A MAN WHO PRACTICALLY DIED THREE TIMES IN ONE YEAR. ^Personal Experiences with. Death Go to Show That tho Moment of Final Disso lution Ia Absolutely Painless and With .; ont F eux of Future Ufe. Although, neither a physician nor a .^clergyman I -wish 1.0 corroborate the .' views of the physicians contradicting Rev. Di-. Epworth ender the heading, "What Is Death?' in yonr Sunday issue. As ^Federal soldier, May 81, 1862,1 was one of those who fought against ; the surprise of General Johnston, at the time commander of the Confed erate army, at Fair Oaks. The sur "prise was made at noontime, while ^our boys were eating lunch. I remem , ber one soldier being struck in a vital part- and killed while leaning upright 'against a tree in the act 'of carrying a -flapjack to his mouth, remaining aftoi *death in precisely the same position. - When I saw him standing .there I mis :.took him for a live man, especially as -.he seemed to me intent only on eating his flapjack, but tho illusion was dis / peiled when touching him, because as ? sn officer I wanted him to join his com rades. My Own personal experience in the :. matter confirms the physicians' also. The 30th of April, 1886, a fire was rag ing in my factory in San Francisco. By some means I was alxrat 150 feet from ^the main entrance in. the burning build ing when, to my dismay, I beheld the I five story wall topple over me through a ? skylight. Passively I lowered my head; thinking only of my coming death and I wishing it would be swift In less thar a second thousands of bricks fell on me ^ sounding like a big drumstick beating 5 on a big bass drum. I remember a :. crash,- then nothing, but whet? I came tc ?my senses 1 was wedged in betweei - heavy timbers, the upper part of my body only being free. - About a dozen steps back of me was s I stranger to me who had not received t .scratch, but ascertaining that my leg . was broken, and also my utter inability to save myself, ho crawled over to m< and attempted to pull me out of my ter rible situation. But all his efforts onlj increased my suffering, and as I sawth< ' flames come up I entreated him to leav< /me to my fate and try to save himself Finally he crawled away, promising .however, to return with help and axes 1 must have been bewildered, for'no ac' of my past life came to my memory, bu' suddenly thinking of my small, mother less children 1 shouted for help, wins tiing at intervals through my fingers. - Some firemen must have heard, fo? presently there vere several streams oi water poured on me. 1 then realizec my danger, yet I, who had never gon< into a battle without a pang, felt non? - whatever while in that deathtrap. Th< . water and smoke combined must hav< asphyxiated me, for when my strange] . returned leading a brave party of fire men and po! icm eu I laid as one dead Behaving me dead, and being in a verj dangerous position, they cut away pari of the timbers and rudely but safelj passed me over tho debris in the street, A deafening shout from an immense throng which had witnessed the gallanl rescue, streams of cold water and fre3i air revived me, and I begged of them tc be careful with my limbs, which wert : i dangling from my body. After many weeks of suffering the .?. physicians decided to break my leg S again, but being unable to- do it well while I had my senses they, decided tc - chloroform me. Being subject to heart gi disease I objected, but the matter being urgent. I finally consented to take the j anaesthetic. Fully convinced, however, - that 1 should die under its influence, but knowing that either way l would have to die, I'agreed to take the only chance of fifo I had and laid myself resignedly ;on my* back; yet, although convinced . : that my last hour had come, I had not the slightest recollection of my former deeds. * As I heard the physicians' whis pers gradually lost in the distance I was only wondering what would come next. I recovered, however; but, breaking my l?g-a third timt> on account of some adhesions in my: knee, it was decided that I should undergo another operation, which necessitated the use of anaesthet ics again. This time the physicians thought I was a goner sure, for it took them nearly two hours to revive me; yet, although certain of my last hour, I could, not recall my past life, and in neither case did I f-ear death when I had squarely to face it. In each instance the passing away was painless, while in the fire suffocation carno almost unconsciously, while al most the same sensation came in the other cases. In the case of the soldier at Fair Oaks (Seven Pines) a certain time must have elapsed between his decease and my notice of him, yet heaven or hades did not seem to bother him; his flapjack seemed to be what he wanted his eyes wore on it and his mouth was open ready to receive it. In my own case I could claim to have died three times within a year, yet I do not think I had any other but a sensation of rest. Dr. Epwor i, in his assertion also that either a look of horror or beatitude overspreads ; deceased person's face, seems to forget that the Scriptures teach us that the soul leaves our ' terrestrial envelope at once on dissolution; hence the body cannot show what reception the soul had on the other side of the Styx.