They practice it only at funerals, and hence they are known is "deathbed "death-bed thieves." , When they read in a newspaper that a well-to-do person has died, some of them go to the housa an hour or two before the funeral takes place and coolly mingle with the invited mourn ers. Of course the members of the family do not know them, but they naturally assume either that they were known to the deceased and have come to pay their last respects or that they were invited to be present by some aunts or cousins who are unable to attend in person.

For ages antiquary after antiquarj found himself baffled by a simple problem prob-lem at the Tower. How, in the old days, did the garrison get a supply of drinking water? The antiquary could show you the original fireplace at which William the Conqueror warmed his hands, could point approximately to the spot on which the murdered princes fell; he could lead you to the place where Henry VIII.'s queens were butchered, and to the tombstones that collapsed upon their poor bones; he knew the tiny 'dungeon in which Sir Walter Raleigh Ra-leigh spent twelve dreadful years hid den from the light; and could have! you In a twinkling in the stone dog kennel where still remains the ring to which they chained Guy Fawkes. But how these unfortunates 'and their janitors drank, none could tell. The Thames hard by was not the source, they were sure. Organized search was vain. Then there came a thick-headed, unimaginative un-imaginative mason, to whom and his fellows the work of converting certain of the historic dungeons Into storehouses store-houses for war material meant 9d an hour and no more. His pick struck through the flooring of the corridor from which the prisoners prison-ers used to enter their cells. Behind these latter and corresponding with the main one ran, and still remains, the little secret corridor along which eavesdropping officers tiptoed to listen to conversations between captives, for the purposes of evidence. A few blows from the pick brought to light the mouth of a pit. Sixty feet down was water thirty feet of it. The mason had happened upon the historic well for which search had been made in vain for centuries! It was as perfect as the day that the Conqueror Bunk it.

As Digger of Earth the Little Animal Takes High Rank. A writer on natural history has the following to say of badgers: "In hard winter weather the badger lies much in its earth, hibernating for long periods, peri-ods, much after the fashion of the bear, and sleeping, like that animal, with one paw m its mouth. At this season the beast closes up the mouth of its den and slumbers away its time for .many days, even weeks together. In milder weather it ventures forth again in search of food. In the Justness Just-ness of digging the badger is one of -the finest exponents in the worl i, making mak-ing its way underground, even amid the greatest obstacles, with a strength, celerity and perseverance that are truly marvelous. I have always regarded re-garded the aardvark, the ant-eater of South Africa, as the champion digger o? the anim&l kingdom, having been witness of some of his Exploits; but the badger takes a very high place in the art of getting under ground." FAMOUS OLD RABY CASTLE. Long Ago the Stronghold of the Warlike War-like Nevilles. Raby castle, the seat of Lord Barnard, Bar-nard, is a famous old structure. On the ground floor is a mighty hall into which one might drive a coach. Above it runs a dining chamber, ninety feet in length and thirty-six in breadth. It remains to-day as it stood in the days when the barons for whose entertainment entertain-ment it was fashioned were almost the paramount power in the land. Seven hundred of the mightiest and noblest in the kingdom dined simultaneously simul-taneously in this hall when the warlike war-like Nevilles were established at Raby castle. The ancient chamber is good for as many to-day and there is accommodation ac-commodation enough for the cooking. The kitchen is a square of thirty feet, with an oven so huge that at one time it was converted into a wine cellar, the sides being divided into ten parts," each side holding a hogshead of wine In bottles. An Ancient Invention. Archimedesof Syracuse, when he was in Egypt,' invented the earliest ma chine for pumping bilge water out of the holds of ships. The instrument was also used in the Delta for purposes of irrigation. DIordorus Siculus twice refers to it in his writings. A curious model of such an instrument, probably of the late Ptolemaic period, has been found in Lower Egypt. It consists of a terra-cotta cylinder with a screw Inside In-side it, ten inches long and four and a half Inches In diameter. Near the center of the outside is a band with cross-pieces. These may represent footholds, foot-holds, . and suggest that the machine was worked after the manner of the treadmill. Such screws were probably made'of wood. . ' . Beauty and the Beast. A strange affair happened in a village vil-lage on the Lake of Constance.

