An unflat.erins Photograph.


 At the famous Mark Twain dinner a few years ago nearly every literary celebrity of the country was present. After the dinner the guests were as- sembled and photographed in groups. Mrs. Wilson Woodrow. the novelist, who had gone to the dinner under the escort of w. J. Hampton, was in one of these groups. If other photographers had been unjust to her this one outdid them. And when the photograph was printed. as they all were, Mrs. Wood row was the recipient of dozens of let, ters. typical of which came the follow, ing from Life:

lifeless on the platform of the train on which he was on duty from sudden apoplectic attack.
 The mans body was lifted to the ground and all the ordinary means of resuseitation were tried without avail, The man s face was ivid and he was without deteetable respiration or pull sation. He was on the point of being given up for dead when lura Kidikichi, jiu iitsu expert, happened to pass by and, lifting the iifeless body up, tried upon it the jiu jitsu method of resusci- tation.
 The effect was as instantaneous as it was marvellous. The patient imme. dately regained full consciousness, to the great amazement of the onlookers who had gathered around.
 Broadly speaking, the method ems ployed is as follows: The operator kneels on one knee immediately behind the patient whom he lifts to a semi sitting posture, placing his (the dper- ator 's) knees between and slightly be- low the patient s shoulder blades in the post-eardiac region. Then he brings his hands forward over the patient $ chest and gives powerful and sudden jerk backward
 If any life remains the effect is in stantaneous; not only revival and put sation, but full consciousness is re. stored The details of the procedure, upon which is success depends entire ly, belong-to the esoteric portion of iiu iitsu, which is only revealed to those who have attained high proficiency in the art

buried, there is hypogaeum the walls of which have recently been carefully cleaned by Father Mariana Colagrossi, who discovered,>an inscription scratched on the stone and consisting of the two words "Domus Petri, meaning the Y House of Peter. o The inscription is very clear and it's photography leaves hardly any doubt that it dates from the third century.
 This discovery confirms the tradition that the two apostles dwelt in the same place which after their martyrdom af- forded shelter to their bodies during the times of, prosecutions and corrobor. ates the inscription by Pope Damasus now in the Church of San Sebastino, which says: "Here you should know that saints dwelt their names if you ask them were Peter and Paul.p Be sides it may have some connection with the tradition of a second burial of the body of St. Peter in the same place. The two apostles were originally buried where their basilicas at the Vatican and on the Ostian way now stand, but their remains were subsequently, carried of along the Appian way by the oriental Christians who were sent to Rome to bring back the bodies to the east Here ne Roman Christians concealed them in the Catacombs of San Sebastino and af ter year and seven months restored them to their original sepulchre.
 The body of St. Peter was again con- cealed on the Appian Way at the be- ginning of the third century by Pope Calixtus, when Heliogabalus made his circus at the Vatican, and in the year 257 it was discovered by st. stephen, who removed it again to the Vatican. The word "domus" is often used in the sense of tomb CT resting-place, hence it is probable that the inscription just discovered relates to the second burial of St. Peter, evidence of which was lack
 ing, and it marks the spot of his second burial.-New York Sun.

Extreme Cold Weather Has Depleted Livestock in
 North Country

According to reports which have been received from the northern part of the county. the extreme cold weather which has visited that part of the county this winter has worked a greater hard ship on the cattle raisers than has been experienced in the past six years.
 The snow fall has been heavy, keep. ing the cattle away from much of the grass and as forage generally has been poor, stock in general is not in good condition and the loss of cattle has been heavier than usual.
 The weather is moderating somewhat, however, and the cattle men hope to end the winter without any further loss of stock.
