I ■ I , In Time* ot Plague and PecUlenoe the Greetent Dancer ot Premature Burial Kxtate-Tbe Death Tert That le Applied In Vienna. Most of us have a lingering love of life, and the thought that there is just the barest possibility of being buried alive Bends a shudder through us. Medical men know that the human body in time of illness and at other times, too,’ is liable to assume all the outward appearances of death without the final separation having actually taken place. There are the coma, cata leptic and other forms of the uncon scious state, each one bringing in its trend the very simulation of death itself. “Happily, a medical man nowadays, ” said a physician to a reporter, “expe riences no difficulty in declaring his pa tient to be dead, as a general rule, but it may perhaps happen once in his life time that he may have a doubt, in which case conviction either way fol lows upon his findings, which are sim ple and conclusive, and in which he cannot be mistaken. “It is unfortunately true that there are thousands of nervous people now walking about in fear of being buried alive, this morbid conviction coming about through reading of an isolated case happening here and there, where perhaps some one has had a narrow es cape of being subjected to a living burial “These ’escapes’ greatly outnumber those of the actual occurrence itself. The cataleptic usually show signs of life just in the nick of time to disap point the undertakers and to relieve sor rowing friends. “Os course, much of the evidence on which the allegation of premature bnrial is based depends on the fact that bodies on exhumation have been occa sionally found distorted, thereby foster ing the notion that this or that occu pant of the coffin has died from suffo cation, a theory which is supported by the favorable condition of other ex humed bodies. “But the idea is altogether wrong, in fact and in principle. It is well known among those who have made it a study that tho apparent distortions, instead of demonstrating a living burial, pure ly depend upon natural causes brought about by decomposition, the influence of which is sufficiently strong enough to bulge out, and even burst, leaden coffins. This phenomenon does not hap pen in every case, but it does in a great many. “No, no! I shall not go so far as to say that a premature burial has never taken place, but it has not occurred so often as is thought. I dare say it may occur in times of plagues and pesti lences, where the presumed dead are buried within a few hours of death. That is where much mischief lies. But when panic prevails where does thought come in? “In plagues, such as cholera, the state of collapse is so profound that it may perfectly simulate death itself, but the custom of burying the dead on the day of death is fortunately on the wane, even during advanced epidemics. It is probable that in the absence of medical aid in panic times in country places abroad it has led to living burial—in deed it must have done. But the last end of all under such conditions is mer ciful, for it must not be forgotten that if you are 'unconscious’ only while be ing hermetically sealed in your coffin you will never again experience volun tary motion or sensation. “However, where the doctor can be consulted, living burial is impossible even in a cholera panic, for there are certain bodily movements which gener ally occur after death from cholera, in the absence of which a medical man would hesitate to certify for burial. “In ages gone by and in uncivilized countries still it is possible that uncon scious cataleptics, or persons drugged to apparent death, may have been and perhaps still are occasionally buried alive, but I do not believe that in our own country or in any civilized land such events are possible. “In Vienna the custom prevails of taking a body to the mortuary on the eve of burial, where it is 'tested.* Thimbles are placed on the fingers ot the dead, to which are attached wires connected with the mortuary bells. “Have the bells ever rung? Yes, once. “It is impossible for a doctor to mis take unconsciousness in its varied forms for death. . z “Some time ago it was suggested that a law should be passed making it com pulsory for a medical man to test bodies before giving a certificate of death. Testing by electricity was thought of, but it is an open question yet whether electricity kills or only stuffs. At all events, we in this country are not con vinced that such a test would be satis factory or afford sufficient evidence of death, although it has its value.’ On the other hand, I don’t think legislation of this kind is necessary. It would cer tainly reflect upon the medical profes sion. “The Viennese custom is a wise one, and I should like to see it more gener ally adopted.’’—Pearson’s Weekly. , The Poor Kdltor.

