Causes Of Sudden Death.

Very few of the sudden deaths which
are said to arise from diseases of the
heart do really arise from that cause.
To ascertain the real origin of the sudden
deaths, IN experiment was tried and
reported to q scientific congress at Stras.
burg. Sixty-six cases of sudden death
were made the subject of a thorough post
norton examination. In these cases
only two were found who died from
disease of the heart. Nine out of sixty
six had died from apoplexy, while there
were forty-six cases of congestion of the
lungs; that, Is, the lungs were so full of
blood that they could not work, not be.
ing room enough for a sufficient amount
of air to support life. The causes hat
produce congestion of the lungs are
cold feet, tight clothing, costive bowels,
sitting still until chilled, after being
warmed with labor or q rapid walk, 60
ing too suddenly from q close room into
the air, especially after speaking, too
hasty walking, or running to catch q
train, &c. These causes of sudden death
being known, Al avoidance of them
will serve to lengthen many valuable
lives, which would otherwise be lost
under the verdict of heart disease.
This disease is supposed to be inevitable
and incurable; hence many may not
take the pains they would to avoid
sudden death, if they knew it lay in
their power.-NesD York World.

Tact On the Half-shell.

Whatever this subtle attribute may
be called-this happy knack of saying
and doing exactly the best thing that
. be said and done under the cir.
cumstances-it ID certainly = highly val
liable one in every department of life.
A lady of this city recently issued invi-
tations for . dinner party Of twelve, and
on the morning of the appointed day,
when comforting with the head servant, q
very accomplished and well-trained
waiter, she discovered that one of the
twelve silver shells In which scalloped
oysters were to be served had been mis-
placed. Rigid search for the missing
article having proved unavailing, the
lady determined that sooner than give
up that particlar course she would sim-
ply decline oysters when they were
handed her and 20 the eleven shells
would be sufficient. 1t happened that
when the oysters were served at dinner
BY the same accomplished attendant, his
mistress was engaged In = very animated
conversation with one or two of her
neighbour and forgetting her determine.
ton she took one of the shells of oysters
and set It before herself. If the ser.
wants heart fell In CONSERVATION at this
he gave no external aign of it, but speak
ing In tones distinct though low, said re-
spectfully: Excuse me, madam, but
you said l was to remind you that the
doctor forbade you eating oysters" His
mistress laughed and returned the oys-
ters to the waiter, saying in explanation
70 her guests: II Inn 20 absent-minded
that ! have to engage Thomas to remem
Der things for me souetimes," which,
indeed, wa literally true. After the
dinner wa over the story wa told by
the Lady to n Of her guests, from whom
the present writer had it.-Detroa Free

Jining the Elats."

One hot Saturday night when . trans.
pontine melodrama was being performed
ct the Victory Thsater, and "Bravo,
Hicksl" was drowning ever the tremen-
dous voice Of the actor applauded, the
stage carpentry got out of gear. One of
the "fats'' refused to slip along to the
other ''aat" going to meet it, the Dor
ders set up an 0minous tapping, and
there was . great gap in Sir Francis
Nasney's palatial wall, through which
could be seen all sorts of incongruities.
The patience Of the gallery was exem.
plary till q girl there threw an orange at
Hicks head and shouted, in tonesa at
once critical and reproachful. 1--WE
dom expect NO grammar, Hicks, but you
make your fas jine." The sub.
tlety of the remark - . piece of criti-
cism lies, of course, in recognising that.
in all art whore illusion Ii aimed Ut, a.
in drama and narrative, the "jining of
the fats" il more important even than
grammar,

edral In Edinburgh, regarded ~ the
most important Gothic church edifce

since the Reformation, wa completed ON
June z BY placing there with ceremony

delayed. The one now completed ia 1888
feet above the tower, which Is itself 142
feet high, making q total height of 276
feet, which is 81 feet less than the spire
of the new cathedral in this city will be.
It is . Of the most prominent archi-
tectural features in picturesque Edin.
burgh, and can be seen from almost
every point of view in and neal the city.
At the place where the tower ends and
the spiFe begins four inches are intro

alternating with these are many Gothic
windows, with gablets having crosses to
surmOunt them.-MW York Tmes.
