GOOD USE OF A FLAG.-In Havana
there was one evening great row in
the streets, and a man was killed.
Every one ran away except an En-
glishman, who did not see why he
should run of, but stopped to do what
be could for the wounded man. The
city was then, as it often was, under
martial law, and in few minutes q
party of soldiers came up and walked
the Englishman of. He was tried
then and there by a sort of drumhead
court martial, and condemned to be
shot the next morning at 8 o'clock.
He managed to get the news con-
veyed to the English consul, and at
seven forty-five o'clock next morning
the consul appeared in his coach-and-
four, uniform, cooked hat, and sword,
all his orders on, etc. The shooting
party were drawn out, and the prison
er was there, too. The consul walked
up to the officer commanding the party
and demanded the life of his country
man.
Every sorry" said the officer, ''but
I must carry out my orders" And he
showed the warrant signed by the
governor.
"Well," said the consul, cat least
you will allow me to shake hands
with him before he dies?"
II can't refuse that" was the reply.
On which the consul stepped up to the
Englishman, put his hand into his
breast-coat pocket, drew out a union
jack, unfolded it, threw it over the
man, and then said, "There, now, fire
if you dare !" The lieutenant was
staggered, the matter was referred to
the governor, and the Englishman
was saved.

In the 49th registration report of
Massachusetts uS0W tie compiler pre-
SCENTS the statistic of 203 persons who
were reported as having died during the
years QSs1-90) at the age of one hun
dred and over. OF this number 1853, or
15-4 per cent, were females. BY the
State census ofISS5, the number of fe-
males living over eighty years Of age
was nearly double that OF males. The
greater exposure OF men to accidents,
to weather agencies, to the constant
strain OF business life, to the anxiety Of
providing for the family, all tend to
shorten the life OF men. The deaths by
accident among men are more than
threefold greater than among women,
and men commit suicide in about a
three-foid ratio as compared with wo-
