IMPULSES WHEN FACING DEATH

What are the emotions of one sud-
denly and unexpectedly confronted
with impending death? Does he think
of his past, or speculate on his future? :?
Are humanitarian instincts upper
most, or does the primeval law Of self
preservation reign supreme? Inter-
esting speculation along this line is
furnished i'm recent editorial Of the
Louisville Courier-Journal, which
cites a case:
\ young man who had narrow es-
cape from death in a railroad wreck
gave an account of his experience that
furnishes food for the alienist and
the student of psychology. The crash
came suddenly. Instantly he beheld
the destruction of life all about him.
He saw the body of a friend with
whom he rad been talking squeezed
and broken. Blood was splashed in
all directions. Splinters were flying
about. Groans filled the air. Death
swift, violent and terrible, was strik-

The waters Of the spring of life flow
freely Just beyond the borderland of
consciousness, in what the world in
its blindness calls the unconscious
state but which truly is the all-con-
scious and everything state, whose
waters our minds absorb in so limited
way that we do not grasp the bound
less lie at the source of the spring
And this renewal of life we feel in
greater and greater measure as we
enter the zone of silence and abide In
ii some part of every day. There in
seclusion, away from business or fam
lily cares and distracting sounds, we
core into possession of ourselves. 1t
is in this "secret place of the Most
High" that all great religious and
philosophical systems have been born
In the silence. while searching the
profound depths of the human soul
men and women have found the Gre
ative elixir which vitalized their words
their music and their art images with
the elements of immortal life.
Noises disturb and distract the
spirit, breaking it up, as it were, into
a multitude of particles, which in the
silence again coalesce and restore thu
spirit to unity and strength. Discord-
ant mentalities, harsh words and too
much talk about trivial things have
the same effect as noise. The nerves
become exhausted and irritated by
constant excitement, and the spirit
Graves that seclusion, that freedom
from material thoughts and things
which will enable it to possess its life
i'm peace and divine serenity.
How the spirit of man in its long
ing for solitude and rest has reached
out for the Simple life" but has
graSped only a shadow! Not until
the mortal part is willing to cease
chasing vantes will the spirit find
peace. Men and women are dying,
their spirits are tearing themselves
free from their bodies-for lack of
silence. Even i'm their utter eXhaus.

friends does not allow them to rest

WHEAT EXPERIMENTATION.

At one of the experiment stations
wheat was tested in plots under
various modes of cultivation. and Il
was found that when seeds were care
fully selected, planted in rows and
cultivated with hand implements the
yield was at the rate Of so bushels
per acre, and a case is on record in
England where n farmer planted
wheat in rows one foot apart, the
grain six inches apart in rows culti-
waiting between the rows ana using
hoes between the plants. securing
100 bushels to the acre-which case.
however. is an exception. The Eng
lish field was covered with six inches
of manure, which was well worked
into the soil the season also being
favorable. In Belgium it is not un-
usual to grow 60 bushels of wheat
per acre. The land is made rich,
fertilizers are literally used and close
cultivation is given. While it is not
often that our farmers exceed 40
bushels per acre, yet the experiments
made demonstrate what is possible to
accomplish with fertile soil and bet
ter cultivation.-The Gentleman Far
mer.

ing blows and stood ready to fell him.
In a moment, in the twinkling of an
eye, the travellers peace of security
had been changed into hell of hor-
rors.
Now, the person who guessed ac-
cording to logic and took no account
of the tricks of the mind, would ven-
ture the opinion that the railroad
passenger, surrounded by such scenes
and confronted by such peris, had
one of two impulses: First, to save
himself; second, to save Others And
the theoriZer would have illustrated
oy the guess just how little such a
thing as logic figures in the average
human mind in moments like the one
described, tor the passenger alluded 20
had an impulse of a totally different
sort. His first thought and II flood
ed into his mind instantly, was to
save dress which was in his grip. To
preserve 1t from destruction and to
present it to little niece for whom
1t was intended-that was the over
whelming idea. 1t dominated and pos
sessed him, The frock that lay tucked
away in his grip was to him in this
moment of terror the greatest thing
in the world. He did not think of his
own life, or of the lives of others, for
that brief interval; what were they
| compared to that precious garment
Later on, second later on, might
come the instinct of self-preservation,
and concern for the safety of fellow
humans, but for that instant his min |
clutched at another matter altogether.

