THE DEATH AGONY.
a Physician Says 1t Exists Mainly in the
Bel.clder's Imagination.

a Physician Says 1t Exists Mainly in the
Bel,clder's Imas ,ination.
''NIany persons WONDER" said a house
doctor of Il well~k1lown hospital to q
New York Telegram reporter, chow
physicians can watch unnoyed the
death Of ii person whose dissolution is
seemingly accompanied by evidence of
great suffering, and the remark is q
common one that doctors are heartless
and unfeelin{y. This harsh criticism is
founded on q wrong idea Of things.
The fact is that what is known as the
death agony is largely restricted 10 the
imagination of the watcher at the bed
side of the dying person. The visible
spasrns and distortions Of the facial
muscles which in many cases mark the
ending of life are not only painless: but
take place unconsciously SO far as the
dying person is concerned.
Gwen in case Of death by hanging,
where the prolonged agony Of the suf-
ferer is feelingly described b. wit
nesses, it is reasonably certain that in
a few moments the person becomes un-
conscious and dies in that condition.
Such has been the experience Of per-
sons accidentally OF purposely hanged,
but afterwards resuscitated. IT. is d
fact that people who have been nearly
drowned agree in the statement that
after few moments of painful strug~
gle a feeling of tranquility ensues.
"The suffering is while the re-
suscitated person is being brought back
to consciousness. Then it is he often
suffers physical pain and mental misery.
1t is a merciful dispensation of God and
nature that, when the last moments Of
the dying man are at hand, vital forces
give out, and the long-draW'n-o11t gasps
for breath come and go, the apparent
sufferer is happily in a comatose condi-
ton, and SO passes painlessly into the
other life"

On Se1fShneSs.

-Selfshness, not money, is the root Of
all evil, says Texas Siftings. All the
great schemes for the improvement Of
mankind fail from ignoring the natural
saltishness Of all mankind. The theo-
ries of the nationalists sound beautiful
and their arguments are convincing un-
til YOU take into consideration the hui
mainly Of man, and his humanity is sell
dshness. Both socialists and cou1mun
lists lose sight of this, and Of anarchy
selfshness is the keystone. The sue
cessful man, the man who piles up his
thousands long after he acquired more
than he can possibly enjoy, is but CIV
ing play to his selfish instincts to keep
from the less fortunate all he can and
make it his own. The man w]-o &C
quires wealth may not be more selfish
than other men, but he has with his
selfshness the faculty of gratifying it
to a greater extent than others. Turn
whatever way he will, the theorist is
confronted by the insurmountable wall
of individual selfshness, and until the
nature of man is changed his hopes
must fail.

BATHING in THE BUFF.
Preadamite Habits That Prevail in East
ern Europe and Mexico.

Pre00amtC6 H8O1CS In6C IT0fAh Ia A/asS-
ern Europe and Mexico.
A gentleman who knows eastern
Europe well sends me, says Labouchere
in London Truth, a highly interesting
account of what he has seen in that
part, with a view Of showing that a
great deal too much Indignation has
been caused by Mr.. Calderon's sup
posed insult to st. Elizabeth. My cor
respondents view is that a few articles
of clothing more or less are of no con-
sequence in the eyes of female modesty
in that part of the world, and that the
same preadamite sentiment might have
prevailed in medieval Hungary:
"a few years ago, as in a carriage
with post horses approached the river
Buzco, saw handsome open carriage
coming from the town of the same
name, which stands about half mile
from the stream. On the box seat were
coachnan and footman in smart
liveries. In the carriage was a young
lady. When she arrived at the stream
she, standing in the carriage, undressed
herself and walked, naked, into the
Positions, passed through the ford
there was no bridge then - within
twenty yards of her. There was no
surprise She must have seen my car
rage as saw hers for fifteen or twenty
minutes before we met.
again in the river Dim bovitza, which
runs through Bucharest, any hot sum-
- nd Tr11s 1C
might in those days-and probably may
noev--be seen bathing without any gar
ments.
'sTo come to later times: On Septem-
Der Is, 1878, crossed the Danube from
Giurgevo to Rutschul1 in a rowboat. As
we slSirted the banks on the Roumanian
shore we passed close to numbers of
young girls bathing. | could tell many
other incidents, but I think { have said
enough to show that our standard OF
propriety did not obtain SO late as 1878;
nor did it probably at a much earlier
date in the adjoining country. Even
now Hungarians are not prudish.'
I can we'll conceive that all this oc-
Cured in the east, for in the west
Inc same pfeauanlte I'D plIS usetl
to prevail thirty years ago. I remem-
Der then passing some weeks in town
situated in Mexico All the inna bitants
used to go down to a river every even
ing to battle, just as people here go to
the park for a drive. And everyone
bathed-men, women and children-to-
gether, without a vestige of clothing.
It struck me as peculiar at first, but
after q, few days I became SO accustomed
to it that I regarded it as the most ordi-
nary of customs, and frequently dis
ported myself in the water with the
mayor, the authorities, and their wives
and children.
