1t is certainly painful and disagreeable
to be sick, but 1t is an intense satisfaction
to know that the final stages of death are
accompanied by no pain whatever only SO
fur as regrets may bc experienced Even
the various stages Of freezing to death do
not seem TO cause any very uncomfortable
sensations. The pleasures OF freezing arc
set forth by Canadian physician who at
one time enjoyed them. His tongue and
then his arms became stiff, sharp chills ,,,n
down his back, and finally 1t seemed as
though his whole body had concealed,
causing an almost entire cessation OF the
hearts action.
This condition Of suffering speedily gave
place to grateful warmth, which seemed
to sutfuse the system and cause an exhils-
rating glow. He was driving, and by this
time had reached house, but he went on,
thinking that nothing WINS now to be fear
cd. The sleigh appeared TO him TO glide
through the air with great swiftnesss, and
the horses seemed to fly like birds A
sense OF exultation filled him, and he urged
the beasts to greater speed. The woods o

ly that they became indistinguishable

sounded farther and farther away until
they passed out OF hearing in the distance

quaint metaphor, his singularly quick eye
for resemblances between incongruous OBJ

combine to impart genuine humor and
sometimes almost poetic force TO the best
