ACCIDENTS
Strange Facts Concerning the Occurrence
of AccideuIs.

of Accidents
The collection of large gnoups OF facts
about accidents which mas been made
necessary by the development of accident
insurance has mad a contribution to one
department of social science that Is by no
means uuinteresting. For instances, 1t Is
a curious fact that man Is much more
likely to lose us left hand than his right
hand. or his left eye than his right eye;
statistics show, too, that when man IN
sures himself against accidents he thereby
greatly diminiSheS the risk OF accident
and this is probably explained IN this
way: when a man ; attention Is called to
a danger he fixes his mind on 1t, and
thereby consciously or unconSclouSly makes
unusual effort TO avert 1t. 1t therefore
happens that a man Is more likely to be a
vsctim of an accident of kind that he
never thought OF. than of the kind against
which he insureS himself. A man, for
instance, who hand g. sharp tools Will IN
sure himself against an accident from the
use of them, and the first thing he knows
he will be drawing p y from an insurance
company for an injury done by getting a
cinder in his eye. Not only are such odd
and curious facts as these brought to light
bv the development OF accident insurance,
but a great many important groups OF
facts which bear upon the habits of men
and the development of civilization. For
instance, accidents are much more com
mon in the sparsely settled portions of the
country than in the densely settled
portions, and they happen more frequently
in the middle of winter and the middle Of
summer than in the other seasons of the
year. An interesting study of these facts,
which is perhaps the first study of the kind
ever published, is contributed to The
Forum for September by Mr., James h,
Pitcher

TWO VIEWS OF pEArH,

Oh, how sweetly would rest
With the turf upon my orsSSJ
Lightly laid;
And how calm would be this brow
Which 80 throbs with anguish now,
In deaths shade
Then the wandering breeze would sigh,
As il sadly whispered by,
Round my tomb;
And the silent dews that sleep
On the breast of night would weep
Ger my doom
And the bending grass would wave
Ger my soonforgotten grave.
Ere, h and green.
And the early Wild flowers shed
Fragrance round my lonely bed,
Lowry laid;
With the turf above my AS3d
And the damp earth tor my bed.
Freshly made
GIVE me a drop Of Barley hree,
And sing to me n cheerful song,
Ere | shall close my eyes in death
And sleep among the dusty throng.
You need not mind that CHASTITY one
That shakes his shadowN dart at me,
He cannot >'sike the fatal blow
Till have drank the barely hree!
Another cup another still!
While yet IN on the mortal brink
Another cup tbs the last
That ever l on earth shall drink
Now do your worst, my CHASTITY friend.
Strike, when you will, the fatal blow
For I've no more to do on earth
And am cOntented now to 80.
But, hold what magic change Is this
THAI falls upon my fading slightly
Where stood that CHASTITY goblin grim
now behold damsel bright!
Upon her cheek the rose bud blooms
with living breath her bosom sSells
And on her laughing brow she wears
A wreath of blooming immor,ellesl
One hand she reaches out to me,
The other points far, far away
To where what seems a AIRY land,
Where lilies bloom and fountains play.
Hush-let me hear the stlvery voice
That falls SO SWeetly on mine ear
With smiling face she bids me come,
And nothing shall have 10 fear.
Adieu, my friends, cannot stay
So VIII bid you all good byei
And, as I'm going, | will say
It's Rot-a- r-ful--thiug-- to-die.

A Ripe Old Age.

J. II. Holcomb and wife, of Belcher-
vile, Texas, have celebrated their fifty
fifth wedding anniversary, and are still
hale and hearty. The secret of their
long life and good health is that they
correct any slight ailment promptly,
and in that way avoid serious sickness.
Like most every one else, they are more
frequently troubled with constipation
than any other physical disorder. To
correct this they take st. Patrick's Pills
in preference to any other, because, as
Mr.. Holcomb says, They are mild
pill and, besides, keep the whole system
in good order We prize them very
highly" For sale by c. r. Goethe, w.
