WHO DIED FIRST?

lew days ago the papers reported that there is
going to be an interesting litigation in the New York
courts over the amount Of insurance on the life of
Aaron Goldsmith, taken out in favor of his wife He
and his wife, together with their children were burned
to death, on December GOTH The question is wheth-
er he his wife died first Relatives of the wife
contend that the money is to go to them, while his
brothers claim it the ground that he survived his
wife. The Roman law would decide in favor of his
relatives under the presumption that the husband
being generally stronger than woman would sur
vlve his wife. But that law does not apply in the
United States now
1t may be of some interest to know that similar
question was discussed in the rabbinical law about
eighteen hundred years ago. in the celebrated schools
OF Shama and Hlel In the Mishna B Bathra tx
., IS stated the case that and his wife having
no children perish together under the ruins of house
that tumbled over them, and her relatives maintain
Ing that he died first claim her heirs only her
dotal and paraphernal property but also the dover
(kethuba) which widow, according to Jewish law
to receive from her deceased husbands estate but
his brothers claim that he survived her. and hence
according to this same law, became the sole heir to
her property. The school of Shama held that since
there is no possible way of determining who died
hrst the moneyn dispute to be divided among the

OF the school of Hillel the property in dispute

lapsed balloon. If, however, the rub
Der sheeting is caught by the fingers
in the middle and pulled downward the
inclosed bag will Immediately swell out
to it's full size. This is because pulling
the rubber sheet makes the space with
in the lamp larger than the inclosed air
can fill, or what scientists call a partial
vacuum. The outside air rushes down
the glass tube to the supply the vacancy,
and in doing so swells the little bag out
to it's fullest extent. On the contrary,
if the rubber sheet on the bottom of
the chimney is pushed in by the finger,
the little bag folds up limp again. BY
quickly pushing the sheet in and pull
ing it out again, the little bag initiates
and folds, out and in, in perfect time to
the action of the fingers.
Now, this is precisely the action that
takes place when we breathe. The sheet
of rubber on the bottom of the chimney
corresponds to the diaphragm in the
human body. The diaphragm is the
large membrane which separates the
chest from the lower part of the body.
The little bag represents the lungs, and
the glass tube is the windpipe. 1t is a
mistaken idea with many persons that
when we breath the air rushing into the
lungs causes the lungs. and the muscles
surrounding them to expand. But a
precisely reverse action takes place.
We invariably move our muscles and
diaphragm first, thus expanding the
lungs, into which the air rushes to fill
up the space which would otherwise
become a partial vacuum. The action
is all unconscious, and it appears to be
the opposite of what it really is, but
that is how it occurs, nevertheless. Thus
a lamp chimney can be made to perform
several actions of the human body. 1t
breathes just as truly, and its lungs are
a good facsimile of our own.
The other instrument looked some
what like a band saw. 1t consisted Of
several sticks of wood arranged in the
manner of the illustration. The cross
pieces on the frame represented our
ribs and rubber bands stretched on
tacks on them acted precisely as
do our rib muscles. Over the lower
points of the frame was piece of tape,
which had been stiffened by starch.
This represented the diaphragm. By
moving the frame so as to contract the
rubber bands the upper part of the
frame (the lung cavity became smaller.
By stretching the bands it became
large. Its imitation of the human
chest movement is perfect, and the les
son it teaches should be appreciated by
every one.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

second pin, and so on to the end, plac-

Holding the box firmly in your left
hand, or better, placing it on table,
you take a long pin in your right hand
and run the point along the middle of
the pins in the box as they stand up
right. You should run the pin in your
hand according to the time the piece is
written in.
The pinnetta can be made in perfect
tune, played in perfect time and has a
clear, sweet sound like water running
over stones. If you possess any musical
talent you can make the accompaniment
of chords on another box and have a
very pretty duet.

mer? Well, that's all you need TO
make pinnetta, and I'm sure the pleas"
ure and amusement it will afford you
and your friends will amply repay you
for the trouble.
First you take the box and nail down
the lid, then cover the whole box with
bright colored paper so that it will look
pretty. Then tack the pins along the
edges of the bottom of the box. You
must be very careful in the pounding
of the pins, for this is the difficult part
of the work.
Have your sister or somebody sing
the soprano part of any song you like,
note by note. Perhaps, unless the
singer has perfectly true voice you
had better use some instrument to tune
your pinnetta by. Use new, straight
pins, and pound them in until they
sound exactly like the singing, just as
a violin is tuned with piano. The
deeper the pins are driven the higher
the sound. If a very high note is de-
sired, small black pins are best and for
bass notes large needles are best, but
common pins can be used for all. Avery
little difference in the depth of the
driving makes q great difference in the

of the Stuarts that we became interest
ed in the Jacobite movement. To us
this simply meanL a return to the prin-
ciples represented by the Stuarts, and
on account of which they were over
thrown, namely, the prerogatives of
the throne, or, as you would call it,
the divine right of kings. We uphold
the idea that there is such thing
as granting too much liberty to the
common people. The commons of Eng
land are to-day the real rulers of the
Countrywide throne but a shadow.
We also believe that the time is COM
ing in the future when there must of
necessity be a fixed. visible head in
these United States-a something or
some one in whom the idea of country
or the nation can be incarnated and
idealized, which to-day we vainly
strive to keep alive under the name OF
the flag or the stars and stripes.
In other words, we believe in con-
stitutioHal monarchy for this country,
not so constitutional, however, as to de-
prive the monarch of all power of what
ever nature. Society must be made over
and renovated. There must ne fixed
grades and classes, and the line must
be drawn somewhere"
The most curious thing regarding
the man who comes out so boldly with
these amazing sentiments is the fact
that his family have been for more
than five generations citizens of New
England. In fact, with the exception
of Mr.. Roadway. the members of the So
ciety in Boston come from old New
England ancestry.-Boston Cor. N. Y.
