SOME POPULAR ERRORS.

The erroneous idea that the darkest
hour immediately preccdes the dawn
= SO common that it has passed into =

the morning rs it does in the evening.
II would be - correct to speak Of ''the
brightest hour before sunset"
There is no error which prevails moro
widely, even among educated people.
than the belief that man has ono rib
more in his right side than in his Jeff, the
deficienly being supposed to have been
inherited from Adam As . fact. men
and women each have twenty four ribs.
twelve on each side.
One Of the strangest errors is the
delusion that tho so-called changes Of
the moon affect tho weather. This
superstition. handed down from remote
times, is held by the majority, both
educated and otherwise. throughout
the world. It is almost impossible TO
convince . believer of this error, his
answer being invariably to the strong
est arguments: but how about the
tides?" Yet scientists declare that tho
moon has no control or connection with
atmospheric changes
A mistake which is widely believed
by all classes is that If q dead body be

The notion prevails in England and
Scotland that the Irish pronounce the
diphthong ee broadly. In songs and
stories of English manufacture they
are made to say ''swate" for sweet"
''strste" for street." ''chaze" for

This Is altogether wrong. It II the
diphthong q which is pronounced.
Thus speak is 'spake," meat" il

maintain to be correct

QUEER SPECIES OF FRIGHT.


Why Some People Feel n 10p01so - Leap
fro0 high Elsvasioas.
At . great height many persons
would no more think of looking down
upon the surface Of the earth than they
would of thrustiug . hand into bla1-

over them to jump. and this impulse is
stronger when the feet arc close to the
edge Of the roof Of high building.
DR.. Edward Lanning. the American
physician who prscticed his profession
in Paris for ten years, says he has seen
more cases of elevation fright" in tho
French capital than in any other city
he has ever been in.

About two years ago was visited by
. sailor, an Alsatian, who told me that
he experienced the peculiar sensation of
terror when at an elevation, and that
he Was unable to take . berth on any
vessels where his duties would require
him to 60 aloft further than IL or Is
feet from the deck. He consented to

he would not dare venture to the edge
Of the roof unless he had one end of
the rope around his waist and felt that
the other end was securely held. lac

close to the edge IS he pleased.
I'VE were very high-up 1e5 feet,
should say. The sailor walked cauti-
ously toward the caves, and walked
alongside of him. He looked over and
jumped back. and then walked forward
again. I observed that the pupil of his
eye had become dilated. and in . few
minutes the perspiration ran down his
face in streamA His pulse bounded.
and his muscles twitched He stood
quietly without tugging st tho rope.
but told me if he did mot know that he
was being held he certainly could not
resist the desire to leap into space.
He got down on his hands and knees
and tried to become accustomed to
hooking over the roofs edge. but said
be could not He wanted to draw HIM

when he recovered his equanimity.

and said he had tried his best to cure
