The Death Agony.

Death is usually preceded by group
of phenomena that has received the
name of the death agony. In most cases
of disease the beginning of this conclu-
ding period is marked by sudden i'm
provement of the functions. II is the
last CLEAN springing from the dying
flame; but soon the eyes become fixed
and insensiblu to tho action of light
the nose grows pointed and cold; the
mouth, wide open, seems to call for the
air that fails it; the cavity within is
parched, and the lips, as if withered,
cling to the curves of the teeth. The
last movements of respiration are spas
modic, and II wheeling, and sometimes
n marked gurgling sound may be heard
ut some distance, caused by obstruction
of the bronchial tubes with n quantity
of mucus. The breath is cold, the tenn
perature of the skin lowered. IL the
heart is examined, we note the weaken.
ing of its sounds and pulsations. The
hands, placed in its neighborhood, feel
no throb. Such is the physiognomy of
person in the last moments of death
in the greater number of cases; that is,
when death follows upon period of
illness of some duration. The death
struggle is seldom painful, and almost
always the patient feels nothing of it,
He is plunged into n comatose stupor,
so that he is no longer conscious of his
situation or his SUI ari lgs, and he pass
es insensibly fro' to death, in a
manner that ren MS it sometimes diff
cult to fix the 'Alc5 instant at which n
dying person ',pires. This is true, at
least, in chrome inaladies, and especi-
ally in those at consume the human
body slowly an silently.
Yet when the hour of death comes
for ardent organizations-fo great ar
fists, for instance-and they usually
die young-there is a quick and sublime
new burst of life in the creative genius.
There is no better example of this than
the angelic end of Beethoven, who, be-
fore he breathed out his soul, that
tuneful monad, regained his lost speech
and hearing, and spent them in repeat
ing for the last time some of those
sweet harmonies which he called his
Prayers to God.
Some diseases, moreover, are most
peculiarly marked by the gentleness of
the dying agony. OF all the ills that
cheat us while killing by pin -pricks,
consumption is that which wears longer
for us the Elusive look of health, and
best conceals the misery and tn hor-
ror of dying. Nothing can be COM
pared with that hallucination of the
senses and that livingness of hope
which mark the last days of the con-
sumptive. He takes the burning of his
destroying fever for heaIthful symp-
tom, he forms his plans and smiles
calmly and cheerfully on his friends,
and suddenly. some morrow of quiet
night, he falls into sleep and never
wakes. .-Popuiar Science Monthy.

The Dead-Head Business,

Since the railroads have decided to
off the eadheads, many of the
newspapers have concluded to try a
hand. If any community, corporation
or class of business men were ever more
afflicted with deadheads than the news
paper press of to-day we should like to
extend to them our sympathies. But
the following resolution, adopted at the
Missouri Editorial Association, will con-
vince some of the dead class that in
Missouri at least the reform has com
menced at both ends of the line:
l. That newspaper is bust
ness establishment by which editors
and printers must make a living. g
That man has the same right to walk
into grocery store and order barrel
of sugar or a sack of coffee, or into a
law Office and demand legal opinion
romits occupant, or into an uudertaker's
and request coffin, without expecting
to pay for their respective wares of ser.
vices, as into newspaper office and de-
mand the use of its brains and muscle
and type, without thought of recon-
pense. B. That hereafter all personal or
political matter, having for its object
the promotion of individual fortune or
ambition, shall be treated exactly as
other business matter, and charged, at
the option of publishers, as editorial
advertising. 4. That dead d-head-po-
litical, personal and commercial the
Missouri press is "played out" s.
That any editor or publisher who fails
to carry out these resolutions in the
letter and spirit shall cease to be re-
garded as a member of this association.

BEFORE the Curiajn.

A rather remarkable man died in
Vienna recently. 1t was the business
of Herr Panovetz, the celebrity in ques-
tion, to gain apI ause for the actors of
the theatre in which he was employed.
In order to do so, he stationed his
trained hirelings in various positions in
the body of the theatre, when they ap-
plauded at discretion. Herr Panovetz
left considerable fortune which he
gained in the exercise of his somewhat
singular profession. All the members
of the theatre, from the highest to the
lowest, were in the habit of employing
him, while some of them used to take
him on their provincial tours. OF late
years his success in gaining applause
for his clients on the stage was so great
that he was paid very handsomely for
his services, especially at first perform
ances, when both the actresses and their
admirers loaded him with presents. He
sometimes had as many as forty young
men under him, when it was thought
necessary that applause should be I'M
usually loud and vigorous but he gen
orally employed a much smaller num-
Der, preferring, as he said, equality to
quantity" This bit of history has
rather tendency to shake ones faith
in the genuine nature of theatrical ap-
plause, has it not ? OF course we lost
faith in bouquets and presentations long
ago (; but this is really too sad.

The SMnrd and the Pen.

The sword of the warrior was taken
down for the purpose of being polished.
1t had not been long ont of use. The
rust was rubbed off, but there were
spots that would not go-they were of
blood. The sword was placed on the
table, near the pen of the warriors sec
retary. The pen took advantage of the
first breath of air to move a little furth-
er off. "Thou are right" sal / the
sword, 81 am bad neighbor." "1
