_ n; the old Church of St. Fidel in
, Wt, in Alsace, found this bust in
. . Chub under the choir. This part of the ‘
' was built in 1094 by the grand-
mother-of thé great Emperor Frederick

tout-in the remains of members of the
,v families of the neighborhood, whose

their mounts in repair down to the mid-
dlsof‘ the catchment): century and some
mil now. This tomb that the workmen
opened had Keen rebuilt in the seventeenth
' ,ty and was supposed to date from,
ttiine. When it was opened, the re-
: mine of a wooden c'oflin were found, and
this wonderful petrifsction of bust and

hit, the right arm lies across the breast,
smiths left hand is perfectly preserved.
'fllo clothing is of the finest quality, along
linen chemise, linen underclothing and a
woolen jacket, with a costly mantle, such
as might have been worn by the lady ab-
, , bees of a convent.
‘ The clothing and the way the hair is
- worn prove that this woman lived in the
eleventh or twelfth century. She was
evidentlya woman of quality, about 40
you-sold, maybe the Duchess Adelheid, the
aunt of Barbarossn and daughter of Hil-
dugsrde von Schwaben, who built the
church. Tradition has it that Adolheid died
‘ of the plague and was buried at Schlett-
mat. This woman undoubtedly died of
I contagious disease, and it is to this fact
that her preservation is ascribed: When
“shewas buried, mortar of some kind, or
some preparation of lime, was poured over
, he, which, as it hardened, preserved the
~, face and bust. The face is of great beau-
‘ ty, the features clear cut and refined and
the expression noble. it might well be the
' face of a woman who died as Adelheid is
' laid to have died—while nursing the
plague stricken peasants of her neighbor-

l The Marquis Paid.
- The famous surgeon Veipeau was vis-
lted one day at his house during the con-
sultation hour by a marquis renowned for
his closeness. Velpeau informed the mar-
uis that an operation was urgent, and
g. t the fee would amountto4,000 francs.
At this the mamuis made awry face and
left. A fortnight later Dr. Velpenu, while.
, making his rounds in the Hospital do in
2 Charite, had his attention atttrncted by a
' face that seemed familiar to him. In an--
swer to his inquiry it was stated that the
paint was a footman of a nobleman in the
Fnubonrg Saint Germain. The surgeon
found that his case resembled in every par—
..-.t1¢ulnr the somewhat unusual one for
, which the mmuis had consulted him u
{might prev usly. Iie refrained, how-
' "I. from making any comments.
.. Three weeks after the operation, when
the patient was about. to be discharged,
.Dr. Vslpeau called him aside and ex-
Clalmed: “Monsieur, i am extremely flat-
tered and pleased to have been uliloto cure

i'bocame livid. “You can do what you
: about it,” continued the doctor, “but
i you refussnll Paris will knowtomorrow
that the Marquis do D— adopted thg

“Let’s see,” mused the drummer at a De-
troit hotel the other evening, “but isn’t
there a place around here somewhere called
Lake St. Clair lists?”
"Yes, sir." replied the alderman in the’
KWUP- ‘
"Great place for fishing?"
"The bestin the world." ' ' ‘
"Always sure of getting fish at the
flats?"
“Always, if in season."
f‘I've rem! and heard a great deal of the
place, and i know several Cincinnati people
who have been up there. One of ’em told
me he caught four‘perch up there between
sunrise and sunset." ‘
“Only four!” gasped the alderman.
"Why, my dear sir. what could your friend
have been doing all that day?"
“Fishing for perch. lie didn‘t even stop
for dinner. Another one told me that he
caught three black bass during the week he
made a business of fishingdrut of course”—
“Only three black bass in aweekl I’d
like to know what sort of a fisherman your
friend calls himself?" .
“He is rated an A1 man. but I am sorry
to say nobudyhas any confidence in his
word. His story wasn’t quite as bad as
that of his brother, though. Sayl 'There
was a man who stood right up at thobar of
the liurnet House and gave us his solemn
Word that he caught. n pike up there which
weighed two full pounds. He wouldn’t
take all airsction of an ounce. They ex-
pelled him from a club for lying, butl have
often wondered if he didn't really believe
what he was telling.”
“lie didn’t claim but two pounds for his
pilltei" demanded the aldermauas he turned
pa e.
"Only two pounds. There was aCoving—
ton man in thcparty, and when he got
back home he went around telling every-
body that be hooked a fish so large that it
broke his line. They were going to run
him for mayor of the town, but that killed
him dead. People argued that if he would
lie about one thing he would about an-
other, and thatit wasn’t «safe thing to put
u liar in public office."
"Was that all he claimed—that a fish
broke his line?”
“That'snll, but it settled his bush pretty
quick. So there is good fishing} at the
tints, ch? I'm glad to meet a man who
knows all about it. Now, alderman, I wish
you’d give me a few particulars."
“.\'o,sir! No, sir!" exclaimed the. older-
spiration from his brow.
“\Vun’t you tell me how many perch you
have caught in a month up there?"
“No, sir!”
"Nor the weight of your largest fish?”
“No, sir!"
"But you see, alderman"~—
"i see nothing! i won‘t tell you one
dnmed word about fishing. 1 wussgivcnto

straightforward man, but I have discovered
to the contrary. No, sir—not 0 statement-—
