A Calcutta criminal was recently
allowed to address the crowd from the
scaffold. He turned to them and in a
loud voice thundered out: "All those
within the sound of my voice listen to
unyslast dying speech and confession.

i'm Japan the wife has no lord or
master but her husband therefore she
must do his bidding and not repine. The
rule which women must observe is obe-
dience. When the wife converses with
her husband she must do 80 with smiling
face and humble word and not be rude.
This is the principal duty of women;
the wife must obey the husband in all
that he orders her to do, and when he is
angry she must not resist but obey. All
women shall think their husbands to be
heaven. so they must not resist their
husbands and incur the punishment OF
heaven.
"A workman named PerrOux had
been condemned by the Correctional
Tribunal of Paris to eight days. impris-
onment for having forcibly kissed an
English governess in the street. The
man appealed, and the Advocated Gen
eral, in the name of the Government,
said that the punishment was excessive,
and that the case ought never to have
been brought into court. The Court OF
Appeal took no account of these remarks,
and confirmed purely and simply the
sentence Of the Correctional Tribunal,
and severely moralized the prisoner into
the bargain, telling him that it was not
allowed to kiss woman by force in the
public street, seven if the woman were
an English governess!" s5...
sl2-A curious provision Of the criminal
code of Germany, for which there is no
analogy in English or American leglsla-
ton. makes deliberate homicide, where
it is perpetrated at the request of the
victim, a lesser grade of crime than
murder, and places it within the discre-
ton of the courts to impose as low a
sentence as three years imprisonment
for the offense. Under this law mill
er's apprentice of Berlin has just been
sentenced for cutting his wife's throat.
He was out of work and money, and he
and his wife formed the resolution to
commit suicide together by taking
poison. His wife, however, drained the
cup containing the mixture alone, leav-
ing none for him, and after while beg
ged him to kill her at once, to put an
end to the suffering that ensued. He
complied with her request by making
several gashes in her throat. This state
of facts was deemed sufficient to war
rant sentence of only four years i'm
prisonment.

lage of Obrowitz, which assembled from
all parts of the adjacent country in front
of the. village church, firmly impressed
with the belief that the devil was at that
moment in person lodged within the
sacred edifce, and anxious to get a
glimpse of him. The priest tried in vain
to persuade them that they were mis-
taken. His exhortatiens were greeted
with jeers and laughter, and with the
derisive cry that he was willing to
show the devil to the rich members OF
his flock, but not to the poor ones. AT
ter several hours of disorderly demon
strations the report spread that the devil
had left the Obrowitz church, and was
then lurking in the church of the neigh
boring village of Brunn. Immediately
a lsrge crowd of peasants set out for
that place, and during the rest of the
day. a strong force of police had its
hands full in restraining the mob. The
Brunn church had to be locked and bar
red, and the street closed to traffic.
