Death Not u Grim Monster.

| Familiarity with death is apt to alter
ones earlier conceptions of it. Two ideas
are very generally accepted which expert
ence shows to be false. One is that the
dying usually fear death, and the other,
that the act of dying is accompanied by
pain, says DR.. J. w. Roosevelt, in October
Scribner's.
1t is well known to all physicians that
when death is near its terrors do not
seem to be felt by the patient. Unless the
imagination is stimulated by the fright
full portrayal of the supposed "pangs of
DEATH" or of the sufferings which some
believe the soul must endure after disco
luton, it is rare indeed that the last days
or hours of life are passed in dread.
Oliver Wendell Holmes has recorded his
protest against the custom of telling
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 is impossible;
it is rarely needful to tell anyone that
this is the case.
When nature gives the warning, death
appears to be as little feared as sleep.
Most sick persons are very, very tired;
sleep-long, quiet sleeps what they
want. l have seen many people die-I
have never seen one who seemed to fear
death, except when it was, or seemed to
be, rather far away. Even those who are
constantly haunted, while strong and
we'll, with a dread of the end of life, for
get their fear when that end is at hand.
AS for the act of dying-the final
passage from life to death-it is abso-
lutely without evidence that the oft-re-
peated assertions of its painfulness are
made. Most people are unconscious for
some hours before they die; and in the
rare cases, where consciousness is retained
unmpaired until few minutes before
the end, the last sensation must be of
perfect calm and rest.
1t is worse thsn cruel to add to the
natural dread of deaf h which Expresses
the majority of us while in good health
the dread of dying.

Do you notice that potash Is the hard
est element for a farmer back from the
coast to secure: The greater part of our
potash used for fcrtiliZing purposes
comes from Germany, AND farmers IN
the interior, unless they can obtain
wood ashes, must pay the increase Of
freight and transportation. They can
not understand why they can obtain
bone and blood for Il very reasonable
rate, but must pay much greater price
for fertilizers containing potash when
the eastern experiment stations all quote
il at a very low rate. At the seaboafd
bone and blood are higher and potash
lower than III the west, and for the
same reaSou-viz, the cost of tranSpor-
tation-explains Rural New Yorker,
which also says that a great many Of
the fertilizer trials at the west are of
little value because the farmer who
made them left out the potash almost
entirely. This is great mistake. Blood
and bone alone will not answer on farms
that have been cropped with grain for
many years.

The Attractive Advertisement y.

The we'll written, sensible advertise
ment, attracting you by its buslnessllke
makeup. its forcible statements, its neat
appearance is like the attractive sign on
a businesslike store. 1t causes you to
remember what is offered by the adver-
tiser The prominent and interesting
facts are impressed on your mind, and
even when you lay the paper down you
have pretty clear remembrance of
what YOU have read, all because the
whole thing was presented in an attract
i've manner; and if this result can be
obtained an advertiser has All that tie
can reasonably expect to secure
The theory that attracting attention
will sell goods i. Il mighty poor one for
the storciterprr to believe in.
To he sure. it will help sell Soods but
to make it effective tie advertisement
must be backed up by fact, and withal
it must be well written. After the at
tention of the reader has been attracted
there must be sufficient strength to the
reading matter and a crispness and an
individuality to it that will make him
finish reading Your article.
An advertisement should have an air
Of individuality. Like a certain spring
tonic, it should be peculiar to itself.
Care should be taken, however, not to
initiate. Because one man has made a
wonderful success 10y his methods of adj
vertising, it does not follow that another
man can repeat that success byimita+icn.
In fact it is generally detriment rather
than an advantage to copy after others.
The success of many of our now proml-
nent firms has been due to the exceeding
quaintness, the novel features, the curious
style, etc, of their advertisements, but,
above all, to their attractiveness. Right
there is the sum and substance of good
g-attractiveness; not the Old
stereotyped forlns-the century old meth
DDS of our respected forefathers-but
something new and bright, something
out of the usual: peculiar, odd, unique,
striking, but attractive, no matter in
what form it is put,
Take up a paper anywhere, how dull
and stupid the advertisements are gen.
erally-hoW m0notonous they seem. But
stay; we see, shining out like a diamond
in the dark, striking, catchy advertise
ment. Do we read it? We do! and re-
member it, too

A DANGEROUS SHELL FISH.
Mature Lobster is a Dangerous
Fighter.

a Mature Lobster is Dangerous
Fighter.
A mature lobster is not small or harm
less looking by any means Without the
claws an old fellow should be from one to
two feet in length, and will weigh from
1--WE to fifteen pounds. Smaller ones are
caught more frequently than larger ones,
especially since the competition has be-
come so tierceas to reduce the nun Der and
size all along the New England coast. De-
casionally an "old timer" is caught, one
that weighs as high as twenty-five pounds.
Such monster is veritable fighter, and
fierce struggle is sometimes experienced
before the creature is landed safely
The claws of large lobster are power
full enough to crack the shell of clam or
tossnap off mans finger. Instances are
on record where several fingers have been
thus nipped off and severe injuries have
been inflicted on the hands and arms.
The fishermen are consequently very eau
tious when they land a big lobster, and
take particular pains to see that he is
well secured before taking him out of the
trap.
According to the fishermen of New
buryport, Mass, the lobster sheds his
shell for the first time when he is about
five years old, but no one seems able to
tell how often after that the shedding
occurs.
The young Holsters, a few inches in
length, have very little power to
protect themselves, and they generally
seek refuge under their mothers shell
when danger approaches. If startled by
enemies when away from their mother,
they will run into conchshells or other
places of refuge.
The parent lobster shows the same ma
ternal instinct noticeable in all living
creatures. If her young are pursued by
enemies, she is pretty sure to enter into
the race also. Her powers of locomotion
are pretty good at such times, and her
fighting abilities OF no mean order.
Very few fish or shell creatures can
withstand her onslaught or give effective
battle with her. One stroke of her pow
erful claw will suffice to destroy most
enemies. The food of he lobster consists
for the most part of clans, mus els,
founders, sculpins and other fish that
get within their reach. They seize these
creatures with their strong anterior claws
and holds them up to the mouth while
the substance is slowly sucked in.

WOLVES IN MAINE.


lneN are NOT 1ltHtS, but dft 'Ntti
Quite Frequently.
There has of late been some discussion
as to whether there are any wolves in
Maine. Some authorities have gone st
far as to assert that there are none, in
spite of frequent reports to the contrary
from different parts of the State.
United States Deputy Marshal Prescott
knows positively to the contrary He
has Travelled much in ell parts of the
country, and has seen wolves of various
kinds, from The small coyote of California
to the larger and handsomer grey wolf OF
the eastern forests.
During last week his duties took him
into the Madawaska region, i'll the ex-
treme northern part of the State. Sixty
miles north of HoultOn is Common Planta-
ton on the road to Van Buren,. 1t was
while going along this road that Mr.
Prescott SAW the wolf.
The small spruces grow close to the
wagon track on either side, leaving only
a slight clear space ahead. He first saw
the animal at some distance, and think
ing it a deer stopped his horse. AS ii
came nearer, he saw that it was large
and rather handsome grey wolf. The
horse also made the discovery soon, and
began to stamp impatlently. This at
tracted the VOLTS attention, and he
turned leisurely into the woods and dis
appeared. 1t was the largest wolf Mr.
Prescott had ever seen.
This is not the only wolf seen in that
region. Six We're seen to cross a road
there recently. The great plentlfulness
of ueer undoubtedly accounts Tor TIE
return of the wolves.
