It was an r unavoidable accident, but just the same C it hud its effect upon me, and for a - time it preyed heavily on my mind and probably would have done so until to- * day had it not been for the sequel, ' which righted up matters somewhat. “I kept myself pretty well informed as to the condition of the boy, and was extremely happy when I saw him on f the streets again and to all appearances [ fully recovered from the injury which I i ; had inflicted upon him. Well, time i passed along, and, the boy’s family hav ‘ ing moved from the house where he re ' sided and where we took him after the ’ injury, for awhile I did not see him, ‘ though I occasionally heard from him. t “One rather rough night about a year afterward our company responded ■ to an alarm in the northwestern part of the city. On arriving at the lire I was - sent to one of the upper rooms of the 1 burning building to rescue some chil dren who were in the room and who were terribly frightened, as they bad good reasons to be, for they were in considerable danger. There was a light burning in the room, and the moment I entered it I recognized the little fel low that I had driven over and injured. If there ever was a little fellow’ who was carefully wrapped up in bedclothes and with his little sister taken down \ stairs and to a place of safety, you can bet it was that boy and girl. The same look of fright was upon bis face, which I had not forgotten, but 1 don’t think my face looked as bad as when I had picked him up in my arms before. 1 was supremely happy in being able to return some good for the ill I had done him.”—Washington Star.

She openeth her sweet mouth and turneth her head o’ one side like a mocking bird in the moonlight, and straightway cometh forth the purest sil ver tones that ever mortal voice made. Her pianissimo was like a dawn, which j crescmdo’d presently into a glorious i noon of tone, which then did die away ! into a quiet gray twilight of clear, me- I I lodious whisper. She sang nothing mean i jor light or merely taking.

A professor who has made a study of children says he has discovered why the majority of the people are right handed. Infants use both hands until they begin to speak. The motor speech function controls the right side of the body, and the first right handed mo tions are expressive motions, tending to help out speech. As speech grows so does right handedness.

I Slurtlinu theory Shewing That j Instant Death Is nn lin posslblH t > ! nnd That We Mil? Be (.oiiscious For I Some Time Aller Dissolution. “You often meet with the phrase | “death was instantaneous,' and you I believe it. but instant death ; Lie. A professor has L<< n studying the subject, a man of renown in his own world, anil he has discovered "certain important data proving conclusively that no one can meet with instant death. He works out his theory - n the data afforded by the physiology of cells He states that no one y-t has proved the difference between a dead and a live brain cell. lien this has been done, then we can more easily ascertain how long a time elapses before the death of a cell takes place. But, first, what is a cell? Y t be brief, both plants and animals—including, of course, man—are built up of units, ele mentary units, which you can only de tect under the microscope. Now, each tiny cell is a vital elementary unit. We are nothing but highly develop! <1 results of the individual vitality of huge quan tities of these fundamental cells. As this is undeniably so, how is it possible, by simple decapitation, say, to cause instant death in the millions of cells which compose the brain? It is known that brain cells have their own cell life and are liable to live a certain time after they are cut oft from outside nutrition without the supply of any blood whatever from the body The nourishment is supplied in>i<l- tic cell walls, and it can go on living after be ing cut off from other resources. From this argument it is clear to the professor that these millions of cells in the brain must continue to live after death has apparently intervened—that is, when death appears, but only on the outside, to have been instantaneous. After a man s leg is cut off, or an animal's, you can stimulate the nerves for a long time, but you cannot do it after the cells are dead. Y’ou cannot get any response at all. Electricity has been thought to be the ! germ of life, but this is a fanciful the- i ory when confronted with the new laws I as by research established. The countless millions of cells of which our bodies are entirely composed contain the germ of life, and it is im possible for these to be visited with an instantaneous unconsciousness. You can take living cells from a pig's glands, and this same professor will ■ demonstrate to you that after these j glands have gone through their prepara tion'the cells are still living. But the curious fact remains that at present there are no data showing the supposed length of time it takes for tho cells of tho brain to empty themselves of the germ of consciousness or life, but it is certain that consciousness does not : cease immediately after, say, a head has been cut off a body ; however, is that at least four or five ( minutes must elapse ere death finally ; i steps in to arrest life. It has been noticed in the case of a I I decapitated head that the cheeks remain , red fcr some minutes after the sever | ance, a conclusive proof that the cells I are living. Tho heads of decapitated animals ' i have continued to bite and snap at tho : air for three or four minutes after Bev- I erance. This phenomenon is well mark ed in the head of a tortoise separated ’ from the body. The life of the brain, j therefore, must be retained for some ' time after the head is severed, from the \ very fact that, though being separated ■ from the trunk, its nutritious blood and I gases, taken from the fund stored up in I the cells, are in sufficient quantity to ! | carry on life, but for what exact period is unknown. Do the brain cells die simultaneously 1 i No, because they have their own indi vidual cell life. Our scientific friend also makes the very startling statement that in many diseases the brain cells, although the person to all appearances is dead, may live fur three or four hours after supposed death has taken place. In the case of a healthy person being hanged, seeming death is not instanta neous at all Oiganic motion is arrest ed. but real death is certainly not in stantaneous. The brain cells are the last to die, and life is not really extinct un til rigor mortis sets in. which, in the case of a healthy person dying sudden ly, is protracted. Now, when it is known that an ordi nary cell lives after being renieved fr< m a living body, why, then, cannot the brain cells retain their life when the conditions immediately surrounding them are much the same as during their previous existence? The head of a chicken was cut off, after certain stimuli had been made it. opened it I I /, P many minutes after it was apparent- | ly dead. A strong electric light was i held in front of tho eyes and moved alternately near to and far away from them. The pupils of the eyes followed the light in its movements, expanding and contracting, that is to say. focus ing themselves upon the light as it moved backward and forward It was proved that the animal was capable of smelling by the use of certain pungent odors placed near the nasal organs— and all this because the brain cells, were yet living Hni-tiuu Duck- Without W:u<r.