Many strangers and people unknown to Schaefer naturally strolled iff; many, too, who probably did not know him. But it made no difference to Schaefer. Sometimes strangers would desire to play for money, but this Schaefer would never do. To all such propositions he would say: ’No, I won’t play for mon ey, but I’ll tell you what I will do—l will play a game, the loser to treat the housa* ji “One day an old farmer entered the place, and after wandering about look ing at the pictures on the walls and ex amining tiie tables he asked if there was any one present who would like to play him a game of Millards. Schaefer, as usual, said that he would play the stranger. “ ‘How much shall we play for?’ ask ed the fanner. z “‘I never play for money,’ replied Schaefer, ‘but I will play you for the drinks for the house. ’ ‘“All right, ’ said the farmer. 'How many points shall we play?’ “ ‘Oh,’ replied Schaefer demurely in all the consciousness of his superior powers, ‘we’ll just play until you are satisfied, and we will call that a game. ’ “The crowd smiled as the players prepared for the contest. The balls were placed on the table, :md Schaefer brought out his favorite cue, and it fell to his lot to open the game. “The opening shot in a billiard game is a somewhat difficult one, as most players know, and Schaefer, probably through indifference, missed it He not .only missed it, but left the balls close together near one of the cushions. It was what is termed in billiard parlance a ‘set up.’ “The old farmer carefully chalked his cue, and after deliberation made the shot. He then gazed at the balls a mo ment, laid down his cue and exclaimed: “ ‘I am satisfied. ’ “The score was then 1 to 0 in favor of the old farmer, but as Schaefer had agreed tr make the game as long or short as the farmer desired he had to be satisfied. Schaefar of course had to in vite all present, including his conqueror, to partake of the hospitality of the house. As the crowd laughed and drank Schaefer remarked that the game was the shortest he had ever played, and probably the shortest on record. ’ ’ —New York Tribune. LOVED LIFE TOO WELL. Ancient Matches Indian Who Rebelled Against Being Sacrificed. One of the repulsive features of the laws under which the Natchez Indians were governed was that when a mem ber of the royal family of the nation died it was necessary that several others of the people should accompany him to the tomb by suffering death at the hands of executioners. When the sun,” the hereditary chief of the whole nation, died, all iris wives, in case he were provided with more than one, and also several of his sub jects, were obliged to follow him into the vale of shadows The “littlesuns,” secondary shiefs, and also members of the royal family, likewise claimed, when dying, their tribute of death from the living. In addition to this, the in exorable law also condemned to death any man of the Natchez race who had married a girl of the royal line of the “suna” On the occasion of her death he was called upqn to accompany her. “I will narrate to you upon this sub ject,” writes an old French chronicler of Louisiana, ‘.'the story of an Indian who was not in a humor to submit to this law. His name was Etteacteal. He had contracted an alliance with the ‘suns.’ The honor came near having a fatal result for him. His wife fell sick, and as soon as he perceived that she was approaching her end he took to flight, embarking in a pirogue on the Mississippi, and sought a refuge in New Orleans. He placed himself under the protection of the governor, who was at that time M. de Bienville, offering him self to be the governor’s hunter. The governor accepted his services, and in terested himself in his behalf with the . Natchez, w*ho declared, in answer, that he had nothing to fear, inasmuch as the ceremony was over, and as he had not been present when it took place he was no longer available as a candidate for execution. ’ ’ —New Orleans Picayune. Flower Painters. About the last literary work complet ed by the late Cora Stuart Wheeler was a beautiful tribute to “Same Court Painters to Queen Rose” published in The Woman’s Home Companion, in which she says: “As a rule, women make the best flower painters. The men who excel in this branch of art are comparatively few, even when we consider the small number of artists of both sexes who have acquired reputation in the pictur ing of flowers. The reason is not diffi cult to see. The average woman has a fondness for flowers which brings her into the closest sympathy with them and enables her to appreciate and un derstand them as men seldom do. In the interpretation of certain subtle phases of floral life her sensitive tem perament and the peculiarly sympathetic feeling that she is apt to taring to her labor of love especially qualify her for engaging in this department of picture making In point of technical ability some marvelously clever work has been deme by artists of the gentler sex iff the reproduction of flowers and in the treatment of difficult subjects. ” A Bad Bulnaia*.

