TO PREVENT BURIAL ALIVE.

box, which is placed on the top Of
the grave and is connected with the
coffin by hollow, removable tube.
Inside this tube is spring which at
one end is connected with the iron
box and to the other end, inside the
coffin, is affixed glass ball so that
it Just touches the chest. The faint
est movement of this ball, as re-
suit of the slightest movement of the
body, or even the simple motion OF
breathing, sutfices to cause the lid
of the iron box to spring open and
a flag to rise perpendicularly about
four feet above the ground, as is
shown in the illustration.
At the same time a strong alarm
bell is rung and an electric lamp is
lighted, and these signals arc intend
ed to attract attention both day and
night. By the opening OF the box
lid the tube admits into the coffin
light from the lamp, sufficient air for
breathing, and also serves as speak
ing tube. As the box is Theoretically
closed it allows no gas to escape, and
as it cannot be interfered with from
the outside, but opened only by pres
sure from within the coffin, it re-
quires only from II to 21 days to
make it an absolute remedy In
cases of premature burial.

AMER1CANIZING ENGLAND.
Different Ways In Which Yankees
Are Making Themselves known
in London.

1t is not only in the real of the
shopkeeper that Americans have be-
come popular, says the earl of Mayo
in an article in the Forum on the
Americanization Of England. They
have been taken up with equal or
even greater enthusiasm by the high
est ranks of society. There is no
doubt that their popularity has been
due in great measure to the influence
of those American women who have
married into the ranks of the clever,
titled or wealthy, who form the most
important elements of British high
society. The grace, the brightness
and the adaptability of these women
have made them immensely popular,
and the British, having found them
fair types of their countrywomen
and countrymen, have extended an
equally cordial welcome to the lat
ter. At every house party held in
England last summer, at every Lon
don dinner and on every yachting ex-
petition Americans were much in evi
dence.
Another effect of American exam
pie is to be found in the growing
popularity of hotel and restaurant
life abroad. Until the American Gin
vasion" it was almost an unheard-of
thing for a family to take dinner in
public restaurant when their own
house was availa BILE for the purpose;
and as for entertaining friends in
such place, that was looked upon as
altogether too outre to be attempt
ed. Now, however, all this is
changed, and it is not unusual for a
London host and hostess to call upon
the resources of fashionable hotel
or restaurant in giving entertain
ments beyond the limits of ordinary
house accommodation. A significant
sign of the trend in this direction
is to be found in the rapid multiple
cation of fine hotels that is going on
in London at the present time.
These hotels themselves, by the way,
are becoming rapidly Americanized.
American methods of organiza ton
and management. American dishes
and American drinks are coming
more and more into vogue; and it is
easy enough to find half dozen ho-
tells in London which are in all es-
sential respects like those of New
York.

GATE FOR THE BARN.
Where Some Unruly Animals Have to

Very Useful.

In managing stock to the best ad-
vantage in stables where few unruly
animals must be managed few easily
constructed conveniences can be
placed here and there that will great
ly lessen the labor of tying up the
stock, says an Ohio Farmer CORE
spondent. In our barn we have con-
structed a few gates, as shown in the
accompanying illustration. The cross
pieces in the gate are made of pine,
being three inches in width and one
inch in thickness. Two pieces are re-
quired both at the top and bottom
of the gate. 1t is very essential that
the crosspieces be of good timber and
quite free from knots, for the strength
of the gate greatly depends upon this
part of the construction. The vertical
pieces are made of oak, being two
inches in width and one inch in thick

HOW 1cEBERGs FORM.
- They Move South, Gradually
Changing Shape.

