That the grain mon were correct when

heavy falling off from the same week of

the rates will, upless speedy action is

today at 20 cents, and all the roads were

however, they struck snag, and the

Historic Landmarks OF London,

One by one London's historic land
marks are departing. When it is i'm.
possible to get rid Of them any other
way, the powers that be just change
their names, and pretend that they
have ceased to exist. In this way Rat
Gift Highway and Petticoat Lane have
gone from us, though it is more than
doubtful whether under their new
names they smell any sweeter or are
any more or less desirable than they
were. The proposal made recently
at meeting of the board Of works for
st. Giles'-in-the. Fields comes nearer
home. This body is anxious to con-
vert Seven Dials into ST. Andrews
circus. Their argument seems to be
that mo little inconvenience and con.
fusion" result to the post office au-
thorities from such multiplicity Of
streets and thoroughfares Of the same
name in the metropolis" But we
have yet to learn where these other
Seven Dials are to be found, and we
have explored the directory in vain.

and popular cry, but London surely
has plenty Of circuses already without

DEATH BY FIRE.
Evidence Which Indicates that Victims

Evidence Which Indicates that Victims
Lose All Sense Of Feeling.
A little girl four or iiye years old in
the farm district Of til, state Of Illinois
had her clothes set on fire while stand
ing near a cook-stove. which was out
of doors near the kitchen, The mother
had gone for bucket Of water few
rods away. The screams Of her child
FASTENED the mothers steps. an the
burning clothes were at once extin-
guished.
Twas Immediately called to visit the
unfortunate. Thinking shp must be
in terrible suffering, all reasonable
haste was made. Nearing the ,ouse, |
listened to hear the cries Of the child,
but heard nothing
To my great surprise, on arriving at
the bedside Of the patient, she was
found living quietly in ed, without the
least sign Of physical suffering The
burned surfaces ha been covered over
with wheat -four. Bat it is doubtful
II this has or had any effect whatever.
The pulse was beating over one hun
dred and twenty minute. This in
Dictated profound shock upon the
vitality. The accident occurred about
five o'clock in windy October Alter
noon, and the poor child died at eleven
o'clock that night and gave no more
evidence Of pain.
Here was an instructive case The
length of time Of actual suffering Of
the child, as stated by the mother
that it ceased crying as soon as the
flames were extinguishcd--could not
have been over one or two minutes.
say, three minutes al the most. The
girls hands, arms, face, breast and
other places were burned and bis
tered, so the cuticle Of the skin peeled
off. Here death followed six hours
after the accident Hence the absorb
ing question Of interest Is, How long
did the agony of burning last2 Not
how long she lasted after the pain
ceased.
Now, why did not the child make an
cutlery Of pain after the flames were
extinguished. There is but one rea-
son. 1t is this The extensive burn
ing destroyed great deal of surface
or skin integument, From this there
followed profound shock to vitality,
which overpowered the sensorium.
Then all sensation was benumbed.
She died in this shock Of paralyzed SEN
sation.
The brain is the great center Of nerve
sensation. The skin is the great sur
face Of sensitive nerve expansion.
Therefore, it is my conviction that
when the great skin surface Of nerve
expansion had been destroyed, the re-
sulting shock overpowered the brain
sensorium and obiterated further
sense Of feeling. That If she had CON
tinued TO burn in the flames for time
longer she would have suffered no
more pain. The disabled skin surface
and the disabled brain sensorium were
now functionless and well nigh dead.
Hence it is an immense relief to be-
lieve and know that those unfortunates
in flames, whether hy accident or at
the stake, suffered less and not SO long
as we had Supposed Their agony of
pain, bad as 1t must be, continued but
one or two minutes. OF course, slow
fire would extend the time and pro-
long the agony. Progressive Thinker.

THE USE OF STATES.
They Are Being Abolished in the Public
Schools,

They Are Being Abolished in the Public
Schools,
The principal Of a ilrst-cass school,
being asked his opinion Of slate writ
ing, replied; u first Looked uromit
with complacency, later on with toler-
alton and finally with disgust
Many cities OF the United States
have already banlshcl states AMI Slate
pencils from their schools, the A.. ari-
ties agreeing with the prime al above
quoted.
Now, what objections are there to
states being used by the pupils of our
schools?
The first and by far the most impor-
tant objection is that thls slate work
is really detrimental to the pcn-anl-
ink work which comes later on in the
child's life.
Lyman d. Smith, an authority on
teaching writing, snys that children
who have been allowed to grinl on
states with slate pencils, seem to be
utterly incapable OF taking hold OF a
pen properly, and the teacher who be-
gins the pen-and-ini work has Il year
or eighteen months bad practice to
overcome.
If these children had begun with pa
per and lead pencil, and it is entirely
practicable for pupils in the lowest
grades-six years old-to do this
much time could have been saved and
the children would sooner come into
possession Of their handwriting"
The cramped hands, the despair Of
almost every teacher, are without
doubt due to the firm grasp of the
slate pencil, needed to make n distinct
mark on the slate,
The second objection to States is that
Of necessity, much of the nice work
done by children must be erased, and
the child is discouraged by seeing the
carefully-prepared arithmetic, spelling
or language lesson disappear with o
rub Or two Of the sponge
Had this work been done on paper,
the best papers could have been col
lected and arranged where they could
have been sent home to delight some
parents heart.
Then the sponges must be wet each
day, and they often dry out before the
child is through using them. They
are often passed from child to child,
and in this way skin diseases are
spread. They become foul, especially
ID hot weather,
1t is the custom In some schools to
cover the slate frames; these covers
are soon saturated by the frequent
washings, and 1t Is not pleasant to
handle them nor to smell them.
The adjustment Of the slate means
the adjustment Of school compan.
ions" sponge cups and slate rags and

relief to know that they would not
again be part Of the school furni.
ture.
There would perhaps be some slight
expense attached to the introduction
Of tablets insteal Of states, but paper
is very cheap, only common paper Is
necessary, and the advantages gained
would more than compensate for the
expense. Philadelphia Press

was reading, looked at her critically,
and said.

Her heart sunk and her lips quivered,
but he did not know 1t. She was con-
scious Of looking her best, and she
wanteda word Of praise, Of admiration,
from her husband, and she failed to re.
ceive it.
Why was he so grudging Of his
praise Ask the average man who an
swers his wife in that way when she
asks his opinion, as he invariably does,
and he will tell you that she always
looks well-dressed in good taste and
above criticism But why doesn't
he say that TO her? or rather, why
does he not make little lover-like
speech rsuch an occasion? Even the
courteous remarks he would bestow on
the costume of an ordinary acquaint-
ance are withheld from his own wife.
There was a husband--he is dead
