New Experiment Deation.

In deciding to establish agricultural
experiment stations in Alaska, the
government has taken what every n
telligent person will consider an ex-
tremely wise step. So little is known
Of the vegetable products Of Alaska,
that the work would be interesting II
for no other reason than that it would
familiarize US with what grows there.
But this is very far from the real in
tent and purpose Of the undertaking.
As the state becomes settled, tho ques-
ton Of agriculture will become more
and more important, and it will be Of
great consequence to settlers and
those intending to make that country
their home to know just what they
can raise there In order to subsist. The
headquarters Of the experiment bureau
will be at Sitka. From this point the
department will work wherever there
appears to be most need for its inyes.
legations. Considerable research will
be undertaken in the line Of surveys
and geological and meteorological
science. The value Of such informa-
ton can scarcely b appreciated.

PREMATURE BURIAL.
Famous Mea who Nave Left Directions

Famous Men Whe Nave Left Directions
to Guard Against 1t.
Wllkie Collins left missive among
his papers directing that when he died
a thorough examination of his body
was to be made by skillful surgeon.
Lady Burton, wife of Captain Sir Rich
ard Burton, ordered that her body
should be pierced with needle in the
region of the heart. Edmund Yates
OF the World, Miss Ada Cavendish,
Miss Harriet Martineau, the authoress,
and Hans Anderson, the writer of so
many fairy tales, may be mentioned as
instances of men and women who have
left instructions that they should not
be inferred until everything possible
mad been done to make sure that they
were lifeless. In some cases it was the
severance of vein, in others even de-
capltation that was resolved upon.
others, with similar end in view,
have adopted different means. The
signaling invention Of Edgar Allen
Poe, who wrote this subject up in his
Enthusiastically weird fashion, is ia
miliar to all readers. Then, there is
the apparatus of a Russian inventor,
which consists in mechanism placed
in the throat Of the corpse. If con-
seriousness returned, and an effort were
made to breathe, the effort set in mo-
ton certain wires, which resulted in
bell ringing in the cemetery keep
er's lodge. In "JezebePs Daughter" the
idea is very similar, save that instead
OF a throat apparatus wires were fas-
tened to the hands Of the corpse. Last
year Sir Henry Littlejohn told his STU
dents at Edinburgh of fancy coffin,
fitted with patent springs so construct
ed that on the slightest indication of
returning life they would Immediately
open the coffin and thus save the vic
tim. This may have been a reference
to the Russian invention, seeing that
the idea is the same, though there is
a slight difference in etail.-Cham-

garden. A few feet of earth In a sunny
window or bit of garden in the back
yard will provide valuable training
with undying interest to the children.
This work will inspire a love for the
beautiful with orderly habits, which
will last through lifetime. All chill
dren are attracted by pretty and fra
grant blossoms, and they should be
taught to cultivate and give plants the
tender care they require and thus learn
some Of life's sweetest lessons. Ex-
ample is the first element to be consid-
cred in educating child's mind. Don't
try to force the child to keep a gar
den, but keep one yourself. Whatever
children see their elders do they wish
to do themselves, and if you have them
near you and let them witch you SOW
seeds and plant slips and pull up
weeds, if you explain all you are do
ing to them-never mind II 1t Is then
too difficult for them to understand
it will not be long before they initiate
you and want gardens of their own
