THE BLESSING OF DEATH.
A Cheerful View of the End of Mundane
Existence.


Existence
The truth is, that death, far from
being a misfortune to the race, i per-
haps even to the individual the great
est of all earthly blessings, though it is
often enough blessing very much dis
guised. For without death for finite
beings, there could be no growth. and
still more, no means of distinguishing
the human characteristics which need
no growth, but, on the contrary, the
opposite of growth. The most wide
minded of the Apostles declare /, and
declared in no vague and metaph orical
mood, that he died daily II protest
by your rejoicing, which have in
Christ Jesus our Lord, / die daily"
And another expression of his, most
startling. and yet most deliberate, was
to the same effect: LAS dying. and be-
hold we live. as having nothing and
yet possessing all things" What did
death mean to ST. Paul? 1t meant sur
rendering the hold on all that his great
and passionate nature eagerly grasped
at, and vet gladly and Loyalty surren-
derirg it, when he felt that that in him
which was nearest to God required it
at his hands
The true kind of death, which is as
essential to life as-to use our Lords
own language-the death of the corn
or wheat is to its bringing forth much
fruit, is the giving up willingly what
seems to be of the very heart that is in
you, what it makes your head swim 10
contemplate giving up. at the whisper
which claims it from you in the name
of Him who gave it. AS the seed APP
pears to rot before it even begins to
grow, anA to draw from earth and air
the constituents of its larger life, SO
the mind appears to be closing its hold
on all that is most precious at the very
moment at which it is beginning to
learn most effectually how truly inval-
liable il is. Death is, indeed, by the tes-
timony of all who have valued life as
they ought, one of the most unique Of
its experiences. You loosen your grasp
on what is far more than yourself, and
only when you do so does il really be-
come part of yourself. The senses
reel. the heart grows giddy, at losing
that which, till you have lost it-or at
least have gone through all the panic
of losing it-you never truly gained
What we usually call death is only
the inal and full cons mmation of this
process of loosening the eager grasp of
the wilful heart on possessions In the
pride of which it has seemed to become
its true self, though in reality it never
becomes its true self, and never really
possesses what it thinks it possesses,
till it has achieved the triumph of re-
signing them and commanding even
its own spirit into the hands of Him
who gave it. If we could indeed dis
cover what is understandable, the true
''microbe of DEATH" then, instead Of
invoking the power of the expert 20
extinguish it. we should regard il as
the most inestimable of Gods gifts.
But then it would be priceless not be-
cause it is really the brink of the abyss
into which it seems to plunge us, but
that gate of life of which the SYM
bolism of the martyrs in the art of the
Catacombs so eloquently speaks.-Lon-
don Spectator.

DANGEROUS TOYS.
Children's PIaythings Means
Spreading Disease.

ChiIdren's PIaythngs Means of
Spreading Disease.
The London Lancet sounds a note of
warming that should be echoed through
every civilized land on the face of
Christendom. 1t relates an instance of
a consumptive who had a stand on the
street for selling little toys with
whistles in imitation of birds. These
toys were sold for a penny. After
PLAYING until the attention of some
youngster was attracted, the toy he
had been using was bought by the
child. who put into his own mouth the
wet end of the whistle covered with the
saliva of the vendor.
This is but sample of the ways in
which diseases are spread. Who can
say but that all of these toys are
brought by the seller from homes
where diseases of all sorts run riot!
The petted darling of some household
where health and hygiene are observed
may take into his mouth one of these
pipes that some scarlet-fever or diph-
theritic child has played with the night
before.
Not long since, on metropolitan
thoroughfare, a man selling these
bird-whistles allowed half a dozen
children to take a little toot at them.
No one seemed to realize that any one
of these little ones might be coming
down with some contagious disease, or
that the blast of tiny trumpet might
be the call of the minister of death.
1t is quite time that some peremp-
tory measures were taken to restrict
peddling by persons who are simply
hotbeds of contagious germs, and
whose very touch is communicating.
1t is said that life is a choice of evils,
but at least parents can refuse to Sc
lect for their little ones toys that in
the nature of things are laden with
the very evils that they so steadily
seek to avoid. N. Y. Ledger.

Everyone knows that many queer
names are to be found among our In
dians. but it may surprise some read
ers to learn that similar names cling
to Indian children, even after they
enter the government schools. The
following list is furnished by a teacher
in one of the government schools in
Oklahoma territory. They are taken
from the school register. and, while
they are not such as TO be pleasing TO
civilized people, the Indian youth are
as proud of them as il they were Smith
or Brown.
Ii should be said also that the boys
and girls are bright, intelligent chill
dren, doing good school work, and are
as well behaved as their white neigh
bors. Here are the names:

Cnnfedernte pnstare stamns.

Persons who have kept any of the old
letters they received in the south dur
ing the war might do well to look them
over. The confederate government au-
thorized the issue and use of local post
age stamps, and nearly every city in
the south at one time had its own
stamp. Many thousands of these were
used, but so rare are they now that
they bring very high prices. There is
among collectors keen demand for
them, and an idea of what they will
bring may be gathered from the report
of a sale which occurred recently at
the rooms of the Philatelic society,
New York. Local confederate stamps
sold as follows: Athens, Ga, $40; four
varieties of the Baton Rouge CLa.) s.
cent, s41, ST. and $50 respectively; Ma
con, Ga, two varieties, for s63.5O and
s171; Lenoir, y. c., $50, and Mobile q
cent, black, s41.5O. As time goes on
these curiosities will probably in-
crease in value. They are already be-
yond the reach of everybody but
wealthy collectors.
