to take every gate and fence toward
which the odd pair drove. One day
the little hunter naturally tried to take
a spiked gate while drawing the buck
board and it's iH-mated occupants. She
came down on the iron pickets and,
horribly torn, bled to death. This
stopped the Englishman from driving
hunters, before buckboards. At the
horse show of 1895 he was as much
Of interest as any one of the events on
the card, and visitors went as much
to see "Lord" Talbot fall off his horse
as to see any of the other perform

could do the jumps on his horse, The
Lark, one Of his many purchases from
White Hat Dan. But almost nightly
he was flung over the head of the balky
little mare and buried his aristoeratic
nose in the tanbark. He was a mem
ber of the Burlingame country club
and established a gentleman's coach
ing line between San Francisco and
that place. Everything he did, al
though done in the most serious way, ,
was meant for the humorous writers of
the San Francisco newspapers, who

. Physicians and Suicides.

There are several theories advanced
as to why the members Of the medical
profession are more prone to suicide
than any other. During the last three
years suicides among physicians have
numbered respectively forty-five, fifty
nine and forty-seven per annum, or
about one in 1000. Nearly one-tiftieth
of the deaths in the profession have
been by suicide. Some claim that this
result is caused by morbidness result
ing from association with the sick and
dying, or by an Indifference to death or
from a knowledge how to die painless
ly. A medical journal claims that sui
eide is matter of insane impulse. The
doctor comes in fatigued in mind and
body, depressed in spirits, perhaps
drugs is fatal in his case. II ne mao
to walk to the drug store to OBTAIN
them, perhaps meeting an agreeable
acquaintance on the way, the Impulse
would pass, but with the deadly poison
within reach of his hand the sudden
temptation to avail himself OF Its use
is too strong to be resisted.

Loss of Sleep.

In d paper by Professor H. c. Warren
OF Princeton University there are ac-
curately described some experiments
on the effects produced by loss of sleep,
conducted by Professor Patrick and DR..
Gilber. of the University of Iowa.
These gentlemen tested three norma!
subjects, composed of instructors, men
not easily susceptible to influences.
They were kept awake ninety hours
without stimulants. During this time
they were engaged, as far as possible,
in their usual occupations. After the
second night the first subject COM
planned that the floor was covered with
a greasy looking molecular layer of
rapidly moving particles. They rem
dered him nearly desperate. Some
times. the layer seemed a foot above
the floor, and parallel with it. AS he
tried to step upon it he staggered and
tumbled, could not obtain a sure foot
ing. Later the air became full OF
swarming particles, which developed
into red, purple and black gnats. He
frequently climbed into chair to brush
them away from the gas jet. The ap-
pearance Of all these men was the
same as if an overdose of liquor had
been administered. Those who have
lost their normal rest for several nights
feel a lassitude and depressing interest
in life. They seem to lose an equita-

Living or Dead:

A. young man went to see Madame
Tussaud's famous exhibition of wax
work figures in London. AS soon as
he got in he saw poor, pinched, hun
CRY looking man in corner, and
thinking it was beggar he went near
and put a penny in it's outstretched
hand. From the laughter of the other
visitors he soon found out his mistake
Tie poor beggar was wax figure He
made up his mind not to be taken in
again. He went into the large hall,
and right at the end was the figure OF
a man by itself. When he got close up
to it he stood still to have good look.
Then he walked round it, touched it
and marvelled how wax could be made
so lifelike. Presently there was a
broad grin on the face of this figure,
and the terrified country man hurried
out of the room, saying it was impos-
sible to tell dead people from the liv.
ing, or the living from the dead.

A Floor-Scrubbing Machine.

Machines for the saving of household
labor are many, and are likely to IN
crease now that electricity for motive
power can be brought to our doors. The
latest article in this line is floor
scrubbing machine, which has just
been placed on the British market.
This useful mechanical housemaid will
scrub the floor, collect all the siops and
dirt as fast as they are formed, and
wipe the boards dry into the bargain.
Moreover, this work is done more
thoroughly than by hand; for the use
of the machine allows the water to be
used at a very high temperatures
