Sensations of Freezing.

1t is certainly painful and disagree
able to be sick, but it is an intense
satisfaction TO know that the final
stages of death are accompanied by
no pain whatever only so far as re-
grets may be experienced. Even the
various stages of freezing to death do
not seem TO cause any very uncom-
Portable sensations The pleasures of
freezing are set forth by a Canadian
physician who at one time enjoyed
them. His tongue and then his arms
became stiff, sharp chills ran down
his back, and finally it 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 CRATE
full warmth, which seemed to suffuse
the system and cause an eXhilarating
glow. He was driving, and by this
time had reached house, but he went
on thinking that nothing was now to
be feared The sleigh appeared to him
to glide through the air with great
swiftnesS, and the horses seemed to
fc like birds. 4 sense of exultahon
filled him. and he urged the beasts to
greater speed. The woods on each
side of the road were passed so quick
lv that they became indiStingulShaDle
black lines. Then the jingle Of bells
sounded further and further away un-
til they passed out of hearing III the
distance. He fell gradually into de
Icious slumber. which came near Delng
the sleep of death.

HINTS ON VISITING.
Row to Behave So That You will os

Row TO Behave So That You Will pe
Always Welcome.
First of all you want to learn not to
stay too long. says writer In the
Ladies Home Journal. There is such
thing, you know, as wearing ones
welcome out, and you certainly do not
wish to do that. Then, having discov-
cred exactly the hours at which the
meals are served, you should be on
| time, and if breakfast is at 7.30, and
you have always had it at 9, you must
still get up when the call-bell rings
and be downstairs at 7.30, looking
bright and hungry; and, above all other
things, You must not mention that YOU
have been in the habit of breakfastine
at later hour. If you have friends
III the same place and they should
come to see you, and-we will put it
that way-haye forgotten to ask for
your hostess, suggest to them that YOU
Will go and ask her if she would not
like TO meet them. Insist upon this
courtesy TO her, or else do not return
the call made, and ignore any further
visits. Then if it's a house where only
one maid is kept, take care of your
own bedroom so that you will give as
little trouble as possible If some lit
tie festivity should be gotten up in
your honor, turn in and, putting your
hand to the wheel, give all the help
you possibly can both before and after
the party.
Try and not talk about any subject
that is very personal, and which will
make any one uncomfortable; and, il
your host should be rude enough to
get into any controversy before you.
Keep quiet, or, what is still better, if
you possibly can, leave the room, and
later on refuse to discuss the matter
with anybody. When you go away
carry nothing but pleasant recollec-
tons with you, and forget every family
jar and every family secret that you
may have heard. Then, indeed, will
you always be a welcome visitor and
you will hear some day that your hos
tess says of you: Il like Dorothy to
visit me for she is such comfortable
girl; and my husband and the children
are rs glad to have her as / am.
Never a servant makes complaint Of
her causing any trouble, and each one
OF them is more than glad to do some
thing for her. We say How do you
do!' TO her with pleasure, and Good
by with regret" Now that's what
every one of you wants to have said
about you when you visit.

The late Jackson Wall, of Newbern,
Va. was an interesting Old virginia
gentleman. He WAS seyenty-four years
of age, well off in the worlds sooas
and. everything considered, the most
popular man in his county. NO one Ior
miles around could brew a toddy as
sl,flfully and no one could get the pet,
ter of him at checkers. The LADIES al
liked him. but he remained Dachelor.
His only appearance in public me was
rs a member OF the State Leglsla lure
for two terms, but this was sufncien1
TO enable him to bring away from Rich-
,nond the sobriquet of Governor ana
- leave behind an excellent reputation

Isesieped hy Great Land -Crahs-

Our laboratory in Jamaica was on
the side Of a rocky limestone hill.
hOneycombed in all directions by
cracks and assures and large caves, all
inhabited by big Iand-crabs, which
came out every night, usually in pairs,
to forage around our home. They
would climb the steep stone terrace
and the high steps to our door, where
they would stand peeping inquisitively
through the crack of the door. and
waiting and watching until the house
was quiet Whenever we looked UP
from our work in the evening we were
sure to see at least one gentleman
crab. and his wife beside him. standing
on tiptOe and cooking their long stalk
ed eyes. on the watch for a chance to
slip in and explore the house. AS soon
as we were well settled at our work
they would creep stealthily in and
wander everywhere, although they
were especially fond of climbing up
the mosquito nets to the oanopies over
our beds.
A crab hunt was the last event of
our day, and it was not without ex-
citement, for while the animals are
generally peaceful and well behaved,
they have big, formidable claws, and
they always fight when cornered. They
cannot be driven out, for while they
are timid and deSirOuS to escape, they
never go out of the door, but run side
ways along the walls, tumbling over
each other in their eagerness, until
they reach a hiding place behind our
trunks or under the furniture, when
they resist all attempts to dislodge
them, clinging to everything within
reach and waving their big claws in
the most threatening way.
| soon learned that the way to clear
the house is to sweep them with a
broom into the middle of the floor be-
fore they have time to hide, and then,
keeping them well away from the fur
| niture and door-casingS, to hurry
them along until they are opposite the
open door. and to shoot them out with
a push which sends them over the
steps and clear of everything, down
the hill, for if they are simply pushed
out they hang by the tips of their
claws over the wall and out of sight,
ready to come back as soon as the way
is clear-Scribner.

One of Michigan's railroad oompau
les decided last week to establish q
freight and ticket office at RI, a
small flag station in the southern part
of the State, and the grocery keeper of
this hamlet was commissioned as agent,
says the Detroit Free Press.
The honor thus conferred on Mr.,
