The First Cattle.

The first cattle that were brought
into the American colonies were
landed at the James River plantation
in Virginia, in the year 1907. They
came from the West Indies and were
descendants of the cattle taken to
those islands by Columbus on his
second voyage, in the year 1893. In
1910 several cows were lLnded, and
again in 1911, about 100 head more
were brought to the plant ,tion.
This, therefore was the genesis of
the cattle business in America
In order to encourage the industry
to the fullest possible extent an or
der was passed forbidding the
slaughter of any animal of the bovine
kind under penalty of death. Under
this restriction the number of cattle
increased to 10000 in Virginia alone
before tho end of the year 1919.
The first cattle brought into the
New England colonies arrived at
Plymoth in 1924, and were imported
from England by Governor Winslow
III &c utlltIS duIl t Dlll4 lldNlt up
the cargo .'in black, black and
white and brindle." In 1926 twelve
cows were sent to Cape Ann, and in
1929 thirty more. 1880 about 100
were imported for the exclusive use
of the colony of Massachusetts Bay.
During the same year 103 were sent
from Holland to New York, so that
by the year 1880 there were a good
m any head of "horned cattle" in the
different colonies.
The reader naturally thinks of
these animals as superb specimens
of the bovine race, but they were
not. History that is the curious and
interesting part of history, tells us
that the average weight of fat cattle
in the Liverpool market as late as ITO
was only $40 pounds. What an evo-
luton in 1S2 years.

How Death Feels.

81 was reading an article this
morning on how it feels to die, -
said DR.. W. II. Epworth. mo liv-
ing man can tell how death feels, or
whether the action of dissolution is
accompanied by sensation or not. A
man who through disease or casualty
has lost consciousness become
to all appearances dead-and is then
resuscitated, can really tell us moth
ing about it, for he did not die. The
machinery didnot come to a complete
stand still-the life force did not
leave the body. 1t may be that the
poet has dipped deeper than the
physician into the awful mystery of
death. 1t may be that he has de-
scribed terrors not visible to the
eyes of the medical man, who inter
ests himself only in the condition of
the animal mechanism.
Il have stood by the deathbed of
men who told me they were going to
hell, and saw them pass peacefully to
their long sleep. L have looked at
their dead faces a few minutes later
and saw thereon \ look of fear, of
horror, that was not visible when the
heart gave it's last FAINT throb and
then stood still. have had others
tell me almost with their last breath
that they were going to heaven.
They passed away with wan, weary
faces that were pitiful to contemplate
but before they became rigid smile
as sweet as an angels dream over
spread the pallid features. The deep
lines of suffering faded out and the
aged looked almost youthful, the
weary and worn became radiant.
What causes this change, which
every physician has noticed When
does death occur We say when the
animal machinery stops, when the
breath aud pulse cease.
That is what the doctor calls
