The question is a vexed one. According to an ancient tra&tion Cromwell's body was conveyed away immediately after his death In obedience to his lqjK or ders and was buried on Naseby held, "where he had obtained the greatest victory and glory." According to an other account, Mary, Lady Faucon berg, Cromwell's daughter, was able to convey the body away from its grave in the abbey and to have It bur ied in her husband's house of New burg, in Yorkshire, where the tomb, an impenetrable marble one. Is still shown. Another corpse was substitut ed for Cromwell's in the abbey, and it was this nameless corpse which under went the indignities put upon it in January, 1661, when the putative body was hanged on the gallows at Tyburn, together with Ireton's and Bradshaw's, while the head was set up on a pole above Westminster hall. This head, still transfixed by a spike which was let through the cranium by means of a specially drilled hole, is now in the possession of Horace Wil kinson of Sevenoaks. It is the head, curiously enough, of some one whose body has probably been embalmed, for the top of the skull has been sawed off In order, presumably, to admit of the removal of the The body to which this head belonged was burled under the gallows of Tyburn, nnless, which is probable, the Fauconbergs 1 obtained the body there and carried it off.—London Lancet. A TRAGIC EXPERIMENT. How a Husband Tried to Cur* His Wife's Fear of Pythons. Concerning pythons, the following is a true stdty: A young lady in England for a long time resisted her lover's en treaties to go out to India with him as his wife. She had a horror of the wild animals she believed she might en counter there, especially serpents. At length, however, after he had issued a sort of ultimatum, she consented to ac company him. She did not, however, leave her fears behind her and lived in constant terror of some day meeting what she so intensely feared. Her hus band did his best to laugh her fears away, but without avail. Then he re solved to try more drastic means. A huge python was killed in the neighborhood of his bungalow. With out telling his wife anything about it, he ordered the reptile to be brought into the drawing room and coiled up as if asleep on the hearth rug. Then he went out and called his wife, telling her to go into the drawing room and that he would join her in a few min utes. Soon after he heard a dreadful screaifi. "That will cure her of her fear of serpents," he smiled to himself and purposely delayed his entry. When at last he went into the drawing room he saw his wife lying dead on the floor, and coiled around her was another huge python, the mate to the one' that lay dead on the hearth rug.— St James' Gazette* The Turret Battery. Early in the nineteenth century, in ISI2, Colonel John Stevens conceived the idea of the construction of an iron plated vessel of war with, a saucer shaped hull, propelled by screws so ar ranged as to give a rotary motion to the structure. The battery was to be of the heaviest ordnance of the time and the plating heavy enough to resist the shot of similar guns at short range. The main purpose of the craft was harbor defense, and the plan of action was to moor the vessel by a chain leading down through the bottom of the ship at its center and to spin it around this center, firing gun after gun as it the line of fire, thusjin- '• " S .A A tag from a 10-cent piece will coont FULL value $ A tag from a 5-cent piece will count HALF value '' j TOBACCO with valuable tags v '■■; : 4 i Save your tags from OLD PEACH Tbitlty's 16-oz, Old Honesty My Tar , W.

PREMIUM DEPARTMENT * . THE AMERICAN TOBACCO CO., Jersey City, N. J. \ V" * Icipatlng the later Timby turret which la turn was the germ of the modern monitor armorclad. Such a vessel was actually built half a century later by ri;ev Russian government and was a good representative of the first Stevens battery.—Cassier's Magazine. Paved With Tombstones. "Not the least noteworthy thing about the beautiful building," writes Dr. Sundermann from Mayence to the Wochenschrift, referring to the cathe dral of that place, "is the pavement. This is made with stones on which there are Hebrew letters, which aroused our curiosity. Investigation showed that the stones at one time marked graves in the Jewish cemetery and had been taken thence when there was a scarcity of building material and used to pave the cathedral. They have re mained there ever since, and some of the inscriptions are still in a fair state of preservation." / Its Cost. A Frenchman, meeting an English soldier with a Waterloo medal, ani madverted sneeringly on the govern ment for bestowing such a trifle, which, he declared, did not cost 3 francs. "That is true, to be sure," replied the hero. "If did not cost the English gov ernment quite 3 francs, but it cost the French a Napoleon." Returned Empty. A mean multimillionaire who suf fered terribly from seasickness on his way back to New York has, it is said, demanded a rebate off his fare, claim ing special terms as a "returned empty."—Punch's Almanack. THE TREE FROG. Its Power of Changing Color For Self Protection. The tree frog is found throughout the eastern United States, ranging west to Kansas and Texas and north into Canada. It inhabits woods and or chards and is found on trees, stone walls, fences and houses. The eggs, which are deposited ear# in May, are attached singly or in small groups to grass or dead stems at the surface of the water. Early in July the young have passed through the tadpole stage and leave the water. They are green at first, but soon turn to gray or gray and green. The tree frog is largely nocturnal in habits and feeds on in sects. It is notable for its many color changes and varies from almost white to green or dark brown or various com binations of green and gray. While the tree frog is common throughout the eastern United States, Its purring trill is far more familiar than the frog itself, owing to its retir ing habits and powers of resembling In color the object on which it rests. The tree frog is thus one of the best as well as one of the most familiar exam ples of what is called protective colora tion, a resemblance in color between any animal and its surroundings that renders it inconspicuous and enables it to elude the eyes of animals. Miss Mary Dickerson in "The Frog Book" says: "The color varies greatly at different times and in different con ditions. In bright light and high tem perature it may be yellowish white with no markings. In a dark, moist or cool place it may be deep stone gray or brown. When the background of color is green his characteristic mark dngs may_or may not appear. The changes of color are not rapid, an hour at least seeming necessary to create any radical difference. But it is usual ly true that the given dress harmonize® BO perfectly with the surroundings that the tree frog is as invisible as though he were Perseus in his charmed hel met." First Aid. Mr. Figgins, the head of the family, observing that the eaves over his kitchen had become clogged by au tumn leaves, climbed a tree standing near the house, with the intention of removing the obstruction. Just as he was about to scoop out a handful of the leaves the dead limb on which he was standing gave way, and he start ed to fall. Instinctively grasping at other limbs and managing to get his legs round the trunk of the tree, he checked his fall and hung there, head downward, holding on with all his might. "Sophia!" he yelled. "Come out here, quick!" Mrs. Figgins, terribly alarmed, came hurrying out. "Oh, Arthur," she exclaimed, "how did that happen?" "Never mind how it happened!" he shouted. "Get a chair!" The chair was brought. "Now stand up on it." "Arthur, I'm not strong enough to help you down!" "I'll get down all righC he panted, "as soon as I can get right end up ward. What I want you to do is to take this fountain pen out of the hold er in my vest pocket. It's leaking like anything."—Youth's Companion.
