AT LAST MOMENTS.
Doctor Roosevelt Says That Death is
Not Grim Monster.


]. w Roosevelt NJ. D., in Scribuers,
Familiarity with death is apt to alter
ones earlier conceptions of it. Two ideas
are very generally accepted which expe-
rience shows to be false. one is that the
dying usually fear death, and the other,
that the act Of dying is accompanied by
pain. 1t is well known TO all physicians
that when death is near its tcrrors do not
seem to be felt by the patient. Unless the
imagination is stimulated by the fright

death, or of the suffcrings which some be-

days or hours OF life are passed IN dread
Oliver Wendell Holmes has recorded his
DrOtest against the custom of telling n
person who does not actually ask to
know that he cannot recover As that
loving observer OF mankind asserts, so
must everyone who knows whereof he
speaks assert, that people almost always
come to understand that recovery rs i'm
pOssible. II Is rarely necessary to tell
anyone that this is the case When ma

be as little feared as sleep. Most sick
persons are very, very tired: sleep-long

never seen many people die. have never
seen one who seemed to fear death eX-
cent when IL was, or seemed to be, rather
far away. Even those who are constantly
haunted, while strong and well, with a
dread Of the end Of life forget their fear
when that end Is az hand.
AS for the act Of dying-the final pas
sage from life 20 death-it rs absolutely
without evidence that the oft-repeated
assertions OF its painfulness are made.

Among the attractions at the San Fran
cisco fair was a trained-fea exhibit. Since
the exposition closed the proprietors of
the insect circus have had row, and at
present one of them is cooling his heels in
the city prison, the partner who is still
at large having had him arrested on a
charge of petty larceny The patrons of
the trained-aea outfit will be interested to
learn that the show was a fake of the
rankest kind, that 80 per cent of the in
sects were dead when exhibited, and that
the men who manipulated the concern
knew no more about the true inwardness
of training feas than they did of the
social habits of the tuberculosis bacilli.
The warning partners are Frank Ry-
man and John Burgess. They are both
English, and it is Burgess who is at pres

chapel or some equally notorious Stun in
far-away foggy London.
Before he fell foul of the strong arm Of
the law he exhibited a fondness for BIZ
cycling. and it was at the Cyclery that he
first conveyed to an admiring crowd the
information that the flea show was a de-
fusion and a snare.
