HOW IT FEELS TO DIE
EXPERIENCE OF A MAN WHO BE
LIEVES HE WAS "STONE DEAD."
IIll Whole Life Did Nut Flash Before tlUa
as He Sank Into Unconsciousness There
Wu No , Mental Fain Whatever The
Fear of Death Is Fhfsical Dread.
All my life long I have been singularly
lestitute, I believe, of that pbysicul shrink
ing from death which so numy human
beings fuel so acutely. I do not mean to
say I am in any hurry to die; as long as
things go tolerably well with me in the
world I have no insupportable objection to
Jiving, but whenever I stand face to face
with death, as happened to me several
times in the course of my career, I regard
the prospect of annihilation with perfect
equanimity. I can honestly declare that
on all such occasions my own doubts and
fears have been for the safety aud peciini
ry position of the survivors, especially
those more immediately dependent upon
me.
For myself I have never Mb one mo
ment's disquiet. And I attribute this en
tire absence of fear of death to the unusual
fact that I have already tried dying and
found It by no means a painful or terrify
ing experience. I mean w hat I say quite
literally. 1 have not the slightest hesita
tion in asserting that once in my life I
really and truly died died as dead as It i
possible for a human being to die, and that
afterward I was resurrected. I have felt
and know the whole feeling of death not
part of it only, hut the uctuul end of dying.
I did not stop half way. I died and was
done with, aud when I came back to life
again it was no mere case of awakening
from whut is foolishly called "suspended
animation," but a genuine revival, a res
toration of vitality to a man as deud as he
ever can be or will be.
It happened in this wise, and though it
was a good many years since I have still
a most vivid recollection of every moment
of it: I had been skating Ai a hike in a
very cold country. I am intentionally
vague becauso I do not desire to disclose
my personality. The surface was smooth
as glass and perfectly free from snow or
ridges. ut not far from where I was
fkatiug some men had been cutting out
great blocks of ice the day before for sum
mer use.
During the night this open spot of blue
water had frozen over slightly perhaps
an Inch thick. I skated incautiously from
the solid ice on to this thinner piece, and
moving with considerable impetus went
through it at once and was carried on un
der the thicker and firmer ice beyond it.
The first thing I knew was that I found
myself plunged suddenly into ice cold wa
ter, and struggling for my life in skates
and winter clothes against chill and drown
ing. I went down like lead. When I came up
again it was with my head against the
solid ice. If I had had full possession of
my faculties I would have looked about
for the hole by which I broke through and
endeavored to swim under water for it.
But I was numbed with the cold and stun
ned with the suddenness of the unexpected
ducking; so, instead of looking for the
place by which I had got in, 1 tried inef
fectually to break the ice over my head
by bumping and butting against it.
In so doing, I do not doubt, I must have
made matters worse by partially stunning
myself. At any rate I could not break it,
and was soon completely numbed by the
cold. I gasped and swallowed a great deal
of water.
I felt my lungs filling. A moment of
suspense, during which I knew perfectly
well I was drowning, intervened, and then
I died. I was drowned and deod. I knew it
then, and I have never since for a moment
doubted it.
Just before I died, however, I noticed
Vc'liberately nbticed.'for I am pshycholog
ftil by nature that my whole post life did
Mit come up, as I hod been given to under
stand it would, in a single flash before me.
On the contrary, I felt only a sense of cold
and dump and breathlessness, a fierce, wild
I struggle, a horrible choking sensation, and
then all was over.
I was taken out stone dead. Unless ex
treme remedies had been applied I would
have remained stone dead till the present
moment. If nothing more had been done
my body would have undergone no further
change -till decomposition set in. Heart
and lungs had ceased to act. I was truly
dead; there was nothing more that could
happen to nie to make me any deader.
However, a friend who was skating with
me raised the alarm, and I was shortly
after pulled out again, still dead, with r
boathook. They tried artificial respira
tion, brandy, heat all the recognized
means of reviving a corpse after drowning.
After awhile they brought me back. I be
gun to breathe aguin.
If there had been no artificial respiration
I would never have revived again, and my
body would huve undergone dissolution in
due course, without any return of con
sciousness whatever. So far as conscious
ness goes, therefore, I was then and there
dead, and I never expect to be any deader,
-ind the knowledge that I have thus once
experienced in my own person exactly what
death is, and tried it fully, has had a great
deal to do, I think, with my utter physical
indifference to it. I know how it feels, and
though it is momentarily uncomfortable
It isn't half as bad as breaking your arm
or having a tooth drawn.
In fact the actual dying itself, as dying,
is quite painless as painless as fulling
asleep. It is only the previous struggle
the sense of its approach that is at all un
comfortable. Even this is much less un
pleasant than I should have expected be
forehand, and I noted at the time that
there was a total absence of any craven
shrinking the sensation was a mere phys
ical one of gasping and choking. When
ever I have stood within measurable dis
tance of death ever since my feeling has
been the same I have been there already,
and see no cause to dread it. Of course
one might strongly object to a painful end,
on account of its painfuluess, and one
might shrink, and ought to shrink, from
leaving one's family, especially if young or
insufficiently provided for, but death it
self, as death, it seems to me, need have
absolutely no terrors for a sensible ptr-on.-Pall
Mall Budget.

