Referring to n verdict recently given by a coroner's jury that death was "caused by the medical evidence , " < ho British Medical Journal says : "This verdict may be added to these cited In the report of the select com' mlttee on death certification , where Dr. Ogle Is quoted as saying : 'One verdict came before me a llttlo tlma ago which was this : "A man dletv from stone In the kidney , which stone ho swallowed when laying on a gravel path in a state of drunkenness. " That was given as a verdict. I thought some joke had been played , and I wrote down about It , and found it was an absolute fact. Another ono Is like this : "Child tlneo months old , found dead , but no evidence whether born alive. " ' " These novel judg ments recall that an up-state newspa per not long ago spoke of taking a imudercd man's "post-moitem" state ment. Not a Solitary Exception.

CLERGYMEN IN QUEER ROLEa Thrco Took Part In a Tcwcl-WashIng Competition and Another Got Prize for Dewing. At bnzara and such-llko fnnctlona ministers of the gospel somotlmoa engage - gage In very amusing competitions which they would scarcely dream of entering under any other auspices. At n church bnzar at Slough soma llttlo tlmo ago great fun waa occo- Blonod by the appearance of a trio ot reverend gentlemen In the role of washwomen. They pitted themselves against each other in n duster-washing competition ; and , having been provided with a howl of water , a piece of nonp and a dhty duslor. they set vigorously to work. - The time allowed for the washing was throe minutes , on the expiration of which the dusters wcro submitted to the critical Judgment of three mar ried ladles. But they found the dust- era of two of the competitors BO well washed that they could not decide which was the cleaner. A somewhat similar clerical contest formed onn of the attractions at a ba zar held in Manchester. In this In stance the articles elected < o bo washed were towols. and each com petitor had not only to wash one , but hang it out to dry , being allowed 3 % minutes for the wqrk. Two vicars and ! firco ? em.ites took part In this competition , the way they "shaped" at the wahhtubs causing come of the lady spectators to shrlolc with laughter. The best was considered to bo that which had been done' by a curate re cently married , and somebody had the hardihood to suggest that perhaps ho had been taking lessons at homo. At a bazar arranged for the benefit of a Liverpool church a handkerchief hemming competition took place be tween thrco clergymen of the town. They were to do as much as they could in the time limit of a quarter of im hour , and the prize , half a dozen choice pocket handkerchiefs , was to be awarded to the ono who did the most hemming of a presentable char acter. One of the reverend gentlemen proved quite an adept at the work , for his hemming was not only by far the neatest , but ho did nearly double as much as the next best competitor , and therefore carried off the prize. In the 15 minutes allowed ho hemmed nearly ono side of his handkerchief. A Religious Movement. "Buddhism , " says a Berlin paper , S"is rapidly spreading in Europe. The 'number ' of converts is daily increas ing , especially in Germany , England Sand Hungary. " The influence of the higher religious 'thought ' of the Orient was hound , in jtheso days of rapid travel and aroused intellectual curiosity , to make itself felt , and ono of the signs of the times Is the growing sale of small popular epitomes of various phases of eastern religious and philosophic thought , and also translations of the great religious [ poems of the Orient. On this continent , Vodantism , The- josophy and esoteric Buddhism have [ become fairly well known , and the [ work of the now teachers Is not sel- 'dom ' on broad humanitarian lines ; [ especially may bo cited the education- jal work carried on at Point Loma , In Isouthorn California , and in Cuba , by "the " Universal Brotherhood and Theo- Isophical society ; In which are enlisted - [ listed men of wealth and high business ( capacity under the leadership of pvathorine Tingloy , a woman of great [ executive ability. The work done In training the young for practical life Is notable. Made a Better Play. "Waiter , " called the Irate diner , "there scorns to bo a dollar on this [ bill I can't account for.

" .asked the diner , detaining him. "Well , sir , I bet the cashier CO cents | you would BOO the mistake , and ho bet you wouldn't , so I win , sir. " "Suppose I hadn't noticed It ? " "He'd have gotten the dollar , sir. " "Oh , I see. Give mo your pencil , " and ho wrote a few lines on the back of the bill , folded It up and handed it to the waiter. "Take that to the cashier. " The waiter leaned over the cashier's shoulder as ho unfolded the paper. It read : "I'll bet you ? B that when you send this back you don't find me. " And they didn't. Shoes In Summer and Winter. Handsome Walter Clarkson , for many years the star pitcher of the old Harvard college team , is now the manager of one of Cleveland's big ehoo stores. The other day the once great college - lego twirler was appealed to by a man who asked : "Can you tell me why thcso patent leathers have cracked so badly ? " "Probably , " was the reply , "you bought them in the winter. Then it Is not hard to explain. In the sum mer a shoo will fit Itself to every foot. In the winter a six or eight dollar pair of shoes is ruined by a few days of cold weather. " A Debt of Art. "Tho professor says that music owes a great deal to Rossini. " said the young woman.

Washington , D C. It takes n good deal to shock Washington , but it got its shock all right. Major Sylvester , head of the police department , would not put pantalets on Venuu or supply her with a sweater. But ho did 11 ml It necessary to drnpo the marble uuilo which Mrs. A C Barney had shipped , from Paris to her homo In Washington which stood exposed to public viowi In the garden- her lesldence : It was not modesty nlono which Induced Sylvester to cover what Is thought to bo the counterfeit presentment of Mrs. Barney's daughter Natalie. Such throngs hud gathered to gaze at the marble and comment on it that the neighbors complained to the major and ho sent two detectives to cover Miss Natalie C. Barney. it with a tarpaulin. The picture is of Miss Barney , who Is said to have posed for her sister's figure of the re clining beauty When this statue was discovered In the Barney yard it was equal to the latest novelty in moving pictures for attracting n crowd. The people of Washington almost mobbed the Bar ney residence , and nearly toro down protecting fences in their efforts to get a clearer view of the nude figure. You would have thought It was the sale yard of a bustcd-up automobile , firm If you would have noted and counted the swell automobiles lined up In front of the Barney residence , with their owners eagerly searching for the marble figure with opera glasses. Adjacent windows wcro fill ed with the same morbidly curious. Taking it altogether there was n pret ty hot sccno with the mob which the police were speedily called to quiet ao it gathered about the Barney resl donco. The only explanation made of this display of uncommon art Is that tho' marble Is to decorate some portion of the interior of the Barney residence , ! and was so big it could not bo taken through windows or doors and a spo * [ clal opening would have to bo made , and BO the piece of sculpture- was 'chucked ' down beside the garden fence ( until it could be gotten insldo of the house.
