Oortlir's I.aat Momenta. The story of the deathbed of Goethe reveals a striking picture of fortitude, artistic: calm and Intellectual activity under the chilling dews of death The Information Is gathered from a letter written on Mnrcli 23, 1H32, the day aft er Goethe's death, by Frnulelu Louise Soldier, an art student and close friend of the poet's family. Ou the evening before Ills dissolution, with an ley coldness taking possession of him and the death rattle beginning to be audible, Goethe, with his chnrralng dnughtor-ln-luw by his side, would talk of nothing but Ills pet theory of color, of the treaty of Basle, of his desire that the children should go to the tliea- t< r, of Ills plans for the nenr future.

The town of Funchal, In the Ma-. deira Islands, Is a town with no horses and no wheeled vehicles. In traveling about one either drives In a sledge or Is carried In a hammock. The streets aud adjacent ronds are paved with small and curiously smooth cobble stones, nnd from the first It was found thnt runners were better than wheels both for speed nnd comfort. For In stance, when you come to n hill the oxen draw your sliM^to the top nnd are then unhitched. Your driver then proceeds to toboggan your conveyance gently down the other side, while the team trots on behind. Horses are not nvnllable In Funchal, ns the nature of the cobblestone roads would soon ruin their feet. This Is why the ox, with his flexible hoof. Is the draft animal of Funchal. For expeditions Into the country the hammock Is uso^ This Is siting on a pole, carried on the shoul ders of two men, and Is perhaps the most comfortable conveyance in the world—no Jar and no need to guide It.
