CERTAINTY OF DEATH.
An OcuIist Says That by the Veins of
the Eyes One May Know.

An Oculfst Says That by the Veins of
the Eyes One May Know.
Whether a man be really dead or not
may be read in the veins of the eye.
This important discovery has been
made by DR.. Chalmers Prentice, an emf
nent Chicago oculist. He says that he
ance of veins and arteries in the human
eye whether there be any spark of life
left where death has been pronounced
Or, rather, his discovery is of such a
nature that death will never be pro-
nounced unless the examination of the
eye veins show it is absolutely certain.
There has always been a widespread,
haunting fear among people of being
buried alive, and DIR. Prentice's discov-
cry, if it be all he claims for it, will re-
move this fear.
His experiments along this line be-
gan some 90 years ago. He had OBJ
served that in life the veins and ar
teries of the retina have distinct diff
ferences in color. The veins contain a
dark, blackish blood, while the arteries
contain bright crimson. At the back
part of the eyeball these two shades of
blood may be seen under the light of
The ophthalmoscope dividing the re-
tina. Even in the case of the blind this
distinction in shade may be seen, I'M
less, of course, an Opaque film has
formed over the injured eyes, or the
eyes have been entirely destroyed.
In death, however, DIR. Prentice has
found that the shade distinction entire
ly disappears. The blood in both
arteries and veins is transformed into
pinkish color of uniform shade.
An exhaustive examination has been
made and DR.. Prentice has never found
his simple test to fall. In case of
suspended animation, where others had
pronounced death, he observed the
shade distinction and saved the man
from being buried alive.-St. Louis Re
public.

THE HAWAIIAN QUESTION.
Senate Foreign Affairs Committee
Maps Out Plan.

Washington, March THE senate
committee on foreign relations held a
two hours sitting Saturday in an effort
to decide upon what course to pursue
with reference to the Hawaiian annexa-
tion treaty. The committee had under
consideration the ACCESSIBILITY of taking
up the question of annexation in the
way of legislation rather than by the
means of ratifying that treaty and
they had decided not to abandon the
treaty, at least Immediately, but to
press it's consideration upon the sem
ate at the first opportunity. The pres
emit intention of the committee is to
hold the treaty in executive session I'M
til test vote can be secured, and it is
still understood that the Bacon amend
ment will be used for this purpose. If
the result of this vote indicates that a
vote upon the treaty itself would re-
suit in it's defeat the friends of annexa-
ton will then resort to the expedient of
n joint resolution and will ask the SEN
ate to take up the question in this shape
in open session with the view of secur-
ing the concurrence of the house.

A WORD OF ADVICE
To Those Coming to Alaska or the
klondike Gold Fields.

One thing should be impressed upon
every miner, prospector or trader COM
ing to Alaska, to the Klondike, or the
Yukon country, and that is the neces-
sity for providing an adequate and
proper food supply. Whether procured
in the States, in the Dominion, or at
the supply stores here or further on,
this must be his primary concern.
Upon the manner in which the miner
has observed or neglected this precau-
zion more than upon any other one
thing will his success or failure depend.
These supplies must be healthful and
should be concentrated, but the most
careful attention in the selection of
foods that will keep unimpaired in
definitely under all the conditions
which they will have to encounter is
raised with baking powder must be re-
lied upon for the chief part of every
meal, imagine the helplessness of a
miner with can of spoiled baking
powder. Buy only the very best flour;
it is the cheapest in the end. Expert
ence has shown the Royal Baking Pow
der to be the most reliable and the
trading companies now uniformly sup
ply this brand, as others will not keep
in this climate. BE sure that the bacon
is sweet, sound and thoroughly cured.
These are the absolute necessities upon
which all must place n chief reliance,
and can under no circumstances be
neglected. They may, of course, be
supplemented by as many comforts or
delicacies as the prospector may be able
to pack or desire to pay for.-Alaska

He Had Flung Up.

The Superior court was in session and
the little mountain town was crowded
with people. Along about the middle
of the day when the judge was worried
with tedious trial, Bill Williams, of
the Lick Creek settlement, began gal
Looping up and down the streets on his
little red mule, firing off his pistol,
whooping like Sioux, and otherwise
dispensing the energy which liberal
supply of corn liquor had inspired.
"Mr. Bailiff," commanded the judge,
sternly, Ego out and arrest that man
and bring him into court"
The bailiff went timidly out of the
courtroom and the judge attempted to
proceed with business. But Williams
racket outside did not cease. 1t grew
worse and the judge looked over the
room for some one else to send out, and
observed the bailiff sitting complacent-
ly on one of the back seats.
''Look here, Mr.. Bailiff, why did you
mot arrest that disorderly man? Are
you not an officer of the court?"
"Y-y-es," replied the bailiff, quaking
with fear, II wuz, but I've done flung
up."-Atlanta Journal.

A PRETTY INCIDENT.
The Kindness of n Spanish Lady to
Lone Soldier Boy.

