The Carl SchUrz monument on Mornlngside Heights, New York, was dedicated in the presence of Civil
war veterans who served with him in the army, including Lieut. Gen. Nelson A. Miles and Gen. Horace Porter,
local German societies, regiments from the local National guard and regulars from nearby forts. Count von
Bernstorff, the German ambassador, represented Germany at the dedication. The monument, which was de-

pedestal bears this inscription: “Carl Schurz, Defender of Liberty and Friend of Human Right.” The statue
surmounting the pedestal is nine feet high, and two large granite seats extend on each side of it. At each end
there is a bas relief depicting in allegory the activities and interests of Schurz’ life.

tober morning. Oleson brought the lit-
tle sloop Alpine back the next morn-

board in the midst of a school of dog-
fish, which had eaten him alive be-
fore the eyes of his helpless compan-
panion.
They were bound for the fishing
grounds of Martinicus island. Freeman
had taken along a shotgun. When

HYPODERMIC RESTORES LIFE
Action of the Heart Can Be Prolonged
After Death, Says French
Physician.
Paris, France.—Death is by no
means the sudden change which our
minds, laden with metaphysical tradi-
tion, imagine. We talk of something
—the soul—flying away from the
body. It is seemingly all over. But
it may not be, concedes the official
bulletin of the French Academy of
Medicine. A well known doctor has
shown that every function of life save
consciousness may be kept up. This
authority sees nothing extravagant in
the idea that medical science may
some day go a step farther. It may
restore consciousness even after- It
has been pronounced to be extinct—
provided fundamental chemical trans-
formations have not supervened. For
a period long as a decade French
physicians have said it is possible to
restore the action of the heart after
“death” by means fo hypodermic in-
lections. Even in so-called sudden
ieatb there is a period which In
jumped into the dory and started to
pick up his game.
There was a shout, a splash, and
Freeman was struggling in the water.
In reaching over the side of the dory
he had lost his balance and fallen into
the choppy sea. In a moment the hun-
gry, sharkish dogs were after him.
The opening paragraph tells all there
is to tell.
Many stories are related to show
the ferocity of the dogfish. It was not
more than a dozen years ago that two
New York yachtsmen were lolling
along in a sloop yacht in Penobscot
bay one July afternoon. One of the
yachtsman, a physician named Bow-
ker, decided to take a plunge. He
stripped and dived off the bow of the
sloop, intending to pull himself into
the tender trailing behind as It passed
him. He had scarcely hit the water
before he let out a yell. He just
managed to catch the gunwale of the
rowboat when his companion reach-
ed him and hauled him in. Three ugly
wounds showed in his legs where the
voracious dogfish had bitten out
chunks. He was taken into Rockland
where a physician treated him for
several weeks before he was out of
danger.
That the extermination or at least
the thinning out of the dogfish is prac-
ticable has been demonstrated. Thirty-
five years ago the old Gloucester
schooner Water Lily, according to
Fred Lewis of Portland, who was a
member of the crew, sailed from the
Massachusetts port iu command of
Capt. George E. Robinson on an ex-
perimental trip.
The Water Lily proceeded to Kettle
Bottom, about i5 miles off Orr’s Island.
On the first day the high line dory
from 8 a. m. to 3 p. m. had caught
1,300 dogfish. From the total dogfish
catch on the first day 285 buckets of
livers were cut. Livers then brought
French medical literature is called
"psychic twilight.”
The case most in point, bearing up-
on the whole subject, is that of a late
noted French duke. He was a con-
spicuous figure in the old legitimist
club life of the French capital. He
died recently at 10 o'clock at night.
His younger son would be of age at
midnight. For the sake of the two
hours—the younger son being still an
Infant In the eyes of the law—it seem-
ed as if the whole of the duke’s estate
must be tied up in endless litigation.
But the family lawyers—they were at
the bedside—pinned their faith In the
new discoveries regarding death. They
made manifest to the physicians the
tremendous legal consequences of the
duke’s death before midnight.
Hypodermic injections were resort-
ed to. The heart began to beat again,
the temperature of the body went up,
breathing was restored. In fact, the
body carne hack to “life,” and In this
state It was kept until a quarter of an
hour after midnight. A magistrate
had been called to the house to see to
the interests of the “infant ward.” He
witnessed the revival from seeming
death to Ufa.
MAYOR HOLDS UP A WEDDING
New Jersey Man’s Nerve Fails at*
Crucial Moment In His First
Ceremony.
/
Union Hill, N. J.—"I’ll be hanged
if I, as mayor of North Bergen, will
marry my brother-in-law!” shouted
Mayor Adolph Asmus, as he flung
down his ritual in front of the bridal
party at his home on the boulevard
at North Bergen.
About 150 guests from New York
and various parts of Jersey were gath-
ered to see the mayor perform his
first wedding ceremony by uniting
Miss Mabelle Nafe of Brooklyn and
Alexander Moore of North Bergen.
The mayor, in spite of the pleadings
of his young wife and the solicitations
of the guests, refused to act as min-
ister.
Excitement reigned as the bride im-
plored the mayor to go on with the
ceremony. He was obstinate, and
after an hour’s waiting Judge J. L.
Mednia of the recorder’s court of
North Bergen was summoned, and he
tied the knot. The bride and groom
are now on their way to Bermuda.
“Never again,” said the mayor.' “I
promised to marry the couple to
please my wife, but at the last min-
ute my nerve failed me.”
Bride May Die From Dancing.
Beaver Falls, Pa.—Mrs. John Km,
lus,- a bride of three days, is in a crit-
ical condition, and may die, as a re-
sult of dancing too much during her
wedding festivities. The Polish cus-
tom of dancing with the bride for $1
a dance is responsible. During the
two hundred and ninety-third dance,
with 293 silver dollars constituting the
bride’s dowry, Mrs. Kuzlus collapsed.

London.—Alice Maud Meadows, a
novelist, was accidentally drowned re-
cently at. Red Hill, a few miles from
London, while attempting to rescue
her dog, which had fallen into the
water. She b.egan to write when 14
years of age. Her publications in-
clude “The Infatuation of Marcella,”

Chicago Servants Form Union.
Chicago.—Two afternoons a week
off and the right to entertain company
in the parlor without interference
from the family are among the de-
mands to be made by domestic ser-
vants, who have just organized a
union. As soon as the organziation is
of sufficient strength to control the
situation, better working condition?
will be demanded, together with reg
ular hours of work.
Use of Hard or Soft Is Something for
Serious Consideration When
Cooking Is in Order.
All cooks do not understand the dif-
ferent effects produced by hard and
Boft water in cooking meat and veg-
etables. Peas and beans cooked in
bard water, containing lime or gyp-
sum, will not boil tender, because
these substances harden vegetable
casein. Many vegetables, as onions,
boil nearly tasteless in soft water, be-
cause all the flavor is boiled out. The
addition of salt often checks this, as
in the case of onionB, causing the
vegetables to retain their peculiar
flavoring principles, besides such nu-
tritious matter as might be lost in soft
water. For extracting the juice of
meat to make a broth or soup, soft
water, unsalted, and cold at first, is
the best, for it much more readily
penetrates the tissue, but for boiling,
where the juices should be retained,
hard water, or soft water salted, is
preferable. The meat should be put
in while the water is boiling, so as to
seal up the pores at once.
li you are in doubt about the wa-
ter ,the common test is soap. Hard
water will not make a suds freely,
while soft water will. Once acquaint-
ed with the nature of the cooking wa-
ter, you can govern yourself accord-
ingly in cooking.
GOOD FOR AFTERNOON TEA
Dainty Chocolate Cake That Has the
Indorsement of the Best French
Cooks.
A little French chocolate cake

and stir the contents for about ten
minutes, then add two eggs, one at a
time. Beat the mixture up with a
wooden spoon and put it aside to cool.
Butter a baking sheet, lay the paste
on it with a teaspoon in small round
balls, plum size. Bake about twenty
minutes in a moderate oven. When
cold make an incision in the side of
each and fill with whipped cream
flavored with vanilla. Before; serving
glaze each separately with ^hocolate
icing.

ing powder. Mix thoroughly, add one

Apples and Red Jelly.
Take six good-sized apples and core
them. Put two cloves into each apple
