Proof Of Death.

If most people are afraid of anything,
it is of being buried alive. That cases
do not happen where it is very difficult
even for the experienced physician to de-
termine whether a PERSON is really OF but
apparently dead, without his having re-
course to means wikch, while they would
at once settle the dispute, would place
life, if it really still sxisted, in jeopardy,
may be judged from the fact that the
French Academy, slime ten or fifteen
years ago, offered aJrize of forty thous-
and trans for the 7~iscovery of some
means by which eSFR the inexperience
may at once determi : whether in a given
case death had ergWt Or not. A physi-
clan obtained the p re. He had discov-
cred the following yell-known phenome-
non. If the handc,f the suspected per-
son is held toward ohe candle or other ar
titicial light, with ,fhe fingers stretched,
and one touching tee other, and one looks
through the spacea between the fingers
toward the light, le}ere appears q scarlet
red color where n1e fingers touch each
other, due to the vstill circulating fluid
blood, as it shonss itself through the
transparent, not AFT congested tissues;
but when life is extinct this phenomenon
at once ceases, hae most extensive and
thorough trials esablished the truth of
this observation, aad the prize was award,

A Prudent SerYanf.

A young Austrian count, imprudently
fond of the gaming-table, by a run Of
luck at Baden found himself a winner Of
thirty thousand forms, carried the money
away with him and deposited it carefully
in his desk, fully intending to recon-
mence operations next morning with re-
newed vigor. To his ~unspeakable dis
may. however, the precious roll of notes
had in the course of the night unac-
countably disappeared, and with it his
servant, an old retainer of the family, Of
whose honesty he had hitherto never en-
tertained the slightest doubt. Ten days,
later, while still bewailing his loss, the alb
sentee quietly entered the room as if moth
ing had happened, and handed a folded
paper to his master. Where have you

Grant Him.

We find the following story in a Wash
ington letter to the Minneapolis Tn
bune:: While speaking of General Grants
illness to an old frontiersman who has
been here ON business before the land
office, the man of quarter sections and
wigwams, squatter rights and toma-
hawks remarked: On one occasion Grant,
then a lieutenant, and a lady and John
Altman, the now we'll known mail CON
tractor, occupied solely one of the stages
on the southern overland route. The
driver was q master of profanity, and
every time q horses hoof struck the
ground he would accompany it with a
chunk of choice cuss words. lie had a
voice like q calliope, too, and it was ex-
tremely unpleasant for the lady, who
happened to be going to join her nus,
band. an army officer. She blushed
and blushed until Altman could stand
it no longer. He got up, poked
his head out of the window and told the
driver if he didn't shut up he would lick
him at the next change station. That
tickled the driver to death, and he
amused himself until the station was
reached by enumerating the number oil
teeth, eyes, jawbones and ribs he would
knock out of ''the tenderfoot inside"
when the station was reached, Altman,
who was a wonderfully powerful man
and perfectly scienced, took that driver
out behind the shed and beat him up
so badly that a coyote would have run
away from the sight. The rest of the
journey was silent. as far as the driver
was concerned, but Altman and Grant
fell into a more genial conversation than
that which had characterized the first
part of the trip. After several hours
they separated, Grant having arrived at
his destination.
In 1870 Altman came on to Washing
ton to see about some mail contracts, for
which he had been the lowest bidder,
but which for some reason had not been
awarded to him. One afternoon he was
standing in front of Willard hotel when
IL stout man with full heard closely
cropped stepped up to him and inquired:
sis your name Altman"
John replied that he had the distina
guished honor of bearing that name.
.sDo you remember one day twenty
years ago whipping a stage-driver who
was swearing in the hearing OF q lady
passenger r.
ooh, yes, " said John.
ssI'm the lieutenant who was in that
stage" continued the stout man, my
names Grant. Come up to the White
House and see ME, and If there's any
thing I can do for you let me know
The very next day John went up, and
three days afterward he was On his way
west with those contracts awarded te
him slowed away in his grip.

Original Reasoning,

One hears occasionally of illogical reas-
oning. The following are two instances:
A married lady with a family, who lived
in a villa in the exterior environs of Lon
don was asked why she was at the ex-
pense of keeping a cow, seeing that it
would be surely much cheaper to buy
milk for the hpusehold. "Well,s said
she in reply, s'we keep the cow because
we have a field quite at hand, which an
swers very nicely" "But,n was the re-
joinder, ''why do you rent the field?'
The answer was: Because, you know,
we have got the cow!" The other in
stance occurred in my young days at
PEBBLES. A lady in reduced circum-
stances mentioned to a friend that she
had just arranged to rent q house belong.
ing to a baker in the town. The friend
was somewhat surprised at the announce
ment, considering the lady's circumstan-
ces, and asked if the expense would not
be too much for her. "Oh, not at all, =

A Nuisance.