-An Interested Reader in New York Press. Louis Philippe and the Queen. Louis Philippe and Queen Victoria were once walking in the garden at Eu, when he offered her a peach. The quaea seemed rather embarrassed how to alia it, when Louis Philippe took a lalgl ciaspknife from his pocket. "Whaaj a man has been a poor devil like mys??y he said, "obliged to Uve on forty goal a day, he always carries a knife. I miafa? have dispensed with it for the last few years. Still I do not wish to losetkj habit; one does not know what BBS* happen."-San Francisco irgonavt? A Feat in "Writing. , ' .John J. Taylor, of Streator, Ills., once wrote 4,100 words on the blank side of a postal card. This was sent to a Chicago paper, which heralded the story to the world as being the most wonderful piece ? of penwork ever executed. As a matter of fact Mr. Taylor s effort has been dis counted on several occasions. Beedie, thc penman of Ottery St. Mary, Liver pool, once wrote the following pieces en tire, without the slightest abbreviation, sui upon a piece of cardboard Z% hy 3% inches in size: Goldsmith's "Traveler," "Tri Deserted Village," "Essay on Edu cation," "Distress of a Disabled Soldier," " "The -Tale of Azim," "Justice," "Gen erosity," "Irresolution of Youth," "Frail ty of *Man," "Friendship" and the "Ge nius of Love." In the center of the card there was a perfect picture of Ottery church, all of the shades and lines being formed of parts of the writing. As a kind of tale pieco ho added the anthem of "God Save the Queen," embellished it with seventy : two 6tars, fifty-one crescents and nine teen crosses, finishing the whole by draw ing a picture of a serpent which inclosed the whole of the miraculous production. If you wish to ascertain exactly how much Boodle's effort exceeded that of Mr. Taylor, count the words in the Goldsmith pieces catalogued above.-St. Louis Reuublic TITLES OF ENGLISH WOMEN. * Distinctions That May Seem Bathor Com plicated to an American. It is little wonder that foreigners bun gle over onr titles aa they do, when in our own public speeches and newspa pers it is often made plain that many do not understand howto use English titles. For instance, A marquis' daughter who married a man-without a title keeps the title of "lady" and her own Christian name and adds to these the husband's surname. _ Tims, when Lady Evelyn Fitzmaurice, the daughter of the Marquis of Lands downe, married Mr. Victor Cavendish ehe became Lady Evelyn Cavendish; ; but the London dailies spoke of "Lady Victor Cavendish's going away dress." The only case niwMch a lady of title i is called by her husband's Christian . name as well as his surname i is in the ; case of the vrita? of the younger sons of ; dukes and marquises. These men bear courtesy titles of . "lord" before their Christian names and surnames, as Lord George Hamil - . ton, Lord Charles Beresford, and so on, i and the only-correct way of addressing ; or speaking of their wives is the same '. way, putting "lady" in the place of , "lord." To call the wives of younger sons Lady Hamilton, Lady Beresford, or i whatever is the surname,, without the male Christian name, is as incorrect as. . to call Lady Evelyn Cavendish by her ? husband's full name. i On the other hand, the wife of a bar . onet or of a knight is "lady," with his i surname alone after it. t Confusion grows in many minds from the fact that any peeress (under the 1 rank of a duchess) is also spoken of, and i to, by her equals as merely ''Lady So and-so"-the mame added, however, not ; being the family name, but the title of i the husband., > Thus no equal would say, "I saw the r Marchioness of Salisbury" or "There is r the Countess of Lathom," it would he Lady Salisbury and-Lady Lathom. i A duchess, the highest rank in tho i peerage, is the only peeress who escapes f this equality of title in the everyday . language of her equals in society. She ) is never called "lady" only, but is - spoken of as "the Duchess of So-and-so" r in full always, and- is - addressed in con- - j versation by her friends as "duchess," ) the name of the peerage not added. .. Moreover, every other lady pf title, , from a knight's- wife (which-, isi?qt a . real title), right away np to a march t iouess, is equally "wy lady" to her so t cial inferiors. Sir John Smith's wife is Lady Smith. - The wife of Lord John Smith, who is a . peer's younger son, is Lady John Smith, r and if yon know her on terms of equal E ity ypn may call her Lady John, but 1 never Lady Smith. Lady Mary, daugh ; ter of either the earl or the marquis, or j the duke of somewhere, and the wife of 3 Mr. John Smith, is Lady Mary Smith; 5 call her Lady'Mary if she seems friend : ly, but not Lady Smith or Lady John Smith. TV T\fe of Lord Smith, or the earl ' or the marquis of Smithville, you may ; call Lady Smith or Lady Smithville, as r the case may be, but if Smithville is a . duke on no account call his wife Lady > Smithville. ; If you tMpTr that she will not snub i you as too familiar, you may call her > simply "duchess." You may say f "Duch i ess, may I get you some tear'for ex- : ample. But till you know her well, or ; feel on quite friendly terms, it had bet ; ter be, "Will your grace take a cup of I tea?" i Finally, the oddest thing of all, if fate : should malee you acquainted with a : ; prir.ee or princess of the blood royal, i you will seem very second rate if yon keep saying, "your royal highness." You must say "sir" , and "ma'am.