Simple Method for Termination.

At a meeting of the last congress OF
German scientists this subject was dis
cussed, and DR.. II. Frank mentioned that
there are but two ways to stimulate the
heart-electricity and mechanical concus.
sion of the heart. The first is considered
dangerous by him as it may easily destroy
the last power of contraction remaining
in the organ. But what is termed pee
toral conclusion" Is decidedly preferable.
DR.. Franks method is as follows: He
fe1es the hands on the wrist to an obtuss
anglo, places them both near each othe.
in the ileocecsl region, and makes vigor-
GUS strokes in the direction Of the heart
and of the diaphragm. These strokes are
repeated from fifteen to twenty times, and
are succeeded by a pause. during which
he strikes the chest over the heart re-
peatedly with the palm Of his hand. In
favorable cases this method is early sue
cessful, and sometimes twitching of the
lids or the angles Of the mouth appears
with surprising rapidity as the first sign
of returning life. As soon as these symp-
toms are noted, the simple manipulations
above described must be earnestly con-
tinued and persevered in from half to
one hour, for, with their cessation. the
phenomena indicating beginning Of return
of life also cease. Generally, the face as
sumes slight reddish tint, and at the
same time faint pulsaticn may be felt In
the carotids. By this method DR.. Frank
has seen life return In fourteen cases,

Dinner Tables, Old and New.

The old English dinner table was
massive thing and was heavily loaded for
dinner There were huge joints, enor-
nous game pies and the carcasses OF
poultry 1t was considered the correct
thing for the hostess to carve and to press
the guests to gluttony and the host to
pass the bottle several times too often.
With such display of food there was little
room for floral decorations In the course
If time the vegetables were banished
irom the table and handed by the attend
ants. Then the made dishes were dubbed
entrees and were cleared off the table and
brought in by the attendants piping hot.
Finally the meats were taken OF. and
at last tho guests were permitted to eat
or not to eat, without any influence on
the part Of the host or hostess. while at
the same time the praising of the viands,
which used to be the practice, no longer
became proper. The appearance at the
table, as well as the conduct at the table,
has changed. The table Is not SO massive
and the floral decorations are frequently
of the most elaborate and costly descrip-
ton People who cannot spend much
money on floral decorations. yet devote
time and taste to them, using such as may
be picked wild, ferns, berries, etc, besides
such cultivated ones as may be obtained.

whv She Took Lessons

Julius EichBerg, the we'll known Boston
musician, tells this story of en- early ex.
perience: One day a lady somewhat
advanced in years came to make arrange
ments for taking private lessons in sing
ing. At the end Of the second lesson the
teacher felt constrained to tell her that
her ear was not true. She received the
remark very coolly. and at the next lesson
sang as badly as before Il an afraid. u
said Mr. Eichberg. that you can never
learn to sing in tune" "Oh. it doesn't
matter" was the surprising answer.

teacher. 'Eo," said the pupil. Il don't

Uy1oNisM AND HOME RULE.

The Home Rule cause has made no progress
since the opening OF the present session Oh
Parliament. The Government majority has
not been reduced on any question relating 10
ireland, and the political authority OF the
Ministers has been increased by the passage OF
2 great financial measure and the introduction
of a broad scheme of local government Oh
struction has been abandoned by Mr.. Parnelrs
orders; Mr.. Balfout has been successful LII
governing Ireland with ntiexible hrmness;
and the popular impression has been strength
ened that whatever vicissitudes the future may
have in reserve. England is at present getting
on exceedingly we'll with Conservative Gov
crnment that brings III Liberal measures. ana
with Coercion act which is potent to keep the
peace In the island. The bye-elections, which
in the autumn ran heavily against the Govern
mept have shown unmistakable signs OF re-
action against Home Rule. The great reduc-
ton OF the Liberal majority in the Cover
division of Glamorganshire can be explained
in good part by discussions over candidates
and factions in the party; but coming as IL
does after reverses at Doncaster and elsewhere
il tends 20 confirm the Governments claim
that the constituencies have not repented OF
their verdict against Mr.. Gladstones bill.
Unionist prospects have materially improved
since the spalding election The Home
I:ulers have had much to depress and little to
encourage them in the proceedings at West
minister and in the bye-elections.
These results, while disappointing to sin
cere friends Of the Home Rule cause. were per-
haps inevitable in the circumstances. a
Ministry with great majority on its side had
presumptively six years lease of power 1t
could not be placed in minority without the
conversion Of the Liberal Unionists 10 Home
Rule. and this was not a result that could DC
anticipated after the sacrifices they had made
in taking firm stand against Mr.. Gladstone.
Ministers bad only to re-enact the Coercion
laws and to introduce Liberal measures In order
to retain the support Of their useful allies

