Pain or Fright, It Would Appoar, la R.irvly Proaont. A distinguished British physician wlici tins I khmi nt «01110 imtns lo collect data on llio subjivt ««sort» that fow IH'isojia «bout to die have really nu.v four o f dissolution. There Is ottod the 011 «e o f the African explorer who was partially devoured by a lion, llo de clared that tie felt no pain or fear and that Id« only sensation was one o f In tense curiosity as to what portion of Ids In dy the lion would lake next.

Turkish ambassador i-t London, used to tell o f an attack made upon hlui by a hear during a hunt In the east The beast tore o(T a hit of the Turk's hand, a part o f his 1:-1 and a portion o f his shoulder. Rustem solemnly averred that he suf- lere I neither pain nor fear, but that he felt the greatest Indignation because Cm I ear grunted with so much satis- facil.nl while munching him. Grant Allen, whose scientific habit of thin .-lit gave weight to his words, say# that In his boyhood he had a narrow escape from drowning. . While skating he fell through thin ice over a place whence several blocks , had the day In-fore been removed, lie was carried under the thicker Ice be yond and when he came to the surface tried to break through by butting hls head against it. The result was that he was stunned, then numbed by the cold and so waterlogged that artificial respiration had to he employed to re store him. These are the Impressions as re ortled by him with reference to the pain he suffered: "The knowledge that l have thus ex perienced death In my own person has had a great deal to do with iny utter physical Indifference to It. I kuow how It feels 1 had only a sense o f cold, damp and breathlessness, a short strug gle. and then all was over. "I had been momentarily uncomfort able. but It was not half so bad. as breakiug an arm or having a tooth drawn In fact, dying Is ns painless as falling asleep. It is only the previous struggle, the sense o f Its approach, that Is at all uncomfortable. Even this Is less unpleasant than l should hare ox pected There was a total absence o f nwy craven shrinking. The sensation was merely the physical one o f gasping for breath — Harper's Weekly.

Positively all papers stopped on expiration o f subscription The close of the public career of Senator Bailey, of Texas presents an object lesson which should not be lost upon aspirin# statesmen. Acquiring prominence early in life because of his re markable oratorical talents, Bailey soon became the recognized leader o f his party in the senate, and a presidential nomination, if not an election to the highest office in the country, was easily within his grasp. But such a shining prize was not to be over looked by the great trust organizations which have dominated the upper house for years, and the Texas man seems to have been un able to resist the tempting offer of quick riches dangled before him. He fell, and bartered his brilliant and honorable future for the gold that Standard Oil was willing to pay him for services in shaping or blocking legislation, as their interests required. Bailey has quit the senate, rich no doubt in wordly goods, but discredited, disappointed and broken in spirit. His last ad dress in that body, was a pitiable wail. It is evident that no one realizes more than thi senator himself how dearly he hus paid for the riches that came to him through unworthy channels. John D. has thirty-thiee telephones in his house. If the average man had that many perhaps he might be able sometimes to find one that wasn’t busy. T" , Commercial il Ictel Under New Managerm int Good Rooms. Hot and Cold Water R. J .

Keith in u lecture to the British as sociation at Dundee, that man a» we know bltn now took on his human characteristics somewhere near the beginniug o f the pliocene period, and while the exact date Is simply a guess the liest estimates available Indicate 1,488,000 B. C. as not far from the truth. If the evidence o f the flint collectors is accepted as authentic, pliocene man is a possibility. Professor Keith was sure we had traced ourselves back to the middle of the pleistocene, when we were ac companied by another form o f man almost ns distinct from us as the gorilla Is from the chimpanzee. At the beginning o f the pleistocene there were at least two varieties o f man— the pre nennderthnlold o f Heidelberg and the small brained man o f Java— but the “ representative o f modern man at that early period” has not as yet been found. If the claims o f M. K11 tot are accept ed. the antiquity o f man is at least 3.000.(00 years. According to Professor Keith, the orthodox (by which presum ably he meant scientifically orthodox) opinion Is that "the dawn o f the very earliest form o f humanity lies 400,000 years behind us " From all o f which It is plain that the beginnings of the age o f man are still shrouded in mys tery. "The idea 1 wish to leave In your minds is." said Professor Keith In conclusion, “ that In the distant past there was not one kind, but a nuinlier o f very different kinds o f men In ex istence. all o f which have become ex tinct except that branch which l.as given origin to modern man.” —New York Post.
