THE ACT OF DYING.
Rsasons For Believing That it 10 an
 Easy Matter.

Reasons For Believing That t To an
 Easy Matter.
 The mere ultimate process of dying mny be a relatively easy matter. Any person who has been long i'll probably suffers more on any given day of his life than he will suffer in the net of departing from his body. It is proba- ble that broken bone, a dellrious fe- yer, n disordered vital organ. may cause more anguish than the final struggle. have my doubts whether the last pang is as bad as 1t seems, de clares Elizabeth Stuart Phelps in Har- per's Bazar. We are told by surgeons that chloroformed patients may give apparent evidence of acute ngonles which they do not feel. Death Itself is often an anaesthetic 50 merciful that what people call living trouble" Is obviously worse matter.
 l, for instance, who have never faint cd and never been anaesthetized in my life. have twice become from serious causes unconscious for short time, and l have often wished that l could make over to some recoiling soul whose name has been heard ringing upon the last roll call the unspeakable comfort which that brief experience has given me. There wns no pang, no terror, no time, no chance, for either. One seen- ed to glide gently and swiftly down warm abyss. flower scented. grass grown, safe and bcneficent. into unut- terable content. One melted into peace. One drifted into ecstasy beside which the deepest joys of conscious ness are poor, pale things.
 If one in truth should evade the body in such moment. death would stand chosen as the supreme delight of liv- ing

DUTCH STREET CARS.
The Conductor Carries More Docu nnents Than a Congressman.

Ino SON0uCtOT SHTTicS NiOTC OOSd-
 ments Than a Congressman.
 Countries may be known by their street cars. The rush and jar of our big cities are exemplified fin the rapid, rude transit of its inhabitants. So the character of orderly little Holland may be gathered from observation of her car service. Says J. L. Higinbotham In Three Weeks in Holland and Bel gium:'
 Street car care in Holland is cents trip, and for cents you receive a return ticket. The conductor carries more documents than congressman. For every fare he opens an aluminium box about by 6 and hands out re- ceipt or . return ticket. as the case may be.
 i When the passengers pay their tick cts he places the tickets in leather pouch hung by strap round his neck. It is important that you retain the re. ceipt given you, for at uncertain in tervals a "controlleur' gets on thr car and examines all receipts, puts his o. K. on them with a rubber staml and compares the result with the man ifest or log carried by the conductos It is quite the correct thing to tip the conductor with Dutch cent or two.
 Each car has card inside stating how many places there are. and oN each platform is another saying how many people may stand thereon When the seats and both platforms are full the sign ''Vor' is put up and nc more are permitted to get aboard Our car probably had thirty people ip 1t and on the platforms and was turn ing business away at every crossing,

THE SECURING RUSH.
A Queer Plant That Can Be Changed
 Into . Mineral.

Into . Mineral.
 The securing rush, Equisetum hie- male, is an interesting plant which has been put to practical use. In old times its hollow. flinty stems were fin great rcpute for kitchen cleaning purposes The stems are hollow and are easily separated at the joints. If one would satisfy himself as to the peculiar prop. erty that first suggested the use of this rush for securing purposes he has only to draw joint across the edge of hIs teeth to And 1t like Ale.
 A very pretty chemical experiment Is frequently made with the rush. If one takes small vial of nitric acid Into which any ordinary lead is i'm. mersed he will quickly see 1t dissolve. literally eaten up by the acid. But what does the securing rush do under such circuinstunccsi
 Immediately upon its introduction to the acid the sizzling process begins. The green pulp of the stem is grad, ually consumed. the tube, however, still retaining It's shape, becoming paler and paler in color until after few hours the specimen Is transformed into . pure white alabaster-like column which defies any further attack from the acid.
 On taking it from the vial and wash ing 1t carefully in running water the operator holds in his hands beauti- full tube of pure, glassy flint, or silex. an object of great microscopic beauty of construction. The securing rush Is no longer vegetable, but mineral, and in observing its skeleton of stone the secret of its utility as a securing brush Is easily understood.-New York Tribune

Some young idlers had been enjoying the fun of hailing passing shopgirls with rather doubtful compliments, and from some of the answers returned 1t was evident that not all of those ad- dressed were taking things kindly. Presently one of the older boys, seeing it was going too far, spoke up.

OF the Alleghenies the feature OF the
movement has been the buying OF
basic pig iron. Roughly speaking, this
section has taken about 10000 tons
OF basic iron: the buying being main
ly up to April, but a small proportion
has gone beyond that date.
Owing tC. the appearance OF the
railroads in the market. the steel max

have now booked orders. practically

I'VE believe that the pig iron mar

consumers have delayed filing their
requirements so that the buying move
