DR.. Hale of Chicago, taking as his text
the case of woman who was run over on
the street and killed, because she drew
back after starting to cross ahead of u pair
of horses, says that he is surprised that
more women are not hurt in the same way.
ga woman starts to cross the street." he
says, ''and when she gets one-third or one
half way over she sees team approaching;
the driver in nearly every instance watches
her movements and seeks to drive in be-
hind her. If she keeps on her way, all is
we'll. If she only stands still, she is perfec-
thy safe. But here comes in the strange
and fatal idiosyncracy of her scx. Just as
the driver thinks that he can safely drive
behind her, she stops, starts back few
steps, and, unless the driver is prompt,
and draws his horse back on his launches,
the woman is under his feet, or knocked
down.

HOW A MARRIED WOMAN GOES TIC
SLEEP.

There is an article going the rounds enti-
tied: "IIow the girls go to sleep" The
manner in which they 90 to sleep, accor-
ding to the article, can't hold candle to
the way married woman goes to sleep.
Instead of thinking what she should have
attended to before going to bed, she thinks
of it afterward. While she is revolving
these matters in her mind, and while snugly
tucked up in bed, the old man is scratching
his legs in front of the fire, and wondering
hsw he will pay the next months rent.
Suddenly she says:
'James, did you lock the doorP
(which door," says James.
''The cellar door," says she.
NO." says James.
swell, you better 60 down and lock it,
for heard some person in the back yard
last night"
Accordingly, James paddles down stairs
and locks the door. About the time James
returns and is going to get into bed, she re-
marks:
"Did you shut the stair door,"
"No," says James.
swell, ii 1t is not shut, the cat will get
up in the bedroom"
"Let her come up, them" says James ill
naturally,
"My goodness, no." returns his wife.
"She'd suck the baby's breath"
Then James paddles down stairs again,
door, and curses the cat, and returns to the
bedroom. Just as he begins to climb into
his couch his wife observes:
~ forgot to bring up some water. Sup
pose you bring some up in the big tin"
And so James with muttered curse,
goes down into the dark kitchen and falls
over chair, and rasps all the tinware of
the wall in search OF the ''big tin" and
then Jerks the stair-door open and bowls:
"Where the duce are the matches?"
She gives him minute directions where to
find the matches, aud adds that she would
rather go and get the water herself than
have the neighborhood raised about it. AT
1 Ju ntnI,a
the water, comes up stairs and plunges into
bed.
Presently his wife says:
flames, let's have an understanding
about money matters Now, next week
I've got to pay"
81 don't know what you'll have to pay,
and don't care" shouts James, rs he lurch
es around and jams his face against the
wall; "all want is sleep"
"That's all very well for you," snaps his
wife, as she pulls the covers vciously; "yor
never think of the worry and trouble have
and there's Araminta, who | believe is tax
ing the Measles"
''Let her take EN-" says James.
Herupon she begins to cry softly, but
about the time James is falling into gen
tie doze she punches him in the ribs with
her elbow and says;
"Did you hear that scandal about Mrs.
Joncs9'
"WhaS Jones" says James sleepily.
"Why, Mrs. Jones.,'
"Where?" inquired James.
u declare, says his wife, "you are get
ting more stupid every day. You know
Mrs. Jones that lives at No, 21a Well, day
before yesterday, Susan Smith told Mrs
Thompson that Sam Baker has said that
Mrs. Jones had"
Here she pauses and listens. James IL

through the bars at his head with the
other A lad named Donahue grabbed an
iron bar and tried to make Juno drop
Marvin. The boys efforts only increased
the rage Of the beast. By this time every
animal in the place was wildly excited.
and their roars and cries were heard
squares away. To increase the din the
animals of O>Buen's circus, in an adioin-
ing building, added their voices to the
chorus. Donahue ran out of the building
shouting for help.
AS there is small army of workmen
about the place, the lion house was soon
surrounded with men. In the meantime
Juno had torn the flesh from Marvin's
arm, struck him several wicked blows on
the shoulder, and then allowed him to drop
on the ground and crawl away. just as
the rescuers reached the doors they heard
a sound of crashing timbers, accompanied
by series of blood-freezing roars. Juno
had thrown her body against the bars and
broken through. The approach of night
made the interior of the build
ing dark, and no one cared to
venture in. They heard Juno charg-
ing around fireplace and they hesitated.
They supposed that Marvin was dead. He,
however, managed to reach the rack in
which the heavy iron bars used to clean
the cages are kept, and snatching one,
boldly advanced or Juno, who crouched in
a corner. All this time the other animals
were making the most fearful noise. Above
the din the men at the doors to their as
constituent heard Marvin order the lioness
back to her cage. This treasured them
and they started to enter. AS the doors
opened Juno sprang over Marvin's
head and took refuge in stall
near the blauw books. Marvin shouted
to close the doors and following the now
partially cowed ioness struck her twice
with the iron bar. Then he poked her out,
and with an angry roar she vaulted back
into her cage and the danger was over.
New bars were quickly fitted in and the
cage was made doubly secure by the adj
dition of new iron braces. Marvin's in
juries were attended to by a physician,
who says he viii not lose the use of his
arm. After Juno was Gagged it was no.
ticed that one of the blauw boks was tremb-
ling like a leaf and tears trinkled down the

Gladstone and Beaconsaeta.
[London Lancet.


All who have watched the brilliant "a
reer of Mr.. Gladstone, particularly during
the last twenty years, must be conscious of
the fact that even his excellent 'constitu-
tion"-if we may be permitted to use that
banned but expressive term-has been Of
ten severely tried by the yigor of his brain
and nerve power. To the physiologist who
recognizes the INTERROGATION of those parts
of the being which some try to separate
and speak of part as ''mind" and .'body.n
the study of such lives as those of Mr.. Glad
stone and the late Lord Beaconsfeld COM
paratively with the ideal standard of per-
feet humanity is intensely interesting.
Lord Beaconsfeld had a vigorous, but not
q thoroughly cultured, brain The devel-
opmenL of his cerebral and nervous organ
ism was not, so TO say, general and equal
throughout. He had excellent parts and
extraordinary intellectual fervor, with
strong will and an immense power of self
restraint, but it is no disparagement of the
noble lords physico mental organism to
chronicle the physiological fact that his
brain lacked, and not unfrequently gave
unmistakable evidence of lacking that
high, coherent Development which
is only to be obtained by
pline and culture. He was rather brilliant
than grand as studied from a psychological
standpoint, and it was a physiological
consequence of his brain type that mis- pol
icy was one rather of fineness and dazzling
energy than of persistent growth Of pur-
pose. Mr.. Gladstone, on the otherhand. is
possessed of braia which has been phys
iologlcally developed by training and ex-
ercise commenced in youth and continued
far into adult life, with an intense struggle
for self-improvement by intellectual dis
cipline and industry, and his mind and
nerve power are supported by very con-
siderable amount of sensory and muscular
strength and energy The perils
OF his life have ever been
those of ''overwork'' in its truest sense.
Brain function has frequently outstripped
bodily strength, and if his constitution
weagain dare to use this word for zzz-1t of
better-had been little less strong, if
the recupelative power of the organism as
whole had been only little less consider
able, the right honorable gentleman must
on several occasions, have broken down.
The so-called 'irritability" of tempera-
ment which Mr.. Gladstone has in some of
his most trying sessions been observed to
evince has been the outcome of an over
active rather than week nervous system,
If 1t were possible, the right honorable
gentleman would even now exhaust his re-
serve of nerve force by the energy of his
great intellect at an age when other men
of his calibre have shown symptoms of
waning energy.
