Quaint Ideas and Expressions Recorded -
corded as Having Been Rendered
by Coroner's Juries.
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.

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. "
"Oh , that's just a joke , sir , " apolo-
Iglzed the waiter , "just a bet the cash-
, ler and I have. I'll have it fixed right
nway , sir. "
j "What do you mean about a bet ? "
.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

POSED FOR STATUE THftT
SHOCKED WASHINGTON FOLK
GREAT FURORE RAISED OVER
MERE BIT OF SCULPTURED
MARBLE.
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.
