Some Interesting Facts Based on = Ply
sician's Experience.
THE death agony is very rarely at
tended by pain,' said DR.. Hal. G. Wy
man. 1.-The system is always prepared
for death by weakening of the vital
forces, by the circulation of impure
blood through the brain, and by tho
obtunding of the nerves.
"Of course some people have more
pain than others, but this is largely do
termined by temperament. A nervous
man suffers more pain than a man who
has enjoyed robust health, because the
nervous mans sensibilities are
stronger.
''But the pain of death is more in the
anticipation of it than in the reality.
The instinct for life is stronger in man,
and the majority of men are not ready
to relinquish life. Men of education
face death with greater fortitude than
men who are not educated. Philosophy
has a great deal to do with the art of
dying. The Christian religion, too, has
been great comfort to the human race
in preparing the way for death, and in
giving hope of life hereafter, amount
ing in some cases almost to 4 realiza-
ton of better country beyond the line
of time.
"Women are almost always more
plucky than men. They endure pain
much better. Have you ever observed
how irritable a man is who is suffering
from toothache or neuralgia? A wo-
man will often suffer without q murmur.
All other things being equal, a woman
will face death with more calmness and
fortitude than q man, which may be
partly accounted for from the fact that
the instinct for life is stronger in q
man, and his habits and surrounding
have trained him not to give in so
easily" detroit News.

1t is almost impossible to believe the num-
Der of shades or tones Of color represented in
the gloves Reseda, through many grada-
tons, tones to gray, while there are many
grays which shade to quite another kind of
green. In French kid these have thick
crochet backs, and there is new introduce
ton of much narrower crochet backs which
are now the fashion. There are serpent blues,
blue grays, gray grays, tea greens-indeed,
all the innumerable shades to be found in the
dresses of the period can be matched exactly
in gloves. Colors that are ugly in themselves
look well when they assimilate with the dress
There is a large choice in fawn shades;
some verge almost to yellow, some to drab
and some TO brown. There are two qualities
in suedes; there is still great demand for
the best, but the public are beginning to real
ize that French kid lasts twice as long. A
novelty in the seasons gloves is that the but
tons exactly match the tone of the kid. There
are two new shades-a positive mouse and the
exact tint of wash leather, which is, perhaps,
the color Of all others that goes best with
light summer dresses There is demand
also for the pinky form of drab, which ac-
cords well with some Of the new tapestried
dresses. The old fashioned rife green is com

Neck scarfs for spring and summer have
white or very light grounds, and are smaller
and less pulled than those worn in the winter.
The narrowly folded Ascot scarfs and the
four in hand scarfs tied by the wearer are
the fashionable choice and are worn in light
colors in morning and afternoon alike; the
materials are China silk, armures satins,
China Grape and foulards. In dark colors
navy blue foulard and grayish blue with
large white designs or bold stripes are pre-
ferred. For travelling and general wear are
neat scarfs of washing silk in small broken
plaids, checks or stripes of black, blue, or
brown on white, or else with lines of gayer
colors; these are made up in sailor knots.
For June weddings are white China Grape
scarfs with brocaded designs of small sprigs
or wide cross stripes, Windsor ties-wide bias
scarfs to be tied in bow with ends-are
shown for summer wear in white China Grape

twilled silks with stripes of two shades of one

When the 18th of August brought the close
of the London season, the friends agreed to
renew the partnership next spring, the spin
ster declaring that she had never known so
prosperous n season. Miss -, equally
pleased, felt she had fully earned her three
weeks on the continent, previous to return
to her native land.
The flower box craze, which was intro
duced in New York some years ago, was
very pretty, very much admired, but soon
died out, while other fashions, both ugly and
senseleSs, have taken firm root.
Who viii attempt to account for the vaga-
ries Of fashionl
But the flower craze had two great draw
backs. People found that, for the boxes to
DO ornamental, regular care and a slight
knowledge of plants were requisite. Then,
too, the flowers required light, and the sun
faded carpets and furniture.
To the latter, English people who dislike
newness do not object, while for the former
provision is made as we have seen and new
industry created.
