A Mystery Explained.

One of the strangest of stories of false Imprisonment comes from France. A woman was sentenced to imprisonment for life for having caused the death of her husband and brother. The three had lived to- gether at Malaunay, near Roeun. In cottage, the lower part of which was used as a wineshop. When the woman was sent to prison other peo- pie took the wineshop, but the new tenants suffered, the man from faint ing fits, his wife from nausea, from which she died. Another couple tried their fortune. but they too were overcome by the spell of the ac- cursed place." as they thought 1t. They were. subject to, fainting and loss of memory. At last a scien- tific examination of the premises was made. Then 1t was found that lime kiln adjoined the inn. In the wall dividing 1t from the cottage were many Assures, so that whenever lime was burnt monoxide of carbon es- capped into the inn. This was the secret of the deaths for which the woman was suffering. She was brought out of prison after six years of servitude.

CURIOUS AIDS TO SPEECH.
Methods Adopted by Well Known
 Speakers and Writers.


 Readers may have noticed that many persons while speaking-pub- lie orators included-have a knack of doing something which appears in an unaccountable way to assist the flow of words.
 Sir Walter Scott has supplied an illustration of this. When at school he could never succeed in getting above a certain boy in the class until he discovered that this boy, while re- beating his lessons, continually f1d- geted with button on his waistcoat. At the first opportunity that offered, Scott cut the button away, and his object was gained. When the boy was called upon to construe, his hand instinctively sought the button. and, being unable to find 1t. his mem- ory completely failed him and he went In disgrace to the bottom.
 Mrs. Cowden Clarke, the compiler of the well known concordance to Shakespeare, has told of a similar peculiarity on the part of Madame de Stael, who had a habit when talking of taking a scrap of paper and snip ping 1t into bits with pair of scis- sors. The idiosyncrasy of Gibbon, the historian, was to take a pinch of snuff between his fingers when he recounted an anecdote, and invaria- bly drop 1t at the point of the story.

The Quality of a Mirror.

In the mirrors of to-day tthe light is reflected by layer of silver or an aEalgam of tin, but a proportion of light Is lost In the process of reflec- ton and the image Is less luminous than the original. The value of a looking glass is usually estimated by the thickness of the glass. because the thicker 1t Is the stronger It must be. But, speaking scientifically, thick glasses are defective because the outlines of the image reflected are less clearly defined.

Rivers, who works on a newspa- per. had been trying to make ar engagements for a trip to Kansas City.
 He was routed out of bed at mid night to answer a telephone call, and this was the subsequent conversa- ton:

Habi,s of Domesticated Animals.

The dog Is the most widely dis tributed of the domestic animals He lives In the lowly hut of the African savage and Is the companion of the Greenland Esquimaux, the most northern inhabitants of the wrold. He is, in fact, the inseparable com panion of man and Is found where ever the human race exists. Ills hab- fiat is thus extended further north and further south than that of any other domestic animal.
