The Death Agony,

"Many persons wonder, said the house
doctor of well known hospital to a New
York Telegram reporter, chow physi-
clans can watch unmoved the death of
persons whose dissolution is seemingly
accompanied by evidence of great suffer
ing, and the remark is a common one
that doctors are heartless and unfeeing
This harsh criticism is founded on a
wrong idea of things. The fact is that
what is known as the death agony is
largely restricted to the imagination OF
the watcher at the bedside of the dying
person. The visible spasms and distor
tions of the facial muscles, which in many
cases mark the ending of life, are noI
only painless but take place uncon
sciously so far as the dying person is con.
cerned
Even in cases of death by hanging
where the prolonged agony of the sufferer
is feelingly described by witnesses, it is
reasonably certain that in few mo-
ments the person becomes unconscious
and dies in that condition. Such has
been the experience Of persons, acci
dentalIy or purposely hanged, but after
ward rpsuscitated. 1t is fact that peo-
Pile who have been nearly drowned agree
in the statement that after few mo-
ments of painful struggle a feeling OF
tranquility ensues.
The suffering is while the rcsuscitated
person is being brought back to conscious
ness. Then it is he often suffers physical
pain and mental misery. 1t is a merc;-
ful dispensation of God and nature that
when the last moments of the dying man
are at hand vital forces give out, and a3
the long drawn out gasps for breath
come and go the apparent sufferer il
happily in a comatose condition, and 81
passes irlcssly into the other life.

They came into the street car together
Sunday afternoon, a little bit of young
mother-still pale with the delicate pal
lor the cheeks of young mothers often
wear. Behind her there came great,
tall, awkward young fellow with the
baby in his arms. He had all the awk-
wardness and the clumsiness of the aver
age young father who goes abroad for the
first time with baby of his own on his
arms. He held it up to his broad, full
chest so gently and so tenderly in the
hollow of one of his big red hands, a
frail, helpless little bundle of humanity,
FOR which that great giant would lay
down his life.
"Shan't take him now" asked the
baby's mother when she sat down.
mo, no; I'll hold him." he said, as he
gathered up the baby's long ruffled and
tucked white skirts to keep them from
touching the car floor after he had sat
down.
"When you get tired holding him III
take him, she said.
"Oh, he won't tire me any. lie isn't
any heavier than bird, " was the reply.
And there they sat oblivious TO every
thing and everybody but the baby, their
baby! Its coming had been to them the
beginning of the real home epic, and its
tiny presence had made their little world

scrpcntine we're found by Nj Terry H.
the Columbia, Willamette. Rogue auU
klamath river valleys. Ia reaching Il
conclusion in regard to the origin of nv
merous stone heads he has discovered. Mr
Terry believes that the monkeys which
the carvings represent once existed in tn
Columbia Valley, or that, in the remut,
oast, migration of natives from some
region containing these monkeys reached
this valley and left one of the vivid inn
pressions of their former surroundings in
these imperishable sculptures.
Mr.. Terry has at the museum building,
Central Park, New York, collections
which cost over$6 900 to secure and trans
port, not including travelling expenses.
In his researches he often employed Il
number of men to assist in making eX-
cavatons. He visits New York daily,
and devotes his entire time to arranging
his specimens and studying them. In the
course of few months he will make
another journey to the Pacific coast, after
which he hopes to give to the world some
of the most astounding of the results of
his investigations.

A Clock That Belonged to Washington,

There is i'll a Sutter street watch
makers establishment an old clock witt,
a history. 1t was onced owned by
George Washington. The watchmakr,
who has been repairing it says that he
recognizes that it is of English make and
that it must date back at least a couple
of centuries. Its present owner is Dr.
II. Ii Macdonald, who has documentary
evidence in support of the claim that i,
was once the property of the first Presi-
dent of the United States. 1t ha,
been in possession of the bankers family
for many years.
The works are very simple and strong,
the motive power being supplied by tw"
large weights. The case is of solid ma.
hogony, almost devoid of ornamentation
and not unlike in general design the hal,
clocks which, under the name on
modern antiques" were fashionable IL
year or two ago. The dial is a curiosity.
1t is made of bronze. the circular pol.
!ion being silvered and bearing engraved
,ubdivided circles on each side of tho
Roman figures. The inner circle is.
strangely enough, divided into twenty
four parts so that the hour hand alone
denotes the portion of the completed
hour The exterior circle is subdivided
in the usual way to denote the sixty
minutes. There is a small inner dial
round which the second hand moves in
Il very jerky manner very foreign to the
easy modern escapement movement. In
the semicircular space above the dial
there is an elaborately engraved move
able image of the moon, the varying
phases of which are regularly displayed
in consonance with the movements of
the heavenly body itself. The day and
date of the month are also indicated. and

NO USE FOR CAVALRY.