Divine Service ea Sunday Brtwd a Ca!Ud Statw Mea-ofwnr sad How It Is Conducted -The Church Kn.lyo M d IU Meaning - The Chaplain. : I When there is seen flying from the gaff of a United States man-of-war a small, white triangular pennant, bear ing on its field a blue Greek cross near the pike or halyard, it is a signal that divine service is being held on board. “Rig church!” is one of the regular na val orders, issued usa.illy at about 10:80 on Sunday morning. Church is “rigged” in various placed according to the construction of the ves sel and according to lhe weather condi tions. If tho day is fine and not too cold, the quarter deck will probably be selected, although in seme ships it is customary to hold tho service on the forward part of the gnn deck. In stormy weather the berth deck below is used, where the men may Lo under shelter, though they are more cramped for room. Assuming that the seryioe is to bo held on the quarter deck, the arrange ments for it will proceed about like this: When the bugler gives the signal, the “church ensign” is hoisted to the gaff, and some of the men, under the direction of an officer, bestir themselves briskly in making the simple prepara tions which are necessary. A table or desk, covered with the American flag, is placed at the end of the quarter deck for the chaplain. A few wardroom chairs are brought up from below and ranged along the starboard side, where the officers are to assemble, and benches or capstan bars resting on buckets make seats for tho crew on the port side. The organ— for every ship that has a chaplain is provided with an instrument of this nature—is put in a convenient place. If there is a band, and its serv ices arc desired, a few musicians ore se lected and stationed near by. Then the ship’s bell is tolled for about five min utes, giving the officers and men, wher ever they may be on board, sufficient time to assemble, if they are so inclined. Tho boatswain may call down the hatchways “Silence, fore and aft, dur ing divine service!” but it is well un derstood by the entire crew that the ship must be quiet now for about three quarters of an hour. Finally the bell stops, the captain, after a glance around, makes a sign to the chaplain that all is ready, and the service begins. How it is conducted depends upon the denomination to which the chaplain belongs, and various sects are represent ed among the naval clergymen. The singing, accompanied by the organ, which is played either by an officer or by some musician among the crew, is generally fine. The men enjoy it, and their voices ring out strong and fresh in the open air. During the prayers they are required to remove their caps, but throughout the rest of the service they may remain covered. When it is over, the order to “Pipe down!” is given, and church is “unrigged.” Sometimes an evening service is also held, but this is not the general custom. Attendance at church on the warships is of course not compulsory, but the offi cers are expected to attend byway of furnishing an example, and most of them usually da accompanied by per haps about half the crew—sometimes more and sometimes less. " But by no means all the ships of the navy are provided with chaplains. For the 60 or more war vessels now effective for service there are fewer than 80 chaplains, or less than one for every two ships. They are attached to the lar gest and most important vessels, where their ministrations may reach the great est number of persons. A queer incident happened a few years ago, when one of the modern cruisers was put into commission. It had been intended that she should carry a chaplain, bnt when the officers* quar ters were completed it was found that his room had been entirely overlooked. No accommodation for him thus being available, the ship put to sea without a chaplain and did not have cue for at least two years. In an action the chaplain’s duties are with the sick and wounded. Occasion ally, however, his aid has been required at the guns, and in many instances the chaplains have proved themselves hero ic fighters as well as good preachers. In the old days of the navy the chaplain wore the full uniform ot his rank—lieu tenant, lieutenant commander or com mander—but it is now customary for him to wear a suit of black or the regu lar costume of whatever church he rep resents, sometimes with the insignia of his rank upon his sleeve.—New York Tribune. Th« Army Officer's Trenk. The army officer’s trunk, which is an article of limited but regular sale in peace times, being sold chiefly to regu lar army officers, is a stout, well made trunk of rather generous proportions, so divided inside as to afford spaces for both military and civilian attire. There is a place for. an officer’s chapeau and one for the silk hat of a civilian and room far the different clothing, and the trunk is large enough to admit a sword laid diagonally. A trunk ot this sort is made not of sole leather, as might be supposed, to withstand rough wear, but with a rigid frame, so that it am be roped or strapped on to a load or packed with other things piled on it in the ex igsndeaef wagon or other transporta tion without being crashed or damaged. —New York Sun. Broadly speaking, the essential differ ence between merchant ships and war ships is that the former are designed to carry their loads or principal portions thereof low down in the hold, whereas warships have to carry their heavy bur dens of armor and armament high up ou their sMetr . ; v r amanw anq vmiaren, .r, 1 Uy I' /UH 1 rvP.Cr f ilrl. - ■■ "'toakrtco Ji “stion H HT6 H Opnini.MGHihine nor Mineral.
