SENSATIONS At DEATH.
Tho Events of a Lifetime Repeated in the
Brain at Hanging or Drowning.

In BtacblO0od some curious examples
are given by the writer of a we'll
known phenomenon-the fact that the
events of lifetime will pass some-
times in q moment through the mind
of person who is on the point of
death by drowning or suffocation.
Speaking of the death of Lord Ponson-
by, who was hanged by the mob in
Paris i'll 1871. and cut down before life
was extinct, the author says:
He (Lord Ponsonby) proceeded to
give an account of his sensation on re-
turning to consciousness. He could
not have been actually suspended in
mid-air more than few seconds, and
yet in that briet space of time all the
events of his past life passed through
his mind. 1t is true that his life to the
date had not been very eventful one,
being only 10 years of age, but every
past sensation was renewed in all its
freshness. 1t is also remarkable that
he did not at the time experience any
sensation of fear. while, he added. his
was an essentially nervous temper
ament.
This remarkable mental power of
calling up the past in moments of sus-
pended animation l have heard fire.
quently mentioned. One was the case
of Count Zichy, in the revolution of
184S in Vienna. He was caught by
the savage mob. hung like Lord Pos
sonby in the middle of the street, when
his own regiment of dragons charged
down and cut the cords rs he was
swinging in the air. He fell to the
ground and was supposed to be dead;

matter from Lord Ponsonby's. for he
had suffered agonies, and for ten days
had four men constantly with him.
He describes exactly the same sensa-
tions as Lord Ponsonby; the scroll of
what was much longer life was un-
rolled, even the smallest detail rushed
back on his memory; he had the same
fearlessness at the moment, but he felt
all the horrors of the agony when the
danger was past.
A most interesting little book called
"Admiral Beaufor's Experience of
Drowning" bears testimony to this
seemingly universal experience in sud
den danger. Thought succeeded
thought" says the Admiral, with a
rapidity that not only is indescribable,
but probably inconceivable by any one
who has not himself been in similar
situation-the event that had just
taken place, the effect it would have on
my family, and thousand circum-
stances, connected with home, travel
ing backward in time in retrograde
succession" All this proves that du-
ration of life does not depend on
hours, but on the number of impress
sions convey ed to the brain.

Sir Philip Miller, the great English
horticulturist, writing in 1740, says: 1.-THE
best method to have Cabbages good IN to
procure fresh seed from abroad every
year, for it is apt TO degenerate in Eng
land in a few years"
The above is simple illustration Of the
fact that the best seeds, will rapidly degen-
crate under unfavorable conditions. The
wise will take heed, therefore, and buy
their seeds of d. M. Ferry Il Co., Detroit,
Michigan, whose world wide reputation a.
the best and most reliable, as well as the
most extensive seed growers and dealers,
is due to the fact that they take advan-
tage of every circumstance OF climate,
soil, methods Of culture, selection of seed
plants, ETC., to procure the best possible
seeds and keep them up to that high stand.

Diabetes, Bright's disease, gravel and
other complaints Of the urinary organs are
not ordinarily cured in severe cases, but

A useful stimulant of the urinary glands
has ever been found IN Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, a medicine which not only
affords the requisite stimulus when they
become inactive, but increases their vigor
and secretive power. BY increasing the
activity Of the kidneys and bladder, this
medicine has the additional effect Of ex-
pelling from the blood impurities which it
is the peculiar Office Of those organs to
eliminate and pass off. The Bitters is also
purifier and strengthener Of the bowels,
an invigorant Of the stomach ,and q match

His Mind Deranged.

WASHINGTON. October 2l.-William
F. Thorne, son OF James Thorne, who
lives near Oswego, KS, disappeared
last Friday and has not been heard
from since. Young Thorne was pri-
vate secretary to eX-Congressman Per-
kins OF the Third Kansas district for
over three years, and through the in
fuence of Mr.. Perkins was appointed
clerk of the house committee on Indian
affairs.
For some months the young man has
at times been temporarily deranged, as
a result OF a nervous disease. Friday
he left his room for Mr.. Perkins office
but never reached it.
About a month ago Mr.. Perkins in
duce0 Thorne TO go to Harper's Ferry
for his health. The following day he
returned saying: Il left my head In
in Washington, and could not get
along without it." Thorn favored Fort
ress Monroe and left for a weeks visit
there. He returned the next day. He
did not like the hotel accommodations.
He is now thought to be wandering
about in q demented condition.

Tho Cansa Strengthened.

LONDON, Oct. 19.-Parnell was buried
Sunday at Glasnevan, near Dublin, in
the presence Of large assemblage. AS
a scene OF great but suppressed excite
ment and still greater impressiveness,
the funeral and surroundings will never
be forgotten by those who witnessed it.
and will long furnish a landmark in the
history OF Ireland.
Everybody is delighted with the fact
that the Parnell funeral passed of so
peacefully. That there was no disturb
ance was owing to the wise resolve OF
the anti-Parnellites not to be present.
William O'Brien, Joha Dillon and Sex
ton watched the scene from the window
OF a friends house on the route OF pro-
cession. The curtain was kept closed,
so that the three members of parlia-
ment only had furtive glances at the
great demonstration, while they them
selves remained completely hidden from
view. It is said that Mr.. Dillon had ex-
pressed his determination OF visiting
the funeral, whatever the result to him
self, and that 1t was with some difficult
ty that he was induced to run no more
risk than that OF Peeping Tom.
In nearly all the churches OF Ireland
Sunday some allusion was made to the
death OF Parnell. In some instances the
mention was charitable; in other cases
it was a reflection OF the language Of
Archbishop Walsh in the Dublin Cath
olic. Friends of Parnell claim that the
bishop had given secret instructions
that his memory should be attacked by
the clergy, with the view Of injuring
the Parnellite cause as much as posi-
be. In several instances admirers Of
Parnell left their seats In the churches
when they heard anything said Of an
offensive character. Advices from all
parts OF ireland show that the Parnell-
tie cause has been strengthened by his
death, and that he has left party that
viii 90 an under another leader.
