AOVEL TEST OF DEATH. The Dtl or frfh Physician WkAli leaa to Do Antf AU DoiM. Horror of being buried alive is com mon to the whole human race, and from time immemorial experiments have been in progress with the view of making such a terrible fate impossible. Some physician maintain that satis factory test can also be made by the use of Roentgen rays, but it is not everyone who has the facilities for making such test, whereas any one can make a test on the. plan de vised by Dr. Icard, a physician of Mar seilles, France. The doctor use fluo reacin, the well-known coloring materi al, and his experiments have proven so successful that they have won for him the approval of the French Acad emy of Sciences. Fluoreaein injected into the human body produces abso lutely no effect if the body is dead, whereas it produces a most surprising effectif the body i alive. Dr. Icard use a solution of it which is so strong that a single gramme is able to color 40,000 quarts of water. If a little of this solution is injected under the skin of a living person in two minutes the skin, and especially the mucous membranes, wi.ll become much decolored, and the person will present i ne appearance or one sutienng from an acute attack of jaundice. More over, the eyes will become of a green ish color and the pupils will also be come invisible. These symptom?" will remain for one or possibly two hours and then will grndnally disappear. Since fluoresc!" produces t!ii.- effect on a living body it naturally follows, ac cording to Dr. Icard, that any body on which it produces no effect must be dead. SOME FACTS ABOUT LONDON.

Tkt Jeffersoa Half-Dollar of 1904 Is Iho rat Pl of Aar Iom Hoir, According to experienced coin, col lectors and numismatists the rarest of American silver coins is the 1804 dol lar and half dollar, issued during Jef ferson's administration. Several of these coins turned up recently. The rarest of American gold coins are the $2, $5, $10 and $20 gold pieces of 1822, while in postage stamps the rarest are the peculiar 1, 2 and five-cent stamps of 18C2. These stamps are perfectly round and fit into a little circular tin shield, which, by arrangement with the government, were made at the time by a manufacturer of cooking flavors of the name of Bennett, whose advertisement appears on the back. Protecting the face of the stamp from moisture or from being soiled or torn is a circular disk of mica, that fits un der the rim of the melal shield, hold ing the stamp firmly in place. These stamps were issued for the soldiers of the union army, and were accepted in payment for small pur chases at their full face value and as readily as coins. Protected by the transparent mica disk, through which one could see the denomination of the i stamn on one side find bv a tin shield on the other, they could be carried by the soldiers in any pocket through rain anil sun without injury to the stamp inclosed within. This curious stamp case was invented by Hurnett. When anyone wanted to use the stamp on a letter he tore off the mica cover ing and took out the stamp, throwing away the tin shield, which was of no value in itself. These stamps are now very rare. GEIf. PUTNAM'S TOMBSTONE. I,ot-Ut (irareatone Turns T'p In an Old Stone Walk of aa Ohio Residence, A valuable historical discovery waft made in this city lately when the orig inal tombstone commemorating the death of (Jen. Kufus Putnam was found among the st ones of a n old st one walk which was taken up to be re placed by a new one. A few people knew that the stone had existed, but it was lost half a century uiro, and no one knew where it had gone, sas a Marietta (O.) correspondence of the Cincinnati Knquirer. There has been an old stone walk laid across the Jawn of the property that once formed a portion of the Putnam residence on the outskirts of the city. The stone immediately in front of the doorstep proved to be the long lost monument, and when the workmen turned it over the inscription was plainly visible. The stone is of marble, and is five feet two inches long, two feet wide and two inches thick. The tramp of many feet has worn its uninscribed face, but the chiseled side is as well preserved as though it was cut but n few years ago. Gen. Putnam led a party of adven turous pilgrims that left New England and settled at Marietta, which was the beginning of the magnificent march of civilization that has given the Unit ed States and world the splendor of our great northwest. Gen. Putnam lived the remainder of his days at Marietta, and died on May 4, 1S2-). in his eighty-se enth year. The above cut is a fac simile of the stone and in scription. 1 1 ii in or of the Schoolroom.

