was a small perforation in the heart
and that for days blood had been leak
ing from that organ.

A Sensible Protest.

Are the postoffice department off, cials too fussy? It seems so. when they must decline to carry in the mails any mail matter that is marked in writing, Not to be opened before Christmas unless it is paid for in letter postage. A good deal of mail matter goes to the dead letter office through technicalities that are not clearly understood. If anybody hap pens to have a hand stamp bearing the above legend, and uses it on the second or third class matter it is all right. and why not allow the sender who has no stamp to use a pen and say the same thing and send his pack age? There is too much technical hampering in the postal service, and when the cost of maintaining the dead letter department is reckoned up. it will be seen that it does not pay It costs just as much to send a package to the dead letter office as it would to forward it as addressed, and the postage having been paid by an inno- cent violator of a silly regulation. the government is placed in the attitude of one who defrauds as well as dis appoints one of it's citizens As it is. there is no redress, but the postmaster general should give this matter a lit tie attention and remedy the wrong.

Young men go into politics-I do not mean dilettante politics. l mean shirtsleeve politics. You can't help poor folks by handing them dainties on the end of golf stick, and you can't carry primaries by reading es- says tied up with pink ribbons Roll up your sleeves. If you see a grafter, go after him and down him; if you see man that is on the square, tie to him and back him up. Get into political clubs, attend caucuses and primaries. canvass your election dis trict, establish a personal following, and deliver the goods. Don't let them freeze you out-they may try it. They can't freeze out a good man: sooner or later they have to come to him. Hit hard and play fair.-Representa tive C H. Chandler of Rocky Hill, Conn.

Bringing the Dead to Life.

A young Russian woman, Dr. Louise c. Rabinovitch, who came here from France, recently startled American scientists by her declaration that she could bring back to life a body that had been electrocuted. On November IS. in New York city, she gave a thoroughly convincing demonstration of her discovery. The only visitor al her demonstration who submitted to the test was a rabbit. Bunny was electrocuted. A few minutes after it had been pronounced dead by compe- tent physicians, it was breathing naturally again, and half an hour after the fatal shock, it was hopping around the room, a little dazed but very much alive.
 Later the demonstrator showed how a rabbit could be anaesthetized by electricity and not suffer the bad aft CT effects, to say nothing of the risk of death, which always accompany the use of chloroform and ether.
 This remarkable young woman claims that with a human being as a subject she can do everything that she demonstrated with the rabbit. The officials of the electric company considered the results most import ant, because they suggested a method of resuscitating those employees who from time to time are fatally shocked in the course of their duties.-Collier's Weekly.
