Pills I'm France.
[Pall Mall Gazette I

French Holloways. if they do not be-
come millionaires, at least do very
fourishing trade. One of the most
curious sights of the kind is the famous
pill manufactory of Dion, founded
many years ago by aDijonnais chemist,
who invented or introduced in that city
pill-making by machinery. A note
worthy feature in this commerce is that
depression of trade, bad seasons, and
even national calamities. do not affect
the sale of pills. People-at any rate,
French peop,e-will not give up these
delicacies, however hard the times may
be and however much economy they
are obliged to exercise in other matters.
The quantity of pills taken in France
must be enormous, Judging from the
activity displayed at the Dion manufac-
tory. We have known one French
lady alone to spend s40 year upon
pills, which, it must be admitted, can
be had in great variety. Tar,
camphor, castor oil, these are
among the family pills, and they
are got up in the neatest and most at
tractive manner. The capsules have
an envelope of slightly sweetened gela-
tine, and when bottled ready for sale
look more like sweetmeats than any
thing else. Perhaps the agreeableness
of their medicines is the reason why
French people from childhood upward
are SO good tempered.

Reversing the Old Maxim.

Judge John A. Jameson in a recent con-
tribUtion to The North American Review
says that of the things necessary to be done
to save our civilization, the first and most
important is to cause complete change of
attitude on the part of society toward wrong
doing What is now the attitude maintainedl
1t is one either of indifference, liberation or
connivance, or one suggestive of paralysis of
the power of Indignation and of every
faculty needed for the repression of crime.
Toward the criminal the attitude of the
public is that Of weak pity, not unmingled
with admiration. The criminal is an unfor-
tunate man, to save whom from punishment
seems to be the chief end of the law.
Look for moment at his trial in a court
of justice. The jury, carefully selected for
their ignorance, are made judges of both
law and fact: to convict they must be unani-
nous: if they have a reasonable doubt of
guilt they must acquit; they are themselves
to determine what is a reasonable doubt;
and, to crown all, they are instructed that it
is better that ten guilty men should escape
than one innocent man should be punished.
These rules and maxims, devised centuries ago
by merciful judges, then met the ends of
justice, since, as the laws were, as against
the crown officers seeking to convict, per-
son accused had no chance of acquittal, for
he was allowed neither counsel nor witnesses;
but now they operate to screen the guilty
from punishment, save in the few cases
where there is general cry vfor vengeance
against some atrocious offender.
The maxim about the ten guilty men is
pressed upon juries by every felon's lawyer,
as the great safeguard of private rights. In
truth, however, the interests of justice would
be best served by making thread: at is better
that ten innocent men should suffer than that
one guilty man should escape" We're that
declared to be the policy of the law, juries
would be made to feel, not that the innocent
were less deserving than before of acquittal,
but that the guilty were a hundred times
more deserving OF conviction and punish
ment; and the results would be most salutary.
In not one case in million could an innocent
man suffer, and hardly one in thousand of
the guilty, instead of three out of four, as
now, would escape.

A Unique Volume.

Boston Herald.
A valuable addition has just been
made to the Concord public library by
the purchase of manuscript volume,
prepared by Mr.. George Tolman, of
that town, containing an exact copy of
eli the inscriptions on the gravestones
and tablets in the two older burial
grounds of Concord. The inscriptions
are copied, line for line and letter for
letter, with all the peculiarities of spell
ing and punctuation which appear on
the stones, and with even the form of
the letters preserved. Several of the
stones are over 200 years old, and are
sunk in the ground, and so covered with
moss, as to render the inscriptions
nearly undecipherable. The labor of
transcribing these epitaphs has been
great, and has occupied Mr.. Tolman's
leisure for a number of years. The vol
ume is large record book of about five
hundred pages, beautifully executed, and
contains, beside the inscriptions, large
amount of genealogical notes carefully
arranged and indexed. The value of
this unique work will increase with
years, and it will doubtless be con-
sidered, in century or two from this
time, the most precious treasure in the
possession of the library. The book
will be preserved in the safe of the
library building, and its use guarded
with the utmost care.

How Much English People Write.

There is q well-known story of a
woman in the lake district whom Cole
ridge befriended by the payment of a
shilling for her letter, and who, when
the postman was out of sight, explained
that her son had arranged to write to
her in blank letters, which she should
refuse, by way of letting her know that
he was we'll, and at the same time saving
the postage. Marks and names on
newspapers, which might be franked
without the owners consent, were also
employed to convey messages. It is
therefore not surprising to find that, in
the year before the introduction of the
new postage, each person on the aver
age wrote only three letters in the
course of the year. In the following
year the average was seven; it is now
thirty-six. In 1889 there were 82,000,-
900 lett6 rs posted, of which about one
in every thirteen was franked. In 1910,
the circulation rose to 169, 100000, al
though franking was abolished.
At the present time it has reached
the astonishing total of 1,260,000,0 900.
It will perhaps be gratifying to the
pride of Englishmen to learn that not
withstanding the boasted superior edu-
cation of Scotland, each member of the
community there write on the average
thirty-one letters in the year, while in
England and Wales the number is
forty-one; in Ireland only seventeen.
But increased letter correspondence is
only one item in the growth of the
postofice Postcards did not exist in
1889; they are wholly new invention
within the memory of all of US. Their
circulation now exceeds 144000,000
In addition, 288,000,0O0 of books,
packets and circulars, and 100000 900
of newspapers, passed through the post
in the year, making total of more
than 1,852,000,000 of packets of one
kind and another. The increase in the
circulation during single year is now
nearly equal to the total number Of
letters carried by the DEP I'm mt il
1889.

