PROGRESS OF DEATH.
Sensations of One Cvertaken by the
"cIeep of Snow"

Pastor Bertrand was climbing a
mountain with party of students.
Feeling tired he lay down to rest
while the others proceeded and was
overtaken by the "sleep of SNOW" He
felt himself as if struck by apopleXy.
His head was perfectly clear, but his
body was powerless. He tells his story
thus:
"A kind of prayer was sent up. and
then l resolved to study quietly the
progress of death. The sensation was
not painful, but at last my head be-
came unbearably cold. and it seemed
TO me that cOncave pinchers squeezed
my heart so as to extract my life. l
never felt such pain, but it lasted only
for a minute, and my life went out.
Well thought 1, I am what they call
a dead man. and here | am, a captive
balloon attached to the earth by a kind
Of elastic spring and going up and al
ways up! When my companions re-
turn they will say, The professors
dead" They do not know l never was
so alive as l am! The proof is l see
them nOw--the guide is stealing a leg
of my chicken. Go on, old fellow! Eat
the whole if you choose for hope my
corpse will never eat again" Hello!
There is my wife going to Lucerne.
''Well, wife. gOodby"' l confess | did
not call dear the one that has always
been very dear to me- l felt neither
regret nor joy at leaving her My only
regret was that l could not cut the
string. Suddenly a shock stopped my
ascension. l felt that somebody was
! pulling the balloon down. My grief
was measureless. When | reached my
body l had last hope. The balloon
seemed much too big for the mouth
Suddenly uttered the awful roar of a
wild beast. The corpse swallowed the
balloon-and Bertrand was Bertrand
again."
In other words. the eXertiOns of his
friends were successful in resuscitat
ing him.-Leon Landsberg in Boston

STORY OF THE STOGIE.
Little Pittsburg Children Help Make
the Smokes.

Scott Nearing in the Independent
The sun glared down fiercely from the
July sky It was a close day. On the
doorsill of a Pittsburg tenement house
boy sat- and passed some light brown
leaf-like things rapidly through his
hands-he was stripping tobacco. The
warmth of the day and the closeness OF
the atmosphere made the odor of the
leaves nauseating
What, Charlie, stripping again?"
Yes. sir; me father got. some more
leaves yesterday and we all got busy
isn't this your birthday, Charlie?"
Yes, sir; I'm ten today"
Have the children all been stripping g?
You have the ground Uttered up with
stems"
Sure they have-Sam, too. Sans only
four, you know, but he strips fine. Yes
terday he stripped ten handles. and there
is four handles to the pound. That makes
more'n two pounds he stripped in a
day That's fine fer a kid of four. Sam
is great at strippin'; he likes it, too. Me
father says he'll make the best stripper
of the bunch
Does Sarah strip?'
Sure: she amt SO good as Sam, though
she's oldeT-most seven, out it makes her
sick. Her stomach amt no good and she
can't stand the smell of the tobac'."
But you don't like to strip. either, do
you?"
Me? Oh, l don't mind much. and then
there's them that's worse off'n me. Take
our cousin Nome, what lives next door
She strips in the cellar on Webster street
you know the one / mean-and it's dark
there and wet. and she gets cold all sum-
mer and her eyes hurt er. Here it ain t
like that at all, SO l don't mind so much"
Are you going to school now?''
Nope, not since June; this is vacation
when we get our fun, but I'd rather go
| tn school n StriD tobacco
'Hows your mother today?"
Mas good enough, it's pa what is so
bad. He amt sick, you know but his
mind wanders all the time He talks
about Wyoming-says weI all go there
some day. If pa would only work, us kids
wouldn't have to strip, but pa, he Jest
sits and talks about Wyoming and how
to get there and what Wen do after we
gets there, and all about it, and ma, sne
can't get pa to do nothin'. It's hard for
ma. ma and the kids, but l guess there
amt nothin to do. Ma does all she can
and tells pa to do some stogie rollin', but
pa rolls fer about a minute and then he
begins to talk Wyoming"
What will you do when you grow up,
Charlie?"
"Oh, I'll give ma new hat, and I'll
take the kids to the park every day and
I'll take Nome out of the cellar what's
KILN of her, and rll-well, there amt
no use talking about it. I could stop
strippin' if pa would only go to work-if