such L reputation is to be reconciled
with admitted acts of tax-dodging.
Perhaps complete reconciliation
cannot be effected, hut it will have to
be admitted, we think, that there are
extenuaung circumstances. 1t is of
course notorious that intangible per-
sonal property largely escapes taxation
in Chicago as everywhere else.
All around Mr.. Field wero
wealthy men, many engaged in the
same line of business, who were dodg-
ins personal property taxes, He
knew 1t, and others knew it, but to
what extent neither he nor others
might certainly know. The situation
was full of ineQuity and injustice, and
he felt that In declaring fer taxation
personal property much in excess of
that assessed against any other Chi
caSo citizen, he was doing all that a
fair regard for equity demanded
Where Mr.. Field erred as good
citizen, we think, was in failing to
call public attention to this intolerable
tax situation and employing his great
influence to bring about tax reform
which would show no special favor to
large wealth, but would provide equi-
table methods of distributing the pub
lie burden.
I've have got to give up the idea
of taxing personal property directly
Ultimately we shall come to land
values-to the unearned increment
as the chief or sole source of local
revenue"
The conclusion of the Republican
article is what particularly commends
it to us. When the suggestion con-
tanned therein is adopted no man will
be accused of escaping his just share
of the burden of taxation, because no
man can.

Wolnan's Trials.

The bitter trail in woman's life is to
be childlesS. Who can tell how hard the
struggle may have been ere she learnt TO
resign herself TO her lonely lot? The alb
sence of this link TO bind marital life
together the absence of this one pledge
to mutual affection is a common disap-
pointment. Many unfortunate couples
become estranged thereby. Even /. they
do not drift apart, one may read the whole
extent OF their disappointment in the eyes
OF such chlldlcss couple when they rest
on the children OF Others. To them the
largest familydoes not seem too numerous.
In many cases Of barrenness or child
lessness the obstacle TO child-bearing Is
easily removed by the cure OF weakness on
the part OF the woman. DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription has been the means Of
restoring health and fruitfuness to many
a barren woman, to the great Joy Of the
household. In other, but rare cases, the
obstruction TO the bearing Of children has
been found to be Of surgical character,
but easily removable by painless operative
treatment at the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute, Buffalo, n. Y, over which
DR.. Pierce OF the rFavorite Prescription
fame presides. In all cases where chill
dren are desired and are absent, an effort
should be made to find out the real cause,
since 1t Is generally so easily removed by
proper treatment.
In all the various weaknesses, displace-
ments, prolapsus, Inflammation and de-
bilitatng, catarrhal drains and In all
cases Of nervousness and debility, DIR.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the most
efficient remedy that can possibly be used.
1t has to its credit hundreds OF thousands
OF cures more In fact than any other
remedy put up for sale through druggists,
especially for woman's use. The ingredi-
ents Of which the "Favorite Prescription I"
is composed have received the most
positive endorsement from the leading
medical writers on Mdte,id Medicd Of all
the several schools OF practice. All the
ingredients are printed In plain English
on the wrapper enclosing the bottle, so
that any woman making use OF this
famous medicine may know exactly what
she is taking. Dr. Pierce takes his pa
tlents into his full confidence, which he
can afford to do as the formula after
which the HFavorite Prescription Is
made Will bear the most careful exam
ination.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the
best and safest laxative for women.

THE SIMPLE SILENCE.

