Strange Causes of Death.?Of the hundreds of death certificates handled annually by the Wisconsin state board of health in making its classification of diseases, many as filled out by the local physicians and mailed to the board, contain unusual comment as to the cause of death, says the Chicago Herald. Some of these found in the reports of L. W. Hutchcroft, chief statistician, follow: A mother "died in infancy." "Went to bed feeling well, but woke up dead." "Died suddenly at the age of 103. To this time he bid fair to reach a ripe old age." "Do not know cause of death, but patient fully recovered from last illness." "Deceased had never been fatally sick." "Died suddenly; nothing serious." "Pulmonary hemorrhage, sudden death." (Duration four years.) "Kick by horseshoe on left kidney." "Deceased died from blood poison caused by a broken ankle, which is remarkable, as the automobile struck him between the lamp and the radiator." Reached the Spot.?An old worthy who was In the habit of calling each evening at the village inn for a "drop o' the best," found the landlord one night polishing the taps. After a few remarks about the weather he received his nightly dram. After he had gone the landlord discovered to his horror that he had supplied Donald with a half-gill out of the bottle of sulphuric acid which he had been using for cleaning the taps. Every moment he expected to hear of old Donald's death, and his relief was great when the old worthy arrived the next evening. "Donald, what did you think of that whisky you got last night?" "It was a fine dram, a warming dram, but it had one fault. Every time I coughed it set fire to my whiskers." Done by the Typee.?Newspaper compositors and men who edit copy, no matter how eagle-eyed they may be, sometimes allow errors to get by that are either laughable or humiliating. The Chicago Tribune, in reporting a political meeting, said that the vast audience rent the air with their snouts. Another Chicago paper reported that the propeller Alaska was leaving port with a cargo of 40,000 bushels of cats. A Buffalo paper, in describing the scene when Roosevelt took the oath of office as president, said it was a spectacle never to be forgotten when Roosevelt, berore the cnier justice 01 the supreme court, and a few witnesses, took his simple bath. Not Historical^?Miss Smith, the teacher, was hearing the history class. The pupils seemed unusually dull on this occasion, and in vain did the teacher try to get them to give correct answers. At last she looked at the child who was her star pupil. "Now, Elsie," she said, "Mary followed Edward VI, didn't she?" "Yes, ma'am," replied the little Kirl. "And. now, who followed Mary?" asked the teacher, hopefully. All was silent for a moment, then Elsie raised her hand. "Yes, Elsie?" quered the teacher. "Who followed Mary?" "Her little lamb, teacher," said Elsie, triumphantly. Didn't Like Preparatory Sounds.? "Jones," said a hotel manager to a waiter, "what did that gent from table No. 7 leave so suddenly for?" "Well, sir," said the waiter, "he sat down and asked for sausage, and I told him that we were out of them, but if he would care to wait a few minutes I could get the cook to make some." "Well." said the manager, "what then?" "I went to the kitchen." responded the waiter, "and accidentally trod upon the dog's tail, and of course he yelped. And suddenly the gent got up and left."?London Tit-Bits. And Run Like Time.?General Pau tells of a French non-commissioned officer who was being examined on the subject of tactics. "Give me an instance of strategy." was the question. The soldier thought hard, then replied: "When in battle you run out of ammunition, and don't want the enemy to know it, it is good strategy to keep on firing." Found in the Ballot Box?"What do you mean?" demanded the woman watcher at the polls. "What's wrong?" "I hear you have been throwing out the ballots of women." "We have not. We did throw out a recipe for sponge cake, a package of powder papers and a couple of love letters."?Judge. Neutrality.?"Your father and mother had an awful fuss last night, didn't they?" "Perfectly awful." "Which side did you take?" "Papa has promised me a piano for Christmas and mamma has promised me a diamond, so I am strictly neutral."?Houston Post. Counting Them.?"Are your son's running expenses with his auto much?" "Well, with running up a bill for supplies and running down pedestrians and getting run in by the cops, they do run some."?Baltimore American. He Could Only Shrug His SSou'ders. ?"A French officer captured by the Germans had great difficulty in explaining that he was not a spy." "Great difficulty, you say?" "Yes. His hands were tied behind him and he couldn't gesticulate." Natural Result.?"Mayme blushed when she found 1 was trying to read her face." "Well, people usually do blush when their faces are getting red."? Baltimore American. Didn't Mean it that Way.?"Madam, I am visiting the rural districts in the interest of diversification. Have you a hog on the place?" "You'll find my husband out in the barn." VM .. . tt \1 ...J.1.. . 2fU9cruanrou? craning. THE DARDANELLES Famous Strip of Water that is Often Mentioned in Dispatches. The national geographic society of Washington, has prepared the following descriptions of the Dardanelles and Austrian Galacia, which are figuring prominently In the war In Europe: Keen political interest has centered I around the Dardanelles since the time when Persian strength was tested upon the soldiers of free Greece. Xerxes came this way with his vast army for the invasion of Europe, and crossed the Dardanelles then known as the Hellespont, over a pontoon K?.lr1flPA nAnofrunto/1 naflr Ahvdos. on U1 IU5C, VVUOhi -vvvv. "V*.. -- ? ? ? , the Asiatic side, and touching Grecian shores near Sestos, where the waterway is about 6,500 feet wide. It was on this occasion that the capricious currents of the strait called forth the most historic spanking ever given. They carried away the pontoons, whereupon Xerxes ordered the Hellespont to be soundly flogged. Alexander, in 334 B. C., 146 years after Xerxes, crossed in the path of the Persian and began his successful subjugation of the outworn east. The tide shifted once more, and throughout the long struggle of Byzantium against the east, the Dardanelles were ever and again frontier waters. At last, in 1356, the Turks forced themselves over the muchcontested boundary, spread over its European banks, and settled down to stay. No longer a frontier of easternwestern struggle, the Dardanelles, nevertheless, preserved their political importance, an importance derived, first from Turkish control of Medlterrenean-Black sea commerce, and, later, in which the great powers of Europe sought to balance themselves one against the other, and each to make that balance contribute to its own advantage mighty Russia's only triir r?

