A Country BOc Or's Tragic Death.
TSpringfeld Republican.

The death of DR.. Cyrus B. Smith, of
CRANKY, who was killed by lightning in
his bed yesterday morning, removes an
intelligent, devoted and popular physi-
clan. Few country doctors have been
more alert in their business, better i'll
formed in general affairs and of more ser
vice to the community. The doctor
visited a South Hadley patient in the
evening, returning at II o'clock tired and
suffering with headache, and retired to
an upstairs room, leaving his wife and
two children below. When the shock
came at 2 o'clock Mrs. Smith was awak-
ened, and while getting light began cali
mo her husband, who did not reply. Go
inc up to his room she found him dead
and almost completely covered with pias-
tering, splinters feathers, &c. There was
hole in the roof over the bed large
enough for a man to get through, and
nearly everything in the room was in
ruins. Some other parts of the house
were struck, and splinters were found
several rods away. Mrs. Smith, her two
children and two other persons in the
house were uninjured.
Help arrived i'll timeto get the doctor $
body out before the house burned, A
| arge scorched place was found on the
breast, and there was every indication
that death came instantly. The neigh
bors saved some Of the furniture and the
barn. Dr. Smith was born at South Had.
ley, April "a, 1889, attended school al
Hartford, Conn, and al Northampton
and studied medicine in the latter place
He afterwards entered the office of Pro
fessors H. A. and T. Childs, of Pittsfeld
and attended the medical college in tha
town, graduating in 1859, the younges
member of his class. He began practice
in Indian Orchard, and removed from
there to CRANKY in the spring OF 1862
In July of the same year he entered tn
army as assistant surgeon of tho Thirty
fourth Massachusetts, Regiment an'
served three years, being promoted dui
ing the time TO surgeon OF the Eleventh
He returned to CRANKY as soon as mus
tered out, and has since resided there
working up very large practice. I

Alive ia d Coffin.
[Waco (Tex.) Examiner.1


A case of resuscitation from death, or
death, occurred yesterday
Mrs. O. G. Witt, who had been III for
some time, and who had been kept alive
only by stimulants for day or two past,
was, after what appeared to be the final
struggle, pronounced dead This occurred
in the forenoon. Later in the day the
body was attired for burial, and still
later, coffin having been provided, the
corpse-or supposed corpse-was lifted
into it, HOT for immediate sepltlture, but
for convenience and better care. The
sorrowing friends were amazed to see the
fingers distinctly move. There was a
faint futter ut the pulse and the region
around the heart still was warm. A
physician was called, who applied a gal
vanic hattery and made use Of other re
storativcs, but without success At II
o'clock last night all signs Of life hat
again disappeared.

How to Dry Flowers with Sand

There are many of our brilliant flowers
such as dahliahs, pansies, pnks, geraniums,
sweet Williams, carnations, gladioli, which
may be preserved so as to retain their color
for years. White flowers will not answer for
this purpose, nor any succulent plant, as ny
acinth, or cactus. Take deep dishes or those
of sufficient depth to allow the flowers to be
covered an inch deep with sand. Get the
common white sand, such as is used for
securing purposes, cover the bottom of the
dish with layer half an inch deep, and
then lay in the flowers, with their stems
downward, holding them firmly in place
while you sprinkle more sand over them I'M
til all places between the petals are filled and
the flowers buried out of sight. A broad
dish will accommodate quite large num-
Der. Allow sufficient sand between. Set
the dish in dry, warm place, where they
will dry gradually, and at the end of week
pour off the sand and examine them. If
there is any moisture in the sand, it must be
dried out before using again, or fresh sand
may be poured over them the same as before.
Some flowers will require weeks to dry, while
others will become sufficiently dry to put
away in week or ten days. BY this simple
process, flowers, ferns, &C., are preserved
in their proper shape as well as in their
proper color, which is far better than to press
them in. When arranged in groups or
mounted on cards or in little straw baskets
they may be placed in frames under glass;

A Difficult Task Made Easy.


The "Home and Society" department of
Scribner for September contains paper on
domestic Nursing by tr,ined nurse,
from which we quote this practical piece of
advice:
Nothing is more easy to an experienced
nurse or more difficult to an inexperienced
one, than t. change the bed linen with a
person in bed. Everything that will be re-
quired must he at hand, properly aired, be-
fore beginning. Move the patient as far as
possible to one side of the bed, and remove
all but one pillow. Untuck the lower
sheet and cross sheet and push them
toward the middle of the bed Have a
sheet ready folded or rolled the long way,
and lay it on the mattrass, unfolding it
enough to tuck in at the side. Have the
cross sheet folded once lengthwise and roll
it also, laying it over the under one and
tucking it in, keeping the unused portion of
both still rolled. Move the patie over to
the side thus prepared for him; the soiled
sheets can then be drawn away, the clean
ones completely unrolled and tucked in on
the other side. The coverings need not be
removed while this is being done; they can
be pulled out from the foot of the bedstead
and kept wrapped around the patient. To
change the upper sheet take off the spread
and lay the clean sheet Ocer the blankets,
securing the upper edge to the bed with
couple of pins; standing at the foot, draw
out the blankets and soiled sheet, replace
the former and put on the spread. Lastly,
change the pilow-cases.
