Most Frequent Hours of Death.
From the Baltimore American


The oldest man that ever lived died at
last. He must have done so or the world
would not have known that he was the
oldest man. Even he, whoever he was,
lived an infinitesimal part of time COM
pared with the amount of time there Is
to be lived. The time when persons are
likely to die. therefore, becomes of some
interets. A French physician has been
noting this. He Is said to have taken
death OF 1850 persons of all ages in a
mixed population. The largest number
of deaths occur between 5 and o'clock
in the morning, and the smallest between
and IL o'clock in the morning. From 10
AM to pm. the death rate is not large
and the most fatal hours are from 3 to 6
am These figures proportionately are
not new. They have been in the hands of
the pubic for many years. Not only ply
miliar with the fact that the greater
number of people die very early In the
morning and few in the later morning
and early afternoon.
The reason given by the French physi-
clan Is decidedly novel and will probably
be disputed by the profession. He claims
that the cause of SO many deaths early
In the morning is because those who are
dangerously. Ill are more exposed than at
any, other time to insufficient nourish-
ment and less care Heretofore 1t has
been held that the vitality of the patient
decreases with the advance of the night
until with the approach of dawn 1t be-
comes too feeble to struggle further
against the Entertainments of disease.
It Is pleasanter to accept this view than
20 believe that as many die OF neglect

HAUL PASSENGERS By POUND.
Travellers to Pay Railway Fare on
Basis of Their Weight.
he Chicago-Record Herald.

From the Chicago-Record Herald
Why should small. lean man pay as
much to ride on a railway car as the bulky
individual of large girth and weight? The
man of much adipose not only takes up
more room but it certainly costs more in
coal or electric energy to- haul him. Then
why not make him pay by the pound, same
as other live stock?
These questions have been asked since the
beginning of railway development. The un-
much as the tat man is readily conceded,
but railway managers have been slow in
evincing willingness to correct the in
equality.
But at last We have a railway president
who Is willing to put his beliefs into prac-
tice and to set the pace for the timorous
ones who adhere to the old practice of
hauling sheep and cattle and coal by the
pound and human beings by the piece The
president of the new Pueblo and Beulah
Valley Electric Railway in Colorado an
nounces that when the road is completed
each person will be required to step on an
automatic registering scale at the ticket
office. and the clerk will charge for trans
pOrtatiOn at the rate of cent and a half
a pound.
The decision Is hopeful augury of the
good time coming when there will be an
evening up of all the inequalities and un-
just determinations from which man suf-
fers when the man who has a chin beard
a shave as the man with q smooth face and
the man with a number seven foot will not
pay as much for shoes az the man with a
number ten foot Moreover 1t may then
be possible to figure Just what 1t costs q
railroad per ton per mile to haul freight"

WILD WOMAN OF THE ALPS.
Discovered 10000 Feet Above the
Level Of the Sea.
From the London Express.

From the London Express.
A wild woman of the mountains has been
discovered in the Bernese Alps under most
strange circumstances. A sportsman from
Lauenen. while on a deserted portion of the
Wildhorn, shot and wounded chamois.
He tracked the injured animal for a long
distance along the rugged cliffs. when sud
denly he heard not far away strange means,
as of some animal in pain. Led by the
sounds, he found on q narrow ledge Of rock
the PROSTATE form of a woman in appar
emily the last stage of starvation and ex
haustion. Her bones were forcing their
way through the skin, her face was hidden
by tangled mass of black hair, which par
TALLY covered her hacked shoulders; her
finger nails were sharp, like the claws of
animals, and her bare feet were protected
by thick sole of horn cuticle. Her only
covering was a scant patchwork of sacking
and odd rags.
At the sight Of the man she screamed
wildly and attempted to rise and escape,
but was too weak to stand up. Help was
procured. and she was conveyed to Ges-
senay, where the strange story of her dis
covery at an altitude of over 10000 feet up
the mountain created widespread interest.
When she had been fed and had somewhat
recovered, her alarm at seeing people
around her seemed acute and again and
again she attempted to run away from her
preservers. She CRASHED her teeth, at
tempted to bite and scratch those who held
her and abused them in an unknown tongue
resembling q rough mountain patOiS but
which none of the French, German and
Italian peasants who tried to converse with
her was in the least able to understand.
Her history is a mystery. but it Is thought
possible that she was deserted by some
band Of gypsies and has been wandering
half demented and alone on the Alps for
many months.

