To Prevent Premature Burial.

A bill is pending before the New
York Legislature which has as its OBJ
ject the prevention Of premature burial
According 10 the New York Herald,
the proposed legislation il based pri-
marily upon laws that were enforced by
different German provinces before the
Empire, and which are still carried out
in Bavaria and Saxony. There is no
additional expense to people who are
obliged to dispose of their dead. the
cost Of precautionary measures suggest
ed are paid by the municipality, aud
this has been reduced to a minimum
in Germany.
The laws there are very simple, and
the liehenfrauen-wOmen who take
care Of the dead, corresponding to lay
ersout' in England-sre instructed as
distinctly what they may do as what
they may not do. Nothing is left to
their discretion. A staff of physicians
are at their call. In many towns these
women assume the duties left to the
coroner in this country. They are
trained to the work, aud are appointed
by the municipality on civil service
basis.
There is deadhOuse in every eeme-
terry. The law specifies how and where
they shall be built. The rooms for the
reception of the dead are ten feet long,
six feet wide and ten feet high. Even
the temperature of the room Is fixed
By law. Each room has door leading
into a common hall, or waiting room.
The door is unlocked at all times, and
relatives or friends of the deceased are
practically unrestricted, except in cases
of infectious diseases, in their OppOr-
tunity to visit and inspect the bodies
Of their dead.
Apartments are provided in the
building for the lichenfrauen, and it is
their duty to inspect each body in their
charge at least three times every day
for signs of returning life. Electrical
connections are made with each body,
50 that at the slightest movement an
alarm is given to the watchers in charge.
Many persons have been saved from
burial alive by these establishments in
Germany.

Elixir of Life

If you would avoid the rapid down

who has evidently given it trial.
Ga,her about you all the young peO-
pie that you can
Gain their love by interesting your
self in their plans and pleasures
Invite little parties of them 70 spend
the evenings with you or to join you in
little excursions.
Surround yourself by youth aud de-
vote yourself to making young people
happy.
Don't make the mistake of initiating
youthful ways, however, or the whole
effect viii be spoiled.
Your heart may be as young as a
girls, bat your manner must have the
dignity Of your years OF you viii appear
older by trying to appear girlish-
II is a noticeable fact that some peo-
pie get old very quickly, and others
very sIowly-take their time about il,
50 to speak.
II is very exasperating. too, when
you are ageing at the rate Of year to a
month, to see some one else going along
leisurely, seemingly as young in spirits
with a face eorrespondingiy young
and fresh-looking-as they were ten,
twenty OF even thirty years ago.
Notice how these youthful-looking
middle-aged people manage and how
they spend the greater part Of their
time, and in almost every case ii win

home and their social life brings them
into constant contact with young peo-
pie and their interests

Window Plants .

Window plants are a great solaee
when snow is on the ground or wind
and rain beat against the panes. They
require regular but not excessive care.
In ordinary soil, placed in = sunny
window and watered once day nearly
all semi tropical plants will thrive.
Orange and 'emon trees raised from
the seed do finely, but they will not
bear flowers and fruit until after they
are grated.
The rubber tree (Ficas Indica) is 3
household standby, living and growing
for years in ordinary living rooms.
There is a tradition that the leaves
should be washed frequently, but that
this is not essential may be seen IN
store windows, where there are rubber
plants with leaves encrusted with the
dust Of ages
Geraniums and fuchsias give the best
results In Towering in living-rOom
windows. One variety Of fuehsia, the
Martha Washington, does not bloom
in winter. Ardina grows readily,
though indoors the little red fruit is
apt to drop of.
One can raise a great number Of
plants in windows to Oil the garden
next summer, both from cuttings and
seedlings For the former snip Off lit
tie vigorous ends Of the stems aud stick
them in a pot or pan of sand. Seeds
should be planted in q shallow pan or
pot and covered with a pane OF glass.
Being watered and set in the sunshine,
the seedlings viii soon appear and be
ready for transplanting into small
flower pots in about six weeks.
Palms and ferns, if gradually accus-
toned to a cold room, will flourish
finely with the thermometer as low as
90 or IS, provided they are well water
ed and have light The young fern is
a perfect model of the Episcopal
erozier.
The fern or braeken was credited
with magical properties in ancient
days The man who wore it about
him was thought to escape witehcraft
and spells.
The cowslip (Primula officianalisl }
can drive away melancholy and giveth
man good manners. "WheD a man
lacks good Manners writes st Hide
garde, ''all the devils of the air gather
about him"
THE iris or lily is cure for leprOsy,"
was medieval belief, and to this day
country people of Pennsylvania use
the bruised root of the lily as an exter-
nal application for the cure Of cuts,
bruises and Inflammation.
One hundred and thirty different
plants are mentioned in the Bible.
The palm is the emblem of righteous
ness and the pumpkin signifies pride.
The pumpkin wss worshiped Of old as
a divinity in SieyOri-
The cyclamen is symbolic Of sin,
having been used in the middle ages
for love philters-
Two odd things about some cherish
ed modern flowers is that the lily Of
the field referred to by solomon and
the lilies Of the valley were really
anemones.
In spite Of the fact that the lily did
not grow in Palestine, it has been the
symbolic flower Of the church since
the days of Origen, and the virtues and
meanings which cluster around the lily
are innumerahle.

