so he slipped, clutched at the seat to
save himself. missed it, and fell back
wards into the water. Mrs. Ellsworth
screamed and jumped to the side of the
boat Just as Sir Edgar was endeavoring
to climb into it. Their combined weight,
however, capsized the frail craft, and a
minute later they were both struggling
in the river.
Fortunately they were quite close to
the bank, and had no difficulty in reach
ing place of safety. They ran straight
back to the house entering it by q side
door, so as to avoid the rest of the party /;

Sir Edgar, when he had changed his
things, gave his friends an account of
the accident, and over a strong glass of
toddy in the smoking room unused on the
strange coincidence in the turn of events.
Mrs. Ellsworth, on her part, before her
bedroom fire bewailed the unlucky ac-
cident, and wondered what Sir Edgar
would have to say the next day.
Her doubts were, however, soon put
at rest the following morning by Lady
Popham, who entered her room as she
was breakfasting in bed.

LENGTH OF LIFE.
Longevity of Man Increasing, Says an
Austrian Physician.

Medical men are discussing a lecture
by Prof. Phuger of the University of
Bonn on longevity, in which he asserts
that the average length of human life
is steadily increasing. He maintains
that one-third of all the deaths registered
in Munich are due to heart disease.
brought on by the immoderate use of
beer, and that tobacco also claims large
percentage of the victims. Among forty
CentenarianS who have come under his
notice there was only one smoker. while
nearly all professed to a moderate use
of alcohol. What Prof. Piuger most
seriously warns people against is the
thought and fear of death. The mind
must be occupied, he says. in order TO
secure longevity. Hard working men
who retire rarely live much longer
The German census statistics show
that in 1871 the centenarians numbered
l47 men and 2ST women, but in 1900
only FIVE men and thirty women The
above press report is of interest. AS
is we'll known, in Munich the consump.
ton of beer per capita is greater than
elsewhere in the world and the per-
centage of heart disease is higher Beer

either wine or whisky. Tobacco is bet