WEIGHT OF BRAIN.
Among Various Glasses Increases With
Degree Of Intelligence.

From the European Edition New York Herald.
It has been for long time asserted that
the weight of the brain of educated per-
.sons is greater than that of the common
crowd. Some results having appeared to
shake this belief it had begun to be as
sumed that the quality of the brain, and
not it's quantity, has its share of Importance
in this respect.
1t certainly appears rational to take quail
ity into account in certain special cases,
but, generally speaking, the first named
statement appears to be correct. In other
words, the greater intelligence of the man
corresponds with the weight of his brain.
M. Mathiega, an anthropologist of Prague,
has just settled the matter beyond all
doubt
Having first ascertained that the male
brain weighs on an average 1.4O0 grammes,
and the female brain loo grammes, be-
tween the ages of twenty and sixty, he has
gathered the following statistics, based on
the study of the brains of 235 persons, diff
fering widely in their occupation and intel
lectual culture.
Grammes
Day laborcrs. i, 400
Workmen and nnskiiied laborers. ..1 433
Porters, guardians and watchers. 1. 1876
Business men and photographers as
sistants ........1 ACC
Physicians and professors. ................1,5 500
From this table 1t will be seen that the
weight of the brain increases in gradual
progression.
S 1t appears, moreover. from NJ Mathiega's
researches that the manufacturing or sale
OF alcoholic drinks Is not favorable to
cerebral development, Judging by the light
weight of the brain OF brewers. beer shop
keepers and walters in cafes. The average
weight among this class Is only 1.41S
grammes, whereas 1t rises to LAP among
cabinetmakers, 1,440 among shoemakers
and LAT among bIaclLsmiths, locksu1iths
and other workers In iron and steel.

CITY BOYS FOR FARMS.
Great Help to Youths by Giving Lit
tie Farm Training.
From the Tribune Farmer.

From the Tribune
There is no better way Of helping city
boys than to take them for while on your
farms and give them little farm training
have helped to locate several in this way
and 1t has proved profitable both ways. Just
now farm help is exceedingly scarce; and
am inclined to think that any reputable
farmer could, by advertising, secure the
assistance of city boys for month or two,
in haying and harvesting, and perhaps in
potato digging and cornhlsking. AS rule.
this would be well compensated by the
board and the farm training, or education
given In some cases the boy might prove
to be so valuable that an additional COM
pensation could be extended.
There are many lads In the cities who are
catching the spirit that Is turning the popu-
lation outward, and spreading it over the
country. These boys should be encouraged
and helped. ThousandS of6them have no one
to advise them, and many of them are left
to shift for themselves even in the city. Let
us see what we can do FtoI set on foot a
general movement. 7 have with me this
summer one lad from. Washington who
proves to be a splendid chap every way;
and another applicationr1 have no room
for, at least at present. The tide away
from factory life must be encouraged for
the public welfare, swell as for our own
individual interests, and for the interests of
the lads themselves OF course, good deal
of discrimination must be used in taking
such boys, because they cannot be consid-
cred like ordinary hired men. The hired
man is passing out; and. 80 far as the
farmer is concerned, 1t will be good thing
If we can devise some substitute For the
last two years we have been compelled to
| take the mere refuse OF laborers, and yet
pay them as good wages as we are required
to pay the first-class men. A revolution Of
some sort Is to take place. Let us think
over this boy question. BY boys. mean
lads from twelve to fifteen, or possibly a lit
| tie older. At the same time we are to con-
slider that they come with tastes somewhat
different from country-bred boys; and in
many cases they will bring to us refinement
and culture They must be we'll treated, and
in many cases be in all ways members Of
your family am. not sure but we have a

US the way out of this cave of misery and

MooNsH1NERs PROFITS.
So Large That Illicit Distilling Will
Never Be Stamped Out.
From the Macon Telegraph.

