Sure Way of Identifying the Remains
Persons Burned.

Sure Way of Identifying the Remains of
Persons Burned.
The Identification of bodies that have
been mutilated beyond recognition by
the usual rules has until recently been
so difficult that every year hundreds of
bodies of heroes have been consigned
to nameless graves.
But new system of Identification
has been discovered that is as accurate
and unfailing as is the famous system
of measurement employed by the Paris
police in keeping track of the criminals
of France. 1t is Identification by means
of the teeth. 1t was first suggested
and put in practice by a New York
dentist. For years it has been the Gus
tom of all first-class dentists to keep
complete chart of the teeth of all their
patients, together with record of all
filings, removals or other work done
to the plasticators. These charts and
records are carefully filed away, and
are kept as long as the patient lives
A comparison of several hundred of
these charts recently made in New
York showed that no two of them were
identically alike, and celebrated art
ist made the assertion that the same
rule would hold good in 10000 cases.
The first and most noted instance where
Identification by the teeth was made
conclusive was in the case of Norcross,
the dynamiter, who attempted the life
of Russell Sage, and was blown to
| pieces. While trousers button fur
nished the first clew to this identity, it
was not until his teeth were examined
by his dentist that the identity was
recognized by the young mans parents.
The next time that the system was
brought into prominence was after the
terrible Hotel Royal fire in New York,
in which all of the victims were burned
beyond semblance to humanity. While
the charred bodies were lying at the
morgue an old lady called there in
search of her missing daughter. She
was accompanied by her family dem
tist, and within five minutes the miss
ing and erring child was found and
fully identified by means of the den
lists chart. The old lady's example
was followed by others, and in this
way nearly all of the victims of the
holocaust were recognized and claimed
By their friends. Chicago Times.

The comfortnble Corset cover.

In speaking of the corset cover it
may be said that great many women
dispense with it. 1t is claimed that
taking away, as it certainly does, from
the shape of the stays, it tends to make
the bodice less perfect in its fit. Nat
urally, every woman has her own ideas
on this subject, but the correct cover
of to-day and that of ten years ago are
so entirely different that it may be
doubted as to whether the argumeni !
holds good. In the first place it is no /.
laden with trimmings, it is made to Es
as closely as possible, and it's seamS
are very small ones, done after tho
fashion of "a French hem. Sleeves ara
no longer noted, but if cover is low
in the neck simple band is all that IL
necessary, while if it is high and cut out
round, square or pointed, the shoulder
portion forms all that is necessary
The arms eyes oftenest have simple
hem finish, very narrow and very fat.
Lace outlines the opening of the neck,
and this may be drawn in with Iowa
ribbon, but anything that will in my
way make "bunchiness" is avoided.
Small pearl buttons are used for the
closing, and the cover itself should be
fitted to be little longer than the
stays.-Ladies' Home Journal

How the Deep Sea Is Lighted.

Away down in the dark depths Of the
ocean there are living lanterns that arc
borne about to light up the darkness.
A queer fish called the "midshipmite"
carries the brightest and most striking
of all these sea torches. 70.
Along its back, under it, and at the
base of it's fms there are small disks
that glow with clear, phosphorescent
light like rows of shining buttons on
the young middy's uniform. In this
way it gets its name "midshipmite, "
by which young sailors in the navy are
often called. -.
These disks are exactly like small
bulls eye lanterns with regular lenses
and reAectors. The lenses gather the
rays and the refectors throw them out
again. There is layer of phosphores-
cent cells between the two, and the
entire effect is as perfect as If made by
some skilful optician.
Many other fish have 'refeetors,"
many have tlenses," but the enid
shipmite" is the only kind that has
such splendid specimens of both.
The fish is so constructed that when
it is frightened by some devouring sea
monster it can close its lenses and hide
itself in the darkness. 1t can turn its
lantern off and on at will, and then it
is always "flled" and ready when
wanted.
Another marine animal has lumin-
GUS bulb that hangs from its chin, and
thus throws the light before it, to srn
it of the approach of enemies. Still
another upholds big light LON the
extremity of the dorsal fin.h Others
again have constant supplies of lu-
minous oil that runs down their sides
from the fins. making bright and
constant light all around.
Most of the jelly fish are phosphores-
cent. These live far down on the
very floor of the ocean, where it is al
ways dark and gloomy. The dwellers
in these watery depths are provided
with lights of their own shining bodies
and fins, which illumine their home
with strange though no doubt cheer
full glare. New York Press !

TIME TO AWAKE.

SIT is high time to awake out Of sfeep,"
Rom. xiii. II.
The very fact that Christians are asleep is
reason why they should at once awake.
Should soldiers sleep on the field of battle2
Should sentinels sleep at their posts? Should
watchmen slumber when dangers are thick
on every side? Should Christians sleep
when the powers Of earth and hell are COM
bining for one deadly assault upon the church
when tho purchase Of the Ssvior's blood
is yet unrecaimed, and when the
world is sinking TO perdition? Shall
they sleep for whom Christ died - on
whom the salvation OF souls depends, and for
whom crowns Of glory are purchased2 Shall
they sleep when the distant clangor OF trurn-
pets, and the sweet voices OF angelic: song
sters and the reeling earth, and the dissolving
elements are all about to proclaim, ''The
Sleep! when the time Is 80 short, and the
end Is so near2 Ah, no; 1t Is time to awake
high time to awake out of sleep2 Yes, 1t Is
time to awake, for we should never have slept
at all. We have slept too long, for we should
never have gone to sleep. How much time
have we lost in our slumbers2 How much
good have we failed to do! How much have
we failed to enjoy! How sadly have our lights
been dimmed2 How fearfully have our hopes
been clouded 1t is high timeto awake. The
state of the Church demands it, and the con-
dition and danger ofthe impenitent call on us
to awake. Is the Bible true2 We all believe
it. Then the impenitent arc lost. Not that
they will be lost, but they arc lost now He
that believeth not, Is condemned already-al-
ready under sentence of death eternal Sus-
pended by q brittle thread over the burning
lake, O single blast, and they fall into perdi-
tion! And yet the Church is asleep2 Oh, it is
high time to awake The souls of the perish
ing cry in evory slumbering car, "Awake!
awake! Shake off your drowsiness, and run
to the rescue OF the dying"
It is high time to awake now; and unless
we do awake, the Savior may by and by say
in bitter reproof, tSleep on now, and take
yolr rest behold, he is at hand that doth
be ray mel" Lord, is it II Let that search
in inquiry reach every heart; Lord, is It I?

Sioux CITY JOURNAL: By no pos

80 low that the farmers will not this
year make profit. The farmers will
this year be the most prosperous class
In the community, They are so to-
day. The banks are making no
profits now. Most Of them are actu-
ally losing money. The sky Is dark
over manufacturers. They are COM
PEELED to stop work. throwing multi
tudes Of employed out Of wages.
Simply to stop operations sor a short
period means great loss to many
manufacturers. The farmers, as
class, are getting the best of it.
Even if prices Of their staple crops
should go a good deal lower than they
are now, the fact remains that the
prices Of most of the wares for which
the crops will be exchanged must
also 20 lower. The farmer is the man
to be envied.