- A "terribly pretty" Boston bride, as
Harvard called her, found when Bhe, with
the huppy groom, was about to depart on
the honeymoon that some wug had decked
the carriage with wedding favors, and it
was literally a mass of white ribbons and

merry shouts of laughter greeted the de

The Builder of Trinity's Organ..
Besides the old organ in Grace church
the Trinity organ was built in this city.
Its builder was Henry Erben. Erben was
a musical prodigy who was apprenticed to
Thomas Hall, one of the old New York
organ builders. When his apprenticeship
expired in 1827 he was taken into the firm,
but in a few years he went Into business
alone with so good a reputation that the
contract for the Trinity organ was given
to blm. In I860 Mr. Erben was still young
and active enough to give the Trinity
organ a thorough overhauling and to make
a number of improvements la It. New

Eome One Else Doe Their Shopping Now.
Two handsomely dressed women entered
a bixth avenue elevated train at the Twen
ty-third street station the other day and
found seats with that air of relief which
betokened extensive shopping.
"Really, my dear," said the elder, "I am
worn out shopping for other people. My
husband's sister lives on a ranch, you
know, and she thinks nothing of asking
me to match worsteds and silks, buy
knicknacks for the house and toys for the
children and birthday presents for the
whole family. I hunted for two days lost
week to find a stuffed toy duck for this baby,
Of course I can't refuse. Poor things,
what can they do, oil there? It's a dread
ful nuisance, bnt some first cousins of my
own in western Ohio are just as bad. They
constantly send me little commissions, and
once or twice, not being altogether pleased
with my efforts, returned the goods at my
expense."
"Let me tell you my experience," said
her companion. "I went through just
such a siege, and finally between my hus
band's relatives and my relatives, and
friends of his and friends of mine, the com
mission business became unendurable, so I
hit on this plan: 1 wrote a letter to each
one of my co-respondents, and told them
I wus trying to raise a fund fortbe mission
school of our church, then much iu debt,
iind that I would gladly do all the shop
ping they desired aud churge them a little
commission on it to go toward my mission
fund."
"What happened f" asked the other vic
tim of absent relatives anxiously.
"Well, two of them replied that my plan
for raising money was novel and excellent,
and that they would send me all the com
missions they could think of."
"Did you make much for the mission?"
"Not a cent."
"What?"
"I have never had a request to shop for
any oire from that day to this." New York
Tribune.
The Tuneful Harp.
Harp playing Is again in vogue. Fashion
able young women are hanging their
baiijoos on the willow tree; they are tak
ing lessons in harp manipulation. The
light nirs of the iustrnmeutso long held
sacred to the negro are forgotten in the
deeper and more diguiiied notes of the
harp. We suspect that the decora
tive qualities of the harp have con
siderable to do with this revival of
that ancient instrument. A harp is a
pretty thing. A curiously carved cabinet
from Venice or nn oddly fashioned table
from France cannot be more effective in a
drawing room.
The harp has a noble ancestry. Skill in
bringing forth music from its chords won
praise and honor iu the day of king David.
Kings and queens have enjoyed its music
through hundreds of years. Its addition
to the orchestra, however, docs not date
back many years. A Chicago musician
has made a study of tho instrument, and
he says its possibilities are not yet fully
understood; that the semitones of the harp
can be regulated with a nicety heretofore
unknown. No doubt Tannhauser and Or
pheus would not recognize the harp if they
were to see it, with the Chicago modifica
tions, standing in a white and gold parlor
and responding to the graceful touch of a
Michigan avenue belle s slender fingers.

