Trv-oitMt curious tomb In England Is that ot Ijidy Anne Grlmston, daughter of the Em of Tuanet, who died nearly tiro centuries uro and was billed In Tewln churchyard. Upon her deathbed she disregarded the efforts of those who sought to administer spiritual comtbrt. An atheist she had lived, an atheist she would die. "It Is aa likely that I should rise aim from the dead," Ihe said, "as that a tree should grow out of the middle of my cottln." A tree has grown out of the middle of ber coflio an oak-and ty its Biue a syca more.

Tbe old penalty for remaining mute under similar conditions was being pressed to deuth. The form of sentence set forth "the prisoner shall be laid lo some low. dark house, where be shall lie naked on the earth and one nru shall lie drawn to one quarter of the house with a cord and the other arm to another quarter, und In the same manner let It lie done with bis legs, nnd let there lie luid uioii bis body Iron and stone, as much as be can bear or more."

The editor of a Kausas paper states that he once borrowed a Winchester rifle and a.tarte.1 up tho street a few days after to deliver the weapon to Its owner. The delinquent subscribers got it Into their heads that ho was on the warpath, and every one he met Insisted on paying what bo owed him. One man wiped out a debt of ten years' standing. On his return to his ofllee he found a load of hay. fifteen bushels of corn, ten bushels of potatoes, a load of I wood" and a barrel of turnips that had been brought In. We would like to borrow a Winchester for a day or two. St. Louis Post Dispatch. STOCKING By D. r. CCNOVCR (Copyright. l"ii. Iy C. ?'.

A visitor among the poor of the east end of London found unexpected testi mony to the disadvantages of health In one of his culls. Mrs. B. had n fam ily of a dozen children, and, like most of her class, she had her tale of woe to tell. "How are the children, Mrs. n.T' Inquired the caller. "All very well. In deed, sir; very well. Indeed," was tho answer. "You ought to be thankful, Pm sure, with so much sickness about." "Yes, sir. I suppose I ought to be thankful; but. I tell you. when they're well they eat an awful lot. The Created Itat. llie crested rnt of Kiist Africa Is re markable, llrst because of the great length of the Mack and white bairi ( down tbe ridge of the back, which nre rendered the more conspicuous because the hairs along the sides of the body are so short nnd so differently colored, being brownish gray and looking for all tho world as If some one bad taken a pair of scissors and maliciously shorn off tho decorative hair, leaving only a dull underfur. Secondly, it Is remark able because the skull has n rooting of bones exactly resenibling that of some turtles, while, furthermore, this roof has a granulated appearance recalling that presented by the skulls of certain fishes. In Its habits It nppears to be arboreal while from the structure of Its teeth It would nppear t be at least partly Insectivorous. CramblisK. Grumbling Is n pitetit cause of 111 health.
