a Painless Wound.

II was about this time that | was
wounded-most strangely, in the fact
that while my wound was severe it
was wholly painless The fire of the
enemy had become exceedingly ac-
curate and the shells were bursting
all around. With the flag officer and
his staff was standing on the bridge
and our group made a pretty target
for the gunners on shore. Dupont in
his polite manner said presently:
Gentlemen, / would suggest that
some of you had better leave the
bridge. If our friends over there
should drop a shell among us. we
might lose some valuable officers"

BIRTH RATES SHOW CHANGES.
London Ststisticisn Says Fluctuations
Rise and Fall With Prices

At a meeting of the Royal Statis-
tical society. held recently in London
at the society's rooms, a paper was
read on The Changes in the Mar
riage and Birth Rates in England
and Wales during the Last Half Cen
tury. with an Inquiry as to Their
Causes" by G. Udny Yule.
A careful examination of the fiuc-
tuations in the birth rate showed. de-
clared Mr.. Yule, that IL appeared to
respond. like the marriage rate, to
the cycle of trade and industry,
though the movement is curiously ir-
regular as compared with that of the
latter rate. The fall of the birth rate.
or a marked increase in the rate of
fall, commenced in many European
countries just about 1886, that is,
when the effect of the fall in prices
from 1873 was just beginning 10 make
itself felt.
The turning point was too well
parked not to be due to some very
definite cause, and too widespread to
be ascribed to any cause of at all a
local character. The greatest inter
censal increase rates in England and
Wales occurred. it was pointed out,
after periods of high prices.

curzon Looms in Politics.

The return Of Lord Curzon to Eng
land is thought by many shrewd poll
ticians to add a new element to the
political situation. 1t is said that the
sx-viceroy of India, taking advantage
OF the fact that he is an Irish peer.

turn to the arena in which his first
triumphs were won, Ii was at one
moment thought possible Lord Cur
zon would throw in his lot with Mr..
Chamberlain. but he has always been
pronounced free trader, so it is more
probably that he will cast his great
influence on the side of Mr.. Balfour's
conservative free trade supporters.

She Rose to the Occasion.

This is the story OF a Warrensburg
girl who is frequently the guest Of a
Sedalia friend, says the Sedalia (Mo)
Capital. The president of the War
rensburg Normal is greatly opposed,
IT is said, to students of the college
calling up friends over the phone
or being called up during the study
periods Consequently he keeps one
ear primed for the jangle of the tele-
phone bell, and answers the phone
himself when he can manage to reach
it first. One day last week the girl
in question had agreed to call up one
of the Normal students with regard
to some trivial matter which they had
been discussing. Never thinking of
the presidents antipathy to the
phone, she called the Normal. The
president was busy with a class, but
he heard the bell, and rushed to the
charge.
"Hello!" he said, glumly.
"Hello!" answered a sweet voice.
Yes. the girl really has remarkably
sweet voice when she talks over the
phone. If you do not believe it, ask
some of the Sedalia boys. Hello!
who is this?"
The president rose to the occasion.
This" he responded, oracularly. lis
the president"
The girl gave a gasp of surprise.
Then she, too, rose to meet the emer-
gency.
why, howdy. howdy. Teddy" she
said. sweetly and cordially. so glad
to hear you. When did you reach
town."

Words Used But Rarely.

4 philologist was talking about
words. "Th-re are over 225,000 words
in the English language" he said,
but we only use a few thousand OF
them. The extra ones are no use to
us. Any man could sit down with a
dictionary and write in good English
a story that no one in the world
would understand. Here. for instance,
can you make head or tail of this?"
And the philologist pattered OF
glibly:
Il will againbuy the atabal. You
