Ths Qeoer Way In Which a Crims Was
Brought to Light.
Dr. John Douue. tbe famous Eng
lish divine and poet, who lived in tbe
reign of James L. was a veritable
: Sherlock Holmes. One of his famous
I exploits was as follows: He was
walking in the chur

while a
grave was being dug, ;, w<en tbe sexton
cast up a molderlng skull. Tbe doctor
idly took it up and in handling it found
a headless nail driven into it.
i This be managed to take out and
conceal in his handkerchief. It was
evident to him that murder had been
done. He questioned tbe sexton and
learned that the skull was probably
that of a certain man who was the
proprietor of a brandy shop and was
a drunkard, being found dead in bed
one morning after a night in which be
bad drunk two quarts of brandy.
"Had be a wife?” asked the doctor.
“Yes.”
“What character does she
bear?” “She bore a very good charac
ter, only the neighbors gossiped be
cause she married the day after her
husband's funeral. She still lives here.”
Tbe doctor soon called on tbe woman.
He asked for and received the par
ticulars of tbe death of her husband.
Suddenly opening bls handkerchief, be
showed her the telltale nail, asking in
a loud voice, "Madame, do you know
this nail?” Tbe woman was so sur
prised that she confessed, was tried
and executed.—London Tit-Bits.

Prey They Grip.
Secrets of the sands of Cape Cod ale
constantly being disclosed by tbe sea.
In tbe many storm tides that flood tbe
desolate beaches tbe bulks of staueb
ships lost along tbe coast on tbe half
hundred miles of beaches between Mo-
uomoy at Chatham and Wood End at
Provincetown are frequently exhumed
i
from tombs of sand.
Sometimes a wreck appears that has
been buried a century or more, as In
tbe case a few years ago of the bones
of tbe British frigate Somerset, whose
timbers of oak were disclosed to view
back of Provincetown, near tbe life
saving station in Dead Men's Hollow.
The Somerset was lout on Peaked Hill
bars Nov. 2 or 3, 1778.
Once a vessel Is gripped by tbe sands
the process of entombing her goes on
with great rapidity, tbe craft appear
ing to sink steadily in the yielding
beach. All around tbe doomed vessel
tbe sand piles up in great drifts, like
snow. Every crevice of the bull Is
quickly Ailed. The sand rises in a solid
barrier outside it and flows about it
as the tides flood tbe shelving beaches.
Finally it sweeps over tbe wreck, and
the process of entombing goes on until
tbe entombed craft is covered many
feet deep.—Boston Globe.

A Means ef Recreation For the Seden
tary or Bedridden.
Speaking of conjuring, the allied art
of juggling is one of tbe most amus
ing and valuable of diversions, espe
cially to the sedentary. Many physi
cians become expert in juggling, but it
is to their patients that It is most
useful.
The bedridden, if they retain tbe use
of their bands, may beguile many a
weary hour in learning to keep three
or four tennis balls in the air at once
and in balancing sticks and other sim
ple objects on tbe forefinger or on tbe
chin.
For the brain worker who does not
care for walking there is no better
recreation. It has often occurred to
us that in cases where there is any
reason to fear some form of paralysis
the educating of disused cerebral,
cerebellar and spinal centers by tbe
rapid and complex movements requir
ed in juggling might serve to act as
an efficient preventive.
We do not wish to claim too much
for manual education of this kind, but
we may point out that it tends to per
fect nervous poise and that no juggling
trick can be properly done if the per
former Indulges in dissipation even so
mild as beer and cigarettes.—American

Odd Word Survivals.
Far away back in tbe days when tbe
English language was in its infancy
there were poets who wrote of the
blossoms on the trees in tbe spring.
They didn’t write “blossom." however,
but used the word "blow” and made
it rhyme with snow and flow. When
they wished to sing of the beautiful
mass of apple or hawthorn flowers
they caUed it the "blowth.” This
word is found in the dictionaries.
