Prospects ia New Zealand.

An Article in Modern Thought
on " New Zealand as a source Of
Food Supply" contains the following
passage. +.
1" The late discovery Of the process of
refrigeration, however, by which fresh
meat and butter or cheese can be made a
profitable export, even to the most distant
point on the globe, will act as an incentive
to a greater production Of cattle, and will
stimulate the industry of the colony III
new directions. l refer especially to the
production of butter and cheese, for which
New Zealand, with its even climate and
it's rich growth of all the English grasses
and ~clovers, is especially adapted. 1t has
never vet grown beyond the limits OF CO.
lOnial requirements, because neither the
butter nor the cheese would stand the
trial of a voyage through the tropics as
ordinary cargo in the close hold of a mer-
chant ship. The New Zealand cOlOniSts
are fully alive to the advantages which
they are likely to reap from this new dis
cOvery. In every part of the colony, COM
panieS are started and the means sub
scribed to give the process a fair trial,
and as several of the regular trading ships
are now being fitted with the refrigerating
appliances, we may expect, il the first ex-
detrimental shipments prove successful,
that New Zealand mutton, butter, and
cheese will soon find their way to English
dinner tables and as the extent of pro-
duction, in a new country like New Zea-
land, very much depends on the profits
arising from it, a large additional capital
will undoubtedly be forthcoming for the
purpose of turning a large proportion of
the fertile lands, nov lying uncultiva-
ted and un~productive, into pastures for
more cattle and additional millions of
sheep"

mer Of whose medical character he
did not feel secure. If aconitine had
beer procured by the deceased him
self, or BY any member of Mr.. Bed
brooks household, there would have
been no difficulty in proving the pur-
chase; for II is n Of the advantages
OF the publicity of English juris.
prudence that it always brings
to light facts of such a nature.
There is, therefore, no escape from
the conclusion that the deceased was
poisoned by aconitine, and that the
aconitine was administered to him by
the prisoner; and the only doubt
which could remain is whether the
administration was designed or acct
dental. In favour of the former be-
lief there is the motive, pitiably small
as it seems, of release from pecuniary
embarrassment and against the latter
there is the fact Of the deadly poten-
cy Of the agent, which would render
it second nature for any medically
educated person to dispose Of it in
such a manner that no accident could
possibly arise. The prisoner would
know that tie quantity of aconitine
which he purchased at Allen and
Hanbury's would be enough to deS-
troy the lives Of forty people; and to
use such a powerful poison ~carelessly,
so that it might be introduced into a
capsule by accident would be scarcely
less criminal than its deliberate adj
min;stration. The case is a valuable
illustration Of what cannot be too
widely known and remembered
namely, that Reproduction IF death by
poison is one of the most perilous
forms of murder and that prisoners,
if they do for a time escape, w
their immunity chiefly to want Of OBJ
servation on the part Of those by
whom their victims are attended.
Even when undertaken by an expert,
and by a poison little known beyond
the limits Of the medical profession,
the crime leaves traces distinctly legi-
BILE to those who will be at the trouble
of looking for them, and the convic-
ton of Lamson, by bringing this
truth into prominence, may contribute
to the safety Of many lives which his
acquittal would have placed in peril.

Office would not be disputed, there
could scarcely be a doubt of the Ill
innate decision. The crime had, in
deed, been so clumsily planned as
almost to insure the detection of the
perpetrator; and it might have been
plausibly contended that no one pos
sessed of medical knowledge, even
to a very moderate extent, would
have been likely to administer SO
powerful a poison as acoritine in a
manner which must necessarily con-
meet it with his presence. The career
of the prisoner, however, had been of
such a kind as to add to the many
examples which show that a tendency
to criminality is often associated with
shortsightedness and folly. Circum-
stances in his history, which were not
referred to by the pros .%cution, al
though sufficiently we'll known, were
calculated to show an inconsiderate-
ness in minor offences of a kind strict
ly analogous to that which was dis
played in the crime bv which his
life has been forfeited. On going to
Bournemouth to practice, Lamson set
forth that he was a Doctor of Nedi-
cine Of the London University, a IL
c%entiate of the Royal College of
Physicians Of London, and the holder
of a Cambridge degree in science,
whereas his only claim to be a mcdi-
cal practitioner at all was derived
from a license granted in 1877 by two
Edinburgh corporations, Not on
tent with claiming the abovenamed
distinctions in conversation, he at
tempted to register them, with the
natural result that the officials Of the
Medical Registration Office discovered
the fraud, and were probably the
channels through which it became
known at Bouruemouth, where, before
the death of Percy John, the prisoner
was expelled from, the local medical
society for the offence of assuming
titles to which he had no claim. The
absence Of scrupulousncss exhibited in
this business would in a ne|ighbouring
country have been recorded in the
dcte d Accusation and laid before the
jury in support Of the belief that the
poison who would commit such an
offence would be likely to commit
graver offences also and the absence
OF skill, the false pretence being one
which could not escape detection, as
sists to explain the cIumsiness Of the
act of poisoning Of which he has now
been found guilty.
According to the evidence, the de-
ceased, Percy John, although para
Used and helpless in his lower limbs
in consequence OF spinal curvature,
was in all other respects strong and
healthy and, except for occasional
depression of spirits, was cheerful
and contenteI. On the day of his
death he had partaken of ordinary
meals of a simple character in the
company Of his schoolfellows and
other persons, and neither he nor they
displayed any appearance of having
suffered from anything which they
had eaten or drunk; the time which
had elapsed since the last meal hay-
ing been more than enough for the
development of symptoms arising
from any nOis0n Of sufficient DOtpnCv

