James MCFARLAND, assistant general

Office, said:
''There are some developments in the
famous Graves murder case that never

Pending the second trial received
a note from young man in Boston
stating that he thought he could fur

Accordingly Prosecuting Attorney Ste

story was that one night last April he
had been visiting friends in the neigh
borhood of Boston and had gone to the
station to board the train. While wait
ing by himself he was approached by a
fine looking man, who asked if he could
write. Upon this the man said. ]

showed this to the boy, who immedi-

not die, says medical writer in Kate
Fields Washington. The temporary
suspension of all the phy1ica 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
Inconsistencies resemble the sensa-
tions of those who have actually felt
the earthly house of this tabernacle
dissolved. Inconsistencies is not
death. 1t only effectively resembles
it. Physicians at the bedside of the
dying, while holding the Pickering,
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 a life goes out 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.
A mother hearing me whisper at her
beside: ''She is dying" opened her
eyes and replied: 'I'l be better in a
minute" though when the minute had
elapsed she had given her last sigh
her last heart-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 well soon,"
and fell back on his pillow, dead.
These expressions show clearly that
the putting on of. Immortality was I'M
accompanied by sensations indicative
of the change.
In great Majority of cases death is
preceded 10y 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 illumined for a single instant by
returning consciousness. Deathbeds
are rarely painful.

ARCTIC INSECTS.
Immense Quantities of Larvae Brought
Down by Glaciers.

Immense Quantities of Larvae Brought
Down by Glaciers.
1t is matter of surprise to all who,
for the first time, have any experiences
in high northern latitudes, to note
the great abundance of insect life in
Alaska. The writer of this paragraph,
says Meehan's Monthly, was especially
interested in noting the large amount
of larvae 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
er forms of animal life which prevail.
Fish especially are in such quantities
near the coast, attracted by this
abundance, that it seems like repeat
ing the tales of Baron Munchausen to
the listener. The young son of the
writer, who was with him in this ex-
petition, 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 endeavors 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
a 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
good chance for honey and pollen-col-
lecting insects to lay up rich stores in
advance of their long Arctic winters.

THE PILGRIMAGE TO MECCA
Wells of That City Are Among the Prin-
cipal Sources of Cholera

Wells of That City Are Among the Prin-
eipal Sources of Cholera.
Apropos of dispatch from Tunis
which says that out of a. body of nine
thousand pilgrims who visited Mecca
one-half died of cholera, and that of the
seven hundred Turkish soldiers sent
after the pilgrims to bury the dead and
help the living five hundred persisted,
the New York Herald gives some ac-
count of the sacred city and the
sacred professions. 1t is estimat-
ed that the pilgrims annually
number from fifty to seventy thousand.
They come from all parts of the
Mohammedan world, Tor every Mos
lem is bound under certain conditions
to pay at least one visit to the holy
city. Mecca, as is well-known, lies
in the heart of a mass of rough
hills, intersected by narrow valleys.
Its regular population is supposed to
be about fifty thousand, but the city
always contains many more persons,
for before the pilgrims to one festival
have left those to another begin to ar
rive. The streets are fairly spacious,
but very poorly kept. There is a
good supply of pure water, brought
by an underground conduit, but
this is furnished freely only to
townspeople, the pilgrims having
to pay for it. AS result the
latter patronize the wells which
are supposed to be principal sources of
cholera. One of these is the well of
Zemzem, which is the hottest place in
the city after the Kaaba, or temple.
According to Mohammedan tradition
this well is the source from which Ha-
ger drew water for her son Ishmael.
1t is now inclosed in a massive vaulted
building, paved with marble. The
water is eagerly drank by the pill
grims, poured over the body to give
miraculous refreshment, and carried
away in jars. As though the water
and the city's filth were not sufficient
cause for cholera, the sacrifcial
slaughter of thousands of animals,
whose carcasses are left for the sun to
act upon, complete the work of germ
propagation.
The caravans approaching and leav-
ing Mecca are picturesque sights. The
members are full of faith in Allah, and
proud of having attended the great
festival. In the midst of the process
sion guard of honor escorts the pyr-
amidal wooden structure which, under
gorgeous canopy and borne by
camel, contained on the outward jour
ney the sacred carpet which is left in
the Kaaba, Mecca's hottest of holies
On the return journey the great casket
is empty, but even then it remains an
object of generation, and military
guard of honor accompanies it.

As approached the clump of trees,

when l did so he was crouching full

twice at his head between the stems,

bush and came straight at me as fast
as possible, without giving me time to
reload the right barrel. When he was
about five yards off gave him my last
barrel in the chest and jumped aside,
and instantly everything was hidden

The difficulties of my boyhood are still
fresh in my mind and still strangely infu-
ence my views of life. Those early years
and they were years of struggle-in which |
bumped against human nature and studied
It, did more to strengthen me In mind and
character than anything else that has come
In my life since.
/ consider it one of the most fortunate
things to be born poor. The argument that
the poor young man has not an equal chance
with the rich young man is profoundly
silly. In this age Of development, rapidity
Of change and national prosperity the rise
Of a young man depends entirely upon his
individual and faithful effort We have a
distinctly American disease-it is American
push. 1t is contagious, and the sooner a
young man is seized by it the sooner will
he succeed.
1t is a mistake to suppose that million
aires do not work Probably the greatest
and saddest misunderstanding between the
rich man and the poor is that the rich man
does not know how much the poor man
suffers, and the poor man does not know
how hard the rich man works.
