DEATH COMES PAINLEssL.Y.
A Scientific Opinion that VIII DO Goa
Holing to All Humanity.


The signs of impending death are
many and variable. No two instances
are precisely Identical vet several
signs are common to many cases.
Shakespeare, who observed everything
else, observed and recorded some Of
the premonitory signs of death also.
In the account of the death of Falstaff
the sharpness of the nose, the GOODNESS
Of the feet, gradually extending up
ward, the picking at the bedclothes,
are accurately described.
For sometime before death indica-
tons OF it, approach become apparent,
says the Medical Herald. Speech
grows thick and labored. the hands ii
raised fall instantly. tae respiration is
difficult the heart losses its power to
propel the blood 70 extremities, which
consequently become cold. a clammy
moisture oozes through the pores Of
the skin the voice grows weak and
husky OF piping. the eyes begin 10 lose
their luster, In death at old age there
IS gradual dulling of all the bodily
senses and OF many OF the mental fac
ultics, memory fails. judgment waivers,
imagination goes out like u candle.
Tho muscles and terdons get stiG.
the voice breaks, the cords of the tab
ernacle are looscning. Small noises
irritatc, sight becomes dim. nutrition
goes on feebly, digestion is impaired.
the secrptiOns are insufficient or witt
oted or cease, capillary circulation is
clogge1. Finally the central organ OF
the circulation comes to stop. a full
stop, and this stoppage means q disso-
Luton. This is the death Of old age,
which few attain to.
At--pseople have an idea that death
is necessarily painful, even aeonizing;
but there is no reason whatever to sup
pose that death is more painful than
birth II is because in Il certain pro
portion of cases dissolution is accom-
panied by visible spasm and distor-
ton OF the countenance that the idea
exists, bat It's nearly as certain as any
thing can be that these distortions OF
the facial mueles are not only painless
but take place unconsciously. In many
instances, too. 4 comatose or semicom-
atose state supervenes. and it is alto
gether probable that more or less IN
consciousness then prevails.
We have, abundant evidence Of pao-
pie who have been nearly drowned
ald then resucitated and they all
agree in the statement that after few
moments Of painful struggling, fear
and anxiety pass away and state of
tranquility succeeds. They see the
visions Of greea fields, and in some
eases hear pleasant music. and. so far
from being miserable, their sensations
are delightful. But where attempts at
resucitation are successful the resuci-
lated persons almost invariably protest
against being brought back to life. and
declare that resucitation IS accompa-
MED b. physical pain and acute mental !
misery.
Death is that which every man
must personally experience. and con-
IS Of universal interest; and, |

4 great deal of non. Ease has been
talkeI about the question OF whose
place it is to bow first when a lady
and gentleman meet upon the street or
in any public assembly.
II is very absurd to say tha' a man
should always wait until a lady has
recognized him. In this. as in most
other matters, common sense and
mutual convenience are the only
guides. Many ladies are near-sighted,
many others find great difficulty in
remembering faces.
The important thing, Of course. 1 )
that a man should not presume.
When two people meet who are
really acquainted it is not the man
who should necessarily bow first. or
the lady-it is which evcr of them is
the first to perceive and recognize the
other.

breeds have been developed for draft,
trotting and runniI 9, so far as we
/ have studied the hist)ry of horse breed
ing. no united effort has ever been
made to develop 4 general-purpose
breed. This may sem strange when
the service OF a Ia 'ge proportion OF
/ farmers requires n horse of all work
I a little reelection, hn-semen, however
will reveal the fact TO any one that
united effort requires unanimity of
sentiment Intelligent horsemen have
all agreed upon s. ndards of excel
lence for each Of the four recognized
classes Of horses, namely runners,
trotters coachers al drafts. All are
working toward thei- respective stand
ards, but none ella med to have at
tanned to them. While individuals
may have individual preferences. some
admiring more size others more quail
ity all agree upon the general charac-
terisr:cs Of their class.
With the general-I urpose horse it is
different as scarcely two men viii Sc
iect tlse same animil rs their ideal
from a ring OF q dozen or more horses
OF various types. The truth Is, every
man has a special pu pose in his mind,
whether he knows it or not and he
will tell you what it is before you talk
with him many minutes. One man
will tell you he does not want to take
other peoples dust il he does go with
lighter load; another will tell you he
wants Il team that can walk all day
with a plow, running to s inches
deep; and that he wants power in a
team ten times for once he wants
speed. Does not each of those men
(and there arc hosts of farmers Just
like them) have a special purpose in
view and could there be a race of
horses developed to suit these different
tastes?
But even if such &. thing was at
tempted it would not lie profitable. for
there has been a surplus OF that class
OF "betweens, - not heavy enough for
draft and not smart enough for road
sters. nor stylish enough for coachers.
As has been said. specialists never
have. and never VIII reach their ideal.
and Of course a large number Of their
productions cannot be classed as spe-
cial purpose animals Among this
host each buyer can find what suits his
taste cheaper than he can produce it.

HOW SHE CORA NEW pARAsoL

It Took Ingenuity and Clever Fin

She wanted new parasol, sheneed-

mind to have new parasol. She al
so decided not to to ask Tom Tor So
with which to buy a new parasol. As
she didn't know how to earn ST and
new parasols do not grow on bushes
in this latitude it was evident that if
she had new parasol she must make
it.
Looking over the relics OF departed
tinery she found Il parasol OF pongee
silk. 1t was sound as to ribs and
handle; but the silk was dirty. the lin
ing worn, and the shape too flat to be

Then she set her wits to work.
When a woman Is in the habit ofusing
her thinking apparatus and has fin
gers to correspond, she is power in
the land.
By-and-by she emerged from her
brown study and took off the cover
and lining. The cover she washed; the
lining She threw away. She took in
fraction OF an inch ut each seam on
her machine and put bacl, the cover.
The reduction IN diameter pulled down
each rib an inch, and the uniashion-
able llatness had vanished.

frills and what not She found in her
trunk OF scraps-every woman has
one-the mousseline de sole that had
formed the drapery OF a party dress
It was too soiled for further use and

She dipped it in coffee, pressed it, and
it came out a rich, delicate brown.
She put it over the pongee silk and
gathered 1t here and puckered it there.
And there was her new parasol.