Would BE Annihilnted by the Quick
Firing Arms OF These Days.
A military writer in the NnFfccHh
Century says: Magazine and machine
guns would seem to sound the knell
of possible employment of cavalry in
battle. No matter how dislocated are the
infantry ridden at, so long as they are not
quite demoralized, however ruse the
cavalry leader-however favorable to
sudden unexpected onslaught is the
ground-the quick firing arms of the
future must apparently stall off the most
enterprising horsemen. Probably if the
writer were arguing the point with Ger
man, the famous experiences OF Won
Bredow might be adduced in bar of tins
contention. In the combat of Ioblt5-
chall. in 1866 Won Bredow led his culra5
sier regiment straight at three Austrian
batteries in action, captured the Is guns
and everything belonging to them, with
the loss to himself of but 10 men and
eight horses. 1t is true, says the honest
official account, that the ground favored
the charged, and that the shells fired by
the unusually skilled Austrian gunners
flew high. But during the last l00yards
grape was substituted for shell, and
Bredow deserved all the credit he got.
Still stronger against my argument was
Bredow's memorable work at Mars la
Tour, when, at the head of six squadrons.
he charged across 900 yards of open
plain rode over and through two separate
lines OF French infantry, carried a line o:
cannon numbering nine batteries, rode
600 yards further into the very heart
of the French army, and came back with
n loss of not quite one-half of his strength.
The Todtenritt. as the Germans call it,
was a wonderful exploit, a second Bala-
kIava charge, and a bloodier one, and
there was this distinction, that it had
purpose, and that that purpose was ac-
cheyed. For Bredow's charge in effect
wrecked France 1t arrested the French
advance. which would else have swept
A!rcnslebcn aside, and to its timely effect
is traceable the sec Ience of events that
ended in the capt. lation of Metz.
The fact that although from the begin
ming of his char e until he struck the
front of the first French infantry line,
Won Bredow took the rifle fire of Il whole
French division, yet did not lose above
so men. has been notable weapon i'll tlG

airy can charge home on unshaken i'll.
famtry.
But never more will French infantry
shoot from the hip as Lafont's conscripts
at Mars la Toursho in the vague direction
of Bredow's squadI ms. French cavalry
never got within yards of German in
fantry even in loose order, and the mag
azine or repeating rifle, held reasonably
straight will stop the most thrustin.r;
cavalry that ever heard the "charge"
sound.

The Laugh Was on the wit.

Romieu, the famous Partisan wit, was
one day caught in shower, and forced
to seek refuge in a doorway of the Opera
House. 1t was o'clock already, and he
had an engagement at the Cafe de Paris
for that very hour. The rain fell in
torrents. There was no carriage to be
had. He had no umbrella What was
to be done?
While he was lamenting his bad luck,
gentleman with large umbrella passed
by. Romieu was seized with a sudden
inspiration. He rushed out and grasped
the stranger by the arm, and gravely in
stalled himself under the protecting UNI
brela.
Il am overjoyed to see you, " he i'm

for you for two weeks. l wanted to tell
you about Clementine.
Without giving the stranger time to
express his surprise, Romieu ratified
away with gossip and anecdote until he
had led the unknown companion to the
door of the Cafe de Paris. Then he
glanced at him with a face of well
feigned astonishment
Pardon, monsieur" he cried; ut
seems am mistaken.
IL believe so, said the stranger.
"Good gracious! added Romieu. "Be
discreet; don't repeat what l have told
you"
Il promise YOU"
"A thousand pardons!"
Romieu hastened within the cafe, and,
amid great laughter, told the adventure
to his friends. Suddenly one of them
said:
"Your cravat is rumpiel."
Romieu put his hand to his neck and
turned pale. His pima valuable sap
phire-was gone. On further examination
his purse and watch were found to be-
gone. The man with the umbrella was

This home is built of clay, thimble

In the angels tiara that shine.

Waiting the kiss of the light:
Sweet-scented blossoms of pleasure

Fruit shining ripe on toil'- mountains,
Pearls that sleep under lifc's sca;
Music in Gods laughing fountains
