Remarkable Cases Human Information
on Record I'm England.
The case of Mrs. Elizabeth Wood
cock, who survived long burial under
snow, may be known to many readers,
says Leisure Hours. This woman,
forty-twO years of age, of Impington, q
village three miles north of Cambridge,
lost her way in returning home from
market on Saturday evening, February
2, 100, and was buried seven feet deep
in the snow. In this state she contin-
ucd eight nights and eight days, when
she was dug out alive on Sunday, Feb
ruary 10. She retained the full possess
Sion of her senses all the while she was
imnnrcd. She died July 2l, 1919.
A somewhat similar case occurred in
the snowStorm of November, 1890. A
middlc-aged we man, named Alice Jane
Lowe, belonging to Wigan, was admit
ted into Spalding workhouse in n very
weak state, having been found by the
relieving officer sleeping out in the
snow in the Lincolnshire fCns, near
Spalding. She was put to bed and then
stated that she had slept out for five
weeks continuously, including within
the last few days the severest
weather of the year, when the snow
covered the ground to the depth of near
ly foot. The poor woman's hair was
in such a ma tied state that it had to be
all cut off. She stated that she had
tramped from Lancashire, where she
had formerly been in domestic service,
and at the time she was found in the
snow she appeared to have lost her
way. The wOrkhouse officials consid-
cred it most remarkable that the
woman survived the exposure to the
cold,

there are 10000 words which have

The Next Speaker.

The composition of the next House

tiles Of the very highest order. 1t is
to the best interest of the Democratic
party that the man best equipped for
the place shall be put in the Speakers
chair, and it is the duty Of Democratic
members to do this. The next
Speaker should be a man Of ample
knowledge with ready command of
all his resources; Of high and honor
able courageousness, tempered with
wise and discreet considerateness; Of
large parliamentary knowledge and
experience and of judicial mind and
temper; OF honest purpose and of
manifest fairness; Of perfect self-com-
mand and almost illimitable patience,
yet prompt in decision and adamant
in resolution. The Democratic ma
jority in the next House contains dis
tinguished parliamentarians, among
whom are several candidates for the
Speakership that have been an
nounced. Its business is to chose
from them all a man who has the
qualities of mind and temper which
have been specified. The contest will
have this point singly in view, and
anything like faction fight will be
wholly out of place.-LVirginia Chron-

THE parent who flies to the rod to
correct every trlfling fault or mis-

Journal, will have no influence with
her children, when they are to old
to be governed by force. A child
should never be struck in anger. A
box on the ear may rupture the
membrane that forms the drum, and
cause permanent deafness. A hasty
blow may do mischief that years OF
repentance can not undo. Punish
ment is for discipline, not for re.
venge. 1t is to teach the child to
avoid evil and do right. 1t should
be vent for the passion OF the
mother. Love, patience and firm
