IY TOD BAVl ALWAT8 L1V.D BIGBT,
YOU KUD NOT Tt&R. TRI STIKO Of
DIATU.
An English woman thoofthf, to be
dead and about to be buried suddenly
became eonaeious again and told, wiib
not uninteresting detail, "how it feels to
die." The sentence is full of potency to
aliraol; for who would not know some
thing of the greatest of mysteries?
But the promise is still far from ful
fillment, ts the woman did not die, end
obviously her eiperienoe gout tn io-
Bnitely small way toward making the
riddle clear.
The trance ttate is nearest to death
aocording to our knowledge of the sub
ject, though better data on which to
base judgment is afforded by the phe
nomena of sleep How it feels to sleep
may reveal haw it felt to die.
A mm whose day's work hat b&n
well done and upon whose eoDscienoe
rests no weight will gradually sink away
into refreshing slumber, the sweetest
part of it being the drops of forgetful-
ncs finally fall upon his heavy lids and
the entire world of the actual slips away
as the familiar day lap into the great
shadow ol sight.
Tee bard tells that contoienoe may
murder sleep. So, likewise, msy con
science murder death, which normally
should come as softly as the falling of
leaf. Conscience either fills death with
horrors, peoples it with its shining
shspes, or revesls it as a stsrlit sea of
eternal calm.
Why should we concern ourselves to
know how it feels to die? Of million
souls no two would give precisely the
ssme answer. It is entirely a matter of
personal equation, and we should con
cern ourselves principal'y with how to
live. That is t problem which may
bring out tbe very best in a man or
the worat.
Life it something actual, tangible,
placed at man's dispossl to make or mar,
to shape into i thing of majesty and
beauty or render it mis-shapen and re
pliant. The man who lives wisely finds
the reward and the fullness of his deeds
io his death. If his conscience sounds
no note of distent be does not need the
gift of nre-vision to tell how it will feel
to die.
An expiring wife in New York, grate
ful to the nurse who had so tenderly
eared for her and grieving to leave bir
husband wi.hout a helpmeet, made the
nurse promise to become the wife of the
men. The promise was made and after
ward fulfilled, aod the invalid, with
every care lifted, trailed and passed away.
The attendinz eircumatsnoes told how
she felt to die. She simply saok into a
contented sleep.
It's a wise woman who keeps her bus-
bind eonvinctd that she is, a wingless
sngel.

Backed ud by over a third of a
century of remarkable and uni
form cures, a record such as no
other remedy for the diseases
and weaknesses oeculiar to
women ever attained, the pro
prietors and makers of Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription
now feel fully warranted in of
fering to pay S500 in legal
money of the United States for
any case of Leucorrhea, Female
Weakness. Prolapsus or Falling
of Womb, which they cannot
cure. All they ask Is a fair and
reasonable trial of their means
of cure. All correspondence
held sacredly confidential.
If you require medical advice
don't fail to write Doctor R. V.
Pierce who will give you the
best advice possible. Address
Buffalo, N. Y.
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets
are a ladies' laxative. No other
medicine equals them for gen

Tbe oountry store I used to koow comes back to me today
In riling tides of memory that swjep the years away.
I tee its weather-beaten front, 4be dingy window panes,
The sugar soslo, the letter box, the floor's tobaooo ataina,
Tbe jumbled stock of groceries io psokags, pail and bar,
Aod, best of all, I see once more a tall (Ian jar.
This j.r was filled with candy etieks, a goodly sight to see,
And better still to nibble at that joy still stays with me.
8weet peppermint snd wintergreen, hosr-hound and oinusmon,
Vanilla sticks like barbers' poles I lovtd ibetn every one,
Molastes, too, snd chocolate, and tooihtome peanut bar ;
I see them all '-. -jr mud's eye in thst tsll glsse jar.
Life's brought me many pleasures at the year's have slipped sway ;
Far more of sun thsn shsdow, little sighing, much of song,
I've seen tbe sunlight splendor on the loidly hills of Rome,
Had luck in love and business when I've slayed right here st home,
But never felt sn eoetesy as greet as when my ma
Would pass me out a nickel for that till glass jar. -
I'd give ten thousand dollars just to be a boy again
One single day, and paddle, barefoot, in the summer rain;
Just to run my mother's errsnds to thst dingy store,
With glsd snticipslions tingling to my beiog'i core,
No cloud on tbe horison my sheer happiness to mar,
Munching sticks of sttiped candy from that tall glass jar.
SLIPPING AWAY.
They sre slipping swsy those sweet, swift yean,
Like a leaf on the current oast ;
With never t breik in their rapid flow,
We watch them as one by one they go
Into the beautiful past.
As silent and swift ss the wesver'stkresd,
Or an arrow's lying glesm ;
As soft ss the Isoguorous breci hid,
Thst lift the willow's long golden lid,
Aod ripple the glassy stream.
One after another we see them psss,
Down tbe dim lighted stsir ;
We bear the sound of their steady Head
In the steps of the centuries long since dead,
Beautiful and as fsir.
There are only a few years left to love ;
Shell we wsste them in idlestrifs?
Shsll we trsmple under our ruthless feet
Tbose beautiful blossoms, rare aod sweet,
By tbe dusky wsy of life ?

And til up tbe sjessore with love's sweet wine,

I suffered for four months with

I became weak and bit my vital

health. Having hoard Wine of