Golf matches, afternoon teas, picnics or boat ing parties, all are attended by him with most conventional regularity. IL never greets any ordinary acquaintance when thus socially engaged and has even been known not to eat for several days when a fashionable wedding was on his mind. With the swell dogs of St. Augustine Towser never has any rows, having, no doubt, studied the politic art of being agreeable, but with commoner cuts he is irritable and de fensive.

McCann has had 19 years' actual residence in west Africa. Mr. McCann’s seven years' trading and resi dence with the cannibal tribes of the French Gaboon probably form the most ! exciting part of his experiences. He got ! friendly with them and thoroughly ; studied their habits and customs. They quite believed that the white men ate white men as they themselves eat their fellow blacks. A big chief offered Mr. McCann the smoked thigh of a native. This was considered a graciens act. To refuse it would be unfriendly. Mr. Me > Cann was in a dilemma. But he feigned illness, said he was not eating just then The chief eventu ally put the matter off good naturedly by saying he supposed the white man preferred white man to eat instead of black man. “The Mpongwes, ” said Mr. McCann, “are in ferocious and pugna cious qualities second to no other tribe in Africa. Their villages mostly consist of a single street from 600 to 1,500 yards long, on each side of which are the houses. In these houses they cixjk. eat and sleep and keep their store of provisions, the chief of which is smoked game and smoked human flesh, hung up to the rafters. “Although ferocious and quarrelsome to a degree, they are very industrious. They show considerable skill in the manufacture of pottery, and the designs of their cooking pots, water jars, to bacco pipes and palm wine bottles are extremely artistic. In ironwork they are also skillful workers. Although they kill game for food, they much prefer human meat to any other. London Globe. Where the Crabs Come 10. When a school of menhaden make their way into a bay, they may stay for days swimming around in one re gion. Larger fishes, including perhaps some sharks, feed upon them there. From such feeding there are more or less fragments that sink down through the water, and the various crabs and other crustaceans come scuttling from all parts of the bay to get them. It may be that the tide carries some of the litter about, or perhaps the crabs and other creatures smell it, as bluefish scent the bait that is used in chum ming, but when a school of menhaden are preyed upon at the surface all the crabs in the bay congregate on the mud below to catch the crumbs that fall Nt-w York Sun.
