tally have more to eat than ever

meat and breadstuffs, and are in
good condition: If our people

then by the next year we will be
better off than we could expect
to be if different plan is pur-

The Southern farmer who
thinks his lot is a hard one be
cause the prices of his products
are low and do not pay him fol-
his labor, says the Wilmington
Star, might find something to
take the keen edge off Of his dis
appointment by comparing his
condition with that of thousands
Of other people who are mex
pressibly worse off than he is.
There are 900 or 10000 peo-
pie OH the farms i'll Western Ne
braska who for three months at
least, and probably longer, must
depend upon charity for food to
sustain life and for fuel and
clothing to keep their bodies
warm. From the fulness with
which Providence has blessed
her the South is now sending
succor to those suffering thous-
ands. Dispatches from Column
bus, Ohio, published yesterday
say that there are $4,000 people
in the coal mining districts of
that State who are without food
or fuel, and without the oppor-
tunities to earn the means to
purchase either. Those of them
that have employment have bare
~ enough to earn money to buy
a few of the neCessarles of life
while thousands have had no
work for months. These people
work i'll one of the "protected"
industries, which demands pro-
lection to "ensure them good
wages" What burlesque with
a tragic ending. There is moth
ing like this in the South. There
may be little money i'll the pock-
cts of the farmers Or other toll
ers, but there is no suffering for
food and no wailing appeal for
help.

The evening herald. [volume] (Shenandoah, Pa.) 1891-1966, 1895-03-14

According to Professor Kratter of Gratz,
who has Tor some time been performing
experiments ON the effect of electrical
shocks on animal life, death is most usu-
ally caused by sudden cessation of respira-
tion and consequent suffocation. During
the suffooation the heart continues its ao-
tion. If the asphyxia lasts more than a
certain time, about two minutes, the heart
stops this being a secondary phenomenon.
Generally speaking, the animals used-T-
cats, dogs, rabbits and mice-were not
easily killed by 1900 1000 volts alternat-
ing. The danger appears to lie in the
nervous system and to decrease with the
amount Of brain developmnt. Frequently
death occurs by momentary stoppage of
the movement of the heart, but slow
cessation of the hearts action, such as has
been observed in cases of human death,
was never observed. In no case was any
anatomical alteration observable to which
death might be attributed, but there are
sometimes LESSONS, breaking of blood YES
sells, and the diagnosis is rendered certain
by the peculiar burning at the position OF
contact and by the escape Of blood from
the capillaries, which indicates the patti
taken by the current.-Philadelph REQ

THE FIRST MRS. ADAM.
She Was Liiith and Was Expelled After
Being 1870 Years Married.

She Was Liiith and Was Expelled After
Being 13O Years Married.
Whether Lilith was one of the female
creation of chapter /, or a demon, or some
thing between the two she was, consider
ed matrimonially, complete failure She
was expelled after living with Adam 13O
years and subsequently became the wife
of satan, by whom she was the mother of
the Jinns, so familiar in Persian fairy
lore
The emphatic remark of Adam when he
first saw Eve, This is now bone of my
bones and flesh of my flesh, makes, it is
suggested, a comparison between Eve and
the beautiful but fiendlike Lilith not COM
plimentary to the latter, while the reference
on the birth of Seth to him as Adams son
Sin his own likeness, after his image,
conveys a painful hint of the uncanny off
spring born to Adam and Lilith.
Perhaps in revenge for this Lilith-the
name occurs translated might monster
in Isaiah xxxiv-beoame the sworn foe OF
little children, whom she was won't to
strangle with one of her glorious golden
hairs, unless the watchfulness of their
mothers drove her away. 1t has indeed
been gravely suggested by an etymulogist
of great daring that our word lullaby is
simply corruption of Lila abb, Lilith,
