Such occurrences as those narrated above
naturally bring up the question as TO in
faIlible tests of death. One physician of
prominence has declared that decay is the
only sure sign, and here is the warning
which he recently gave TO the public above
his own signature:
"If any member of your household IS
pronounced dead, and no signs of decompo-
sition are visible, cover the body with a
sufficient amount of clothing to favor
warmth, and then patiently watch and
wait, even if it be for six months or year.
Perchance life yet hangs by feeble thread,
and resuscitatiop may be spontaneous"
Catalepsy, trance, suspended animation
any of these may simulate the last dread
change which marks the close of life, and
if error is to be made it is well that it
should be made on the side of delay, for
there is always the possibility that post
poned funeral may result in the restora-
ton to friends and family of some one
mourned as dead. GEORGE BAvARD.

EIcRY lIOnCers.

One of the items of expenditure which
became fashionable after the Restoration
was the payment of rh.msters to write
funeral elegies. Quite host of poetasters
traded on this fashion, and the specimens
which Mr. Maidment collected of their
illusions show that the majority would
have been dear at any price. Neither in
veracity nor in literary quality do these
Scottish elegaic writers seem to have been
better than he who wrote tt famous cpl
taph of the lady who was "bland, passion
ate and deeply religious; she painted in
water colors, and sent several pictures TO
the Dublin exhibition; she was first cousin
to Lady Jones, and of such is the kingdom
of heaven"-an epitaph which is even ex-
ceeded by an obituary notice Of Miss Wal
lace OF this lady it was recorded that Her
conduct was beyond all praise. She engaged
in ornamental working on glass, confded
greatly in others, and died in soualid pen
ury." AS for the funeral poets, casual
perusal of Mr.. Maidment's collection leaves
the impression that if, as he says, the
pOetaster was person as necessary as the
undertaken, one would rather remain IN
buried than be so atrociously sung.-Scot-

Good and Bad Eject. Of Sea Air

The conversation in little gathering
up town on a recent evening passed TO the
effect Of sea air on various things, includ-
ing, of course, tobacco. One man told the
rather curious fact that ale is often sent
from England on a sea voyage 10 India and
back, and its favor much improved there
by. Another man remarked:
"a person who has always lived in this
country doesn't know what good tea really

ness he often dreamed of having fallen into
a trance and of being buried alive. These
dreams formed the motive for his dying
injunction.
He stipulated that his body should be
kept above ground Until there were dis
tinct signs of decay, and then, in order to
make assurance doubly sure, that dagger
provided for the occasion should be plunged
into his heart in the presence of witnesses,
and there left. This request was carried
out alter the body had rested in its coffin
for two weeks above ground, and when
Mr. Fay's remains were consigned TO the
cemetery the fact of his death had been
proven beyond any possibility of doubt.
Actuated by a similar fear of premature
interment this same practice was observed
by the members of Virginia family noted
in the states political and social history
for more than acentury. While the com
monwealth was still a colony, occasion
arose for exhuming the body of a member
of the family. The indications were to the
effect that the unhappy person had been
buried alive, and to prevent a recurrence
of the catastrophe that and the succeed
ing generations adopted the plan of stab
bling to the heart each deceased relative,
whether man, woman or child, the knife

Forty years ago the custom was aban-
doned under circumstances of peculiar
horror. A beautiful young girl had been
pronounced dead by the attending physi-
clans, and after the preparation of her
body for burial her father plunged knife
into her bosom. the touch of the steel
she sprang up, uttered scream and fell
back in reality a corpse. The father COM
mitted suicide with the same blade that
had caused his daughters death, and the
family thereafter relinquished the time
honored practice.
1t has often been asserted by medical
men of prominence and repute that pre-
mature burial is extremely infrequent, if
not altogether mythical Yet there are
many authentic instances of cases where
people have escaped interment alive only
by the merest accident. Not much over a
twelvemonth ago the young daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. +. NJ. Bashelier of Elkhart,
Ind, was pronounced dead and arrayed for
the grave.
While her father was absent arranging
the details of the funeral some sympathiz-
ing neighbors called at the house and
viewed the supposed corpse as it lay in the
open coffin. As they gazed upon the feat

were astounded TO see Miss Bashelier raise
