microscopic Penmanship.

The subject of microscopic workman
ship really divides itself into two
classes and mechanical
construction. History has handed down
to US many examples of this form of
caligraphic mania, of which the chief
symptom is a desire to compress the
greatest number of words into the
smallest possible space.
Pliny the Younger declares that Cicero
once saw the "Iliad" written SO small
that it could be inclosed in a walnut
shell. This affirmation was regarded
as improbable until the seventeenth
century. when Huet, bishop of
Avranches, France, an excellent Greek
scholar, proved that it could be ac-
complished.
The gospel of ST. John and the Acts
Of the Apostles were written within
the circumference of farthing in the
sixth century by an Italian monk.

How "a Dying Man Feels.

Numerous experiments made in hos
pitfalls and upon heroic scientists who
have permitted tests to be made upon
themselves right down to the moment
of death, warrant these conclusions;
That a dying man may be burned with
red hot irons and yet not feel the least
pain; that consciousness may remain
in the dying almost to the moment Of
actual dissolution, but that most peo-
pie generally lose the power of thought
long before death; that in cases of
death where there seems to be extreme
suffering, with writhing and spasms,
such phenomena are generally due to
reflex muscular action; also that fear
weakens the muscular system and has
tens death, while the reverse may pro-
long life.