"What happy days are those when all our friends say, "How well you look." We can bring those days by a li;.tle care in the selection of food juot as this young' man did. "I had suffered from dyspepsia for three years and last summer was so bad I was unable to attend school," he says: "I was very thin and my appetite appe-tite at times was poor, while again it was craving. I wa3 dizzy and my food always used toferment instead of digesting. Crossness, tinhappiness and nervousness were very prominent symptoms. "Late in the summer I went to visit a sister and there I saw and used Grape-Nuts. I had heard of this famous fa-mous food before, but never was interested in-terested enough to try it, for I never knew how really good it was. But when I came home we used Grape-Nuts Grape-Nuts in our household all the time and I soon began to note changes in my health. I improved steadily and am now strong and well in every iway and am back at school able to get my lessons with ease and pleasure and can remember them too, for the improvement in my mental power is very noticeable and I get good marks In my studies which , always seemed difficult before. "I have no more of the bad symptoms symp-toms given above but feel fine and strong and happy, and it is mighty pleasant to hear my friends say: 'How well you look."'

" , Speaker's Eloquence Was From i Lac work of maple Is constructed, and over this is stretched some finely woven cloth. This is the filter. It stops the entrance of rain and drafts and catches the cinders and numerous impurities of the atmosphere of a manufacturing district. Once in bed and with curtain closed and slide open, there is an unrestricted passage way for the filtered air to the lungs of the person in bed, but not satined with this, Dr. Parker erected a ventilator pipe on the top of the box. This extends clear to the ceiling of the room and at its lower end, about two inches from the top of the box, a gas jet is inserted. Before retiring the patient lights this jet. The heated air rises naturally, passes out of the top of the ventilator pipe and forms a vacum in the pipe which is immediately immediate-ly filled by the. fresh air from out of doors. This keeps up a continual circulation, cir-culation, and the sleerer's lungs can never take in the same air twice. - The Toilet of a Mandarin. A recent book on China contains the following account of a mandarin's toilet: "A Chinaman always sleeps with his clothes on that is, he removes re-moves the outer garments and, having undone the waistband, anklets, collar and so on, retires to rest in his linen. The first thing on getting up Is to clean his teeth, which is usually a long and noisy operation. In order to do this he takes a large mug, a silver tongue scraper, a brush and often a bit of willow twig and goes out into the courtyard to complete this part of his toilet. One of the handmaids has already al-ready filled the copper basin with warm water and brought 'the rag." Often and often have I enjoyed the luxury of the 'hotel rag' at Chinese Inns. This rag is a purely Chinese institution and consists of an old dishcloth dish-cloth dipped in boiling water. The mandarin rubs his head, face, neck and hands with the family rag, ties hisdrawers at the ankles, hitches him-seli him-seli up generally, puts on a pair of silk leggings and a long robe and his undress toilet is complete."

He is thirty-four inches - in height and weighs a little more than forty pounds. He is advertising manager for a business house in Little Rock, and always al-ways appears at his place of business in a Prince Albert coat and a high silk hat. He is popularly known about town as "Mike." He has had many offers to go on the stage and exhibit himself, but has always refused. , Ho is twenty years old and the oldest of twelve children. A younger brother acts as coachman for him and he drives about the streets with a team of goats. There are ten girls in the family of Henry Hemmelrath, the father. Carbolic Acid Was a Nuisance. An exploring expedition in a remote part of China had a queer experience, which one of the party thus relates: "A large bottle of carbolic acid had been broken inside its wooden case. We exhausted our ingenuity in hopeless hope-less effort to unscrew the cover. We feared to carry it farther, as the burning" burn-ing" tears distilled it destroyed everything they touched. We dared not throw it aside, le&t the unsophisticated heathen should drink it is a cheering or medicinal beverage. We had no time to wait and empty it, as the fatal fluid would only trickle drop by drop through a chink which had been cautiously cau-tiously and laboriously excavated with a blunt hunting knife. ,Whaf were we to do? Degraa.ng as the confession must appear, we had to deposit the torpedo in the middle of the yard and throw bricks at it until it was smashed." .. - Boer and British Artillery. In his testimony regarding artillery firing during the South African war Gen. Butler told the British war commission com-mission an Interesting story. "I think the foreign system of intercepting the recoil, which was adopted by the Boers, was far superior to ours; that is to say, a big Boer gun would fire at an extreme range I saw it happen myself a shell and tnat shell fell and made a great hole in the ground. A native got into the hole to see how deep it was and the next shell that came went into the same hole and killed him.
