A Death Test.

If most people are afraid ofanything
it is of being buried alive. That cases
do happen where it is very difficult
even for the most experienced physi-
clan to determine whether person is
really or only apparently dead without
having recourse to means which, while
they would at once settle dispute,
would place life, if it really still exist
ed, in jeopardy, may be judged from
the fact that the French academy of
science ten or fifteen years ago offered
a prize of 40, 600 francs for the discov-
cry of some means by which even the
inexperienced might at once determine
whether in a given case death had en-
sued or not. A physician obtained the
prize. He had discovered the follow
ing well-known phenomenon: If the
hand of the suspected dead person is
held toward candle or other artificial
light. with the fingers extended and
one touching the other, and one looks
through the spaces between the fingers
toward the light, there appears a scar
let red color where the fingers touch
each other, due to the blood still cir
culating, it showing itself through the
tissues which have not yet congested.
When life is entirely extinct the phe-
nomenon of scarlet space between the
fingers at once ceases. The most ex-
tensive and thorough trial established
the truth of this observation.

The Masher Check-Mated.

He was dude and lady-killer of
the most pronounced type. His record
of ''mashes" and broken hearts was
one that swelled his sixteen-inch chest
with himself off to advantage, and
green bingham dress and pink sun
bonnet, vainly trying to manipulate
the faucet at a reservoir of drinking
water in the park, he gracefully ex-
cused himself to the six young ladies
following in his train, sprang forward,
filled the cup, and. with the prettiest
of bows and the most graceful tip of
his hat, offered the cup to the old lady.
His blood ran cold and he stood rooted
to the spot when she, with wave of
her hand declined the cup, and said in
the presence of the giggling young
ladies':
mo, young man; you've got holt of
the wrong woman this time; they amt
the least bit of flirt bout me; I'm
stiddy, respectable married woman;
an my old mans watchin' us from be-
hind yam tree. He's the jealousest man
on earth; you'd better take to your
heels, or. if he sees you bowin' an
smirkin an maxim signs to me, he'd
fairly bile over with jealousy, even
though he'd no call to do so. | have
to be mighty keerful ev'ry move
make. If you git sight of a spry old
man bout GA old with drab stove
pipe hat an a linen buster you'd better
lay mighty low, 'speshly if he seen you
tryin' to fiirt with me, an'-you'd bet
ter git now for he's cummin' this way!"

A Horse That Plays Ball.

One of the handsomest of the horses
which drags Uncle Sans mail wagons
about is big fellow named, Tom says
the n. 7. Times. Tom would be an
ornament in any walk, or trot, of horse
life. Tom is happiest when waiting at
the postoffice for the load to be put
into his wagon. His great superiority
over his fellows is then more noticeable
has finished his lunch of oats he begins
to ask, in a way not easily to be mis-
taken, for some one to come and play
with him. If no one responds he taps
the tires of the front wheels with ner-
vous raps of his hind feet. This usu-
ally brings some of the drivers to the
front. They all know that Tom wants
to play ball. Catching is his favorite
pastime when off duty. There is not a
base ball crank in the country who
likes to watch game more than Tom
likes to play as catcher.
A horse catching ball plays at dis
advantage. A dogs mouth was evil
IDENTIFY made to enable him to catch
anything thrown to him. A horses
wasn't. 1t is apparently a painful
ouOIG 1ol ii uOISe W OpGn LIS mouOn
more than two or three inches. Tom
has practiced until he can get his jaws
twice as far apart as an ordinary horse
does. The pitcher stands ten or twelve
feet away, not in front, but on one side
of Catcher Tom. Tom lays his head
over sideways, opens his mouth to its
widest extent, and when ready-so
some of the drivers say-winks one
eye for the pitcher to proceed. If the
ball is thrown with any degree of ac-
curacy he will get it every time. When
he ''muffs'' it he is very angry with the
pitcher.
II took Tom some months to acquire
this trick. He is not particular what
he catches. If it is an apple, or even a
banana peel. he stops the game long
enough to eat it. If it is small ball,
a wad of paper, or an orange peel, he
holds it until the pitcher comes up,
being unable with all his genius to
gain proficiency in throwing. The
larger the audience the more Tom
seems to enjoy playing ball.

Sitting on the Feet.

An active woman will destroy more
upper leather in the house in a given
time than she will on the street; there
are many more obstacles to the square
yard to be encountered in the house
than on the street; more stair-climbing,
more rubbing of the feet on the chair
rounds, and last, but not least, more
feet sat upon in that luxurious feminine
pose.
The wear of uppers of women's
shoes by the friction of the skirts is
greater than many people suppose.
Mems trousers do very little damage
compared to the heavy and constant
rubbing of the skirts against the back
of the shoes.
There are no shoes made for women
that will compete with mems calf shoes
in durability under hard knocks. IN
fortunately women do not and will not
wear calfskin shoes; they are at dis
advantage in this respect.

