REVIVAL OF THE DEAD.
to Bring Some Defunct Per-
sons Back to Life.

Dr. Robert G. Kemp, physician Of
repute, has lately brought before the
New York Academy of Science an ac'
count of some interesting experiments
which he has been conducting on lines
which were suggested some time age
by DR.. Pruss. He asserts that he be-
Iieves it possible, in many cases, to
bring back persons to life and to per-
manent recovery who are apparently
dead. His method, which he has al.
ready successfully practiced on dogs
is to make a small incision between
two of the ribs, and to thrust two
fingers into the wound until they touch
the heart. That organ is then pressed
against the ribs, and its natural motion
is initiated by a kind of massage. At
the same time a saline solution is In
fused into the patient, and respiration
is induced by a special form Of pump,
tube from which is thrust into the
windpipe. Under this treatment dogs
which have been chloroformed to such
an extent that no pulsation is per-
ceptible have been brought back to life
in II instances out of 20. 1t is true
that when Dr. Kemp tried the same
procedure in the case of a human be-
ing, about a year ago, he failed to re-
suscitate the patient; but he believes.
with the added experience which he
has since had. that the method would
now prove successful in his hands.

CONTEMPORARY ANCESTORS.
Eonntaineers of Kentucky and vir-
ginia Who Adhere to 0ld-Time
Colonial Habits.

Many people understand in al vague
way that the purest American strain
of the United States is found in the
southern states. In some of these the
proportion of foreign born is minute
fraction. Of course, in the Atlantic
coast and gulf line states there is a
large black mixture, but in the Appala-
chan mountains the white Anglo-Sax-
ons are found almost pure. This is an
enormous region, stretching from
Pennsylvania to Mississippi, and max
| ing up the mountain hinterland OF
nine states that front on the ocean and
on great navigable rivers says the Min
neapolis Tribune.
The president of Berea college,
which lies near the Kentucky noun
tains, describes the people in a recent
lecture in the north as sour contem-
porary ancestors" The phrase de-
scribes them like a picture. These
mountaineers, to the number of sew
eral millions are living in the precise
manner and amid almost forgotten
conditions of colonial times. Indus
I
trially, the women retain the art OF
the spinning wheel and hand loom; the
men are clever in the use of the whip
saw for getting out lumber and The
hand-mill for grinding corn. The
mountain stills use the primitive meth
DDS of the last century, and the noun
tain potteries make open lamps In
which grease is burned with floating
wick. Intellectually they have rather
degenerated than developed from the
Scotch-Irish ancestors of the eight
zenith century, but they have retained
strict though narrow, religious ideas.
What is to be the future history of
these colonial Americans of pure
blood, hardly changed for five genera
tions, who thrive and multiply in
lonely homes, only days journey
from modern civilized life? They have
physical vigor and latent intellectual
power. The few individuals, ike An
drew Jackson and Lincoln, who have
risen out of the mass, have left the
strongest mark upon our national life
and history. IT is a common question.

where the barbarians are to come
from to renew decayed American civ
ilization as the Teutonic tribes re-
newed that of Rome. Perhaps they
will pour down. when the time is ripe
for them. out of this mountain back

People Who Help Themselves to
Candies in the Big Depart
ment Stores.

ut is petty larceny by the whole
SALE" said foorwalker in one Of the
big department stores to a Washington
Star reporter, referring to the many
persons in the passing throngs who
thoughtlessly pick up a piece or two
of candy as they pass the stand on
which are heaped peanut brittle, cara
mels or other forms of candy. "Still,
if l should stop one of those women
and even intimate that she had stolen
the few bits Of candy she had taken
her indignation would be unbounded.
The fact remains, however, that the
picking-up-candy habit is general one
and in the course Of a day the loss
from this practice will foot up from %
to 80 pounds of candy in our establish
ment alone. Now if you will station
yourself over there behind that pile OF
goods and watch the candy stand a
few minutes you will see how they do
it."
There was a constant stream Of HUI
mainly brushing past the tall brunette
girl who presided with the grace of a
goddess over the candy stall. The first
"dipper," as the CONNECTION pilferers are
termed, was a wiry little woman. Her
right hand shot out quickly and seized
several caramels, while she kept NOV
ing. Of the 60 persons who passed the
stand in the first two minutes % of
them, by actual count, seized one or
more pieces of candy each.
One old lady, wearing gold-rimmed
eyeglasses and a rather serious ex-
preston, paused in front Of the stand,
picked up a large caramel, turned it
over and over and then bit off about
one-third of it. The flavor or some
thing did not please her and she threw
it back into the CONNECTION pile. But
the tall brunette girl was argus-eyed.
She had seen the last act committed,
and deity Selling the bitten caramel,
she threw it from the tray, with the
remark:
That's not mannerly, ma'am."
A small but Overwhelming boy
called for five cents worth of peanut
brittle, and while the clerk was plac-
ing the purchase in paper sack the
light-fngered lad filled both Of his side
coat pockets with more costly cream
caramels and went away without his
theft being even suspected.
A matronly looking lady, carrying
her handbag wide open, dumped two
handfuls of peanut brittle into her re-
ceptacle And so it went.
at wouldn't surprise me bit" said
the stately brunette, "to have some
person ask me for paper sack, then
fill it with candy, and, without paying
for it, walk away, perhaps remarking
as she went L will take few Of
these to Tootsie.' "

