IT has often been noticed at the be
ginning of January the death is an
nounced Of a number Of prominent men.
The reason is probably found in the
fact. not that great men are more prone
10 die in January than at any other
time of the year. but that the weather
in that month is unsettled. and conse-
quently hard on the constitution alike
of great and humble. Great men are
only human after all, and great man,
physically weakened by hard work OF
disease, Is just as likely % die from a
change Of weather as though he were a
day laborer Tue mortality tables show
that the month of January and the first
month OF exceedingly hot weather in
the summer are more fatal than any
time Of the year, and the great must
take their chances with other people.

UsAGEs of a country having a heredi-
tary nobility are sometimes very curl
GUS. For instance, a pecress by descent,
or creation, retains her title even when
married TO a person having no rank, but
q peeress by marriage, if she becomes a
widow, loses her rank on marrying a
commoner. In other words, lady of
the commoner classes is elevated to the
peerage by marrying n peer, and If she
becomes a widow and remarries, the
second time to eommoner, she volun-
tarily gives up her rank and sinks TO
the class whence she rose.