Taken in the spirit in which it is
given there is potency in the advice
and information found in the article
below from the pen of Walter De Voc,
and found in a recent issue of New
Thought, to head off many threaten
ing approach of nervous prostration,
Applied with intelligence and persist
ence, the principles outlined will bring
reiuyenation to many a tired, nervous
system by. to quote a preacher friend
of the Fast Oregonian-"giving the
soul a chance" The prescription is as
follows:
Entering the silence means many
things to many minds. To most the
silence" IS a door to dreamland. Day
dreaming is very beneficial in a re-
Operative way because of the exist
ence Of electric ions in the atmosphere
during daylight, and especially when
the sun is unclouded. These ions are
~ avn 4AlNb NAlt EpAg Dg lllt I'D dlul tl
recuperative power of the subcon-
scious mind. This process is intensi-
fled if before entering the dream state
the mental forces have been directed
to draw upon the universal vitality for
bodily strength.
The subconscious mind accomplishes
something very mysterious and Won
derful during the time we are asleep
There is then a readjustment of the
equilibrium of all physical forces and
an absorption Of spiritual essences
that gives feeling of completeness
and good cheer. Even few minutes
loss of consciousness during the day
will enable the subconscious inteli-
gence TO revitalize and restore nerve
energy.
The story is told of a business man
who, although he was fast becoming
a nervous wreck, could not give him
self time TO relax and recuperate dur
ing the day. When at length he was
obliged TO. he gave himself up to un-
conscious rest after lunch holding a
dinner bell in his hand. When he be-
came unconscious the bell fell from
his hand and awaken him. but those
few moments of entire relaxation al
lowed the recuperative energies to do
their work to that degree that his
health was restored.
If it We're possible for men and wo-
men in business life to relax mind and
body for a half hour in the middle CT
the day they would regain a freshness
Of spirit and new interest in work
which would amply repay them. for
the time devoted to this simple form
Of silence.
Most Of the dullness Of life and the
monotony of work is a result Of de-
pleted nerve force When the nerves
are Trimcd with the energy gathered
ins the land Of Morpheus we feel as
vivacious as children and every exper-
ience is yividly interesting We must
keep alive that spirit OF youth which
Stevenson declared was the perennial
spring Of all the faculties If we would
energize our work with life and power

FIELDS "HONESTY."

The public is habituated to looking
at the SNUG, apparently benevolent
and certainly benign appearing face
which Marshall Field. the multi-mil-
lionaire merchant prince always kept
turned toward the public. Recent dis
closures through the medium of d
Chicago court cannot but modify the
myriad average mans impressions
about the rules Of conduct which
guided Marshall Field through the
business mazes of the last 4O-odd years
to the possession of a gigantic for
tune.
The San Francisco Star calls atten-
tion to an unwelcome fact or two and
some conclusions drawn by the SPRING
field Republican, n famous and able
defender of the present industrial sys-
TEN. The star article is as follows:
When Marshall Field, Chicago's
multi-millionaire, died few months
ago, the newspapers of the country
generally were loud in his praise for
always bearing his just share of the
burden of government, by paying his
personal property tax without attempt
at evasion. 1t now appears by a suit
brought against the executors of tho
estate of this "honest" man, that
during the last seven years of his life
he escaped taxation upon s1O5, ,OOO,-
900.
The Star was the one paper in the
country not to place Marshall Field,
at the time of his death, upon a pedes-
tai, but to tell the people how he con-
Quoted "sweat-shops," and, whilst pos
ing as a publicist and philanthropist
stole from women and children the
products of their labor. In this way,
and by "judicious' investments in real
estate, as we showed, he amassed his
millions.
For evading unjust taxation, Mar
shall Field may be forgiven. AS Judge
Mcguire said many years ago, "the
present system is a tax on conscience
and premium on fraud" Even the
staid old Springfield Republican,
whiie not excusing Marshall Fields Of
fense Hn the matter of taxation), thus
parriates it:
"Mr. Field enjoyed the reputation of
being man of exceptional integrity
as a citizen and of rare public spirit;
