/ but Sensations Of Approaching Dissoiu-
tiOD Are Little Known to Physicians.
Descriptions OF the sensations of
those who thought they were about TO
die, but who passed into more or less
profound state of Inconsistencies and
afterwarl recovered, though intense
and realistic, cannot be accepted as
authentic portrayals of the sensations
OF the dying, since these persons did
not die, says medical writer In Kate
Fields Washington. The temporary
suspension of all the physical signs of
life, as in a trance or lethargy. may so
exactly simulate death that all may
agree that the person is dead. while
yet that indefnable something which
holds the soul to the body remains and
Is capable of reinstating the common
phenomena of life. We have no reason
to assume that the sensations eXpe-
rienced in passing into this state of
unconsciousness resemble the sensa-
tious of those who have actually felt
the earthly house of this tabernacle
dissolved. Inconsistencies is not
death. 1t only effectively resembles
dying. while holding the ficltcring,
weakening pulse beneath the finger,
eagerly watch for some word or sign
expressive of the sensations of ap-
preaching dissolution. Nothing, how
ever, of value ever comes to us. In
deed many life goes ont leaving be-
hind clear indications that there is no
appreciation whatever of the great
overshadowing change that is upou it,
even though the mind remains clear
and active to the last.
\ mother hearing me whisper at her
beside: "Shc is dying" opened her
eyes and replied: IN be better in
minute" though when the minute had
elapsed she had given her last sigh
her last hcart-throb. a little girl
clinging to her fathers hand one sunny
morning said: Papa, light the lamp;
it is getting so dark" and Immediately
expired a young man asked why
do You all cry? shall get we'll soon,"
and fell back on his pillow. dead.
These expressions show clearly that
the putting on of Immortality was un-
accompanied by sensations indicative
of the change.
In great majority of cases death is
preceded by period of unconscious
ness. more or less profound and of
greater or less duration. In this state
the vital spark goes out painlessly and
without any evidence of the mind be-
ing il!umined for a single instant by
returning consciousness. Deathbcds
ars rarely painful.

fr,sncnsa Quantities of Larvm Brought
Down by Glaciers.
II is a matter Of surprise to all who,
for the first time, have any experiences
in high northern ATTITUDES, to note
the great abundance of insect life in
Alaska. The writer of this paragraph,
says Mechan's Monthly, was especially
interested in noting the large amount
of larvr and other low conditions of
animal life which was carried down
from the melting glaciers into the
rivers and streams which flowed from
them. 1t IS TO this that we have to
attribute the great abundance of high
cr forms Of animal life which prevail.
Fish especially are in such quantities
near the coast attracted by this
abundance, that il seems like rcpeat-
ing the tales of Baron Munchauscn to
the listener. The young son of the
writer, who was with him in this ex-
pedition, was, with couple of Indians
in boat, able to drive salmon into
narrow creeks in such abundance that
the boat would be driven against the
fish in their cndcavors to escape They
could have been dragged up in shoals
by any strong and ordinary net. In
the earlier history of Colorado very
much stress was laid on the fact that
Fremont saw bee on one of the high
elevations while crossing the Rocky
mountains. Lieut. Peary in his recent
expedition to North Greenland found
humble bee on the north coast of
Greenland-the highest point Of land
yet reached by human being SO far
as known. This explorer states that
not only bees, but other insects abound
as soon as the spring fairly opens.
Flowers of many kinds are particular
ly beautiful and abundant, affording o
good chance for honey and pollen-col-
lecting insects to lay up rich stores in
advance OF their long Arctic winters.

Cheer UP. cheer UP, my moping mates
And chase away the blues;

Nor yet our places choosel
And some have ruled, and some have served
Since eer the world began;
So, II we cannot be the first

Would never reach the land,

Refused to bear hand;
The tar who swings the sails about

He does the best he canl
We cannot all, in held and hall,
To fame and glory rise;
Though hosts may don the students gown
Not all can win the prizel
For some must fail, as some have failed,
Since ever time began;

WOMEN WORKERS IN BRITTANY.
While tho Men Idle Away Their Time
Their Wives Labor.

