Death Patnlaas.

The act of dying, it is now ascertained, is absolutely free from suffering; is really un- conscious. insensibility always preceding it., says the Forum for October. Any anguish that may attend mortal illness ceases before |khe close, as thousands who have recovered, after hope had been surrendered, have borne witness. Sudden and violent death, shock ing to the senses, may not be, probably is not, painful to the victim. Drowning, hang ing, freezing, shooting, falling from a height, poisoning of many kinds, beget stupor or numbness of the nerves, which is incempati- ble with sensation. Persons who have met with such accidents and survived them testi- fy to this. Records to the effect are number less.

A retired government clerk died in Vienna few days ago and bsqueathed . consider able sum of money in these terms: "Up the second flight of stairs there lives at door No. 63 widow who has two daughters. I leave the sum of s0.OO0 Aerins to the one who al- ways nodded in such friendly way when she met me-" The two sisters fell out as to which of them the old gentleman had left
 the money. Legal proceedings are impend-
 ing, but the lawyers are said to be inclined for compromise by dividing the money. Some of the Catholic societies of Chicago are in open rebellion against the church be- cause of the interference of the priests in their affairs. Nearly TOO communicants have been excluded from one church for this req son. The priest insists that the societies shall be under the control of the archbishop and under the direct management of the parish priest; that the latter shall preside at all meetings, have the veto power in slec-
 tions and supervise all changes in constitu-
 ton and bylaws.

Aftnr the YellnM Ecker.

As soon us the epidemic is over the
first step would be to have a thorough
and systematic house to house investiga-
ton, and all places carefully noted where
cases occurred. In these houses the mat
tresses. blankets, carpets and woolen
materials should be burned. The linen
and cotton goods could be effectually dis
infected by thoroughly boiling in a COM
pound prepared for this purpose, BY
this means. | think, the city could be
freed from the microbes and another Wis.,
itation next season fully prevented.
To do this would cost a great deal, and
that is one reason why the government
could do it far more effectually than any
committee OF other authority. 1t GER
tainly would cost from 800, 900 to
$4,000, and perhaps more. including,
of course, payments for goods destroyed
10 those who could not afford to lose
them.
II will take fully two months to do all
this, but something energetic must be
done, for it will not do TO have a second
epidemic. A season like this costs this
country an immense amount of money,
and no expense should be spared in
stamping it out.-Dr. Porter in New
York World.

From the Great pipestone Quarry.

There is much TO indicate that the In
dams for many generations have highly
priced the pipestone for the manufacture
Of their pipes, and that it has been ex-
tensively used by the red man for pipe
sculpture throughout North America.
Chips Of the stone, beads, arrow points,
hatchets and pipes of this material have
been taken from graves, mounds and
wells, wen plowed up from fields. in the
various states, from Mas sachusetls to
Georgia. The Dakota Indians employ
se~venty-five different patterns in rs many
materials. but the calumet is the one
venerated. Mr.. Edwin A. Barber SAYS.
'The fact that this stonG has been taken
from Indian graves in The state Of New
York, and that others were found on an
ancient site of a village in Georgia, at
opposite points, 1900 miles from the
pipestone quarry in Minnesota, reveals
the great extent of intercommunication
which formerly existed among this North
American people. There is certainly
strong presumptive evidence hat the
stone of the Coteau des Prairies has been
used for centuries, and perhaps a much
longer time. Helen Strong Thompson

Superstition Rife Today,

People are wont TO boast of the en-.

ence being that now people are ashamed

a real estate man: 'There is nothing
which gives a building a lasting black eye
quicker than a report that it is or was
haunted. The slamming of a door, the
rafting Of a window, the knocking down
OF a tin pan by pussy cat are all the work
OF ghosts in such buildings. And the
worst Of it is that people are just as
afraid Of a new building erected on the

His Bodily Presence Was Weak.

