The people of Douds, Ia, are in
distress through the supposed dis
covery, just made, that a young
woman of that place was buried
alive twenty-three years ago. Her
grave was opened recently for the
purpose Of transferring her remains,
and the horrible discovery was made
that her body was lying face down
ward in the coffin. This was accep-
ted as proof positive that the girl
had come to life after being buried,
and had turned over in her grave.
She may have done so but the
probabilities are strongly against it.
Instances where people have been
buried alive are excessively rare. In
places where the closest watch is
kept and every precaut'on taken to
detect at once the slightest sign OF
returning consciousness, year after
year passes without a single case of
the kind. 1t is much more pro-
bable that water got into the grave,
filled the coffin and floated the body
Of the girl, in which case its natural
tendency would be to turn over and
float face downward, in which posi-
ton, of course, it would remain
when the water drained off, as it
might from any one of number of
causes. There is always, however,
terrible uncertainty about such
cases, and the relatives of the sup
posed sufferer never cease to re
proach themselves with the possibi-
ity that she might have recovered
and lived il she had not been buried
so soon. If is a safe rule. and one

FOOD BEFORE SLEEP.
Why Some People Are Benefited by a
Night Lunch,

Why Some People Are Benefited by a
Night Lunch.
Some persons, though not &C
tually sick, keep below par in
strength and general tone, and l am
OF the opinion that fasti. G during
the long interval between supper
and breakfast, and especially the
complete emptiness of the stomach
during sleep, adds greatly to the
amount of emaciatlon, sleeplessness
and gene al weakness we SO often
meet Physiology teaches that in
the body there IS perpetual dish
teeration OF tissues, sleeping or
waking; il is therefore logical to be-
lieve that the supply Of nourishment
should be somewhat continuous.
AS bodily exercise is suspended
during sleep, with wear and tear
correspondingly diminished. while
digestion, assimilation and nutritive
activity continue as usual, the food
furnished during this period adds
more than is destroyed, and increas
edoweight and improved general
vigor are the result.
All beings except man are govern
Ell by natural instinct, and every
being with a stomach, except man,
eats before sleep, and even the hu-
man infant, guided by the same in
stinct, drinks frequently day and
night, and if its stomach is empty
for any prolonged period it cries
long and loud.
Digestion requires no interval of
rest, and if the amount OF food dur
ing the twentyfour hours is, in guam
tity and quality, not beyond the
physiological limit, it makes no
hurtful difference to the stomach
how few or how short are the intar-
walls between eating, but it does
make vast difference in the weak
and emaciated ones welfare to have
a modicum of food in the stomach
during the time of sleep, that, in
stead of being consumed by bodily
action, it may during the interval
improve the lowered system.
| am fully satisfied that were the
weakly, the emaciated and the sleep
less to nightly take light lunch or
meal Of simple. nutritious food be-
fore going to bed for a prolonged
period, nine in ten of them would
be thereby lifted into a better stan
dard of health; on the contrary,
persons that are too stout or pie
thoric should follow an opposite
course.-4Nedical Journal
