Bat on the bot- tom of one oi the loaves appeaced the statement **Died Jane 15," in old fash- ioned but well defined text. The bet disconcerted the family, and their feeling amounted to consternation, when week after week the same statement appeared on the bread â€" 'Died June 15." Mrs. Charles, with her slightly superstitions turn, thought it meant her, and, as the date apprcAched gradually grew lU. So strong was the power of imagination, in tact, that the day before the fatal one named found her in bed a very ill woman, and firmly convinced that the next day would be her last. The news of Mrs. Charles' illness spread abroad and finally reached the ears of an old residenter, who lost no time in getting to the home of the sick woman. He found her in what she thought her last hours, but quitUy ex- plained that, many years before, he had helped to build that bake-oven, and had used for one of the bottom slabs a part of an old tombstone that had been spoUt in the cutting.

Crreeley and the Hedimns. In the ante-telegraph days, Hon. Hoisw Greeley, whose handwriting was atroci- ously iMrd, wrote to a country correspon- dent in relation to a lecture engagement " Will be with you on Tuesdayâ€" or, if I can't, will rap." Such, at least, was pre snm^ to be the tenor of the oommoniea- tion. At this day the " autograph," pre- served as a curosity, may be read in that way, as well as in any other. The ** rap" hardly needs explanation, but there may be here and there a person who does not undentand that ' raps" were once on a time the only received method hj which the disembodied ' spirits" communicated with the living. Perhaps Mr. Greeley thought, or pretended to think, tliat he could induce some of those imponderables tu throw their mysterious weight into the business. He did not in this instance try. Indeed the famous "founder' of Tht Tribune, himself eminently a practical man, found the "spirits" impracticable for any sensible purpose. Always ready to listen to anybody or to test any new proposition, Mr. Greeley having attended a "seance" offered a handsome engine- ment to the " medium." ** If," he said, "you will give me, daily, the Londo^Jiark Lane reports, I will pay for the exclusive intelligence such a price as will make it worth your while." The reports were not to be jwdd for until verified by the thanslowly transmitted foreign malL The " medium" declined the offer, and Mr. Greeley turned away from him and called " next," on die roll of eccentric matters in which he loved to experiment. Britain's Nayal Reserre. The naval reserve strength of Great Britian is enormous. Daring the compli- cations with Russia in 1878 the British Admiralty made inquiries in relation to the number of ocean steamships which in the event of war could be made available as crulaara. As a result the names of 280 vessels were enrolled, each of which can carry from six to ten guns. These are all vessels of Uie first class, and the number has been increased in the intervening years to upwards of 300, and can ba sup- plemented by an even lajfger list of steam- ers of inferior rank, but all large, well- built and powerful vessels. Some of the recent additions to the ocean steamship fleet are scarcely inferior in toniuge to, and in horse-power of engines considenbly greater than, the Inflexible. Fitted np as cruisers they could cope with any wax vessel save an iron-dad or the mort mod- em iron or steel unamored craft, and could soon put a safe distance between themselves and any vessel of overmaster- ing strength. It would require • W of considerable duration, however, before many of them could be madaavaiWfle far naval warface, owing to the tame whgh would be occapiad in fitang them with guns, otherwise equipping them and man- ning them.

A watohmaker in Milwaukee has train-- ed a common canary bird to sing faultless- ly "We won't go home 'till morning." As soon as the bird was bom his education began, and by hearing this tune played to him three or four times a day for eight months he acquired it perfectly but there his acquifemente end. He never heard an- other tune. At the Academy of Medicine in Ireland a description was recently given of a lion- ess in the Zoologhad Gurdens who was found one morning to have eaten off six inches of her tail. In two more meals die had completdy disposed of that ap- pendage, and had commenced on her fore- paws. The animal waa destroyed "for fear she would eat henelf up." The cause of the trouble was thought to be hysteria of a kind similar to that which causes wo- men to bite their nails. A gentelman in Germantown, Pa., who was greatly annoyed by a colony of spar- rows that had taken up their quarton in a mass of ivy covering one side- of his house, got rid of them by a novel expe- dient. One day he purchased half a pound of red pepper, and, going np the third story, opened the windows and sifted the pepper down through the ivy. The alarm of the spanows' was evinced by the haste with which they left their hiding places. Every bird took its departure, rnd his prenuaes are now clear of them. Among the numeroas presente received by the Emperor William on the occasion of his last birthday was a simple farthing of the year 1797, that being the year which he was bom.

On the subjeco of color-blindness, a correspondent writes to the Patt MM Gcaette " A vc ry large proportion of the cases of so-called oolor-bliodnaas is, I am convinced, due to ignorance, and. In con- firmation of this opinion, there is the un- /doubted fact that it is rarely found In ex- amination of female candidates. If color- blindness is an organic defect of the vis- ual apparatus, surely it ought to exist in somewhere about the same ratio in the mde and female.

