What Constitutes Death.

Is the cessation of the hearts action
an inva1iable sign of death? There is
on record the case of a woman whose
heart was revived by artificial respira-
ton some time after she was supposed
to have died, but the heart stopped
again when the artificial respiration
was given up. There is on record also
the case of Il decapitated murderer
whose heart continued to beat for an
hour after the execution. Was the man
dead?
Obviously the cessation of the brains
activities is no criterion. A medical
authority who has lately considered
this absorbing and important question
offers the following definition of what
we cali <death:'' Death" it is suggest
ed, is the name given to the inability
of the organs of the body to act togeth-
err with that harmony which is charac-
teristic of life although the derange-
ment of this vital harmony does not
preclude possible activity of the indi-
vidual organs, which recalls Herbert
Spencer's we'll known definition of life
as a continued adjustment of internal
relations to external relations = Har-
pers Weekly.

The Goose Got Away.

To the Hon. Joseph Sibley of
Pennsylvania the yarn-loving members
Of the house are giving credit for this
story:
There was a rich old farmer VINO
lived in one of the interior districts
near Philadelphia, and who got tangled
up in money transaction with one Of
his neighbOrs. Mr.. Aston, for that
was his name, sought an attorney, who
gave him letter of introduction to a
brother lawyer in Philadelphia, at
which place it was necessary to enter
the suit. The letters was delivered to
the lawyer, and while he was reading
it he was called out Of the room, leav-
ing the letter on his desk. Mr.. AL
ston let curiosity get the better of him,
and read the letter, which closed with
postscript stating that "Mr. Aston
is fat goose; pluck him heavy"
That was enough for the old farmer,
and. Selling a pen, he wrote: "P. S.
No. 2-The goose has flown, feathers
and ALL"
1t took him about three seconds to
amble down the stairs and into the
streets, and he has not had anything
to do with lawyers from that day to
this. preferring to pluck his own geese.
