He therefore investigated. No hi Miner was the solemn procession well away from tin; line than it changed , its course, and instead of goin toward San Diego went rapidly toward tho east, climbed the l.ill.4 until it reached Otay mesa, and xlpiM;d at a house where tho collin was taken in. It was by this tim-j growing dark, and the iierson wlio was following it was puzzled how tocontiime j his investigations. He rode boldly up to the corral and put tip Ins horse. The occupants of tho house were too busy to notice his arrival, lie then walked to tho house and looked through tho win dow cautiously. lie saw the whole crowd of mourners busily engaged in taking out small tin boxes of opium from the cadaver and piling them on tho table. The observer, feeling that he al ready knew too much for his own good, and fearful of detection, went quietly to the corral, saddled his broncho and de parted."

Persons frozen in blinding snowstorms have reported their sensations accurate ly, and they all agree that after a cer tain amount of suffering which every one feels at first in extreme cold they enter into a blissful state from which they do not wish to be roused. Morphine, cocaine, ether and lauda num bring to the patient tliis same mental and nervous condition, and pa tients resent any attempt to rouse them from their dreamy state. Nature sup plies her own anaesthetic before the im portant moment has arrived. Before the death rattle is heard the convulsed frame relaxes, the signs of V PLACES OF WOKSli.

Euthanasia, or the pleasure of dying, takes the very opposite view and proclaims death to bo easy ami almost painless. As the end of life approaches nature i often brings her peculiar ana'sthetic and '. the person passes off without suffering half the agony which the sickness caus- ; ing the death brought to the patient, i Even men meeting a violent death in the jaws of wild beasts have a few seconds of calm preparation before dying, which brings relief and a certain degree of , pleasure. The great trouble in death is the sickness and pain which carries one to the door of death, and it is at such ! moments that one suffers all the torment i and agony of a dozen deaths. The pleasures of dying can only be likened to those of the dreamy morphine Ciikjhtian. Cun-er l..ciiMf and Mutitli 8ts. sci'Vlt'es ii:nl Iiiiik Mi Mi l n; hldrl A.

A ParentlefeS t Fall. -The passengers on the 7:20 western bound passenger train of the Pennsyl vania railroad Friday evening had their hearts moved by a most touching eight. Huddled together in two of the train seats, facing one another, were eight lit tle children, the eldest not yet in her teens and the youngest a tiny babe, which otened its eyes to the light o Christmas day. These poor little onea were all brothers and sisters, but father less and motherless, left adrift thus ear ly in their lives without a single rela tive, save one in far off India, whither they were bound. The birth of the little babe Christmas morn had proven the death of its moth er. . The anguish stricken father, a poor mechanic named Robert Graham, turned from the sad bedside a heartbroken man. His sense of the overwhelming responsibility thus iuqiosed upon him combined with his great grief to pros trate him, and from the severe fever wliirli ensued lie never recovered.

Those who; have watched at hundreds of deathbeds have noted that death was easy, and oftfeera in battle have testi fied that the last moments of dying sol diers were painless. People who have been in the jaws of , wild beasts in India and have beeu rescued at the last mo ment, testify that a umbing calmness wf s experienced aftpr the first sharp, painful snap of the teeth upon them. In fact the approach of every creature's -iUi laiiign with-it Urindjyea atloaH when life is blissful and full of pleas ure. The last sensation in this world is then one of joy and not excruciating pain. The real knowledge of euthanasia certainly diminishes if it does not en tirely relieve the dread of many of the last strugglo, which has been made so horrible by descriptions of its agony. PLEASURES OF DYESG. The pleasures of dying may remove a great burden from the minds of hun dreds who are inevitably approaching death. The old fashioned notion that death would be terrible had a baleful 'influence uikii those who were fighting insidious diseases, and many aggravated their complaints by feverishly dreading the pain of the last struggle. In this way a great deal of harm was done, and many sufferers hastened their own end. Even in 1 he case of poisoning, the pain suffered is onl- when the system combats against the desire to yield to the influence of the drug. Sleep genei--ally steals over the person, and only the dreamy pleasures caused by the ioisoii and of dying are again experienced in this world. The greatest pain felt that of the stomach pump, which may be applied in time to recall the suicide to life, and in every case they rebel against this most emphatically. That the suf fering is not so terrible may be surmised from the fact that persons who have once attempted suicide frequently make the second or third attempt. It is a fact that the pain of death is frequently far less than the pain that accompanies many diseases that are not fatal. The pain of rheumatism, for in stance, is probably more severe than the usual pain of dying. So is the pain of neuralgia or the pain of the toothache. Death often, indeed, comes as silently and painlessly as sleep. Those at the bedside cannot see exactly when the vital spark of life gives out with any more certainty than you can tell when a drowsv tierson passes from semicon sciousness to actual sleep. If we were not all familiar with the phenomenon of sleep how we should fear that sweet ob livion; how we should stand affrighted on the brink before yielding our brain and bodv to the alisolute unconscious ness of healthy sleep.

The ue of amulets for disease seems to belong to a past age, yet. iu truth, su erstition is almost as rife today as in the romantic times when people discov ered fairy rings in the meailows and, by every wandering stream, the footprints of the water sprites. It hardly seems possible that eoptM-r rings or inlaid rings of iron or other bae metal should be worn today to ward off disease.
