ALIVE IN HER COFFIN.
Mrs. Charles Boyer was Buried
During Suspended Animation.

WASHINGTON, Pa, July PA.
case of suspended animation is re-
ported from Morrison's three
miles west of Whitehaven. The
story is to the effect that a young
wife died nine months after being
welded. Her husband became
haunted with the belief that she
had been buried alive. He even
tually lost his mind. To satisfy
him his friends re-opened the grave
and to their horror discovered that
his supposed hallucination wa, a
terrible reality.
Your correspondent investigated
the matter to-day and found it to
he substantially correct. The
woman had been buried before
natural dissolution had taken
place, and the husband became a
raving maniac.
Morrison's is a farming village
situated on the western slope Of
Mount Yeager. Charles Boger's
father died two years ago, leaving
his son to take care of the farm.
The latter six months later married
Miss Catherine Leader. A year
went by and nothing occurred to
existence until one day

The Importance of Salt.

: While most of farmers salt with
some degree of regularity, there
are too many who defer this until
they have nothing else to do. Very
few realize the great Importance of
a constant supply of salt for live
stock. In some experiments that
were made in France, it was found
that a lot of steers were given free
access to salt at all times made a
much larger gain on the same
amount of feed than did, a similar
lot which were not given salt at all
and another lot which was salted
once a week did but little better
than those which were not given
any. The blood has quite a large
quantity of salt in it, and this of
course, supplies the elements
which build up the carcass, and if
the supply of salt falls short Of
the. requirements of nature the
assimilation of food is stopped to
Just that extent and the result is
loss to the owner. Every head of
live stock OH a farm should have
salt constantly, in fact arrange
ments should be made SO that it is
always accessible. 1t is surprising
to one who has never given the
matter attention, how often cattle
and sheep will go to the salt box
when they have it in a place
where they can get it at any time.
If stock is salted but once. week
they will eat more than is good for
them, if it is given, and the sur
plus is not assimilated and is lost
SO far as any benefit is concerned.
1t is a very simple matterto ar
range a covered box in such a man.
ner that it can be moved from field
to field as the stock is changed, or
Jumps of rock salt may be pro-
vided, and the. owner will be much
benefited by being careful about
this matter. If you do not believe
this go without salt in your food
for just one day and then see how
good it tastes.

self that dissolution had actually
taken place before he was salts
fed.
Among those was the Chaplain
Gus" test by holding the hand of
the deceased before a strong light:
There was no scarlet color visible,
and everything went to show that
death had really set in naturally.
After the burial of his wife the
shock which >Boger had experien-
ced seemed to wear away gradually
until one day some one came to
him and told him that previous to
their marriage Catherine had been
subject to periodic hysteria and
that there was grave possibility
of her having been buried alive.
A terrible thought that his wife
might possibly have been buried
alive haunted him night and day,
unto finally he became raving
maniac. He believed that his wife
|had been taken from him and
stated again and again that she
was alive.
So strongly did he plead his
cause that his friends were finally
induced to reopen the grave. Ac-
cordingly a dozen of them went to
the cemetery, accompanied by the
demented husband. During the
progress of the digging of the
grave ha remained perfectly quiet
until the coffin was reached. he
then became excited and could
hardly be pacifed until the lid
was removed. The woman had
been buried alive, and all the evi-
dences going to prove such a ter
rible blunder were painfully ap-
parent. The body was turned face
downward. The glass in the lid
was broken. The robes were torn
to shreds,hair dishevelsd and flesh
torn, showing where the woman
had torn herself in the frenzy up
on discovering her awful position.

More people came on to the beach
to wonder. They did not think
she was hurt or in danger for she
made no outcry, but it did not
seem possible that anybody could
voluntarily sit on a wet raft after
sunset.
At last somebody saw the skirt
smashing around in the sand. The
girls and matrons comprohended
and giggled. Maybe some of them
thought it served her right for
being able to swim so we'll. The
cause of the trouble was apparent
but the remedy was not clear. 1t
was very cold by this time, and
nobody wanted to swim out to the
raft, even TO rescue the distressed
one. There was no boat handy and
it looked for time as if the best
swimmer at Santa Cruz would
have to roost on the cold wet raft
until dark.
But the occasion, as is customary
with crises, produced its hero.
Addison Miner, in a new bathing
suit burst through the wondering
throng seized the garment and
plunged into the yeasty sea. AS
be neared the raft the girl dived
and swan to meet him.
She got her skirt and the rest
was easy.

BEAUTY IN DISTRESS.
why a Girl Swimmer Sat on a
Cold Raft Till After Sundown.

| San Francisco Examiner.
The whispering waves rose and
fell after The manner of whispering
waves at Santa Cruz and elsewhere.
There were not many bathers in
the surf, for the best of the day
was past and the smile had all
gone out of the weather.:
This was Wednesday afternoon.
Away out beyond the foata black
speck showed now and then. It was
the head of the girl that swims bet
ter than anybody else at Santa
Cruz. The float is thelimit of the or
dinary swim down there, but to her
the swim to the raft is but the first
step of a journey, She swims away
out beyond the line Of boats that
do what they can to make the sun
set picturesque.
On Wednesday she tarrisd at
the deserted foat on the way QUITO
sea, and when she had gone there
remained on the float a bathing
skirt. Skirts are rather cumber-
some in long-distance swimming.
The wind rose a bit and by and by
a little wanton wave went over the
raft and carried the carmen to the
edge and other waves reached for
it and finally it left. the raft and
went dancing merrily shoreward.
The bay is very breezy nowadays
at Santa Cruz, and the skirt was
hurried along. Nobody noticed
the garment until it had foated
close in, and nobody paid much.
attention then.
After a while the girl who
swims better than any .one else
turned her strokes shoreward. She
reached. the raft and looked for
her skirt, which by this time was
being used as a mop by the wash
ing waves on the sandy shore.
While a skirt is inconyenient in
q long swim, it is practically in
dispensable ina walk up the boaeh
when a lot of people are looking
on. So the best swimmer at Santa
Cruz huddled up on the float.
