Juf in Old Uiigliuli Churches.
6ae of , the most rnngular featured
df Ui eolder iitirchra in England and
western Euiopo itf tho prescncb in
the walla of largo numbers of jars. I
They are imbeddea in tho masonry
with tho necks ttirnfcd toward tho in
terior of tho church and tho mouth
opening into tho audience room.
- For a long time tho oponings wore
supposed to bo holes in tho walls,
but a closer examination a number
of years ago on ono or two of tliewi
old building disclosed tho fact that
the oponings were tho necks of jugs,
and led to no little speculation as to
why thoy had been placed there.
All old churches that is to say,
churches erected from the Eleventh
to tho Seventeenth centuries have
thorn, and in somo thoy are indent
in J Kreat numbers. A church in
Leeds, England, has over fifty, while
this number is considerably exceodou
j in some of tho old French churches,
nearly 200 having been counted in
j, the cathedral of Angoulotne, in
' France.
Tllo explanation of their prcaeuco
is easy. Thoy wore placed in tho
wall with a view io bettering tho
acoustic properties of the building.
''jjThe idea is as old as Vitruvius, who,
in ft work on tho Roman theater, nd
vises that carilienwaro jarabo placed
-" In the walls for the purposo of in
creasing the resonance of the build
ing. In several Roman structural
kuch jugs have beon found, uted in
tho way afterward adopted by tho
architects of tho Middle Ages. As
to tho efficacy of tho advice, its em
ployment is open to question. For
increasing the acoustic properties of
tho rooms the jugs aro probably ueo
"less, but no ono can cortainly s.ay
that they aro so until tho experiment
has been tried of constructing two
rooms, with jugs in tho walls of ono
and tho walls of tho other solid. A
test made under theso conditions
would determine tho question, which
othorwiso must remain unsettled. -St.
Louis Glabo-Domocrat.
Tho Water T.ntits.
Thoro ia a plant growing in tho
southern waters of tho United States
which possesses tho singular proper"
ty of being ablo to render tho most
impuro standing water perfectly
healthy. Tho peoplo of Louisiana
and Mississippi call it tho water lo
tus.
It consists of leaves about tho size
of tho head of a pin and roots bo fine
as to escapo notico savo under a mi
croscopic inspection. Whoro i t grows
at nil, it covors tho wator, and to the
casual obsorvor looks liko a coating
of green scum. Tho flowers and
seeds aro microscopic, so that its ap
poaranco in any given locality is not
readily accounted for-, but wliorovor
it does appear tho wator beneath is
always fit to drink.
So marked is this proporty that
families using tho wator from bayous
where tho lotus is abundant aro
known to novo hotter goncral health
than those taking tlioir drinking wa
ter from places where tho lotus is
not found. It i often transplanted
into ponds, bayous and lakes, spreads
with wonderful rapidity and nover
fails to do its work well. St. Louis
Qlobo-Domocrat
I'ever of tho Foot.
In hot woathor corns troublo tho
avorago'human foot, but frequently
thoro is n foot fovor which scorns
even moro disagreeable This is
called rubber foot fovor, and it has
boon caused by wearing rubber boots
or overshoes to nn oxcosa. No chi
ropodist cau euro this complaint, but
tho pationt must tako thomattor into
his own hand. Tho only thing to do
; is to. batlio tho foot frequently, and
- to keep them as cool as possible by
wearing low shoes. Tho removal of
tho cause is of courso essential, and
rubbers should nover bo tolerated ex
cept in raiuy woathor.
If used nt any other thno thoy may
bring on auothor attack of tho foot
fever. If thoy oro kept on in tho
house ono has wet foot anyway, for
the forcing of tho porspimtiou will

