Although physicians assert that the possibility of being buried alive can only occur where a medical examina- tion has not been made, German papers state that a stronger, abso- lutely reliable guaranty for discerning actual death is still demanded. The discovery of a new medium for ascer- taining death, with perfect certainty, will therefore attract attention. It consists in injecting a solution of fluorescine deep into the tissues. If circulation exists the skin and muec- ous membranes become very yellow and the eyes assume the color of emeralds; if the circulation has ceased, none of these results occur. The discoverer, Dr. Icard, proposes that at least two hours before bodies are placed in coffins such an injec- tion with fluorescine be made. If life is not yet extinct, the injection does no’ ‘harm, and the coloring disap- pears.—Medical Record. Spend Much for Beer. Wage earners in Baden, Germany, spend much of their earnings ° for beer, especially at places where credit is extended. A government re- port referring to the subject cites one quarry where many of the men were securing from 6 to 9 quarts a day. A limit of 33; quarts has been fixed by law since the report was made, the cost of that quantity being.from 320 to 25 per cent. of the wages received.

ULCERS FORTHIRTY YEARS Painfal Eruptions From Knees to Feet Seemed Incurable—Cuticura Ends Misery. Another of those remarkable cures by Cuticura, after doctors and all else had failed, is testified to by Mr. M. C. Moss, of Gainesvilie, Texas, in the following letter: “For over thirty years I suffered from painful ulcers and an eruption from my knees to feet, and could find neither doc- tors nor medicine to help me, until I used Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills, which cured me in six months. They helped me the very first time I used them, and I am glad to write this so that others suffering as 1 did ray be saved from misery.” Koreans Like Cigarets. A taste which has enormously de- veloped in Korea of recent years is that for cigarets. Native tobacco is used by the countrymen in their long pipes, but in the cities and even among the laboring classes, when they can afford it, the use of the cigarette has become almost universal.

FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW DUN’S WEEKLY REVIEW Weakness is Noted in Pig Iron, but Confidence is Expressed in Future—Building Active. ‘Warmer weather is needed to re- store normal conditions, both in cities and on the farms. The season opened bright with promise, dealers prepar- ing for a heavy spring business, but abnormally low temperature and ex- cessive moisture retarded consump- tion, and burdensome stocks must be carried over unless accumulations are reduced by clearance sales at bar- gain prices. A few weexs of hot weather would greatly improve the situation, however, particularly as to be reflected in other industries very promptly. A little weakness is noted in pig iron, but most lines of finished steel are in good demand and confidence is expressed in results a month hence, unless theré should be a serious con- troversy regarding wages. Other leading branches of manufacture are making favorable reports, the rise in prices of raw material acting as a stimulus at textile mills, but any ex- cessive inflation. would prove injur- ious. Incomplete returns of railway earnings show an average gain of 7.7 per cent. Foreign commerce at New York for the last week was also fav- orable, exports exceeding those of 1904 by $4,837,389, while imports .showed a small gain of $481,854. The only development, in the coal market is the usual monthly agvance in price of anthracite. Coke ovens are less active, reflecting the reduced output of pig iron furnaces, but contracts are being placed for delivery during the first half of next year. Textile fabrics are stronger in tone, because of the upward tendency of raw ma- terials, and also on account of the limited supply of goods in first hands, often making prompt delivery impossible. Failures for the week in the United States are 198. against 211 last week, 234 the preceding week and 220 the corresponding week last year. Fail- ures in Canada number 29, against 19 last week, 11 the preceding week and 20 last year. : MARKETS. PITTSBURG. Grain, Flour and Feed.

