SLEEP AND DEATH.
Neither Pain Nor Consciousness at the
Instant of Either.

The phenomenon called sleep may be
summed up ia the following PROPOSE
tons, says a writer in the Cosmopoli-
tan:
First-Sleep is temporary death of
the functions of the sensitive system,
due to exhaustion by fatigue.
Secondly-This death is temporary
because the vital system continues to
perform its functions during sleep and
restores the sensitive organs to their
normal condition.
For our purpose death may be con-
sidered under the three heads-natural
death, sudden death and death from
disease Natural death is death from
old age. 1t differs from natural sleep
only in degree
The gradual loss of sensibility by the
sensitive organs which precedes sleep
now takes place in the vital SYSTEM
and all the organs pass into permanent
sleep together. There can be no pain
preceding or at the moment of such a
death, any more than there is pain pre-.
ceding or at the moment Of passing
into temporary sleep.
Sudden death may be defined as
death due to a sudden injury from
without or within the body sufficient
to destroy at once all irritability Of
both the sensitive and vital systems
It requires no argument to prove that
person who is suddenly stricken dead
can suffer no pain. The element of
time must be present in order to suffer
physical pain, and in the sudden death
Of a person the element of time is alb
| sent.
We come now to consider the third
and by far the most frequent form of
death-namely, death from disease.
AS soon as disease is established dy-
ing begins, which is but a more rapid
than natural ceasing Of all sensibili-
| ties, accompanied with more or less
suffering, according to the cause which
produces it. This dying and suffering,
called disease must terminate either
in so called death, which is insensibil-
ity to it, or in recovery, which is re-
moval of the cause of it. But in any
event the suffering has been endured,
no matter whether the final termina-
ton is death or recovery.
No one is conscious of or can recall
the moment he passes from waking in
to natural or temporary sleep. Nor
shall we. by a supreme agony or'en
any other way, be conscious of passing
into permanent sleep.
Being born and dying are the two
most important physiological events in
the life history of our bodies, and we
shall know no more about the latter
event at the time it occurs than we did
about the former.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Few men have courage enough to Be
timid and admit it.
You can't correct mistake by tell
ing how hard you tried.
Opportunity rarely comes to the man
who spends all his time waiting for it.
Nearly every one imagines he is get
ting more than his share of hard
knocks.
Content is like your eyes, nose or
any other feature-tO have it you must
be born with it.
Until they come most any man will
tell you how he would get the upper
hand Of burglars.
After a woman succeeds in getting
her husband afraid of her she never
can hope to get him in love with her.
A man may think he knows more
than a doctor, but he is apt to listen
when a lawyer tells him he needs a
change Of Standardization Globe.

WETWOOD

Standard and registered Bay stallion
rs hands high weighs 1850 lbs. Sired
by Cedarwood 2:2415; 1st dam by
Mambrino SwIgert 2:3O; 2nd dam by
Dick West, Westwood ranks among
the best sires that has even been in
Grant county. His colts have plenty
of size and are good individuals, they
are very tOppy and good actors and of
a good disposition; they have also
proven themselves TO be good sellers
and have size enough to make good
farm or carriage horses. People that
patroniZed him when he was here be-
fore have been very anxious TO have
him returned TO this locality and for
that reason we purchased this horse at
q great expense to give the puolic a
chance once more to use the horse,
which they had the misfortune to
lose the use of for a few years. But
now he is back here to stay. We
thing we deserve a liberal patronage
to this grand son of Cedarwood. Call
and see him before going elsewhere.
He will make the season as follows:
North Andover. Mondays.

At the head of the line Margaret Nor

At the foot of the line poor little

GIANT LOCOMOTIVES.
New Engines For Erie Railroad Weigh
Over 200 Tons.

Three locomotives, just being COM
pleted for the Erie railroad at the
Schenectady works of the American
Locomotive company, are the heaviest
and most powerful engines Of their
kind ever constructed.
Each locomotive alone, without its
tender weighs 205 tons, and will haul,
on the level, 800 loaded freight cars, or
a train about two miles long.
These enormous machines are of the
type known as Mallet compound, and
have sixteen drive wheels, arranged III
two Independent groups of eight each.
The boilers used are more than forty
three feet long and the inside diam
eter of the largest frebox foundation
ring is eight feet. 1t is provided with
404 tubes two and one-quarter inches in
diameter and twenty-one feet long. The
water in the boiler will weigh 442, ZOO
pounds and the tubes 23,700 pounds.
Ono of the frebOXes would make a
good sized living room, being ten and
one-half feet long and nine and one
half feet wide inside and having a
SEdIo area VI 1OO SqudI0 Ie0J.
First Of the locomotives of this type
in this country was that built by the
same company for the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad in 1904 This engine as
tonished the engineering world at that
time by its enormous size, but these
engines for the Erie railroad are as
much heavier than their predecessor
as that engine was heavier than the
next largest locomotive Of its time.
The decided success Of the Baltimore
and Ohio engine, however. has proved
the advantages offered by this type for
exceptional weight and hauling power
and justifies this still greater develop
ment of the type.

added, with a look that changed the
world for little Mary

counted the teacher, and Mary flew
around the room on feet that seemed
winged.
''How well you did that" said the
Awkward Young Man as she danced
up to him, her cheeks red, eyes like
stars, her little figure swaying to the
rhythm.
81 don't know how it happened" she
laughed. ooh, let's do it together"
Margaret Morton watched them from
the other end of the room, and when,
in the intricate windings of the folk
dance, she passed the Awkward Young
Man she whispered, Don't you want
to go with me to the lighthouse in the
morning?"
I'm sorry" he fibbed, ''but l have
other plans"
And when he passed Mary he asked:
'Will you let me take you to the beach
after the class tomorrow? We can
carry our notebooks and study"
''Oh, it will be lovely" she said, and
all the happiness in her heart seemed
expressed in her tripping feet, so that
the teacher patted her on the shoulder
as she came up at the end of the les
son. "YOu are getting on, Miss Cobb"
she said.
The day at the beach, with the
waves tapping the sands lazily and
the gulls dipping and rising against
sky of sapphire. gave an opportunity
for an Interchange of aspirations and
ideals Mary told Of her plans to teach
in the normal, and the Awkward
Young Man confessed to an ambition
to instruct physically the youths Of
the Y. NJ c. A. of his town.
As the afternoon waned they talked,
as young people will, of other things.
The Awkward Young Man contended
that it is not good for man to live
alone and Mary admitted TREMENDOUSLY
that ambition does not fill a woman's
life.
But it was not until the next day
| that the final word was said.

Awkward Young Man wound in and

as they stopped at the other end of
the room.
Her hands were still in his. He drew
her slightly toward him. "If we might
be together always" he whispered.

as she stood alone at the other side Of
the room.
