How to Tell when a Person is Dead.
From the Medical and Surgical Reporter.

from the Medical and Surgical Reporter.
While we are decidedly in favor of crema-
ton we do not admit that the fear Of being
buried alive should be a reason to cause us to
reject burial and to adopt cremation. There
are two simple tests by which we can always
convince ourselves whether person is really
dead or not.
One test is the same that has been crowned
with prize by the French government, which
had for years offered large reward for the
discovery of any method, always applicable,
always reliable, and one that may be prac-
Used by the most ignorant. The method OF
determining actual death which was cOnsid-
cred by the French government as being wor-
thy of the reward is the following:
When the, fingers of pers n who is sup
posed TO be dead are fully extended, but kept
near together, and if placed in front Of a
candle light in dark room, peculiar bright
color, due to the capillary circulation, Will be
visible where the fingers touch each other if
there is any life left.
The other Is based upon the well known fact
that the muscles of a human being will never
respond for longer time to the strongest
electrical current than for one hour and q
half after death; while as long as life lasts
may its evidence be ever so little. the contrac-
tihty OF The muscles, il not affected BIZ some
forms of paralyss-and in cases thus affected
when death seems to occur, it always is real

great speech whatever we're the topic or the
time, that did not leave the impression that
ne loved nothing, desired nothing. so much as
the good and glory OF America; that he knew
no North and no South; that he did not seem
TO summon around him the whole brother
hood OF states and men and mold them TO his
heart. This gave freRhness and energy 10 ali
his speeches: this set the tune to the universal
harmony. Even his studies revealed this pas
sion. He knew American history by heart as a
statesman, not as an antiquary should know it,
The PLAIN, noble, men, the high aims and hard
fortunes ofthe Colonial time, the agony and the
glory OF the revolutionary war and Of the
age OF the constitution we're all familiar TO
him; but chiefly he loved to mark how the
SD rlt OF national life was evolving itself all
the while; how the colonies grew to regard
one another as children ~ the same mother
and, therefore fraternaly; how the common
danger. the common oppression of the ante
revolutionary and revolutionary period
served to fute them into one; how the consti-
tuition made them for mally one; and how the
grand and sweet ana imperial sentiment Of a
united national life came at last to penetrate
and warm that whole vast and various mass

Tapped warm in the care of a watchful love.
She sits in the sunshine this summer day,
Yet, All! it is scarcely a month ago
Since love could do nothing but weep and
pray.
To the cleaning gate of Gods heaven she
went,
The songs of His angels she nearly heard;
And now as we look in her pearl pink face,
Our hearts within US are strangely stirred.
So little more and, all mystery past,
This girl had been wiser than all the wise,
DID her soul hear something tongue may not
tell
As it gazes at us through soft blue eyes?
And who might have been in the heavenly
choir.
Must shrink from the shadow Of pride and
wrong,
NJ ust walk in the light of the cleaning gate.
In step to the air of angels song.
So this young life surely must henceforth
bear
A solemn sweetness, tender grace
As of one who turns to her daily task

Henry Clay Bascom, the prohibition
candidate for Governor of New York, says
that the real reason the Republicans of
that state have determined TO hold no
state convention this year is cowardice.
They are afraid TO face the prohibition IS
sue. 1t is pretty big issue, and that the
Republicans are afraid 10 face it is not To
be wondered at. Mr.. Bascom says that
the Republican leaders have been flirting
with prohibition and coquetting with the
liquor interests, and they now find their
party out of favor with both the prohibit
tionists and the liquor men. They have
got what they deserve.