remember q case where a small city
congregation that had among its men,
bers scarcely O man that was even fairly
well educated, heard a man preach sew
eral Sahbaths. He was a graduate OF a
New England college and of one Of the
best of our theological seminaries, a man
of good address, scholarly and gentle
manly in his pulpit manners, a careful,
thoughtful sermonizer and a fluent
speaker. He was dsliked; and when
some of the chief men were questioned
as to the cause of dissatisfaction, they re-
piled. ''iIe doesn't have a commanding
presence.
The readers Of this letter will recall one
Of old Of whom il was said that his
bodily presence was weak and his speech
contemplate; but they will be forced TO
admit that Paul was. after all, something
OF a preacher. This congregation in
search of q commanding presence were
a feeble folk, numerically and financially;
and though the Lords people, however
poor and weak. ought, theoretically. to
have tie very best in the way of spiritual
food, vet as things are in the church, as
well as in the world, it is a question
whether they were wholly wise in looking
for perfection in the Lords vessel, and
whether they were not too slow in ap-
preciating the Lords grace contained in
il; and although ministers ought not to
be rated by the amount Of salary that they
receive, still this incident will remind
many of the man who said, concerning

What Constitute. a blonde.

Few people understand what consti-
tutss a blonde. Every lady with light
hair is not a blonde. The word we get
from the French. The adverb blonde,
On the authority of Clark, the eminent
philologist, is defined as meaning fair,
light OF flaxen, referring to any object,
whereas Simmonds describes a blonde as
being "a oma Of fair complexion. T"
These definitions are given in Worcester's
dictionary. If you will give the matter
. moments thought, you will recall how
many ladies have light hair and dark
complications. / venture to say that in
all the galaxy Of beauty at the Yelled
Prophets ball there were not fifty ladies
who came up to the strict requirements
Of f1axen hair and absolutely fair COM

The Mother In China.

In motherhood alone does the Chinese
woman find protection and honor. Yet
even here Chinese customs and laws are
peculiar, and even grotesque. A mother
claim absolute obedience from her
children, even when they are gray headed
and themselves fathers of families, but
she is still only a = and a drudge to
her husband. In the event of her death,
her sons must, by Chinese law, wear
mourning, and go about with unshaven
heads for a hundred days; but her hus-
band would render himself an object of
ndicule among his friends IL he put on
mourning for her. Chester Holcombe in
Youths Companion.

At the age Of three mopths a rash (which after.

He said teething was the cause he prescribed some

and head. Another NJ. d. was called. He pro.
fessed TO know all about the case, called II "king's
Evil" and prescribed g~unpowder, birthstone, and
lard mixed Into . salve; but the disease continued.
They could not 90 anything with IL. Another pre-.
scribe1 borax, water. and -four; another, inseed
poultices. None Of them did me any good at all,
but made me worse. The disease continued uD-
abated; IL spread 10 my arms and legs, TIL ! was
laid up entirely. and IRON continually sitting on
the floor on a pillow my limbs contracted so that l

MY SNOW IMAGE.

lraised An image when the snow lay white
An image fair with eyes that sparkled bright
And form that shone serenely through tho
night.
The frost was bitter, and the tempest blew
So keen. 1t p creed the forest through and
through;
Yet still my figure stood and stronger grew.
At last the breeze blew mild and sunlight
shone,
When 10, 1 looked.-my image fair was gone
Dead ashes for its feet, its heart stone.
Sorrow, was thy lesson told in vain!
Hethought that II built from care and pain
: An image bright, some glory would remain.
Ere long the year to ripper fullness grew;
Glad swallows through the sunny copses new,
And where the image stood, bright daisies
blew.
All gone the icy stiffness and the snow;
wandered through the dewy meads, and loi
Like thawing streams felt my hfeblood flow.
O snowy image did sigh for thee?
The May-blooms hung in garlands from the
tree,
And golden kingcups dappled hill and lea.
No more Of ice nay handiwori shall rise,
But weaved of sunny light from earth and
skies,
And glean:ngs gathered in by grateful eyes;
No more OF cold contentment or despair,
But steadfast Hope, whose breath shall be a
prayer,
And Love. whose light shall show that life is
fair.
