suit fatally. the minimum period Of i'm
prisonment will be one year, and maxi.
mum Ave years. and the amounts Of the

cation 10 o duel, OF an insult having that
object In view, will render the person
guilty Of II to from six days to three
months imprisonment and q fine Of $40
to 5000 |: and the same punishmsnt 10
applicable to those who make any accu.
sation in public charging q man with
having refused o challenge or failed 10
propose a duel. The seconds fare nearly
As bad as the principals.
BosroS has o well-marked case OF
kleptomania. Mrs. Sarah A. Davis. el-
esantly attired. and having the appear
ancs Of a lady Of wealth. has been do
tsotea In stealing an expensive silver
fruit dish. two silver cream pitcher, and
. water pitcher. She was not In want,
being q woman Of some property. She
has been three times In the lunstic asy-
lum. and should be there now only II
would be % cruel to put her there.
where abe would be SO dreadfully Ill.
treated. and have no opportunity Of
stealing silver dishes. When arrested
she pleaded her inability 10 resist the
temptation TO steal. Tho court, how
sver, bound her over for trial In the
sum OF 1900. II will probably not be
considered cruel to send the poor NO.
man to the House Of Correction for six
months.
The School Committee OF Boston
have made a dsplorabls blundsr. A
male infant eight years old has been IL.
hibited in that city. He has o wonder

schools; under the auspices Of the COM
mittos. When this poor oyer-crammed
morsel Of humanity dies. as he probably
will before long. II would DO well to
mako tho schools, teachers and all, at.
tend his funeral. AZ IN awful warning
against the attempt to put q quart into
q pint measure.
Tue railway superintendonts Of roads
running into Boston have refused TO sell
tickets at half price to persons in the
rural districts DESTROYS OF hearing Mr..
Moody preach and Mr.. Sanksy sing.
The objection made TO the plan was at
once lamentable and funny. It was
urged that business men would come to
the city on half.rate tickets under guise
Of going TO the tabernacle, and would
then go to their places Of business.
An Austrian consular agent has pub.
lished an account OF q new cotton plant
in Egypt. II bears on an average from
forty-flvs TO fifty pods, whereas the
usual plant averages from twenty-five to
thirty.ive. For sowing. smaller guam
tity Of the new seed Is required. Tho
only drawback to the new plant Ia that
II required moro water, and that tho soil
Is thereby impoverished.
TnH smaller cotton ports did better
this year than New Orleans. The total
receipts since the LIST Of September were
3,407. 92i bales. against 1926. 251 last
