WHEN MOST DEATHS OCCUR.
Old Superstition Upset by the Record Of
600 CasQs.


Old Superstition Upset by the Record Of
$4,000 Cases.
Has death favorite hour during the
"a in which to visit hospital and sick
room and gather in it's victims?
A general opinion is entertained by
medical practitioners and others en-
gagged in caring for the sick that the
greatest number of deaths occurring in
individuals afflicted with disease takes
place during the hours Immediately
succeeding midnight and preceding the
dawn. The rule is said to be particu-
larly true in those suffering from chron-
ic exhausting diseases.
Deductions have been made from
these impressions which have served to
regulate the administration of stimu-
lants in such cases, it being said: IF
six ounces of brandy be needed in "a
hours, four should be administered
from two to six a. m, for then is vital
ity in the human being at its lowest"
and "more deaths occur at these hours
than at any other period"
81 accepted this teaching at college,"
says a medical man, because l had
neither the means nor the time to verify
or disprove it to my own satisfaction.
Yet 1 always doubted the correctness
of the conclusions drawn, and, to settle
the doubt in my mind. since entering on
my duties at the hospital have collect
ed statistics, which / find do not agree
with this generally accepted idea.
"The figures show 81 fewer cases dur
-, CO % 80
than for corresponding IL hours of the
day. Again, from two to six p. m. there
were &C more deaths than from two to
six a. m. The total number of deaths
in the list of acute diseases for the 12
hours from six p. m. to six a. m. is 100
less than for the corresponding period
during the day.
"The hours from two to six a. m. in
this list show SO cases more than for the
corresponding period in the afternoon.
This in nearly 1000 cases is very slight.
'In the chronic cases the greatest
number of deaths at any one hour was
at four p. M, with two at five p. m.
and six a. m. closely following. The
greatest in the acute list was at three
a. M, with II a. m. and II p. m. closely
following.
'The lowest number in the acute list
was at midnight, that hour so dreaded
in the sickroom by attendants, and to
which good deal of superstition at
taches. 1t is noticeable that the num-
Der for this hour is exceedingly low
about half of the average number. In
the chronic cases the lowest number
appears at nine'a. m.
From these $4,000 cases, extending
over period of IL years. it would APP
pear that death occurs seemingly with
out any particular prediction for any
| certain hour, and that the number of
deaths for each hour is very evenly pro-
portioned. considering the large num-
Der of cases taken and the time Gov

westerly direction for the Michigan
woods.
When I was leaving Detroit on the
steamboat I wrapped up $500 in rub
Der band and slowed them away in the
inside pocket of my vest, and l soon
acquired the habit Of touching myself
every time 1 thought of it to see wheth-
er my cash balanced, or, to speak more
accurately, to see whether l still had
the bulge on my vest.
AS soon as 1 found this nervous habit
fastening itself upon me was sorry
that I had not always carried large
sums of money and got used to the SEN
sation, but it was too late for vain re-
grets, and I determined to make the
best of it. But I decided that I would
always in the future have plenty of
money.
It was little too early in the season
for the summer run of schoolma' ams
on the lakes, and there were only few
passengers on board the steamboat.
These were made up mostly of CONNER
cial travellers and fair assortment of
those dusty-booted, slouch-hatted, shod-
dy-clad men who travel on trains and
boats everywhere without any appar-
ent reason or object. There was one
lady on board.
There was also another passenger
a red-headed man with a sinister eye
and a smell of horse about him so pro-
nounced that the lady passenger asked
for "the radish" at dinner, thinking to
avoid hurting his feelings by saying
horse-radish in his presence.
If had not been carrying a wad Of
money into lonely country should
have paid little attention to this ILL
favored person; but was carrying a
wad Of money, and I suspected that he
knew it. For the life of me could not
help pressing that wad with my fingers
every time 1 met him or heard his voice
or smelt horse. / was certain that
he noticed this involuntary action and
that he knew the reason of it, and I
came to believe that he was on the boat
because 1 was, and that he would get
off when did.
He did get off when / did, at IL
o'clock ct night, on the lonely dock in
the town of Gravelton, and no one left
the boat there but us two. saw him
disappear in the darkness when took
my seat in the hotel bus.

It's authentic record is older than Paris

those large, cheaply-built houses which
one will find in all the numbering towns
of the west where land is cheap and
pine is cheap, and regular boarders are
cheap and numerous, but my room was
clean enough and reasonably secure.
The window had no fastenings, but the
sash had swelled, and the easement
held it in grip which all my strength
could not loosen. The door was pro-
vided with bolt and lock, and the
transom was too narrow to admit the
body of man. I felt pretty secure,
but was made nervous by the fact that
the curtain failed to cover the lower
part of the window. I was morally
certain that my ugly fellow-traveler
stood outside in the darkness, watching
me with hungry eyes.
I did not feel sleepy enough to go to
bed, neither did find it particularly
cheerful to sit in the one little wooden
chair which the room afforded and gaze
at the cheap wall paper covering the
pine partition, or the "skied" picture
of flaming red, long tailed bird OF
paradise, with his head set backward
on his neck. My books were in my
trunk. and there was nothing at hand
to read except an old newspaper, which
was doing duty as cover to the wash
stand.

PAPER BOTTLES IN USE.

Said to Be as Good as Glass in All
Respects and Far More Durable.
Some years ago there was started in
this city company for the manufacture
of paper bottles. 1t was not the sue
cess that its promoters intended it to
be. There was great difficulty in getting
the right foothold. 1t was pointed out
that paper was being used very ex-
tensively in the manufacture of car
wheels, rowing shells, wash basins and
a half-dozen branches of the decorative
art, but nobody would believe that the
bottle scheme would possibly succeed,
and there the matter was dropped as
far as outside capital was concerned.
Since that time another company has
managed to push forward the idea with
some degree of prosperity. Now an
other company is about to be formed
and it will have to be a success, because
there is too much money behind the
concern to make it otherwise.
This manager was asked what paper
bottles were available for, and he an
swered quite promptly, if not altogether
sarcastically:
Everything that glass is used for"
Then he added: 1--WE are now negotiat-
ing for the purchase of some of the
finest machinery to be found in
newly established shop. We have this
to claim for our bottle. 1t cannot be
broken unless with unnecessary force.
That is just where the saving is to come
in. No more leakage or breakage, and

consumer but the merchant as well.
We intend to make big bid for the
foreign trade. The wine merchants of
Europe lose an immense sum annually
through breakage in ships hold or
otherwise. No matter where the glass
bottles break, they are broken, and
the loss is just as great all around. We
can make paper bottle for about one
half the cost of glass bottles, and, in
addition. they will be found perfectly
watertight, as well as alright. We
have made innumerable experiments,
and in all of them we found that, while
it was comparatively easy to make
papier-mache alright around wine.
it was not SO easy to do so in the case
of beer. Why this is so the brewers
may explain. But we have overcome
that difficulty, too. Another point that
should be remembered in the manu-
facture of paper bottles is that there
is little danger of freezing. Still an
other is that in packing them away
absolutely no straw, waste or such is
required, and the absence of these
means large saving in space. In the
next few years you will find paper
