I have my doub the last pang is as bad as it clares Elizabeth Stuart Phelps in Har per's Bazar. We are told by surgeons that chloroformed patients may give apparent evidence of acute agonies which they do not feel. Death itself is often an anaesthetic so merciful that what people call "living trouble" is obviously a worse matter. I, for instance, who have never faint ed and never been anaesthetized in my life. have twice become from serious causes unconscious for a short time. and I have often wished' that I could make over to some recoiling soul whose name has been heard ringing upon the last roll call the unspeakable comfort which that brief experience has given me. There was no pang. no terror, no time, no chance, for either. One seem ed to glide gently and swiftly down a warm abyss. flower scented, grass grown, safe and beneficent, into unut terable content. One melted into peace. One drifted into ecstasy beside which the deepest joys of conscious ness are poor, pale things. If one in truth should evade the body in such a moment, death would stand chosen as the supreme delight of liv ing. HIS THREE WIVES. They Were All In One Picture, but Did NotStay There. Allan Cunningham in his "Lives of British Painters" tells a story of Cop ley, the father of Lord Chancellor Lyndhurst, which reveals what a por trait painter endures from the vanity and eccentricity of his sitters. A certain man had himself, his wife and seven children painted by Copley in a family piece. "It wants but one thing," said the man on seeing - the - finished picture. "and that is the portrait of my first wife. This one is my second." "But." replied the artist, "she is dead. What can I do? She must come in as an aigel." "Oh. no: no angels for me. She must come in as a woman." The portrait was added, but several months elapsed before the man again called at Copley's studio, and when he did a strange lady held on to his arm. "I must have another sketch from your hand, Copley;" said he. ". ac cident befell my second wife. This lady is my third, and she has come to have her likeness included in the fami ly picture." The painter introduced the likeness of wife No. 3, and the man expressed himself satisfied with the portraits of his three spouses. But the lady re monstrated. Never was such a thing heard of. Her predecessors must go. The artist painted them out Then the man disputed the price. Copley sued him, and his son, the future Lord Lyndhurst, signalized his call to the bar by gaining his father's~cause. A Bad Dream. It is not likely that' any English speaking people understand so keen and punctilions a devotion to the nice ties of lhmguage as that which charae terizes the French grammarians. We may help ourselves to understand ft perhaps by reading & story told of X. L~amany. One night he awoke and sprang out of bed with a wild cry. His wife came running. He was in alarm and de spair. "Why, what is the matter?" she gasped. "I dreamed," said the professor. 'Oh, I had a horrible, a heartrending Ireaml" "What was it?" "I dreatmed I was talking, and I dis tinctly- heard myself utter a sentence which had a grammatical error in it!" Couldn't Miss the Chance. One scarcely looks for humor in an undertaker, but that this, like most rules, has its exceptions was proved Lecently in Scotland. A tract distrib ter had affixed this text to a tree on :he highroad. "It is appointed to man nce to die." This was too good an >pportunity to be missed by the local urveyor of cofins, who promptly idded the following announcement: -Funerals economically furnished by Blank.'' Honor. "What they call 'honor' is a mighty aurious thing," observed Uncle Jerry Peebles. "I know a man who would cheerfully starve himself to pay a amblin' debt, and he still owes the reacher that imarried him twenty even years ago."-Chicago Tribune. Art In the Soup. The artist's wife leaned over and ooked at her husband's soup after she bad handed it to him. "Oh," she cried, "look at the scroll the fat has made in your soup. Isn't t artistic? Don't eat it It is so beau tiful." Forced Econorny. "Poor Tom, it cost him a terrible2 lot : gi--a up his sweetheart." "Then why did he?"

"No. I ain't going." "Oh, my little dear." said her uncle, "you must not say 'I ain't going.' You must say 'I am not going.'" And he proceeded to give her a little lesson in grammar. "You are not going. He is not going. We are not going. You are not going. They are not going. Now, can you say all that, Jenny?" "Sure. I can." she replied, making a courr-sy.

