DYING DO NOT SHED TEARS.
Persons on Their Death Beds, Says .
Physician, Seem Incapable
of Weeping.

81 have stood by the bedside of hun
dreds of dying people" said an old
physician at Topeka recently, reports
the Kansas City Journal, "and l have
yet to see dying person shed tear.
No matter what the grief of the by
ISLANDERS may be, the stricken person
will show no signs of overpowering
emotion. I have seen a circle of ag-
onized children around a dying moth
era mother who in health would
have been touched to the quick by
signs of grief in a child'-yet she re-
posed as calm and Unconditional as
though she had been made of stone.
There is some strange and inexplic-
able psychological change which ac-
companies the act of dissolution. 1t is
well known to all physicians that pain
disappears as the end approaches.
And nature seems to have arranged it
so that mental peace shall also attend
our last lingering moments"

A small Tax.

The minimum tax on the smallest
piece Of property owned by q Denver
citizen was paid last week. M. Kraub
appeared at the court house and an.
nounced that he had come to see
about his taxes. With that he depos-
tied before the astonished clerk 2
cents. Kraub owns piece of land near
Fourteenth and Market streets, which
is Just five feet square. This property
is included in an East Denver Inn
provement district and is accordingly
assessed. With great accuracy the
property owned by Kraub was defined
by the city engineer. 1t was carefully
measured and found to be exactly five
feet square. not big enough to build
on, not big enough even to be buried
in, but still quite big enough to be-
taxed. In the advertisement of taxes,
the line which announced that Kraub
must pay 2-cent tax cost % cents.
This leaves the property owner the
winner by 20 cents. -

Tor.oises climb for Grapes.

Tortoises are known to be able to
live for long time without food. 1t
was also believed hitherto that they
were rigid teetotalers. This belier.
however, has been rudely dispelled by
the discovery that they are very fond
of grapes. The proprietor OF a vine.
yard in Algiers had noticed for some
time serious depredations going on In
his plantation. The watchman he had
engaged reported that mysterious
noises were heard in the place at
night, and consequently refused to
stop any longer on the spot. But the
master determined to inquire into the
matter for himself. and. much to his
surprise, he found large number Of
tortoises climbing up the vines with
an alertness Of which tortoises ere or
dinarily thought to be incapable. and
making the most Of the good things
which the gods had provided for them.

Rounding Cape Horn

but-and this is fact less frequently
dwelt upon-it will avoid some of the
toughest navigating known to seamen.
To sail ship round Cape Horn in the

manship, and sometimes of human en-
durance.

Gently told the Boston Seaman's
Friend society that in his sixteen

with adverse gales before the 200
miles between the Atlantic and the Pa
cifc waters were traversed.

Coming lack to the Creole names
to which l have referred, l cannot
find any good reason. or reason of any
sort, for that matter, for their exist
ence. AS rule, they are made up of
Creole sounds, with rather delicate
regard for euphony. Many Of them
are fascinatingly soft and musical.
Here, for instance, are the names of
negro women l have known on some
of the plantations in southern Louis
lana: Sounee, Tounon, Cher. Cite,
Bobite, Bella, Sogo, and Grigo, while l
have known men who toiled in the
field, black, ugly, awkward fellows,
who answered to the names Sacata.
Pito, Faloute, Chiron, Papoute, Cheree
and SO on. In some of these names
there is just suggestion of Spanish,
and some of them, no doubt, owe their
origin to Spanish sounds combined
with certain other sounds peculiar to
the French tongue. The meaning of
these names l do not know, but they
are pretty and euphonious. if properly
pronounced. l suppose this is why
they have been selected, for the negro
you know, has an awfully keen ear for
the harmonies."-New Orleans Times

Nearly a century before the Dutch
sailors, LIE Marie and Van Schouten,
in 1916 sailed round the cape. Magel
Ian in 1920 had pushed his way
through the straits bearing his name
and become the first to find a west
ern way from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific.
But the straits of Magellan, tortu-
GUS. windy and narrowing in places to
the width of mile or so, involve such
great difficulties that in general only
steam vessels attempt them. The
United States battleship Oregon was
brought through those waters in 1898.
on her memorable voyage from the
western coast; but powerful steam
ships are often beaten back and de-
layed by the terrific gales encountered
in the narrow passage.
And in all, the life or the deepwater
sailor will be much easier when he has
no longer to reckon with the straits
and the cape. Neither of them offers
such a route as a man would choose
for holiday journey.
