Many Persons Buried Alive.

"There are plenty of people mol
dering under the sod," says ply
sician, "who were buried before life
became extinct, but they were never
made aware of the fact. Collins
nowadays are Theoretically sealed.
and there is not enough air in one of
them to bring person to life out of
a trance. The lungs must have a
certain amount of oxygen before the
heart will begin to act, and one full
inhalation would exhaust all of the
oxygen in modern casket, and the
lungs would, Of course, be unable to
take another. All these stories of
fearful sufferings endured by persons
buried alive are false; there's moth
ing to them.
"No doubt bodies are frequently
inferred while life is yet existent,
but this would not be the case if
everybody knew of a certain infalli-
Bile and absolutely certain test of
death.

The Worlds Richest Nation.

Great Britain's claim to be the
richest nation in the world, relative
ly speaking, must go undisputed.
According to the figures of Robert
Gifin. the English statesman, in
1885 the accumulated wealth Of
Great Britain amounted to AIo,-
900, 900, 900, or EGO for each per
son in the kingdom. Dividing the
total amount according to the
wealth of the three divisions of the
kingdom the residents Of England
would receive 22o8 each, those in
Scotland 4242 and Ireland A93.
Gifin's figures make Great Britain
the richest per capita of any nation
in the world, France comes second
with Ergo for each person, and the
United States third with l,16o for
each inhabitant. The boast of the
English lingo that his country has
the ships and the money is well sub
Stimulated, but when it comes to a
question of men she must fall back

Stage Laughter.

The average actor, who can portray
pretty much all phases of sentiment, is
bad failure when his part calls for
audible laughter. From this condi-
ton it seems to be a fair conclusion
that iollity is more difficult to simulate
than sorrow. How many Well-knOwn
actors are there who laugh naturally
on the stage. Mckee Rankin, who has
certainly mastered the technicalities of
his profession, has a stage laugh that
sounds like a distressed cackle, ac-
cording to the Dramatic Times. When
Lawrence Barrett laughs the cords of
his neck swell with the effort, very
much as they do when he is spouting
heroic speeches at the top of his voice.
Mr.. Barrymore has a laugh that re-
veals his teeth, but reveals not the
slightest spark of geniality. Mr.. Kel-
cey laughs totally without expression.
Mr.. Drew smiles and smiles and utters
no sound.
Aside from the various uncanny
noises produced by laughing actors,
their facial expressions while undergo
ing the process of exclamation are
painful to witness. They look uneasy,
Solf-cOnSClOuS ana SGFaln0U, DIS CHouSH
the effort hurt them. To be obliged to
laugh on the stage is to every leading
actor an ordeal of startling proper
tons. Comedians may find the path
of laughter less thorny, because they
are allowed to embellish it with eccen-
tricity beyond the borders of burlesque.
But sentimental actors seem so fearful
of losing their dignity that they dare
not laugh with the ring of true enjoy
ment.
A player may, with the slightest ex-
ercise of his gifts, reduce an audience
to tears, and yet be the most hopeless
ly absurd and unreal Laughter alive.
Clara Morris can bring tears from the
stoutest auditor without particle of
feeling on her own part But
when she tries to laugh her watchers
grow alarmed. We have not heard a
hearty or gentlemanly laugh upon the
stage for many years, and we do not un-
derstand why it is that actors who can
perfect the smallest details of other
simulatis totally fail to conquer the
spirit of laughter.

A Favored Child of Fortune.

A one-armed printer is as much of a
curiosity as the armless man who dex-
terously handles knife and fork with
his toes.
There came to Cincinnati two days
ago such wonder, and he is now
working as a Sub" in the Enquirer
Office. His name is Harry Renrod, he
is 81 years old, and halls from Wash
ington, where he learned the trade on
the Republican. Penrod six years ago
went on trip out West, and while
gone lost his left arm in railroad ac-
cident. Only short stump, extending
but few inches from the shoulder. re-
mains. Nothing disheartened by a
misfortune that would have rendered
most men helpless, Penrod set to work
to manage the intricacies of his craft
with one hand, and he succeeded
so well that he now sets as big a
string" as the best printer, and he
iustities his own matter and does it
well. In setting type, Penrod places
the stick on the case in front of him
and then nimbly shoots the type into
place. working very rapidly and with
rs apparent ease as a man with two
hands. Penrod has worked as Sub"
on all the great newspapers of the
country and makes a competent liveli-
hood. He is the only one-armed prin-
ter capable of earning a full days
wages at the case.

The Secret Of a Long Life.

You sometimes see a woman
whose old age is as exquisite as was
the perfect bloom of her youth. She
seems condensed sweetness and
grace. You wonder how this has
come about; you wonder how it is
her life has been long and happy
one. Here are some of the reasons:
She knew how to forget disagree
able things.
She understood the art of enjoy
ment
She kept her nerves we'll in hand,
and inflicted them on no one.
She believed in the goodness Of
her own daughters and in that of her
neighbors.
She cultivated a good digestion.
She mastered the art of saying
pleasant words.
She did not expect too much from
her friends.
She made whatever work come to
her congenial.
She retained her illusions, and did
not believe that all the world was
wicked and unkind.
She relieved the miserable, and
sympathized with the sorrowful.
She retained an even disposition,
and made the best of everything
She did whatever came to her
cheerful and we'll.
She never forgot that kind words
and a smile cost nothing, but are
priceless treasures to the discour-
aged.
She did unto others as she would
be done by, and now that old age
has come to her and there is halo
of white hair about her head, she is
loved and considered.
This is the secret of a long life
and a happy one.-March LadIes'

The Great Napoleon as Seen by
an American Traveller.

