when a dying person is most likely t..
to draw his last breath, and the
tide, the moon and the wind have ali
been supposed to have some share iI
the matter According to the British
Medical Journal Raseri, who has an.

Ci birth, where the exact time # day
was noted. finds that the mcxinuu,
number Of deaths occur in the early

the minimum in the last hours before
midnight. while the maximum number
CT births occur in the early hours Of
the morning and the minimum in The.
carly hours of the afternoon. As re-
CARDS the cause Of this, he points out
that the hours of the maximum number
OF deaths are precisely those when the

only sc years Of age, but his face re-
veals his grave and earnest character
and clearly shows that he is possessed
Of acute intelligence. He is most dem

plicity, cordiality and courtesy make
him most popular among his country
men. The republican form Of govern
ment is not mere mask in Costa Rica
That place Is truly free country, i'm
measurably in advance Of its Latin
neighbors. Iglesias wants free press
and has II. He Is opposed 10 monop-