Waiting to Hear the Gong.

So much has been written about the
country guests at big hotel that their
akwardly original breaks are general
ly rated as naught but the dreams of
reporters. Yet every day some Joshua
Whitcomb" will do some outlandish
thing at the large hostelry where he is
stopping. Recently young man
evidently a farmer-walked into the
Palmer house with a young bride upon
his arm. He registered self and wife
from Shelbyville, Ind. As they both
stood at the crowded counter they
looked as though they had been mar
ried at least fifteen minutes.
Are you the clerk, y he asked OF Mr..
Brobst.
Yes, sir"
Il want to whisper privately to

''Well, cut the cards"
The secret is that I've just got mar

me out. Give me good, cheap room,

One Touch of Human Nature.

There were dozen passengers on
Broadway car the other rainy day who
noticed large showily dressed man
get aboard at the corner of Seventeenth.
He had a gold-headed silk umbrella,
and he leaned it against the front door
and sat down. When the car got down
to Wall rtreet the large man suddenly
rose up and hurried out of the car,
never thinking of his umbrella. Then
human nature began to show itself. A
young man with loud suit of clothes
changed his seat from rear to front to
get nearer the prize. A solid woman
with bandbox pushed boy along to
bring herself nearer. A man on the
other side, who had been busy with his
paper now folded it up and fixed his
eye on the umbrella. A shop girl,
who seemed to be out on an errand,
cast covetous eyes, and thought of the
swell she would cut over the other
girls, if she had that particular piece of
personal property. An old man with
a prominent nose finally observed in
subdued tones.
Il live next door to johnson, and I'll
return him his umbrella"
'Johnson.' exclaimed the young
man in the loud suit. why, that's our
uperintendent, and as 1 am going
right to the Office, I'll carry it to him. u
''Seems to me he's my grocer, but [
won't be sure of it." remarked the
solid woman. However, I'm an
honest woman, and it will be safe with
me-"
Look herer' exclaimed the man
with the paper. You're nice crowd,
must remark. I was just laying low
for you. The gent is my brother, and
I'd like to see some of you try to walk
off with his umbrella!n
This settled all but the shop girl.
She turned white and red and moved
about uneasily, and finally decided it
was now or never. She suddenly rose
up, walked to the end ofthe car, picked
up the umbrella, and tiptoed her way
to the rear door and passed out.
Thank you, miss!"
1t was thelarge. showily dressed man.
who was standing on the platform with
his hand extended.
Don't mention itr' snapped the girl
in reply, as she turned over the
property and dropped off.
And then everybody chuckled and
slapped himself on the back to think
that he had been wise enough to let the
umbrella alone.-N. 7. San.

ssLove Only Cannot Die"

Attwilight, once, entered in a room
Where Death had come before me, and /
knelt
Beside a coffin in the dusk. and felt
The all-ingulfing silence of the gloom.
And he, who loved me but few days ago,
Had grown a stranger with unseeing eyes,
At whom / gazed, and said in dull surprise,
"'Tis almost like some face used to know.
30, for the sake of him once had known,
Upon dead lips pressed a living kiss,
And shuddered, fearless still to know that
this
Was he, my friend, whose soul was as my own.
Then went away, nor turned again to see
The face whose pallid calm, and icy touch
Had nothing of that face / loved so much;
Almost with smiles said 1T is not he"
Years after, when his ever-vacant place
Was yet untitled for me, and more and more
loved him as had not loved before.
And longed more deeply just to see his face.
I journey far and went weary way
To lay my cheek on his forgotten grave,
To tell him / was neither strong nor brave,
To weep sad tears above him where he lay;
And there found, deep-hid where none could
see,
A little heart s-ease blossom. Then said,
s"This is the kiss I gave when you lay dead,
Which you, remember still, give back to me-"

The Painters Idiosyncrasies.

Ny father, being a scenic artist him.
self, was naturally disposed to be criti-
cal, and when the painter asked his
opinion of the dome he replied:
We'll, since you ask me, don't you
think that your angels are little stiff
in their attitudes?"
mo. sir; not for angels. When I
deal with NEUROLOGICAL subjects | never
put my figures in natural attitudes; it
would be inharmonious. Il natural
angel would be out of keeping with the
rest of the work.
To which my father replied that it
was quite likely that such would be
the case. But why have you made
Handel and Beethoven frown at each
otherp They are not NEUROLOGICAL SUBJ
jects."
No, no." said the painter. But
they are musicians, you know; and
great musicians always quarrel; eh?
Ha, ha!'
Yes said my father, '.but as Han
del died before Beethoven was born, I
