The Case of Mary Flood.

Mary Flood was a comely young Irish
woman, unfaithful to her husband. On
Sunday morning Flood, maddened by
finding his wife in another mans apart
ments, pursued her with the first weapon
he could lay his hands upon, an iron
reamer, and killed her on the threshold
of the home she had dishonored. The wo-
man is dead and the murderer afterward
gave himself up to justice, his own con-
science being his pursuer.
Almost similar history of misery and
crime has Just reached it's elimination in
Philadelphia. -Four years ago beautl-
full girl of respectable parentage was
tempted from her home to q career of
vice. During these four years her
brother, decent, honorable, middle
aged man, has followed her in vain,
striving with tenderness, arguments, ap-
peals of every kind, to bring her back to
q pure life. The woman's nature was
hopelessly corrupted. If she returned
for a season, temptation was waiting
near at hand, and she fell again each
time lower than before. The brother
was driven by grief and shame at last to
drink, and few weeks ago, while crAzed
with rage and liquor he discovered this
poor Alice, who had been SO dear to him
in his childhood, in m Infamous house,
and shot her through the heart. So this
woman also is dead. Another innocent,
happy home is held up to public shame,
stained indelibly with crime and blood.
The brother, "whose load" as the Judge
said while sentencing him, chad been
heavier than many men are called upon
to BEAR" is condemned to wear out the
best years of his life in the penitentiary.
The seducer can read the story at his
ease in the morning paper, quite satisfied
that there is no point where the crude,
cropping fingers of the law can touch him.
Even public opinion has no heavier pun
ishment for him than half amused re-
buke.
The law and society provide prompt
remedies for the injuries inflicted by
blows with iron clubs or pistol shots !;
but of hurts which go down into the soul
and life, corrupting the one and running
the other, they have no cognizance.
Hence it may be in place even for a
merely secular journal to remind its
readers now and then that there is a
reality more mighty and enduring than
crime in tenement houses or it's punish
ment in courts ; q wider, more stable life,
in which the errors of this perplexed
world will be set right in calm and GER
ta;nty.-N. Y. Tribune.

There was a little pause, when the

A Constitutional Amendment.

Representative Maish, Of Pennsylva-
MIA, introduced in the United States
House n constitutional amendment en-
bodying rather cumbrous but ingenious
plan for dividing the mass vote Of State
for President by the number of electoral
votes possessed by the State, and credit
ing to each candidate his share of the
electoral votes of such State obtained on
the basis of the electoral average reached
by the division of the mass vote. For
example, let the mass vote of New York
be 100000; this divided by thirty
three would, in round numbers, give 3d.
900 as the electoral average. The Hayes
vote divided by this average would have
shown sixteen electoral votes for the Re-
publican candidate, and the Tilden vote
SO divided would have given the remain
ing seventeen votes to the Democrats.
The plan has at least the merit of insur-
ing q certain recognition to minorities.

Ancient Gardens Of Michigan.

At the late meeting OF the Michigan
Pioneer Society in Lansing, Mr.. Bella
Hubbard, of Detroit, read paper on the
"Ancient Gardens of Michigan" The
first descriptions of the remains of these
gardens, he said, was made by School
craft in 1927. They are relics cnval, ap-
parently, with mound building. John
T. Blois, in 1889, again mentions them,
and later writer mentions them as being
found along the shore of Lake Michigan.
In Cass, st. Joseph and Kalamazoo
counties these garden beds have been
numerously found. They consist OF beds
from five to fifteen feet wide, sixteen to
one hundred feet long, and about eight
cen inches high. These beds are regu-
larly arranged, with paths between them,
and while some are as narrow as five feet,
others are as wide as sixteen feet. Mr..
Hubbard had charts representing the
forms of these beds, which he explained to
the audience. Some plats have been drawn
by Schoolcraft. He says the plats upon
which these beds are found are from
twenty to three hundred acres i'll extent.
Gardens of this kind were found by the
early settlers of Cass county, Kalamazoo,
Prairie Ronde, Burr Oak, and many
others. Old settlers say that the beds
which they have sem are about five feet
wide, and are regularly laid out through
out the plats. There have been found
eight different kinds of beds most OF
them are rectangular, some circular in
form. These beds denote some species
of cultivation, and were undoubtedly the
work of people who inhabited the country
prior to the Indians. The Indians cul-
tivated only maize, and this was not
grown regularly in rows. Historians
tell us that the Aztecs had gardens, in
which they cultivated various plants for
medicinal uses, as well as for ornament.
Was there not something analogous to
this in the Michigan natives? Did the
latter also have botanical gardens ? These
extensive indications of ancient culture
necessarily imply settled and populous
community. All testimony agrees that
almost none of the usual aboriginal relics
were found, no pottery, no spears, no
arrow heads. and no implements OF stone,
not even the omnipresent pipe. Tumuli
OF burial mounds of the red man are not
uncommon, though not numerous, in
western Michigan, but have no recognized
association with the garden race. There
are no traces of dwellings and there is
nothing to indicate their homes. 1t
seems strange that these garden beds
should be the only remains of o people
who inhabited and cultivated the earth.
1t is evident that they were peaceful, and
to some extent cultivated, civilized, and
scientific people. The date of the aban-
donment of these beds may be deter
mined to some extent by the age of trees
which have grown upon them. One
writer finds that tree grown upon one OF
these beds was over three hundred years
old, but how long they were abandoned
before the tree started cannot be known.
The tools used by them were evidently
of wood and have decayed, and every
thing relating to them must be left to
conjecture.

