When Macklin, the famous actor,
came to think Of what he should do
with his son he decided that he would
make a lawyer Of him. So the young
man was entered at the Temple in
London, chambers were rented, and a
working library was bought.
And the first book I made him
start with was the Bible" said the old
actor, years afterward, as he recalled
the matter.
The Bible! The Bible for a law
yer?7 exclaimed his friends.
Yes, and the most proper and most
scientific book for an honest lawyer.

Mr.. Worm plows with his head
which he forces along through the soil

Short Time.


Short Time
That it IS possible to commit sui
eide By simply holding ones breath
has been clearly proved BY a despon-
dent Norwegian, who recently killed
himself IN this very unusual manner.
When ne determined to die he closed
his mouth and nOstrils and BY mere
force Of VIII prevented his lungs from
doing their proper work
This case is the more remarkable.
as there has long been a popular no
ton that no human being could by
mere win power stop the action OF
the lungs for more than one OF two
minutes. For this reason il has at
tracted much attention, and a French
writer, commenting on II, says;
To persons OF good taste who are
weary Of this life this method OF
committing suicide viii certainly com
mend itself, one reason being because
the body is not dishgured thereby, and
another because the act can be com
mitted in any place and at any time.
II IS true that sensitive OF nervous
