DEATH COMES PAINLESSLY.

A SCIENTIFIC OPINION THAT WILL RE-CONSOL

ING TO ALL HUMANITY.

The algas of impending death nie many and variable. No two instances are precisely Iden. tical, yet neveral signs are common to many caies. Shakespeare, who observed everything elte, observed and recorded some of the pre- monitory signs of "death also. In the account of the death of Falstaff the sharpness of the nore, the coldness of the feet, gradually extend- ing upward, the picking, at the bedclothes, are accurately described,

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, FRIDAY, MARCH 6, 1891.

So far an "him and me", is concerned, the grammars are all "made foolish " anyway, in much more liberal and more sensible than we fasining upon "he nod 1." The French are

are in this respect. They say "him and her," or "him and me," without the slightest hesitation, and do not seem to think they are committing a mortal sin either. By the twenty-second century. when the world will have learned more sense, we shall be able to shake off the galling fet:ers of" he and I," and when we answer to an in- quiry of "Who's there ?" "It's me," not blush fer shame at our error.

which is peculiar to class. Sporting men,

There is one of the mistakes noted, though, TAILORS,- that is, men who are in the babit of betting, as a rule always say "win" for "won," while do other class does. A man who be's on races as a profession almost always says "I win" ko much, meaning "I won"that is, unless he has lost, which is sometimes the case. Why the mistake is made and why it is a class mistake is one of the mysteries.

After all, it makes but little difference whether god or bad English be spoken, except to the critics, whose occupation would be gone were no mistakes to be made. Good grammar and good spelling are mera refinements of an artificial slate of society. They rank with starched shirt- fronts and polished boots. We expect thera because we are accustomed to them, but in themselves they have no quality of saving grace.

On the night after the battle of Waterloo, in the blood-stained mire of a ploughed Bell, lay an English officer, dead where he fell. At his side lay the body of his wife, who had followed him from England, and perhaps arrived in time to receive his last sigh. On his breast was their baby, sound salep, and smiling dreadful scene as though angels were Inspiring its dreams.

For some time before death indications of approach become apparent, Speech grows thick and labored, the hands, if raised, fall instantly, the respiration is difficult, the heart loses its power to propel the blood to the extremities, which consequently become cold, a clammy 'mol ure vezes through the pores of the skin. the voice grows weak and husky or piping, and the eyes begin to lose their lustre. In death at old age there is a gradual dulling of all the bodily senses and of many of the mental faculties, memory fails, judgment waves, and imagination gors out like a candle. The muscles of the tabernacle are loosening. Small neises irritate, sight becomes dim, nutrition goes wa feebly digestion is impaired, the secretions aro Insufficient or vitiated or cease, capillary circula- THE BABY' ON A BATTLEFIELD. tion in clogged. Finally the central organ of the circulation comes to a stop, a full stop, and this stappage menna a dixsolation. This is the death of old age, which few attain to,

Many people have,

the Medical Fournal, "an'idea that death is necessarily painful, even agon'zing; but there is no reason whatever to appose that death is more painful than birth. It is because in a certain proportion of cases dissolution is acconstat panied by a visible spasm and distoration of the countenance that the idea exists, but it is nearly as certain as anything can be that thesc distortions of the facial muscles are not only painless but, take place unconsciously, In many instances, ton, à comatose or semi- comatose state supervenes, and it is altogether probable that more or less complete unconscious- aess then prevails. We have, too, abundant evidence of people who have brea nearly drawn ed and resuscitated, and they all agree in the statement that after a low moments of painful struggling, fear and anxiety pass away and a rate of tranquility sucréels. They are the vision of green fields, and in some crans, hear pleasing music, and, so far from heing miserable, their sensations are delightful, But where attempts at resuscitation are succy ful the re-uschated persone almost invariably protest against being brought back to life, and declare that resuscitation is accompanied by physicial pain and acute mental misery.

Death is a fict which every man must per sonally experience, and consequently is of universal Interest; and as, facts are facts, the wiser course is to look them squarely in the face, for necessity is carl black and death keeps no calendar.
