degree of equanimity; it would not be
very pleasant spectacle. This may
be because we are a little old fash
toned. But as far as rights are con-
cerned, the women are entitled to the
same rights as the men.
They have a great many other rights
now that they did not have formerly.
vote in all elections, and in many states
the right to vote in some elections.
They are employed in various capaci-
ties in which men only were formerly
employed, and the strong-minded
among them never lose an opportu-
nifty to insist on further rights. There
is one right, however, to which they
have not as yet set UP any persistent
claim, and that is the right to stand
up in street cars when men are sitting
down. That is a right we are not yet
prepared to yield them.
The whole matter, getting down to
facts again, rests on custom. II is
no doubt true that a very much larger
smoked fifty or one hundred years ago.
1t is quite possible that fifty or a
hundred years hence the right of wOm-
en- TO smoke in public places will be
as generally recognized as the right of
men. We may then even have the
spectacle of women getting up and Of
fering their street car seats to men,
although it would be a poor compli-
ment to our descendants TO imagine
for a moment that the men would ae-
cept the proffered seats.
As to the constitutionality of the law
in regard to smoking. it may be said
that there can hardly be any question
Of its validity. There are laws which
prevent women from entering saloons
after certain hours, although men are
free TO come and go as they please at
all hours during which the saloon is
open. Nor has the constitutionality of
certainly is just as constitutional to
prevent women from smoking in public
as to prevent them from going into sa-
looms. 1t is just as constitutional to
prevent women, and especially spin
sters and widows who own property,
from voting on questions involving tax
alton. This is done in practically all
the states except those in the enlight-
ened west. where we are all Of the
opinion that the women are entitled,
not so much TO the good things that
they want TO have, but to the good
things the men want them to have.

basing their objection upon the ground
that women are entitled TO equal rights
with men. and that if they desire to
smoke in public it is their inaIienable
privilege to do So
They say that if they are not per-
mitted TO smoke in restaurants and
public places men should also be pro-
hibited from smoking. There is a good
deal of logic in their position For our
own part. we would not view the spec

ments she had returned to entire con-
seriousness, and after a short illness
regained her health. Her son Harry
was born six months after this.
Still another case nearer at home is
that of John adams of Del REQ. East
Tennessee. Adams is a mining en-
gineer, and one morning he was found
in bed apparently dead. A physician
said it was a case of heart failure. The
remains were made ready for inter-
ment and relatives and friends in Phil
adelphia were notified A check was
received from Philadelphia in pay
ment of the undertaker's bill. but the
undertaken declined to accept anything
save the hard cash. This caused a
further delay, and while waiting the
coming of the money by express the
eyes of the corpse" which lay on the
cooling board, opened as from a re-
freshing sleep. and there was yawn,
and there was likewise a sudden dis
appearance of the undertaken and 9TH
ers from the room. Mr.. Adams TecoV-
cred and is still alive.
Many other cases could be cited. and
so frequent are premature burials be-
coming that it is now a serious ques-
ton as to what measures can be taken
to guard against this terrible fate.
Physicians and undertakers are
agreed that there are but few infalla-
BILE signs of death, and, possibly, none
absolutely true save that of decompo-
sition. However, it is positively and
absolutely certain that no person will
ever be buried alive If the embalmer
does his work well, for if the corpse is
not already dead it will be after the
embalming fluid is used. There is lit
tie consolation to know that the en-
balmer is sure and certain death.
1t is not a difficult matter to tell the
difference between a dead person and
one seized with a catalepsy. There is
a tremendous difference in the rigidity.
The temperature viii also show you.
and you will be able 10 feel that the
pulse is beating. Should these tests
fail open a small blood vessel and you
will know whether d person is living or
dead. The greatest danger of prema-
ture burials lies in countries where
there are extremes in temperature and
interment Should not be made under
from four to six days, by which time
decomposition will have set in if death
is really there

This, the one hundred and first ami
versary of the birth of General Rob-
ert E. Lee, recalls the little known ,ac;
! that he was born more than a year
after his mother had been buried, fur
nishing to the world one of the most
astonishing cases of reviviscence OF
record.
General Lees mother was by Nc
means an entirely healthy woman, and
the physician at Stratford, Va, the
home of Henry Lee Gight Horse Har-
ry), was kept in almost constant at
tendance. Mrs. Lee suffered from ca
talepsy, and during a prolonged trance
she was pronounced dead The body
was prepared for interment, and the
morning of the third day after her
supposed death the remains were laid
to rest in the family vault in. the
graveyard of that pretty little Virginia
village.
While the sexton was cleaning ur
and arranging some fresh flowers to be
placed on the casket he heard a faint
voice as though of some one calling
for assistance.
Of course, the old man was some
what alarmed. but as he had seen
many years of service in the city of
the dead" he did not leave the vault

distinctly heard again.
Becoming satisfied that the voice
came from within the casket he at
once set to work and opened it, dis
covering that Mrs. Lee was alive. He
then summoned assistance and within
short time she was safe in bed at
her own home.
Mrs. Lees recovery was slow. but
she did regain good health and a lit
tie more than a year after she was
buried alive her youngest son, Robert
E., was born, and thus came into the
world one of her bravest men and
greatest generals.
But there have been a number of
cases of reviviscence, and General Lee

Use THE VACANT LOTS.

To speak of gardening during this
cold snap may seem inappropriate. but
in six or seven weeks people will begin
TO think of early spring vegetables,
and those who are fortunate enough to
| possess the ground will be preparing
for the reception of the seeds.
There is in Salt Lake City great
deal of unimproved property that
might be adapted TO gardening pur-
poses if il owners We're willing to UNI
dertake the experiment. In. many cities
a great deal of gardening is done on
vacant lots. There is no reason why
the plan should not be followed here.
for even an ordinary lot to go untitled
during the summer constitutes a waste
which can easily be avoided. and which
should not be countenanced
In many cases the owners of the
ground are men of abundant means,
who would laugh at the idea of doing
gardening on their own account No
body is asking them to do this, or to
go out with their own hands, dig the
soil and weed vegetable rows, or per-
form other necessary manual labor in
connection with gardening. 1t must
be confessed, however, that if they did
do it they would be getting some very
healthful exercise, and would be
stronger physically and more alert
mentally as a result.
But why cannot the men of means
turn their ground over to people who
would use it to advantage? An IN
derstanding might be reached between
the owner and the tenant at will to the
effect that in the event of the sale of
the property or its improvement there
was to be no recourse on the proprie-
tor In many cases it is quite well
known that the property will not be
improved or sold. and it is with this
class Of property that the suggestion
has to do.
Health Commissioner Evans of Chi
cago, one of the most alert officials of
his class in the country, a man of large
and practical ideas, and capable in ex-
eeution, has started the movement on
that line in the Illinois metropolis.
I'VE are devoting much energy" he
says, ito the problem of keeping clean
and healthful innumerabie vacant lots
throughout the city, as we'll as of un-
improved lots in the outskirts. We
cannot solve the problem by censure.
but we can solve it by appealing to the
self-interest of the people, by showing
them that lots now liabilities may be
diverted into assets
The visitor in Salt Lake i'm the sum-
mer sees many vacant lots breast high
in weeds that often cover disease
breeding garbage. The city would be
much more beautiful if those lots were
put into smooth lawns, but we cannot
expect that there is no reason. how
ever, why well kept gardens should
not take the place of the weeds. The
water supply Of the city is now ample,
and will be ample for our needs for
many years TO come. There is enough
of it for irrigating the proposed gar
den patches. and The Herald is sure
that the results obtained would more
than Justify the trouble and effort
necessary to obtain them.