ARE THEY BETTER DEAD7
The Unfortunate Lot of Those Who Flud
Life Not Worth Urine.
Two distinguished modern English
authors have taken for a story theme
, the question of suicide. Mr. Robert
Louis Stevenson told of tno droll per
formance of a club whoso object it
was to look after the extinction of its
mombers. Mr. J. M. Barrio has writ
ten a somewhat similar story called
"'Bettor, Dead." It, too, tolls about a
growsomo society organized for mu
tual suicide, and of tho strango ex
poriencps of a young man who fell a
victim to tho society's weird charms.
Wo confess that there is a certain
fascination in tho titlo of Mr. Barrie's
book, no matter how horrible the
xtory is in itself and in its sugges
tion. In a Connecticut town thoro
used to flourish a real suicide club,
which was responsible for tho extir
pation of its members. Tho tele
graph occasionally chronicled a mys
terious death of some melancholy
member who, in joining, had testi
fied to his predecessors in tho society
that ho considered himself "better
dead." Ho had struggled along un
til tho burdens of life became too
beavy, and finally had put himself
into tho hands of an organization
whoso business it was to furnish a
quick and peaceful exit.
"Bettor dead 1" Who aro the people
for whom life has no further charm I
Aro thoy thoao alone whoso lives havo
fallen in unpleasant places ? Are they
tho poor, the oppressed? Or, on tho
other hand, are they of that consid
erable number on whom fortune has
smiled too sweotly tho blase, tho
spoiled darlings? Or, again, aro they
tho disappointed, those who havo
fought bravely, but in vain? Then
thero is another class tho class who
havo aspired, but havo nover had tho
wings for a long flight; those who
would at least "leavo their prisons
and depart."
None of theso is strictly tho class
from which most suicides conio. Tho
largest number shufllo oil tho coil to
escapo punishment by conscience or
by tho operation of man's laws
tlujuo who aro too cowardly to suffer
in tho mind tho slings and arrows of
their own ill doods, but who tako a
leap from tho dagger's lothal point
and, so far as mortal knows, end
their troubles. Tho lovor who has
"loved deeply once, but loved in
vain," comes next in tho statistics.
Now, is there anyttody who is
really "hotter dead?" Of courso
thoro aro peoplo who Boom to bo
in a steadily losing game, and to
whom Sir Toby's cakes and alo no
longer givo pleasure. But cannot
thero bo stirred to somo now interest
in Ufo? Is thoro not help for thoso
who seem most helpless? Would thoy
not bettor givo themselves pauso bo
f oro making their-quiotus? Around
tho noxt bond in tho highway thero
may bo rest and peace for them.
Tho lover who takes tho mad leap
for lovo's sake is really tho least par
donablo of all, if thoro bo any mat
tor of degreo in tho question. Shake
spearo's sentimont that lovo is not
lovo that alters when it alteration
finds is beautiful, very, but hardly
in accord with tho observed facts of
life.
Tho lovo that larks In every breast,
80 kind a thins. 60 blind a tiling,
has a great capacity for Buffering,
but likowiso nu immense recupera
tive power. So wo say that of all
tho reasons for suicido unrequited
lovo is tho flimsiest.
Yes, and moro than that, all "bet
tor dead" reasons aro bad. Tho man
or woman who is about to stop out
into tho dark should "consider it
again." Itisn good deal bettor to
bo a living dog than a dead lion, and
while you wait, do somothiug, bo
somebody. Stop worrying and help
not only youraolf , but somebody clso.

admission being rigorously refused
to all cornel's. A fortnight later ho
sent out cards to his friends an

them to his funeral, which was to
take place tho noxt day at -1 p. m.
Only a small number put in an ap
pearance. It waa just dinner time, and to
postpone indefinitely this important
meal for- tho Bake of a funeral wag
decidedly a markof affection in tho
eyes of tho "departed." The friends
found waiting at tho door a hearso
and. sovoral mourning coaches; a

porch. Thoy woro shown into a
waiting room all draped in black.

