A SPANISH lady of high degree has beru

being concerned in u bank robbery. Her nuns

in ls75 she opened hank in Madrid, aud pail
such an enormously high rate of interest thRk
she soon had heaps OF money in bor tills. She
paid the interest regularly for several months.
but one morning in May, 1915, she disappeared,
leaving a deficit Of over 100000 reals. Since
then the police have searched for her in vain
tin the other day, when she was found living
with her sister IN the Pare dos Princes.

Here is a rule for getting u ripe one that is
said to be iniallible: Wien the melon begins
to change color inside and Its seeds to turn
black, a small black speck or blister begins to
appear on the outor rind. These are multiplied
aud enlarged as the fruit natures In fully
ripcned melon they are thckly sirewn over
the surface. In row of 100 melons spread
along the sidewalk not more than fve or six
fully ripe ones win often be found.

and sentence man accused, IN an English
court, of murder in the first degree. Within

prosecution and the defeise, listened to a pro-
tracted charge from the judge, saw the jury
returning with verdict, and heard sentence
pronounced. Yet the London Times, In ita
