thing can be more certain than
that large numbers Of persons hav
been buried alive-and that many
after having been pronounced dead
have shown signs OF life In time tC
save themselves from such burial
and have declared that while una
bic to move they we're fully con
scious Of what wss said and done
about them. My own father bare
ly escaped such burial, being de-
clared by his physician dead.
| am glad to see that bill is be.
fore the Massachusetts Legislature
which, describing the various tests
OF death, declares that in cases of
supposed death these tests shall be
made by two competent physicans
at the expense of the cities or
towns, and that in every city or
town shall be provided rooms and
suitable apparatus for carrying out
these tests.
This is all good so far as it goes.
But it is vouched for by many en-
inent physicians that in ordinary
cases there is no absolute certainty
of death until the beginning of de-
cay.
Where are in large cities thou
sands of persons living in hotels
and boarding houses where, when
ever death is declared. every effort
will be made to send the body of
the supposed deceased, at the ear
liest possible moment, to the un-
dertaker, the crematory or the
grave. In not one case in a hun
dred will the body be permitted to
remain in the hotel or boarding
house until the beginning of de-
cay.
Now what is the remedy? Il
have seen in Europe "mortuary"
buildings to which the bodies of
the supposed dead are taken and
cared for under the best medical
inspection until death ls absolutely
certain.
Now, If such buildings could be
established here, l should be glad |
to pay 500 for myself and each of
my friends to be insured that my
own body and theirs shall be thus
carefully cared for after supposed |
death, and also agree to pay anoth-
ar hundred or more in case that
after being carried to the mortuary
consciousness shall return, and |
here thousands of people who !
would be glad to do the same.

HIS SORROW.

w hen young man, rising to
his fame as an author, Washington
Irving fell in love with Mathilda
Hoffman. To his eye she was such
an image of delicacy and purity
that his love for her grew into ab
idolatry. In the midst of his
dreams of future happiness there
came an overwhelming blow from
which he never fully recovered.
Msthilda WAS taken sick with a
cold; it rapidly turned into con-
sumption, and it was his agony to
see her fade away in single win
ter, but in his sight beautiful and
more beautiful to the last.
When he died he had reached
his three score and ten, and his
celibacy was still unbroken. There
was then found a little repository
Of which he had always kept the
key. 1t was opened, and there
lay a faded memorandum which
told the story of his sorrow, a min
iature, a braid Of fair hair, and a
slip of paper on which he had writ
ten Mathilda Hoffman.

CRUELTY.

1t is popular error to suppose
that binding the feet of the women
is mark Of rank in Chira. On
the contrary, it is practiced BY
high and low, and has nothing to
recommend it but the dictates of a
senseless fashion:
The method of binding and the
period of beginning naturally diff
fer somewhat over the whole ex-
tent of this vast empire. In the
west, binding seems generally to
begin at six years old. In the
east, it Is generally from five to
seven; or at the latest at eight
years Of age. In the east of China
the bandage is said to be of strong
white cotton cloth, two yards long
and about three inches wide. The
cloth Is drawn as tightly as child
can bear, leaving the great toe free
but binding all the other toes un-
der the sole of the foot, so as to re-
duce the width as much as possi-
bic, aud eventually make the toes
OF the left foot peep out at the
right side, and the toes of the right
foot out the left side of the foot, in
both cases coming flom underneath
the sole. Each succeeding day the
bandage Is tightened both morning
and night; and if the bones are re-
tractory and spring back into their
places on the removal of the band
age, sometimes blow is given
with heavy wooden mallet used
IN beating clothes; and, possibly it
Is, on the whole, kinder thus to
hasten operations. Directly after
the little girl is made to
walk up and down on her poor
aching feet, for fear modification
should at once set in. But all this
Is only during the first year. 1t is
the next two years that is the ter
tlOle time for the little girls of
CHINA tor then the foot is no long
er being narrowed, but shortened.
by so winding the bandages as to
dra" the Heshy part Of the foot
and the heel close together till it is
possible to hide d half-crown piece
between them. Il is, indeed. not
Ill tins can be done that foot Is
considered sound.

IN EARLY ~ Ys.

Pioneer |. V. Mossman, in th
Oregon Native Son, tells the tol
lowing Interesting story:
In October, 1861, G. II. Miller
now Joaquin M3ier, met me d
Walla WaiIa VIII q ielie, Of IN
PRODUCTION from lis u.aie, Col. "
W. Chapman. Miller wanted t.
join me III the express business; he
had oIe little pony aud s. in cash
but he could ride well, aud was 4
hustler.
| had then Is head OF good sad
die horses, SO | gave him an inter
eot in the business. Soon after
that the Salmon river mines were
discovered and | put Miller on the
route from Lewiston to Florence,
while l rode between Waila Wslla
and Orc Flno.
The diggings at Florence proved
to be very rich. There Was a big
rush to them, and by December
there were many hundreds of men
there at work, and gold dust was
plentiful.
About Dec. 10 / went to Flor
ence with 80 copies of the Sscra-
mento Union and cold them all at
$3.50 each. kept ny horse un-
der shed two nights and one day
and fed him 30 pounds of oats,
and my stable bill was only $50
Many men were frozen to death
that winter. Bewlldered in snow
storm, they would lose the trail,
and then founder about in the
binding snow and die.
At WaIla Walla that winter was
veIy severe and much suffering,
aud many cattle were frozen to
death. On Dry creek the cattle
were piled up in the willows, where
they had crowded to get water, by
the hundreds.
Wood was SO scarce that the
French settlers hauled their tails
IN from their ranches and sold
them for $50 load and cut new
rails in the spring to replace the
old ones. Flour was sold for $50 |
per 100 pounds; apples 81 each;
board and lodging was from SIS to
$40 a week.
Finally Miller wanted to quit
the express business, so | paid him
5000 over and above his profits,
and presented him with fine
horse, saddled and bridled He
went to Portland and from there to
Port Oxford, where ne was married |
TO Minnie Myrtle Dyer.
! then took IN at parin rs, Put