Why Chinese I'se No Machinery.
Tho American laundry boasts of steam
washers that wash 100 dozen pieces at a
time, rotating machines to dry, starching
machines to starch and ironing machines
to iron. Many people believe that the
Chinaman does not believe in machinery;
that he scorns its use. But such is not the
case. Chinese lnundrymen cannot get
laundry machinery for either love or
money. Each piece sold is with the solemn
promise tiiat it shall never fall into the
hands of the Chinese competitor.
The American laundry journals and
there are live or six of them keep up the
crusade. The Chinaman is quick enough
to see the advantage improved machinery
would give him, but there is no Chinese
laundry in all this land that has as much
as a starch machine, save one solitary ex
ception, duly chronicled in the laundry
trade papers.
A Chinaman on Nineteenth street, near
Third avenue, Birmingham, Ala., has an
old style collar and cuff iron, the motive
power of which is supplied by an aged but
muscular negro, who industriously turns
the handle, while the almond eyed pro
prietor of the place gazes at the workings
of the gas heated rollers with complacent
pride, for he is the only Chinaman in this
country, so far as known, who has a ma
chine to assist him in his work. Where he
got it is a mystery the laundry papers are
trying to solve. St. Iiouis Post-Dispatch.
Watches Thnt Hun Without Winding.
Keyless watches, now so popular, have
long been known, but have not been in
general use more than a dozen yean. Na
poleon I was the owner of a wonderful
specimen of this species of keyless time
pieces. It was continually kept in running
order by a small weight nt the end of a
lever which worked on a weak spring.
Every step taken caused a small "dog" to
drop into the cogs of a tiny ratchet wheel,
this in turn acting on the barrel to which
the mainspring was attached; ordinary
movements about the house were sufficient
to keep the spring tightly wound up.
In the Kensington museum, Iiondon,
there is a pedometer, operated in a similar
manner, combined with a watch, so that
the one instrument tells tho time and the
distance walked by tho wearer in a day or
any other given time. There Is a watch on
exhibition at the United States patent
office which is wound up by the simple act
of closing the case. It also lias an attach
ment that throws the winding device out
of gear as soon as the Rpring is well wound
up. fat. Louis Republic,
Calling Upon a Friend.
Ilere Is an umusing story of Messrs.
Toole ond Brongh. Having appeared con
jointly in a drama, "Dearer Than Life," in
which they wore very ragged, woe begone
costumes, they visited the well known ar
tists Fradelle & Marshall to be photo
graphed in their rags. While waiting "be
tween the plates" Toole, who is fond of a
lark, suggested to his brother comedian to
sally out and call upon a certain mutual
acquaintance, who would be horribly
Bhocked at receiving visitors In such a
garb. Brough at once assented, and pop
ping on tueir battered hats out into the
street the pair slipped and made for the
house of their friend. Of course the neat
housemaid and the neater Buttous were
horrified, and declined, even without being
asked, to purchase matches or the like.
I axes your pardon," said Toole in an
assumed tone; "you're making a slight
mistake. We want to see your master,"
and he mentioned the gentleman's Chris
tian name and that of his wife.
"We have important business with him."'

