THE trial and conviction of the dyna

THE trial and conviction Of the dyna
mite prisoners in England, coming as it
did on the same day that the Star Route
jury failed to find, is an instructive COM
ment on our delays and disagreements.
The evidence against. the prisoners was
strong and positive and the trial was
prompt, pointed and effective. No delay
was permitted by the introduction of
useless and irrelavent testimony. The
lawyers were not permitted to talk the
jury to death, and the court summed the
case up with such brevity and plainness
that the course of the jury was plain.
They acquitted the innocent men with
the same promptness that the guilty ones
were convicted. The result is that a
great crime committed less than three
months ago has been detected, the guilty
persons arrested, tried, convicted and
sentenced, and law is shown to be not a
mere trick for delay or acquittal, but,
which it should be, the power which
protects society from crime and its re-
suits.

come up for trial next Monday. Perhaps

utterly futile to hope for conviction
on any charge of stealing from the

has been tried again and again, resulting
with sickening uniformity in the acquit

evidence was of the most convincing

each failure has the effect of demoraliz-

of Longnecker were confident of his being
able to win, but those who knew George
best laughed at the idea, as they knew
him to be a strong, active young man,
and declared that he was staying back
for purpose and would show his hand at

succeeded in interesting her lively, fun
loving boys, so they preferred to remain at
home evenings instead of seeking amuse-
ment elsewhere. She said l remember

amusements. l fear that the adherence
with which some good parents regard any
play for children is the reason why child
rem go away for pleasure. Husband and l
used to read history, and at the end of
each chapter ask some questions, requiring
the answer to be looked up if not given
correctly. We follow similar plan with
the children sometimes we play one game,
and sometimes another, always planning
with books, stories, plays or treats of some
kind to make the evenings ct home more
attractive than they can be made abroad.

HOW TO SPLIT A SHEET OF PAPER.

1t is one of the most remarkable prop
critics of that wonderful product, paper,
that it can be split into two or even three
parts, however thin the sheet. We have
seen leaf of the Illustrated Ne,cs thus d.
vided into three parts, or three thin leaves.
One consisted of the surface On which the
engrsvings are printed another was the
side containing the letter press, and per.
fectly blank piece on each side was the pa,
per that lay between. Many people who
have not seen this done might think it i'm
possible; yet it is not only possible, but
extremely easy, as we shall show. Get a
piece of plate gisss aud place on it sheet
of paper then let the latter be thoroughly
soaked. With care and little dexserity
the sheet can be split by the top surface
being removed. But the best plan is TO
paste piece of cloth or strong paper TO
each side Of the sheet TO be split. When dry,
violently and without hesitation pull the two
be found TO have adhered to one and part
TO the other Soften the paste in water
and the pieces can be easily removed from
the cloth. The process is generally demon
strated rs matter of curiosity. yet it can
be utilized in various ways. Ii we want to
paste in a scrap-book newspaper article
printed on both sides OF the paper, and
possess only one copy, it is very convenient
to know how to detach the one side from
the other. The paper, when split, as may
be imagined, is more transparent than it
vas before being subjected to the opera
ton, and the printing ink is somewhat
5uller otherwise the two pieces present
the appearance of the original if again
brought together. Some time ago the in
formation OF how to do this splitting was
advertised to be sold for considerable
