Death and sleep are both painless,
according to Dr. Woods Hutchinson
in he American Magazine, and cause
neither fear nor anxiety by their ap
proach. It is one of the moot merci
ful things In nature that the over

which destroy life, whether they are
those of Infectious diseases or those
which are elaborated from the body's
own waste products, act aa narcotics
and abolish consciousness long before
the end comes.

While t sny of tbe processes which

Bought His Own Work.
To come across a bit of ons's owa
work In print Is an experience not or-
dluatily exasperating to aa author;
hut a Washington writer on sclentinc
mature was recently not very agree
ably, surprised by such a development
It appears that the writer waa collect
ing material for a monograph on elec
tro-magnetism, when word cam to
him of a valuable paper on the sub
ject not long before published In a
Berlin iournsl devoted to science.
Thinking that the paper would b of
use to blm in the work In band, he
bad It translated. When the English
version was laid before blm, together
with quite a bill for the translator's
labor, what was the disgust of ths
writer to find that the article waa
nothing more or less than a German
reproduct'on of aa article of bla own
publiahed the year before in an Eng
lish journal. And be had paid twice
aa much for the translation aa b bad
received for the original article!