I was taken up to the dissecting-room soon after I matriculated. Of course I had heard about the ghastly scenes of this veritable chamber of honron, but I had steeled myself not to give expresdon to any of my feelings of surprise or disgust. The boys, who have seen courage simulat- ed before, tested me by stuffing my coat pocketa full of dead men's ears, fingers, and toes, and other cheeriul fn^menta while I was not looking, and one impioua wretch who was odmly eating his lunch- eon pretended to nse a slice of human cheek for the meat In his sandwich. The deception was as red as it was horrible. I passed through the orded unflinchingly, but I can assure you It was not unaccom- panied by sundry qodms of the stomach. In the course of time I became somewhat fiinm*T with the scenes and before the summer vacation I waa thoroughly hard- ened. " That summer I accepted an invitation from Harry Brown, who lived at Adrian, Mich., to spend my vacation with him. I cheerfully left the college, my books, and the disseoting-table, and prepared to enjoy myself as fuUy as possible. Harry is the nicest fellow in the world, and both he and Us sister did all in their power to make my vidt a jolly one. Every day we went rowing or riding or walking over the shady country roads, and every even- ing there was some sort of party to make that part of the day not the least enjoy- able. I mat a number of pretty girls in the town, but none prettier than lovely Mary Brown, and before the fall term be- gan we were more than friends, dthough there was no engagement, as I was too young to give such matters a serious thoaght. In October I went back to col- lege regretfully, I must own, and recom- menced my studies. After the long and pleasant summer the dark wdls of the building seemed more somber than ever, and^the work c f the lecture room appeared more tiresome than when I firt b^gan my studies. Shortly after the term began I was cdled to my home by the death of my'father. I was gone over a month, and when I had settled up his affrirs, they were not very extendve by the way, I went back to college. The first day I re- turned I viuted uie dissecting-room and purchased an anatomicd ticket entitUng me to a portion of a cadaver to uperate on. The boys all seemed glad to see me back again, and many of them offwed sympathy for my affliction. This was comforting, for chey were a nice lot of fellows, take them dtogether. I began work on my subject more to distaact my mind than anythug else, and got fairly into it when I heard a roar of laughter from the farldier end of the room. It came from a crowd of studente who were smoking their pipes and, dgarettes and playfully knocking each other over the head with fragments of bones in one cor- ner of the apartment. The noise Increas- ed instead of dying out, and the crowd momently grew larger. Impelled by curiosity, 1 left my work and joined the throi%.

O. xeoently, of Jerome K. Barton to Mra. Annie Srans, .tltough a qdet afhir^' waa teally the aena of ona of the pretdeat ro- â- MBdas to red lifis. Mrs. Burton, recent- ly Mrs. "Evana, nee Annie Tipton, is now but 35, is pretty, petite, and Mr. Burton is her third husband, and yet her first. Eighteen years ago Miss Tipton was a stu- dent in k Cindonati school, and while there she met Mr. Barton, then a student In a medicd college. Burton was of a good Kentucky family, a man of fine ap- peatuiea and he soon won the yonnggirra heart. By the bid of a mutud friend a license was procured though the girl was net o* age, and they were s« cretly married. Both continued in school, giving no out- ward sign of their changed relatlonddp. A few weeks later the young bride was summoned to her home to attend a dole mother. The girl herself was seizsd with illness, and from letters received during this illness and from the girl's tdk in her delirium, the secret of the marriage waa obtained. Her parents were greatly anger- ed and set about to discover means to un- tie the nuptid knot, and as the girl waa not of age at the time of the marriage, and as her parent' consent had not been ob- tdned, the first point waa to have her, im- mediately on coming of age, repudiate the contract. This was accomplished partly by coercion and partly by persuasion. The youi^r man was seen, and the terrors of the law were held up to him. I'oung, inex- perienced, and fearing the wrath of hia parente, who as yet knew nothing of the wedding, he consented to the separation and a suit for a divorce. The divorce was quietly obtained â€" scarcely a score of peo- ple knowing anything of the affdr. Bur- ton went West, and in the course of time Miss Tipbon married ai7d came to this place. Three years ago her husband died, leaving her a comfortable property. A notice of the event, giving the lady's mdd- en name, drifted, qaite by accident, into Burton's hands less than two months ago. He had lost sight of his former wife and sweetheart dtogether,but had never ceased to love her and had never married. He resolved to see if it were the same person and learn, if possible, if she had iMen n willing puty go the separation yean ago. He came at once to see her. Explanations were offered on both ddes and, finding that each loved the other, they resolved to marry. The ceremony was performed qaietlyatthe bride's residence, her parenta coining a distance to witness it, without suspicion as to who Barton was. Oiiber explanations occurred later in the day, and so far as is known no ill will existo among any of those who have a right to be inter« ested. An Eccentric Professor. A correspondent wiites Eccentric ad- dresses to individual students are tra- ditiond in the Univeruty of Edinburgh and it may be worth while to save from oblivion an extempore oration which I heard from my father as haviog been de- livered by the professor of l^tin in his day, whose son was the famous Prof. Ctmstison, so long an ornament of tho Edinburgh school cf medicine. Having detected a student winking in the class, he ordered him to stand up, and spoke as follows **S6 smirking, no smiling, and, above all, no tipping of the wink for such things are hurtful to yourselves, baneful to the republic, and will bring down the gray hairs of your parenta with sorrow to the grave.

I doubt if many stu- dents of the present day could give an impromptu rendering of such a sentence, or if many professors could sffird to mix their classics with such a sturdy vernac- ular. Driying Away English Sparrows. A gentleman residing in Germantown told a reporter that hia father succeed- ed in driving the sparrows away from his premises by a very simple method. A diurk mass of green ivy covered one side of the house entirely, and here the sparrows, gathered in vast numbers. The family, were perpetually annoyed by their clatter. One day he purchased half a pound of red pepper, and going to the third story he opened ttie windows ane aifted the pepper down through the ivy. TIm alarm of die tparrowa was evinced py the hadiewi^h which they left their hid- ing plaaea.