Curious Desires Have Actuated Many Testators. The dryness of the law is sometimes alleviated by the freaks and whims that appear in wills. Some persons have used their wills as means of paying off old scores. In 1770 Stephan Swain of the parish of St. Olaves. London, left "John Abbott and Mary, his wife, G shillings each for a halter for fear the sheriff should not be provided." In 1793 Philip Thickness willed that his right hand be cut off and sent to his son "in hopes that such a sight may remind him of his duty to God after having so long neglected the duty he owed to a father who once affectionately loved him." Lieutenant Colonel Nash got even ! with his wife by leaving the bell ring ers of Dath abbey E50 a year on condi tion that they muffle the bells of said abbey on the anniversary of his mar riage and ring them with "doleful ac centuation from S a. m. to S p. in." and on the anniversary of his death to ring a merry peal for the same space "in memory of his-happy release from omestic tyranny and wretchedness." Jasper Msyne, who died in 1G20. must have been a person of humor. He left his servant an old valise, stat lug that it contained something that would enable him to drink. When the ralise was opened it was found to con tain only a red herring. Ocasionally a testator exhibits an )rigihal idea as to the disposition of his body. Sieur Benoit, whose will was probated in Paris in 1S77, ordered that he be buried in his old trunk to save the.expense of a coffin. He added that be was attached to the trunk. it having ;one around the world with him three times.-New York Post. FAKE PAINTINGS. One of the Ingenious Tricks of the Picture Dealer. The tricks of the picture dealer? They are not to be counted. Here is >ne that was played quite recently. A ealer ordered from an artist a tavern scene in the old Dutch style signed in :he corner with a facsimile of Jan teen's signature. When the smoky loo of age had been given it the dea: ar eyed it with approval. "Splendid'" he said to the needy et st. "It's a pity you shouldn't have the credit of it. Pray sign it c.'ith your >wn name. It may make your reputa tion." The poor artist, delighted, painted aer the signature of Jan Steen and set iis own name there. Three weeks ater the picture started for New York. %onsigned to a Fifth avenue merchant )f paintings. But by the same boat cent an anonymous letter to the cus tom house officials warning them that in attempt was being made to smug ;le in a che d'oeuvre of the Dutch school worth $40,000. The picture was seized. Experts were called in. They ;craped off the signature of the artist nd found underneath that of Jan steen. The importer had to pay a fine )f 50 per cent-that is, $20,000-and in iddition $8,000 duty. Three days later, however, he sold his Jan Steen (guar intee i by the United States govern :nenty for the round sum of $50,000.

An Irishman one day was told to put up a signboard on which were the words "To Motorists-This Hill Is Dangerous." Away went Mike with the signboard ad placed it at the bottom of a very steep ill. A few days later his em ployer went to see how the board was put up and, finding it at the bottom of the hi!i, sought and found Mike. "You blooming fool!" he cried. "Why didn't you put that sign in the right place?" "Shure and ain't it?" asked Mike. "Don't all the accidents happen at the bottom ?"-Harper's Weekly. The Cricket's Chirp.

One of the drugs that are most strik ing in their effects is hasheesh, or:. Cannabis indica. largely taken in Asiat- t ic countries, where I used myself to meet its votaries. Its chief peculiarity is to make one believe with all his might whatever is suggested to him. If he is an Arab. tell him that he is a sultan, and straightaway he orders heads to be cut off. Tell him he is a rooster, and he will crow. I knew of two Americans who experimented on themselves, and when the first was told that he was like a locomotive he snorted and whistled and kept going round the table puffing and blowing until he dropped from sheer fatigue. The other somehow conceived the idea that he was dead and forthwith gave elaborate directions for his own funeral till he waxed wroth at the unseemly mirth of his companions when they should have wept. Hasheesh makes its slave utterly useless for any service, and so with the other drugs. Their victims one and all end in becoming do-nothings. Self made do-nothings, or those who are so by drug taking, are much worse than useless. As they usually do not begin till as adults they reach the working period of life, they become wretched burdens on the real workers. since our social system lacks any constitutional enact ment whereby. as occurs in a commu- I nity of bees, the workers systematical ly put their drones to death. I The opium fiend from lon-; living In an unreal world becomes transformed e into the most all round liar in the land, the very embodiment of un veracity. One of them victimized me' c with a loan that he might go and t close the eyes of his dying mother when her eyes needed no such closing t for years afterward. Another sent from a western city to his wife a telegram which purported to come from an undertaker demand iug money to pay for shipping his body home. This money, when it came, he, and unfortunately no undertaker. pocketed and then went his way. We all know what the confirmed drunkard becomes, but not till the judgment day will the whole story be known of the griefs and tears of the innocent ones whon the drunkard made to suffer while he was here.

On a certain occasion a meet- t ing had been convened, and a large crowd assembled in a room on the first t :door of a building in a small city in C Ireland. O'Connell was about to address the I people when a gentleman, pale with t fear, made his way to the platform and I hoarsely whispered: S "Liberator, the floor is giving way! The beams that shore it up are crack u}g, and we shall fall through In a few f ninutes!" e "Keep silent," said O'Connell. Then, f raising his voice, he addressed the as- C sembly: c "I find that the room is too small to l contain the number who desire to come in, so we must leave It and hold the meeting outside the building." At this a few rose and went out, but I the majority retained their seats. Then O'Connell said: "I will tell you the truth. You are Irishmen, therefore brave men. The door is giving way, and we must leave 1 this room at once. If there is. a panic and a rush to the door we shall all be precipitated into the room below, but if you obey - my orders we shall be saved. ILet the twelve men nearest the ~ door go quietly out, then the next twelve, and so on till all -nave gone. I shall be the last to leave." His instructions were obeyed to the etter, and he waited, patient and calm, till all had gone out In safety. Then the walked quietly across the sunder lag, cracking floor, reaching the door just as the shattered beams gave way. And thus, by the force of his strong will, a terrible accident was averted.
