SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.
Remarkable Cases Of Its Occurrence In and
Effect on Human Bodies.

Remarkable Cases Of It's Occurrence In and
Effect on Human Bodies.
Medical literature of this country as
we'll as that of England and continental
Europe relates many remarkable in
stances of tho spontaneous combustion
of the human body. In all such cases,
which are the more interesting on &C.
count of their comparative rarity, the
victim has been person addicted to the
immoderate use Of spirituous liquors,
either as beverage or in the form of a
bath. Little by little all the water and
other liquids Of the body are replaced by
alcohol, and then all that is necessary
to cause a catastrophe is to find some
means Of applying flame to the spurious
gases which are escaping from every
PORE Occasionally the breath of the
poor victim is fired while lighting
pipe or a cigar, or it may be that a
flame comes in contact with and lights
the alcoholic vapors which are escaping
from some other portion Of the body.
When once the fire is applied, blush
flame extends very rapidly to all parts
of the body, leaving it a shapeless mass
of charred flesh and calcined bones. In
many instances attempts have been
made to extinguish the flames with wa
ter, but always without success When
the affected parts Of the victim are
touched, a fatty matter attaches itself to
the finger, still continuing to burn and
giving off very disagreeable odor,
something similar to that which arises
from burning mixture Of horn. hair
and wool.
During all this time thick black
smoke arises from the body and attaches
itself to the surface Of all objects with
which it comes in contact, the "set.
tlings' from it being in the form Of q
sweat, unctuous to the touch and Of an
unbearable fetor. In the majority of
such cases combustion is only arrested
when the flesh has been reduced to
cracklings and tho bone to powder.
Vincent, in his "Curiosities Respecting
Man," says. Commonly the feet and
portion Of the head are not burned, but
usually when the combustion is finished
it is difficult to believe that the inciner-
ated mass is all that is left Of a human
body. st. Louis Republic

A comparison of the two tables shows
a gratifying increase in the number of
acres of improved land, and is an indica-
ton Of the steady growth Of the country
districts. The reduction in valuations,
especially in town lots, goes to show that
the inflated values of the boom period
have been largely eliminated, being only
one-fourth Of what they were three years
ago. The reduction of thirty per cent in
the valuation will necessitate cores
ponding reduction OF the debt limit, and
as the county and every town in it is up
to that limit OH last years basis, there
will be little chance for extravaganza un-
til these indebtednesses are reduced to
the decreased limit.

Their notice that telegraphic COM
munication between Pekin and Co

river, and they can not commune

wire, as their escape from the Co
rean peninsula by the northern
overland route is prevented by the

pears inevitable
The scene of the last naval en-
gagement was the mouth of the
river forming IA part of the bound
AIRY between Corea and Manchuria,
the latter being the great military
province Of China. The japanese,
therefore, are now in force on the
border and coast of their enemy
and an early transfer of the scene
of war from COrean to Chinese soil
is looked for by army officers unless
the movement should be prevented
by an early advent Of winter. Mil
itary experts believe that as the re-
manning Chinese troops in COrea
have surrendered the Japanese will
transport the main body of their
troops by sea from Ping Yang to
the Manchurian coast, and making
a rapid advance on Mukden, the
capital of the province, will soon
be in a position to organize a cam
paign on Pekin itself.

and that the only obstacle to tri-
umphant campain Of the japanese,
apart from the inclement winter
of Northern China, is to be looked
for in the interference of the great
powers. There is reason TO believe
that the feeling is growing in Eu-
rope that the war bids fair to go
beyond the bounds unless some in
huence is brought TO bear to check
it, and some nations having large
interests in China have taken
alarm already. They fear the re-
suit on their own interests of so
overwhelming a victory by Japan
that must be followed by domina-
ton of japanese interests, animated
by commercial or territorial ieal-
ousy, they are seeking way to ter

the theft. The thieves have not
been apprehended, and how the

TRUE ECONOMY.

Some women entertain curious
ideas of what constitutes economy
A fragile little wife saves seventy five
cents each week because she cannot
afford to hire some one to do her
ironing. But she never hesitates to
pay a dollar pair for stockings Or
two dollars for pair of gloves, or
three for the DOCTORS visit occasioned
by overtaxing her strength.
Another considers fruit a luxury
beyond the reach of the family purse,
but she has no scruple whatever in
buying new material for the dress
which she has worn only a few months
and employing a dressmaker to alter
the sleeves to accord with the voluni-
nous fashion.
We recall dear woman, the moth
er of six active children, who would
not save her strength by using a car
pet sweeper because, she said, "they
do wear out the carpet So" But the
habit of what she called economy
wore her out long before the carpet,
and the motherless children have the
things mother saved instead of her
precious self.
True economy considers other
values than dollars and cents. 1t also
studies how to secure the largest re-
turns from the expenditure of money.
The purchasing power of a dollar va
ries greatly in the hands of different
women. She who has the most to
show, not necessarily in material
goods or increased savings in the
bank, but in health and comfort, in
friendships and growth of character,
is the one who has most wisely used
her Lords talent.