(It lYeeeaaax? for All Who WUk to 11 T m Bmerarctto ltd Vsefol Life. It 13 the duty of all to look on the bright side. If we insist on walking in the shade when the sun is shining on the other side of the road it is only natural that we do not feel its warmth. We all know what a boon and a benefactor to society cheerful people are. It does one good to hear them speak, says the Home Maga zine. They seem to live in a higher, happier sphere, and through all their troubles are yet able to enjoy lif .' thoroughly. It may be because they have learnt to appreciate and to be thankful for the many little bless ings they receive every moment of their life. Cheerfulness is quite nec essary for all who wish to live an en ergetic and useful life. To the old. the infirm and the unhappy, a cheer ful person imparts hope and happi ness and life. Some people's souls seem to have a strong affinity for whatever there is in the outer world capable of ministering to joy; they detect its presence by a special in stinct, they extract it from the most unlikely objects. Now there is a dis tinction betwixt gayety, mirth or animation, and true cheerfulness; these first will last for a little time, but sooner or later reaction will come, or as soon as the reason of the happiness is removed; true cheerful ness through rain or sunshine re mains, for even in overshadowing darkness it finds some light left. Finally, if all would try to cultivate the spirit of true cheerfulness, how much brighter this world would be. Time would fly quickly, and there would Ik. no more of those long days which seem to have no ending. I ii fold Voiir Natural Kaenltla. There is no honest calling so hum ble that it may not be raised a thousandfold by unfolding one's natural faculties. For example, how much more, a chemist sees in the piece of iron or steel he works upon than does a man who knows noth ing of its chemistry, composition, or possibilities. His educated mind sees possibilities in the molecules of the bar; he know.s of their motion, while the other man sees only a dead mass which, he thinks, could not inteiest anyone. The former understands the laws oi force, attraction, repul sion, adhesion and cohesion; the properties of the molecules in vari ous metals are, to him, sources of entertainment and pleasure, while ,the other man understands nothing of the chemical ingredients or nat ural philosophy of the bar, and stares at it blankly without interest.

Are often capable of doing injury to less positive people, the very emphasis of their affirmation making up for lack of argument and want of evidence. And the worst of all dogmatists are those doctors who, harking back to some old dogma of the schools, insist that certain patients are beyond all medical help, because, forsooth, their diseases are beyond the limited medical know ledge of the dogmatist. "When t-e physicians had given me up I was cured by the use of Dr. Pierce'9 Golden Medical Discovery." That state ment, varied sometimes in form but identical in fact, is one of the common expressions found in the letters of those cured by "Golden Medical Discovery." Sometimes the statement runs; "I was given up by four doctors," showing a desperate effort to find relief in local Cractitioners. But however the story egins, it almost invariably euds with the statement, " I am perfectly cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery." Persons suffering from " weak" lungs, hemorrhages, deep-seated cough, ema ciation and weakness, have been restored to perfect health by the "Discovery." The philosophy of the cures effected by this marvelous medicine is not hard to understand. Life is sustained by food, digested and assimilated. The basis of health is a good appetite and a sound digestion. In almost all case9 of disease loss of appetite is an early symp tom, and this is promptly followed by a wasting of the flesh. For some cause the food eaten is not being converted into nutrition and the body and its or gans, being starved, must grow weak. There is only one way to get strength and that is by food. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery heals diseases of the stomach and allied organs of digestion and nutrition, so enabling the body to assimilate the needed nourishment. Thus various forms of "weakness," so called, are cured by the "Discovery" "weak" lungs, "weak" heart, "weak" nerves, "weak" or sluggish liver, etc., because the organs are made strong by food, which is perfectly digested and assimilated after the "Discovery" has healed the diseases of the stomach and associated organs of digestion and nu trition.

Mf la sv Lasdixn Ks) A ourious piece of mechanical luxury has been set up in Sir Jamee Rlyth' home in Portland place, London, by mean of which the dining-room can noielesly double its size. One saun ters down to drink a cup of coffee (so a contemporary describes it), and finds a spacious and well-proportioned room papered in warm crimson and hung with handsome pictures. There is a floor of communication with the ad joining room, on either side of which hangs a large picture in a heavy gold frame. The floor is polished, end a thick carpet comes within a yard of the wall all round. The eoffe is ex cellent, but one doubts its potency when, on turning round', one is con fronted by the partitioning wall, doors, pictures, and all half way through the floor! Silently it sinks be low, and no Haw in the polished and even floor is perceptible! Only the. crimson walls are twice as long, and there are bordered .carpets. It is th most perfect triumph of mechanical skill. BEST FOR THE BOWELS If von linven't a refirulnr. healthy moveniont of ths bowels every diiy, you'ro ill or will be.
