DR. OSLER ON DEATH.
Physician Criticises the Essay of MT.
 Maeterlinck

Dr. William Osler in the Spectator,
 A student for many years of the art and of the act of dying, I read with ca gerness Maeterinck's recent essay. only, l must confess. to be disappointed. A brilliant example of the type of litera- ture characterized by Hamlet in his fam ous reply 10 Polonius, there is an un- pleasant flavor. a eadaverous mustiness about the essay which even the words cannot cover; and in spite of the plea for burning burias. one smells every where ''the mould above the rose" To those of your readers who feel after the reading. as I did the chill of the charnel house, let me urge an hour in the warm sunshine of the Phaedo.
 But I write for another purpose-to pro- test against the pictures which are given of the act of dying, "The Tortures of the Last Illness. "The Uselessly Prolonged Torments,' "The Tuhearahle Memories of the Chamber of Pain." "The Pangs of Death" "The Awful Struggle" "The Sharpest Peak of Human Pan'' and Horror" !" The truth Is an immense ma jority of all die as they are horn-ohliv- ious. A few, very few. suffer severely in tho body, fewer still in the mind. Al most all Shelley's description fits
 Mild is the slow necessity of death; The tranquil spirit fails beneath its
 grasp,
 Without a groan, almost without fear. Resigned in peace to the necessity,
 Calm as a Voyoger to some distant land. And full of wonder. full of hope as he.''
 Nowadays when the voice of fate calls the majority of men may repeat the last words of Socrates. 'I owe cock to As clepius'--a debt of thankfulness. as was his, for fair and easy passage.

Alfalfa Has Its Pest

From the Springfield Republican.
 Alfalfa has grown so immensely in im- portance and is now cultivated in so large part of the country that there is widespread concern in the ravages of the alfalfa beetle. which has destroyed most of the crop in Utah. The California state horuculturist, Professor Cook, has just sent out a bulletin of warning in which he describes this new pest. which is said to come from the Mediterranean. It is interesting that the vacuum cleaner is being successfully used to gather the larvae from the fields. Here is another argument for vacuum cleaning railway cars-37 of the insects were found in one compartment of Pullman sleeping car. With such de luxe accommodations a plague travels fast

Descendants of Champlain

From the Argonaut.
 In the center of the Gulf of St Law
 renee the small group of Magdalen
 Islands are populated by 5000 or 4,ooO lin
 cal descendants of the Acadians under
 Champlan and De Monts. who were driv-
 on out of New France, Nova Scotia, by
 the English. Since the first settlement in 116S generations of the same families
 have raised scanty crops in the valleys
 and fed sheep and cattle on the high conical hills which constitute a prominent feature of an insular landscape. Year after year men have gone out on the waters of the gulf in search of the cod,
 mackere and Holsters on which live lhood depends. They are simple, primi- tive people these natives of the Mazda lens, laboring all the while under circum- stances that are most discouraging. The archipelago contains p or 13 distinct islands including several grim rocks which are not inhabited and never will be.

man. Mrs. Robert L. Livingston, Mrs.
 Howard Carroll. and Mrs Henry Selig-
 man.
 Why did Col. John Jacob Astor call off the great dinner dance at his home
 on January 22?
 This question generally asked In the ultra society circles of New York
 elected two answers, the first of which
 was that Mrs. Astor was tired out in
 maintaining her position as the bride
 of one of the foremost leaders of sos
 ciety, despite the fact that she is d splendid athlete, her diversion being tennis playing.
 The second answer was that the charmed circle had not extended the warmest hand of greeting to her. The much talked of dance was plan ned by Colonel Astor to launch his
 bride into the social season, and was one of the first events which the Colo
 nel had in mind for her entertainment
 during the winter.
 But he suddenly cancelled the affair. and come forth with the announcement
 that on January 26 he and Mrs. Astor would leave on an extended trip up the Nile in his yacht.
 While the seasons round of social gayeties has been under way for several weeks. the Astors have taken little part in them
 Last year the Colonel aided in receiv- ing by his sister, Mrs NJ Orme Wilson, entertained betwwen 600 and 700 guests at his home at dinner and dance and the affair was one of the most brilliant of the season. This year. it is under stood. Colonel Astor had expected to surpass all previous attempts at enter tainment in honor of the debut of Mrs. Astor as a social hostess. Extensive preparations had already been made at considerable expense, it is said: The first marriage ceremony to be

THE RICHES
GOULD NOT HOLD
Their Struggle In Opening
Mines That Have Pro.
duced Millions,

terminus. THE boys" got around the
obstacle by making traffic arrange.
ment with Il railroad that ram from
Winnipeg to Duluth and after two
years had their little hfty-mie road
built from the through line to their
mine
The building of that fifty mile rail-
road is one of the remarkable achieve
ments of the Merritts. To do it, when
men of money would not listen to their
appeal for funds, they had to sell
virtually every dollars worth Of prop.
erty IN their possession. Slowly, with
many Interruptions because of lack
OF cash. the rails went down in that
new. rough country until the line was
finished and ira importation was pro-
vided from the mine to the ore docks
which the brothers had built at AL.
louez. on the lake front.
1t was 1899 before the first train
load of ore was hauled from the mine
to the lake, In that year the Merritts
were out of debt and held the majority
of stock in property worth many mil
lions
Tho Meeting WIKI Rockefeller.
Then came disastrous 1898. The
Merritts were caught in the financial
crash and had to have cash. Leonfdas
went to New York. got money from
Rockefeller and later. as he testified,
was trimmed" by Rockefeller's fore
ing payment of a call loan Of several
hundred thousand dollars. Rockefel.
Ter has denied this, but the important
point is that Leonidas went to New
York with securities. bonds and stocks
now valued at over $7OO.OOOOOO and
left there after few months 'practi-
cally penniless."
There was another heavy drain on
the Merritt brothers resources after
that eventful visit to New York. That
was the famous legal fight which they
made against Rockefeller. They got
judgment against the oil man for $780,.
900, but were financially unable to
prosecute the case i'll the higher courts
and settled outside at a great sacrifice.
After these experiences the Merritts
could scarcely have been called well
to do" But through all their troubles =,
they managed to hold on to SOME @of
their unexplored lands. Since then !
