The following notes OF the sad death OF
the wife OF Hon. L. =. Woodruff, editor of
the Johnstown Democrat, is taken from the
Johnstown Tribune OF January IS, last
Wednesday:
After long and painful Illness, the be-
loved wife OF Hon. l.. ID. Woodruff expired
shortly after O'Clock this forenoon at the
family residence, No 263 Locust street.
The ancestors OF Mrs Woodruff were OF
Irish, Scotch. and German nationality. Her
grandfather came from Ireland in very
early days, and was married by Catholic
priest in New York to a Miss McVey, a
Scotch lady. The father OF Mrs. Woodruff.
who died when she was quite young, was
born In Philadelphia, and her mother, who
survives, ard who has long made her home
with her now deceased daughter, in Ian
caster county. the latter's parents being
German. Mr.. Lynch was distantIy related
to the Lyuches OF South Carolinis, one of
whom, Thomas. was a singer of the DecIar-
of Independence
MIS- Woodruff wac born in Bloomfield,

the Bloomfield Acadeuy. Upon the COM

genuine sorrow to all who knew her. She
was a lady of much refinement and intellI-
gence. Her education embraced very
thorough knowledge of music, both vocal
and Instrumental. and this, as we'll as her
many other accomplishments, entered into
her daily life. and made her a most charming
center of household affection and an Orna-
ment IN every circle in which she moved.

Poison Of Expired Air.

Recently two distinguished French
physicians, Brown-sequard and D'Arson-
val, have been experimenting, and have
obtained results which are thought to
prove that expired air contains another
poison, additional to those Of carbonic acid
and ammonia, to which mainly tho danger
Gus nature of expired air must be re-
ferred. Tho exact nature of this poison
has not yet been ascertained, but the ex.
periments cannot be due either to carbonic
acid OF to ammonia.
By passing expired air, whether of
human beings or of animals, through
water, q solution was obtained which, in-
jected into the veins of animals, invari-
ably gave rise to the same symptoms-a
slower breath, rapid lowering of the
temperature, considerable paralytic
weakness, especially of the hinder limbs,
and, after three or four days, morbid
activity of tho heart.
Larger injections induced excessive con-
traction Of the pupils, increased paralysis,
and diarrhea, something like that of
cholera. The eminent surgeons who con-
Quoted these experiments are disposed to
regard pulmonary consumption as largely
duo to this poison. If future experiments
should establish this view, it must greatly
emphasize the supre,so Importance Of
thorough ventilation in our homes and
churches and all places for public gather
ings.-Youth's Companion.

Struck the Key Note.

Brookings Press: The Sioux Falls
Argus-Leader strikes the key note
when it asks if Mr.. Mathews got his
possessions by taking homestead or
a tree claim. Mr.. Mathews took both
homestead and tree claim when he
came to Brookings county. He built a
real Dakota residence" on his home
stead. and, with those Immortal
mules" before the plow and his
own haud at the plow handle he
broke up ten acres OF the homestead,
which was his actual and bona fide
residence. He proved up on that land
and in due time the patent was issued
to G. A. Mathews. Yes, sir, you need
not guess again, for you struck it the
first time. MIR. Mathews did get his
start by "grubbing it out of the SOIL"
He was born on a farm. reared on a
farm, is today running farm, which,
by the way, is developing into quite q
stock farm; but, let it be understood,
he is not urging this as special reas-
on why he should receive the farm vote.

Tho Cat and tho Dog,

The mastery of herself which o cat
shows when, having been caught in po-
sition from which there is no escape, She
calmly sits down to face out the threats
of dog, is q marvellous thing. Every
body has seen kitten on street door
step attacked by dog ten times her size,
as apparently self possessed as if shewere
in her mistress lap. If she turns tail and
runs down the street she is lost; the dog
will have q sure advantage of her. Even
as lit is, if he could get up courage enough
to seize her on the spot he would be able
to make short work of her. It is O case
of life and death; but the whole air and
attitude of The cat is one of pure and con-
fident bravado. '.You dare not touch me,
and you know it" is what her position
tells the dog.
But she is intensely on her guard, in
spite of her air of perfect content. Her
legs, concealed undertne fur, are ready
for spring; her claws are unsheathed;
her eyes never move for an instant from
the dog; as he bounds wildly from side to
side, barking with comical fury. those
glittering eyes Of hers follow him with
the keenest scrutiny. If he plucks up his
courage to grab her, she is ready; she will
sell her life dearly. She is watching her

tries Fabian tactics, and withdraws few
feet, settling down upon his forepaws,
growing ferociously as he does So Just
then the sound of dogs bark in the next
street attracts his eyes and ears for a
moment: and when he looks back the kit
ten is gone He looks down the street
and starts wildly in that direction, and
reaches high board fence just as cats
tail-a monstrous tail for, such a little

is beaten; the cat showed not only more

more generalship. - Boston Transcript

How Chinese History Is written.

Chinese history is compiled by per.
manent commission of accomplished
literary men, who are always at work
upon it. In 1887 an imperial edict stated
that history ought not to be written for
the emperor's use only, and remain shut
up in golden caskets and marble cham
bers; it ought to be made accessible to all
officials, that they may know the mind of
the emperors and the laws of the land.
From the Chinese standpoint, history is
divided into two parts-one an exact mar
rative of events, the other record of
what the emperor has said and done.
This division originates two sets Of pub
Gcations; one in which the officers speak,
the other in which the emperor is the
spokesman. In the first, the industry Of
the bureau of history is run in the collec-
tion of facts, but there is always dan
ger that the recorder may be under
strong court influence. Historical can
dor can scarcely find place In reference
to nations or persons who have been in
conflict with tho court. With this ex-
ception, the array of facts thus recorded
is most valuable.
The edicts published in the second series
express the mind of the emperor. He
Is always a man who has the advantage
bf good training, and if his style is toler-
ALE and he happens to be fond of writing
his edicts himself, they will all be trans
mitted to future times in full. The
scribes, who stand writing when he
speaks, translate his spoken words into
official phrases, and his opinions and de-
cisions will then pass into official history,
written partly by himself and partly by
the scribes of the cabinet. Besides these
there arc various series of historical
works-the first having been prepared in
the Eleventh century-to popularize the
subject and place the chief facts of the
Chinese annals within the reach of com
mon readers, who have not the oppor-
tunity to study them in full. The last of
these has just been published. It deals
with the reign of Kienlung, from 1876 to
to 1905, and is in sixty volumes. Every
important public matter is recorded under
the day on which it occurred. The en-
peror has, as usual, the lions share of the
talking, and there is room for him to say
q good deal in 120 chapters. - North
