Death Is Painless

The fear of death, which has been
SO enormously exploited in dramatic
literature, sacred and otherwise, is
said to be almost without existence in
sickness Most pstients have lost it
completely by the time they became
seriously ILL.,
Death and sleep are both painless,
according to DR.. Woods Hutchinson
and cause neither fear nor anxiety by
their approach. 1t is one of the most
merciful things in nature that the
overwhelming msjority Of the pOisons
which destroy life, whether they are
those of infectious diseases or those
which are elaborated from the bOdy's
own waste products, act as narcotics
aud abolish consciousness long before
the end comes.
While death is not 10 any sense an
alsgous to sleep, it resembles IT to the
extent that it is in the vast majority
of instances not only not painful bat
welcome. Psin-raoked and lever
scorched patients long for death as
the weariest toiler longs for sleep.
While many Of the processes which
lead to death are painful. death itself
is painless, natural. like the fading Of
a flower or the falling Of leaf. Our
dear ones drift out on the ebbing tide
Of life without fear. without pain,
without regret, cave for those they
leave behind. When death comes
close enough 80 that We can see the
eyes behind the mask ais face becomes
as welcome as that Of his twin broth
sr, sleep.

Snakes Eggs Hatchlng.

Because Of the popular aversion to
the serpent family there is a surpris-
ing amolnt of ignorance about even
the simplest of snake habits. 1t is
doubtful If many correct answers
could be given to the question whsth-
er snakes lay eggs or bear their young
alive. As a matter Of fact, some
species are vivipsrous and other owl
parous. Most Of the poisonous snakes,
as well as many of our harmless va
rieties, belong to the former class.
The European ring snake is closely
allied to our common water snake and
goes by the scientific name Tropido-
notus natri1 Cdriously enough. all
other members of the genus Tropido
notus are viviparous. and this species
alone lay eggs Furthermore, accord
ing to Gadow's "Amphibis and Rep
tiles" the new laid eggs usually show
not the slightest visible sign of an en-
brYo, unless ovipOsition is delayed,
when the smbryos are more or less
developed.
The eggs are laid in July or Au.
gust in a soft bed of loam or decsyed
vegetation, or in a heap Of manure.
The older snakes sometimes lay as
many as dozen eggs or more and
they usually stick together SO that
the entire cluster can be picked up
at once. Sometimes, however, if the
process of laying is slow. they will be
separated. The eggs are about an
inch long and of whitish yellow coll
or. The shell is thin and like parch.
ment.
The young hatch in late summer or
autumn. Before Matching they devel.
op a sharp calcareous growth on the
tip of the snout known as the egg
tooth, with which the shell is slit open.
Unlike Matching chicks which are sud.
denly dispoSseSsed by the breaking of
their brittle shells, the young snakes
may make many incisions in the psIch-
ment envelopes and take many peeps
at the outside world before Venturing
forth into the new environment
Shortly after Matching, the egg tooth
is lost.
At first the young live on insects
and worms, but within few weeks
they are strong enough to attack and
dsvOur young frogs Strangely enough,
although the adults are strong swim
mers, and spend much time in ponds
and streams hunting the 6sh and frogs
on which they subsist, the young are
unable to swim. and they will soon
drown if they fall into the water.
The European ring snake, as well as
tbs American water snake, makes an
excellent pet; it is perfectly harmless,
becomes very tame and learns to know
the difference between friends and
strangers. Gadow tells of pet ring
snake that would eat from his hand,
crawl up his coat sleeve and coil itself
contentedly on his arm.-Scic1tyfc

HOPE.

Not even Hope can always soar and sing;
Sometimes she needs must rest a willing ving'
And wait in midst OF her glad caroiing
Faint not, dear heart though she rest overnight
Her wings are swifter than the wings OF light
They're gaining strength for more enduring Hight
Fret not because her voice Is sometimes still;
IL may be catching some new lit or thrill;
She'll sing again, all Of her own sweet will
Perhaps when worn with pain. in darkened rsom.
Denied the light, the beauty and the bloom.
You'll sec lllIIe nit within the gloom;
Then hear a sur, as Of unfolding wings;
And low. sweet notes. as one who tries the strngs
In tender prelude just before he sings.
And wakened Hope. grown vigorous and strong
Will then surprise the silence with song
Keep brave heart. Hope never slumbers long
