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 sudden deaths, an experiment was
tried and reported to n scientific con.
gress at Strasburg. Sixty-six cases
of sudden death were made the sub
ject of thorough post-mortem ex-
animation; in these cases only two
were found who died from disease of
the heart, Nine out Of sixty-slx
had died from apoplexy, while there
were forty-six cases Of congestion of
the lungs-that is, the lungs were Sd
full of blood they could not work, not
being room enough for n sufficient
quantity of air to enter to support
life. The causes that produce con-
gestion of the lungs are-cold feet,
tight clothing; costive bowels, sitting
still until chilled after being warm,
ed with labor or rapid walk, going
too suddenly from close room into
the air, especially after speaking, too
hqsty walking, or running to catch
a train, &c. These causes of sudden.
death being known, an avoidance of
them may serve to lengthen many
valuable lives, which would other.
wise be lost under the verdict of
heart complaint. That disease is
supposed IL inevitable and incurable;
hence many may not take the pains
they would to avoid sudden death,
if they knew it lay in their power.

Jappanese Children.

0fthe many peculiarities Of the
japanese, there is none,which is more
prominently marked, and which
sooner attracts the notice of the cas-
ual visitor, than their treatment Of
their children, and the position in
society which children hold among
them. To superficial observer their

good: 10 g Child ID Japan nothing
isdenicd- a child'squestion receives
q ready answer from the most taci-
turn, q child's request is generally
granted by the most churlish. That
this excessive love Of children has
been a means of maintaining the
low social position of women; notion
ly in japan, but in other Eastern
countries, is only too probable. 1t is
no very uncommon thing for a Jap
anese to beat his wife because their
child has fallen down and hurt itself
she ought to have taken better care
afshe child. Ahd hehce> the Japa.
nese woman has but two functions
in the .eyes of her lord,-to bring
children. into the world, and to nurse
them and wait on them when they
come. Nor does the child himself
really profit by his position as the
center Of The. family group. Far too
much looked after ana not enough
left to development of resources with
inhimself, ,withastyle Of dress which,
though comfortable enough for babies,
is cumbersome in the extreme for any
really active amusement, the Japa-
nese boy learns soon to dislike exer.
tion, andi,the body, Growing crooked
in all its parts, becomes the fit abode
for the crooked mind. Out of this
grows the japanese petty tyrant,
than which there is perhaps no more
disagrecable variety of the human
pecics,-intensely ignorant, of abso.

rate of tithing was one-tenth Of what
one Of the laity earned or produced
annually. Now there..are more than
one hundred thousand persons with.
in its membership, great percent
age of whom are subject to the tith-

formerly, one,tenth. There are
many persons inand about this city
who pay an annual tithing tax to the
Church of more than $1,000; in other
portions of the territory there are
many others who pay annually more
than 81, 900 tithing. There are few
Mormons in Utah wo do not, either
directlyor indirectly, pay something.

"Please send me two tailors'gooses."
Nosliking the grammar, and fear

laugh at him, he destroyed that or

"Ploase send me two tailor's geese"
After the letter was sealed he was
troubled in his mind lest they should

chased from some tailor, when he
took the document from the postof-
fee, destroyed it, and for two days
thought of nothing except how to
word his order SO it could be under

At last he gave up in despair and
wrote.

The rat shower in Norway was an
extraordinary one; thousands of rats
were taking their ANNUAL excursion
from a hilly region 10 the lowlands,
when whirlwind took them up and
deposited them in q field at some dis.
tance; doubtless much to the astonish-
