A Marvellous Coincidence.

\ party of skaters were once pro
crossing at considerable speed down a
certain. frozen river in Canada when to
,he horroe of his companions one of the
party was seen to skate straight into
d hole in the ice. Before he could
stop himself he had fallen through it,
and the sharp edge OF the ice cut his
head clean off his shoulders. The
speed at which he was going, however
caused his head TO skim along the top
Of the ice, while the rest of his body
travelled at an equal speed beneath it,
until, by a stroke Of good luck, the
severed portions met at another hole
further down, and Joined so exactly
that the unfortunate man came out of
his accident with nothing worse than
q severe cold.-From the Strand.
