THE collapse Of the Anglo Russian Afghan
commission shows that Russian diplomacy
has again been too much for England.
The dispute is now no nearer settlement
than it was year or more ago, but Russia is
much better prepared tor war. She has built
the trans-Caspian railway and launched a
powerful fleet of steamers on both the Cas-
plan and Black seas, while England has ac-
complished but little in the way of prepsrs-
ton for the inevitable struggle in the Afghan
mountain passes. They will be held by the
party that can 'iget there" first and most
numerously.

How TO TELL WHEN A PERSON is DEAD
While we are decidedly in favor OF crema
t;on we do not admit that the fear OF beng
luried alive should be reason to cause u
TO reject burial and to adopt cremation
There are two simple tests by which we ca Y
ALWAYS convince ourselves whether per
son is really dead or not. One test ID ING
same that has been crowned with prize
by the French government, witch had LOT
Years offered a large reward for the discovery
of any method, always applicable, Away

the most ignorant The methc ! of deter.
mining actual death, which waa cons'dere2
by the French government as being worth
of the reward, is the following: when I'M
fingers of person who is supposed TO he
dead are fully extended but kept near TO-
gether, and if placed in front OF candle
light in dark room peculiar bright rec
co lor. due to the capillary circulation, Will
be visible where the fingers touch eacf
other, if there is any life left. This test has
thus far proved the most reliable. The
other is based upon the well.knoWn fac
that the muscles of human being VII

strongest electrical current than Tor on'

into effect the obligations OF the char
ter OF incorporation granted by such
State and to prevent violations OF the
same by such courts and the officers
thereof, and the waste and wrongful
appropriation OF the assets and re-
ceipts OF such corporations in the in
tereBis OF individuals. In offering the
resolution Senator Call referred 10 his
recent speech on Florida land grants.
especially in connection with the
Florida Railroad Company, in which
speech he had commented on the
course pursued by the United States
Court and the conduct Of the receiver
appointed by it.
All the private pension bill on the
calendar, with the exception of half
a dozen, passed.
A number OF bills were passed,
among which were the following: A

the act OF March 8, 1879, or of July /,
1879, after having made final proof OF
settlement end cultivation under the
