Premature hateTment-.Almost.-A startling
case of narrow escape from perishing by premature

"Monsieur Rachteorun, "a veteran of 1914 IL. and
lately collector of accounts for the Office Of The

he Coroner was called in. who, on seeing the

| necessary to hold an inquest on him. His friends
watched over the corpse all night AID the succeed

called in to perform over the deceased or such up
to that time, he believed to beg the last rites Of
the Catholic religion. While performing these, the
body being in coffin, it showed evident signs Of

his behalf, but no hopes were entertained Of his
recovery.
Mr.. PAcK1NGHAM, the British Envoy at Wash

in looking at work called the " Lives OF the Pre-
sidents," with few curious condolences Of num-
bers which relate to the line of five Presidents, be-
ginning and ending with an Adams. Here is ia
BILE, for instance of the periods in which they were

1735 John Adams 1901 .
1743 Thomas Jefferson 1909
ISL James Madison 1917
| 1859 James Monroe 1928
| 1869 J. Quincy Adams 1929 -
Now it will be seen by this that Jefferson was
born just eight years after his predecessor Adams
Madison eight years after his predecessor Jeffer-
| son; Monroe eight years after Madison, and John
Quincy Adams eight years after Monroe. Another
curious fact to be observed is that Adams was Just
sxty-s!x years old when he retired; Jefferson was
sxty-six; Madison was sixty-six; Monroe was
sixty -six. and John Quincy Adams. had he been
| elected to a second term, would have been sixty
six. Adams, Jefferson and Monroe, all died on the
