Is 1t a Pleasure to Dkee

The popular idea that the act of dy-
ing is a painful process often causes a
fear of death. But death from even
the most painful mortal diseases is
usually preceded by a period of ces-
sation from suffering and partial or
complete insensibiliEy, resembling
falling asleep or the pleasant, gradual
Inconsistencies caused by an macs
thetic, according to a writer in the
London Spectator.
The common phrase ''death agony"
is not warranted by what occurs in
natural 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 a
voluptuous spasm. Death by decap-
itation or electricity is only a momen-
tary shock, hardly felt. Death by
poisoning varies in ~painfulness ac-
cordipg to the poison employed.

Senior Baretto, chief translator for the
provost marshal general of Manila,
and a native Philippine, is in Wash
ington and expresses the belief that
for some time to come a stronger
hand than that exercised by the civil
commission will be needed. He says
that the Philippines have SO long
been used to Spanish methods that
they are incapable of understanding
kindness and that the strict discipline
and military display of the army is
essential to their control.
Representative Hopkins of Illinois,
who is in Washington, has made public
his intention OF introducing, during
the first week of the coming congress,
a bill providing for the permanent
establishment of the census bureau.
His bill will further instruct the civil
service commission to place on the
classified list the employees, about
two thousand, that are now on the
rolls of the census bureau. In a
measure the proposed bill is a compli-
ment to the efficiency and business
methods of the present director, VIII
liam R. Merriam, who would retain
his post at a salary of 81 800 per year.
Mr.. Hopkins, who is chairman Of the
committee on ways and means, also
stated that he was opposed to all leg
islation looking to a decrease Of the
revenue, that with the isthmian canal
to build, a river and harbor bill to
pass and possibly some ship subsidies
to take care of he considered any re-
duction of revenue "a very foolish
business"
