Children Of Sick Mothers

Many a mother who has been urged
TO submit to an operation to restore
her to the health which is necessary
for proper care of her family has been
distracted at the thought of being
obliged to go to a hospital and leave
hnr children without proper care dur.
Ing her absence. Especially is this
true among the very poor. where
most OF the relatives. male or female,
leave to go out to work. or. perhaps.
have large families of their own to
feed.
To meet this emergency an excel.
lent charity is being financed by some
wealthy women In Gotham. who have
established a nursery where young
sters ranging from n few months to
hve or six years can have trained
care while their mothers. with easy
minds, are trying to regain their OVID
strength.

The important question to each
farmer Is how can he determine . nat
each COW is doing7 Only three things
are necessary. a circular spring bal.
aace. recordsheet and a testing outfit.
The first two should be owned by each
farmer since they may be had at a
small cost, and the last should be Dur.
CEASED by the school district and
placed in the local school room.
The making Of the test for butter
fat Is quite simple, and may be done
very accurately by boys and girls OF
the sixth and seventh grades. This
would make very valuable school ex-
ercise for one day in each month. In
schools where agriculture is not
taught II could be made a part of the
work OF the physiology class. Each
boy and girl should learn how to make
Tee test quickly and accurately and
7hould be given school credit for the
work done. The results obtained from
the test will make valuable lessons in

MO TRUTH IN OLD STORY
oliver ooIdsmIth's Dead Body Never
In Danger Of Being Seized by
His Creditors.

More or less credence has always
seemed &c be given TO the story that
GOldsmith's debts disrupted the ar
rangements made for his funeral. His
biogfaphers have not been above
dwelling on this unhappy report. Now
comes Case and Comment with the
legal side Of II. and makes out what
appears to be clear case. A public
funeral In Westminster abbey was de-
signed, the pall-bearers had been Sc
lected from the distinguished circle to
which Goldsmith belonged; and then
the rapidly maturing arrangements
came TO q sudden halt The public
funeral was given up without explana-
ton. The burial took place simply.
almost secretly. in the ground of
the Temple church. None of the old
literary friends was present. This
strange change in procedure has been
explained by the statement that
friends feared that creditors would in
terfere with the public funeral by
selling the body. a right which II is
alleged the creditors had under the
law at that time. This explanation
has been reiterated until It Is quite
generally believed. AS a matter of
fact the story is without foundation,
because the law OF England never
gave right Of this nature TO cred
itors. The story has also been quite
industriously circulated about Richard
Brinsley Sheridan. who likewise died
heavily in debt. Whatever Il was that
changed the arrangements OF a public
funera' for Oliver Goldsmith, II may
be safely asserted as a legal propo-
sition that there was not any llkeli-
hood that the dead body would be
seized by creditors Goldsmith was
buried by his lawyer friends and
neighbors within the boundaries OF
their own domain. He had lived his
happiest days among them. and il was
after all more fitting that he should
lie down to his long rest in the midst
OF them. rather than In a garish and
splendid tomb in Westminster abbey.

A Monument In AItkirch.

One Of the public monuments in Alt
kirch commentaries the deliverance
or the town from an attempt to cap
ture II made Ia 1875 by troop OF
English freebooters. Their leader was
a son-in-iaw of Edward Ill. Enguerrand
de Coucy. who was then waging a
fierce but futile warfare against the
Holy Roman empire and had pillased
q number of towns in Alsace, and on
reaching Altkirch penetrated into the
town In the small hours of the morn
Ing, when-so the legend runs-an ap-
partition appeared in the sky to warn
the Inhabitants. who promptly sprang
from their beds and routed the invad-
ers. Every year. February 2. Altkirch
holds a fete to celebrate its escape
from de Coucy and his English merce.

Naval Code Books.

On every ship in the American navy
the commanding officer and the second
in command are each furnished with
a copy of the secret naval code of the
government. These books are bound.
not as ordinary books, in cloth covers,
but in heavy metal backs. The object
is to prevent them from falling In the
hands OF the enemy. for their weight is
so great that. when thrown into the
water. they sink Immediately. where
rs. il bound In the usual manner. the
spreading OF the leaves might keep
hem afloat long enough to permit o
vigilaEt enemy to pick them up.
These officers are commanded first
of all things to throw these book over
board before surrendering their YES
sells or whenever there is danger Of an
enemy getting aboard. The capture OF
one of these books, 1t is considered by
the naval authorities, would be more
disastrous In time of war than the
loss of battleship.

3Sc0LUTE PROOF OF DEATH
Simple Test Familiar to All Phys+
clans Prevents Possibility of Per-
son Being Buried Alive.

To many persons the dread OF be-
ing buried alive is an obsession. Sci
ence has so many tests now that ouch
thing is almost impossible. There
Is no necessity now for such precau-
lions as were taken in ancient times.
ut the request OF those who feared
this contingency. When the attend
ing physician Is in the least doubt he
has a very harmless and simple mode
OF testing the point and proving alb
solutely whether the patient is really
dead or only in n cataleptic fit, sim
ulating death.
II is known that even though the
finger cannot detect the beat of the
pulse, nor the stethoscope bear to the
listening ear of the physician the
least beat OF the heart, a quiet cir
culation OF the blood may be going
on, and the person be actually alive.
though giving no signs that can be
noted by touch or hearing.
II has been proved that il 16 grains
OF fluorescein-a substance explained
by the chemists as an anhydrid OF
resorcin, the well known aseptic
agent-be injected into the circula-
tory system say at the jugular vein. in
a few minutes the mucous membranes
of the patient will appear a decided
yellow. and the eyes will be phosphor-
escent-if there is any circulation go
ing on in this persons body, be II ever
so silent and gradual.
If. on the other hand, there Is no
circulation. the fluorescein will have
no effect on the mucous membranes
whatever, and the eyes will not have
any brilliancy, proving that there Is
no life in the body of this person.
Here Is one of the simplest. and at
the same time surest, tests of life
known to science. There is no reason
whatever for the fear OF being still
alive when buried. IL this simple test
is made.

Iee Breath Is Death

One variety OF the orchid which
grows in the tropics is known as the
vampire orchid. This flower has a
wonderful Odor which is peculiarly at
tractive to animals. When a beast
approaches the flower the odor mar
cotizes him and he sinks languidly by
the tree trunk to which the flower is
clingipg. Then the flower stretches
down its long. green tentacles and
sucks out the blood OF the poisoned
animal. The beast never awakens
frum its sleep. while h, er-',, r'le paIe
flower takes on ST, velvet aush.
