A Sure Sign of Death.

From the Opinion Nacional de Caracas
 From time to time we are mortified by learning that some person has been buried alive, after assurances have been given of death. Under these circumstances the opinion of rising French physician upon the subject becomes of world wide inter est; for since the tests which have been in use for years have been found unreliable, no means should be left untried to prove beyond doubt that life is actually extinct before conveying our loved ones to the grave. Doctor Msrtinot asserts that an unfailing test may be made by producing blister on the hand or foot of the body by holding the flame of a candle to the same for a few seconds, or until the blister is formed, which will always occur. If the blister contains any fluid, it is evi- dence of life, and the blister only that produced by an ordinary burn; if, on the contrary, the blister contains only steam it may be asserted that life is extinct. The explanation is as follows: A corpse is nothing more than inert matter, under the immediate control of physical lave which cause all liquid heated to a certain temper ature to become steam; the epidermis is
 raised, the blister produced; it breaks
 with little noise and the steam escapes.
 But if, in spite of appearances, there is any remnant of life, the organic mechan- ism continues to be governed by physio- logical laws, and the blister will contain serous matter, as in the case of any ordi- nary burns. The test is as simple as the proof is conclusive. Dry blister: death. | Liquid blister: life. Any one may try it; there b no error possible.

The Care or Seal Skin.

ltrom the Ladies Home Journal
 It is said with truth that the moth which exterminates does not enter seal skin; this is qnite true, but in his place comes an in- sidious little worm which eats his way through and is hundred times more ob- jectionable. He is the result of dirt You look indignant. and yet many of you put your seal coats away while they are sbso- lutely dirty. Now the proper way to do is to get out your coat, shake it thoroughly, hang it on the clothes-line and beat it un- til not 8 particle of fluff will come from it, then let it sun for half the day; after this fold it carefully, not doubling it over, but allowing it to lay out its full length; then sew over it very closely coarse muslin; over this pin heavy sheets of newspaper; then having lined your box with newspapers lay in the queer shaped package, cover 1t with newspapers, put the lid on, and to be sure that it is air-tight, tie it with 8 good strong cord, mark what is in the box and put it in dark closet. Use newspapers in preference to any other kind. By put ting your coat away SO that it is all tight, in utter darkness and thoroughly clean, 1t will come out when you need it as good as new. For the trimmed coats somewhat more elaborate arrangement is necessary. or course, the trimming must have a spe- cial cleaning, and you must be sure to lite rally bang out all the moth eggs in 1t, if any are there. For if you put a coat away in which these tiny eggs are, you might just as we'll count it as eaten up, for they will hatch, and your fur trimming will be greedily absorbed by them.

The Ostrich and the Parrot,


 This is not fable, but the record of A lew reflections prompted by the exercises in English composition of two deserving school-children. Here is one of them:
 "The ostrich is & large and beautiful bird. People ride on them when they are going long way, and once saw a picture of boy on 6 ostriches back they have very large wings. The Prince of wales has got a ostriches feathers in his hat. The ostrich is large bird and the hum ming bird is as we'll but the ostrich is the largest of them. The ostrich is found in Manchester and they live on sand and make their nests on it and lay their eggs on it."
 It is clear that the author of this esssy IS person not only of much information, but also of philosophical mind.
 Essay on Parrot: "A parrot is a bird that reads thing through and never thinks about it, and 1t is & very nice bird. and some of us do as well as parrots. I think we all ought to learn, because that is what we are sent to school for. And when we read thing we should not half read 1t over, like parrot, when & parrot reads 1t over they don't think of what they are reading. But we should think about word before we read another, and not do like a parrot does at all. There is & great many who act like a parrot in some schools round this country"

Washington's Pavoritc Dish.


 Mrs. A. J. Dauds, of Canton, O., relates sn anecdote of General Washington, as told by her grandfather, Nicholas Fringer, of Tarrytown, Md, who was owner of the mill in question, and which illustrates the plainness of Washington's diet.
 During the administration of Washing ton he found it necessary to take a busi- ness trip of few days duration, accom- panied by his staff. It having become known to the citizens of Tarrytown tha. be would pass through there, arrangements were made to give hiEa -oyal reception, and the proprietor of the village tsveln, at which he would take supper, prepared to serve a menu fit for a king. Every thing, almost, in the line of edibles that one could think of was secured and placed in readiness to be served on short notice. About four o'clock in the afternoon of the eventful day, the distinguished party ar rived and was driven to the hotel. Upon being told when to have supper ready the host sent word to Washington's room ask ing him if he would state what he would like best. He was greatly surprised to learn that Washington desired only mush and milk. In the attempt to have every thing convenient those in charge had not thought of cornmeal. The nearest place where it could be obtained was at the mill of Nicholas Fringer, some distance from the village. However, one of the villagers, friend of the landlord, offered to go af- ter the meal, and a minute later was as- tride horse galloping towards the mill The much desired article was quickly se- cured and the horseman was soon back to the tavern. Although supper was little late Washington had his mush and milk, and later the party resumed it's iourneY

