. Granite Tests.

Comparative tests of the granite Of
New England and Minnesota, instituted
by Prof. Winchell, with view to deter
mine their crushing strength, exhibit
some surprising differences. The pieces
employed for the purpose were two
inch cubes unpublished, and, crushed be-
tween wooden cushions, the average
strength of twenty specimens of Mime
sofa granite was found to be 1872
pounds, or 26,3lS pounds per square
inch; crushed between steel plates, the
average strength was 104,S0O pounds,
or $4,000 pounds to the square inch OF
surface. The average obtained for the
same number of specimen of New Eng
land granite was 59,7o5 pounds, or Ia,
1856 pounds per square inch. The age
of Minnesota GRANTEES is archan; tina,

Poisonous Stockings.

New YORK, Nov. 25.--Dr. Cyrus Edison,
of the Sanitary Bureau, was informed sew
eral days ago that a number of children
had been poisoned by wearing i'm.
ported wooden stockings of bright red
color. The legs of the children were
covered with a rash which indicated
that the dye used in the stockings
contained antmony. DR.. Edison ascer-
tanned tina, the stockings were made in Sax.
ony. Prof. Waller, the Health Department
chemist analysed the coloring matter and
found that the dye contained enough anti
mony and arsenic to injure the skin of a
child. The antimony, DR.. Edison stated,
was used to set the color and keeps it from
washing cut.

The Florida Medical and Surgical
Journal says that this year consump-
tives are seeking localities apart from
the thickly populated cities. Many of
them are going to the high pine lands
in the central and western parts of the
State, these being peculiarly adapted to
this class of invalds on account of their
dry atmosphere and equable tempera-
ture. But even there patients must live
circumspectively and temporarily.

The once mighty Euphrates seems
likely to disappear altogether, accord
ing to the Times of India. For some
years past the river banks below Baby
lon have been giving way so that the
stream spread out into a marsh, until
steamers could not pass, and only mar
row channel remained for the native
boats. Now this passage is becoming
obliterated, and unless matters improve
the towns on the banks will be ruined,
and the famous river itself will be swal.

When there was a family congress at Darn

HohenzOllern, second daughter of the Crown
Prince of Germany; but his pretensIons were
promptly and scOrnfully snnfed out, and he
was given to understand that he must not
presume to seek bride at Berlin. The
Queen ts believed to have strongly supported
his suit, and she was exceedingly angry at his
summary dismissal. 1t is utterly impOss BILE
to suppose that the Prince and Princess Of
Wales would sanction such a marriage for
their eldest daughter, but shall not be sur

/ Representative Brantley's bill, which
was defeated in the House last Tuesday,
( does not appear to have received the con-
! sideration to which it was entitled. La
the minds OF many who have gwen the
subject careful consideration it has
/ been question whether public
| hangings do not have bad
effect upon majority of those who wit
ness them. Take, for instance, the hang
ings in this state. What is their effect
upon the thousands OF ignorant negroes
who gather at them? Is it good or
is it brutalizing? Does the scene pre-
sented by the scahold ana its victim tend
10 cause decrease in the crime Of muir
der ana other crimes of violence by
exciting fear OF the penalties attached 70
them, or does it tend TO produce inditier-
ence?
There are those who contend that the
effect is to produce Indifference TO punish
ment, because IN, perhaps, the majority OF
cases the murderer declares that he is
repentent, has received forgiveness Of his
sins and has no fear Of death. The sing
ing, prayers and the responses by the
crowd rob the hanging in the eyes OF those
present OF a great deal Of its terror. The
murderer dies happy, apparently, and
without much pain. The tragedy, as
seen, does not appear half SO terrible rs it
would be imagined if 1t took place in
private To check crime it would be bet
ter, therefore, for the executions to be
private.
Familiarity with murder has hardening
and brutalizing effect, particularly upon
the young. The more frequently it Is
witnessed the less horrible it appears.
Why should not the spectacle presented
by a legal execution have the same effect
on the youthful mind as the taking of hui
man life unlawtully? 1t does and those
who doubt it can have their doubts re-
moved by careful observation and inves-
tigation.
There is another point from which these
public executions ought to be considered.
1t is that they draw thousands of people
away from their regular occupations and
afford them an excuse for several days Of
idieness and, in the case of many, for dis
sipation. They disturb the routine life of
whole communities, for which there Is no
compensation whatever. And what is
there to be said in favor Of public execu-
tions? Nothing; absolutely nothing. 1t
is difficult 10 see, therefore, why Mr..
Brantley's bill met with so little favor.

The celebrated swindler, Ferdinand
Ward, is getting tired, apparently, OF be-
ing shut up In Ludlow street jail. He Is
talking more freely than he did when he
was first arrested, and prctends 10 think
that he is a badly used man. He COM
plains that he has suffered much, and
what appears to hurt him most is that no
one has any sympathy for him.
He says that he has made statement
and placed it in the hands of the receiver
of Grant Il Ward, which shows the money
received by the firm, from whom it was
received and to whom 1t was paid. He
wants this statement made public, and
pretends not to know why it has not been.
The funny feature of his talk, however,
is that he is being made the scapegoat for
others, and that he did not save dollar
from the wreck of Grant Il Ward. lie
wants the public to believe that he swIn-
died people for the benefit Of others, but
who the 'others" are he declines to say,
or course no one believes that be swim
died his customers for the mere satistac-
ton of swindling, and that from the
enormous sums that found their
way into his hands he did
not manage TO secure something
for himself. 1t is very probable that
others were concerned with him in his
swindling business, and what the public
wants to find out is who they are who,
through Wards help, put millions
OF dollars Of other peoples money in their
pocket. The public wants to know all
that Ward knows about mis- transactions,
and then it wants him and his associates
in crime placed where they will not have
chance to do any more swindling.
