TEST MAKES SURE OF DEATH
Injection of FluoreseIn Will Tell Abso.
lutely Whether Any Life Remains
In Body.

A remarkable new method Of test
ing absolutely whether a person Ii
really dead and thus avoiding the pos.
sibility Of premature burial, Just an.
nounced by Doctor Icard, Of Marseil.
les, has been received with great in.
terest by his colleagues in Paris.
Doctor Icard's system depends on
the question whether the blood is still
In circulation or not, and consists of a
subcutaneons injection Of a small
quantity of fuoresein, which is quite
harmless, but one of the most violent
coloring matters known.
If there be the slightest motion OF
the blood the fluoresein. carried around
the body, staines it a vivid golden
yellow, while the eyes become a deep
emerald green. If, on the other hand
there Is no movement of the blood the
coloring matter is not dispersed. and
produces no effect. Half an hour Is
stated to be enough to make this test
The laity, while duly impressed by
this neat method, are asking whether
persons who are alive and undergo
the dyeing process, and who later re
cover. will lose the golden yellow tint
and the green eyes, which, as Doc
tor Icard describes them, ARE trans
formed into superb emeralds, set like
jewels in their sockets"
1t may be added, however, that
fluoresein is one of the most transi
tory dyes known.

"GL0RI0US" RIOTS IN DUBLIN
London Newspaper Thus Describes
: Popular EbuilItions In Ireiand's
Ancient Capital.

One Of the jolliest Dublin riots of re-
cent years celebrated the relief Of
Ladysmith. Dublin was pro -Boer, but
Trinity college was on the side of the
government. From their. stronghold
on College Green the Trinity boys"
descended in their fury upon the town.
1t was a glorious half hour. Dublin
was spelling for a fight. But the ar
rival upon the scene of the royal Irish
constabulary brought about a change
In the disposition of forces. The con-
tending armies joined in a vigorous
and effective onslaught against the
common enemy. For every Irishman
whether he labels himself Unionist
or Nationalist-is at heart a rebel.
There was a Dublin riot which
broke out on the mere rumor of q
scheme for the union of Ireland with
England. The mob on December 8,
1859, descended upon the houses OF
parliament and testified to their scorn
of politicians by seating upon the
throne decrepit old woman, in whose
mouth they placed a pipe and invited
her to smoke. In the house of com.
mons they proposed to make bonfire
of the journals, but were diverted by a
more enticing proposal to hang Rigby
the newly appointed master Of the
rolls. Off the grim revolutionaries sal.
lied, the necessary gallows ready, to
seize their lawyer. Rigby, however
had scented mischief, and had "pru.

Concerning the Memory.

Ways Of the memory in later life ex-
ercised the famous DR.. Jowett Of OK

consolation. "At ffty-fve you fail to
remember things-words, pictures,
persons-after six months or a years
interval. Yet the circle Of objects
which you recognize Is ever becominx
wider, and this power of recognition
Is a great gift If cultivated. There is
the greatest value In forgotten knowl-
edge Instead of the stores of mem
ory depressing you, with little trou-
Bile you can recall all that is useful or
necessary" And to Lady Wemyss. re-

OLD HEROES CHARM NO MORE
Deerfoot, Thaddeus Of Warsaw ant
Others Seem to Be Forgotten by
the Youth of Today.

A group of American schoolboys
visiting England were taken to Rug
by to gather impressions. The Eng
lish masters, fearful that the boys,
instead of using their eyes, would
carry away just the impression they
had brought-an impression, Of
course, left by reading "Tom Brown g
School Days"-made eager inquiries.
which brought to light the fact that
not one of the hundred boys had evss
read the schoolboy classic. Nor was
that the worst. Few of the English
boys attending the school had read
the book, either. A recent investi-
cation in an American city revealed
the astounding fact that the charm
Of Deadwood Dick and other rugged
western types begins to pail on Young
America decidedly early
? 1t would scarcely surprise one to
hear that Deerfoot no longer casts
his potent spell, that Thaddeus of
Warsaw is unknown, that the brisk
and self-reliant heroes of Alger, Op-
tic and Henty are no longer brisk
enough, and that Tom Sawyer him
self is out of date. What do the
youngsters read nowadays? Have
they become addicted to treatises on
population, exposures of graft, ar
ticles on scientific management, ar.
guments for the suffrage and pro-
posals to let the people rule? 1t may
be that the cradles and the nurseries
of the present are sheltering brains
so eager and active that the best
thing we grownups can do is to rele-
gate ourselves promptly to the shelf

FEAR INVASION OF MOTHS
Forest Products Carried Between
States Are Hereafter to Be
Vigorously Inspected.

