NERVOUS mortaIs who imagine
that they could stand dying all right
enough were it not for the fear OF
being buried alive may be interested
in a recent announcement made by
French scientist. He says that
an unfailing test of death may be
made by producing blister on the
hand or foot of the corpse, using a
candle for that purpose. If the
blister, upon being opened with a
pin or other instrument, is found to
contain fluid of any kind there is
still life in the supposed corpse. On
the other hand, should it contain
steam only, rest assured that the
spark has flown.

NOT TO WORK TO DIE.

"Jeunesse' Wagner
Labor is misunderstood and even
despised by too many people. It's,
above all, looked down upon as
drudgery to which one submits in
order to get food. He who has food,
it is thought, has no need for work,
but he who has not must work of
necessity. Both of thes do harm.
| distinguish two kinds of oilers,
those who are lazy and those who
labor with complaining. 1t is time,
then to re-establish the dignity of
work. How is one to do it? BY the
fact that all should work, without
any exception. Having admitted
that work is a law of life, it is i'm.
possible to find any pretext by which
a man may be exempt from it. He
who will not labor In the spirit of
this supreme law is condemned to
extinction. He will perish of in
ternal disease, consumed by his i'm
prisoned energies, which become
transformed into poison.
When there is no movement,
nature cannot preform her duty, and
so rusts and corrupts. Are you
doing nothing young man? That is
enough. l would rather hear that
you had the cholera, because that
only kills and contaminates the body.
The disease OF idleness preying upon
you will destroy the whole man.
You are not only infected yourself,
but you constitute centre of infec-
ton. In well-organized society he
, who is convicted of an evil such as
yours should be condemded TO death
"a death of public intamy, death
of starva ton. The man wh) has
bread in abundance and lives with
out work on the labor of others, OF
he who has no bread, but idly begs
| it or steals, as may happen, he should
know there is no place for him in a
world governed by the law of labor
and of joint responsibility. He falls
from the tree like dead leaves.

In travelling around the world
from east to west a day is lost, for
the same reason that if one could go
around the world in twenty.tour
hours in the same direction he would
retain the same relative position to
the sun--he would travel with the
sun, as it were, and there would be
no succession of day and night. So,
III travelling more leisurely west
ward, certain amount of time is
added to each day, which, in making
the circuit OF the earth, would
amount to an entire day. In order,
therefore, to adjust his reck oning to
the calendar of the place which he
left, he must at some point in the
journey pass over ore day of that
calendar as if he had not lived the
whole time, by lengthening every
day il his journey. Navigatcrs
have agreed to make the change in
the 18Qth degree east or west of
Greenwich. When they reach this
meridian, sailing westward, they re-
peat day. There is no other point
or lile on the worlds surface so
favorable for making the change in
reckoning, for dropping or adding a
day, as that which has been taken
by navigators, the prime meridian,
1908. This line falls in the Pacific
ocean, where there are no inhabi-
tants to be affected by the change,
except on the scattered islands.
