Trice COc. ,4'i ly SURE SIGN OF DEATH. ONE SIMPLE TEST THAT, IT IS ALLEGED, NEVER FAILS. A Ph j-hIcIhii Who r.aj-s He tl.m Trloi! It In >l<n-e Tlttiit ti Thouxanil < KiplHlnn II I* Mt-dioil uV I'rvveittlitK Premature P.ui-iiil, The question of an absolutely sure sign of dontli bus troubled mankind from ancient times. It bus been most variously answered, but never to eutire satisfaction. The diltieulties-we meet witb are: First, that not all organs of the body die in one moment, and second, tiiat the action of some of tbe vital organs may be so diminished that by ordinary means it appears almost impossible to decide whether the life iii tIivm id in fact extinct or not. The actual causes of physiological death are three: First, cessation of brain function; second, cessation of respiration or failure of the lungs; third, failure of the heart. The llrst, involving immediate death of the central or aniiunl nervous system only, is not at once followed by the inactivity of the peripheral nervous system and its special so called vegetative centers, as long ago was demonstrated by Itrown-Sequard. fcjeldff and others. So the lungs may continue to contract and t \paud, the heart may continue to bent, even if with greatly diminished power. We know further tlmt the life of the skin is not extinct. Hair and nails continue to grow, the stomach continues to digest, the liver to secrete bile, etc. Respecting the second cause of death, we well know that respiration may cease for quite awhile if the brain is not affected and the circulation not interrupted. And of the third cause, by heart failure, the same may be said. So we see that we may speak of true, absolute physiological death only after the cessation of tunef inn nf 1 < Itlhm nanr?i ?IU ??! of least of two of them, the lungs and the heart, without the life action of which the brain certainly cannot operate. Now, as regards respiration, we have very simple means to demonstrate its cessation. So remains, in fact, as the only one to show its true death the in art. This to prove indeed with absolute certainty is quite a difficult problem. I'pon the absence therefore of any and all traces of circulation in the body have been concentrated most experiments. And as regards the same we have to take Into consideration that by disease the heart beats might be diminished to but so few faint pulsations per minute, might become so Imperceptible, t'out without tire aid of special instruments and lotrg continued observations nothing of their existence may ire detected. In the following I shn'l give tire pimple means by which any person easily enough may convince himself of the absence or presence even of the slightest traces of circulation: If we iigifte tight h member of the body?best, for example, a linger between tin* tirst and second joint?In the liviug we will soon notice, beginning almost at once.a reddish coloration of the portiou above the ligature. It becomes darker and darker red and finally assumes a dark bluish red color. The entire upper portion will be thus affected, and only directly around the ligature there will lie a small, colorless. White ring. Now. as sure as tlds discoloration will he observed in the liviug being, as sure will ail traces of it lie i.osoiu mi 111U m-au. i lie diuisii uiseoiorntion occasionally observed of ami hround the linger nails in some corpses is of no intluencc upon, nor does It Interfere in tiie slightest with, the phenomenon and its correct interpretation. The phenomenon of course is easily enough explained in the living by the stagnation of the blond In the veins and the capillaries when a new supply through the arteries and the back flow through the veins is cut off by the ligature. The white ring around the latter is produced by the partial arterial, partial venous amemia. In place of a linger. If. as it at times may happen, the skin seems too thick and horny to show the phenomenon plainly, though this will but seldom occur, one may use the toes, the enrlaps, even the tip of the nose. If desired. The member must be only thin enough iu order to make the lip Ature as tight and perfect as possible. I have used this means in about 1.0.10 to 1,040 cases previous to post uiorlem examinations. In one ease only I observed tho mentioned discoloration, though It was impossible to notice any heart action by any means. I at once resorted to vcneseetion, and, sure enough, the blood Mowed, and after n short time faint heart heals tip to seven per niinuto could be distinguished. Everything wan done to start respiration. Yet it was too lute, and the heart heats withio half an hour gradually diminished. The corpse had been lying for dead for over two hours.?Dr. Theodore Deeeko in Uticn Dress. ICE CREAM. The Pit llndelpti In Vm-lety nnd TbrM tVii)? lu tin!.