HELP

Take heart, my friend, sell-fed man

Good Fortune waits for you somewhere,
Go seek her with a hopeful mien;
Somewhere youlI ind the weather fair.
There al the pastures viii be green
The h5ggard man looked up through tears,
And, holding out hand. replied;
~The days have dragged ON into years
Since hope within my bosom died,
But you have famed the embers there;
You who are favored among men
Say Fortune waits for me somewhere
III struggle on and seek again.
aThe words that leave your lips are sweet
But-please--a little aid-you see
That there are bruises on my feet.
And sallow Hunger moezs at me"
The man whose cheeks were full and red
Had nothing more he cared 20 say;
He merely frowned and shook his head,
And. turning. hurried on his way.

As I went aft the men asked me
what we were hauling off for. They
were in distinctly different humor
from that which prevailed on the
bridge. They believed that they had
done well, and that the other ships
had done likewise. The Olympia
eheered the Baltimore and the Baiti-
more returned the cheers with interest
The gun captains were not at all dis
satisfied with the results Of their work.
Whether they had a better knowledge
Of the accuracy oftheir aim than We
had on the bridge, or whether they
took it for granted that the enemy
must have suffered severely after 50
much lighting, I do not know at
any rate, they were eager to 90 on
with the battle, and were confident Of
victory. told one Of them that We
were merely hauling of for breakfast,
which statement elected the appeal tc

that il was not matter of so such i'm

the breakfast episode went to the world
as a plausible excuse for what seemed
like an extraordinary strategic ma

any other event during the battle.

would be pity to spoil 50 good story

WHY DEWEY STOPPED FIGHT
ING.
Not for Breakfast. But Because AM
munition Was Short

"What was the most interesting and
important OF all The events that oc-
cured during the battle Of Manila
Bay?
This question has been put to me so
often since my return from the Philip
pines that am glad to be at liberty
now that peace is assured-to answer
it without risk Of giving aid and COM
fort to the enemy.
1t has always been assumed in the
United States that, from start b finish,
there was nothing felt on our side ex-
eept a buoyant certainty of victory.
II will do no harm now to tell the real
facts.
II will be remembered that the bat
tie began at minutes past o'clock on
the morning Of May /; that Commo-
dore (n0w Rear Admiral) Dewey led
the line of American warships into
action in his flagship Olympia; that,
after a fierce fight, lasting two hours
and half, the attacking feet retired
from the battle into the centre Of Ma
Mia Bay, and did not renew the attack
until nearly four hours later.
When we hauled off from the fight
ing line, at 7:S6 o'clock, the situation
had become apparently serious for
Commodore Dewey. We had been
fighting determined and courageous
enemy for more than two hours with
out having noticeably diminished the
volume Of his fire. 1t is true, at least
three of his ships had broken into
flames, but so had one Of ours-the
Boston. These fires had all been
put out without apparent injury to the
ships Generally speaking, nothing Of
great importance had occurred to show
that We had seriously injured any
Spanish vessel. They were all steam
ing about in the blight back Of Sangley
Point or in Bakor bay as actively as
when we first sighted them in the ear.
ly dawn. So far, therefore, we could
see nothing indicating that the enemy
was less able to defend his position
than he had been at the beginning.
