ill-fatcd jury, after six months of patient

about an agreement amongst them.

Judge Nelson took the notc and sent in

it was sent in unwrapped.
Since the above was put in type, the
jury came into Court and announced dis

man stated that there was no hope of an
agreement, and thnt but one of the jury
beloved that unanimous conclusion
could be reached. Judge Nelson ad-

1t may be interesting to some of our
readers to know that the unwholesome
odor Of the ailantlus tree can be COM
plctcly changed into the delicious frn-
Hrance of the chestnut, by the introduce
ton of oil Of vitriol into the sap, which
is easily accomplished by boring n hole
about one inch in diameter and eight
inches deep near the ground, and filling
it with sulphuric acid. The tree absorLs
the ncid. and after one or two npplica-
tlons, the Objectionable perfume disap-
pears, and the unwholcsome effect is
completely neutrelized. AS the season
of typhus fevcrs may be said to have be-
gun, and this tree produces more of it
than any three other causes, we are sur
prised that attention has not been called
to this matter before 1t is practiced in
many large European cities with perfect
success.

joint expense Of this noble woman, of
Capt. Allen Young, and of our gallant
countryman, Mr.. james Gordon Ben
nett, to continue the search which has
employed SO many years of Lady Frank
Inns career She has devoted quarter
of century to the pious task which thus
employs her latest hours. Tho expedi-
ton of McClintock, in which Captain
Young bore conspicuous part, solved
the long-sought secret of Sir John Frank
Inns fnte, and this voyage of the Pan
dora, it may. be confidently hoped, will
crown Indy James lnbors by bringing

navigator.
Will the loving wife be on earth to

request that the churches of America
offer prayers for her has hbt passed un-

sympathy Of the world, because of her

her lost husband, thereby indirectly
furthering the exploration of the polnr
sens. She was the second wife of Sir
John Franklin, his first wife having been
Eleanor Ammo Porden, who was known
as an nuthoress. She was married in
1928, after the explorers return from his
great overland expedition to the far
North, and seventeen years before he
sailed on the voyage from which he
never returned. She recently visited
this country, where she has many friends.

WHO are only 72-100 of women. What
the remaining 23-100 are cannot ina

this: If II woman of this kind marries

woman? And what will be the exact re-

7G-1O0 aunt aud her S7-100 daughters,

seems to me, if you multiply the aunt

way or other, or else extract the square
root of the cousin and subtract the re-
suit from the aunt, keeping the daughter

might be satisfactory. But I am not
