The Force Of Growing Plants.

The force exerted by growing plants
is very great. Fungi are composed of
soft tissues, yet growing mushroom
has been known to lift large paving
stone. The rootlets of pines and cedar
growing on the sides of rocky declivi-
ties penetrate narrow crevices in the
rocks, and finally by their growth
loosen huge masses and send them
tumbling down the cliff. Years ago
President Clarke, Of the Massachusetts
Agricultural College, put pumpkin
into harness and demonstrated that it
was capable Of lifting thousands of
pounds. In cemetery in Hanover a
seel terminated in a crevice beside .
tombstone which contained 20 cubic
feet. The Seeding, now small tree,
has lift d the stone over five inches.
Not the least wonderful Of phenomena
of this class is the force exerted hv.a
radicle of the terminating plant. OAR
win has demonstrated that it exerts II
force which, in proportion to its size,
is astonishing. This force the plant
let utilities in sending its roots into
the soil, and the strangest part Of the
strange phenomenon is that the little
soft rad;cle is capable of penetrating
soil very much haraer. -

The Point of Death.

Although usually it is sy to tell
when dissolution has occurred. vet
there are cases which occur from time
to Time rendering the matter one of
very grave uncertainty. The point at
which the soul relinquishes the body
is among the most difficult things to
establish. Perhaps this uncertainty
is one Of the reasons why there is such
curiosity as to death beds and last
words. We are an1iou, to know how
affairs appear to those who are passing
away. They are undergoing the
great change through which every
one must pass.
How does it look to them? Very
little more information is TO be gath
cred from the dying than from the
dead. Certain inferences may be
drawn from the surroundings-the
departing color. the cold, deepening
stare, the groan, the rattle in the
throat, the stiffcning limb but they
are as likely to misleal as not. And
the same may be said of the death say
ings. They are as enigmatic as the
declarations of the oracles. We may
take sometimes half a doz n meanings
from them, as, for. instance, Geothe's
MUTE IIs r.. ~ aSs A. Ii75 -Sc1s1 ..
earthly darkness growing around him,
or was it the breaking of the eternal
light upon his vision, or was there yet
some deeper significance in the excla-
nation
Medical works show THAT people
have been resuscitated fifteen, twenty
aud even thirty minutes after appar-
ent death. Heldon, the highwayman,
is said to have been dead three.quar-
tiers of an hour. His body was cut
down after. hanging that length of
time, and was handed over to his
friends after thorough examination.
That night be was seen as we'll as ever
except for a stiffness Of the neck.
Pryce, the Norwich miser, was dead
as Caesar, according to those about
him, and until some thoughtful per-
son, distrusting the warmth Of his
hands, administered stimulant. He
arose and lived years afterwards. Cases

Supposed deaths from drowning
show that resuscitation may take place
thirty or forty minstes after all life
has apparently left the boly. The
question as to what becomes of the
soul in this long interval is the one
which puzzles many. But the chief
point in the matter is that the physi-
clans and friends should not too read
lily accept appearances in the critical
hour. There may, as in the Fraser
instance, be yet some spark of life re-
manning. As DR.. Lackerstein claims,
there is absolutely no reason why, with
the resources he employed at hand,
any one should die of an over dose of
chloroform or from a shock while I'M
dergoing surgical operation.

There are many young people who
cannot become what their parents
plan for them to be in life, but theJ
can become useful in following some
special gifts that God has given them.
Such may find the new school year an
encouragement to best effort in exam
pies like Tony-and they are many.

Dedication POSTPONED.

After raising about fifteen hundred dol
lars in supplementary subscriptions for
the expense account on the new M. E.
church building, Rev. DR.. Adams, presi-
dent of the Illinois Wesleyan University,
who was present to dedicate the build
ing, did not do so, because, in order to
iquidate completely the debt on the
house, some four or five hundred dollars
we're short. 1t is our understanding that
subscriptions to cover this amount have
been secured this week, and that the
building will be dedicated next Sunday
evening (2S) by Presiding Elder Stolz, of
Ellsworth, Kansas.
There is no Disgusting the fact that,
while all are proud of this church edifce,
there are those who believe that at least
a minor fraction of the money which it
has cost would have been applied to bet
ter advantage on one or more buildings
for other church denominations, some Of
which are sure to try to build at an early
day. This statement, bear in mind, is
free from any charge OF misappropria-
ton of funds. Mr.. Stayt intimates that
he will account in an early publication
for every dollar of the four thousand or
upwards which the building has cost.

