Death Signs.

IL has always been the aim of medical
science to prove with absolute certainty
tho existence of death, and now that
cremation is gaining large numbers of
advocates medical researches aud eXper-
iments in that direction are more i'm
portant than ever.
The Lancet published recently an nc
count of experiments made by Edward
Harvard, who in some cases applied not
less than ten different tests. Among
these eight denoted that death had act
ually set in, while two spoke against the
supposition that life was extinct.
Among the positive evidences adduced
by the tests applied by Harvard were to-
tai absence of heart throbs, total absence
of respiration, uniformity of tempera
ture OF the body aud the surrounding
atmosphere, non contraction OF the
muscles and the muscle groups under
the electric current, appearance OF brown
spots after subcutancOus in lection Of
ammonia, rigidity, etc. The negative
results obtained by Harvard were the
fluid condition Of the blood upon open
ing an artery, but as in abnormal cases
the blood does not CONCEAL after death
sets in, this test cannot be regarded as a
reliable one OF greater importance was
the absence Of another sign 10 which
many attach much significance,
which is that when the fingers OF
corpse are held against an intense
stream Of light and one looks through
the space between two fingers pressed
together a red line will be noticed ia
life, which IS not the case in death In
the case described by Harvard, however,
this line was still visible, although
death was incontestablc, decomposition
having begun. In another case this line
was absent while the lady was yet alive.
Haward's experiments 0emonstrate that
the condition of the blood and the all
seuce Of the red line are not always re-
liable death signs. While CONCEALED
blood always denotes the existence Of
death, fluid blood does not always indi.
cate that life is not yet extinct. st.

IN view Of the number OF fatal aud
disastrous railroad wrecks that have
occurred recently the action OF the
train dispatchers' convention in call.
ing for statutory examinations OF
dispatchers by a competent board Is
worthy OF commentator. Upon no
class OF railroad employees is the
safety OF the travelling public SO de-
pendent as upon the train dispatchers.
While on duty they are in supreme
command Of all the other employees.
Upon their skin, intelligence and
fidelity rest the lives OF passengers
and trainmen. Yet they are APP
pointed from the ranks OF the rail-
road tclcgraphers without any ex-
animation, at the favor or the caprice
OF the local superintendent. En-
gineers serve a long apprenticeship a3
fremen, and have TO thoroughly uD.
dcrstand their business. Conductors
are not placed In charge OF trains
until they have learned their duties
by several years service as brakeman.
Yet the dispatchers men who
control the working OF the whole
road while on duty-are frequently
raw, inexperienced boys who have
found favor in the eyes OF the super
intendent, and who enter upon their
duties without any other qualification
than knowledge OF telegraphy
which Is frequently far from perfect.
The whole system is wrong, and 10
can be made right only b. subJecting
dspatchcrs u an examination as
strict as that required OF steamboat
engineers, pilots and other persons

HORSES FEAR BEARS.
Bruin Knows That a Horse Can Tell
When He's Nenr.

There is nothing that horse Is more
afraid of than bear. A horse can smell
a bear long way, and that alone will
make him nervous and balky. If the
scent of the bear is such that n horse
knows bruin is near he will refuse utter.
ly to proceed and will do his best To turn
and go the other way. The bear knows
this, and nothing gives him more pleas
ure than TO be able TO frighten n horse
and see the effect Of the terror he IN
spires, says the New York Herald
To enjoy this fun properly the bear
will bury himself, all but his eyes aud
nose, in the swamp muck holes that are
frequent along the edges of backwoods
roads in many localities. This both de-
stroys his scent and hides him from view.
Lying thus concealed he will wait the
coming of IA team. When the horses are
passing his hiding place the bear will
give one of the resounding snorts pecu-
liar to him when he is out for fun, and at
the same time rise from the muck hole
dripping with the black ooze. There is
as certain TO be an instantaneous runaway
as il is that the horses are there.
Farmers or teamstcrs who have sue
ceeded in getting control OF their horses
in time and have cared TO look back
have seen jocular bruin on occasions like
this dancing about in the road in such
intense enjoyment of the effect Of his
humor that they have not had the heart
to 90 back and admonish him, even
though they might have had gun.
Once n backwoods farmer on his way
home f,om trading at his market village
among the Pike county hills had his
such as this. The horses ran away so
fast over the rough road that a sack OF
flour was jolted from his wagon. The
farmer stopped his team after it had run
half mile or more. Missing the sack
of flour he took n new corn. cutter, which
happened to be among lis purchases,
and startel back 80 recover the flour.
"lll git that -four" he said, 'if hef
TO cut that bar into hash ~
In rounding a sharp bend in the road
the farmer came suddenly upon IA sight
so comical that he forgot all about his
loss and the threat he had made against
tho bear, and he almost rolled on the
ground with laughter. The bear had
overhaulcd the sack Of flour, paved il
open and cmptied its contents in the
road. lie had evidently rolled himself
over and over in the flour, covered with
sticky mud as he was, and when the far
mer came in sight Of him he was the
most srotesque looking object in black
and white that human eyes had ever
gazed upon. He was on his hind feet,
his paws raised above his head. while he
pranced about in most ludicrous fashion,
to the intense enjoyment of two other
whose dclectation he was plainly acting
clown. The farmer was so tickled that
he went home more than satisfied, and
declared that he woulC have lost ten
sacks of flour rather than have missed
the show.

THE VIGlLANTES.
What Led To Their Organization In
san Francisco.