A woman who has no home duties, or
who does not attend to such duties, is a
pest to her acquaintance. II may take
her a long time to make her breakfast
toilet, but her outside garments go on
like magic when she has once decided to
make q morning or afternoon call. She
will not work. and she will not let her
neighbors work. Her acq~uaintances are
kept in a state of chronic discomfort in
the expectation of a visit, and a door
bell in her vicinity cannot ring without
striking terror to the heart of the lady of
the house. A call from this idle person
means simply loss of time without the
slightest compensation. The work in the
kitchen or the nursery must be abandoned;
and this means, with practical, eonsci-
encious housekeepers, not only the giving
up of the work for the time, but some
time yet to come. The work planned for
that day and omitted for that day means
overwork at another time, confusion, and
anxiety.

HLw Shoi Was Cured

Said the doctoy.: 1.-THE most striking
case of my life was that of a woman who
had not left hey bed for several years,
She ate well, shed slept well, her pulse
was reasonably yegular, But every few
days she wouldt send for me in great
haste, and | would go and make a slight
change in the bread pills on which | was
keeping her. Finally | got tired, and de
cided to try heroic treatment. So, after
hearing her STORY, l began to laugh
heartily. / looked at her, and then |
would begin again. kept this up for a
considerable time, and she kept getting
more and more angry. She wanted to
know what was the matter. | told her
that I was laughing at her. The idea was
so ridiculous t. me that she should lie
there day after Gay, and pretend to be
sick, Why, said l, there is nothing in
the world the matter with you but lazi-
ness kept on. She finally reached
for her she shoe, and threw it at me, or
dering me to get out of the house. ] pre-
tended to get angry at that, but kept on
with my abuse. Then she jumped up,
and selling the broom drove me out of
doors. She was a we'll woman from that
moment" No doubt many hypochan-

eaten unless thoroughly cooked, with
/ , exception of fresh, ripe fruits and
i getables which can be peeled or
p..ired. Green things, which it is GUS
tomary to eat %uncooked, like lettuce,
should be taken very sparingly. Care
should be exercised regarding the use Of
ice, for while ice cut in the winter pre-
ceding an epidemic would not be likely
to contain the germ, it nevertheless may
become the medium for its transmission;
it presents one condition favorable to It's

growth. The best refrigerators have the
ice and the articles of food entirely sepa-
rate. Moreover, says DIR. Bortlett, ''be-
ware of sure cures" The concluding
chapter is on distinction, which means
the destroying of these little organisms
whose development produces decompo'
s%ition, disease Or death. The application
of this process is nothing new, but it is
gradually being perfected. Some people
think anything that will remove a bad
smell is a disinfectant, but it isn't. Most
of the compounds advertised as disin-
fectants are only deodorizers. The true
disinfectants are germ killers, and thus
far only three are known, corrosive sub

A Curious Tradition.

The Abyssinians have a curious tradi-
ton as to the custom of burying the dead.
They say that when Adam found the
body of the murdered Abel he carried it
about upon his shoulders for twenty Gays,
not knowing how to dispose of it. Lhe
Almighty took pity on him, and sent
forth a crow with a dead young II on
its back. he crow flew before Adam
until it came to a tract of sandy ground,
in which it dug a hole with its feet and
there buried its young one. When Adam
saw this he dug a grave in the sand ano
buried his dead boy in it.

Ancient Dogs.

In the Danish Kitchen middens, o.
heaps Of household refuse, piled up by
the men of the newer stone period-a
time when our Scandinavian ~forefathers
used Clipped and polished fints instead
OF metal for their Weapons-are found
b~one-cuttings belonging to some species
of the genus eanis. Along with these re-
mains are some Of the long bones Of
birds. all the other bones of the said
birds being absent. Now it is known
that the bird bones here found are the
very e which dogs cannot devour,
while the absent ones are such as they
can bolt with ease, and it has been inge-
~niously argued from this that the re-
mains in question did really belong to a
domestic dog, as, if the animals to
which they appertained had been wolves,
they would have made short work OF the
long bones as well rs of the others.
Other dog bones are found in Denmark
in later periods. At the time when the
flint knives were succeeded by bronze a
large dog existed. and at the time when
iron was used one larger still. In Swift
erland, during the newer stone period, a
dog existed which il probably the oldest
of which we have any record. 1t .spar-
