age, Is perhaps not an evil at all.
Such death Is painless, and usually
comes peacefully, during sleep.
Death must, of course, come soon
or later; but the suffering and power.
ty til at are so often caused by un-
natural and by preventable diseases,
and the despair which so often fol-
lows and which so often leads to vice
and crime, are as needless evils and
are very iar-reaching In their effects.
The evils that are due to disease
can be escaped just in proportion as
the conditions and habits that bring
on disease become more widely un-
derstood.
The social aspects OF disease Chat
Is to say aspects of disease upon 9TH
ers than the sick themselves) should
receive wider cor sideration. If peo-
pie could be sick tor awhile and die,
without suffering themselves, and
without causing suffering or sorrow
or loss to fathers or mothers or chill
dren or friends. and without loss to
the community, then sickness and
death would be far less serious mat
tiers. But the person who is sick and
dies Is not the onlA victim.
For instance. it is plain that If a
wage.esrner is kept from his work by
sickness OF death the ability of his
family to support themselves Is les
sened or destroyed. If increasing
povery follows. more sickness Is apt
to follows. too; for the chance of sick
ness increases as the body becomes less
we'll nourished and lees well nourish-
ed and less we'll protected from cold
and exposure.
There Is sort of "endless..c chain"
system at work here. The sickness
of wage Garner father, for instance,
brings poverty to his family; poverty
lessons the ability of the family to
secure the food ard coal and clothing
that are necessary to health; for where
the body Is weak and the health poor
disease more easily takes hold.
The whole family, perhaps, be-
comes sickly In consequence OF the
bad conditions which have caused the
father to become sick and.Iunable to
support them. In fact, the whole
community suffers when the people
becomes sick and die; for the peo-
pie are the community, and dis
ease anywhere effects the health and
happiness and welfare OF the whole.
Consider also the effect Of disease
upon the peoples habit aud morals.
We know that poverty too often leads
to despair and desperation, and that
despair and desperation too often lead
to vice and crime.
Many men and women stands the
trials OF poverty with splendid cour-
age and In the noblest way, but very
many have not the moral strength
for this, aud are "driven to drink"
and to every kind OF vice and crime
and wrongdong.

Gordon Cumming was perhaps the
first to discover the effect of the human
voice upon wild animals. On one occa-
sion he had lioness in full retreat be-
fore him. He called loudly to her,
whereupon she squatted like a huge
dog and permitted him to approach. In
a similar venture he checked the charge
Of lioness by yelling at her and con-
tinued to do so, while she remained
perplexedly smiling the ground and al
lowed him to escape.

THE DOWN ROW.

There are some people who seem to
get the down row" all the way
through life-the rows whose original
Is the line of corn stalks over which
the farmer drivers as he goes aGeld
at husking time. On either side Of
this he and his helper strip the yell
low ears from the rows within easy
throwing distance of the wagon,
which alternately hslts and goes
ahead little way. In its wake 1t
leaves trampled row of learning,
broken stalks to which somebody
must stoop and laboriously gather a
difficult salvage,
Men who were brought up on farm
remember that usually boy was set
at this task-nobody considering that
a boy al any feelings worth consid
ering-and they may even personally
recall the anguish OF soul and body
engendered by frozen clods-en'augling
stalks, mud or snow-encrusted husks
and the Iasping stubborn ears that
would not snap. They remember,
too, that insult va, added to injury
by frequent taunt over not being able
to keep up" Some of them have
gone on having the down row fail
to their lot In latter ana winter fields
and have borne it's hardships with
varying degreese OF fortitude. Some
of them have been able to shirk the
subsequent down row entirely, and
have CLEANED comfortable aud without
STOPPING amid the upright harvest.
Every business, apparently, has its
down row which somebody must
look after aud keep up. It's difficult
ties vary In kind and degree In the
different callings, involving here the
constant attention TO tedious and pet
ty details of trade aud there the recon.
Cling of factions labor with freakish
capital by way OF thousand little
daily annoyances. Every man grimly
believes his own business to have the
most down rows to harass and trip
and waste and fret, and which he
fancies his neighbor In some cnviable
way avoids.
In the home nobody wants the
down row, but somebody must take
it, and usually II Is the mother, Tor
mothers are made that way. In
with her other manifold duties she
incorporates IFS trials aud strength
and patince. sometimes a sense OF
duty, sometimes because II 10 lees
trouble to put up with theit exactions
than to avoid them, and sometimes
because che would gladly aud willing
ly sacrifice herself to the comfort OF
her family. A mistaken idea. this
last, at times, but who shall convince
a mother OF that?
A mothers down row begins early
in the day, for on her devolves the task
OF waking first and pressing the button
that starts the household machinery
and declares the show open for the
day; and she it is. usually, who at
night covers the fires. locks up the
house and puts out the cat. All In
between she does lot OF things other
people shirk, from gathering up the
clothes for the laundry and cleaning
the children's rubbers to scald-
ing out the refrigerator and washing
gressy kettles and frying pans.