(> It. One quart cream, one scant cupful sugar, l-'lavor to taste. Philadelphia ice cream is a name generally applied in this country to all Ice creams made with pure cream and no eggs. There are three ways of making this ice cream. l'lrst.?Mix the sugar and flavoring with tho cream ami when the sugar is dlKKolvrd strain it. Into the freezer. Tills is the quickest and easiest method. The ereaiu increases in hulk considerably ami is of a light snowy texture. Second.?Whip the cream until you have taken off a quart of tho froth, mix the sugar and flavoring with the unwhipped cream, strain into the freezer and when partly frozen add the whiotied cream uud freeze again until i stiff. 'Tliis gives n very light delicate texture to the cream. Third.?Heat the cream In a double boiler until scalding hot. Melt the sugar in it and when cold add the flavoring. This is considered by many the best method, as the cream linn a rich body and flavor and a peculiarly smooth, velvety appearance, tt also prevents the cream from turning sour. The cream may he whipped first and the froth removed until you have a pint. Then scald the remainder of the cream with the sugar and when cold add t he* whipped < renin. Thin cream, or single cream, is rich enough for ice crvnui. hut it slvuld be all cream, not (hick cream diluted with milk. When milk is used with thick cream, eggs or llour should he used to thicken the milk, or the milk should be well scalded with the cream. Tito amount of sugar itcotlotl will vary with tlio Havering, coiiehuh s American Kitohou Magazine in giving those Instructions. ABT NEEDLlTcitAFT. ORIGINAL AND BEAUTIFUL C ESIGN FOR EMBROIDERY ON LINEN. Tin* Fnciiiilfl font cntionnlliuul and Presented In n Novel Scheme of Color ? A Tone-lot li intil Oij- to Oriu-p (lit* Daintiest dotird. In these days of liuinitl liont about i the only articles ol' alleged "work" with which dainty lingers toy arc those whose foundation is linen, cool and grateful to the touch. It is therefore an excellent season for adding attractive hits to the store of pretty table furnishings. Original designs are much sought for these. In the accompanying presentment of the fuchsia this motive l'or embroidery is lifted out of ' / / 3* \^\ J /J# \my x%^/ KMBROtI>yi:K.n TF.ACLOTTl. (ho rut of commonplace ami is justified and glorified by the clever pencil of an artist. Observe tlie strict conventionnlity of the arrangement and at the same time the direct adherence to the graceful form of growth and drooping habit which are the natural characteristics of the tlower under treatment. The method as to coloring is equally conventional and is at once indicative and suggestive. It is not proposed to introduce any green into the scheme at all. To the eye of a colorist red always suggests green. It can ho "felt" in the red. although it Is not actually "seen." I'pon this subtle indication therefore the dosign rests as far as green is concerned. First llio coloring. The artist s idea Is that white, red and black only should l>e used, and herein he and many others will be atone, lint it will certainly i>e a master stroke to modify the white :iregards the ground--Hint is to say, the linen on which the stitchery is to ho wrought- -by choosln.tr for it that simile of oyster white wliich Is now so popular In otlier directions. The Idea is tliat the leaves and the buds in the design on the cloth and the corolla petals and buds In the design on the cozy?in fact, all those parts of tlie illustrations which are marked black? should bo worked in rich fuchsia red. wiilic the (lowers, serolly stems ami little starry blossoms on the clotli should !>e worked in white well raised over padding stitches. The largo and small loaves on the cozy as well as the sepals of the fuchsias are to he treated in the same way. The touch of black comes in thus: The whole of the outlines of flowers, leaves, star (lowers, scrolls and little p wdered while sprigs are to bo outlined with the thinnest possible lino of stem stitch in this sable hue. , The craftiness of thin thin black outline cannot bo overestimated as n factor in successful effect. Fine (1st thread must lie used for the broidery of these tilings. The colorings of ilex threads now leave nothing to lie desired either In tinting or variety, and when they are properly used tbev are as glossy and effective as silk. Tlie large, red leaves behind the fuchsias on the teacloth should lie OJtUilNAL TKA CO/Y. worked in stem stiteh and should be kept us flat as possible. For this a fine make of thread will be advisable. The raised petals can be made substantial with a mueh coarser -thread, and the embossed appearance Is given by a feurows of coarse running at itches put in first as a sort of mold or foundation after the fashion of Mountnielllck embroidery. Here satin mItch must be used. It will not be necessary to pad the red petals of t lie flowers on the cony, as the color itself will be sufficiently assertive. It has been said that tea cozies are not In vogue, yet this comfortable English fashion Is each year rather more In evidence with us. L NEW STORE, LOW PRICES.
