From The earliest period Of hu.

sidcrcd as necessarily aceompa.

lief, iha, the terms "deaih.apony :"
"last struggle 'pangs Of death, :"
etc., have been In almost univer-
sal use IN every age and under
all conditions Of society.
Nothing could be more cfronc-
ousi the truth is, pain and
death seldom go together we
mean the last moments Of life. OF
course death may be preceded by
weeks or even months of extreme
suffering, ~ occurs during certain
incurable diseases.
SO exaggerated has been this
notion that is has been considered
an act of humanity TO anticipate
the "death-strllgglcs' by violence F.;
for ages it was customary among
the lower classes Of Europe TO
hasten death by jerking the pillow
from beneath the head Of the dy-
ing, thus throwing the head back
ward, straining the pharyngeal
and thoracic muscles. rendering
the respiration, already difficult,
shortly impossible. A Venetian
ambassador, in the time of Queen
Mary, asserted that it was COM
mon custom among the country
people TO smother the dying bv
means of a pillow placed over the
face, upon which leaned or sat the
nearest relative.
This was founded on the pious
belief that a short road was the best
one. This custom was handed
down from generation TO genera
ton, parents performing it for their
children, and vice versa. But,
perhaps the saddest privilege ever
allowed the near friends OF dy-
ing man, occasionally occurred
during the reign of Queen Eliza
beth, when through executive
clemency-in executions by hang
ing-they were permitted to grasp
the feet OF the suspended criminal,
and, by clinging TO the cxtremities
precipitate their additional weight
on the body, thereby fastening
strangulation. 1t is needless to
say that these theories are false in
both conception and practice.
Death is a physiological process,
and like other animal functions
should be painless.-Dr. Thomas

The Butler (Ga.) Herald gives
the following account of the action
of stimulants on hogs: "Mr.
West, having large jar ofbrandy
peaches which had become spoil
ed, set the jar out upon the front
colonnade, which in the absence
of Mr., w. was soon turned over
by the hogs. There being four in
number Of course they did not hes
itatc, but soon had the entire con-
tents Of the jar swallowed up, each
one becoming well satisfied with
his portion. II was only n mo-
ment before the strong spirits be-
gan to take effect, and craze the
brain Of the unsuspecting brute.s
Being closely watched by num-
Der Of persons, they were seen TO
whirl round and round in quick
succession, their entire backbone
appearing as supple as an eel.
which action was kept up for sew
cral moments, when, as they would
attempt to walk, they would reel
frvm righ, to left. One, however,
seemed to have taken Of the
good things Of the jar a little more
than his share, and on reaching
the sidewalk stretched himself as i
prepared to give up the ghost, and
in this position he lay for two days
and nights. showing no signs Of
lie with the exception Of his
Breathing.

And from beneath the quiet eyeIds steal
The hidden glory OF the eyes, to give
A new and uobler beauty 10 the rest

Burning the straw.

The season for burning the stubbie and
straw stacks in the grain fields is again ap-
proachiug, and we suppose, ss usual, the
smoke will arise from thousands of fields in
all parts of the STATE. How much beef aud
mutton will thus be committed to the flames
How much fertilizing materials that
are absolutely necessary to future crops will
the be carried away in gases and
smoke and diluted in the thin air ?
Can the farmers of California afford to con
time this proiigate practice much longer :?
The reduced yield per acre points significant
" to correct answer to this question. Oar
bright wheat straw, grown and cured without
being bleached and weakened by heavy dews
or drenching rains, is worth more per ton
than swsle. grown mixed grasses Of other and
wetter countries; and yet we commit mill
ions of tons of this valuable stock food to the
flames every year to get it out of the way of
putting in the next crop, which for the want
of fertilizing properties will be less valuable
by four times the cost of taking care of the
straw in other ways. Then we also commit
to the flames all the profits that we might
make by feeding this straw to sheep and cat
tie. When viii we abandon bad practices on
our farms? Those who have straw and no
stock would make money by giving it to those
who have stock and no straw, on condition
that il be fed on the land that produced it, or
where the manure from il can be transported
to the land that produced it.

