People do not like 10 think of death.
II is an unpleasant subject; but Il
constantly obtrudes itself, and there
has been much speculation as 10
whether mental or physical pain at
tends the final act. Observation teach.
Is us that there is little pain Of either
kind in dying. Experience will come
to us all one Of these days, but il will
come too late TO benefit those who re-
main. II seems to be a kind Of pro-
vision Of nature that as we approach
the dread event our terrors diminish,
and the coward and hero die alike
fearless, Indifferent or resigned. As
to physical pain, DIR. Edward II.
Clake, in DIVISIONS" says: 1.-THE rule
is that Inconsistencies, not pain, at
tends the final act. To the subject Of
II, death is not more painful than
birth. Painlessly we come; whence
we know not. Painlessly we go;
whittier we know not. Nature kind
ly provides an an@sthetie for the
body when the spirit leaves it. Pre-
vious to that moment, snd in prepa-
ration for it, respiration becomes fee
bic, generally slow and short, often
accompanied by long inspirations and
short, sudden expirations, so that the
blood is steadily less and less oxygen
ated. At the same time the heart
acts with corresponding debility, pro-
ducing a slow, feeble and often lrreg.
ular pulse. As this process goes on,
the blood Is not only driven to the
head with diminished force and in less
quantity, but what flows there is load
ed more and more with carbonic acid
gas, powerful anesthetic, the same
as that derived from charcoal. Sub
ject to its influence, the nerve centers
lose consciousness, apparent sleep creeps
over the system; then comes stupOr
and then the end"

If we knew the heart-histories o
many old maids we should find them
characterized by the puriest potho:
and lifes most elevating discipline.
Often does a woman remain single be
cause she is faithful to an ideal. Per.
haps some happy dream of girlhood
was broken by death or estrangement
perhaps she has never met the man
who fully realized her aspirations, and
whom in perfect fealty she could fee
herself able to love, honor ard obey
Whatever men may think on the sub
ject, that last word, "obey," has q
grave meaning to thoughtful women,
who, conscious Of IA soul OF their
own" are a little terrified at what
obedience may involve. Other women
there are who are Of gentle and more
yielding natures who have formed an
ideal which in real life is never ap-
proximately reached, though this class
only desire to find the idol worthy o.
their alteration and obedience. Al
any rate, the woman who remains sin
gle rather than make ga half hearteC

Reverence for law is a sentiment Of
force among all classes Of society.
Coarser natures are impressed by the
power it represents and the force which
executes it; while the higher feel to-
ward il something ofthat chivalric 10y.
atty which found expression in the
we'll known words Of Hooker, in
which he declares Of Law as an idea
that "there can be no less acknowl.
edged than that her seat Is the bosom
of God, her voice the harmony Of the
world; all things in heaven and earth
do her homage, the very least as feel
ing her care and the greatest as not
exempted from her power. The educa-
tional influence Of the laws Of a coun-
try, though silent is yet constant and
most powerful, because not merely Of
their external authority; because of this
strong instinct of reverence. Every
student fthe philosophy of history has
noted how influential have been the
laws Of a people in fixing their moral
standard. An expression at first of
the high or low state of the average
private conscience, they have reacted
upon that conscience and served to in
tensify and perpetuate the state of
mind and heart which gave them birth.

REFINED LANGUAGF.-Men and
women should acquire in early life
the habit of using good language,
both in speaking and in writing, and
also avoid the use of slang words and
phrases. The longer they live the
more difficult the acquisition Of good
language will be, and if the golden
age of youth, the proper time for the
acquisition of language, be passed in
abuse, the unfortunate victim is very
properly doomed to talk slang for life.
Money is not necessary to procure
education. Every person has it in his
power. He has to use the language
which he reads instead Of the slang
which he hears; to form taste from the
best speakers and poets of the coun-
try; to treasure choice phrases in his
memory and habituate himself to their
use, avoiding at the same time that
pedantic precision and bombast which
show rather the weakness of ambition
than the polish of an educated mind.

Yesterday we saw some strange
looking beings which were most care.
fully guarded by the gentlemen who
had brought them in from the hills.
We stopped in open-eyed amazement
and dumb wonder. We had seen the
midgels, the man-fish, the double wo.
man and specimens Of men. birds,
beasts and reptiles from every cline,
but never before had we beheld any
thing like these. There was not a
thread Of clothing on their bodies, and
their skins, instead Of being rough and
horny as is the case with most wild
men," was soft and white, thinly COW
cred, not with hair, but soft, blush
quilts. Their feet had only four toes
each, with long, curving nails. Their
legs, unlike the rest Of their bodies,
were covered by teguments which bore
an imperfect resemblance to fish scales.
Their mouths were very prominent,
and their fOreheads retreated to the
the back Of their heads. Noses they
had none, but, instead, breathed thro'
apertures below their eyes. In the
place Of their arms they had long APP
parently useless appendices, which
they constantly kept folded. Of hands
they had not a semblance. The only
attractive feature about them was
their eyes, which were large and lu-
minous, Of a soft dreamy brown, and
which looked out upon the strange
sights Of the city with an appealing
expression of innocent, child-like be-
wildermen. and timidity. "Sir," we
we inquired of one of the men in
charge. after we had infinitely made
these observations, "what do you call
these ?" 1--WE calls them" he said,
with a look of lofty compassion for
our ignorance, 1--WE calls them Spring
chickens-the first Of the season.

visit to this country. He was not
remarkable for his geniality and at a

fried liver and its influence on Con-
gressional legislation,he said: "Cut the

ready some butter in the spider; when
hot buck and gag the spider and put
in the liver; season with salt, pepper

steam in as much as possible; add a

from getting dry do not let the ice

BibIe Errors.

Here is a Bit Of information which
will do for that conventional scrap
book which is the property of every
well-regulated household. Many edi.
tons of the Bible have been published
during the last 300 years, and into not
a few of them some peculiar errors
have crept. What is known as the
"Breeches Bible" Geneva, 1861 was
so called because Genesis ill.,, 7, was
TRANSLATED; They sewed fig leaves TO-
geiher aud made themselves breeches,
instead Of aprons" az in the English
version now usel. In the ''Treacle
Bible" (l56S) Jeremiah VIII 22, was
made to read, sis there no treacle in
Gilead," etc, instead Of "balm," and
in 1909 the word was changed ia
"rosin;" balm was first used in 1911.
The Vinegar Bible" printed in Ok
ford in I'LL, by John Basket, derives
its name from the heading of Luke
Xxx, which was made 10 read, "The
parable of the vinegar" The book
had many other errors, from which il
has also been called, after the printers
name, "a basket of errors" In 1851
Bible was printed in England, and
in 1882 another appeared in Germany,
both of which made the seventh com
mandment read, Thou shalt commit
adultery" the word mot" being omit
ted. II has been very appropriately
called the wicked Bible"

kissed each other, which was quite Of

around Augustus neck and kissed him
for about the twentieth time. Smart
