NEW PROTECTION AGAINST BoREs.-
An inventive philanthropist in Chicago,
who considers it rudeness personifed to
wear phial cork at his button hole, tied
to a pink ribbon, and to put the same in
his weather ear when he gins aweary OF
his companions conversation, and is also
averse to presenting him with a card in
scribed, Hire hail." Next door,"
Write it out, This man was talked
to DEATH" etc., has devised an excellent
instrument for the protection of travellers
and other people who are in danger from
the man with fine flow of language. 1t
consists of small piece of wood cut with
several faces on each of which is inscribed
word or phrase, as "Yes," "No,"
Cant say" "Guess so," "Thanks," )"
Haven't heard" "Doh't know" So
they toll me" (" You don't say so," "All
right" Indeed" and the like. When
person is attacked by the man who
talks, all that he has to do is to take out
his tongue preserver, and present TO him
whatever face is necessary. With little
practice any person of average intelli-
gence can become an expert.

GEESE FULL OF FuN.-A goose has,
perhaps, the keenest appreciation of hui
NOR Of any animal, unless, indeed, it be-
/ her own arch enemy, the fox. The writ
or once saw, in II little grassy paddock,
some eight or ten int and healthy pigs,
paddock narrow open gate gave on
trance to IA farm yard and ~ evening APP
preached the geese ranged themselves in
n row near this Thcrmopye. Obviously
supper time was drawing on and the pigs
wished to return to their troughs. And
equally as clearly the geese had given
each other TO understand not to let them
pass through the gate which they guard
cd, without paying toll. First there
came up jolly, good humored little pig,
who trottcd cheerlully along with II con
fdence which ought TO have disarmed
criticism, till he came among the geese.
Then with cacklo and II squall, every
neck was stretched to get Il bite Mt him,
and squalling and yelling, the poor little
porker ran the gauntlet. The same fate
befeI six or seven more OF his brethren in
succession, each betrnying his increasing
tropdatiOn as he approached the fatal
pass, and making bolt through the
guard OF tho enemy, whose chattering
and scrocching Of delight were almost
undistinguishable from human laughter.
At last the biggest pig Of the palty drew
up in the rear. lie was II pink tleshed,
clean young fellow, with tat limbs and
sides, and his ears were cooked and his
tail was twisted in the intelligent, wide
awake manner which 50 completely dis
tingushes the intellectual pig from the
mere swine multitude. With II loud
grunt of defiance, this bravo bcast mado
a charge through the flock of geese, and
actually had almost gained the gate, rs
a large gray goose made one grab Mt his
fat ham, caught up the skin in bunch,
and gave it tremendous pinch in her
red beak. Needless to say, the air was
rent with squeals Of agony from the in
jured pig, and the ecstvtic p~ans Of tho
llock Of geese in chorus. From the or
der in which the transaction took place,
we derive the impression that II similar
game of prisoners base probably formed
the entertainment of tho geese every
evening.

A MORAL FATLURE.-A farmer living

No FEAR OF DEATH IN THE DYING
A striking fact in connection with the
dying is that they are not afraid of death.
ou notice this even in executions. The
majority of men who are hanged are re-
ported to die "game." Death following
disease or injury is, with the rarest excep-
tion, unaccompanied with fears. Disease
dulls the intelligence so that the situation
is not fully comprehended or there may
be pain and death is looked upon as n re-
lief. Nature, by kindly provision seems
to prepare for the flight of the spirit as
the hold of life grows weaker, so does the
desire for life grow less and in scarcely
single instance within my own expert.
ence, or within that of my professional
brethren, with whom l have conversed
upon this point, has not the dying man
relinquished life at the last without SEEM
ing reluctant or fearful.
The several physical phenomena which
accompany the act of dying vary consid-
erably in the earlier stages with the causes
that produce death there is much simi-
larity in the later steps. Death offers
them physiognomy, which, once wit
messed, is not hard to recognize again
Among the more constant signs are tn,
failing pulse, which gradually becomes
lmperceptible, first at the wrist, and ther
at the breast itself; the extremities grow
cold; the countenance changes as tn,
venous blood courses through the arter
les the skin grows cammy as the vessel
relax the eye glazes the jaw drops tn,
fluids accumulate in the windpipe, caus
ing the death rattle SO called, as tn,
air passes through the breath come
shcrt and finally ceases.
AS the red blood leaves the brain, judg
ment becomes obscured, and the sense
deficient. Speech is incoherent. Many
times "last words" are imagined by
affection to mean more than intended, i
there was any intention alta at grow
dark " or more light" are common say
ings as the optic nerve loses its stimulus
Or strange sights may be seen and sound:
heard, rs occurs sometimes in the still
twilight. The hallucinations of the dying
may be often explained upon natural
uses.-Prof. o. r.. Cowling.
