THE ACT OF DYING.
Reasons For Believing That 1t 10 an
Easy Matter.

The mere ultimate process of dying
may be a relatively easy matter. Any
person who has been long Ill probably
suffers more on any given day of his
life than he will suffer In the act Of
departing from his body. 1t Is proba-
BILE that a broken bone, a delirious fe-
yer, a d~isordered vital organ, may
cause more anguish than the final
struggle. l have my doubts whether
the last pang is as bad as 1t seems, de-
clares Elizabeth Stuart Phelps in Har-
peris Bazaar. We are ted by surgeons
that chloroformed patients may give
apparent evidence of acute agonies
which they do not feel. Death itself
Is often an anaesthetic SO merciful
that what people call Giving trouble"
is obviously a worse matter.
I, for instance, who have never faint
ed and never been anaesthetized In my
life, have twice become from serious
causes unconscious for a short time,
and l have often wished hat I 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 was no pang, nc terror, no
time, no chance, for either. One SEEM
ed to glide gently and swiftly down a
warm abyss. flower scented, grass
grown, safe and beneicent, 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 q moment, death would stand
chosen as the supreme delight of liv-
Ing.

rules of conduct and her freedom. He
has grown Up with her, has been her
companion through school and very
possibly through college, and she Is
no puzzle to him. When she is uncon-
ventional he understands her perfect
ly and is careful to make no mistake.
The foreigner has no such key to
the situation. TO him she Is what she
appears to be, and he governs him
self accordingly. He knows that the
well bred young woman of his race is
hedged about with conventions, never
for q moment left without a chaperon,
and he understands also what is tx
pected of him.
When everything is considered he is
not so much to be blamed for his
opinion of the American girl, formed
hastily and before he has had an OPP
%portunity to get at the fact. Her
frankness and liberation of his society
suggest c~amara1erie to him, and he
soon abandons the delicacy which he
must exhibit Ia the presence of a
young girl of his own race. With her
imperfect knowledge of French social
restrictions, the American girl fails
to recognize the lapse on his part, and
her apparent disregard of 1t encour-
ages him to commit some further
breach of what he understands to be
etiquette. 1t is only when her quick
wit admonishes her that she is being
treated as al American and not as a
convent bred Gemoiselle that she re-
allies her mistake.
Paris student life has been made
American young men, and with her
growing assumption of individual in
dependence the American young wom-
an has been tempted to explore for
herself some of the localities made in
teresting by the novelist and traveller.
1t is an innocent enough ambition,
but 1t is as impracticable as 1t is dam
gerous. 1t is not prudent for any
young person whose curiosity has thus
been artiicially stimulated to go alone
to Paris or ary other great foreign
city.
Inc luea Is prevalent III ILLS cOuHtly
that once in Paris it is easy for a stu.
dent to find SOME place in which living
can be made as cheap as at any of the
smaller American colleges. The truth
is that living expenses for the girl
student are very high. Many ambi-
tious American young women go
abroad with the idea that they can Sc
cure work enough to pay at least part
of their expenses. 1t would probably
be easy enough to do this in New
York or Chicago, but in Paris, for in
stance, 1t is practically impossible.
To do so would require a thorough
knowledge Of French.

1t is not likely that any English
speaking people understand SC keen

ties of language as that which charac-
terizes the French g%rammarians. We
may help ourselves to understand it

STUDYING ABROAD.
Not Practicable For the American Girl
Who Is Alone.

The American girl of the period is
such a brave and resourceful young
person that she does not hesitate to
undertake many things which her
mother or at least her grandmother
would have left untried. One of these
heroic ventures is going abroad alone
to study-perhaps In Paris. According
to Miss Caroline Patch, for four years
secretary OF the Young Women's Chris
tan association in the French capital.
who is now In this country, this is a
very unwise thing for an American
girl to do.
1t isn't merely that the French code
of morals and the French name Of
regarding women are different, al
though that must be taken into o n
~sideration. The first danger comes
from the changed views of the girls
themselves They want to acquire all
the knowledge of the language and the
people that Is possible, and for that
reason they elect to live amsHg the
natives. 1t is only natural also for
the wide awake American girl In Paris
to want to take advantage of every
opportunity to study French life and
to make herself familiar with the
French point of view.
This is all very praiseworthy, but
there Is danger in 1t. Her effort to
obtain this knowledge leads her into
an environment which is totally I'M
familiar to the well bred American
girl and is something which she does
not understand at all. First of all.
she will encounter an utter disregard
for the conyentionalities-always n
safeguard In an English speaking city
and In the course of a very short
time she will find herself doing things
and saying things which would be re-
garded as impossible In a cultured
American household. OF course she
assures herself that this condition is
but temporary-that she is only doing
as the Romans are doing while she
is In their company and will resume
her former conduct when she aban-
dons Bohemia.
1t is dangerous. In this country man
understands the American girl. He
knows all about her independence, her

HIS THREE WIVES.
They Were All In One Picture, but
Did Not Stay There.

Allan Cunningham In his Lives of
British Painters tells a story of Cop

Lyndhurst, which reveals what a por-
trait painter endures from the vanity
md eccentricity of his sitters.
A certain man had himself. his wife
and seven children painted by Copley
In a family piece.

man on seeing the finished picture,

But replied the artist, ''she is
dead. What can 1 do? She must
come in as en- angel"
"Oh. no; no angels for me. She
must come In as a woman"
The portrait was added, but several
months elapsed before the man again
called at Copley's studio, and when he
did a strange lady held on to his arm.
ST must have another sketch from
your hand, Copley," said he. IAN ac-
cident befell my second wife. This
lady Is my third, and she has come to
have her likeness included in the fami-
ly picture"
The painter introduced the likeness
of wife No. 8, and the man expressed
himself satisfied with the portraits OF
his three spouses. But the lady re-
monstrated. Never was such a thing
heard of. Her predecessors must go.
The artist painted them out. Then
the man disputed the price. Copley
sued him, and his son, the future Lord
Lyndhurst, ~signallzed his call to the
bar by gaining his fathers

FREAK STORM sCAREs SHORE.
Thunder Peals and Lightning
Flashes Amid Snowfall.

ATLANTIC CITY, March -
Terrific peals of thunder and light
ming flashes in the midst of a driv-
ing snowstorm here tonight startled
the resort with one of the strangest
weather phenomena ever known.
Patrons of big beach front hotels
gathered on piazzas to witness the
perculiar freak of nature and super
stitious negroes in the tenement
section were In panic.
Patrols of the government coast
guard who took the first lightning
flashes for Coston signals from ves-
sells in distress started rumors of
coast wrecks that aroused the resort.
The electric storm lasted for over an
hour.