On the 18th there was grand re-
view of the imperial guard and sew
eral regiments of the line in the
courtyard of the Tuileries, amount
ing to eight or ten thousand men,
composed of infantry, cavalry, and
artillery; and here we had the salts
faction of seeing for the first time
the celebrated conqueror of Italy.
His appearance was far from digni-
fed or inspiring beholders with that
awe which one would expect in such
a character. However he might be
in action, he makes but poor figure
on parade. From our situation we
had an excellent opportunity of OBJ
serving him. We were within eight
or ten yards of the spot on which he
took his station while reviewing the
troops His stature is something be-
low the middle size, his complexion
of yellow, sickly hue, a prominent
chin, and his eyes little sunk. His
countenance has a melancholy, seri-
Gus cast. Yet, Notwithstanding
these disadvantages, his face is by
no means homely. He was sur
rounded by group of generals
whose brilliant uniforms rendered his
plain dress the more conspicuous.
Except his epaulets, his whole dress
was perfectly plain, without either
lace or embroidery. He wore his
hair cut short, without powder, and a
plain cooked hat with national
cockade. AS soon as he descended
into the courtyard he mounted a
handsome white steed, and immedi-
ately set off full gallop, inspecting
every corps, passing through the
lines, and receiving petitions, num-
Der of which were presented by the
soldiers. He is very bold rider,
but not very good, and certainly
an ungraceful one. From his bad
craftsmanship (by improperly check
ing) he brought himself and horse
to the ground. He then dismounted
while the mud was washed off the
poor animal, but he disdained chang
ing his own dress, and appeared at
the levee after the parade in his
muddy uniform, where the diplomat
ic corps and a number of sprucely
attired strangers had the honor of
being thus received by him.-From

liberty of the masses; it prefers OPP
preston and repression to crude and
laundering attempts in the acquisition
of freedom: it believes that immedi

"Put that you would have the
State into the schools" is motto
which a monarchy uses for It's own
perpetuity. Put that into the
schools which will make the child all
he can be" or in other words, "give
the child every means to become the
highest type of true citizen of a re-
public" is the genius of the new plan.
The choice is plainly between the
directness and finish under the mon
archical plan, and the crude imper-
fections of the democratic plan. A
growing product is always far better
than a finished one; an army may
crush out a rebellion, but democratic
organic growth alone can make re-
bellions impossible. The standard
by which any human institution
should be judged is not what the in
stitution is in itself, but whittier it is
tending. Under this standard, it is
safe to say that the present attitude
of the common school system of the
United States is far more favorable
to general progress than all the other
systems of the world taken together.
A GLANCE AT THE HISTORY.
1t is customary to look upon the
American common school system as
an old institution, when in fact it is
very young; younger by ages than
democracy or republication, of
which it is the product. The estab-
lishment of the system in Massachu-
sets closely followed the revolution,
and New Hampshire, Vermont, and
Maine initiated the example of the
old commonwealth: but in the other
States the complete establishment OF
the common schools is little older
than one generation. The common
school system furnishes each child
with the elements of an education at
the expense of the community or
State. Rate or tuition paying in all
the other States, except those men
toned, has been established within
the last forty years. In the South
anything like common schools for all
the people have had their commence
mCnt since the civil war.

Embalning

Our present methods of embalm-
ing are so superior to those of the
ancient Egyptians that a modern
embalmer might leave human body
so perfect that after 5000 years, says
the Lancet, mot lineament need
be wanting for Identification that
would not satisfy even the contem-
porary of the dead person. The
mummies unrolled nowadays are
dried up out of recognition. But the
embalming process is liable to go
out of use before the advancing prac
tice of cremation

A Chinaman's Picture.

A Chinese journalist has been CIV
ing his impression of the western
world, and it makes very interesting
reading. Here is description of a
< o'clock tea: ''When the time comes
invitations are sent to an equal num-
Der of men and woman, and after
they are all assembled tea and sugar
milk, bread and the like are set out
as aids to conversation. More par
ticular are their invitations to skip
and posture, when the host decides
what man is to be the partner Of
what woman, and what woman of
what man. Then with both arms
grasping each other they leave the
table in pairs, and leap, skip, posture
and prance for their natural gratlfl-
cation. A man and woman previ-
ously unknown to one another may
take part in it. They call this skip
ping "tanehen" (dancing). Tea, which
is pronounced tee, is always black
tea; but it must be mixed with milk
and white sugar. They dare not
drink it neat, alleging that it would
corrode and SO injure the drinker."

vesting machinery in the world. The train
was highly decorated and brass band in

er and a mower were shown set up ready
for work. Dispatches from points passed to-
day show that enthusiastic crowds greeted

one grand triumphal procession. 1t is not
unusual for this firm TO send solid train loads
of machinery all over the country, but this
train attracts especial attention.

MONARCHIAL SCHOOLS.
The monarchical plan of immedi-
ate and strong control, the plan that
seems to reach results by the shortest
line of resistance, is very attractive
to those who do not understand the
spirit and tendency of true demo
cratic development That custom,
law, or habit, social, political, or re-
ligious, which grows into people,
which becomes a part of the people
through the exercise of individual
will and option, and to which there
is a general consent and belief, be-
comes in time such a powerful or
panic factor of communities and
states that revolution alone can rend
it from them; thus it can be safely
asserted that next to the flag, to
every Northern man at least, stands
the common school; impending dan
ger to this institution is an immedl-
ate signal for aggressive action.
"There can be no republic without
common schools" is sentiment that
has sunk into the very roots of our
