SOME NEW TESTS OF DEATH
Italian Scientist Has Made Public
Methods for Determining When
Life Is Ended.

An italian scientist describes the fol-
lowing three new methods Of determin-
ing the cessation Of life:
The first is the ether test. A drop
OF ether is lnstlllcd into the conJunc-
tival sac Of one eye. II this Is fol-
lowed by reddening of the conjunc-
tivl II affords proof that the circula-
tion ie Intuct and that life Is still pres
cnt. The other eye is used as a control.
"The second test consists in the sub
cutaneous injection of fiuOrescin,
which. II the Individual is still living.
is soon followed by Il yellowish color
ing Of the skin and mucOsa. The CON
Junctiva and the mucous membrane Of
the mouth. and particularly Of the
frenum Of the tongue. show this colora-
ton most distinctly. A negative result
is obtained in cases of marked slowing
or enfeeblement Of the circulation.
"The third test consists In direct ex-
plOrntion Of the heart by means Of a
stylet. This is Introduced through a
small incislon in one Of the intercostal
spaces. Any movement in the heart is
communicated 10 the stylet."

CAUGHT MAMMA TELLING FlB
Small and Well-Meant white Lie"
Gave Little Girl Opportunity
for Sarcasm.

In certain western city there lives
IA little girl who is a good deal of a
romancer. The truth in her hands be
comes sadly twisted, and is frequently
lost sight of altogether. This propens-
ity for EARNING has bothered her moth
err a great deal She has talked TO the
little girl in a serious way, and not
long ago she told her that even If papa
and mamma didn't find out about her
naughty stories, God knew, because he
was always present. This seemed to
make quite an impression ON the little
maid, and her mamma hoped it would
be lasting.
The family washerwoman, who has
long been a retainer of the household,
gave the little girl fancy matchbox
for a Christmas present. OF course,
the small damsel Immediately wanted
to fin II with matches, and as matches
were the cause of bad burning she
had received not long before, her NAM
ma didn't want her to play with the
new gift. Well. it disappeared after a
day or two-lost perhaps, or stolen,
or possibly given away. II was GER
tainly gone.
A day or two later the washerwoman
was hanging the clothes in the back
yard. and the mistress came out of the
house and spoke to her.
"And has Oracle got her matchbox
yeti" inquired the domestic.
Not wishing to hurt the good wom-
ans feelings the mistress INDUCED in
a small white lie.
"Oh, yes" she said, ats put away
carefully upstairs"
As she turned tn enter the door she
saw Oracle standing In the doorway
with a decidedly sarcastic grin on her
face.
"well. mamma" she said. as her
parent stepped In, 81 guess you must
have thought that God wasn't in the
back yard this morning

A Good Indian.

With all his faults, the American
indian In his best estate has the mighty
virtues Of loyalty and courage. A
touching example of the nobility Of
character that many of them are capa-
Bile of is given in the late John Muir's
Travels in Alaska"
Mr.. Muir describes the coming of
missionaries to the Stckeen Indians of
Fort Wrangell and their success in
Christianizing them. The tribesmen,
he says, were encouraged to accept the
Christian faith by their head chief, but
ne told them he could not himself be-
come II Christian, for this reason:
II wish you to learn this new religion
and teach 1t to your children, SO that
you may all go when you die to that
good heaven country of the white man
and be happy. But 1 am too old to
learn a new religion; and, besides,
many of my people who have died were
bad and foolish people, and, If this
word the missionaries have brought us
Is true, as / think it is, many Of my
people must be in that bad country the
missionaries call hell : and must go
there also. for a Stickeen chief never
deserts his people in time of trouble.
To that bad country, therefore, l will
go, and try to cheer my people and
help them as best 1 can to endure their
nisery."-Youth's Companion.

Science Saves Us All

Scientific explanations Of matters
mundane that go wrong seem usually
to relieve human beings Of personal
responsibility. "Nobody's to blame"
The financial experts have just said
that it is the increase of gold coinage
that has raised the cost of living, put
ting onions in the class of apples, and
apples in the class with dollhouse
grapes; and has doubled the price of
fiannels and made a new pair of
shoes a luxury.
II this is true, who is left to pun
ish for Juggling with the market"
conspiring to mulch the people and
all that? Nobody. We are the vic
tins of an memorable law Of circu-
lating mediums which we hight have
foreseen as soon as Klondike and
witwatersrend began to pour their
auriferous streams into the worlds
mints.
So, too, why shall be go on building
steel cells in which to punish those
poor creatures who fall into lives of
crime. when doctors have agreed with
penologists that, owing to defective
thyroid glands. some men will inevi-
tably be criminals? We cannot try
and convict thyroid gland. What
becomes of the doctrine Of personal
responsibility on which all govern
ments and religions are founded If
every creatures behavior is depending
on the condition of his glands and
other inner organs and not upon his
intelligence
Nay. his very intelligence hangs
upon the thickness or thinness Of his
skull or certain parietal deficiencies
or else upon his liver. lights. pancreas
or one thing or another of which we
know, and he knows but little. No
body to blame; and, only compassion
left as a ruling influence on earth
Verify, our anatomy covers a multi
tude of sins.

WASTE OF MENTAL ENERGY
OF All Forms Of Foolishness the Civ
Ing Way to Anger Is About
the Worst.

II wouldn't be easy to find the per-
son who never makes a careless or un-
kind remark. None of US likes to be
criticized for every chance word we
may happen to utter. Why allow our
selves to become angry at some chance
remark or carelessness Of anOther7
Give him time to recover his good ma
ture.
"A soft answer turneth away wrath"
Very likely the hard word wasn't
meant, anyhow, and was no sooner ut
tered than repented of. Do not lose
your temper because someone else lost
his. It isn't well that two should be
angry at the same time. II someone
really wishes to be mean to you, the
best return you can make is to show
him he can say nothing important
enough to disturb you. 1t is the best
revenge one can take.
Anger is not good for body or mind.
II polsons the blood II disturbs cir
culation; 1t retards digestion. 1t
takes from your vitality and saps
strength. 1t binders you from being
happy or from giving happiness to 9TH
ers. II is a waste of mental energy.
II leaves scar on the soul not easily
effaced. II you would retain your self
respect. keep control of your temper.
Anger is the weapon of the fool.

No Publicity Desired

Much opposition to the bill recently
debated in the House propos:ng to
allow the use Of school buildings in
the city Of Washington by "commun-
ity forums" for the purpose Of dis
cussing social and public questions
appeared to be based on the suspicion
of certain democrats that subjects Of
a political nature might be brought
into the discussions. Considering the
dubious record of the democratic party
it is but natural that its members
hould hesitate in providing opportun-
ity for free expression of the views
Of the people of Washington, who
have suffered much in the way of
increased taxes aand curtailed ap-
preparations from a democratic con-
gress.