United States Svafem of Lightine Mile tary Post Pronounced Gratifyingly Successful=Six and One-Half Miles of Mains— Sixty-Five Street Lights. ° Chickamauga Park, Ga.,May 31.—The United States. Government has here in operation one of the largest acety- lene gas plants in the worid. "The mil- itary post at the entrance of the his- * torical Chickamauga vattlefield, where thirty thousand Union and Confederate soldiers were lost in the memorable battle of September 19 and 20, 1863, contains about one hundred buildings, the seventy-five principal ones of which are lighted with acetylene. To accom- mains and two miles of service pipes are in use,.while sixty-five street lamps brilliantly. illuminate the avenues of the post.. gs In 1903 the War Department in- stalled a test acetylene plant at Fort Meyer, Virginia. The results were so gratifying and the superiority of the illuminant so evident that the Govern- ment, March 20, 1904, placéd the con- tract for the Chickamauga plant, in which every citizen of the United States should have his pro rata of pride. 1 But the Government has not confined its acceptance of acetylene to this mili- tary post. Since becoming satisfied of the efficiency, superiority and econom- luminant, the United States has in- stalled a number of plants in Indian schools and other Government insti- tutions. Acetylene gas is one of the simplest as well as the most perfect of artificial lights. It is made by the contact of water and carbide (a manufactured product for sale ata nominal price), is absolutely safe and gives a beautiful white light soothing to the eyes and nerves. It can be produced anywhere —in the farm home, the village store, the town hall, the church—and is so easily maintained as to be practical for all classes. It is a matter for national congratu- lation that in beautifying so historic a spot as Chickamauga, nothing but the best, including the lighting system, has been deemed good enough for the American people. First Woman Ordained. . Rev. Antoinette Brown Blackwell, of Elizabeth, N.

The Turkish government has is- sued an order to its customs authorl- ties not to admit any roreign gooas which bear the mark or design of a star. It is supposed that the reason for this is that the representation o. a star is part of the Turkish coat of arms. What Whiskey Does. Mr. S. M. Hussey, in his “Reminis- cences of an Irish Land Agent,” gives the following quotatina from a parish priest’s sermon: “It's whiskey makes you bate your wives; it’s whiskey makes your homes desolate; it’s whiskey makes you shoot your land- lords, and—with emphasis as he thumped the pulpit—it's whiskey makes you miss them.” When He Feels Rich. When a man has paid all his fam- ily bills and has a dollar and a quar ter left over, he feels as if he hae inherited a gold mine.—New Yorx Press. : Railroad Rate Lewislation. Testifying before the Senate Com- mittee at Washington, Interstate Com- merce Commissioner Prouty said in discussing the proposition to give that commission the power to regulate rail- way rates: “I think the railways should make their own rates. I think they should be allowed to develop their own busi- ness. I have never advocated any law, and I am not now in favor of any law, which would put the rate making power into the hands of any commis- sion or any court. While it may be necessary to do that some time, while that is done in some States at the present time, while it is done in some countries, I am opposed to it. The railway rate is property. It is all the property that the railway has got. The rest of its property is not good for anything unless it ean charge a rate. Now it has always scemed to me that when a rate was fixed, if that rate was an unreasonable rate, it deprives the railroad’ company of its property pro tanto. It is not necessary that you should confiscate the property of a railroad; it is not necessary that you should say that it shall not earn three per cent. or four per cent. When you put in a rate that is inherently um- reasonable, you have deprived that company of its rights, of its property, and the Circuit Court of the United States has jurisdiction under the four- teenth amendment to restrain that: I have looked at these cases a great many times, and I can only come to the conclusion that a railroad company is entitled to charge a fair and reasonable rate, and if any order of a commission, if any statute of a State Legislature, takes away that rate, the fourteenth amendment protects the railway com- pany.” No Tainted Money Wanted.

W. E. Curtis, writing on colored men at Harvard, made this observa- tion: There are about a dozen col- ored students at Cambridge at pres- ent coming from different parts of the south. They make no claims to social recognition, and none is offer- ed them; but in the class room, in the “gym,” and on the athletic field there is perfect equality. No colored student wil visit the rooms of a white student unless he is specially invited. Colored students do not expect to be admitted to the social clubs, or to live in the same boarding houses as the white men, although the Harvard baseball team threatened to leave a hotel in Washington last summer be- cause the proprietor wanted - Mat- thews, one of their number, to take his meals in his room. In scholar- ship and in athletics, no distinction is made on account of color, either by the faculty or the students—white or black, the best man wins. a dinner, or any other social func- tion. How He Avoided Trouble. When a Scotch schoolmaster en- tered the temple of learning one morning he read on the blackboard: “Our teacher is a donkey.” The pupils expected there would be a cyclone, but the philosophic peda- gogue contented himself with adding the word “driver,” and opened the school as usual.—Chicago Journal.

Fox-hunting seems to be on the wane in England. Some attribute this to the inroads of the automobile and others to hard times and “the loss of many hunting men during the South African war.” London has dicovered, to its hor- ror, that the. big electric lamps on the facade of the Mansion House, the Lord Mayor's official residence were “made in Germany.” But no colored man ever appears at a ball or: MISS MARIA DUCHARME.
