Death and Birth Time.

There are great number of curious
superstitions as to the time of day when
dying person is most likely to draw
his last breath, and the tide, moon and
the wind have all been supposed to have
some share in the matter. According to
The British Medical Journal, Raseri,
who has analysed 25, 474 cases of death
and Sc, 5l5 Of birth, where the exact
time of day was noted, finds that the
maximum number of deaths occur in
the early afternoon (2:07 p. n.y., ana
the minimum in the last hours before
midnight, while the maximum number
OF births occur in the early hours of the
morning, and the minimum in the
early hours of the afternoon.
AS regards the cause of this he points
cut the hours Of the maximum number
OF deaths are precisely those when the
pulse rate and the temperature are at
their highest IN health, and when there
is febrile exacerbation in illness.

George Grossmith, comparing Ameri-
can humor with English, says: "a
New York gentleman was once chatting
me about my pronunciation of certain
words, and was very much amused at
it. So I said to him: IT'S our language
you know. We invented it before you
were discovered He was bit abashed
at first. Then he said: That 's so. Well,
I think it's about time you learned to
speak it,
cit is very difficult to score off an
| American, and you can't play prac-
tical joke on one at all. I've often
gone, when I've had friend with me,
into some old city bank, like the Bank
of England, for example-staid old
place, you know. We've marched up to
the counter, and I've said quite calmly
to the old gentleman behind, it, Can t
have brandy and soda and some
sandwiches?' They've always been most
polite and taken it seriously, saying,
I'VE don't keep brandy and soda and
sandwiches here But you have them

SHE TIED UP HIS TONGUE.

An Experiment Which Led to the
Breaking of an Engagement.
don't know why the simple fact of
being in love should deprive people of
the vestige Of common sense with which
nature, never overgenerous with that
rarest Of blessings, has endowed them,
but all my observation tends to confirm
me in the opinion that it does. For ex-
ample, man know is engaged to a
Georgetown girl-that is, he was en-
gagged to her up to q quarter to 10
O'Clock Thursday night, week before
last. He went out to call on her, and
but first I must tell you that she belongs
to Georgia family, and he is from
Boston, and both of the1a are exceeding
~ proud of their birthplace and ances-
try. After few preliminaries, said she
to him:
"Oh, let's hear how fast you can say,
She sells seashells -
So, Of course, he said, "Se shells sea-
sells'' and "She shells sheshells'' and
"She sells shesells, and goodness only
Knows what, till his tongue was SO tan
gled up that his mouth was full of
knots. And she began to laugh, and he
told her to say it herself. Then they
both went at it, and midway of their
sibilant mouthings somebody's temper
began to get frayed at the edges. She
said that Boston people speak abomina-
bly, anyway, and he retorted tn quoque
about the Georgia dialect. From dis
cussion Of speech they came to a discus
sion of manners, and things were said
which it were painful to repeat. The
engagement was broken, as I said, at
9:45 o'clock. It has staid broken ever
since. The rupture bids fair to be per-
manent. And all this misery because

persons happened to be made temporari-

With an. east wind blowing the wa

The we'll is about 60 feet deep. A
few years ago the land on which it is
located was bought by a MI. Watkins,
who, not liking the sounds that came
from the we'll, employed two men to
fill it up. They shoveled dirt into the
we'll two weeks, but it did not affect
the depth of water pereeptibly, and
they threw up the contract. From the
measurements Of the excavations they
had made it has been calculated that

oughly determined he is resigned as to
what will probably happen. There, if
you will watch closely, you will see his
shoulders suddenly become arched (not
in shrug), and when he says he
doesn't care he means it.
A difficulty shat most face readers
experience is that of discriminating be.
tween surprise and the action. Of the
grief muscles, jnasmuch as both cause
the eyebrows to be elevated slightly.
But the fact that surprise always makes
people open their mouths, even when
they are threading a needle, should
help them. The brow, too, is full of
difficulties, for it may be- beetled either
from intellectual effort or melancholy.
Probably in the first case, however, the
eyes will be not quite wide open.
Then laughter should be received
with suspicion, fora person will often
laugh hilariously after coming through
an ordeal that has left him heavy Of