How and Where Malaria Thrives.
Popnlar Sciauca

The health officers OF New Britain.
Conn.,, have made an instructive report
concerning the prevalence of malarial
diseases in that town, and their con-
nectIon with certain supposed causes.
The causes of malarial and other
miasmatic diseases are not identical,
though they are similar, and the two
classes not infrequently occur in a
given locality at the same time; and
the hygienic measures re Iuired to pre-
vent them all are the same.
The essential conditions for the de-
velopment of malaria appear to be: the
presence OF the malarial germ; high
temperature and dry atmosphere; and
favorable conditions of the soil; and
the absence of either of them will sus-
pend or prevent the action of the
poison. We have power only over the
third condition. GA generous rain in
the vicinity has, we think, invariably
suspended its action. And yet a
previous condition of moisture is essen
tial to its manifestation. All deposits
of vegetable matter, such as muck,
sink-drainage, heaps of decaying
vegetable matter, or even wet, spoE gy
land, furnish the essentials for it's sup
port; but it is requisite that the soil
shall have been very wet, or covered
with water some portions of the year.
A generous crop of grass. and per-
haps of other vegetable substance, has
been known to prevent malaria. In
1870 nearly all the families in the
ne.ghborhood of some lots which were
largely deposit of muck, had malaria.
The lots were plowed, dragged, and
sowed with grass-seed, and the appear
ance of the crop of grass and weeds
was attended by a disappearance of
chills and fever. Two or three other
instances are mentioned in the same
town in which fever and-ague was ban
ished by giving a similar treatment to
tracts of swampy and mucky soil.
Another case is specified where
malaria was prevented by the drying
up of the sewerage and sink water
which usually found its outlet through
a system of bitches cut in muck. Prepa-
rations were making to lay tiles in
the bitches and fill them up, but before
this was done heavy rain washed
them out, and "caused the prevailing
sickness to abate as Suddenly as it had
commenced" From the first, malaria
has not prevailed in those parts of the
city where vegetable deposits and filth
have been absent, and the health of the
streets in which sewers have been laid
has been remarkably good.

A MODESTO MANS LUCK.
He Wins a Portion OF the S25, 900
Prize in the Louisiana state Lot


terry.
ISan Francisco tCal.) Chronicle April 20th.J
Within the past two or three months
large prizes of the Louisiana State lottery
have been awarded in this State, notably
that drawn by Thomas Kichener-the cap
ital prize of $75, ,O00-and the $4,000 prize
won by John Martel, C. p. Robbins and G..
w. Bumm. And now comes the drawing
of the second capital prize of $4,000 Of
| which lsiaor Isaacs, of Modesto, has been
awarded 5000. Mr.. Isaaes was in this
city the other day, and said in conversa-
tion, that there was a peculiar circum-
stance in relation to his securing the lucky
ticket.
I'm the first place." said he, 81 sent to
San Francisco for ticket in the Louisiana
State lottery, inclosing 81. [ received no
| answer to my letter and SO wrote again,
inquiring about it. The agent replied that
| he had sent the ticket by mistake to Isidor
Cohn, but that might call at the postef-
flee and get the letter, as the ticket be-
longed to me. / went to the postoffice and
did not find any letter there for Isidor
Cohn, and therefore wrote again to the
agent, requesting him to either send nae
another ticket or refund my money"
(Which did he do?"
''He sent me the ticket numbered 58, 29S,
for April Sth drawing lucky one-and
right glad | am that the mistake was
| received a dispatch, stating that I had
won $4,000 prize,
What We're your sensations on receiv-
ing the news|
'Well, guess I felt about as any poor
man does who suddenly comes into pos
session of good round sum of money like
/ that. [ first turned hot and then cold, and
then came a sudden conviction that the dis
patch was not authentic. So telegraphed
to my brother who works in clothing
store in San Francisco, to go to the agent
and see if had really won the prize. He
did so, and on receiving word from him
that it was all right, l made lively jump
for my gripsack, boarded the train, and,
on arriving in the city, made bee-line
for the agents office after my $5,000."
J. Boas cashed the check for the lucky
man, who left the city for Modesto in high
glee, after having feasted and wined him
self and friends to their hearts content.
Mr.. Isaacs is a clothing store keeper in
Modesto, and has seen some pretty hard
struggles to maintain himself and keep
up his business, under heavy competition
there, but he is satisfied that, with the
present comfortable addition to his little
capital, he will be able to increase his
stock and trade and become successful
merchant in that thriving town.

No Chance to Rectlfy mistakes.

When was young man there lived
in our neighborhood farmer who was
usually reported to be very liberal
man, and uncommonly upright in his
dealings. When he had any of the pro-
duce of his farm to dispose of he made
it an invariable rule to give good
measure rather more than would be
required of him. One of his friends,
observing him frequently doing SO,
questioned him as to why he did it; he
