k~The Story as It Is Recorded on the
TomLstcrcs.
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.
Mixed in some Derdexinp manner
I With Mary, Matilda and probably Han'
nah.
?Philadelphia Ledger.
The Star Arcturus.
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.
So There Is.
"I didn't know you intended to
move."
k "We don't"
"But your wife told me she was out
HHk looking at houses all day yesterday."
"Well, that's true enough, but don't
you know there is a vast difference between
looking 'at* houses and looking
for' houses?"
