In opening the session of the Cumber-
land County Educational Society yester-
day, Principal W. J. Corthell referred to
Deering and Westbrook as being the first
municipalities in the State to unite in
hiring superintendent to devote his
whole time to their schools. Mr. Corthell
declared that this system ought to be ex-
tenued to all the towns in Maine, and
would have to be before the schools in
the country regions especially could be-
made to do the work which they should
do. Mr.. Corthen undoubtedly hit upon
great defect in our school system The
abolition of the district system has been

superintendenoe is needed even more.

The announcement OF new novel from
the pen of Marie Corelli may easily be
| termed the most important of the presen t
year. The author has been busily engaged
upon the work ever since the publication
and consequent enormous success OF her
last novel, "Barab bas," now in its twenty
fifth thousand, and replies very strongly
to the critics of that book. The story turns
upon the incarnation of Satan in human
form and in modern society, and Miss Cor

questions of the day in mastery manner.

dollar. To further show how will
ing we are for fight, L will leave
the selection OF referee to Mr..
Stuart and Corbett.. I'll sign ar

wants to prove that he is not a
coward, he will accept Stuart's
latest offer for a fight near Ell Paso
for purse OF $4,000, in which he
agrees to divide the purse between
the two men should he fail to bring
the fight off on the day selected
without interference of any kind.
That is the fairest proposition ever
made, and / don't think Corbett
will ever accept, because he is too
faint-hearted to go up against a
man of Fitzsimmons' calibre in a
fair and square fl yht, where crook

A Test of Death.

Referring to the subject OF pre-
mature burial, DIR. w. S. Hedley,
writing to the Lancet, says: "Forty
years ago the subject was investi-
gated by Crimotel, twenty years
later by Rosenthal and more re-
Gently by Onimus. 1t seems safe to
say that in no disease, certainly in
none of those conditions usually
enumerated as likely to be mis-
taken for death, is galvaDic and
faradaic eXcitability abolished in
every muscle OF the body. On the
other hand, electro. muscular con.
tractility disappears in all the
muscles within a few hours after
death, generally ninety minutes
to three hours, according to Rosen-
thaD, its persistence varying to
some extent with the particular
muscle examined, ~, and with the
mode of death, (2). Therefore, IL
ELECTROMAGNETIC contractility be
present in any muscle, it means
life or death only few hours be-
fore. 1t is clear that no interment
or post norton examination ought
to take place so long as there is
any flicker of electric excitsbility.
To me 1t seems almost equally OBJ
vious that in all doubtful cases,
sometimes in sudden death, and
often to allay the anxiety OF
friends, this test ought to be APP
piled, and applied by one who'is
accustomed to handle electric cur
rents for purposes Of diagnosis"
