Farmers Wife Gets a Share
Most farm papers are gotten up with
the idea that they are read only by the
man who runs the farm Probably they
are because there is nothing in most of
them to interest anyone else and very
often it is pretty dry reading for him
There is one farm paper however that is
not built on this plan The Twentieth
Century Fanner whose editor has kept
tho entire family in mind in getting up
the paper There aro two pages that
are given over to the things that inter
est the farmers wife and a page for the
young folks Besides this she always
reads tho stories Frank Carpenters

and some other departments

THE FEAR OF DEATH
IT SHOULD FIND NO LODGMENT IN
ANY RATIONAL MIND
Yet Thin Dread of Meeting the In
evitable In So Unlvermil That Oar
Entire Social Kubrle In Largely
Unlit Upon It
Do we dread death on the same
principle that half a flock of sheep
leap through a certain hole iu a fence
because the other half has done so
1 For unless the fear be traditionary
and hereujtary it is hard to account
for it
Death is a change occupying a mo
ment from one form of life to another
Whether it come In the course of na
ture or by accident or design it Is sel
dom painful never probably bo painful
as a bout of the tootlmche It brings
as from a condition of bondage and
uncertainty at nest to one of freedom
and security But often it is a change
from slavery both physical and moral
to emancipation comparatively perfect
or if we hold the materialist view to
everlasting unconsciousness The spir
itual state is emancipated from the
inertia of matter and the tyranny of
space therefore thought will be pres
ence and a mans surroundings as to
both thing and person will be inevi
tably such as are most desirable to
him The evil will be emancipated
from the opposition of the good aud
the good will not be grieved and ham
pered by the machinations of the evil
The whole chapter of accidents which
here looms so large will there be elim
inated Time which now makes us
long for the arrival of an appointed
hour and now dread its too speedy
coming will be no more But we shall
measure life by its intensity and by its
opportunities In other words we shall
be the makers of our own times and
seasons
Death takes us from a world of ef
fects to one of causes The soul is
made of will and thought and as we
may daily perceive it is only the ob
struction of material conditions that
prevents ls from immediately accom
plishing oui desires and beholding the
realization of our thoughts Again
death is inevitable to all and to any
one who chooses is at any moment at
tainable By what logic can our fear
of it be defended
Yet we fear it so much and so uni
versally that our entire social fabric is
built largely upon that fear Our law
makes death the supreme penalty Our
funerals are occasions of mourning
and the medical profession one of the
most numerous extant spends its ex
istence in combating death We seek
eagerly all nostrums or elixirs that
promise us continuance of life We
ascribe supreme merit to the soldier
who risks his life for his country or to
the individual who sacrifices it for oth
ers We laud the stoicism which af
fects to despise death but which bases
the virtue of that despising upon the
acknowledged terror of the event Our
humanitarians spend sympathy and
money in attempting to prolong the
miserable condition of the poor and
diseased We shudder to hear of a vast
natural calamity like that of Marti
nique or of avoidable accidents such as
are furnished daily by railways and
other instruments of civilization And
all the while it Is the survivors who
suffer if any one does though they
too are soon comforted by time or the
insurance companies Tho dead man
the man who has entered upon the new
and spiritual life whom we absurdly
pity is free and his troubles are over
Suicides it is true are said to in
crease with civilization But few
philosophical suicides occur The ma
jority are induced by dread of life
overcoming dread of death It may be
doubted if suicide be ever the act of a
man at once perfectly brave and thor
oughly sane The value of this life
and it is a real value is in the disci
pline and experience it gives which it
is our honest and sensible duty to im
prove to the utmost and to the last
Life may be interesting and arduous
it may be disappointing and irksome
It is very seldom if ever uniformly and
positively agreeable Fear on the I
er hand is one of the worst and basest
of evils and fear of death the most
irrational It must have originated in
sheer ignorance and thoughtlessness
It ought to vanish before our modern
enlightenment and sagacity and with
its disappearance will appear social
changes that cannct but be revolution

Why said a lady reproachfully to
her husband you know when I say
Denmark I always mean Uolland
Perhaps the city girl in the following
story told by the Philadelphia Tele
graph allowed herself a similar lati
tude of expression
She was sitting on the porch lazily
rocking to and fro and watching the J
fireflies flitting about through the
shrubbery Suddenly she turned to
her companions and said in a musing
tone
1 wonder if it is true that fireflies
do get into the haymows sometimes
and set them afire
Everybody laughed at what was ap
parently a pleasantry but the young
lady looked surprised
Why said she it was only yester
day that I saw in the paper an article
headed Work of Firebugs It said
they had set a barn on fire Really