 England has to have about six million gallons of brandy annually. She is now importing some Australian brandy. The first shipment was made last year, but in this case the new spirit was ruined be- cause placed in new casks which injured the flavor. This year old casks have been used and the experiment is said to be great success, so much 80 as to cause alarm in California, which has secured quite trade in England for its brandy since the vineyards of France have been 80 extensively ravaged by the phylloxera. The flavor of the Australian article is said to be finer than that produced in California.
 Not much fuss is made nowadays about laying a submarine cable. A British steam CT left London the other day with 2, 2,165 miles of cable, which will be laid between Senegal, in Africa, and Pernambuco, in Brazil. In the deep sea the cable will be paid out at the rate of ten knots an hour, though large allowance must be made for stoppsges through impediments thousand fathoms deep. According to the engineer in charge, the line will be laid and the steamer back in England before the end of the month of July. The line is owned by who appreciate the trade ad- vantages, as we'll as the chances of direct profits, from such an enterprise.

PHOTOGRAPHY IN COLORs.

PHOTOGRAPHY IN COLORS. It is evident that the time is not far dis tant when photography in colors will be common. A Philadelphia man the other day announced that he had discovered the long sought secret, Professor Voge, of Der lin said the same things and now it is said that Mr. Lppmann at Paris has done it. His process consists in putting refecting surface behind the sensitized plate and thus causing the rays of light, after pass ing through the plate, to be returned through it once more. The result of this device was ths production some time since of several negatives in which the colors of stained glass window were fairly we'll pictured, some difficulty, however, being experienced in the employment of the film, which proved to be too coarse and slow for the delicate purposes of color photog- raphy. Since his first successes, there fore, MT. Lippman has been engaged in the task of improving the quality of the film. with yet more gratifying results to reward his labors. The new film pro- duces both the primary and secondary col ors of the solar spectrum and permits & stained glass window to be represented with all its intricscies of color and catches the hues of the landscape. Some draperies and parrot with coat of many colors required an exposure of from five to ten minutes in the sunlight, and the window several hours, in all these cases the re- suits, it is said, being satisfactory. Mr. Lippmann was able also to reproduce the green of foliage, the gray of stone wall, and, wonderful to relate, the blue of the sky.
 It has been confidently asserted that such things could never be done, but they have been. MT. Lippmann Believes that the problem of color photography is solved at last, although much remains to be done in the development of yet more sensitive and at the same time more powerful film

METHODIST AND PROHIBITION.
 The address of the Bishops of the Gen. eral Conference of the Methodist Church, now in session in Omaha, is influential in the great Methodist Church. It is signed by all the bishops, and is properly regard ed as the most digni6ed announcement which the Church can make of it's position and policy. It need hardly be stated (be- cause so widely known) that the Church is pronounced in its advocacy of total ab- stinence and the prohibition of the liquor traffic. At the last General Conference, in the bishops address, with reference to the liquor traffic, these words occur: 'It can never be licensed without sin" Some persons had construed this statement as declaration that any man was 8 sinner bition party. The words afforded to the Pro- hibition party 8 weapon which they used toward all Methodist Republicans in the States where the Republican party did not stand for prohibition. So much concern ing the address of the bishops four years ago needs to be known in order to appre- ciate the present declaration of the same body. It will be noticed that on the question of temperance the bishops reaf- firm their adherence to prohibition, and say: "We rejoice in every step of progress toward the attainment of these ends" Also: "We exhort all our people to en- courage every repression and limitation of the business, and to keep steady eye to its total extirpation." Under the head of "politics," the bishops further say: "The attitude of our Church is strenuously non partisan and non-sectional;" and also: ''The right of suffrage, or the franchise, we regard as great and responsible trust, which should in all cases, ecclesiastical and civil, be exercised conscientiously, but in absolute personal freedom. When moral issues are before the public our people are invariably found on the side of the highest standard, but even then they | choose their own party affiliations and refuse to be dictated to as to the matter of their vote"
 This should make an end of the claim
 that the Methodist Church is committed to
 third-party prohibition.
