Oaiue of Shoit Life. Dr. Hitohoook, the omiaeat profeSaor of phyaiod culture at Amherat, believes that the reaaaa why the average length ot life Is OBly forty years, is that maa aad wemea live too fast. Thair heads are prematurely bankrupt; thoir stomachs aro worn 'out; their hearts, kidneys and mnsdes are over- worked. If tho oao of tebacoo faoreassa the next as It has dorfag tho past twsnty- five years we shall net only know ef audden death from heart aad brafa iajarlss ooaao- qoeat opoo i^, bat wo shall see la the Aa- flo-Saxoa raoe, aisa aaiasoulated aad sorely efideat in mosoolar tbraagth.

One of The Myiteriei of Faris.^ A very siagolar affair has jost foond Ita deaeonement at the Morgoo la Paris. Some days ago the body of a littlo girl, be- tweoB 4 and 6 years el ago, eavelopod fa a sheet and lying en a pillow, was foond en a atalroaso fa Sb hooso en one of the minor streeta ef tho oUy. The little oreatare was extremely proMy, she was neatly dressed, aad had evideatly boea well toaded aad takoa care of durfag her short life. Tho floret Idea aatuically oatMrtafael by the press aad the public, as wall as tho pelloe, was that a crtme had boea ocnunitted, and that the ohUd had boon murdered, by adme per- BOB or persoas faterested fa getting rid of her. Yet a oardol examinatioa of the lit- tle corpse by akllled phyaiolaas failed to ror veal any traoa of vieloioe. It was then sob- j acted to a refrigeratfag prooeaa, and was exhibited for several days at the Morgoo, but though thousands oamo to see the poor littlo crESture, no one ooold reoagniza hor. Finally a thorough post mortem examfaatlon was imdortaken, and the oauae ot her death waa at enoe r-avealed. The oaae Is an ex- tremely rare and ourioos one. The little girl had been troubled with that very com- mon Infantile sSaotfan, worms in the atom- aoh. Oie of thoee paraaites ef luusud aiso had foroed Ita way fato tho child's throat, a fit of oonghfag had ensued, the worm had entered the windpipe and suffooaidon had terminated the Ufe of the little sufferer. It is anppoaod that she was nst with her par- eats, whoever they might bo, but waa nnder the care of a nurao, who, on witaessfag tho child's andden death, had become terrified for fear ef the conarquencea to herself, and who had then abandoned the body fa tho plaoe whore it was found. It was therefore thsoght that as aooa as the real facta of tho case were made knowa, tho persoas who had had charge of the ohUd fiadfag themadvea thos roliovad from dl reapondblllty, woold coma forward and roved vie faoto ooacom- fag hor. Nothiag of tho Uad took place.