How will tho coming man bo uour

which tho pciouco of nutrition will

Ono night at a littlo mountain
town in Ifentucky I was seated on
tho front porch f tho tavern waiting
for bedtime to como along, when a
tall.strappmg fellow lounged through
the office and dropped into a chair
besido me.
"Stranger in these parts?" ho said
inquiringly.
"A littlo somewhat so," I replied,
glad of a chance to talk to homebody,
"though I've been over a hection of

"U. .t do you think of it?"
"W 0.., it might be worse."
"Yes, I s'poso so; but I've studied

The Most Valuable Stamps.
Tho value of a stamp depends of
coui'30 upon its rarity and condition.
Perhaps the rarest stamp in exis
tence is tho two cont blue of 185G
British Guiana issue, which is worth
considerably more than fifty pounds.
Of these stamps it is said that tho
only known specimens were in the
possession of tho late Mr. T. K. Tap
ling, a ono time momber of parlia
ment, and ono of tho first of scien
tific stamp collector's; another in the
keeping of a Birmingham enthusiast ;
still another in the possession of
Horr von Ferrari, a f ourth being tho
property of a gentleman in France.
Other valuable stamps, which per
haps possess more interest to the col
lector than most varieties, aro tho
penny and two penny stamps of the
first issues of Mauritius, inscribed
"Postoflice." The last pair that was
pold fetched 240, and tho specimens
woro unoblitorated. So far as is
known only seven pairs of theso
slamps nro in cxistenco. These are,
or were, in tho possession of Horr
von Ferrari and a collector at Bor

and q used pair in their collections;
Baron Arthur do Rothschild and Dr.

A Compromise hi to the Vnlne of a Kiss
Tn!:ni bj Stealth.
One of tho Viennese judges was re
ccntly called uppn to determine, in
guldens and krehtzers, tho value of
a kiss snatched by an industrious
young student of philosophy from a
pretty young needlewoman at tho
early hour of 6 o'clock in the morn
ing. Tho youthful philosopher, who re
prices in tho significant namo of
Biorogger, had passed an examina
tion in psychology, the day before,
and had mado merry with his friends
all tho night in honor of the occa
sion. Qn his return home at 0 o'clock
in tho morning all the poetry of his
nature waa called into play by the
enchanting upparition of a blooming
maiden of nineteen summers walking
toward hira in the street.
Although his look and gait chal
lenged a comparison with St. An
thony, of I'Jgj pt, his powers of resist
ing temptation were sadly defective.
Ho snntche-1 ono fond kiss, and was
then taken up by the prosaic police
man on duty and prosecuted by the
young lady. In court he looked an
demure an a nun and as penitent a
an anchorite, no that tho judge played
tho part of counsel for tho defendant,
although it was really a civil suit for
damages The court first addressed
the young lady, and said:
"Tho defendant was jovial and ex
cited, and ho now admits ho was at
fault. Won't you forgivo him for
having lricsod you?"
Plaintiff I'm not vindictive, but I
want ten guldens damages (about one
pound).
Judge Ten guldens for a kiss?
Plaintiff- Yc3. I must now leave
my lodgings on account of tho scan
dal, and ten guidons is not too much.
Judge But tho defendant is only
a student, and therefore not a man
of means. Tlio Bum you demand
would bo a great loss to a person in
his position.
Hero the unfortunate student, who
was the picture of misery, put in a
word for himself. "Do you think it
over, miss. You must feel that if I
had beon in my sober senses nothing
in the world, would havo 'over in
duced mo to kiss you. No, not if 1
lived for a hundred years 1"
Plaintiff Why, this is a fresh in
sult, almost as bad as tlio first I
Defendant (disconcerted) Oh, T
didn't mean that; indeed I would
k I mean I wouldn't, that is, I
I haven't the audacity to kiss any
young lady. Otherwise I would will
ingly that is, in fact
Plaintiff Oh, of course that is dif
ferent. Well, I'll tako five guldens.
The judge seemed to think five
guldens too high a price to pay for a
kiss, but the money was at once paid
down, the case dismissed and plain
tiff and defendant smilingly left the
court chatting gayly togelhor. Cor.

Have many other varieties. Can recommend any of
above as especially early varieties. Should be put out in
next few weeks on well prepared soil to get crop next
year. Buy early stock.
Why grow late berries that only glut the market at
low prices? Plants are carefully trimmed and well put up
for mail or expiess. Must be sold in next few weeks.
