CAUSES OF SUDDEN DEATH.-Nery few Of the
sudden deaths which are said t. arise from
diseases of the heart do really arise from
that cause. 10 ascertain the real origin of
sudden deaths, an experiment has been
tried in Europe, and reported to a scientific
congress held at Strasburg. Sixty-six
cases of sudden death were made the SUD
.ject of a thorough post m0rte01 examination
in these cases onl y two were found who had
died from diseases Of the heart. Nine ont
of the sixty-six had died of apoplexy, while
there were forty-six cases of congestion of
the lungs-that is, the lungs were So full of
blood they could not work. there not being
room enough for a sufficient quantity Of air
to enter to support life. The causes that
produce congestion of the lungs are-cold
feet, tight clothing, costivc bowels, sitting
| still until chilled after being warmed with
labor or a rapid walk, going too suddenly
| from a close heated room into the cold air,
/ especially after speaking and sudden de-
pressing news operating on the blood
/ These causes of sudden death being known
an avoidance of them may serve to length,
en- many valuable lives, which would other
wise be lost under the verdict of heart com
plant. The disease is supposed to be in
tevitable hence many may not take thC
! pains they would to avoid sudden death il
they knew it lay in their power.

A CHINESE TRIAL-I heard to-day a curl
ons case that lately came to the knowledge
of Mr. Milen, as having occurred III Pekin
A man caught his wife and a paramour to-
gether unawares, and killed them both. He
then took their heads to the district magiS-
trate, and announced himself as their muir
derer, stating the circumstances under which
he had been led to perpetrate the deed. \
singular hydrostatic test was then adopted,
with the view of enabling the magistrate
to decide az to whether the man spoke the
truth. and was, therefore, justified in what
he had done The heads were placed in a
tub of water, and both made to spin round
at the same moment the decision depend,
ing on the manner in which they were pla-
ced whed they became still. They stop
ped face to face and this was considered
satisfactory proof that the men was right
Had the heads ceased spinning round with
faces averted, the case would have been
given against him, and his own life forfeit

ses, is rather a hazardous experiment for

Then she stopped and asked questions Of

AN amazed little herd sitting ebehind "a

dashed off to the rescue with all the might

his object being to seize her in his strong

Evelecn turned her head and saw him
One wild ringing cry Of hate and horror,
which startled the very eagles and scatter

from her lips. A step backward brought
her within a foot Of death
One desperate though wary stride, and
she was struggling in Coll's embrace One
glance i'll her eyes, and he saw that he
was striving with mad woman. Back,
