The recent change of time has given rise to some interesting legal questions. A mo- tice for the examination of a poor debtor was issued by Conmissioner Jenkins, of Bos ton. returnable on Tuesday at nine o'clock in the forenoon. The debtor appeared at forty-eight minutes past nine by the present city time. By custom, to which is generally conceded the force of law, it ia understood for legal purposes in such case to be nine o'clock until 1t Is ten, so that appearance within the hour is compliance with the terms of the notice. The debtor. therefore, was within the customary limit, if proceed ings of that character are governed by the new time. But the commissioner said that the old time was the time for his office and refused to proceed with the reSaninaflon, holding that the debtor had failed to appear according to the notice, and must be default cd. It is said that the case will probably be brought before the Supreme court for final decision.

A very commendable plan is under discus sion in Cleveland. A number of wealthy gentlemen propose to establish series of lectures on hygiene, which will be popular in character and either free or open on a merely nominal fee. The ground to be covered in cludes the health and habits of the individual
 in dressing, eating, sleeping, exercising and bathing; the hygiene of the household, as for example, in regard to drainage, ventils- ton and heating; and municipal hygiene, relating to sewers, water supplies and street cleaning. This is an idea which ought to find favor with wealthy gentlemen in other ci ties than Cleveland.
 The investigation of the pension agencies in Washington has resulted in some queer and not very pleasant revelations. James Fl. Vermilyea is one of the ''pension attorneys'' who have been sending out glowing circulars to deceive the unwary. Search was made for
 him and it was found that he was shoemaker. He was found in his shirt sleeves with an apron and knife, and, like several workmen around him, busily
 engaged in making shoes. In reply to a
 question he said he was J. H. Vermilyea, and
 to further inquiry whether he was pension
 attorney he said he WAS. He answered fur
 ther that any friend could safely be referred
 to him to prosecute his claim; that he had
 blanks and that he would furnish those nec-
 esssry to the case. Thereupon he took of
 his apron, laid down his shoes and knife, and
 going up stairs, he soon returned with pen
 sion hlanks There was no attOrney's sign
 about the place, and nothing about the inner
 arrangements to indicate that MT. VermilJea
 had any other profession" than that of a
 shoemaker. His circulars are very decep-
 tive.
