The People of Great Britain,

Ethnologically Great Britain is mix
ture Of many races, resulting from a
succession Of invasions When the Ro-
mans invaded Britain the inhabitants
were Celtic, mixed with an earlier Eu-
skarian nonAryan element. They con-
hnued to be mainly so until the fifth
and sixth centuries. when the level
parts of the country were overrun by
German tribes. Then followed inva-
sions by the Danes and other Scandi-
navian tribes and lastly the Norman
conquest. The inhabitants of England
and the lowlands of Scotland, there
fore, sprang from an amalgamation Of
the original Celtic with German and
Scandinavian blood. Wales and the
highlands of Scotland are still inhabit-
ed by descendants Of the ancient Celtic
tribes. The people of Ireland also are
of Celtic origin, although there is an
admixture Of many other races.

FATAL ELECTRIC SHOCKS,

Respiratory ORGANS.

They Kill by Attacking the Heart or
Respiratory Organs.
While every one knows that an elec-
trlc shock. if powerful enough. will
cause death, there are very few who
know exactly the cause. and from de-
scription given in recent English
magazine. quoting an authority on the
subject. the whole matter is simple
Death produced from electric shock,
says this magazine. usually is the re-
suit Of contraction Of the fbrils or
muscular fibers of the heart or Of par
alysis Of the respiratory organs.
While doctors have been unable to
find any treatment that will cure the
former. artificial respiration often over
comes the respiratory paralysis.
The effects of direct and alternat-
ing currents vary with the current
strength. the duration Of contact and
the path through the body. and with
alternating currents low frequency
usually is more dangerous than high
The lower animals are more suscepf-
bic to electric shock than man, dogs
often being killed by a direct current
of seventy volts. In the average man
a direct current of 100 volts is scarcely
felt, 200 to 300 volts give rise to muscu-
lar cramps, while $50 volts will stop
respiration suddenly.-New York Press.

Rudimentary Hind Limbs.

Snakes are not the only animals
which exhibit the possession of rudi-
mentary hind limbs. In the whale
tribe there is no evidence externally of
hind limbs. The fore limbs in them
are converted into the "fippers," or
swimming paddles. Yet when the
skeleton is examined traces of
haunch and attached rudimentary
thigh bone are found. There is de-
veloped in certain kinds of whales a
bony piece representing the haunch.
The thigh bone is distinct, but there is
a mere rudiment attached to it, repre-
senting the shin bone or tibia of other
animals.

A FAMOUS INDIAN CHIEF.
Seattle, the Sts<earA., After Whom
the City Was Named.

the City Was Named.
At Fort Mauisou, on Puget sound,
fifteen miles northwest OF Seattle,
WASH stands a monument to Seattle,
or Sealth. chief of the SquaNiGh and
allied tribes. This aboligine was re-
garded as among the greatest of the
many Indian characters of the western
country. He ruled his people for more
than half century with superior tai
ent and was looked upon as a states
man who had no equal among the
tribesmen.
At the time of his death, in 1866. he
was the acknowledged head and chief
sachem of all the tribes living on or
near Puget sound. He had reached
the age of eighty when he passed
away and had made many warm
friendships with the white pioneers in
Washington. Over 100 white men
were in attendance at his funeral.
In 1890 his friends erected a monr-
ment of Italian marble, seven feet
high. with a base or pedestal sur
mounted by cross bearing the letters
Il. 81. S." On one side of the monu-
ment is the following inscriptions:
SEATTLE
Chief of the Squamish and Allied Tribes,
Died June 7th, 1866.
The firm Friend of the Whites, and for
Him the City of Seattle was Named

Ristor's Request When Told "Any-

It was on one of these occasions that

Queen Isabella, who was then on the
Spanish throne, sent for her, desiring
to speak to her in the royal box. The
queen expressed her pleasure in the en-
thusiasm and then said to Nine. RiS-
tori:
"Anything you ask me is granted"
Without IN instant's hesitation Nine.
Ristori replied to the queen:
MADAME, if you really wish to give
me whatever ask I will beg you to re-
prieve the poor man who, as read this
morning, has been sentenced to death
and is to be garroted tomorrow"
The queen hesitated few seconds
before she granted this wish. But the
reprieve was signed, and the condemn
ed man was, to his great establishment,
released on the eve of his execution.

PUBLIC SPEAKING.
And the Necessity For CuItivating the
Art Of Enunciation.


Art Of Enumeration.
Speaking is one Of those arts which
people seem to think are unnecessary
to study and learn, and the probability
Is that most speakers of the kind men
toned are blissfully unaware Of their
lnaudibility. Doubtless their voice re-
sounds comfortably in the empty
spaces of their own chest and head.
and this prevents them from knowing
that it does not penetrate to the audi
tory apparatus of other people.
To be lecturer it is not only neces-
Of enunciation and audible delivery
needs to be learned also. And the
sound of ones voice in ones own ears
Is most misleading guide. Such peO-
pie ought to be trained by being made
to read or speak from one end of
large room to somebody teaching them
at the other end, when they would soon
find out that tones which will pass
muster in a conversation are useless in
public speech.
In conversation we carelessly slur half
our syllables. leaving our interlocutor
to guess them from the context, but
this will not do in a public speech.

the signs. Again. a word pronounced

impromptu defense OF the Comte de
