Emperor William has done good
deal Of talking in his time and has said
many things that have been considered
foolish and that have brought him
much criticism and censure, Now he
does not propose to cesse talking but he
does propose that his talking shall not
be reported In the papers and has given
orders to that effect. If he cannot re-
sist the temptation to talk, the next
very best thing he can do is to resist
the temptation to have his talk pub
lished, Undoubtedly there is too much
talk In the world and anything that
tends TO prevent its repetition is to be
encouraged and commended,

In Alabama 1t is proposed to adopt

treat them as citizens and to respect
their rights as such Is the proper way
to do. The Alabama proposition is

south Sea superstitions.

In the south sea islands the old gods
are still very close to present life,
despite the vigorous profession of the
newer faith which the missionaries
have introduced. On village green's the
stone churches rise into prominence.
The people are unremitting in their
attendance upon the services, wearing
clean white shirts and gaudy bonnets,
according to the sex of the Worship
ers, and carrying their Bibles and
hymnbooks wrapped in spotless hand
kerchiefs. But in the jungles and on
the waters no Samoan quite forgets
his ancestral gods, the powers of ma
ture. and in the domain of the hunter
and the fisher these old gods reign
supreme
MoraliStS may not assume to blame
them as untutored savages practicing
absurd superstitiOns of an inferior race
for if any moralist will only go a-fish-
ing with people of the infinitely su-
perior Caucasian race he cannot avoid
seeing few practices which may not
be superstitions, but which are certain
ly believed necessary to luck. What
the boy does to the worm after it is on

stream is proof that there is kinship

Instant Death,

"The instant of DEATH" says The In
dian Lancet. is q vague and indefinite
expression when viewed from the point
OF physiology. An animal or plant
cannot be considered dead until it has
reached that period in dsintegration
where it is impossible to revive life
Some Psychologists still further restrict
the definition to that point in decay
where every cell in the body of an ami
NAL or plant has ceased to contain or
consist Of living protoplasm-in other
words, each cell must have lost be
yond recall its life powers.
Probably one of the most striking ex-
amples of instantaneous death was
that of the person who accidentally fell
into large vat of boiling caustic pot
ash, which at once consumed the entire
body, leaving only the metallic plates
from the heels Of his shoes and a few
buttons from the clothing as remains.
Death from electric shocks also border
on the instantaneous process. 1t has
been found that living cells taken from
the body can be preserved in a normal
state for long time and then have life
processes revived if they are properly
treated.
