DEATH is PAINLESS.

Said DR.. l.. l.. Seaman: my observation
convinces me that the dramatists and actors
have far overestimated the pains of death,
and especially the possibilities of great men
tai effort just previous to the moment of dis
solution.
It is, in fact, about as difficult to tell
when man dies as to determine when he
goes to sleep. Death is gradual not sud
den process. am speaking now of death
by disease, not of violent death and actors
may come somewhere near the truth, but
generally their pictures of death by disease
are, to one who knows the truth, simply
ridiculous. Dissolution is as painless and
unconscious as birth. The approach to it
may be protracted and painful. There may
be long and agonizing scenes resulting from
disordered imagination. Death destroys
one organ nfter another, not all at once.
The last organs to yield are the lungs,
which show their oppression in the breath
ing, and produce what is termed the death
rattle. As soon as the lungs cease to act
the black venous blood ia no longer chang
ed to red arterial blood, but is propelled
unpurified from the heart and thus poisons
the body like a narcotic. The energies of
the brain are gradually lulled rs in the APP
proach of sleep, and unconscious cerebral
action produces the murmur of the names
of friends, or recollections of past life, or
reference to whatever has passed through
the mind. But that there is pain in natural
death have long since ceased to believe"

A NATION OF GuzzLERs.

Americans are said to be fast becoming q
nation of guzzlers and there is some basis
of fact for the assertion, says writer in the
Boston Herald.
Some one has said that in the days of the
Pilgrims two drinks day sufiiced; at the
time of the Revolution men drank five
times day, while Immediately after the
war of the rebellion the American people
averaged 10 drinks per diem. How fan
the accelerating ratio will go, the govt and
dyspepsia of the future will doubtless de-
termine. On one of the scorching days a
little more than q week ago, Boston man
drank Al times, and that's small potatoes"
of story when set beside the marvellous
absorbing power of a New York Dutchman.
Certain it is that drinking or not drinking
Is pretty much matter of habit. The
writer knows persons who take not drop
of fluid from the morning to the evening
meal, and who are in perfect health. 1t is no
question of control or self-denial, for the
question of drink is often not thought of
throughout the day. The growth of the
drinking habits of the American people is
evidenced by the statistics covering tea and
coffee. The importation and use of the
these articles have increased rapidly.

ABOUT MAcxINAw HATS.

Taking up white, lustrous straw hat
with broad brim and rather shallow crown,
the dealer handed it to the scribe and said /;
"This hat is all the rage this season. We
sell moro of them than of any other Style
II is Mackinaw braid, the crown is three
inches and half deep and the brim is two
and half wide. The crown, you will
notice, is rounded at the top, while the style
of last year was square. These hats are
standard, and never go ont of fashion. The
form may change a little from year to year,
but the change is very slight. The tendency
this year is to broader briin and shallow
er crown. We sell these hats from st.
Paul to Galveston, and from ocean to ocean,
Where are they made ?n said the report
er.
"They are made in the East. The straw
is grown in Canada mostly. 1t is grow.
and cared for in some peculiar way known
only to the natives. II is the straw of some
grain, am unable to say what; but in cur
ing and preparing the straw no attention is
paid to the grain, which is entirely lost.
The rich lustre that this straw possesses is
due to the method of curing as much as to
the nature of the straw itself. The people
of Canada aud the northern lake regions
who cultivate this particular straw generally
braid it themselves and bring it to market
in the form of large balls of braid In this
way they sell it. Detroit is the largest
market for it. Eastern hat manufacturers
buy il in that market and make il into hats.
Thus, you see, although it is an American
yet it passes through many
hands before it reaches the retailer,"-St.

/" sTYLEu IN OLD KENTUCKY.

saw one of these youngsters the other
day in a so.called village cart" kind of
yellow martin box on two wheels, faced
to front and rear like the cross section OF an
Irish jaunting car and shaking motion
that makes the occupant look like he were
being stirred down into pile of batter.
The swell was on the front seat driving,
while behind nnd back to back with him on
.he rear seat was strapping cornfield
1arkey, looking gloomily uncomfortable in
plug hat and cloth coat buttoned to the
throat, while his arms, folded Ia Little
Corporal upon his breast, exposed pair Of
hands as big as canvass hams and covered
with white cotton gloves The sight was
ridiculous enough TO make people turn Their
heads and stare and sneer. But when the
young Philistine returned up the street some
time later with lady and a dude on the
rear seat and the aggrieved looking darby
on the front seat with him, the climax was
reached and general roar of laughter
greeted the procession as It logged and
wabblsd over the paving stones. - eriag-

Another Appearance.
On Saturday night last w. r. Brooks,
of Phelps, N. " discovered a singular
object in the constellation of Draco. He
was not certain as to its real character,
but on Monday night Prof Lewis Swift,
Director Of the Warner Observatory at
Rochester, n. y, verified it by means of
the large Warner telescope as being
comet. It is quite large, nearly round,
and moving slowly westward. Mr.. Brooks
received special prize Of $3.50 from Mr..
Warner some two months since, and il
there is no prior claimant, will be entitled
TO the 5000 prize on the present discovery.

TWELFTH YEAR.


This number of THE RECORD begins
its Twelfth year. 1t has survived long
enough to prove that it has come to stay.
THE RECORD has been considerably en-
larged and otherwise improved during
the past year, and if it has not been in
all respects the model paper that its
readers desire, it is not because of indii-
ference on the part of its publisher.
THE RECORD hopes to SO improve in
the future as to merit the patronage OF a
largely increased number of subscribers.
1t is encouraged in this hope by the fact
that during the past year its list has been
considerably increased by the unsolicited
addition of many names.