The Kindness of n Spanish Lady to
Lone Soldier Boy.
A recent traveller in Spain describes
q touching scene witnessed at the depar-
ture of regiment for Cuba. All day
long there had been heard the meas
ured tread of soldiers marching through
the street; all day long gayly bedecked
boats had been passing to and from the
vessel that was to take them to Havana.
The twilight began to deepen when the
correspondent saw a startling and
pretty sight"-the impetuous action of
q portly, good-looking and well-dressed
lady, who noticed a young soldier walk
ing dejectedly along down the pier in
his travelling gray, with knapsack
strapped over his shoulders. All the
rest of the men had friends, their
novias, mothers, relatives, and made
the usual gallant effort to look elated
and full of hope. This lad had no one.
and it might be OWNED that he was car
rying a desolate heart over the seas.
The handsome woman burst from her
and said: "My son has already gone to
Cuba. He is in the regiment of Andalu-
STA, and sailed two months ago. You
may meet him, Pope g.; take this kiss
to him." She leaned and kissed his
cheek"
An English boy would have shown
awkwarness, but these graceful
southerners are never at loss for a
pretty gesture and prettier word.
The boy blushed with pleasure, and still
holding the lady's hand, said with quite
natural gallantry, without smirk or
silly smile: "And may l not take one
for myself as well, senora?" The lady
Redeemed, laughed a little nervously,
and bent and kissed him again to the
frantic applause of soldiers and civil
ians, while the boy walked on, braced
and happy.-Blackwood's Magazine.

trict says:
"On August 23d we had the pleasure of
visiting the model seven-acre garden ut Ed
"monton owned and operated by Donald
Ross, a typical Scotchman, and as whole.
.souled, good-natured old gentleman as you
often meet. He gave the Yankees each a
hearty handshake as we were introduced
in succession by the Canadian Government
Agent, who was our guide and pilot while
at Edmonton, and to whom we are in
"debted for many courtesies conferred. Mr..
Ross informed us that he cleared from $500
ito 1000 annually from the sale of roots,
vegetables, flowers and plants. We here
state that we never before saw such a
growth of vegetables at that season of the
year. He said that he raised $50 bushels of
onions to the acre. Beets were growing as
head, and cabbages as large as patent
pail Following are the prices that Mr..
Ross gave us as receiving for his produce:
"Beets 80 cents per bushel carrots 40 cents,
onions SIPS; turnips So, cabbage cents
each, green corn % cents per dozen,
tomatoes 81 so per bushel, potatoes 30 to 30
cents caulifiower $l.00 per dozen, cucum.
"bers 10 cents per dozen, Strawberries %
cents per box, squash cents per pound,
and other produce in proportion. He kept
"a dollhouse l2xlS0 feet heated by furnace

attended this garden, except at time OF
gathering the crop"

The CORONATION CHAIR.
Claimed as the Most Precious Reifo
I'm All England.

The most precious relic in all Eng
land and to the English in all Europe is
an old Gothic chair which stands in the
chapel of ST. Edward in Westminster
abbey beside the sword and shield of
Edward Ill. 1t is made of black oak
in the Gothic style, and the back is COW
cred with carved inscriptions, includ-
ing the initials of many famous men.
The feet are four lions, that look like
poodle dogs with their tails curled up
over their backs. The seat is large
stone about 80 inches long by IS inches
wide and IL inches thick, and all the
sovereigns of England for the last 500
years have sat upon it when they were
crowned. The chair is known as the
coronation chair, and the stone Is
claimed to be the same which Jacob,
the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham,
used as pillow when he lay down to
sleep in the starlit plains of Judah that
memorable night as he was on his way
from Beersheba to Haran in search of
wife. 1t was then he had his dream,
and saw angels and archangels ascend
ing and descending a ladder that
reached to Heaven, and Jehovah came
to him and made the great promise
which Is being fulfilled to the Jews this
very day. And Jacob took the stone
and set it up for pillow and poured oil
upon it, and vowed vow and called the
name of the place Bethel.
The kings of Israel We're crowned
upon this stone from the time that
they ruled nation-David and Saul
and Solomon and all the rest.
The story goes that $50 years before
Christ, at the time of the Babylonian
captivity, Circa, the daughter of Zede-
diah, the last king of Judea, arrived in
Ireland, and was married at Tara 70
Heremon, a prince of the Tuatha de
Danan-which is said to be the Celtic
name of the tribe of Dan. The tradi-
lions relate that this princess went
originally to Egypt in charge of the
prophet jeremiah, her guardian, and
the Palace Taphanes, in which they re-
sided there, was discovered in 1856 by
DR.. Petrie, the archaeologist. After
some years they went hence to Ireland,
and from Circa and Heremon Queen
Victoria traces her descent through
James l., who placed the lion of the
tribe of Judea upon the British stand
ard.
jeremiah is said to have concealed
this sacred stone at the time of the
destruction of Jerusalem and the cap
tivity of the Jews, and to have brought
it. "the stone of the testimony" Bethel,
the only witness of the compact be-
tween Jehovah and Israel, to Ireland,
where it was known as the liza phail
(stone wonderfully. 1t was carried to
Scotland by Fergus L., and thence to
London in the year 1900, and has been
used at the coronation of every king
and queen of England from Edward 1.
down to Victoria. 1t is thus the most
priceless historical object in the Brit
ish empire, as it was the Palladium of
Israel. 1t is q curious fact that the
affairs of Ireland were called Bothe1,
houses of God.
In the same chapel surrounding the
coronation chair in Westminster abbey
are the graves of six kings, five queens,
four princesses, a duke and a bishop.
