During the night tho planks gave way by degress, and the man slid gently into tho bitu men. Under normal conditions he ought to havo been boiled, but the bit umen was just beginning to feel the effects of tho fiost, and bo the watch man was saved from a horrible death. Unluckily however, the bitumen before thoroughly freezing haa adhered to Parnot's clothes and flesh, and about 4 o'clock in the morning he was awak tiled by cold which ceemed to have entered the marrow of his bones. On endeavoring to cot up he found him self glued to a bed of adamant, and shouted energetically for help. His cries attracted aorao matutinal maraud ers who were prowling around the locality for plunder, and thee worthies instead of helping the unfor tunate roan out of hts bituminous bed, cased mm ot his watch, a purse con taining a small sum of money, and hip kuife, after which they indulged iu un reasonable.chaff as to his inability to "rise with tho lark," and finally left him to his fate. Parnot wa nearly frozen to death when the workmen arrived and extricated him from his perilous position. He had to be ad mitted to tho hospital as an urgent case, for not only were his feet frozen but ho bad seriously injured himself id his cnergctio but ineffectual ondeavort to rise. Lost.

Convequeiieea of Intermarriage "Do consanguineous marriages" neces sarily lead to diseases In tho ofrsprlngl" is n question which has'becn argued pro nnd con for a great many jeans. Alfred Henry Huth has famished A very' carefully con sidered'answei'ln' tile negatlVe'in his work' entitled "The' Marriage of Near- Kin" (London; Longmans, 1887). Mr. Huth examines, In the light ot all the known facts, llrst: whether' consanguineous marriages are themselves,- by the mere fact of consanguinity nnd irrespective of any inheritance, Injurious to the off spring! whether in a nlarringo' between two relatives who are both perfectly healthy, who live under healthy, condi tions, and whose families are perfectly healthy, the children boWwill 'probably be' unhealthy; And, second: Whether' consanguineous marriages giro n greater proportion ot unhealthy children than non-consanguineous marriages; 'or, in other words, whether it is a fact that con sanguineous matrirfges, tlffdugh1 intensi fication of a previously dormant heredi tary family taint, give n greater propor tion of unhealthy children. His conclu sion, substantially, is that providing both ' parents aro healthy, no harm need bo ex pected to resuic to tno cimureti or such marriages; while If both parents exhibit a proclivity to any particular form of dis ease (as, for example, scrofula), the ten dency is likely to bo exaggerated in tho children.