FROZEN TO DEATH
ONE IN GRAHAM COUNTY.

George Baker, of Wildhorse township
was frozen to death last Tuesday night
while returning from Stockton TO Nie6
demur, and when within about mile
of the latter place. A horse which be
was riding, belonging to Mr.. q. T.
Fletcher, was also frozen. Mill5yoOA
| Times, I0.
| ONE IN TREao COUNTY.
Perhaps the saddest in the list of sad
cases of freezing to death in the blizzard
of Tuesday of last week occurred in the
Saline valley, few miles northwest OF the
town of Ellis. AS the word comes to
us, Mrs. Samuels, whose husband is Ev-
ing, was teaching the public school in
her district. We do not know hoy many
children they had. A daughter Of theirs
was at school on the fatal day With her
mother. Along late in the afternoon
perhaps about sunset-the pupils began
to grow restless over the prospect OF not
being able to get home in SAFETY. In
answer to their murmurings, thor teach
er talked pleasantly, and counsded them
to be content, because their parents
would be there to get them in due time.
On the observation that she Would step
ont, and see whether anybody was yet
in sight, the teacher stepped out of the
school house. There was no out house
on the grounds, and it is supposed that
she felt compelled to 60 into draw, per-
haps a few hundred feet distant. Poor
woman! She never returned.
The Ellis Headlight of last Tuesday
contains these two items:
"A number of our citizens went out to
the Saline last Sunday to search for Mrs.
Samuels. They met number of the
citizens of the Saline, making a party of
thirty -seve n, all mounted. They looked
all day without finding any trace of her
body
''The search for the body of Mrs. Sam
uels is kept up by the neighbors living
in the vicinity of her late home. The
country for miles around the school
house has been thoroughly searched. It
is pretty certain that her body will be
found in some one Of the numerous draws
that are yet filled with snow"
LATER. = Joshua Musgrave told us
est nrday that, up to Thursday ever in Z,
Mrs Samuels's body had not been found,
the hunting for it had been |
conducted with vigilance. The school |
house in which she was teaching is built |
Of sod, and is quite comfortable. 1t is in
Trego county, but the Samuels family
live in Ellis county, some four miles from
he school house. Tnere were, we learn,
perhaps not more than four or five chill
lren at school on the Tuesday of the
blizzard. They remained in the school
house all night, and we're rescued the
lext morning by parents or other friends.

DEATHS DOINGS.

Last Sunday afternoon a Wa-Keeney
citizen of great purity of character passed
away. Mr.. T. II. Maxwell, of the firm of
Burnham & Maxwell, had, as we stated
last week, taken business trip to Ness
City, and fallen sick. On his way home
from Ness City, two weeks ago last
Wednesday, he took sick, and was we'll
cared for by the family of Mr.. Lake,
eight miles this side of Ness City and
one mile south of Nevada post-office.
Mr.. Maxwell never got able to go around
again. His disease, we now hear was
quick consumption. He lay eight days
before medical help was summoned, DR..
Jones, of this city, then going to him.
Mr.. Maxwell would not have medicine or
doctor sooner. A coffin was sent from
here last Monday. His remains were
brought here on Tuesday Wednesday
morning the remains were started to their
resting place, at Lowell, Lake county,
Ind, in charge of Mr.. F. H. Durham
Mr.. Maxwell was about twenty five years
Of age.
The death of Mr.. I. Derr, which took
place last Saturday at the Commercial
House, in this city, is treated in "Collyer
Carvings" Mr.. Derr was about forty
four years of age He leaves a large fam
lily In poor circumstances. Captain
Trego Post of the Grand Army betrayed
the expenses of the burial. The arrange
ments were liberal
Daniel Richardson died of typho-mala-
ria yesterday morning at his residence,
about four miles east of this place. He
was, we are told, perhaps not far from
fifty years of age. DR.. Jones, who is the
family physician, says three of the family
are dangerously sick yet. Others of them
have been sick this fall. They are very
indeed.
