change our position 180.000.000 r Y miles in our annual journey around the sun. Could we be placed midway between Arcturus and our sun we would receive thousands of times more light and heat from the star than from * our sun. and this notwithstanding that the 6tar's radiation is smothered by a dense blanket of metallic vapors. In l spite of its immense distance the star ls drifting slowly in a southwestward direction over the face of the sky. its motion changing its apparent position by an amount equal to the diameter of the moon in the course of about ( 1,000 years. So great an apparent moi tion must indicate an enormous velocity in SDace.?New York Press. Peppermint and Tobacco. If you have a boy who has begun V?moking too eariy and whom you wish to cure of the habit feed him peppermints. Dr. O. Clayton Jones of Silverton, England, writing in the London Lancet, is authority for this simple ) cure. Dr. Jones writes: "To break the smokfng habit in a youth there is nothing better than peppermint drops. He cannot smoke witb a 'bullseye' in his mouth, and even for some time after i It is dissolved tobacco will not blend kindly with the taste that remains. Socially the cure may seem worse than the disease, but from a medical point of view the sucking of peppermints is far less hurtful. A common 'bullseye* will prevent smoking for nearly an hour, so the amount of sweets used need not be great" Hit Discharge. A touching instance of the humor which never deserts a true Irishman even In his worst troubles is recorded. A soldier was seen in the trenches holding his hands above the earth^ works. His captain asked: "What are you doing that for, Pat?" He replied, with a grin, as he worked his fingers: "I'm feeling for a furlough, sir." Just then a rifie ball struck his arm just below the wrist Then a queer expression of pain and humor passed over his face as he exclaimed: "And^faith It's a discharge."?Lon UUll a us rt ci a.