"Oh, no, we ain't!" responded Toole with
supreme gravity. "But I'm sorry Wil

rags), "but tell your master that his two

SENATOR STANFORD'S PET PROJECT.
The California University Will Receive
the Bulk of His Fortune.
Senator Stanford's life Interest has set
tled in the university at Palo Alto, Cnl.,
which be built to the memory of his only
son. Its Lick observatory has become fa
mous for possessing the most powerful
telescope in the world. The Califominn
expressed satisfaction at the scientific dis
closures which bod been made possible by
such an instrument.
"Don't you think, senator?" he was
ssked, "that in return foiyour expendi
tures a proper compliment would be paid
iu naming Professor Barnard's moon of
Jupiter after you?"
"No; that moon is too far off to be as
every day practical as I like to be. I should
much prefer to be remembered by my fel
low men as one who spent his wealth
wisely for the benefit of others, and set an
example that other men of means may be
induced to follow it."
To the support of this university all the
Stanford millions will eventually go.
"The demands keep apace with the
work," he safl, "but I am glad of it. It
gives me a chance to carry out those plans
with the success of which I desire that my
name and life work shall be best known.
"I have been impressed with the fact
that of all the young men who come to me
with letters of introduction from friends
in the east the most helpless class are col
lege youug men. They come from those
whom I would like to oblige. They are
prepossessing in appearance and of good
stock.
"But when they seek employment and I
ask them what they can do, all they can
say is 'anything.' They have no definite,
technical knowledge of anything. They
have no specific aim, no definite purpose.
"It is to overcome that condition, to give
education which shall not huve that re
sult, which I hope will be the aim of this
university. Its equipment and fucultyl
desire shall be second to none in the world.
Its capacity to give a practical, not a theo
retical education ought to be accordingly
foremost.
"The buildings were first erected In the
fields, so dormitories were necessary. I
did not expect more than 200 or 300 pupils
at first, although accommodations wero
made for, twice that number. The first
year there were 533 students and now
there are TOO. These I hope will be fitted
for active life.
"I have the greatest faith in the possi
bilities of humanity. I want to make my
life work such that it will teach others
that same faith. God has always been
beneficent, aud no necessary wants of hu
manity have been uusupplied. But the
use of them ought to be directed wisely.
"To the end of teaching this I expect to
spend practically all my property before I
die. Of course there are relatives whom I
shall remember. I do not care to disclose
a number of other public benefactions I
Bhnll make, but the bulk of my estate will
go to the endowment of this practical uni
versity. "It seems to me tho moral duty of every
man to give to the public weal a liberal
portion of his accumulations, and to do it
himself in his lifetime. I'm going to see
if I can't spend my money as well as any-
uouy eise coma do it."-JVew York World.
Teaching Patriotism.
As public opinion is slow to move it may
wen no wortu while to have the principles
of rational, honest nolitics tntinht. in
schools and colleges to a greater extent
mnn is at present done. We hear much
talk in school conventions of "teaching
patriotism." But how Is it to be taught?
The practice of cheering the flag, of learn
ing tho biographies of some of our leading
statesmen, or of learning r.n n.li n7n until-
out knowing why, that our country is the
strongest onu oest on earth, will have little
effect toward remedying our present polit
ical evils.
Civil government is something more
than the written constitution, the names of
the officers, the dates of election and other
such facts as are taught in our text books
on civil government. The civil govern
ment that will help our children to get
ideas which later will be of practical use
in politics is that which shows the princi
ples of party government, the methods of
making nominations, of carrylngelections,
of making appointments to offices, and all
the other details of our political life as it
in fact is managed, together with the facts
of political history and science which show
that, however valuable in carrying single
elections and advancing local iuterests, dis
honest political scheming may be in the
long run the interests of states, as of indi
viduals, ore furthered by honest principles;
that great publlo questions are not set
tled till they uro settled right, because
"the power iu men that makes for right
eousness" is, after all, when men's eyes
are opened, the dominant one. Professor

Extraordinary Insanity.
"One of tho most extraordinary forms of
insanity is a mania for stealing women's

Bloomingdale asylum. "It is distinguished
as a disease by itself, and the Germans

GAUTitl
: To
Washburn-Crosby Co. wish to assure their many
patrons that they will this year hold to their usual
custom of milling STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the
new crop is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the
market, and owing to the excessively dry weather
many millers are of the opinion that it is already
cured, and in proper condition for milling. Washburn-Crosby
Co. will take NO RISKS, and will allow
the new wheat fully three months to mature before
grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling has
placed Washburn-Crosby Co.'s flour far above all
other brands.
