SLOW DEATH.
Disease Usually Takes a Long Time to
Kill, Says a Scientist.
Few indeed are the men and wom-
en of full age, say twenty-five. who
bave not yet contracted the malady
that will kill them, according to that
distinguished scientist and physician
Dr. Felix Regunauit. Normally, as cou-
temporary investigators are beginning
to find out, it takes twenty years for
a fatal malady to kill a patient. It
may take thirty years. The popular
impression is that a man may die sud-
denly or that he may require only a
year to die in or six mouths. To be
sure, a man may be killed or a child
may die in a few months at the uge
of one year. But. ordinarily speaking.
all deaths are very slow, indeed, and
about 95 per cent of civilized adults
are pow stricken with fatal diseases.
They do not know it. ‘They may not
suffer from them. In due time they will
have their cases diagnosed as cancer
or tuberculosis or diabetes, or what
not. But so inveterate are current
misconceptions of the nature of death
that the origin of the fatal malady -
in time—will be miscalculated by from
ten to thirty years.
In the case of human beings death.
barring accident, is nearly always
caused by sowe specific malady. This
malady is as likely as not to be cured
what is called cured. ‘I'he cure, how:
ever, no mutter how skillful the treat

left a wenkuess behind it In some
particular organ of the body. One ol
the organs is, if pot prematurely worn

Didn't Like the Walk.
A porth country pitman went with
his wife one Saturday night to do a
little shopping. They visited a large
drapery establishment, and the obse-
quious shopwalker. having ascertain.
ed their requirements, said to the con-
ple politely, “Will you please walk this
way? But unfortunately he walked
very lame.
“No, mistor,” said the pitwman, “Aa
nivvor hev waaked that way. apn’ Aa'm

“Mis Generosity.
“Yes,” said the tired looking woman,
“I have a very generous husband, and
this Is the way he gets that reputation.
The other day 1 worked and slaved in
the kitchen for about ten hours mak-
ing jelly. It was my first attempt, so
1 had cousiderable trouble and burned
my fingers about seventeen different
times. It turned out pretty good, how-
ever, and of course 1 was proud and
delighted. That night I put some on
the table for dinner, and busband got
enthusiastic.
“Next day he was visiting a sick
friend of his, a man, by the way, quite
able to buy anything he might want
and whose wife never lifts her finger
On leaving Mr. Generous Husband
says: ‘My wife made some pretty good
jelly the other day. You might like
some. I'll send you up half a dozen
jars.
“Now, wouldn't that frost you or
rasp you or whatever they say. Half a
dozen jars! After all my work to hand
that jelly over to a man whose wife Is
too lazy to breathe! I made exactly
eight jars, so we will have one more
unless he has already promised it to
somebody else.”"—New York Press.
Sunshine and Dust.
There is more dust in the places il-
luminated by the sun’s rays than in
those which we call shady. If you
look along a beam of light as it streams
through a window or a chink in the
door you will see innumerable dust
particles dancing about in the light.
You will be told by most persons that
there is just as much dust in the non
illuminated parts of the room as in the
more favored spaces, but you cannot
see the particles because the rays do
not fall directly upon them. You wil!
think that this is eminently plausible,
‘but it is not the case. The sun falling
upon the air creates irregular currents,
light; bence there is more dust where
the sun shines than elsewhere. A cu
rious experience in a museum gave
of this. It was noticed tha
was always more dust on the
ovo exposed to the sunbeams
on those which were never touch
of the great orb, and
this led to an inquiry, with the above
A LOVE TRAGEDY.
Ruskin’s Adoration of the Lovely Rose
La Touche.
In 1858, when Ruskin was in his
fortieth year. he was asked by a friend
to give some lessons iv drawing to a
child named Rose La Touche, whose
pame, indeed. was French. but whose
family were irish. There sprang up
between Ruskin and this young girl a
very charming friendship, which, oi
course, at the time could be notbiug
but a friendship. They wrote each
other letters and exchanged drawings
and then for awhile they did not meet
Ten years passed by before they saw
each other. Meanwhile the child
whom he had remembered a= a biue
eyed. saucy, clever little biond with
ripe red lips and bair like fine spun
gold, had become a very lovely young
woman of nineteen. They resumed
their old acquaintance. but in a very
different way. Though Ruskin was
now pearly fifty. be gave to Rose La
Touche an adoration and a passion
such as he had never felt before. Un
her side she no longer thought of him
as “very ugly,” but was singulariy
drawn to him despite the difference
in their years.
The two met often. They took loug
strolls together in the pleasant fields
of Surrey, and at last Ruskiu begged
ber to make him bappy and to be his
wife. Oddly enough, however, she hes
ftated, wot because he was so uch
older than berself, but because he bad
ceased to be what she regarded as “a
true believer.” Some of the things
that be bad written shocked ber as
being almost atheistic. She was ber
self, underneath all her gaiety of man
ner, a rigid aud uncompromising Prot
estant. Nhe used phrases from the
Bible in ber ordinary talk, and when
she spoke of marriage with John Rus
kin she said that she could not endure
to be “yoked with an unbeliever.”
Yet her heart was torn at the though!
of sending him away, and so for sev
eral years their intimacy continued.
he pleading with ber and striving bard
to make her see that love was ever)
thing. She. on the other band, read
over those passages of the Old Tesin-
ment which seemed to bar all com
promise.
At last, in 1872, when she was twen
ty-four and he was fifty-three. she
gave him her final answer. She would
not marry him unless he could helieve
as she did. His honesty forbade him
to deceive her by a pretended conver
sion, and so they parted, vever to see
each other again. How deeply she was
affected is shown by the fact that she
soon fell ill.
worse until at last it was quite certain
that she could not tive. Then Ruskin
wrote to her nud begged that he mighi
see her. She answered with a note in
which she feebly traced the words:
“You may cone if you can tell we
that you love God more than you love
me."
When Ruskin read this his very soul
was racked with agony, and he cried
out:
“No, no: then | eannot go to her, for
i 1 love her even more than God!"

