Dying Persons UncOnsciOusness.

IA dying man may be burned with red
hot iron and not feel pain" DR.. Crawford
said to reporter OF the Mail of Stockton,
Gala. CONSCIOUSNESS may remain to the
diving almost to the dissolution, but gener-
ally pe ople lose the power OF thought long
before actual death. In cases of death in
which there seems to be suffering the
writhing and spssms are due to reflex mas.
cular action. Fear weakens TIE nervous
system, and, consequently, hastens death
and the rev er>e OF fear may prolong life. y
The doctor cited medical reporter con
cerning Methodist minister. He lay on
the verge of death, cold and palseless, and
friends around his bed sang his favori,e
HYMN. AS they ceased, and while the ply.
siciars stood timing the death, the minis.
ter's hands moved. and he whispered
"Glory' Resioratives were administered
and an boar later the man had recovered
,, He lived many years after that. He said
he understood every word spoken at his
bedside. Under the nervous excitement
and enthusiasm wrought by the hymn, he
had exerted his muscular strength, and
lived.

The EsQuimaux.

In a lecture upon the Esquimaux, deliv-
cred in London short time ago, DR.. Rae
expressed the opinion that this people was
originally an Asiatic race, who crossed
from Siberia by Behring's Straits. From
Labrador to Alaska they speak but one
language, with slight dialectical variations.
They are physically strong, have great af-
ftction for their children, and are intelli-
gent and faithful. The tallcst male meas
ured by Dr.. Thompson, near Behring' S
Straits, was five feet ten and one-hal
inches, and the shortest was five feet and
one inch; the heaviest weighed 1876 pounds
and the light-st ,.5 pounds. An Esq"i'
muux often eats as much as eight pounds
of seal or twelve pounds of fish at meal
The clothing of this people is made al
most entirely Of reindeer skins, and their
dwellings, usually snug and very comfort
able, consist Of stone and mud kraals, wood.