elections are never an unerring test Of the con-
ditions of public opinion. During the last
years of Lord Beaconsfeld's administration
there were no indications in borough or county
elections of the great popular revolt against
him which occurred in 1880. The uncertain
ties and contradictions Of these local contests
arc so well understood in England that little
dependence is placed upon them by experienced
politicians. Even if the elections had con-
tinued TO be as favorable to the Liberals as
they were in the autumn, the Government
would not have swerved from its course. nor
have admitted that the constituencies had
withdrawn their support. The Ministers were
too securely entrenched in power to be dis
lodged within two years of the last appeal tn
the country.
Delay In the contamination of its hopes re-
specting legislative independence is not en-
tircly without compensations for the unhappy
island. The Irish people are under the dis
c,pline of self-rcstraint They are learning the
virtues Of patience, self-control and moderation
and are showing themselves TO be worthy of
that full measure of self-govemment which
their representatives have demanded in their
mama.

THE RFFORN MASK.

Mr.. Foulke, president of the Indiana Civil
Service Association. is an innocent person. lie
was actually so duped as to suppose that "The
New-York Nation cared something about
Civil Service Reform. and would publish in
formation as to Violations of the law In lndi-
ana. 1t seems to be mystery to him. even
vet why the valuable evidence he had to give
was suppressed by that journal. and never pub
lished. though editorially mentioned, by Har-
per's Weekly to which he also sent it, and he
was still more surprised and pained TO lind that
the President himself when the whole matter
was laid before him. replied that he was
sorry Mr.. Foulke had made the investigation"
and "hoped he would 60 slowly" Lest the
Civil Service Association should investigate too
much. the President appears to have concluded
TO investigate not at all. and so, according to
Mr. Foulke, eve have not had any Civil Ser
vice Reform in Indiana"
Nobody is surprised. The Presidents regret
that investigation had been made which re-
yealo the wide gap between his professions and
his performances docs not strike anybody as
strange. People who knew anything OF The
Nation" and other so-called organs OF Sham
Reform. could have informed Mr. Foulke be-
fore he made his experiment that no facts OF
the kind lie had to offer would be published
by them II is the wel-recognized function Of
these sham reformers to keep up the false
pretence that the President is doing as well Us
he can, so that Mr.. Cleveland may be, sustained
in making the fight for free trade. Civil
Service Reform was only mask for free trade
in the Presidential campaign Of 1884, and
particularly diaphanous mask at that. Since
| then il has become something worse.
The conduct of the public service in Indiana
is disgraceful. the Civil Service Association
reports. Ignorant and incompetent partisan
workers have been appointed, in such number
that the necessary duties OF the Government
cannot be performed; "mail accumuates in
street boxes until they are full and can receive
no MORE" and letter in one instance "took
three weeks to be delivered from one part OF
| the city of Indianapolis to another" The CYL
dence created no sensation because every one
knows that in greater or less degree it is true
Ct the public service everywhere. In all its
branches and in all parts of the country 1t has
disgracefully deteriorated, in consequence OF
the substitution Of 10000 to 10000 mex
perienced party workers for trained and efficient
officers The President must have been per-
fectly aware that deterioration would result
everybody else was aware Of it and the change:
have gone on nevertheless with the President
approval, while the sham reformers shout
hosannahs to the Great Rcformer. who ii:
