CONSCIOl'S IN (X)FFIN. Old Man Makes Nois« Before Being Buried Alive. An old fanner named C.hnudni was buried alive lately at Ihe \'illage of Sur- 'lol. in the Ljondes, Frar.ce. He (ell ill a forlniglil at!o, and afler- iward lnps«l into a stale of coma, wliii;h was rnkslnken for death. When the cof- 'llii was lowered Into the grave the liy- jfitanders lietird raps and moans coming from within. They run to tell the Mayor, and when h."! arrived, half an hour later, the lid t'f the c^lTin was wrenched open. The man was dead, but tlie cl'.un(,'e<l aiul .agonized expression on his face showed 'that he had regained consciousness after hi \va.s plac'd in the colfin. A similar incident occurred recently al Luex. in .S<\voy. Jean CVdard, a man cf 76, fell into 3 swcon, and remaLned unconscious an long that he was believed 'lo be dead. His neighbors wrappetl him In a shroud, and placed lighted candles at the loot and head of the bed, while the women recited prayers for his soul. Suddenly the man sal up and looke<l around him in astonishment. The wo- men sci-eumed and lltxl from the cottage, thinking they had seen a ghost. Ulti- imilely some peasants were found bold enough to venture into the cottage. wh<,'re they soon assured themselves that the old man was really living. ^M Nurses' and Mothers' Treasure â€" safest rejfulator for baby.

Legacies have been having ill effects in lx)ndon of late. As a sort of sequel to the story which was re<'snily reported of an aiistocralic young EngUshman who was left a fortune of -SI 10.000 and ex- changed 11 all for experience, there comes to light another pathetically inter- esting case. It is that of Mrs. Annie Hearn, a poor woman of South London who with her hasband had been left the free use of a small room and who was s.T wonted by government demands for an inheritance tax of $60. that she finally ended her hfe by taking ammonia. The story was told by Michael Hearn. Ihe woman's husband, at the coroner's inquest, and the man's simple tale is a severe indictment against British official- dom for its pettiness in pressing the poor and half-starved couple for Ihe succes- sion duty. Michael Hearn himself was .VI weak' and ill when he entered the witness box that he could not stand. He told Ihe court that he had been out of work for three months, and all that h« and his wife had to live on was two shillings and sixpence (62 cents) a week. T'his, he said, had been given them by a Roman Catholic priest. He said Ihe owner of the house in which they lived had died recently, leaving a will by which he and his wife were to be allowed to live in the small room they occupied rent free. While they were struggling along on the verge of starvation, the government tax col- lectors were presing them for the $60 succession duty on the legacy. The wife was fearfully worried by Ihe government demands aiid feared less the officials should take away the one lillle room they had to call their own and turn them into the street. Completely lo blacken their sky. the heir to Ihe house was aUo trying to obtain possession of llio room occupied by the stan-ing couple. The other day, after weeks of worry and approaching stnn-alion, Ihe woman set herself fr<'e from the hounding lax collector by drinking some liniment con- taining animonia. The jury returned a verdict of "Suicide during temporary in- sanity caused by worry and semi-starva- tion accelerated greatly by worry."
