How whisky Pays.

!. Some years ago we had in our employ
q man, who, several times in the day,
ran out Of the Office to buy q drink Of
whisky. Every time be went ont the
cashier was instructed to drop ten cents
into d drawer to our credit. AT the end
of seventeen months the man who had
gone out SO often had drank himself out
of a good situation; and the drawer,
when opened, was found to contain four
hundred and nine dollars, which We
loaned to a young mechanic at seven
per cent. interest. He used It to pur-
chase q set of timers tools. On the
18th Of February, 1876, he returned il
to us, saying in his letter that he now
has wife, two children, and property
worth i've thousand dollars. The other
fellow is a hummer, hunting for food =.

o DEATH ENHANCING PAINLESS


All the evidence goes to show that
death by hanging is painless, and there
is positively no fact or we'll founded
opinion to the contrary. If this be the
case, then, what is the explanation of itp
Simply this That in every form of
strangulation the blood. vessels of the
neck are compressed, as well as the air
passages. A large part Of the blood7is
returned from the head by the external
jugular veins, which are very near the
surface, and in which the current can be
checked by slight pressure. Most soi
the blood from the brain ITSELF comes
back through the internal jugulars, which
lie near, but little outside of, the caro-
It'd arteries The walls OF veins are lax
and yielding, so as to be easily compress
ed. while those of the arteries are firm
and elastic, and it requires considerable
force to approximate them. Pressure,
then, which is sufficient to close the jug,
ular veins, only crowds the carotids .
little further inward, and the blood is
still poured through them into the brain,
whence it can not escape. When this
pumping process Is going on at the rate
Of seventy strokes minute, 1t is easy to
understand how the engagement of the
vessels the brain, in very brief time
reaches degree which causes insensi,
bility. To explain why this congestion
causes unconsciousness would involve q
technical discussion which would here
beou of place. Itmust suffice to say
that it does so that, as the cerebral con
gestion in q hanged person brings or
insensibility within minute, while tht
physical agony of suffocation does no!
begin until later, 1t follows that the vic
tim does not feel any of the pangs O
asphyxia. He first becomes insensible
with accompanying pleasurable feelings
from cerebral congestion, and then il
clicked to death while unconscious. s

What are these promisesf In the last

promises are specified in these words !:
"For ye are the temple Of the living

them and walk in them, and I will be
their God and they shall be my people,
wherefore come out from among them and
be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch
