We know man who is quite par
ticular about keeping everything in
its proper place. We heard him say
that he acquired this habit through
the training OF his mother. When u
boy even. as far back as he conld re-
member, his mother always made him
pick up and put away his playthings
after he had got through with them.
lie was often allowed to get ont all
the materials he wanted for a good
time. In bad weather tho kitchen
was oftcn at the disposal Of himself
and brother. but they always under.
stood that everything was to be cleared
up at the close OF the play. No doubt
there is difference in children, Tor
we have known boys OF the same
family, Of nearly the same age,
brought up in all respects as nearly
alike as possible, yet one of them
was always careless, and became q
careless, easy man. while the other
was extremely particular 10 all the
details Of his dress, sports, and work.
Still, granting this difference. which
many would call natural difference.
we believe persistent training in
early childhood wonld make an orderly
man out Of the most careless child.

The Human Race.

A statistician in England, in study.
ling generation OF 4 million Of peo.
lple from birth to death, finds that ono
fourth Of them die before they reach
five years; less than onetwcnty
eighth between five and ten years; ia
the next five years the mortality il
lower than at any period; in the next
i've years an increase, especially
among women-the influence Of dan
|gerons occupations begins to be seen
lin the death rate. Eight times as
many men as womep die violent
deaths.
This is Lerceptible for 90 years.
Consumption is prevalent, and &C.
counts Tor one half Of the deaths from
|20 to 35. From ,35 to As the eficc,
lot the wear and tear OF the system is
|seen. At 45 the million is lessened
TO 421, ,115-the death rate increasing
rapidly. About one-sixth OF the mil
lion Is left at IS; at IS only 3S,565
ARE lett, and at 100, 2O2 are lett. A.
I53 men and women surviving are
about equal 10 number, and from 55
onward the women exceed the men.

1t sometimes happens that a law
is applied to cases very different from
those which its trainers had in view.
A good illustration Of this is reported
from Tennessee. An act OF the Legis-
lature, passed at the session Of 1869
20, provided that if any person or
persons, disguised or in mask, by day
or by night, it should be considered
|prima facie evidence that his Or their
intention was to commit . felony.
This statats ~aH avowedly enacted 70
|rsprsss the Kn.Klux ontrages theo so
common 10 the State; but the Supreme
Court has recently felt obliged to hold
that ;ts severe penalties could properly
be imposed upon person who had
gone upon the complsinant's premises
in Disguise in order to steal chickens
thereirom. Thus the heavy punish
|ment primarily designed for the Kn-
klnx klan ultimately falls upon
chicken thieves.

I shawl and the little round hat will
the red-bird's wing in front, anC
slipped her arm through that OF bel
cousin.
"Rosamond," said Sir Walter
Morton, after they had walked
little way in silence, "the exhibi'
ton closes tomorrow"
"Yes," she said regretfully.
"And with it closes your work 2
"Yes, l wish l could hear Of
some new engagement"
Morton drew her arm closer In
his.
II know of one, Rosamond, but
l don't exactly know whether it
would suit YOU"
"What is it I"
81 want to engage You, Rosa
mond--to be my wife"
Mrs. Clifford had looked at the
clock half a dozen times, true to
her instinct of always worrying
about something, before Rosamond
came back.
"Child - she croaked, "do you
see what time it is Where is Mr..
Walters 7"
"He would not come in. He is
coming to see you tomorrow, NAM
MAJ
"To see me! What for"
Mamma, he asked me to marry
him."
"He is a most gentlemanly per-
son, my DEAR" said Mrs. Clifford,
smiling and bridling. 81 shall con-
sent with the greatest of pleasure"
"You like him, then, mamma T.
"Certainly | do"
"Then, mamma, | may venture
to tell you that he is our cousin,
Walter Morton; that | shall be
the mistress of Morton place, and
that you will reign, in the very
truth, in the halls of our ancestors
you have spoken about so often"
And she laughed and she cried,
both in one breath, upon the old
lady's neck.
"Bless my soul !" said Mrs. Gift
ford, dropping her spectacle case
and cracking the lens right across.
But she made no objections to
the "fend in human shape" and
Miss Rosamond Clifford soon took
to herself another "local habitation
and a name!"

cal a moment say that after one
instant of pain the chief sensation
is that of q mass Of brilliant colors
filling the eye-balls, The Quarter
ly Review (vol. xxxv.) treating on
this matter says: San acquaint-
ance of Lord Bacon, who meant To
hang himself partially, lost his foot
ing and was cut down at the last
extremity, having nearly paid for
his curiosity with his life. He de-
clared that he felt no pain, and
his only sensations were of fire
before his eyes, which chang
ell first to black and then to
sky blue. These colors are even
source of pleasure. A Captain
Montagnac, who was executed in
France during the religious wars,
but was rescued from the gibbet at
the lUltTCtSSlOI VI hui obai uiSb-
ne, complained that having lost all
pain in an instant, he had been
taken from light the charm
of which defied description.
Another criminal who had escaped
through the breaking of the halter,
said that after second or two of
suffering, a light appeared and
across it a beautiful avenue of
trees" All agree that the uneasi-
ness is quite momentary, that a
pleasurable feeling Immediately sue
ceeds, that colors of various hues
start up before the eyes, and hav-
ing been gazed for limited space
the rest is oblivion. The mind
averted from the reality of the
fact, is engaged in scenes the most
remote from that which fills the
eye of the spectator.
