TIE meaning of last weeks election is
so clear that the wayfaring man though
s fool will make no mistake in interpret
ing It. All over the North and West, and
probably In considerable portion OF the
south, the drift is in favor of the Re-
publicans. The change in the conditions
came in 1893, when the people, to the
extent of their opportunity, reversed the
Democratic verdict of 1899. Ever since
then the Republican tide has been stead
lily rising. When, in the Congressional
elections Eve months ago, the people
eurned cut a House with ninety Demo.
cratic plurality and put in one with a
Republican plurality Of 14O, there was a
general impression that the Republican
nigh water mark has been reached. This
notion, though, WAS erroneous. All over
the country the Republican wave is still
at its food II Is safe to predict that a
grander triumph than any achieved by
any party since the Republican tidal wave
of 1872 will be gained by the Republicans
In 1896.

"THAT Dta1HLy FEELING, y

"Deathly Sensations"
What are the Actual Sensa-
tiOnS of Death ?
Are There Really Any Feelings Of Pain
When Death Comes

Everybody has heard or used the ex.
preston, "that deathly sensation"
BY IL is meant the awful sinking sensa-
tion-the feeling of terrible dropping
away from us, as It were, Of vitality, as
the life principle wanes and ebbs toward
death.
Death itself is doubtless painless, but
the awful sinking sensation which pre-
cedes death has been described as worse
than pain.
Nervous people frequently have this
dreadful feeling, and many who have
been through the experience, will recog.

1T used to be that men of prominence
In legislation and law, when they diff
fered in opinion in public, would treat
each other with courtesy, however much
their angry passions were aroused. If
there was room for further dispute it was
generally settled in private. But things
have changed since then. That old-time
courtesy has largely disappeared. Sena-
tors and Congressman, State Legislators
and Councilmen, have laid it aside, and
in their wordy encounters not un

THE public school question in Canada
has been threatening to make trouble for
a long time, and it might as we'll be ad-
iusted now as later. The religious phase
of the question obtruded itself when the
Dominion Government reimbursed the
Catholic Church for certain property and
made the Pope a party to the legislation
IL having been conceded by the majority
in Parliament that the Pope's consent to
the measure was necessary before it could
be passed into a law. The opposition
held that it was not becoming in the
Government to go to Rome for permission

Canada, and the relations between the
two elements have been much strained
since that time. The order Of the Do.
minion Government restoring separate
schools to the Catholics in Manitoba has
greatly intensified the partisan and fac
tional feeling, and only by wise states
gnanship can serious complications b'
averted,

long she lasted after the pain ceased.
Now, why did not the child make an
cutlery OF pain after the flames were

1t Is this: The extensive burning de-
strOyed great deal of surface or
skin integument. From this there
followed a profound shock to vitality
which overpowered the sens0rium.

Therefore, It Is my conviction that
when the great skin surface Of nerve
expansion had been destroyed, the re-

sense of feeling. That IL she had con-