To bring the formation of those
wonderful natural creations, icebergs,
within the general understanding,
many efforts have been made by
writers. One of the latter, who was one
of the expedition that went north I'M
der the command of Lieut.. r. E. Peary
in 1896 and 1897, says that the float
ing masses of ice with their pinnacled
tops that we used to see in geogra-
phies were missing, though here and
there slender spire would rise from
well-angled and curious shaped masses.
In all cases the bergs were in
way solid-with slanting sides, show
ing cairns here and there, and having
fiat tops, of all sizes and heights. The
glaciers from which the bergs break
off crop out all along the Greenland
coast, their source being the Great
Ice Cap, which covers the interior OF
Greenland. The constantly accumu-
lating snow, compressed by wind force,
is forced outward into the waters OF
Baffin bay. David strait and Smith
sound, until the great mass breaks OF
and floats away as an iceberg.
The ice of the berg looks like great
masses of chalk or loaf sugar, gar
nished or glittering like powdered
glass. At times it is pure white, at
others it is greenish. This greenish
tone is caused by reflection Of light
upon masses of ice under water thrown
back upon the exposed surface. The
oh CO q
is beautiful blue, traceable to the
reflection from the sky.
The writer continues: 'Let us look
at that great glacier with irregular
front as high as six-story house, with
length of mile and half. 1t moves
at the rate of II inches per day during
the summer. Floating pieces OF ice,
called floebergs and icepans, with
seal lying asleep on them, float by.
Arctic birds, the putin, elder duck,
mollemokes and kittiwakes, fly past;
a charming tranquility rests over all,
and we feel at peace with the world.
A great big boom is heard, like the re-
port of big gun, echoed and re-
echoed till it dies away.
"We look toward the glacier. A
mass of ice, large as eight city houses,
is slowly detaching and sliding away.
misunderstanding very slowly, pushing
in front of it high wall. AS we look
the mass turns over, and the portion
rises; the water is thrown off in a
great cataract. The mass sinks out of
sight; now it rises again. 1t rocks
from side to side, sinks again nearly
out of sight, rises again, turns little,
and thus for 20 minutes it keeps NOV
ing. The waves have reached our ship
and we rock, heave and dip under their
influence. At last the berg has set
tied quietly and is floating with the
tide. A beautiful blue cave is visible,
a great turret at one end, a sloping
mass rising toward the opposite. This
berg will float southwark, gradually
melting, changing its form, become
smaller, and finally mingling with the
waters of the Atlantic.-Cassell's Mag

SAFE HEART STIMULANT.
Cold Applications, According to Med'
ical Authorities, Are Far Supe.
riOr to Alcohol.

There is deep-seated belief, amount
ing almost to superstition. that alco-
hol is a very important heart stimu-
liant. especially when this organ is
weak. Winternitz, the great author
ity on hydrotherapy in Germany, has
often told us of the very great value of
cold as heart stimulant or tonic, and
that it is far superior to alcohol in
this respect. DR.. Kellogg gives the
method of application as follows:
"The application consists of COM
press applied to the portion of the
chest wall over the heart. This COM
prises the space bounded by the Sec
ond rib above, the right border of the
sternum. line falling one-half inch
to the right of the nipple, and the sixth
rib below. The compress should be
large enough to cover this space, and
to extend at least two inches outside
of it. Ordinarily the best effects are
produced by employing water at a
temperature of about GO degrees. The
compress should be wrung moderately
ary. and should be very lightly covered.
1t is desirable that cooling by slow
evaporation should be encouraged, and
be continued for some time"
DR.. Kellogg continues: ''In Germany
and France it is the custom to admin
lister alcohol to the patient just before
putting him in a cold bath. Some prac.
titioners as Winternitz, administ err but
very small amount, a single mouth
full of wine for instance; while others
give brandy in considerable quantities.
A few American practitioners employ
brandy freely with the cold bath. The
unwisdom of this practice will be APP
parent on due consideration of the fol-
lowing facts:
Il. One purpose in administering the
cold bath is to secure true stimulant
or tonic effct by arousing the vital en-
ergies, through excita ton of the nerve
ccnters. Alcohol was once supposed to
be capable of effscting this, and was
ulsed for this purpose in typhoid fever
and various other morbid conditions
accompanied by depression of the vital
forces. At the present time, however,
it is we'll known, and with practical
unanimity. admitted. that alcohol is
neither a tonic nor stimulant, but
narcotic; that it depresses and does
not excite: that it lessons. and does
not increase. the activity of the nerve
centers; and that this is true of small
as well as large doses, as ha S been shown
bv the researches of careful investi-
gators"-Health.

TO MAKE GOOD BUTTER.
Hut FOamy Cream II Not Needed
In the Chufn.

Ihave no trouble with foamy cream,
Il the right temperature is obtained
before churning and the cream has
thickened. find that cold cream that
has not thickened becomes foamy
while churning; and to bring it to the
right temperature I turn into the
cream gradually as churn warm wa
ter, but never scalding water, until
the foam subsidies; then, if the but
ter does not come after churning 20
minutes, I add more water with just
the chill taken off SO as to gather
the butter. Some say warm the cream
before churning to GO or 20 degrees;
others say to 70. My thermometer for
testing cream is, first. the tip of the
finger, then the tip of the tongue, with
a spoonful dipped from the cream
after stirring we'll. The finger, some
times being cold, says the cream is
warm, while the tongue, which is al
ways warm, says the cream is cool.
After the cream is mildly soured
warm it SO that it is several degrees
cooler than blood heat, then let it
stand in warm room to thicken in
cold weather. Cream will soon thicken
in most cellars in warm weather, but
if it does not, then set it in the warm
air to thicken and return it to the eel
lar to cool before churning. I do not
warm the cream a after it has thickened,
as it is just right to churn, but if too
cool l add little warm water as
needed.
The less churning one can give cream
and obtain all the butter fat and the
harder the butter is when it comes the
better. In March give my cream just
ten minutes churning, and the butter
is hard and of good flavor, and no
cream is left in the buttermilk. The
oftener one churns the better flavor
the butter has. Cream that is mildly
time and churned each day gives
m-favorea butter and is fine, and
the buyer tests no further than to
smell it.; but there must be no taints
to spoil the cream flavor. I also find
that sour cream that has not thick.
cHcu uoCS NV give w al iIS ouIeSA =" y,
and continued churning does not bring
it forth, but if it stands and thickens
then the butter will come.
Cream should stand "a hours to
ripen, become mildly sour and thicken.
If it does not thicken in that time I
then set it where it is warm and give
it time. The cream should not get
too warm, as the butter will come soft
and Of lighter color than when
churned cool, and will take on the
sour milk flavor instead of the cream
flavor. Cream is better and gives bet
ter flavor if you keep it sweet until
enough cream is saved for churn-
ing. When the cream is sour from
the start it gets too sour and the good
flavor is not there.-Emma L. Hill, in
n. Y. Tribune-Farmer. ....

