THE SEARCHILGHT
The Pleasures OF Dying.


It may be said that death has
been getting steadily more popular
for many centuries. and this is re-
grettable, for, according TO the best
scientific opinion on the subject.
death Is often one of the most COM
Portable things in life. In print
tive times men were used TO lacing
death and they made a point of
pride of facing it bravely. they
preferred to die in battle or the
chase, IN the middle ages. when
faith was strong and vivid, men re-
garded death as sacrament. and
much was written about holy dy-
ing But OF late it has become as
sociated more and more with I'M
dertaking parlors aud baskets. 1t
Is not a popular subject of CONVEX
sat;on. Men know they are going
to die, but they prefer to over
look the fact until they are face to
face with it. Yet The facts in the
matter show that death is easy for
most people. Comparatively few
persons are afraid of it, and conf
parativelv few suffer. Scientiiical-
ly, death is process of acidosis.
Whatever the cause. unless il is
very sudden and violent. the body
fails 10 neutralizc the acids which
It forms. causing cue slowly 10
sink into state OF apathy or coma
and then expire. It is probable that
the sensations are often pleasant.