FEARFUL GIRL GRADUATES
Display of Emotions Frequently In
terrupts Festivity of Glass
SupperB.

The senior class suppers at COM
mencement time at the women's col
Ieges are apt to be much more emo
tional affairs than the same functions
celebrated by their brothers. Women
are naturally more demonstrative than
men, and the girl graduates really en-
JOY the opportunity to dissipate in their
emotions which this final meeting after
four years of association affords, says
college paper.
The festivity, if so fearful an occasion
deserves the name, is, Of course, private
and restricted to, members of the class
The toasts are largely personal and
commemorative Of events in the class
life, and are arranged to bring each
member to her feet in the course Of the
evening.
At Vassar matrimonial engagements
are announced in roll call that Is
most interesting part Of the proceed
ings. Each girl must answer to her
name with the words Guilty" or mot
guilty" according as she has said
Eyes" or not.
Sometimes a suspected member hes
itates to speak the committing words
and silence follows the first reading Of
her name. The etiquette of the occa-
sion demands that the name shall be
repeated three times, and the shyest
girl is apt to cry out her guilt rather
than face more than one perod of this
speaking silence.
When the supper is over, the speeches
made and the engagements announced,
the class starts on its last sad duty Of
saying goodbye to places and things
about the campus. This is most pa
thetic pilgrimage, and those who have
heard the qu9vering voices of the girls
as they try and fail to sing the class
songs have found their own eyes filling
In sympathy. This round ends the ag-
ony as class and the members dissolve
into small groups, slowly crossing the
campus and picking their way through
trunk-flled corridors to dismantled
looms.

You're a duck!" was the prompt and
happy reply.
But why did you not tell me that
Priscilla was with you that day."
"Pris-" he stammered, his eyes open
ing wide.
YES" quickly responded that young
lady, .artfully treading on Franks toe
as she approached; "she did not know
that was your companion Monday af-
ternoon, as that horrid Mrs. Gympton
failed to recognize me. AS you neglect
ed to mention 1t, how could she have
known
yes" assented he, vaguely; Ito be
sure; how could she?"
AS Frank escorted Priscilla home
later in the evening, few words were ex-
changed. Franks usually effervescing
nature had been subdued by recent
events, while Priscilla was absorbed in
her own rioting thoughts Reaching the
door of her Riverside home, she turned
and silently held out her hand. A tear
in her eye reflected the electric light at
the corner.

ly approaching the extent of her sacri-
flee. really, Priscilla, I'm not worth it."
Yes, you are" she returned, brok-
emily; II believe would do it again
for you and Sadie, but it seems strange
to find ones self liar"
He reverently raised her hand to his
lips
Early the next morning Priscilla burst
into the abode Of the Athertons, her
eyes telling the tale of a sleepless night
and a conscience i'll at ease.
"Oh, Sadie" she cried; Il know you
never will forgive me, but have been

You are a perfect dear" responded
Sadie; Frank told me all about it.
And. then, womanlike, in order to
demonstrate their complete happiness,

HOPE.

Hope has a little window where
Geraniums and roses grow,
Above a narrow. winding stair
In Sunshine row.
Her little room is poor within,
And yet, with gentle ministry,
She's drawn aside the curtains twin
All fair to see.
And though the rains without may fall,
The window-prophets shall not err;
She sings the while they bloom, for all
Is well with her;
And whose passeth down that way,
A living memory shall share
OF Hope, that maketh every day
Glad Sabbaths there.