Continued lawlessness, unchecked by
the usual processes of criminal law, made
life aud property in San Francisco iase-
cure. Criminals of every grade, from
the penal colonies of New South Wales
and Australia, the Sandwich Islands, and
other Pacific ports, had locked to San
Francisco, allured by the prospect of
plunder and robbery in community
then living in state Of almost Arcadian
simplicity aud security. In twelve
month, murder, arson, burglary, and
other grimes against person and property
were exceedingly common. The police
were inefficient. and. like the courts,
suspected of collusion with the law
breakers. The jails were insecure, juries
were bribed, aud the whole course of
justice clogged.
Finally one Bardue, caught red
handed In murderous assault on MIR.
Jansen, a reputable merchant, was taken
to prison and put under lock and key.
The people, rs il convinced that this
wretch would escape, as others like him
had escaped before him. silently and sui
lenly surrounded the JAIL determined to
keep watch over the subsequent pro-
ceedings.
William Il. Coleman, drawn thither
10y mild curiosity saw that the common
thought and object of the assembage
was the speedy punishment of the Grim
inal. As the temper of the crowds waxed
more intense he broke silence and be-
sought them not To proceed to violence,
but 10 organize court and try the man
then and there. Ii Burdue was inno-
cent, then he should go free; il he WIRE
guilty, he should be hanged before the
sun went down. This was agreed to.
and although, by strange miscarriage
of Justice. the would.be murderer escaped,
the Vigilance Committee of 1851 was
born. Later in that summer, May aud
June, 1881, two great and destructive
fires, undoubtedly see by pillagers,
swept the city with the bosom of ruin.
Millions OF dollars worth of property
and one hundred lives were lost in these
fires. The incendiarics were indicted.
Under hair-splitting technicaltics thoy
evaded punishment.
This was the occasion of the formal
organization of the san Francisco Wig.
lance committee. which had previously
had an inchoatc existence, with Will
lam i. Coleman as Ole of its active mem
bers. The names os some two hundred
substantial business men were enrolled
on its books of membership, and these
citizens pledged themselves "to watch,
pursue, and bring to justice the outlaws
infcsting the city, through the regularly
constituted courts if possible, through
more summary process il necessary. The
first offender caught was one jenkins.
taken in the act of carrying oil
a safe from store. He was tried, con
dcmncd, and hanged within an hour.
Other arrests followed, and duying the
thirty days of active operations of the
Vigilance Committee four men were
hanged, and about thirty were deported
beyond the seas by outgoing vessels, un-
der the threat Of death If they returned.
In every case the proceedings of thc Wig
ilantcs were characterized by decorum /;
and every accused man was granted a
fair trial by jury, competent counsel be-
Ing assigned him. = liarper's Weekly.

home. She was in an exhausted condi-
tion, bruised and torn 10y the under
growth and faint from her long exposure.
She was reclining on the damp earth
! when found. Near her lay her rifle, and q
few feet away were the remains of a
deer and the body of an enormous pan
ther.
According TO her story, she hunted
until late in the afternoon of Monday
with poor success. Game was scarce
as well as very wild. AS she was about
10 turn homeward fine buck came in
sight. She fired at the animal and gave
him death-wound. He disappeared
through the underground, leaving u trail
of blood behind.
The huntress followed, satisfied that
the buck would shortly succumb 10 the
fatal bullet. The trail of the wounded
deer led the huntress through rough
and broken country. Emerging from
into dark canyon ringed with tail red
woods and full of giant ferns.
In small opening she saw what
startled her and what was sufficient TO
have shaken the nerves Of the boidest
mountaineers. There. in the centre Of
the opening, lay the buck, and fessting
npon his remains was panther. Re-
covering from the momentary fright the
hun,ress advanced boldly into the open
ing. When within hundred feet Of
the panther the lady levelled her rifle
aud fired. The aim was true and the
result fatal.
The reaction. however, was disastrous.
Her nerves, having been strained to the
highest tension, gave way, and from the
moment of shooting the panther until
she was rescued, the lady remained in a
Unconscious condition.

Remedial Use OF Apples.

Chemically the apple is composed Of
vegetable fibre. albumcn, sugar, gum
chlorophyl, malic acid, gallic acid, lime
and much water. Furthermore, the
German analysts say that the apple con-
tains larger percentage Of phosphorus
than any other fruit or vegetable. The
PHOSPHORUS is admirably adapted for
renewing the essential nervous matter
lecithin-of the brain and spinal cord.
1t is. perhaps, for the same reason, rudely
understood, that old Scandinavian ira d.
ditions represent the apple a the food OF
the gods, who, when they felt themselves
TO be growing feeble and intirm, resorted
to this fruit, renewing their powers Of
mind and body. Also, the acids OF the
apple are of singular use for men of sed
entarv habits, whose livers are sluggish
in action, those acids serving to eliminate
from the body noxious matters, which,
if retained, would make the brain heavy
and dull, or bring about jaundice or skin
eruptious and other allied troubles
Some such experience must have led TO
the custom of taking apple sauce with
roast pork. rich goose and like dishes.
The malic acid of ripe apples, either
raw or cooked, will neutralize any excess
of chalky matter engendered by eating
too much meat. Ii is also the fact that
such ripe fruits a. the apple, the pear
| and the plum. when taken ripe and with
out sugar, diminish acidity in the stom-
ach, rather than provoke it. Their
vegetable sauces and juices are converted
into alkaline csrbonates, which tend to
counteract acidity. NORTH American