The Famine in India.

A correspondent of the London Times,
writing from Madura, says:
"But the saddest feature of all is the
condition of the human inhabitants of
this great peninsula. will simply re-
count what I know and testify of what I
have seen with my own eyes in the capi-
tai of this presidency.
"Only a fortnight ago saw many
thousands of poor famine driven crea-
lures from the villages round Madras
collected on the shore and Oh the pier.
They were crowding round the sacks of
rice grain, with which the sands for at
least n mile were thickly covered and al
most concealed from view, the grain
bags being often piled up in mounds to
the height of fifteen feet or twenty feet.
"Yet no onslaught was made on the
grain. A few men scattered about,
armed with canes, were guarding the
sacks for the merchants who owned
them, and were sufficient to prevent any
attempts at depreciation, though here
and there 1 detected slureptitious
efforts, not so much to make incisions,
as to enlarge any happy defects already
apparent in the material which inclosed
the coveted food.
"What generally happened was this !:
Very few of the grain bags were SO we'll
made as to make any leakage impossi-
BILE, and sprinklings of rice were thus
scattered about everywhere The
knowledge of this circumstance was the
cause of the vast concourse of miserable
half starved emaciated creatures who
had walked many miles to the spot.
Men and women, old and young, even
cripples, mothers with infants on their
hips, and naked children-all more or
less pitiable in their leanness and in
their hard-set aspect of misery-were
earnestly engaged in cleaning up every
grain that escaped from the sacks on the
pier and on the shore"

A Matrimonial Machine.

Parson Dean, who married Mary Knox
to somebody in Carmel, N. Y, has, it is
understood, invented and constructed
machine for his office which marries
visitors and takes their photographs 81
multaneously. John Merritt insists
that he hasn't been married to anybody;
the parson is not quite certain who oftici-
ated as bridegroom; Mary Knox is all
ailrift, and has dragged her alleged hus.
band to court; but the new machine will
fix future identity beyond doubt. The
candidates, having made known their
wishes, are admitted to an unoccupied
room, where each is firmly seized by the
arm and ankle, and backed calmly, but
irresistibly against headrest upholster:
ed on the wall. There is now no chance
for either to escape. In this position
the bridegroom nnconsciously steps Oh a
lever, which swings a camera into posi-
ton at the other end of the room.
The parson hereupon enters, assumes
an easy but vigilant position at the cam
era, and takes out his watch. The fol-
lowing trialogue ensues:
Parson-" You desire to be united in
the holy bonds Of matrimony?"
N. M.-"We do"
Bridegroom-"C Can't you loosen these
manacles moment? They pinch"
Parson- regret my inability to &C
cede to this request. 1t is my only pro-
lection against fraud. Please remove
your veil, madam. Join right hands.
Look steadily at this nail in the parti-
tion. Smile tenderly. You do solemnly
promise to love, wink rs much as you're
mind to, cherish and protect the per-
son, don't stir, whom you now hold by
the right hand, steady, steady, never
mind the fly, as long as you both shall
live; therefore, in the presence of these
witnesses, don't twitch your ear, sir, l
pronounce youman and wife. Twenty !
Time up. Very well DONE"
The parson then politely touches the
lever and releases them from the trap.
He writes the certificate on the back of
the photograph, and files away the
negative. Parson Dean doesn't mean to
be caught out again.-Nc,o York Sun.

Beautify yOur Homes.

It is astonishing to see the lack of
taste around many village and farm
houses, and their owners seem to think
that it is money thrown away to beautify
their houses; but let them offer their
places for sale, and then they will realize
the difference between house without
paint or with one coat in lifetime, with
no blinds, no pleasant door-yard, no
tasty fences around the house, no shade
trees, no fruit trees, no beds of flowers,
no climbing vines up the porches, no
garden worthy of the name, no snug,
well painted outhouses, no nicely gravel
ed walks; but in their places we often
find dwelling, out of repair, outhouses
in n state of decay, fences in poor condi-
ton, and the general appearance of the
place repugnant to our feelings. We see
the old sign: "This place for sale, !"
hanging OH an old tree, with barely q
leaf upon it. Here it has hung for
many years, and there it will continue to
hang, probably till the owner goes into
lis grave. Nobody wants to buy such q
forlorn looking "home y and people in
search of country place pass on till
they see another sign: "This place for
sale" and here they find order, taste
and neatness prevailing-a beautiful cot
tage, or other style of house, outbuild-
ings in perfect repair, fences neat and in
good order, shade trees abundant, fruit
trees loaded with apples, pears, peaches,
plums and cherries. In the well planned
garden they find an abundance of straw
berries, raspberries, c1rrants, gooseber-
ries, ounces and grapes; and the place
suits them and they purchase it. Now,
this place cost but little more than the
one they passed, in regard to it's adorn-
ments. What was done to beautify it
was done by degrees, and the expense
was never felt as amounting to much,
and SO it always is with people who COM
mence to lay out their homes in the right
manner
