The June rise of the Mississippi river,
sometimes regarded as traditional, is a
reality this year. The great river has
spread itsel f over vast sections of fertile
country iu Missouri, Illinois and Arkan-
sas, and the damage to property is esti-
mated by millions, to say nothing of a
vast amount of suffering. The flood
equals those of 1858 and 1874. Oyer two
thousand homes in the neighborhood
of st. Louis are rendered uninhabitable.
The sufferers will not be able to raise
anything of consequence on the
drowned fields during the present agri-
cultural year. 1.-THE water goes down
in the next two WEEKS little cattle corn
might be raised for stock feeding and
fodder, but this poor recourse is entire
ly inadequate to supply. the deficiency
caused by the food. Under the most
favorable circumstances about all that
the flooded farmers can do is to carry
their stock through the coming winter,
and hence the need Of assistance for
themselves. The people Of the upper
Mississippi and its tributaries were
happily exempted from the floods pour.
ing down upon the country below.

Is Dying Falnlul.

sA@S ~S~~A
Our own observation fully accords with
in all ordinary cases there is little physical
pain in dying. Aprevious correspondentbas
said that: "as physical fact in ninety mine
cases out of hundred the act of death is
suffering and agony which only those
familiar with it can understand" To which
the physician replies:
II bog leave as physician, to object
very decidedly to this statement. Since
began my novitiate on the battle fields OF
the south, had been a frequent observer
of the passing out of my fellow beings, in
army and in navy, in large hospitals
and military, and in private life, and hence
cannot help feeling that what I have seen
must be fair sample Of the methods OF
dying peculiar to our race.
"The result of these sad observations,
covering eighteen years, is that the vast
majority Of persons do not find death 'suf-
fering and agony.' Many suffer more from
the various illnesses from which they recov-
or than most do in the article of death. A
large proportion become unconcious, and
hence pass away without distress to them
selves; while as regards those who retain q
good measure Of intelligence till life is ex-
tinct, I have been greatly surprised, con.
sidering my early religious teaching to de-
Germ in them an almost general Indifference
to their fate.
II have always supposed that. in spite OF
apparent mental lucidity, disease clouds tn
intellect SO that apathy becomes the ordin-
cry state of the dying. Of the few deaths
have Witnessed the mere onlookers might
call horrible, there was good reason to be-
lieve the patient unconscious.
