Simon oamsron's First Geography.

AM .
Yesterday an old gentleman who
knows much of his early history gave
me one incident as n specimen Of how
he began life. General ameron's moth
err" said the old friend, ..was a great
woman She labored for her children
with q zeal and energy of which few
beings are capable, and It was her teach
ing and example. as well rs native men,
tai force. which marked the life of her
boys with those strong characteristics
which have enabled them to make their
mark in life" The old storekeeper in
Maytown, the little hamlet in Lancaster
county where General Cameron was
born,n said my informant, often told Of
his struggle for his first book in geogra-.
ply. He was only eight or nine years
old when he became far enough adj
vanced In elementary education to study
geography, and he approached the
teacher with the desire of his heart
The teacher promised II he could get a
book to put him in the class, but how
to get that book was the question. It
cost q dollar, and even pennies were
scarce in his home. He consulted his
mother and they together planned for
the geography. She entered heartily
into her sons ambition.
After three months Of effort, enough
Of the odds and ends Of the economy
left from the daily demand for bread
was saved up. These were carried to
the country store by tho boy who has
since written SO strongly upon the pag-
es of his country's political history.
When they were weighed and counted
the merchant shook his head and said:
There is only rs cents worth. Simon
and the book costs 81" As the boy
thought Of the struggle he had made to-
accumulate what he had brought, and
still the prize was far away. tho tears,
sprang TO his eyes. The merchant re-
Tented. and. taking him by the shoul-'
ders, said: .'Simon, you are q good
boy; you a have the book, and y6h
can pay me the other q cents when
you get it." He NOT only lived long
enough. said his friend. TO pay the "a
cents, but 10 do the man who thus
served his childish ambition many kind.

The pecuiiarties IN the features Of any
class Of individuals are thus eoneen-
trated, as it were, in one ideal picture.
Mr.. Gallon believes that composite pho
tographs may prove valuable for pre-
dnciDg a standard physiogomy Of
disease. Portraits of a number of CON
sumptiye persons were combined; and
it was remarkable how a certain average
of faces was almost identical. In a
variety of what he called typical por-
traits, Mr.. Gallon showed that the
individuality of each class Of persons
represented was strongly brought out
and localized. He thought composite
photographs might be put to an inter-
esting use in the production of family
likeness. The results obtained are
really surprising.
In most interesting paper in the Pop
sdar Science Monthly for July, DIR.
Thomas d. Spencer reviews what is
known Of the end Of life, and endeavors
to prove the painlessness OF death. The
visions of the dying, so often popularity
attributed TO glimpses into the myster-
les of a future world, he maintains are
shown in the light Of scientific fact to
be the mere wandering Of a fast disor-
ganizlng brain. The asyphyxia pro-
duced by burning charcoal is often ac-
companied by disturbed f%ancies, similar
to those preceding death, and the nat
ural inference is that they both result
from one and the same cause. In q
semi-conscious stupor, the dying mans
thoughts, taking no note of the present,
revert to the past, and he seems to live
his life over again. Oldtime friends
and scenes cluster around him in a Wis
ion 50 vivid as to cause q spasmodic ac-
ton Of the body, attracting the atten-
ton Of the awe-stricken by-standers
to these fantasies of his own brain.
Thus some pass away as though falling
asleep, others with a sigh, groan or
grasp; and some with a convulsive
struggle; but all without the agony
which is SO generally believed to &C
company the departing breath. In the
drowsy stupor Of approaching death
pain is doubtless %unfelt; and the death.
bed visions, which are of SO frequent
occurrence, cannot with our present
knowledge be regarded as realities.

years old. Is located in Methuen. Mass.
Ayoung man married. and brought his
BRIDE home to live with his mother.

members. Finally. the pastors wife
sought the younger woman, and remon-
strated with her.
