I think it is a wise plan tl iish friend of mine tells me Sir Mon-11 Mackenzie adopts in his own family, and lias caused to bo followed hy many of his friends and patients—that of never allowing bread on tho table when he has fish there. Under no cirentSlstances will he eat. or permit to be etten, fish or bread at the same time. A He holds that tho presence of bread in the mouth prevents the detection of tho presence of-a bone, .which is lodged in the throat before it is discovered, and strangulation follows.

Horses know nothing about balking unti^ they are forced into it by bad manngeiuenL When a horse balks in h:Croess it is generally frpm some mismanagement, excitement, confusion, or from not knowing how to pull, but seldom from auy'hnwillingness to perfonh all that ho understands. A free horse in a team may lie so anxious to go that.whenho hears tho word he will start with a jump whicit will not move tho load, .but give him so severe a jerk on the slioulders that ho will fly back and stop the' other horse. .Next will come theslash.ing and cracking of the whip and . hallooing of Aho driver, until something is broken or the driver is through with his course of treatment. But what a mistake the driver makes in whipping’his horse for this act! Reason and common scilso should teach him that the horse was wiliing jind anxious to go but did not know how to start the load,—New York Tithes. .

The finft great railroad accident occurred on the Great Western road of England in 1841. A tram was rushing along when a mass of earth and stones fell from tho embankment and obstructed the why. Eight persons were killed and many wounded. Tho eornner's jury returned a verdict of "accidental death in all eases and a deudand of £1,000, an engine, lender and carriages." Tlio old common law provided tliat when any Iienoinal chattel was the cause of death it slmuld la) forfeited to the king. Part of this act was not enforced in later i, hut a heavy lino was imposed on . owners of any clmttel doing la-r-smal jury to tho king's subjects. Th- > law is observed as lute as 1847, win : parliament abolished the practice.—D.-troit Free Press.

A late copy of The Rang: »in Gazette gives ex-King Theehaw's ottk-ial explanation of how he came to lose tho throne.