For a century these conventions have stood between Russia and her ambitions to have an outlet on the Mediterranean. By a five power treaty in 1841, it was arranged that no ship of war of any nation other than the Ottoman, i should pass the Dardanelles without express permission of the porte. The closing of the strait was reaffirmed at London in 1871, and at Berlin in 1873. Even merchant vessels must have passes, which they are required to show to the authorities at the narrows. Boats may pass through only during the daytime, yet they are required to pay a small lighthouse fee. The strait is a narrow, irregular channel connecting the Agean sea with the sea of Marmora. It cuts Europe from Asia on a course from southwest to northeast. It is only about 45 miles long, while it varies in width from one to five miles. Its average depth is 180 feet. Upon the European side the shores are steep and barren, and their inhospitable line of battery-crowned rocks makes BOllllHijilil'HIIIHill'iiiii'v,:!: l'!"IHl'Hil'l!INIHIIir!Uillliililji I Lessons G jj !

The shores on the Asiatic side are long-sloped and very fertile; for the most part be ing clothed with beautiful forests. The Dardanelles guard the approach to Constantinople from the Mediterranean, as the Bosphorus guards the approach from the Blaok sea. They were first fortified by two castles, one on either shore, in the path of Xerxes and Alexander, built by Mohammed II, in 1462. These have been often remodeled. During the last century, with Turkish power on the wane, and the Turk himself, apparently acquiescent, the remodeling and extending of the old fortifications was brought about by French, English and German prodding as temporary interests pointed toward the Golden Horn.

In the Atlanta campaign, lost their lives. Do you suppose if a life insurance salesman, representing a company that was recognized by all intelligent men as being Amply Willing; yes, anxious to Carry Out its contracts, had offered to write the application of any of the soldiers who could, by any means have raised the premiums, Just before they entered on the battle, they would have told him "times were too hard," or that they were too old or the rates were too high, or that their widows or children or other dependents could shift for themselves? No, You don't think so. They would have applied for every dollar for which they could pay. Now it is a fact, demonstrated by just as reliable statistics as those already quoted, that the man who is 49 years old today, stands identically the same chance of dying before he is 53, as did each soldier who entered to be killed in the battle of Gettysburg, while the chance of the man who is 39 today, stands the same chance of dying before he is 45, as did the man who was in the Atlanta campaign.

It may help to form a record, but it Is erect- 1 ed as a tribute of love to those who ' have passed "to that bourne from whence no traveler ever returns." As such, let it be a thing of beauty, not dark and somber, but bright and cheerful; not typifying earthly sorrow, but symbolizing undying love. And as architecture is brought to us from the past by the tombs of the ancients, so let us pass on to those in our sieps, sumo wormy expression of our conception of beauty. PALMETTO MONUMENT CO. JOS.
