JOHN BANISTER I TALE OF A NAIL TOMBS OF SANO. 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 " — jrcbxsrd 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. Cap* Cad’s Treacherous,Shoals and the 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. ART OF JUGGLING. A Famous Cook’s Lament on the Death of Hie Royal Master. Tbe most successful book that was published by William Harrisou Ains worth during bis first year of busi ness. says Mr. S. M. Ellis In bls biog raphy of tbe English author anil pub lisher. was a cookbook. It was "Tbe French Cook." by Louis Eustache Ude. “the Gil Blas of the kitchen." This unique study of tbe culinary art brought in a handsome sum to the astute young publisher who bad pur chased the copyright, and the book was in the hands of every gourmet in Landon. Ude bad been chef of Louis XVI.. of Mme. Letizia Bonaparte and then of tbe Earl of Sefton, at a salary of 300 guineas a year. At another time be presided over the culinary department of the Crockfords, but bls favorite master was Frederick, duke of York. When tbe royal gormand died his bereaved chef pathetically ejaculated: “Ab. mon pauvre due. bow much you will miss me, wherever you are gone tof’ 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 Medicine. nglish Violinist Who Won Fame In the Seventeenth Century. ilic concerts owe tbeir direct en- gement to Jobu Banister, who von fame by bls playing on tbe and who succeeded tbe cele- | Baltzar as leader of Charles band of twenty-four violins, i. in an entry in his diary for |ary, 1G67, tells us tbe court gos- I tbe day—"bow the king's viallin ter is mad that the king hath a bum come to be chief of some if the king's musique.” Ister’s concerts at tbe close of tar 1672 were advertised In the in Gazette ns follows: "These are ■e notice that at Mr. Jobu Ban- i bouse tnow called tbe muslck I), over against the George tav- [ White Fryers, the present Mon- Fill be musick performed by ex- I masters, beginnlug precisely at the clock in the afternoon, and afternoon for tbe future pre mt the same hour.” I years later on we read again, be academy in Little Lincoln’s lelds will begin the first part of krley of instruments, composed f.

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.
