PEATH An Astonishing Heniriaf Erected By a sorrowing widow. --" Trenton Letter to the Philadelphia Times. The stoty of the queerest tribute to the dead on record, comes from Latn bertville, in Hunterdon county. Near that town lives Mrs. Elisha Pratt, widow of Deacon Pratt, who was famous as a farmer, a genial soul and an ardent Methodist. He was puticularly foud of tickling his ap petite, aii'l was ilecme considerable of an .picnic. His wife was an ex cellent cook, and l:er dinner.- wt-re rare exhibit!', m of culinary skill for a rural neighborhood. The Heae.-u -n-joyed nothing belter than a hoio-t iul of clci'jnicn around a. table laden with tempting victuals. And Mrs. Pratt, who doted on the deacon, was in her element when preparing such a feast and helping entertain such gootlly guests. About a year ago a number of min isters were on their way to the camp meeting at Ocean Grove. There were jus', a iio;:c-u ef them. Deacon Pratt had them all stop over night at his farmhouse, and gave them a rousing dinner early in the t-vening. It was a dinner modeled ou the New England plan, as Pratt came irom Vermont and so did his wife. There was everything conceivable to eat and plenty of reasonably hard cider to drink. The deacon was in the best of humor, and partook even more heartily that usual of the food. Hit wife, accustomed as she was to her husband's large appetite, was aston ished at the amount he consumed, and made a mental inventory of the Various article- and the amount of each that he swallowed. The next afternoon Deacou Elisha Pratt died of cholera morbus. The physician said the dinner knocked him out. The funeral was the largest the neighborhood ever knew. Eight of the twelve clerymen present at the dinner acted as pall-bearcrs acd the other four officiated at the church and by the grave. The widow was inconsolable for a while and talked about the tribute she proposed having prepared in memory of her husband. Everybody supposed she was going to erect a handsome monument and the makers of tombstones sent in bids. But they were all mistaken, Mrs. Pratt had in view the most remarkable and yet suggestive of memorials. She had the work done quietly in Philadelphia and it required some weeks to finish it. When it arrived at the farm and some cf the widow's intimate friends were invited to call and see the trib ute, they were at first astounded and then shocked, and finally they felt a disposition to laugh that was con trolled with difficulty. On the table tiie par. or stood a large glass case. On top of the case was a small arch, made of solid silver. Surmounting the arch was the figure in silver, of in angel blowing a trumpet. Inside the arch and suspended from it center was a tablet of white marble, on which were inscribe. i the following w-ords in deep, black letters: "This is What the Deacon Died Of." But it was underneath tho glass case that the great surprise awaited spectators. There an plates arranged in the order they were served, were exact duplicates in wax, and some in glace shape, of the various articles of tood the deacon bad eaten at the die ner the evening before be died, and also exact duplicates in quautity and size of the amounts be had consumed. There was a large plate of soup, a big slice of meat, heaping side dishes tul of vegetables, three cucumbers, huge slices of pie, a quarter of a water melon, two plates 1 of ice-cream, small cup of Coffee and three goblets of cider. 1 hey were perfect piee of work in wax, as well a perfect representations of what ha -passed down the deacon's throat at the dinner. The whol thiui; had cost sere hum re J dollais. The neit-kbors naturally ridiculed the tribute at first, but they all re spected the widow, and when they found that she was really in earnest in ber grief and in her regard for the wax memorial, they restrained their mirth and said little about it outside. Many of them thought that tbe eud- dea loss had unhinged Mrs. Pratt's mind somewhat. This is why it is only after ths lapse of a year that the report of the astonishing tribute has leaked ut. - Clecirle Bitter.

Farm Life in China. Popular Science Monthly. A farmer may be hired by the year for from SS to S14, with food, cloth ing, head shaving and tobacco. Those who work by the day receive from 8 to 10 cents, with a noouday meaJ. At the planting and harvesting of ri:c wages are from 10 to '20 cents a day, with five meals, or M0 cents a day withvut food. Few laud owners hire bauds expert for a few days dur ing the planting and harvesting of rice. Those who have more iand than they and their sons can till lease it to their neighbors. Much land is held on leases piven by ancient proprietors to slansmeu whose des tendentj now till it, paying from 37 to ?14 worth of rice annually for its use. Food averages little more than 1 a month for each member of a far mers family. One who buys, cooks and cats his meals alone, spends fr m 81 50 to 5SJ a month upon tbe raw maUrial and fuel. Two pound of rice, costing 3i cents, with relishesof salt llsh. pickled cabbage, cheap vegetables and fruit', costing 14 cents, is the ordinary allowance tn each laborer for each day. Aber ucthy's advice to a luxurious patient, "Live on sixpence a ilay and eain it.' is followed by nearly every Chinaman. One or two dependent relatives Ire. qucntly share with him the sixpence. Disarming an l nccn For. "This was sometime a paradox," ai Hamlet says. Since, however, the people cf America and other 'and have lx-cn enabled lo pit Ilostettcr'a Stcniich Bitters against that unseen foe, malaria, it is no longer a paradox, but an easy possibility. Whatever nralaria evolves its misty venom to poison the air, and decaying unwhole some ' vegetation : iniprcgnater the water, there, in the very ttrongholn of miasma,' is the auxiliary potent t disarm the fin- and assure efficient protection.
