These dark discolorations are often
seen after death. and are known in
medical parlance as Cadaveric Ecchy-

ately after death. but are more fully
developed after the body has cooled.
They are caused By the stagnation and
infiltration of blood into the cellular
tissue. Upon table in the dining
room lamp was brightly burning, a
book was open, which the deceased had
been reading, anu her spectacles were
carefully laid across it. This was a
deliberate act.

A PHYSICIANS VIEWS.

Editor FISHERMAN AND FARMER:
The appearance of an editorial in your
paper last week, in regard to the sud-
den death of an estimable lady here,
has caused great alarm and disquietude
among our citizens, and especially among
the ladies. Knowing only from hear
say regarding the circumstances, |
can hardly think you intended it as a
reflection upon myself, and others who
assisted at the examination, however
having been called so soon after the
body was found, [ will give the rational
and scientific version of the cause OF
death, as it appeared to me. Upon
entering the room, found the deceased
lying upon her back, with the arms
fixed upon the chest; the hands were
NOT cLINcHED, the eyes were closed,
the mouth half open, the tongue not
protruded, but much chewed, and a
considerable amount of bloody froth
had exuded from her mouth, and dried
upon the right cheek. The face was
somewhat swollen, and of dusky blush
red color, showing all the signs of
intense congestion.
The body was perfectly cold, and
must have been dead at least two hours.
There were NO marks of violence upon
the person, and no sign either in the
disarrangement of the dress, or of the
furniture about the room, Or house to
indicate struggle. Mr.. Hathaway was
present at the examination, and will
bear witness to the above facts. DIR.
Taylor, in his learned work upon Medi-
cal Jurisprudence, says that hanging
and strangulation are essentially the
same in their effects upon the body after
death, and some eminent medical jurists
have admitted no distinction in these
terms. Taylor gives the external
signs of death from strangling or hang
ing as follows, death being caused in
these cases from Asphyxia, or better
term Apnoea, a want of breath, The
face is commonly livid and swollen, the
eyes WIDE OPEN. prominent, congested,
the pupils dilated. The tongue is
swollen, dark colored. and PRoTRUDED.
There is a good deal of ividi'y about
the body, with contraction of the
fingers, and clinching of the hands,
and then the marks of violence about
the neck, caused by manual pressure"
In strangulation there is usually more
forced used than is necessary to- cause
death, and the finger prints are well
defined.
Not single one of the above signs
were present about the person Of the

A LUMBER COMBINE IN THREE
STATES

The leading lumber firms and COM
panies of Maryland, Virginia and North
Carolina have obtained a charter in
Virginia for corporation under the
name of the North Carolina Pine Lum-
Der Company" It is organized for the
purchase and sale Of North Carolina
pine lumber, and VIII represent IS per
cent. of all the Virginia and North
Carolina kiln dried lumber interests.
The new company will not set aside
the old firms or corporations, which
will continue in business IS usual, but
will establish grades, and their decls-
sions will be potent in the trade. 1t

THE SALE OF THE OLD COW.

The following piece of poetry is con-
tributed as suggestive to our farmers:
Good by, old COW, you've got to 60,
Of course 'tis hard to tell you SO,
For your forefathers and my own
For ages this old farm have known.
You re lank and flabby-to be brief
You're fit for neither milk nor beef;
You yield but little at your best
And then go dry six months to rest.
7 look at you with sad regret.
And mourn to think we ever met;
For every wrinkle in your horn
Proclaims of wasted hay and corn.
Ny neighbor farmers live with ease
While wear patches on my knees.
The reason simple, plain and true,
They We kept good stock, while | kept
you.
Such common scrubs no more I'll feed
Henceforth I'll try better breed.
plainly see my error now
You've got to go-good by, old COW.

There is nothing we would undo.

THE ARCTIC CURRENT.
Damming 1t SO as to Temper the Climate
of Labrador and Newfoundland.

of Labrador and Newfoundland.
The announcement that E. J. Bender
has succeeded in making arrangements
in London for the purchase of the Que
bee & Montreal railway and its extern
sion to the Straits of Belle Isle revives
the proposal of General Sir Selby Smyth,
laid before the Dominion Government in
1879, for diverting the Arctic current
from the Gulf of st. Lawrence by fill
ing in the Straits of Belle Isle. which
would serve as a bridge connecting New.
foundland with the mainland for rail-
way purposes. General Smyth's idea of
constructing dam across the straits
does not appear to have been original
with that gentleman, as Lieutenant
Maury, it is understood, laid similar
proposal before the British Government
over thirty years ago. In his report
to the Dominion Government Cen
eral Smyth draws attention to the
fact that the Straits Of Belle
Isle are open to the northeast, thus re-
ceiving the direct flow of the polar cur
rent down Baffin's bay. This icy stream,
at from two to four miles an hour, pours
its way into the Gulf of St. Lawrence,
overcoming by its greater density the
warm gulf stream from the southern
latitudes. The cold stream, he says
divides into two branches near Cape
'Amour--one running westward up the
gulf and the other southeastward, dis.
charging into the ocean again between
Newfoundland and Cape Breton. The
General explains that this branch then
sweeps along the eastern coast Of Nova
Scotia and shoulders of the warm water
further out to sea, which would other
wise find its way along the shores OF the
continent and into the gulf. II, there
fore, the polar current could be excluded
and detected eastward of Newfound-
land into the open ocean the climatic
effect, by the exchange of cold and
warm, would be very marked in the
gulf and adjacent shores. Ottawa (Ont.)

Look Out for the Prints.

Young people, when they write, no
matter to whom, or for what purpose,
ought to get into the habit OF putting in
the stops where they belong. Il they
are slovenly and careless in this par.
ticular, those they write to will oftcp
make mistakes in understanding THEN
letters. Printers commit great hlUndcrs
sometimes, just because the authors
they have to deal with either do not
point their manuscripts at all or point
them wrong. The worst mistake result
ing from bad pointing that | ever heard
of was something like this; "A lady in
Massachusetts had a husband who was
about making sea voyage. and she
wrote q note and gave it to her minister
to read on the sabbath, in which she
meant TO say: "a member of this con
gregaton, going to sea, his wife desires
prayers for his safety. Bnt instead Of
reading it thus, on account of the points
being used wrong, it was read in this
manner: "A member of this c0ngrcga.
