Premature burial Is a subject that
has no doubt aroused vast deal of
morbid Interest. Every one knows per-
sons who pass much Of their lives in
state Of continual horror lest they
be buried alive and who suffer, indeed,
vastly more In anticipation than they
ever could in fact If their worst fears
should be realized. Nevertheless, so
many well-authentlcated cases Of pre-
mature burial are on record and such
slight precautions are sometimes taken
to make sure that death really has oc-
CURED that the subject has a very real
social Importance One investigator
of this subject, DR.. Franz Hartmann,
collected particulars Of 700 cases of the
kind. Some years ago the Paris Figaro
started discussion of the subject and
within fifteen days received over 400
letters from persons who had lust es-
capped burial alive, or who knew Of
such cases. a writer In one OF the cur
rent British periodicals adds many
cases to the list and provides, indeed,
a chamber of horrors for those lnclin-
ed to read 1t. This writer's conclu-
sion Is that there is no true sign of
death except the beginning of decom-
position, and he cites instances to show
how all the other signs usually relied
on have occasionally failed, including
rlgor mortls and the "diaphanous"
test. He also Insists that fits of trance
and catalepsy are much more frequent
than Is generally supposed. In German
and Austrian cities mortuarles are
maintained In which the dead must re-
main for a certain length of time, and
no body may be buried except after
certificate has been Issued by an official
Inspector who Is required to pay sew
eral visits before acting. In these NOR
tuarles there have been numerous cases
Of the resuscltatlon Of persons suppos-
edly dead. In England there is now
under consideration legislation for
more rigid inspection Of the dead when
certificates are granted for the appoint
ment Of death verifiers to whom an ap-
peal may be made in cases Of doubt,
and for the establishment where COM
munities desire 1t of official mortuaries.
For our own country the discussion of
the subject should certainly influence
all physicians to be exceedingly eau
tious about the granting of death GER
tiflcates, and, above all, never to grant
certificates without careful investiga-
tion in cases the history of which they
do not personally know.

Before he would sanction the depar-

feminine fancy, and acquiesced.

How a Picture Title Was Not InaptIy
Transferred.
The sisters Of the famous artist,
George Frederick Watts, were all re-
markable and charming women-a
brilliant trio, whom their friends nick
named Beauty, Dash and Talent"
The second, Mrs. Prinsep, was the
mother Of the late Valentine Prinsep,
the artist, who inherited from her not
only his artistic temperament, but
much of the spirit, humor and social
aptitude which had earned her her
nickname. He was a notable story-tell-
er, and particularly fond of relating
amusing criticisms of art and artists.
1t was he who first told, and always
stoutly asserted to be true, the story,
often retold and with many variations,
of the country couple visiting the gal
lery in which was exhibited Landseer's
picture Of collie fallen over cliff
while herdlng the flock among the
craggy Highlands, and just reached by
the anxious shepherd, whose words,
called up to comrade peerlng over
the verge, supply the title.
The rustic pair had wandered on
from the room where this picture hung
to the next, which was dominated by
n large painting of King Lear. At this
they gazed for some time in awed ST.
lence; then the old lady inquired what
1t was, and her husband looked up the
name In the catalogue.
BY accident, he turned two pages at
once, and read off the number of the
corresponding picture in the room they

CIRCUS LESSONS.
NNN~N~NONO~

Discipline is one Of the spokes in the
circus system wheel, says writer in
the Cosmopolitan. In the modern cir
Gus no swearing Is allowed, as women
and children may hear it. Cards, dice
and drink are prohibited. This Is not
the conception which the public holds
concerning circus people, but strength
and steady nerves are needed for cir
Gus feats, and dissipation Of any kind
would soon leave the performers with
out profession.
When big American circus was
abroad the German Emperor came one
night incognlto and watched them un-
load the fat cars. Their system so i'm
pressed him that he had some of the
officers of the German army see it and
adopt some of their methods.
In landing the circus outfit the first
man there is the "layer-out." He gen.
orally decides in about ten minutes
where his tents are to be placed. AS
the building of the white city proceeds,
everything seems to be In confusion, a
tangled mass. Men are running every
way wagons seem to be dumping their
loads promiscuously but every wagon
is lettered or numbered, so is every box
or trunk, and all have their proper
places. This great tumble of wagons
groaning and creaking in the soft turf
and men shouting and singing Is all
working as one great whole to an end.
But although they all work together,
each man Is taught to think for him
self, and when man shows ability, he
Is soon noticed. One instance of this
was afforded by young man who was
studying medicine in the winter, and
thought season in the fresh air would
harden him for his next winters work.
The only job he could get was as can
vas man. But he was able to think for
himself, and promotion soon came.
The circus child Is not taught by
blows, but by kindness and patience,
and the circus management insists that
every child shall go to school In win
ter.

The decline In farm values in Now
York was considered at a convention
In Syracuse recently. The Chamber
of Commerce, which called the conven-
tion, Is convinced that the continued
prosperity Of the cities of central New
York depends on revival of farming.
There has been continual decrease
In the value Of Eastern farming land
since 1880. 1t was notable In all New
England, In New York, New Jersey.
Pennsylvania and Ohio until 1890.
while the value Of the farms in the rest
Of the country increased. From 1890
to 1900 the decrease In value in the
New England States, except Maine.
ceased, and turn upward began. This
was due to the efforts of public spirited
men to awaken an interest In the possi-
bilities of agriculture, as well as due
to the purchase for summer homes Of
many abandoned farms. Although the
average value of the farms and their
improvements Is not so great to-day as
In 1850, the general farming situation
Is satisfactory, save In the East. The
present center Of farm values is near
Springfield, Ill. Should the Eastern
farms be restored to anything like
their old worth that center would be
not very distant from the center of
population, near Indianapolis Ind.
