DEATH BY VIOLENCE IT IS PAINLESS, A3 A RULE, BECAUSE OF THE NERVOUS SHOCK. Til.- On-nler On* I.iirn .if IIIimmI, How ever, lln* More Intense Is the Suf- ferinu of the Yietlnt — FITectx of Falls—lli-iiths From Potxnnliifc. It is safe to say that violent death is painless. A person suffering from a great shock feels little or no pain, hut If great loss of lilooil accompanies the ncclilent then eoiulitions are different, unit the death thus resulting is one of Intense pain. I have observed that pain varies Inversely with the shock. The more violent the shock the less the pain, unit, inversely, the less the stuck the greater the pain. In eases where an arm or u leg is cut off liy accident the injured person is apparently only stupefied and does not seem conscious of any pain or agony. When asked how he feels lie usually answers, “Pretty well.” showing that lie does not suffer greatly. In the Interval hi tween the shock of the Injury and death lie is apt t i appear dazed without losing consciousness. If the accident and Injury are more Severe say both limbs or arms are severed then there Is even It more li >- tiei aide aliseiice of sensitiveness lo pain. i m the other h nil. abdominal Injuries are followed lo the mosl excruciating pains. A gunshot wound in the nbdo- mrii leaves Hi injured keenly alive in the aCIlte silli' l'illg which conics with loss of Mood, lie Is nervous, frighten ed. apprehensive and usually moans or cries out In his terror. Even in nigh the wound tuny have linen self In dieted, in it I tit. > I every ease of this kin I the patient cries for relii f and wants to live. The greater the loss of Id I the tnoie Inti'ii c the pain, IT by chatter such a patient recovers alter being at the |mint of death, lie i apt In remember all his sensations following the shot. In eases of nceldeilts lo the arms, limbs or from falls which render the persons lllieiiliselolls, w here they do recover or heroine lucid, they have Ini I'e, nlk-i-l inn of the |.11 ill they Sllll'c ■' d al the time of the accident or anything im mediately preceding the blow or fall. I hud a ease of a very painful mid ITiglllfill accident one day. A man wa ■ brought Into the hospital so mangled tlnii lie scarcely resembled a human being. .\n Iron girder had fallen on him while lie was at work on a hallo lug. II Imd crushed him horribly, ills thighs were broken; his Imck was gush ed mid bruised so that his tlesh fell away in great llaps. The man seemed lo have no |>;iin nl all and no feeling in i bin body, I look hold of the Haps of llesh, lull the injured creature appeared to feel nothing. II is a popular fallacy that those who meet violent deaths lose coiisoloiisness before the shock of the Mow, the fall or the shot comes. In eases of falling from a great height ii is generally he llcvcd tluil the one who Is sent Hying to the earth below dies before striking tile bottom or becomes unconscious of what is happening. That is not true. Unconsciousness does not come until the shock of concussion N felt. If dentil does not result at once, the l.mlti loses all knowledge of wlint Is going on or what happened before It received the Mow. After concussion of the bruin produced by a fall or a Mow the individual seldom remembers anything connected with the accident. Death from poisoning is one of the most violent means of ending life. The taking of carbolic add, which Is the commonest mentis of poisoning, Is noth ing short of horrible. While one might burn one’s linger off with carbolic add and not suffer any great pain, tho effect would bo different If It were taken In ternally. Up to the moment that death comes It Is generally supposed that the pain Is violent and acute. With some of the other poisons, such as strychnine, prussic add, nicotine, etc., the Intensity of tho pain varies with the drug. In the case of strychnine, for example, the person lapses Into u state of oplsthoto- uios, which Is accompanied by violent spasms. The mind remains absolutely clear and keenly alive to the pain till death, which Is said to he nothing short of terrific, comes. Oplsthotomos is u condition where the patient rests In tho bed, or whatever ho Is lying on, on the back of his head and his hods, with tho muscles of the body rigid. This condi tion is on© of the symptoms of strych nine poisoning, as it is of some of the other alkaloids which produce so called tetanic convulsions. Generally speaking, death from burn ing is most painful, but there are occa sions when it is almost Instantaneous.