Oo Authenticated Case Ever Known to
 Medical Science.

The periodical agitation of thIs sub lect is to be expected. Ii appeals to the morbid imaginations of those persons who cannot find things shocking enough above ground. The highly neu- iotic individuals who lie awake at night in dread of being buried alive have now come forward once more and are de-
 manding charter for a society, the object of which is to make sure that they are properly dispatched before they are entombed. This betokens Q had state of nerves. and one that must make life little less worth living than actually buried alive. To live in con- stant apprehension of what may never occur is well recognized symptom of reura sthenfa.
 The proposed soclety-which most ap- Iropriately is to be located in New York-will demand that a series of highly sensational tests be made in the case of every corpse. These tests in dude two or more incisions in an ar tsry; exposure of the palm of the hand
 tC the flames of 9 candle; holding a mirror or crystal to the mouth for a : gn of respiration: the use of hot iron or the flesh without the production of a blister; mortuary chapels for retaining the body until signs of decomposition occur. The last test seems to exclude the necessity of all the others, and Is so simple and practically so almost uni versally observed already, that there COes not seem to be much necessity for getting a charter or a patent right for f.. We would suggest as a valuable test the use of a clinical thermometers.

He in sisted on shaking hands with every body in reach, and seemed rather proud of his position as the center of attrac- ton, throwing his magnificent chest out to it's full size and standing with folded arms, smilingly surveying his admirers.
 Thunder Bull was going through titn his aged squaw and their nephew from the Cheyenne and ArapahOc agency Tn Oklahoma to Hot Springs, Shosnone agency. where the nephew, Awauhee, will take treatment for blood trouble. Mrs. Thunder Bull was by long, odds the most picturesque of the three. standing straight as an arrow, with a gaudy blanket thrown about her shou!- ders and held tightly to the body. The noble savage family remained in the general waiting room for some time and after they had left some one sug- gested that it would be a good idea to burn a few old clothes to relieve the 1t .

CITIES AND THE CENSUS.
Thirty-Three Per Cent. of the Popula

one interesting conclusion of the cen sus takers is that about 33 per cent. of the population of the United States TOW lives in cities. Ten years ago the urban population was estimated at % per cent. of the whole. In the extreme east much more than a third of the population now live in towns: in the far south and far west much less than a third But the tendency toward cen tralization is still strong.
