One of the greatest pugilists that America ever produced, John Dwyer of Brooklyn, quit his regular occupaâ€" tion to enter the counting room. He died within a year from tuberculosis. The explanation in this case was sim- ple enough. The immense lungs which were necessarily an advantage in the prize ring fell into disuse in the count- lng room. Disuse meant degeneration. and degeneration meant a lack of re- sistance. of which tubercle bacillus was not slow to take advantage.

On the first night of the ringing all the young folk congregate at the cross. and after parading three times round the parish church the La- nark lads meet the New Lanark boys in a tree fight, in which the only legit- imate weapons are their caps tied at the end of pieces of string. ““‘hnppity Scoorle.” The ancient custom at Lanark, Scot- land, of “Whuppity Scoorie,” the origin and meaning of which are lost, is cele- brated annually and watched by a crowd of grown ups.

Sometimes the men have pointed hoods to their cloaks, but even when the cloaks are not hood- ed the wearers wrap the capes around their throats and mouths and even around their heads. I have often seen a Spaniard going along wrapped in a cloak and with a muffler bound around his head, so that only one ear, one eye and one nostril were exposed.â€"J. A. Hart in Argonaut. V' Blaming In Spain. Never in my life have I seen such wrapping and mufiling as I have seen in Spain. The men here wear very heavy cloakyâ€"heavier than any outer garment we have in America except fur coats. These cloaks are usually lined with colored plush; the insides of the front flaps are often lined with a grave, and then Dr. Simpson awoke. “This is good," he said as he found Dr. Duncan snoring under the table and Dr. Keith creeping on to his feet. Elev- en days later the first public trial of chloroform “as made at the Edin- burgh inflrmary ‘ to be vaccinated in Russia was chris~ tened Vaccinoff. The beginning of the new era of chloroform was on a night In November, 1847, when three men sat around a supper table in an Edin- burgh dining room with glasses charged withâ€"chloroform! They were Dr. Simpson himself, with Dr. Keith and Dr. Duncan, and as they sat talk- ing all three began to inhale the fumes from the glasses. Suddenly the talk- ing ceased, and three senseless men fell like dead bodies on the floor. For some minutes the room was as still as Chlorotorm. The first child born under the influ~ ence of chloroform was the daughter of a doctor friend of Professor Simp- son, who is credited with the discovery of the drug, and she was christened Anaesthesia to celebrate the circum- stances of her birth, as the first child “W ell, when the British Columbia In- dian makes up his mind for venison, he goes at it systematically and without lentiment. A group of half a dozen or ten men split and take either end of a valley. Then they proceed along the mountain slope from the two ends to the center. They choose the sheltered side of the valley on which the deer seek to escape the wind. Each party covers the mountain side, some near the foot and some at the top and others be- tween the lines, keeping abreast by an lmitated owl hoot. The deer, on ‘wind- ing' pursuit, have the trick of leaping away down the slope, unlike the goats, which go up, and thus between the two approaching parties they are swept to- gether at the middle of the valley.

HorSes thrived and grew fut upon the native grass, which was three and four feet long. Samples of fine red currants were produced. Blueberries and raspberries also ripened, and flowers bloomed about the same time as the same species did in On- tario, owing to the influence of the mountain chain between Dawson and the coast, which precipitated the moisture and produced a perpetual summer chinook in the villages of the Yukon.

Tn those days the women were married in hemespun gowns, deers'nin petticoats, and Squirrelskin bonnets. Preachers were scarce, and Magistrates performed the ceremony, and so inadequate were the records kept that it Was deemed wise in 1793 by act of Parliament to legal- ize all marriage-s made previous thereto. Despite the plainness and severity of the life those old people looked back with regret to the time when there Were no doctors, no lawyers and very few preachers. when people "said prayers at home and trusted in Providence."

We borrowed it from the old French lan- guageâ€"bongette. meaning a small bag. in which in former times it was the custom to put the estimates of receipts and expenditures when presented to parliament; hence the chancellor of the exchequer, in making his annual state- ment. was formerly said to open his budget.
