Death and Birth Time.

There are great number of curious
superstitions as to the time Of day when
a 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 IS, 474 cases of death
and Sc, $50 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
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 febrile exacerbation in illness.

opened the door, and there stood Lion.

addressed to DR.. Bull. The doctor took

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 SO. Well,

speak it, H..
''It 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, Cant
] have ! brandy and soda and some
sandwiches?'~ They've always been most
polite and taken it seriously, saying,
we don't keep brandy and soda and
sandwiches here. But you have them
ordered in from outside Yes, but
that of course is for ourselves, and so
on, all quite gravely and without the
suspicion Of smile or the slightest
culver of the muscles of the counte-
nance to indicate sense that a prac-
tical joke was fooling around.''

Jared differently"

house in Hartford. There was man
standing at the entrance, an official
with a band around his hat, SO step

A SINGING WELL.
Ore Of Natures Puzzles That is Lo-
Gated In Texas.

One of Natures Puzzles That Is Lo-
Gated In Texas.
About three miles west of Cedar
Bayou, Harris county, Tex, is re-
markable we'll. When it was dug, no
one can tell, but it has been in exist
ence for more than 60 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
if 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
mysterious 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 we'll plays it's widest
pranks. Then for several hours the wa
ter rises to within few feet Of the top
Of the well and emits 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 we'll is about 60 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 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 perceptibly, and
they threw up the contract. From the
measurements of the excavations they
had made it has been calculated that
the well should have been filled up a
little more than twice.
The 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
we'll. Fort Worth (Tex.) Cor. Chi.

one only, when it was little less hot
two, aud when it was cool all three.
Besides these, he always kept three
