A PECULIAR MAN.
Ills N*ue Wli LazaruM) and H« find
m. Peculiar Exprrltsce.
"In one of my voyages from Cape
Town to England," writes a traveler,
"I shared my cabin with a peculiar
man, whose name was Lazarus. He
made me promise that if he should die
during the voyage I would prevent his
burial at sea. He said that on a pre-
vious voyage he had fallen sick and
was taken for dead and put into a sack
for burial. A quarterma8ter had been
put on to watch the body until it was
time for the funeral. When the burial
party arrived the quartermaster in-
formed the captain that be thought the
body had moved in the sack. The sack
was opened, and Lazarus eventually
came to life again. Such was the
Btory Lazarus told me. Lazarus was
a thin man with a sallow face. He
had an enormous appetite and appear-
ed at every meal, to which he devoted
his whol® energies. The good feeding
only seemed to add to his corpselike
appearance. One evening, sure enough,
.when we were about halfway to our
voyage's end, he apparently died again.
The doctors took him in charge this
time, however, and he came out of his
trance without any shotted sack epi-
sode. He was met at the London
docks by a number of relatives and
friends, all of whom looked as if they
might be suffering from the same com-
plaint."

It Is not an uncommon thing to hear
a man or woman say. "There is Home-
thing 1h« matter with my stomach."
They never stop to think whether they
themselves are not at fault Instead of
the stomach. It is so easy to blame
the stomach. It can't say anything
back.
But the truth of the matter is the
stomach Is all right; nothing the mat-
ter with it at all. It is what is put into
the stomach that is causing the To i-
ble. The stomach knows when it re-
ceives something that will be injurious
to the body or when it has been over-
loaded, and it protests against the In-
digestible. article or the surplus amount
of food.
It Is acting as a friend and sending
out a warning against this abuse. But
instead of being grateful to the stom-
ach and leaving off the indigestible
food and the big dinners the man or
the woman continues to load it with
pie and cake, pickles and sauces, pork
and pancakes and all sorts of horrid
things, and then they complain that
there Is something the matter with
their stomachs.—London Mail.

Excellent authorities agree that in
a thunderstorm the middle of a room
is much the safest place In a house.
A. carpeted floor or one covered by a
heavy thick rug is better to stand on
than bare wood. It is well to keep
away from chimneys and out of cel-
lars. In the open air tall trees are
dangerous. A poison sheltered under
a low tree or shrub thirty or forty feet
from a large and lofty tree is quite
safe. If lightning strikes in the im-
mediate vicinity It will hit the high
tree as a rule, with few exceptions.
Water is a very good conductor, and
it is well to avoid the banks of streams
in a violent thunderstorm.—Detroit
Tribune.
Can Yon Solve Itt
Here is a problem that has bothered
a good many mathematical heads. Can
you solve it?
"In cutting a beam into half inch
boards the saw wastes an eighth of an
Inch cut," said the timber merchant.
"If the saw only wasted half as much
-4h*si» would be one more board. How
manr boards is the beam sawed into?"

He—We must economise. Suppose,
darling, that you try your hand at mak-
ing your own clothes? She—Oh, George,
dear, I never,could do that. Suppose I
begin by trying to make yours?—Phil-
adelphia Inquirer.
For the Sake of Quiet.
"My daughter admired both law and
music, so I had her study law."
"What impelled you to that choice?"
'I think practicing law is quieter
).tn practicing piano playing."
