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, cases of death
and So, 515 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. m.), 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
out 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 a febrile exacerbation in illness.

A SINGING WELL


One OF Natures Pushes Thaf II Lo-
Gated In Texas.
About three miles west Of Cedar
Bayou, Harris county, Tex, is re-
variable we'll. When it was dug, 40
one can tell, hut it has been in exist
ence for more than so years. The we'll
Is known as the singing we'll. =
In calm, fine weather sound like
that of an Eolian harp comes upward
between the. tangles of vines below.
At times the sound seems nearer
and clearer. Then again it recedes, as
# far away, and reaches the ear very
family. These changes take place every
few minutes. and with great regularity.
With an east wind blowing the wa
ter IN the we'll gets very low and the
my sterjous musical sound very faint. A
strong west wind causes the water to
rise and the sound to increase in volume
and clearness.
But it is just before a great norther
that the old vel! plays its widest
pranks. Then for several hours the wa
ter rises to.Within few feet q the top
of the we'll and enlits the weirdest,
widest noises that ever reached human
ears. At SUCH times even the water
drawn out with buckets means and
walls as if in anguish.
The well is about 80 feet deep. A
few years ago the land on which it is
located was bought by Mr.. Watkins,
who, not liking the sounds that came
from the well, 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 perceptibly, and
they threw up the contract. From the
measurements Of the excavations they
had made it has been calculated that
the we'll should have been filed up a
little more than twice.
Thew water is very clear, with blush
tint, and is fairly palatable. No other
wells in the neighborhood show such
pranks as are played by the singing
well. Fort Worth (Tex.) Cor. Chi.

said that that officer and ID men were
at Bigau, where they were subsisting

not more than one peseta per man per

Cara also described the extent of the

weapons are Mausers, with which the
troops on the line are being equipped

amazes Cara, as it has those in author
ity in Manila. He said the old weapons
were being distributed to the troops in
the interior, and that: the armament of
the infantry goes on to an alarming
extent.

in some instances were equipped with

CHICAGO, Sept. 9.In his speech be-
fore the trust conference Hon. William
81. Bryan, in discussing the remedy for
/ the trust evil, made the following sug-
gestions:
One method for the humiliation Of
trusts Unsecured to me, and to ME it
seems a complete method It may not
commend Itself to you. 1t is this:
That congress should pass a law provdGl-
Ing that no corporation organized in any
state should do business outside of the
state IN which it is organized until it re-
celVes from some power created by con-
. gress license authorizing it to do busi-
ness outside of the state; then that license
can pc granted upon conditions which
Will Will, IN the first place prevent the water
Ing OF stock; in the second prevent mo-
nOpoly IN any branch of business: and
third. provide for publicity as to all Of the
transactions and business of the corpora
ton.
a third condition, suggest that this
license shall not be granted until the cor
poratlon show that it has not had mo-
nopoly and is not attempting monopoly
{ OF any branch OF industry or any article
OF merchandise, and then provide that if
the law is violated the license can be re-
voked.
Now, may be mistaken, but it has
seemed to me that this method of dealing
with the trusts would prove an effective
method. do not say that there shall be
no private corporations but say THAI a
corporation is created by law, it is crea,ed
for the public good, and it should never
pc permitted to do thing that is in
furious to the public good.
have faith that these questions will be
settled and settled right, but I want to
protest against this doctrine that the
trust is natural outgrowth of natural
laws. It is not true. The trust is 1e
natural outgrowth Of unnatural condi-
tions created by man-made laws.
You cannot hide behind the doctrine
that it is here and that we cannot get rid
OF it. believe that the American people
can get rid Of anything they don't want
that is not good.

George Grossmith, comparing Ameri-

New York gentleman was once chatting
me about my pronunciation of certain
words, and was very much amused at
it. So 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 so. Well,
I think it's about time you learned to
speak it.. III
cit is very difficult to score off an
American, and you can t. play a 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 a brandy and soda and some
sandwiches?' They We always been most
polite and taken it seriously, saying,
I'VE don't keep brandy and soda and
sandwiches here But you have them
ordered IN from outs de-. Yes, but

on, all quite gravely and without the
suspicion of smile or the slightest
culver of the muscles of the counte-

and calmly said, Any more?' Then
there was moments awkward pause,