No more Christmas trees or Christ
mas green's or forest products, such
as logs, tan bark, posts, poles, shrubs,
vines and cuttings, will be allowed to
move interstate without inspection
from any point in the areas defined
by the department Of agriculture as
infested by the brown-tail moth or
the gypsy moth, says the Country
Gentleman.
Secretary Houston in a recent quar-
antine order to this effect, defines
certain towns in Maine, Vermont,
Massachusetts and Connecticut and
all the territory between them and
the Atlantic ocean as infested by the
brown-tail moth Similar definitions
as to the areas infested by the gypsy
moth embrace Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Massachusetts, and Rhode Is
land.
Every interstate shipment of such
plants, shrubs or forest products
listed in this quarantine order must
bear the names and addresses of con-
signer and consignee, together with a
certificate showing that the contents
have been duly inspected and found
free from moth infestation. This
order became effective August 1,
1918, and has been issued by the
secretary under authority conferred
by the plant quarantine act, approved
August 29, 1912.

"CLUMSY JOHN" WAS CURED
How Physical Defects In AvoWediy
Clever Boy Were Remedied
at Last.

In Woman's Home Companion Mary
for Little Children says:
Il know a headlong boy who was
continual trial to his parents. He
never ran through room without up
setting something; he never ate or
drank without spilling food and drink
lavishly over his clothes, He broke
his toys. He was always having acci-
dents, and he was continually scolded,
of course. for his tiresome ways.
THE continual cry, Don't be so
clumsy, John,' gave him the nick
name of Clumsy John John was a
clever boy Intellectually, and it never
occurred to his parents that his head
long ways were anything but defect
of character, d sort of 'cussedness' Of
Johns, which, If he would only take
thought, he could Immediately correct.
Then one day his mother began piec-
ing together various facts concerning
Johns clumsiness, having been led in
this by finding out that John couldn't
skip a rope.
What he needed was muscular
training. So the family stopped nagging
John and sent him to gymnasium.
They got him bicycle to ride, which
taught him balance. He also had les
sons in modelling and carpentry, and
little by little John came out of his
clumsiness.
This woman, in homely ways, ap-
piled theory that a great English
physical culturist has applied for
overcoming serious physical defects in
children who are deficient on account
of severe Illness. Every child who
lacks deftness has needed the sort
of training when they were babies
that Doctor Montessori suggests.
There are no careless children; there
are only children who need muscular
training. In the first place the chill
dren in Montessori school walk the
chalk line, which gives them balance.
have seen small children amuse
themselves for hours celebrating this
game, first walking a chalk line or a
crack, then walking it with a heavy
object held alright angles, and finally
the older children walking it with

Changing Customs.

A writer in the Washington Post
tells of an old lady who remembered
dining at the White House with Mr.
and Mrs. John Quincy Adams. Mr..
Adams ate with his fork, and Mrs.
Adams apologized for it, saying that
he had acquired the habit during his
sojourn in France. Mrs. Adams and
the other guests used their knives.
All this is comment on changing
manner. But 1t should be noted that
Mr.. Adams ate with four-tined silver
fork, while the other guests had only
two-tined forks, which then were the
common kind. Without the develop
ment of the fuor-tined fork, the habit
Of eating with ones knife would not
have been so rapidly discarded. AS
between four-tined fork and knife,
the fork is to be chosen for ; convent
ence's sake, but as between a two
tined fork and knife on many occa-
sions the latter would be actually the
more serviceable.

NOT A FICTION OF HISTORY
Barbara Frietchie Was Real
Parsonage.

All believers in Barbara FIietchie
will greet with gratitude the evidence
that there really was such a person,
set forth by Mrs. Clara v. Mott. And
the most striking thing in reading the
poem, in knowing that more than a
thousand people have gone from all
over the country to Mrs. Frietchie's q
home, out of devotion to her memory,
is that all this sustained sentiment
came from the fact that q woman
waved her flag to what she supposed
were Union troops, and continued to
wave it when she. discovered they
were not.
But it is relief to know positively
that she waved her flag at any one,
for belief of fifty years is hard to
shake. And wave it Barbara did. SAYS
Mrs. Mott, who reports the details in
the Baltimore American. A soldier in
Washington, who was in the Third
brigade, saw 1t done. Moreover. Mrs.
Abbott Of Frederick, heard the story
from her mother, Barbara's niece, to
whom Mrs. Frietchie told the tale an
soon as 1t had happened.
Even those who question the pretty
incident cannot doubt that Barbara
