Is 1t a Pleasure to Die?

The popular idea that the act of dying
is painful process often causes fear
of death. But death from even the
most painful mortal diseases is usually
preceded by a period Of cessation from
suffering and partial or complete insen.
sibility. resembling falling asleep OF
the pleasant gradual Inconsistencies
caused by an anesthetic. according to .
writer in the London Spectator.
The common phrase death agony
is not warranted by what occurs in nat
ural death, which is a complete relief
from all pain. When death is owing to
heart failure or syncOpe it is sudden
and painless-perhaps pleasant. Death
by hanging. there is reason to believe,
is attended by voluptuous spasm.
Death by decapitatiOn or electricity is
only a momentary shock, hardly felt.
Death by poisoning varies in painful
ness according to the poison employed.
Opium and other narcotics probably
give a painless. perhaps pleasant,
dreamful death. HemlOck, as we know
from the account of the death of So
crates, causes gradual insensibility
from below upward. On the other
hand, arsenic. strychnine, carbOlic and
mineral acids corrosive sublimate, tar
tar emetic, and other metallic pOisOns
infiict slow and torturing death. Prus-
sic acid and cyanide of potassium cause
quick and painful death.

The Cheapest Man.

THE cheapest man l ever knew:
said the pOstman, His name was John
on bargain day. He used TO get letters
from his brother-in-law, and would
open the envelope by holding it over a
yea kettle. Then he would take out the
letter aud read it, write all answer. put
seal it up again. This done. he would
take it TO the postOfiice, explain that tn,
letter couldn't possibly belong TO him
and he didn't want to open another
mans mail. OF course, as his brother
in-law's tive-day return card was on
the envelope. the postOtfice officials
would send it back.

Eirea in Ships' Holds.

which is forced into the chamber in
which the cOnfiagration has occurred.
and which. by replacing the air. so Vi
tiates the atmosphere that combustion
cannot continue. The machine consists
of generating chamber, into which air
is forced by fan. and in which n store
Of sulphur is placed. This can be SIM
ply ignited by throwing upon il piece
of burning waste The gas thus gem
Grated is forced into the chamber, and
after a while extinguishes the flames.
Attached TO the apparatus is also a
condenser, by means of which, the fire
once eXtinguished, the gas is passed
through and through the chamber as 1t
coOls, until the materials which have
been burning are reduced to such Il
temperature that they do not burst in
to flame when the air is ut length intro
duced. This is brought about by a

A Family Crisis Axerted.

night. and whose wife does not sit up
Tor him. received a present of some
very fine writing-paper, says the Times.
and it occurred to him that. inasmuch
as he would not have the opportunity
OF showing it to his wife until the next
morning. it would be n good joke to
write her a note. 1t was great
scheme, and he took much pleasure in
it,
But the next morning his wife receiv-
ed the letter with conflicting emotions.
She turned it over and over What
could her husband-at that moment up
stairs, sleeping the sleep of the just

word of mouth? 1t certainly was very
mysterious.
Could il be?-yes, she remembered

must be that that little matter had ran
kled in his mind all this time. Well.
she would open the letter and see. And
this is what she read:

Out of Sight.

Parted lovers are wont to declare that
absence makes the heart grow fOnder.
1t is probably owing to this mellow con-
dition Of the vital organs that Angelina
so frequently transferred to Edwin
soon after AlgernOn's departure. You
see a man two or three hundred miles
away isn't a bit of good to take a girl
about, while the man on the spOt-well.
he's usually an amiable, well-dressed
creature. that she becomes fond Of be-
fore she knows it. II the young men
of the town followed the advice of one
who has given the subject much con-
sideratiOn, they would become engaged
- the young women whose houses adj
join theirs. Then they would be in a
posi..on to see their fiancees three times
day. There they could keep their
virtues and fascinatiOns forever before
those maidens. and so could keep them
selves from being supplanted by the
youths who live farther down the block.
1t isn't so much that out Of sight is out
Of mind, though, remember; il is only
that to be constantly in sight is to be
constantly in mind, and that TO he con-
stantly in mind is winning position.

The Philippine Government.

nc Il
The five American members OF the
commission. with three natives. con-
stitute the legislative department of the
government They are all appointed
from Washington. That is neither self
government nor step in that direction.
But the Philippine legislature Is not
elected by the people. nor are the peo-
pie consulted in its appointment, nor
are natives given 4 majority in its
membership, nor can the people dis
place it and elect others. The plan is
just as far away from elf-government
as was the Spanish rule. 1t is, in form,
exactly the same despOtism.
The financial report from the islands
shows that we have taken out OF them
the same taxes as Spain did, SlO.OOO.OOO
a year. So i'm denial Of government
and burden of taxation they are just
where they were when DIR. Rial and
AcuinaldO made their first stand for
freedom in 1896 They cannot effect
ually reach the source of the laws that
govern them any more now than they
could when Weyler was the captain
general.
1t is necessary to say these things III
order that our own people may not de-
ceive themselves as to the problem in
the islands. 1t is not solved by the
present scheme of government. nor by
the cessation of armed resistance in
many of the provinces. Let the truth
be told and appreciated. Our govern
ment in the Philippines is purely auto
cratic, with no popular feature in it,.
A similar community of Americans
would destroy it in an hour rather than
submit TO it minute.-San Francisco