^ ; i Not, if you please, "madam," but i "ma'am," as your housemaid says to ! your own meek better half, Mrs. Smith. . Even a duchess calls a princess ' ; "ma'am."-London Letter. Intermarriage in Eurasia. There is no remote chance of Eurasia ! ever being reabsorbed by either of its original elements; the prejudices of both 1 Europeans and natives are far too vigor ous to permit of much intermarriage , with a people who are neither one : nor the other. Occasionally an up ; country planter, predestined to a remote ; and "jungly" existence, comes down, to ? Calcutta and draws his. bride from the. upper circles of Eurasia-this not so j often now as formerly. Occasionally, too, a young shopman with the red of 1 Scotland fresh in his cheeks is carried off by his landlady's daughter, while Tommy Atkins falls a comparatively ' easy prey. . The sight of a native with s half caste wife is much rarer, for there Eurasian as well as native antipathy comes into operation. The whole conscious in clination of Eurasian life, in habits, ! taste, religion and most of all in am bi- < ti on, is toward the European and sway ' from the native standards.-Sara J. Duncan in Popular Science Monthly. Virus and Venom- , The difference between venom and a j virus is very marked. I Both are poisons, ; and both of organic origin, but a venom j is produced in secroting organs,-;.com- j monly called poison glands, and is intro duced into the system by means especial- < ly adapted for the purpose, such as stings' '< or fangs. On the other hand, a virus is : the result of disease or putrefaction, and generally possesses the property of excit ing in the system^ into which it is intro- ? doced the disease which produced the 1 virus. A virus commonly produces lit tie, if any, local disturbance; a venom ll generally causes great pain, often severe inflammation and swelling. Venom has a marked, local effect; virus causes a general disturbance of the system.-St. i ! I Louis Globe-Democrat. i Large Doses.

Though one of his many titles h> 1 that of "guardian and commander of 1 the true believers," this authority if? 1 very shadowy-at least as far as thc ?

Perhaps a greater de- ? mon never prowled the seas or walked r the earth in human form. v Even in personal appearance he was D hideous and repulsive, nature having ^ stamped him both as a physical and ? moral monster, The name by which he D was known throughout the world was h derived from a singular circumstance, j which illustrates his savage ferocity. His naturally dark and forbidding face was covered almost to his fierce, sensu ous 6yes with a, shaggy black beard, . reaching below the waist. This hirsute * adornment, of which he was very proud, n and which he cultivated with sedulous care, he was accustomed to braid with ribbons and to twist about his ears until it stood forth like projecting horns. Into the ends of these he stuck small, slowly burning fuses, whose sulphurous ? fumes enveloped him in a lurid hue and . rendered him a not unfitting representa . !' rion of the satanic ideal, whose character he so successfully emulated. In time of a action he slung around his neck a scarf. 6 into which were thrust three brae*" 0 pistols.

He first emerged jjj from obscurity as a common sailor on fl board a privateer commanded by Cap tain Benjamin Hornigold, sailing from J Jamaica and preying upon French com merce. In that numble capacity he dis tinguished himself by his skill and cour age, which attracted the attention of his not over scrupulous commander, who a soon intrusted him with a prize he had 0 captured. In 1717 these two choice h spirits spread their sails from Provi Aence (auspicious name!) for America, c capturing en voyage three vessels laden c with wine, flour and miscellaneous car- ti goes, which they appropriated to their h own nie and turned the. crews adrift. t( The speed of their-vessels being erip- h pied hy foul bottoms, they.

The Germans have some educational leas which we in this country have bor-, owed with profit, and there are still thers which wo might be wise to adopt, un on g them no doubt are the wall . laps of different species of pos! i ferons reeds, which hang in schoolrooms where be children can see them as long aa they j 0 to school. A practical idea underlies the display ag bf these maps. It is well known bat farmers are prone to treat all weeds like, and hardly to observe any differe nce between them, whereas the natures ? f weeds differ as much as the natures f other plants do, and the sort of reatment which will exterminate one rill sometimes increase and multiply nother. It is important therefore that the farm r and gardener should understand the reeds which they are trying to external ate. It is here that these German wall laps come in. They show colored pic ares of the most pestiferous weeds, in ll stages of growth, and also the ways a which they scatter their seeds and ropagate themselves. By learning them boroughly, through seeing them day by ay on the walls, the child grows up nth a knowledge of the best way to ex jrminate them-Youth's Companion. Liszt's Gypsy Protege. ?
