DEATH.
There Is Something
Blinding in the
Death.
Fascinating,
Thought ot
We call the monks of old morbid
who were obsessed by it, wrote
"Remember Death !" upon their,
cell walls, and had skulls among
their daily furniture; and, perhaps,
they were morbid, and, perhaps,
the idea of death is loo strong a
liquor for use in the moi ning; but,
for all that, there is something in
death that makes men great, un
seals the wells of poeiry,and smells
of eternal youth.
How was it that Wagner could
find no fit climax for the 1
mighty loves of Tristian and Isolde 1
except in death? Why do the
murders of Socrates, Joan of Arc j
and Lincoln place these personal-1
ities among the constellations of j
our esteem ? Why is there noth-1
ing so apotheosizing a man can do ;
as to die? And why does the j
death of Jesus lift His life and
teachings into such thunderous
power and authority?
livery least act of living we per-1
form gets its pathos and beauty of
death that flows around it. The
kiss is the sweetest that may be the
last. The parting is made lender
by the ever-lurking possibility that
it may be forever !
"Unsuspected," writes Alexan
der Smith, "this i.lci' of death lurks
in ihe swetteM music; it has some
thing to do w ith the pleasures with
which we behold the vapors of
I morning; it comes between the
passionate lips ol lovers; it lives in
ihe thrill of kisses."
A ray of death makes the most
commonplace thing shine. A pho
tograph of the living is nothing,
but of the dead how strangely in
teresting. An old shoe, a glove,
a hat, if it belong to one of the si
lent forever, takes on new signifi
cance. An (irdiii-iry merry-making may
he vulgar, even offensive, hut be-
j comes at once tragic and sublime
I when
! As if beckoned by an unseen hand
j The man whose laugh i- hauls in
i his cups
1 Kises with a wild tncc, and goes
away
I ruin iiiirih into a shruiid, iilnuil
a wot d.
All about hie play
be mis o" death. All
actual is the halo ol
the i u vti ic
around the
the infinite
mystery.
It is folly to laugh at death or de
fy it. It is cowardly to evade
it. It is sickly and mistaken to be
depressed by it. But to be ever
subtly conscious of it, and to draw
front that consciousness a feeling
of awe, of dignity, and of infinite
beauty, that is wisdom.
NOT I.
A truly eloquent parson had
been preaching tor an hour or so
on the immortality ot ilie soul
' Looking at the m.itt; t.un--,
declaimed, "and :ou..t n (
thinking: "He.mii'u! as y-.n
you will be destroyed, wli.ie
soul will not." I gazi d upon
occa.i and cried: "Mighty ;.s

HEN HAS MONK'S FACE.
Her Mother Was Scared by An
Organ Grinder's Pet.
Moritz Adler has a country home !
and farm near Deal, N. J. He al- j
so has a Plymouth Rock chicken. ;
He gave her a place in the back j
yard of the home, with a dry goods ;
box for a coop.
Though perfectly normal in ev
ery other way, Hose-that's hir
name -has the shrewd face of a
monkty. She drinks soup from a
spoon held in the hand of iter
nurse, Having no beak, she does
not peck at meat scraps, after the
manner of fowl, but picks them up
daintily with her strawberry luted
lips.
The facial expression of Rose Is
quant. She has a rather set ex
pression at the corners of her
mouth, indicating firmness of char
acter. Her nose is well defined.
Rising from her raiher broad fore
head is a pompadour of feathers in
the style that young girls affected
with their hair a year ago, when
Rose was a smooth, white egg in
stead of a remarkable chicken, j
The general contour of her face j
is somewhat like that of Susie, i
the funny little orang-outang from
Borneo who delights children at
the Bronx Zoo. Her happy black
eyes light up wonderfully when
she sees cracked corn or oatmeal
nuisli.
"She was born a year ago,"
said Adler. I knew her mother
well. She was a fine old fussy
Plymouth Rock hen, who stuck
steadily m the business of scratch
ing gravel and producing eggs.
She wasn't quite as progressive as
some of the more flashy brown
leghorn and Indian game young
ladies of the barnyard. She did
not take kindly to new fangled
ideas like woman's rights. Noth
ing made her so mad as to see
some other hen strtiiiing around
and clucking about warning a vote.
"An Ilaliait onun Pt-inili-r nassi-.l

quite a fright. The old lady
appeared and three weeks a

ward I found her neM under the

cliieks had ju:.l halt lied mil. The
remaining egg was cracked, and
something inside was peeping sad- .
ly. All the oilier chicks h.ul peek- ,
ed their way out with their bills, !
but this one w as trying to get out
and couldn't.
" T broke the shell, and then I
saw why it didn't have any beak. ;
And that's the way Rose came into
the world. Because she was a
freak the head farmer's wife look 1
an interest in her, and educated
her, till now she is a lady, all
through. She talks all the time '
her mouth is never still and that's
what makes me think she stands
prenaturally by the suffragettes of
the barnyard. But there's no way
to tell." New York World.
