A word more before leave the beau.
tiful city of st. Augustine in Sunny
Florida, although the whole of our
visit was not made as a matter OF fact
in sunshine. We went into the old
Cathedral with it's three bells "all In a
row." and one smaller bell hanging
above, one of these being the Oldest bell
in the United States. We also visited
three Of the principal churches in the
city-the pretty Episcopal, the unique
Methodist, and the beautiful Presby-
terrain church, the last memorial built
by Mr.. Flagler for his only daughter.
Fort Marion, one of the sights Of st.
Augustine is an old Spanish fort, de-
serted, but kept in repair for visitors.
We climbed the famous stairway to the
ramparts where the view of bay, har-
Dor, town and ocean Is so fine | stood
in the sentinel towers on the four
corners of the Fort and almost imag-
lned could see the enemy approaching.
To me the quaint old streets Of the
town where most fascinating; there are
no sidewalks, and one has to hug the
walls in order not to be run over;
second story verandas are not uncom-
mon and one can easily shake hands
with his neighbor on the opposite ver-
anda or balcony. One of the very oldest
houses is built of cochina a natural
shell conglomerate, and has a gable
roof covered with moss, from which
has sprung growth of bright green,
ten inches high.
AT night it Is an interesting sight to
eaunter through these narrow pictures
que streets, lined on each side with
shops, where the curiosity seeker could
find alligators stuffed in every size,
from the little ones, just coming out
of their shells, to the great big fellows
that made you shudder, they looked so
life-like. Hundreds of pretty things in
palmetto, shells, etc. were also exhibit.

Restore Life After Death.
Claim That Victims of Electric Chair
Can Be Brought Back to Life. Ia

Can Be Brought Back to Life. Ia
To be able to restore life after cleo
trocution is the claim Of ]. M. Berger,
an expert electrician, who states that
" his method a person electrocuted at
one Of our prisons, and pronounced
dead by the attending physicians, may
be restored to life. His only require
ments are that he be allowed to take
the body within fifteen minutes after
life is pronounced extinct and that the
brains be not baked or the lungs car
donated.
Mr.. Berger states that he, himself,
received more volts than are supposed
to be necessary to kill man and that
he knows of cases where as high as
5000 and 1000 volts have gone through
mems bodies and they have been re-
stored to life and health.
He cites as an illustration, the case
OF Joseph Averell, a Baltimore line
man, who was caught in an alternating
current of 5000 voltage and thrown
from a pole to the middle Of the street.
He was removed at once to the city
hospital and emergency treatment was
quickly applied. Both of his hands
were burned to crisp and his skull
was almost fractured by the fall to
the street, but he recovered.
Mr.. Berger's method is very simple
and one that he claims may be followed
by any person who is cool-headed and
not likely to become excited. He lays
the victim Of electrocution on his back
with a rolled coat or blanket under his
shoulders so that the head is allowed to
fall backwards. The operator should
kneel behind the head of the patient
facing him, grasp the elbows and draw
them well over the head, so as to bring
them almost together above and hold
them there for two or three seconds
He should then carry the elbows down
to the sides and front of the chest
firmly comprising 1t by throwing his
weight upon the elbows.
After two or three seconds, the arms
should be carried above the head and
the same manoeuvers should be repeated
at the rate of fifteen or sixteen times
minute. The operators must remem.
Der that the manipulation must be con.
Quoted with methodicai deliberation,
just as described, and never hurriedly
or half heartedly. In addition to this,
the tongue must be drawn out to free
the throat. A cloth should be used in
holding the tongue so it will not slip.
1t must be drawn out when the arms
are held above the head and allowed to
recede when the chest is compressed.

LIKES FINE CHINA PIECES.

Under Mrs. Roosevelt's supervision
one Of the most valuable collections in
this country has been placed on exhi.
bition in the basement Of the White
House, and it is a proud day when she
can add something of historic worth
to the treasures. The exhibit Is made
up entirely of remnants of the dinner
sets which formerly served the Presi.
Dental families. 1t begins with some
rare gold-trimmed plates and cups and
saucers, which were the pride Of
Martha Washington's heart, and the
contributions continue down to the era
Of Mrs. Mckinley.

Helen GouId's Charity.

In the name of her father and moth
er Helen Gould, with the assistance OF
Elizabeth Altman, annually distributes
$5O0.000 in charity. Probably Miss
Gould supports directly and indirectly
more charities than any other one per-

reach 500 or more beneficiaries. Her
total disbursements during the last
eight years-and they are all made
with business Judgment and through q
perfect system-reach $4,000,0Q0.

Various are the reasons given for
the placing of the two buttons on the
back Of mans coat. One is that
they are survival of buttons which
were used on the eighteenth century
riding coat. The coat tails were thus
buttoned up when the rider was on
horseback.

fine and white An old sea captain
from Nassau had just landed his
schooner at the wharf so we paid him
a visit, bought some pretty pieces of
coral, and were treated to Cuban ba-
nanas and my husband to black cigars
as well. The Captain had some superb
tortoise shells. While he is on his
trips, his young wife keeps q little shop
and sells the treasures Of the sea, with
which he keeps her richly supplied.
Goodbye To Old St. Augustine,
The next morning, after four days
visit, we had to say goodbye to this
fascinating old city. 1t contains SO
much-the superb hotels with their
wealth Of beauty and luxuriant courts
filled with tropical vegetation. the
churches, the fort, the quaint old
streets. the shops, the bay, the sea, the
beautiful blue of sky and ocean, the
sunshine-ah me, it makes a picture I
shall never forget a dream that has at
last been realized.
The next morning we rode by train
for an hour through the pine woods
to Palatka, there boarding the little
steamer Osceola--which was to take m
% miles through the st. Johns River
and 101 miles up the Oklawaha-tho
Indian name for Crooked Waters
Such a funny little tub is the Osceola.
It is about 80 feet long by % feet wide.
Fortunately we had telegraphed for
state rooms, as the boat was so crowd
ed that many passengers had to hang
on hooks. Our room was on the ton
deck, and so spacious that only one Of
US could get into 1t at a time.
The Fascinating OkIawaha.
The st. Johns is quiet and monoto-
nous, but the beauty of the Oklawaha
IS extremely fascinating-a narrow
river without banks, constantly turn
Ing at right angles with itself, the
great tall cypress trees full Of waving
gray moss, growing directly out OF the
water, which is of inky blackness. Now
and then, but rarely, the river being
very crooked, there is a short vista
through these weird looking trees. with
their branches reaching out toward
Heaven, and the Spanish moss swaying
gracefully back and forth in the breeze.
The surface OF the water was covered
with lily pads, sbonnets'' the captain
called them, but 1t was too early In the
season for the lilies.
Now and then the steamer stopped
at a lonely wharf to take on wood, and
on the upper deck at dusk, pine torches

family Illuminating each side Of the
river, and creating most fantastic
shapes and shadows. About 8 o'clock In
the evening, We heard the whistle OF
the down boat, and the pilot moored
US In a part Of the river wide enough
for her to pass. It was q beautiful
sight as we watched her lights, while
she twisted and curved her way toward
us, passing within a few inches OF
the Osceola, the flame of her pine knots
casting weird shadows about US and
the darhies on board singing as with
cheers and hurrahs she slipped out Of
sight. e-----s--s~.v z
