Painless Death.

The use Of carbon dioxide has been
recommended as speedy and pain
less means of extinguishing life in
animals, but it appears that death
does not always ensue at once on suf-
location by this gas. A frog was
recently placed in carbon dioxide fol
half All hour, and then, apparently
dead, was subjected TO some cleo.
trical experiments, but two hours
later was discovered as lively as ever
The observation suggests that sufro.
cation may produce at first a kind OF
catalepsy, and that life should not be
too hastily pronounced extinct in per.

The Smallest People.

Skeletons Of two Akkas, the piemy
people discovered by Schweinfurth in
1870, have been acquired by the Brit.
ish Museum, and show that this race
is undoubtedly the most diminutive
known. The stature of the male
skeleton is about an inch below four
feet, and that OF the female about as
much above. The few previous
measure ments recorded indicate that
these heights are rather below the
average, though living adult female
Of three feet ten inches is known.
Professor Flower finds that the Akkas
belong to the black or Negroid
branch OF the human species, and
that they are not allied to the Bush.

tribes they most resemble in size.

Abraham Hare, druggist, Bellcville, Ohio,
afiirms: "The best selling medicine have

WOMEN IN POLITICS.

Portland (orJ Daily News.
A number of enthusiastic ladies in
Greensburg, Indiana, are organizing
a Frances Cleveland Marching Club,
for the campaign. The name of the
place is ti,ly adapted for such Club.

tise drill and marching maneuvers,
and participate in Democratic pro-
cessious and at meetings. These
ladies are bent on a very absurd and
very foolish project. Mr.. Cleveland,
as IA candidate for the Presidency, is a
legitimate mark for the ordinary cam.
paigning shafts and arrows. But his
wife should be held sacred as the
name and character of every good
woman onght to be held. Bat if there
are to be Frances Cleveland clubs,
there will follow Frances Cleveland

Mrs. Cleveland Is not a candidate.
Her husband is. Organizing tleve-
land Clubs, is proper campaigning
work. But for ladies, who cannot be

to engage in organizations OF the
kind, is indicate, indiscreet, and re.

An ARTICLE WHICH SHOULD DE
READ BY ALL.

One Of the most striking papers in
the April number Of Scribner's Mag,
azine is Professor James Baldwin's
thoughtful and discriminating essay
entitled "rhe Centre of the Republic"
tho FIST Of the two papers review
ing the remarkable advances made
by the "Territory Northwest Of the
River Ohio" during the one hundred
years since the passage Of the Ordi-
nance for its settlement and govern.
M nt. The author shows that the
present prosperity of this region is
the outgrowtb Of sturdy race Of
pioneers who took every advantage OF
the great natural resources. But he
traces "the social and intellectual
phases Of development through which
the people Of the West have adj
xanced, rather than dilates upon the
unexampled national prosperity of
that section" The second paper will
throw much new light on the intel
,ectual activity Of the West. These
articles should be read by every one,
but especially by the rising genera
ton, as they convey as much infor-
nation as could be acquired by a
lengthy course in American history.

Corrailed By Sharks.
Sind Times.

A dinghy with grass from Dwarka foundered not very far from Bate, q port on the Dutch coast, while she was on her way to Karachi, when the crew, consisting of seven, took to the mast, which had unshipped. At the time she foundered the vessel was very close to the shore, and the crew were gradually working their way toward the beach. when one of their number was heard to shriek and im- mediately disappeared, and the others, to their horror, realized that they were surrounded by sharks, with no means of escaping, ss the mast not only gave with their weight, but could not be kept steady OF account of the rough state of the sea. The men were fin a state of anxiety and fear, not knowing whose turn would come next. One by one the men sud- denly disappeared until only one ye- mained, and by this time the storm having subsided, he managed to ball ance himself steadily on the mast, which drifted toward the beach on the following day. He was thus tossed about on the ses, expecting every moment to be his last, for two days and night.
