HAS AN AIR OF LEVITY.
BircheT Looks at His Coming Death Very

cody.
WOODSTOCK, Ont, Oct. 31.-Tbe near
approach of the fated 14th Of November
does not seem to have much outward eff
feet on Birchall. He processes to feel less
concern than many of the sentimentaIists
who are troubling themselves about his
fate. He plays leap frog in his cell with
his guard, and thinks it royal sport to
send the guard sprawling on the floor
when the occasion offers. Pitch
ing coppers is another favorite
amusement of his. The arrival of his
spiritual adviser, however, is always the
signal for his adopting an appearance of
so!emnity suitable to the occasion. People
here are shocked at many OF the stories
current ubout Birchall's levity. The
colonel fiction is pretty well exploded.
There is little doubt that the letter was
prepared by Birchall himself, in the hope
that it might create diversion in his
favor at Ottawa. How he got it out of
the jail is not known.
ToBoNTo, Oct. 31.-An affidavit has
been filed asking for the examination of J.
Rex Birchall, now lying under sentence of
death in Woodstock Jail. as a material

count of an alleged msinuation that
Graeme might have had something to do

hand, as she is represented in the pages
of books, but her real and common
aspects inspire them with dismay.
The famous naturalist, the late Rev.
J. G. Wood, about thirty years ago
published little book called Common
Objects Of the Seashore." The work
met with marked success, for hundreds
of people we're astonished and delighted
to learn something about the structure
and habits of various creatures which
they were daily finding in the rock
pools, or lying dead upon the shore.
Soon after the publication of the
book, Mr.. Wood was one day hard at
work among the rock-pools at Margate
He had a mallet and chisel in his hand,
and was wearing his Oldest coat; his
trousers were tucked up to his knees.
just as he was moving from one pool
to another, a small party of fashionably
dressed young ladies approached. They
were studying nature as they sup
posed, for they we're wandering daintily
along the shore. trying to identity some
OF the objects which they saw, by the
help of a copy OF Mr.. Woods Common
Objects
As they passed Mr.. Wood, they
looked up, saw the enthusiastic natur-
alist in his working attire, shrugged
their shoulders, and one OF them muir
mnred: "How very disgustingl"
Then they returned to their book and
TO their dainty study of nature.
Another curious incident, though Of
q different nature, followed the spread
of this fascinating book. A young man
wrote Mr.. Wood from Chicago, saying
that he had read the little work with
much pleasure, but living as he did, at
distance from tho sea, many Of the
animals described we're absolutely un-
known to him. He had the greatest
desire to examine a jelly-fsh. Night

him one by return mail p Youths