The Ocean's Age.
The ocean, of course, is not as oid as
the earth, because it could vot be
formed until the surface of the globe
had sufliciently cooled to retain water
upon it, but it seems chimerical to try
to measure the age of the sea. Never
theless Professor Joly undertook the
task, basing his estimate upon the
ratio of the amount of sodium it con-
tains to that annually contributed by
the washing from the continents. He¢
thus reached the conclusion that the
ocean has been in existence between
80,000.000 and 170,000.000 years. This
does not seem a very definite determi
nation, but then in geology estimates
of time in years are extremely difficult
because of the uncertainty of the ele-
ments of the calculation. The most
that can be said for such results ix
that they are probable.
Couldn't Signal It!
During some tactical operations one
of the ships of the squadron had made
some bad blunders, and at length the
admiral completely lost his temper. He
stormed about his gquarterdeck and in-
formed his hearers of his opinion of
the officer in command of the erriug
ship. When he paused for want of
breath Le turned to the signaler and
said to him, “And you can tell him
that, sir!”
The man scratched his head medi
tatively. “1 beg pardon, sir,” he veu-
tured. “but 1 don’t think we have quite
enough flags for your message.”—Lon-
don Answers.
Cannibalism,
Among regular cannibalg the most
varied motives have been found, There
are Indians who are said to eat their
enemies by way of insult and Austra-
llans who consume their deceased par
ents as a mark of affection. Some
tribes devour the dead enemy to abol-
ish him utterly. others to assimilate
his virtues. Africa has revealed canni-
balism of every sort, from the mos!
solemn religious rite to the most pro-
sale gratification of appetite and taste.

Deer a the Crops.
A large berd of deer, nearly four bhun-
dred in pombe, have been roaming over a
dwg gai in ol
ng mes’ crops in
locality. There is no open season for deer
in Iowa, and the penalty for killing one is
a fine of $100 and costs, #o the animals ap-
pear to bave the law on their side.
These deer are not from wild stock hat
and | are the increase of a private herd that was
collected by William Cappy, a wealthy
pioneer farmer living near she town of
Avoca. Upon the death of Cuppy the
estate was divided and the property was
sold in small sections. The deer were for-
gotten, apparently, and, being allowed to
wander as they pleased, gradoally reverted
to the wild state.