From the Macon Telegraph.
An old revenue officer who has had years
OF active experience in raiding stills and
capturing blockaders, who has had many q
battle with the outlaws and heard the bull
let's from their guns whistle past him who
has often crouched behind rocks and stood
behind trees, and who has done his share
In trying to stamp out the miscreants, said
few days ago, in speaking Of blockaders
and moonshine whisky: Il have been a rev.
enue officer for about twenty-five or thirty
years and have seen all kinds of service
under all kinds of circumstances, and L
don't believe blockading or Illicit distillfng
will ever be stopped The reason for my
belief (and l am not the only one) is simply
this: There is such a large profit in the
business that the temptation is too great
for most of that class of people, regardless
of the law, not needing what has befallen
fellow-moonshiners. Even forgetting that
they have once been caught or suspected
and that the eyes of the officers are on
them, they go right ahead and distill the
grain. But at the same time they on
the lookout for raids and have their guns
ever ready to send piece of lead into their
discoverer. They are good shots, too. hard
ly missing when they have fair opportu.
nifty to take aim.
Il will give you an idea of how cheaply
moonshine whisky is made, and the inn
They take one gallon Of cheap black mo-
lasses, which costs about 80 cents; two
bushels Of meal, costing 65 cents per bush
ell, and some water. This Is made into .
mash, allowed to ferment, and the stuff
then goes through the process of evapora-
ton. This amount of meal. water and mo-
lasses makes forty gallons OF whisky,
which is sold for 81 gallon. Any one can
see the immense profit from this illustrs-
ton.
"Latterly brown sugar has been used in
stead Of moiasses, and II great deal
cheaper. The sugar costs about Az cents a
pound; there are 300 pounds in a barrel,
making 1t cost $3.50 per barrel. An i'm
mense amount of molasses Is made from a
barrel of sugar, and the profit is almost
twice as great as in using the first method.
Distillers are captured every day, and when
they are sent to prison others take their
white lightning.

EUTHANASIA.
A Practice Impossible Of Consideration
in Civilized Life.

From the New York Mail and Express.
Rev. Merle st. c. Wright, a young Uni
tartan minister of this city, was sure of
linking his name to an interesting topic
when he took up the old subject Of eutha-
nasia at a life insurance banquet the other
night Euthanasia means putting people
mercifully to death when they are suffering
from an incurable malady or wound, when
it is known that they must die. and when
they themselves wish to die. Mr. Wright
added the condition that their friends and
relatives must give their consent that they
should die; and in appending this condition.
he inflicted euthanasia on his own project
making it simply impossible to be consid-
cred in a civilized state of life.
The subject is old as Greece-doubt-
less as old as Egypt. Rude nations, in
deed, practice various forms Of euthanasia.
They are compelled to do SO. The Indians,
on long journeys, often found that the old
and the sick must be sacrificed to save the
tribe. Delay with the sick would expose
the tribe to attack, or deprive it of the
one chance to reach it's destination at a
necessary time. 1t became incumbent upon
those who must die to die quickly. The In
dams have always had that gift. When the
destroyer is fully due. he does not lag in
his approach. But in our artificial white
civilization, he is often an unconscionable
time arriving.
But as we have said, no normal person in
our civilized life today will consent to a
resort to the relief of painless death, even
in hopeless case. The proposition can be
discussed, and even mildly favored, as a
general one, but~never as special and
personal one Instead of using the means
of science to end sufferings, we employ
them to prOlong them. We add by infinite
effort and expense many minutes, as
many seconds. as we can to the span of
endurance. We no longer have any faith
in anybody's miracles except those of sci
ence. Yet we implicitly trust in the work
ing of one Of these wonders even at what
seems to be the last breath.

TEN-THoUsAND-DoLLAR BILLS.
One Barometer to the Situation
Showing Satisfactory Results.

From the New York Evening Post.
One pressing problem of the day has been
the influence which the rich mems panic
of the summer would exert on the winter
markets Trade in automobiles. in opera
boxes, in steam yachts, and in 5th avenue
mansions, is somewhat tardy in show
ing exactly what has happened; but there
are other little luXuries of people who think
in hundred millions, which may be studied
at closer range. One of these is the ten
thousand-dollar bill for the Christmas
stocking.
The subtreasury authorities are serious
people. who do not say such things in jest,
and they have testified in the past to the
existence of demand at this season for
new $4,000 bills, suitable for Christmas
gifts. 1t is therefore, reassuring to be in
formed on such authority, that inquiries
for fresh pocket money of the sort have
already reached the subtreasury, and is
being properly prepared for.
Demand for such currency is limited,
however, and so is the supply. There ex-
isted at the time of the treasury's last
report, only one United States note Of that
denomination, and nobody knows who owns
1t. No $4,000 treasury notes or silver GER
tiffcates are outstanding, but Of gold GER
tificates in that amount, 1886 are in present
circulation. Most, no doubt, are quietly
slowed away in bank reserves. The rest
serve for the rich mems Christmas.

TOO MUCH LATIN AND GREEK.
A Man Who Gave 60 Per Cent of His

had cut that 90 per cent down to 10, and
