AlOays Getting an Office for Some one.
Just around the corner (n Winches.
ter, Va.,) is where the dashing Sheri-
dan had his headquarters, the building
now being used for an Episcopal semi
nary: near by stands the house in
which the Revolutionary General
Morgan died in 1902, and his body
rests in the citizens cemetery beneath
an unkept mound and broken slab ;
and in this portion of the town, too,
lived Miss 3ebecca Wright, the
Quarker girl, on il o;mat,ol IIrnis E
cd by whom Sheridan fought and won
the bloody battle of Winchester, Sep
tember 10, 1864. Miss Wright's
mother kept n boarding house in
Winchester, and, hearing from rebel
officers at her home that Early had
dispatched a number of his troops to
reinforce Lee in Eastern Virginia, she
notified Sheridan who was encampcd
without the town. He acted prompt
ly and Early was sent whirling down
the valley. Sheridan did not forget
his fair benefactress, as the following
order, which you, Mr. Editor, who
were issuing commissl lry and mem Der
of his staff at the time, have seen be-
fore, attests:
CAPT. GRIEsT Give Miss Wright
all the fresh beef size needs.
j. Ii. SHE2IDA.,
Major General.
After the war had ended Sheridan
further expressed his gratitude by pre-
senting her with a handsome gold
watch. This fact becoming known
the Wright family were socially ostra.
cised by the Winchesterians. Their
boarding mouse tabooed and their
means Of livelihood disappeared. NJ

Painlessness of Death.
Tie Oninian Of q .St.rnt. u.


Tie Opinion Of Scientific Nm.
Dr.. Tloma, y. Spencer, In ro7alar srisuca W,uHIy
At birth the babe undergocs an or
deal that, were he conscious, would be
more trying than the most painful
death yet he feels it not. Born in an
unconscious state, the brain incapable
of receiving conscious impressions, his
entrance into his hitherto unknown

thesia
"Psinls-.Iy ~ come. whence ws kHg~ not:
Painless 40 e, whittier We kHow not.
From the earliest period of human
history death has been considered as
necessarily accompanied by pain. So
general is this belief that the terms
death.agony, " last struggle, +"
"pangs of death, ETC., have been in
almost universal use in every age and
under all conditions of society.
Nothing could be more erroneous.
The truth is, pain and death seldom
go together I'VE mean the last moments
Of life. Of course death may be pre-
ceded by weeks or even months Of ex.
treme suffering, as occurs during Ger
tain incurable diseases.
So exaggerated has been this notion
that it has been considered an act Of
humanity TO anticipate the death
struggle " by violence. For ages it
was customary among the lower classes
of Europe to hasten death by suddenly
jerking the pillow from beneath the
head of the dying, thus throwing the
head backward, straining the pharyn-
geal and thoraeic muscles, rendering
the respiration, already difficult, short
" impossible. A Venetian ambassa-
dor, in the time of Queen Mary, asser-
ted that it was common custom
among the country people TO smother
the dying by means of pillow placed
over the face, upon which leaned or
sat the nearest relative. This was
founded upon the pious belief that a
short road was the best one. The Gus.
tom was handed down from generation
TO generation, parents performing it
for their children, and rice Uersd. But
perhaps the saddest privilege ever al.
lowed the near friends Of dying man
occasionally occurred during the reign
Of Queen Elizabeth, when, through
executive clemency in executions by
hanging, they were permitted to grasp
the feet of the suspended criminal and
by clinging to the extremities, precipi.
tate their additional weight on the
body, thereby Fastening strangulation
1t Is needless to.say that these theories
are false in both conception and prac.
tice. Death is physiological process
and, like all other animal functions
should be painless.

/ pending upon the character aud schol.
ar-hip of the examiner. Especially
is this true when the examiner has
never taught the examined, and has
bad uo knowledge OF bis power of

Questions may be 30 constructed, or
topics 50 assigned, n to test the mem

structod or topic, 50 assigned as to
test the Lno,o'edgo Of the examined,
and show how far hi. thought has

given subject Of study. The examined
Is thrown upon his own resources. not
hy puzzles to test hi- ingenuity, but
hy questions that demand a knowledge
Of principles upon his part, aud the
answers of which must come from
his own inner powers OF thinking.
Even in this case. it is difficult to form
correct estimate of scholarship in
very many branches of study, unless
the examiner takes into critical survey
the ,cbole character of the answers
given, the structure OF the sentences,
the English used, aud that almost in-
visible thought power, which the ex.
amiuer, If a scholar, recognizes by
sort of intellectual affinity or mental
sympathy.
All examinations in our judgment,
if TO be relied upon, should be con-
Quoted by an examiner Of broad,
sound scholarship. such as will dictate
a series of questions calculated TO test
scholarship, and which will detect in
every answer given the more hidden
element of selfpossessed thinking,
rather than the most ostentatious pow
er Of memory involved.
But in an examination TO test the
qualification of one desiring to become
teacher, how can an examiner assure
himselfof those ethical qualities, which.
TO say the least, are as necessary as
are the intellocfuaif What list of
questions can he form which will be Of
any service hereg The most that he
can do is to detect in the personal
presence Of the examined, as well as
in the general tone of his answers, that
self.humiliation and reverence without
which all moral life is dwarfed and
blighted.
But fortunately our schools arc al
under the personal and continued in.
spection Of our superinlendents and
this, added to their examinations,
should be sufficient to guard us against
any serious immortality or great in
competence or waste Of time IN our
educational work. Let us labor 10
keep among our examiners men Of the
brOadest and soundest scholarship poe
sible, and men whose manners and
morals are above reproaoh.

How Long a Man May Live.

IL was Professors Huteland's opin-
ion that the limit of possible human
life might be set at two hundred years.
This is on the general principle that
the life of n creature is eight times the
years of its period of growth. That
which is quickly formed quickly perish
es, and the earlier complete develop
ment is reached the sooner bodily de-
cay ensues. More women reach old
age than men, but more men attain
remarkable longevity than women.
Some animals grow to be very old.
Horned animals live shorter lives
than those without horns, fierce long.
er than timid, and amphibious longer
than those which nhabit the air. The
voracious pike exist, it is said, to an
age of one hundred and fifty years /:
the turtle is good for a hundred years
or more and among birds, the golden
eagle is known to have lived nearly
two hundred years, while the sly and
somber COW reaches the venerable age
of n century. Passing up in the scale
of life to man, and skipping the patri.
arches, We find many recorded instan.
ces of longevity among the classic
Greeks and Romans. Pliuy note. that
in the reign ofthe Emperor N,-pa>iau,
in the year 16, there were Que hun.
dred and tweuty.four men living in
the limited area between the Appcni.
nes and the Po of one hundred years
and upwards, three Of whom were one
hundred and thirty-fve. Ciccro's wife
lived to be the age OF one hundred and
three, and the Roman actress Luccia
played in public as late as her one
hundred and twelfth year
Coz. ug down to more recent times,
the most notable authentic instance OF
great age is that of Henry jenkins. Of
Yorkshire, England, who died in 1870,
one hundred al d sixty.nine years cd.
He was a fisherman, and ut the age OF
ore hundred easily sy I'm rcross rapid
rivers. Another historic , i. that
of Thomas Parr, of Shropshire, day
laborer, who lived to the age of one
hundred and iiiy.two years. When
more than one hundred and twenty he
married his second wife. and I'LL one
hundred and thirty he could swing
the ,cythc with hi, fclloa.lahorrr- IN
his one hundred and itly second year
Parr went up TO London TO exhibit
himself to the King. II proved an
unlucky visit, for violating the ab-tc.
