RATHER ROUGH ON FATHER
Daughters Remark Might Have Been Construed Unkindly by the
 Casual Listener.

Since Fred had become a sopho- more, and was therefore a college man, he had given himself patron izing airs toward Sister May, who had been his guide, philosopher and friend during boyhood Vexed by his haughtiness, she was unmercifully quizzing him the other evening at dinner.
 Has our man made up his mind, v she inquired, "as to what profession he will honor after a while?"
 Why. yes, little one" Fred re sponded, with his most aggravating smile. 'I have made up my mind to be a doctor, like grandfather and ia ther."
 You a doctor," May sniffed scorn- fully.
 I'd like to know why motif I get my diploma?" asked Fred still annoy ingly calm,
 Well, you'll never be a great sur geon. like father" May insisted.
 Again, why not?" Fred smiled con descendingly.
 You a surgeon like father!' May cried. yehemently Why, you big softly, you couldn't even kill fly!"
 Nobody but father caught the sig nificance of the remark. and somehow he didn't mention it.

Preventinq Premature Burials.

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- CT, in a given case, death had ensued or not. A physician obtained the prize He had observed the following well-known signs: If 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 tis- 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.