the cows and wash their udders with
soap and clean water, and wipe them
with clean towel; to require the milk
ers to wash their hands and heads, to
brush and trim their nails, to wear
clean clothes, to put on white over
alls and caps at the time of milking.
to construct the floor of milking yard
and shed of asphalt, and to wash and
sweep it after each milking, and to
frequently tar and limewash both it
and the limework of the shed. All
these things are undoubtedly impor-
tant steps, and If they could be car
ried into practice would result in great
improvement in dairy work. But how
far are they practicable? Farmers
who have heard these recommends
tions have expressed the opinion that
if dairying is to require all this they
had better give up dairying ut once"
We do not believe that any device can
take the place of cleanliness in the
dairy; and, moreover, device Of this
kind will be very difficult to keep clean.

PREMATURE BURIAL.
Unique Device to Prevent Such ca.

sian NOblemaA.

The mere thought Of being buried
alive is enough to send the cold chills
creeping up ones spine in lively FASH
ion. Count Karnici-Karnici, cham
berlain of the Russian emperor, and
the owner of an ingenious mind, ex-
perienced this unnerying sensation
some time ago when, at the funeral
of young woman, he heard piteous
cries arising from the coffin after it
had been lowered into the grave and
dirt was being thrown on the lid.
The incident so affected him that he
set to work to invent a device that
would prevent premature burials.
and after several trials he announces
that he has succeeded.

ness. In this gate the vertical pieces
are four inches apart. In hanging the
gate we have found nothing equal to
a strap hinge, with a screw bolt for
a hanger. The strap is bolted through
the gate with quarter-inch bolts.
The latch is made of the same ma
terial as the vertical pieces, being cut
down to half its size in order that the
side motion for moving the latch be-
low may be secured. 1t is bolted be-
tween the two three-inch pieces and
also to the piece below. When the top
of the lever is pushed forward the
gate is Unmatched, and with reverse &C
ton the gate, when in proper place,
is securely held by the short right an
gular piece. A light brace is very
necessary to hold the gate in proper
shape. In our barn we have eight of
these light, simply constructed gates
that serve an indispensable purpose.
At night all gates are closed, and if any
animal gets united NO harm can be
done.

THE BACTERIA SCARE.
A Subject on Which Much II Written
by Persons Who Don't Know
ra Anything About 1t.

A good deal of misconception exists
in the public mind as to the nature
OF bacteria. It is no unusual thing
to hear them called bugs" In fact
a certain weekly paper, whose editor
should know better, has been guilty Of
a headline. "Mr. - has discovered
new bug" Only last week the writer
heard fairly we'll educated man speak
of bacteria as bugs. Even the late Col.
Ingersoll stigma tized whisky as ''bug-
juice" and the term stuck. Bacteria
are plants of the nature of fungus.
So when we hear about 100000 of them
being in thimbleful of milk we need
not be alarmed. 1t may only mean
that there are that number of yeast
plants in the milk. Whether the bac-
terra are harmful or not depends on
whether they are disease-producing or
not. Out of a million bacteria not one
NAV be harmful. Sour milk is prob
ably as healthful as sweet milk, yet it
has been rendered sour by the presence
of millions of these bacteria. The pub
lie seems to have taken up with the
idea that all bacteria are to be regard
ed as enemies. Hence we see reports
on milk, which represent it as swarm
ing with bacteria. The city and vii
lage councils at once become alarmed
and propose sweeping measures to
prevent milk being sold that contains
more than a certain number of bac-
terra. There is no doubt much reason
to watch the milk supply, but the mere
presence of bacteria determines moth
ing.-Farmers' Review.
