City ? Is coercion sometbing they have never known in Toronto? Have they no bve-laws, no bobbies, no Mowatt myrmi- dons? Happy city! May a Torootonian turn his sidewalk into a skating rink, and none to say him nay ? May he keep a dog without a license? May he buy whiskey sell whiskey or run a_ Street car On Sunday, and none to coerce | him into betier habits ? Toronto must be as free aw the darkest corner of the dark lcontinent! In some places “corcion” seems to be inseparable from social ex- istence, There are cities not so blest as | Toronto in which life from the time the doctor helps into it until tre time he helps yon out of it, is only made tolerable by a little gentle coercion. What are the seven ages of man but seven ages of coer-

cion ? “At first the infant Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms.”

Two victims of coercion. “And then the whining schoolboy with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail, Unwillingly to school.”

In free Toronto they would make the school come to the boy, rather than coerce the poor boy.

“And then the lover, Signing ile furnace, with a woeful ballad Made to his mistress’ eyebrow.”

Now aman begins to know something

“Then the soldier.” What isa soldier’s life, but coercing ‘and being coerced? Itis only in “Pina- fore’ and in Toronto that the word of command is followed by “if you please.

Fancy the Toronto magistrate politely, ‘asking the prisoner (we beg pardon) the ‘defendant, at the bar, “Would you

‘Into the lean and slippered pantaloon” ‘who, if he is rich, coerces all his friends and if he isn’t is coerced by them. The only escape from coercion is the grave, and that loses half its terrors when we reslize how much it must be like Toronto.

i MARCH MAGAZINES,

icf Lippincott’s is “A Whim and a Chance,” by William T. Nicholls, already favorably known to the readers of this {magazine. It turns on a Circumstance | pecuhar, but not without precedent in real ‘life, to find clues to property which jas imysteriously disappeared with the own- 'er’s death. Clare E. Robie sketches sharply and not admiringly the portrait of \\4 Leader.” Other short stories, both jagreeably light, are “ Mis’ Pettigrew’s Sil- iver Tea Set,” by Judith Spencer, and i“Henry.” by Mary Stewart Cutting. Oli- ver McKee considers a topic now attract- ing general interest, the reJative merits and disaivantages of “The Horse or the Motor.” The architectural series is con ‘tinued by Louis H Sullivan, whose \theme is “The Tall Office Buiiding Artis- ‘tically Considered.” Emily Bailey Stone | presents a picture of “Household Life in | Another Ceniurv”—not the twentieth, but ‘the fifteenth. Edward Fuller writes ser- jiously and somewhat anxiously about “The Decadent Novel,” and hardly dares t» hope for another Jane Austen. Three lilies supply a sort of domestic trilogy. vean Wright offers *A Little Eisay on

' The complete novel in the March issue }

Evolution of the Wedding Cake;” and Frances Courtenay Baylor has something to say “About Widows,” with a view to their better provision in advance. The poetry of the number is by Carrie Blake Morgan, Clinton Scollard and Richard Burton.

In McClure’s Magazine for March is brought to light a speech of 1838 by Abraham Lincoln, which the biographers until now, seemingly, have known notb- ing of, though it contains passages still of the highest interest. For example, of pcliticians, Lincoln says: “A set of men who have interests aside from the interests of the people, and who, to say the most of them, are, taken as a mass, at least one long step removed from hovest men. I tay this with the g:ester freedom, becanse, being a politician myself, none can regard it as personal.” There are also an amuse- ingly judicious love proposal of Lincoln’s, and some lively reminiscences ot him as the leader in a succes-ful manceuvre to establish the State capital at Springfield, and as a young Jawyer in that smart, new town. The pictures are numerons, and include four portraits of Linco!n.

Col. John Hay contributes an interest- ing paper on Hilsworth, the young hero killed at the beginning of the war. On his twenty-second birthday Ellsworth he- gau a diary, “because,” as he wrote, “my life has been, and bids fair to be, such a jumble of strange incidents that, should I become anybody or anything, this will be useful as a means of showing how much suiering and temptation a man may undergo and still keep clear of despair and vice.” Col. Hay gives extracts from this diary, and adds reminiscences from his own personal intimacy with Ellsworth. The paper is fully illustrated,

Attory by Kipling that breathes the br.ath of life int» every plate and rivet of a great ship, and makes it an all but human community, striving, straining and gossiping, is a feature of the number. Scarcely less notable are a poem, “ Cy and J,” by Euzene Field,” (‘ Cy” being that hearty tard of the “rail,” Cy War- man), a poem by Robert Louis Stevenson,

and astory by Robert Barr. Cleveland Moffit, in a profusely illustrated article, tells how to make and fly

the modern kite, which, shora of the old- time tail, goes more than a wile into the air, and jifts men, takes photographs, transmits weather reports, and bids fair totake ahand in the making of war. Mr. Will H. Low adds a new chapter on the great paintings of the century, and Elizabeth Stuart Phelps relates how, hay- ing made her way into the leading maga- zines only to find that one could not live by “ magazine stories alone,” she wrote more than a dozen Sunday School books.

Addressing the Irish National ‘'edera- tion League at Dublin on Thursday, Tim- othy Healy, after accusing John Dillon of getting himself elected to the chairman ship of the party by intrigue and in disre gard of the feeling of the country, remark- j ed that he would rather see Ireland gov— erned as 8. crown colony than as it was now governed. “If, when the Liberals are¢ returned to power,” he added, “nothing is done for home rule, the Irish members shonld provoke our expulsion from par-§ liament, After a few years of governing Ireland without representatives at West- minster, fear would probably induce Eng— land to grant some kind of a national council, which would eventually broaden into an Irish parliament.”

