Doctors Who Believe That the. APP

parent1y Dead May BE Restored.
From the Boston Herald
The unfortunate case of the mind read
er, Bishop, upon whom too previous au-
topsy was performed, is likely to effect
lasting good to humanity Before it oc-
CURED cases of apparent yet not real
death were held to be so extremely rare
that not one in thousand of the sensa-
tional reports of such were believed by
physicians to have any foundation what
ever; but they have been carefully study
ing the subject and making thorough in
vestigations, and the most of them are
now ready to accept that persons are too
often considered as being dead when they
are not SO in reality. Many such cases,
absolutely authentic, have been reported.
|. DR.. Clark, Of Indianapolis, tells of seve-
raj recent cases in his section. One was
that Of a woman in Steubenville, O., who
was pronounced dead by six physicians,
and yet life returned after fourteen DAYS.
Another, or woman in st. Louis, in
whom only a slight sign Of life was acci-
dentally discovered just before the coffin
was to be closed. M. Brouardel, French
physician, has written upon this subject
and brought out much of interest. He
considers that the newly born, also young
children and aged and enfeebied persons,
are especially predisposed to apparent
death. He believes that in infectious dis
eases and algid fevers there are good
many examples of resurrection; the pto-
maines he considers to have characteristic
an@sthetic properties; injected into a frog,
the latter assumes any given cataleptic
properties thot may be desired.
The physician is most apt to be deceived
by hysteriaal persons, who are capable Of

YOUNG WHEELWOMAN.

A Little Miss of Ten Years Does Some
Hump She Said.
Among the arrivals at Merwin's Point
Saturday night were Mr.. T. T. Birdseye,
cashier of the Birmingham Savings bank,
and little Miss Catherine Nettleton, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs Charles T. Nettleton of
the same place. They came down to the
Point from Birmingham on wheels, Mr..
Birdseye on Star machine and the young
lady on her recently acquired Columbia
Safety The interesting part of the story
is that she is but ten years old, and is
probably the youngest lady road rider in
the country Her riding has all been done
since June, and the ride Saturday
is the first long one taken by
her. The distance, twelve miles,
over some of the hilliest and meanest
road for wheelmen in this part of the
country, was made little quicker than
two hours The only uncomfortable effects
that the little lady felt when safely arrived
at the Birdseye cottage was that peculiar
sensation which hearty supper relieved.
Her GOODNESS and pluck is something mar
vellous She coasted down Grassy Hill,
one which mony older riders are timid of
'venturing, with no brake on, and when
asked about it gleefully exclaimed: 81
let her hum" She will ride home again
after few days stay at the shore, and is
very enthusiastic over the anticipation.

Give Credit Where Credit is Due.
To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
The Register of July 30 had piece head
ed ''Excursionists Complain" and went on
to tell how money was extorted from visi-
tors to Parlor Rock which, of course, many
were ready to believe. AS our church, the
East Pearl street NJ. E. church, were to go
there on the 31st of July we felt I'M
easy, but our arrangements being made, go
we must. Our train of five nicely filled
coaches, with Mr. Frank Smith for conduc-
tor, who is a jovia1 fellow and makes
things pleasant for his friends, left the
Derby depot about $50 a. M, and took us
through to the grove in good time.
Expecting when we arrived we would be
robbed or imposed upon, we veutured to
ask Conductor Smith about it, He re-
piled: Mr.. Harris, who conducted the
grove, is nice fellow, and his charges are
only right and reasonable. Soon after ar
irving at the grove we met Mr..
Harris, the proprietor, and found
him to be a very nice and gentle
manly man, who tried to make things
pleasant and agreeable to us, and most GER
tainly succeeded in doing SO. We found on
patronizing his restaurant that his prices
were only ten cents for ice cream and five
cents for soda, sarsaparilla, ETC., and a
glass furnished with each bottle to drink
it from, and anyone wanting more than
that, as the boys say, Unjust want the
EARTH
Probably had we gone into the skating
rink during the skating session and tried
to dance and interfere with the skaters we
would have found that Mr.. Harris was
proprietor and would protect his patrons
who were there to skate and not dance, by
putting us out of the rink if necessary, and
possibly we might get even by getting the
Register to put in can Excursionist's

WHERE WIVES COME HIGH.
Why Quebec SWANS and Their Sweet
hearts Cross the Border.


hearts Cross the Border.
A special from Quebec says: "The
Mckinley hill is not now Canada's latest
grievance against the United States. II
has been discovered that the New Eng
land States are successfully competing
with tho Province OF Quebec in the con-
duct OF the Canadian matrimonial bust
ness. In the counties bordering upon
the American frontier the parties TO ma
trimonial contracts cross the line in large
numbers to have the knot tied upon
American territory, because of the high
rate Of taxation upon marriage in the
province.
EVERY time q resident Of the pro-
vince is married within its jurisdiction a
tax OF IS is levied by the State for tho
marriage-license fee, whereas in Ontario
the tax is but 81. Residents of Ontario
who have come to Quebec TO meet their
prospective brides coming out to Canada
by steamship have frequently taken
their future wives back with them to
the sister province to be married, in
stead of having the ceremony performed
here, IN consequence OF the eAoroltaht
price asked them here for marriage
license.
1.-The Protestant Ministerial Associa-
ton OF Montreal has taken alarm at the
growing habit of their people in the
border counties crossing the line to be
married, and has petitioned the Govern
ment to reduce the tax. The latter has
thus far, however, remained obdurate.
The Protestant Committee of the Council
OF Public instruction Of the Pro-
vince OF Quebec has also been
asked to urge upon the Govern
ment the reduction of the tax, but
has declined to interfere. This com
mittee receives, for purposes Of superior
education, the revenue derived from the
sale OF Protestant marriage-licenses, and
evidently fears that the loss resulting
from large reduction in the price OF
licenses might not be compensated for
by the additional number that might be
disposed of. The grievance, therefore,
bids fair to continue"