— Alexander It. Johnson, M. 1)., In New York Herald. THWARTED CRIME. A Cartons Tale, the Seenc of Which lx I.niil In India. An Indian up country paper tells n curious tale. A rich Indy, with her two children, both Infants, was going, it is said, in her own "ekkn” from Itatnna- gar to a place in the center of the Bar tract. The driver was a trustworthy servant of the family, and it was for this reason that the Indy had not di vested herself of the ornaments she usually wore. Hut the sight of the Jewels was too much for him, and at un exceptionally lonely spot in that lonely country he suddenly asked his mistress to hand him her valuables, tin her suspecting Ills real designs and hesitating, the miscreant showed him self in his real colors ami made her and her little ones, who could barely toddle about, get down. The horrible thought that was working in his brain, that of hiding Ills crime by means of murder, bad given bis face a sardonic look, which made the poor woman tremble. Then the fiend bound her hand and foot and informed her that he would first kill her children and then do her to death. H.v her earnest entreaties she prevailed over him to begin with her first, lie had an ux in his hand, with which he aimed a blow at her; hut, the head being loose, it (lew away and fell a few paces off, the handle only re- niniliilig in Ills grasp. He stepped into the grass to look for it and disappeared behind a tnouml. She waited her cer tain doom with all her nerves on the strain. She gradually fell into a swoon, and when she came round the first thing she saw was her husband bending over herjiml her Imbies crying and tugging lit her clothes. After she had gone, a nameless un- easlne: s seized her husband. lie could mil reason away his vague fears, try us he would, and at lust ho mounted his horse and followed the “ekka.” He had proceeded but a few miles when the sight of his wife ami children lying hound up with cords upon the ground met liis eyes. And the story that his wife told him congealed his Mood with horror. They both then, drawn by an irrepressible curiosity, went toward the direction that the miscreant had taken to pick up his ax - , and think of their surprise when they saw his corpse nl- ivad.v lying, hint*, putrid and bloated, Hie Hies buzzing over it in clouds. iiot- rililltIon had come ill tile shape of a "kiiriuidln” of the deadly variety known ns ‘’khaki.” rare even in those snake tnfc ted pans, wlmst bite In stantaneously paralyzes the victim and decomposes the body in an hour.—Lon don Globe.

"If the prominence uml Im portance of that optic continue to in crease we shall one day be a left eyed race. In more than half the pntients 1 treat the left eye Is already consider ably larger than the right. It Is bright er and It lasts longer. If you want to find out which eye Is stronger try to read first with one, then with tho other, unassisted by Its mnte. Nine times out of ten that test shows how much more useful the left eye Is than the right. "I devoutly hope that I shall never lose either of my eyes, but if one has to go 1 just as devoutly hope that it will be the right. There was a time when the superstitions and even spe cialists on eyes believed that only left handed people were also left eyed. That theory is now exploded. Over development of the left eye is In danger of becoming a disease, the peculiar ef fects of which are already apparent in many faces.” New York Press.

The summit of the pyramids represents what was at one time the surface of a moraine or debris of a glacier, and upon this were scattered rough bowl ders of stone. Down would come tor rential rains and gradually eat away the hard rod earth except where It was protected by a big stone. In these cases, of course, the rain could do noth ing else than leave a long slender pyra mid; but at last when the stone fell off and the apex of the pyramid was left bare it would be first worn to u point and then gradually eaten down ward by the heavy rains of winter, spring and autumn. Some of the groups of pyramids near Botzen look exactly like mediaeval castles or pow erful and ancient strongholds, with their great crumbling towers, mighty walls and commanding positions on rugged precipices looking down over lovely Talleys.