CHRONIC HEADACHE.

The change in my Mother's condi- tion marvellous. Scott's Sarsaparilia is a Boon.

MONTREAL, August 29th, 1895. GENTLEMEN :—There is such a change in my mother’s health that I cannot re- strain myself from writing you. She suffered for years past with a chronic \eadache, accompanied with a disordered stomach. She was weak and irritable, and we thought she was going into a de- cline. For three weeks she has been taking a course of Scott’s Sarsaparilla, which was recommended to her by Mr. McGale, Druggist, Montreal. Her head- ache is now but a memory, her appetite is good, andshe has gained five pounds in weight in twelve days. She is a different woman, and I feel that you, in God’s hands, have been the means of re- storing her to health. 1 shall always recoramend Scott’s Sarsaparilla to suffer- ers from head or digestive troubles. Thanking you again, I close. Yours sincerely, Hortense Gaviliere, Scott’s Sarsaparilla is a concentrated extract, pleasant to the taste, and is taken in small doses. It is the finest remedy for disorders of the stomach and liver, palpitation, screfulous sores, eczema and skin diseases arising from impurities of the blood. It builds up the weak, the strong it maintains wm health, $1 of all druggists.

The City of Mexico is situated on an extensive plateau, having an area of over 170 square miles, surrounded by lofty mountains ind including five ls ses within its at-a. Although with a gecgraphical locacion within the tro - ics, the latitude of the city being 19 de- grees 50 minutes xorth, it is possessed ot a climate so s*‘ubrious, of 59 even a temperature, fuat summer or winter a residence in M.xico city or its en- virons is always pleasant, and visits to the city can be made at any time otf the year, whether it is to escape th? extreme cold of the horthern winters or the excessive heat of the northern summers. The climate, however, is not the only attraction, ali visitors agree- ing that the beauty of the environs, ¢

the surrounding mountains and the beautiful lakes, in whi se waters are re- fi.cted the snow-cap!ed peaks of the

Zreat mountains iztazihvatl and Popo-

the fruits and uowers, both summe! and winter, are fair vivals of the great- est interest to the visitor.

Many

In British journals this has recently been much discussed, showing no smaii

ulcasiness in the public mind. There was need of it. british law is quite to? lax in requiring proof of death before

Hundrec. of bur.als take place year wi. .out d:ath. The Lone wa Chronici

brrial., every certificates of reported # Guzen recent c..ces of discovery that supposed death was not actual. The Spectator believes that “a distinet per- centage” of prei.ature burials “occur

every year.”” On of ils correspondents cCiLfesses to a c stressing case in hig own family.

The gruesome fact is that it has al- ways been so. Ancient writers refer tv it. Pliny has a chapter “On those Bho have revived on being carried forth for burial.” Lord Bacon records that there have been “very many cases.” Bruhier, a French writer ia the last century, produced a book on the

subject. It mentioned fifty-four cases of persons buried alive, fifty-three of revival after being coftfined, seventy- two of mistaken pronouncement that ccath had taken place, and four ef persons dissected before they had cea

ed to live. A noted case occurred under

the hands of the distinguished Ves: lius, who, having opened a bojy, foun! the heart still teating. The case of

G. Washington FP shop, the mind-read- er, is comparativeiy recent. Not a few persons believe that he was the victim of an autopsy, undertaken before he was actually dcr. It is a fact that, when body-snatchinge by medical stu- dents, or common was more frequent than now, it occasionally re- sulted in the r from the grave of that were still alive.

Old cemeteries are sometimes remov- ed, and more freqventiy individual graves are open for the removal of remains. Then i ¢ d’stressing fact of 2 premature buiial is occasionally re- vealed. It is statcd that in New Yorx six cases in a thousand have occurred. In Holland the pcorcentage is five in a thousand. Perhaps the Paris mecrgue ‘3 the last place where one might ex- pect to find the l ving among the dead, afier the has been examined botk by the police, onspector and the official surgeon. Yet, even there about one in ever three hundred has to life again. A recently published werk, by Dr. F. Hartmann, strongiy draws attention to the danger of doom- ing to the grave who have not really died, He has colletted over seven hundred authenticated instances. Of these ne describes hundred and eight of typical cases, under the title, “Buried Alive.”

The danger of premature burial arises from that semblace of death which is popula-‘y termed suspended animation, or tre ace, and sc entifically krcwn as catalepsy. Persons of nerv- ols temperament are more Liable to this than others, and women more than men. In catalepsy all the signs of ceath are sometimes present, save the ore infallible sign of incipient decom- position. Even experienced physic‘ans are deceived. A celebrated case in the last century was that of the Rev. Wil- Nam Tennant, a Presbyterian minis- ter in New Jersey, who revived aftera three days’ catal psy, iw ‘which he nar rowly escaped burial. Mr. T. J. Hué- son, in his book, “The Law of Psycnie¢ Fhenomena,” refers to a lady now at

the head of a public instituion, who “has been twice pronounced Cead by the attending physicians, twice pre- pared for the grave, and twice re-

September, where, upon suspicion of premature buria!, the body was dis- interred, and life restored, after lying in the grave fiom Saturday tiil Tues-

day. Even more remarkable cases are on record.

Such facts enjoin ali poss ‘ble gre- cautions against un awful mistake. At- tention cannot be tvo urgently called

beth to the dan; or and to the way of safety. In Munich, and also in other Furopean cities, the body of every

Gead person is deposited at once in a
