the line very desirable, not only as Sc

becomes darker and darker, and deeper
in hue. until it is finally converted into y
blush red, the whole limb being, froV its

Uniform color, except thajIat the region
i'm Immediately around tho ligature itself
there is TO be seen a narrow ring, which
is not bluish-red, but white. Though there
may be slight discoloration after death,
the doctor has satisfied himself by expert
ment that this cannot he confoundcd with
the complete discoloration that atien Is

NJ. Paul Janet, a French writer, has
shown that since the year 1888, there has
been twelve different governments in
France, the average duration of which has
been from seven to eight years. What is
curious in this connection is that none of
these governments have been the express
sion Of the free will of The people, but all
have been usurped. Every eight years,
therefore, force in France, overlhrows the
regular authority, and creates regime OF
chance, which is itself destroyed in tin =
