Tho Natural Death.

The natural death is no utopian
dream Both longevity and euthanasia
are within the reach of mankind. Not
few have already secured both, while
many more may find them 1 have seen
the man. He was old He had neither
pain, anger nor sorrow. Finally his in
tellect began to lose its power His am
bition changed to desire for repose.
His ideas Of space, time and duty lin
gered for a moment, then passed away.
Step by step his powers waned Hap
PLY, painlessly, carelessly the moments
flew. The merry sounds of youth ut play
and the hum Of the busy world only
rocked him gently to sleep On and Oh
ne passed until his intellect ceased and
consciousness was no more. This Is the
true outhanasia 1t suggests no terror;
it inficts no pain; it brings no agony.