and scale bugs. it is necessary that we should
study more thoroughly and carefully the
physiology of plants and trees. 1t is just as
Important that the fruit grower, the grain
grower, and indeed the grower of every kind
of vegetation that makes food for man or
beast should understand the physiology of
the plant he cultivates, as it Is that thu
stock grower should be acquainted with the
physiology of the animals he raises and deals
in. The diseases of trees and vines
that are indicated in the devel
opment of fungus growths or mil.
dews, and those that are indicated In
the development Of insects, like the scale
bugs and phylloxers, are very similar in their
nature, and as q rule can be traced 10 some
Encouragement or obstruction in the flow or
elaboration of the blood or sap Of the tree
or vine. Hence this matter OF the origin
circulation and elaboration and assimilation
of the sap must be understood or the cause
of the disease can not be found or intelli
gently treated. The quickest and surest way
to cure scursy pig, or q lousy calf. is to
restore the animal to healthy growing coz
dition, by giving it plenty of healthy IN
MIGRATING food that will cause tito erowrspid-
ly and taka on fat The saIne is true OF q
tree or vine that has been weakened by neg.
lect, by overbearing or by want of nourishipg
fertilizers, and is affected with mildew, blight
or scale-bugs the best and surest way to
move the disease, the fungus or parasite
life, is TO give greater vitality to the tree or
vine itself.

floor and then another, and the door into
the church was open all the time. The
minister at dinner that afternoon remarked
ecststically upon the blessed time they had
mad that morning. and shall not soon for
get tie outspoken reply of his wife
If God gives woman sufficient
grace TO stay at home and take care of
her baby," said she. her heart must be
somewhere near right" Not every minis
ter's wife would have courage to speak out
against her husband like that, no matter
how much in error she thought him, but
couldn't keep but think of the woman
who must always thus stay home to take
care of the baby. and. by Gods grace, never
go anywhere. On each side of a question
thereare alwaysso many difficulties. don't
know but l have told you before of little
incident which had happened one night III
church, to whose evening service they
charge an admission fee of ten cents. The
minister was especially eloquent that night,
and his auditors were completely captured,
when up in the gallery child cried.
Well ~ exclaimed the preacher, frown-
ing, 6 / did think this ten cent business
would keep the young ones out I" Then the
child was carried away, and he proceeded
with his eloquent Christian discourse.

The other afternoon Miss Clara Deliver

Dolliver is young lady particularly well
known to the children OF San Francisco by
the several juvenile books she has pub
lisbed, and to the world at large through
having written the lovely little poem,
" No Baby in the House, which brought
her much mention, as it was written when
she had been but year or two IN her
teens.

ever stops to think OF the hard time

own dairy with it, but has to be raised
by hand" as we used to say Of the
calves. There is a great effort toward
one cows milk" but the expression
has come to be by.word now since it Is
very well understood that you can't trust
the milk cans. Aud when you get 1t OF thn
neighbor who keeps but one COW, q supper
of turnip tops or cabbage leaves plays
havoc with the babys stomach. So the
changes are rung on condensed milk, bar
ley water oatmeal, Imperial granum and
all the rest of if, and if the baby lives it
lives, and if it can't thrive on some one of
these, then it dies Be thankful and hap,
Ply, Oh country baby, for the out-of-doors
and pure milk you get, and don't pay even
so much as visit to the city till you are

long been connected with La France. one
of the leading journals. The army which
he was detailed to accompany was that of
General Forgemol. This officer is mar

Neyada's Future.

Commenting on the statements OF the
New York Tribune on the resources Of our
State the Gold Hill News says Nevada
should not be judged solely by her bullion
yield. Her agricultural resources are be-
ing better attended to and developed, and
her immense shipments of cattle daily to
California and also to the East, show how
another of her latent our has been
increasing in Importance and development
within the last few years. Nevada is not
all mineral and desert land by any means,
and when with better encouragement to
the mining interest, more and perhaps bet
ter mines than ever may be developed, and
railroads encouraged to lend their aid to
the fullest extent, opening up new and val
liable sections of the State, then it may be
found that Nevada's most permanent fu-
ture prosperity lies as much in her agri-
cultural as in her mineral resources. The
Tribune will record a much more favorable
opinion Of Nevada ten years from now.