and. as soon as it was swallowed,
prepared to make a hasty departure.
Twenty minutes or so afterwards
the deceased was attacked by pain
in the stomach, which he at first
called heartburn, and which, he com.
pared to pain which he had expert
enced on a former occasion, when
the prisoner had given him what
p~rolessed to be a q%uinine pill. From
this time forward the SYMPTOMS steadi-
Iy increased in severity, and in about
four hours, Notwithstanding all that
the Woodworking medical men could
do for their relief, they terminated in
death. There was thus a clear and
un5roken chain Of circumstances TO
connect the last thing swallowed by
the deceased with the presence of
the prisoner ON the one hand, and
with the occurrence of the fatal
symptoms on the other; so that,
apart altogether from Lams0n's CUNT
or innocence, and admitting the pos
$ bility Of the poisoning having been
accidental, ii could not be doubted,
first, that poisoning had occurred,
and, next, that the deadly dose had

Buying Real Estate.

| AS a rule, when real estate man hears
the fairy-like steps of female at his Of
| flee door he naturally is seized with a
| cold chill because that wise eacher, ex-
perience, has taught him that he has
hard row to hoe. He foresees that he
will neither sell anything nor even sue
coed in finding anything on his books
that she will even look at. He cannot
be rude; but if he knows what's good for
himself, he will smile complacently and
and remark" Well, we haven't anything
at present. Madam, that we think would
be good enough for YOU This is fiat
tering, and may head her off; but not al
ways. Generally they want &c. 900

impossible to obtain one for less than
$40 900, and the number of peculiar fea-
lures the house must possess is marvel.

that is, she expects "all cash" is such a
wonderful inducement in these flush
times that a seller ought to give her
half off for cash.

into an Office the other day in state of
excitement. The bald-headed partner
jumped up and thought he recognized

A MOnOtOnOus Life.

The fact that large proportion of
farmers wives become insane is due not
so much to over work as to the monotony
of their lives. Many a woman who is in
a comfortable house, surrounded by
highly cultivated land, is almost an
automaton, so far as the acts of her daily
life are concerned. Her life was mapped
out for her completely on the day she
entered the farmhouse bride, with the
exception of such slight events as the
birth and possible death of children.
While her husband goes about the
country to transact business she stays at
home, refreshing herself by piecing
bed quilt. When he sits down in the
evening to enjoy bis pipe and his agrl-
cultural paper, to which perhaps he has
contributed some article on sheep hus-
bandry, or the most approved method of
onion raising, she sits by his side, busy
with her knitting work, or with carpet
rag-cutting, wondering meanwhile how
she will be able to get money enough to
buy the warp. For he is the head of the
house, and doles out the money for the
mere necessities OF life with drudging
hand. It would be an unwarrantable
sweeping assertion to say that this is true
of all farm lives. Many farmers house
is as nearly the true ideal home as any in
the land; but it is true too often. No
wonder that SO many country women
lose their freshness and beauty before
thew are FORTY.

o Purchasable Health.

A writer in Scribner's Monthly, on the
subject of "Purchasable HEALTH" offers
some timely observations which over
worked business men would do we'll to
heed. Money" he says, twill not pur-
chase health out of season; but health is
to be had for money under proper condi-
TONS" There are thousands of men in
every city who are bankrupting them
selves in health. Colonel Scott carried
his burden so long that the 81 600. 900
he had won had no power to bring back
the health he had parted with; but there
were undoubtedly times in his life when
by the proper expenditure Of money and
time, he could have brought health
enough to last him brace of decades
longer, and to enable him to double the
number Of millions for his heirs. Money
can buy health in two ways. 1t may en-
able the possessor of it to set aside part
of each day for recreation, or it may JUS
tify him in giving up two months
of every year to solicit rest.
The same writer shreVedly observes:
''There is hsllucination cher
ished by . great multitude, and they
must be constantly in their own bust
ness, or it cannot possibly go on pros
perously. Some of these men are so un-
fortunately organized that they cannot
believe that anybody living can do their
work a. we'll as they can do it. 1t takes
an enormous self-conceit to come to such
= conclusion as this, and there is great
misfortune in it. OF course, these men
are never able to leave their work for n
moment in other hands, and so they be-
come the bond slaves of their own mis-
take. Now, there is nothing in which a
great business man shows his greatness
so signally as in his ability to find men
10 do his work--to find competent in
struments to execute his purposes. The
greatest business man is always q man
Of comparative leisure. His own work
ID always deliberately done. 1t is, as .
rule, the ANAL man who never gets .
moment, and Who never can And pair
OF hands q good ~ his own. II . man
cannot leave his business, or thinks he
cannot. be shows that he lacks the high
ct grade u business capacity.