The women of Brittany are remark
able for their individuality, industry
and strength of character In "Artis-

the men slumber and smoke, the
women are building little fortunes or
propping up old ones

age at the old Hotel du Lion dor. She
has beautiful name, Augustine, pro-
nounced with enviable accuracy by all
the household.
She hovercd about us like fairy, at
tending to all our wants in the most
delicate way; to outward seeming a
miaistering angel with pure white
wings, but in truth q drudge, me-
thodical housewife, massive and hard
to the touch.
She did the work of three Parisian
garcons, and walked upstairs, unaided,
with portmanteaus which would re-
quire two men to lift, anywhere out
of Brittany. She slept in box in the
kitchen and dressed somehow" in
FIVE minutes. She ate what was left,
cOntentedly, at tho end of the day,
and rose at sunrise 10 do the laborious
work OF the house, helping also at
harvest time in the fields.
She had the sweetest of smiles, when
she liked, an unconquerable habit of
taking snuff, and murderous way of
killing fowls in the early morning
which we shall not easily forget.
How it comes to pass that this girl of
nineteen occupies such an important
position in the household is one of
those things which are peculiar to
Brittany. All through the land, in the
houses, in the factories, and In the
fields, the strong, firm hand and arm
o: q woman does the work.

But The most important factor in this
problem seems not to have been properly
considered in discussion of this subject.
1t is what may be called the Fixed
Charge of the Family. "a poor man
for children" runs the old adage. These
blessings swarm around the small farm
er's door, heslthy, happy and always
buugry-omDivorous as 30 many
ostriches. The support of these must
come from the proceeds of the crop,
whether large or small. This fixed
charge cannot be approximated with any
degree of certainty in the absence of sta
tistics. Reports of the Bureau of Labor
for the iron industry apportion an ex-
penditure of four hundred dollars as fol-
lows: food, one hundred and eighty-five
dollars: clothing, eighty FIVE dollar. +;
fuel and lights, thirty dollars; furniture,
taxes, insurance, sickness, amusement,
religion, ETC., one hundred dollars. 1t is
a sad truth that very many farmers are
compelled to live on much less than this.
But, if we assume four hundred dollars
as the income of the farmer, it will be
seen that if he devotes himself exclu-
sively to cotton in order to secure ad'
vances based on cotton-the only y cash
crop he can make-it will not be enough
to charge against the crop the amount
expended in Legitimate production, such
as ploughing, hoeipg, picking, ginuirg,

Not so Fastldlous as Formerly.

Colonel Barrows, of Texas, was at the
Great Northern yesterday, says the Chi
cago Inter Ocean, and was indulging in
some "reminiscences of the late unpless'
antness while he was in General Ma
gruder's command. "We we're all huH-
cry one morning." said be, "and General
Magruder, going up on a bill, saw a
white house in the distance. He sent an
aid to ask the mistress of the house il
she could not oblige him with meal for
himself and staff.
"While the woman, who was South
ern sympathizer, was preparing the meal
a private of Virginia regiment came
along and asked for food. He was in
formed that the meal was being prepared
for the general and his staff. If there's
anything for you when they 6nish,' she
said, you are welcome to it,
"The Virginian, who was a man Of
good family, waited humbly till the ex'
pected guests arrived, and then crowded
in beside the general and began to eat.
Magruder turned to him little sharply,
and said:
"'Do you know with whom you are
eating, sir ?''
"'No,' said the private, 4 don't. Be
fore the war, sir, was very careful with
whom associated, but now l don't give
g cent"

A Man Behind Him.

He was going home to his wife snd
family. It was growing dark. His
road from the station was lonely one,
and he was getting along as fast as he
could, when he suddenly suspected that
a man behind him was following him
purposely. The faster he went the fas-
ter the man went, until they came to
cburchyard. "Now," he said to himself,
"l'll find out if he's after me-" and he
entered the churchyard. The man fol-
lowed him. Vague visions of revolVers
and garro,ers grew upon him. He made
q detour of a splendid mausoleum. Still
the man was after him, round and round.
At last he turned and faced the fellow,
and asked, "What the dickens do you
want? What are you following me
for 2"
"Well, sir, do you always go home
like this9 l am going up to Mr.. Fiiz
browns house with a parcel, and the
porter at the station told me that if I'd
follow you should find the place, as you
live next door. Are you going home at
all Tonight"

- 1t is rather startling to learn, on the
authority of P. A. Graham in Longman's 8
Magazine for Oc:o Der, that gun flints are
still an article of commerce. So far from
breech leaders and percussion caps hav-
ing destroyed the industry the flint lock
trade has revived, and is now more
iiourishing than it has been for some
sine. Flints used to be exported chief
Iy to Brazil and South America, but now

and prosperous year. I believe that
more factories for cotton and metal and
wood will be built this year in the South
than ever has been in any year. | be-
lieve that more Northern capital will
come down here for investments than
ever has come. I believe that more acres
will be put in cotton than has ever been
and that Texas alone will produce 3,OOO,-
900 bales. Of course, that will drop the
price again to 6 or7 cents, but it can be
made in Texas fer cents or less. III

acre that could and would sell it right

wrong about that If / couldn't sell that
way 1 wouldn't plant but half crop, for
most any other crop will make more
money. What the cotton-picker that
