BREAKING THE NEWS GENTLY
Liverpool Man Exceedingly Careful
That He Should Not Shock the
Nerves of His Friend.

In Liverpool there is man, writes
contributor to Pearsons Weekly
who is famous for his calmness on
every occasion. One day he strolled
leisurely into the Office OF a friend

Preventing Premature BuriaIs.

The fear of being buried alive al
ways has been, and is, so widespread
that the French Academy Of Science
some years ago offered prize equal
to $500 for the discovery of some
means by which even the inexperi.
enced might at once determine wheth-
er. In given case. death had ensued
or not. A physician obtained the
prize. He had observed the following
well-known signs: II the hand Of the
suspected dead person is held towards
a candle or other artificial light. with
the fingers extended and one touching
the other, and one looks through the
spaces between the fingers towards
the light, there appears scarlet red
color where the fingers touch each
other, due to the blood still circulat-
ing: 1t shows itself through the It's
sues which have not yet congested
When life is entirely extinct. the phe-
nomenon of scarlet spaces between
the fingers at once ceases. The most
extensive and thorough trials estab-
lished the truth of his observation.

there are hats SO varied that they
seem to embrace the majority Of all

equally wide all around needs no other
requirement to classify it as belonging

mere inch-wide strip supporting the

more inches wide, which is the latest
