CorOner's inquest was held after the
body was shipped home, and DR.. Peters,
a Republican and a reputable pbysi
clan, testified that his body indicated
that he was in fairly good physical
condition just before death; that there
were ten places where the skin was
broken on his face and neck and two
on his body; that they were all about
the same size and that they had been
made several days prior to his death;
that there were two bruises on his back
2x3 inches in size, and that there was
large rent or slit in one side of his
heart. This would certainly indicate
that something more than his own ef-
forts caused the patients death. A
msn would have hard time brulsing
himself in a dozen places and max
ing the bruises all the same size. 1t
would also seem rather difficult for
man to 30 injure himself as to burst
the walls of his heart. People who are
familiar with the case of Gus Msuer,
who was sent home with broken nose,
q broken neck and both eyes blscked,
accompanied by certificate that he
had died of apoplexY, will readily come

Thirte en- Months Instead of Twelve

How would you like to nave thirteen
months in the year? Probably most
young folks would vote for it if the extra
month could come In vacation timei But
it is not proposed to lengthen the year,
but to divide the time differently. Mr..
John 5. Brooks made the suggestion in y
letter to the NeW York Herald, and these
are the reasons he gives for wanting to
make the change, beginning Jan. /, 1900.
IF such a division we're made, the frst
twelve months would have Just twenty
eight days-or four weeks each-and the
new month twenty nine, to make three
hundred and sixty five, and thirty in leap
years. After a few years there would be
no need to refer to calendars, a. the
same day of the week would have the
same date through the year. If in the
four years to come this change could be
adopted by all countries, and Jan. LIST
were, say, Monday, every Monday would
be the LIST, 9th, 10Th and 1921; every
Tuesday the Sd, OH, 16sh, and 23d, and
30 on throughout the year. The changes
of the moon would be on about the same
dates through the year; and many calcu
~latiOns-like interest, dates of maturing
notes, Easter Sunday, and many other
important dates-would be simpliied.'
Perhaps some of the readers Of this
page can think of reasons against chang.
ing from twelve to thirteen months; and
it would be very good practice for such
as hope to become debaters some day to
study out all the points for and against,
and sea which they could argue most
snccessfully.- Christian AdVocate.
