The majority of people die sooner than
hey should. Evidence of this fact is grow

consequence of life; it is due to unnatural
conditions of living neglect, abuse, want"
DR.. stephen Smith, on the same subject,
Man is born 10 health and long life dis
case is unnatural, DEATH except from old
age, is accidental, and both are preventohe
by human agencies" This is almost invari.

use of tea, coffee, tobacco, alcoholic or other
st;mulants are generally the causes of this
difficulty, and Indifference to its progress re-

seen that many prominent and hundreds OF

An old man from somewhere beyond the

moving swiftly eastward with a heavy load
of passengers.

A Misconstrued Message,

Two English clergymen travelling
in the east recently telegraphed to
the British consul at town they
were approaching, not far from the
Armenian frontier, in Persia, 1.-TWO
English clergymen will reach you on
Wednesday" On arriving on the
day named they found the consul
was out, and no preparation had been
made to receive them. On his return
the consul explained that the mes
sage he received ran, 1.-TWO worth
less persons will reach you on We'd
nesday." So he knew something was
going to happen and perhaps thought
it advisable to be out of the way.
However, he duly made up by his
hospitality for any apparent cold
ness in the reception of the travellers.

New England Dialect.

New Englanders of the last genera

writes, II have known largely and
accurately many men and women
whose character, habits and speech
were fully formed before 1S30-in
New England's old times-yet new

the boards are as white as snow after

THE DEATH OF LADDlE.
A Dog Whose Demise Has Been the Cause
of Profound Grief.

| A Dog Whose Demise Has Been the Cause
of Profound Grief.
So many of us knew Laddie and
had looked into his kindly eyes and
patted his honest old head that we
feel warranted in printing Will j.
Davis letter telling of the good old
dogs last moments:
II know your sympathy will be
touched" writes Mr.. Davis, "when
tell you that poor, dear old Laddie-
tried. trusted and true, grieving that
he had his dog friend Prince no more
with him-lay down at the front door
one morning last week and peaceful
~ gave up the ghost.
He was lying there SO naturally
that it was hard to believe him dead.
I was at the farm. He lay all night
Gas was his WON'T at the side of my
wife's bed, and in the morning he put
his nose to her hand and awakened
her; whereupon she reproved him
and said, 'Laddie, you must go down
stairs and not disturb me- So he
went down, and when the servant
opened the door he took his old, ac-
customed place outside, and there,
with his nose close up to the screen
and in his old time position, he
breathed his last.
"You can understand how / felt
when I heard of it-when l heard
that the faithful dog that for years
had met me at my door as I came
home at night and that came every
morning to my bedside for a greeting
was no more"
He had big brown eyes that were
as deep as the sea, and at times they
seemed to look way down into my
heart, searching for the love he felt
his fidelity deserved. He was cour-
ageous and had vast contempt for
tramps. In pluck I never knew his
equal, and he disputed the right of
Lindblom's mastiff to come on our
side OF the street as readily as he
would if Lindblom's mastiff had not
been mastiff, but merely a yellow
cur. And now some wretch has shot
that mastiff tool The dog fatalities
and vicissitudes in Eugene street
would make long, sad chapter"
Some time, of course, we shall know
it all, but by the light that is within
us now what strange mystery is
this feeling that SO many of us have
toward the dog andaother forms of
the higher animal life! Very often
these feelings are"terrifying in their
suggestion and vividness and force.
There must be a reason for and
meaning in it all. But the ightwith-
in us is dim and misty yet. Wemust
wait.-Chicago Record.

The Pillars of Hercules,

The ''Pillars of Hercules" was the
name anciently given to the noun
tains of Calpesa and Abyla, standing
opposite to each other, the one on
the European and the other on the
African shore of the straits which
connect the Mediterranean sea with
the Atlantic ocean. These noun
tains are now called the Rock of Gill
braltar and Jebel Zatant. The word
Gibraltar, which is at present also
applied to the straits, was originally
"Jebel Taric," or Mountain of Tar

Education Diminishes Crime.

Education enlarges, strengthens
and refnes the brain, gives it close
ness, determines its growth, and just
so far as criminality has anything
to do with the insufficient brain edu-
cation will abate it, and the malnu.
triton of the system, with its re-
fiex action on the nerves, will be
overcome by the work and wages
that education will increase. 1t is
not agreeable to dwell upon this
darko side of human nature, but if
we know nothing about it we shall
do nothing for it, and surely there is
not a dark spot upon the earth to
whose publication we should not SET
our minds and hands. -Harper's Ba

body should be held erect, the shout
ders down, chest extended, and the
leg moved from the hip, the whole
figure above being immovable. The
movement from the knee is said to
be the secret of bad walking, COM
bined with the discomfort of tight
shoes and high heels, which turn the
figure in a most disgraceful manner.

Killing the Mountain Lion.

While making the descent to secure
the game the hunters came suddenly
to a huge rock on the mountain ex-
tending toward like mass on the
opposite side of the chasm. On reach
ing it Don Felipe uttered a cry of
precaution and pointed across the
canyon. There in its sanctuary stood
in strong relief against the rock the
great cat of the Sierras- the noun
tain lion-its head raised in listen
ing attitude. The whole position was
SO noble and impressive that it was
some seconds before the rifles cracked
and the fierce yell of the wounded
animal broke the stiffness. 1t turned
quickly and savagely, snarling and
biting at the wound in its flank; then,
being struck again, whirled and,
blinded by pain and fury, sprang or
rolled over the precipice and went
laundering down the side of the can
yon, lodging dead in the chaparral
far below.
THAT chap was a-lying for doe, !"
said the old mountaineer as later he
came up the mountain with the skin
of the lion over his back. "They
kill more deer in and out of season
than all the hunters in California put
together, and when your folks say q.
mountain lion amt up to the mark
don't you take any stock in it. No,
I never knew one to kill man, but
they will tackle grizzly, and I've
seen 'em tear a horse so that the
owner didn't know him when he saw
him. I've killed the mountain lion
from the Rockies down to San Ber-
nardino, and when they're cornered
they are as bad as regular lion,
from all / have read. "-Northwest
Magazine.
