4 MgpIco-LEeAL QUESTION.
A Point Which Would Seem of Prime I'm.
portance in Criminal Jurisprudence.

A Point Which Would Seem OF Prime ln~
portance in Criminal Jurisprudence.
In a recent trial in Chicago it was desired
to establish the probable period during which
certain human bones offered in evidence had
been buried. Authorities were searched, and
medical, chemical and other experts appealed
to with the result Of determining an absolute
dearth of knowledge upon point which
would seem of prime Importance in criminal
Jurisprudence. Upon the discovery of dead
body or of human remains under circum-
stances pointing to violence, one Of the most
important factors in the problem Of the dis
covery of the murderer must obviously DO
the probable date of death. But when this is
beyond the period necessary for the destruc-
tion of the soft parts of the body-usaally a
few months at most-the text books of law
and medicine and the experience and observa-
tions of the anatomical expert are alike silent
and fruitless.
A recent communication to the French
Academy of Medicine indicates method of
determination of this fact of date which the
medico-legal student win need to master if
he would acquit himself creditably in the
future This consists in studying the gen
erations of the minute organisms (acarina)
which destroy the body after death. NJ.
Brouardel presented to the academy the
body of young girl which he was able to
prove had lain in cellar for q year, by
tracing the order of succession and life dura-
ton of different species of these microphytes-
One species consumes the fatty acids Of tho
body; another absorbs certain fluids; still
others feed only upon the skin, or the mus
cular structure, or the nerve tissue, etc. :; and
each species dies when its work is ended, its
period of life varying from six to eight weeks,
according to the temperature and other con-
ditions By this means NJ. Meguin, one Of
NJ. Brouarders collaborators, was able to ac-
curately establish the date of burial in a case
of murder, in which the remains of the vic
tim were discovered in garden.
This work has not, as yet, been taken up in
this county, nor is it stated to what remote
ness of burial it will apply. But it is not
likely that the French will be allowed to
monopolize the field of research thus opened
up to the medico-legal expert, rt,-Chicago

ADisappointed Young Miss.

While Thomas c. Acton was sub-treasurer
he had for visitor young Connecticut miss,
and he instructed Cashier Floyd to show her
and her mamma through the vaults and let
them see how compactly Uncle Sam stored
$140,000,000. Mr.. Floyd is one Of those jolly
old gentlemen who believes in pleasing the
young folks. He took from one of the vaults
a package containing s6,0OO,OOO in $4,000
bank notes, and, handing it to the young
miss, said: "Iguess we can spare that for
you" She looked pleased, folded the pack
age of new bills in the middle, opened her
hand satchel, and was about to drop the big
fortune into it when Mr.. Floyd, noticing that
she was in earnest, told her that he had just
recollected that the government was little
short that day, and that he would have to
postpone the gift to some other time. The
young miss lives in Forestville, Conn, and
only on Thanksgiving day she thought her
papa might let her come to New York and
get the present awaiting her at the sub
treasury.-New York Sun.

A drove Of 100 hogs that were being driven
through Allegheny became frightened and
stampeded. About a dozen ran into drug
store bleeding and covered with mud Two

screamed with fear. One Of them sprang on

The stove is heated by natural gas, and when
it was upset the pipe was broken and sheet
of flame shot up almost to the ceiling. A

A MANS Percentare Of Error. ;,

Professor Holden states an interesting
fact that is not generally known. In the
difficult calculations of astronomy, the
tendency of man to make errors of too
great or too little results is so regular in
It's direction and quantity that it is a
factor in all figuring. A mans percent
age of error is always allowed for in the
abstruse calculations of the heavenly
bodies.
This would be very admirable scheme
TO put in force with regard to earthly
bodies. A mans parents should be COM
PEELED, when he is to be married, to give
his wife a clear statement of his per-
centage of error, and don't know any
factor in the whole affair that would
be half so important or valuable to
know. 1t might be given rather as
declination from the perfect upright,
and we could easily fix it by degrees.
James Jones, 15 degrees; John Smith,
age 40, lived in the country all his life,
10 degrees; William Robinson, town
dude, 60 degrees, will have to be securely
shored up or he'll fall over" That
would be simple, if not agreeable.-San

rHE eALATEA's MONKEY DEAD
The Wonderfully Intelligent Pet of Lieut.
and Mrs. Henn.

and Mrs. HEM.
The pennant of the British cutter Galatea
in winter quarters at South Brooklyn,
drooped mournfully at half mast the other
day. Peggy, the yet of the master, mistress,
skipper and crew of the white hulled racer,
was dead. Peggy was a female whose species
has been immortalized by Darwin. Capt
Daniel Bradford, of the Galatea, said he be
ieved Peggy exemplfed the truth of theory
opposed to Darwin's-that the monkey de
scended from man. He thinks Peggy de-
scended few pegs and then hove to.
"All that the creature wanted to mako her
human, said the black bearded British sailor,
"was the English language She could learn
almost anything but that. She had Ian
guage of her own that we couldn't under
stand, which shows how dull we are, but she
understood our language, although she
couldn't talk it."
Peggy died at noon in the cabin of the
cutter. She was i'll about six hours. Capt.
Bradford wrapped the body up in the Union
Jack, and made preparations for a burial.
He got four shippers of yachts lying in the
basin to act as pail bearers. They carried
the body to the head of the pier, where a
grave had been made. Peggy was lowered
into the grave and the captain put over it G
little slab of pure white marble
Peggy was born in Malta about three and
half years ago. She was purchased from
one of the natives of Malta by the mate Of
the schooner yacht Shamrock, and thus had
Irish blood in her veins. The mate of the
Shamrock took her to Southampton, where
Capt, Bradford, at Mrs. Henn's request,
bought her and took her to the Galatea.
Peggy could pull on halyard like trained
sailor, and she always helped the crew to
make and lower sail She manifested q great
interest in the cutters races. When the
Galatea slipped ahead of her rivals Peggy
would run out on the bowsprit and jump up
and down, and chatter as if she had gone
mad Capt Bradford said there would be
mourning in England when the Galatea's
crew over there heard that Peggy was dead

nnr Hia oun Grave

A very oleverly arranged contrivance has
been discovered in the woods near st. George,
N. B., by means of which an old and eccen-
tric resident named Tucker intended ending
his existence. 1t had been noticed for severa!
weeks that the old man spent the greater part
of his time in the woods, and party followed
him. He soon stopped beside an open grave,
which was found to have been constructed
for some special purpose. Investigation
showed that box had been placed in it and
springs arranged SO that a man could lie
down in the box and pull down board, when
the grave would fill with earth, and brush
wood arranged for the purpose would cover
the mound. The discovery was only made
just in time to save the mans life, for every
detail had been completed.-Chicago Herald.

Eastern Shore Girls as Gunners.

Quite novel and striking sight was wit
messed by a rider on the Blackwater road on
Thursday last in the form of a CANNING party
composed of both ladies and gentlemen. The
ladies looked perfectly at home with their
guns on their shoulders, and seemed to handle
them with as much skill as did the gallant
young men at their sides. Each face beamed
with delight as they held aloft the string of
partridges so lately brought low. The gen
tlemen were laden with punches of brilliant
autumn leaves and bright red berries gath
cred from the woods near by, and as they
gayly tramped along, followed by the beauti-
full bird dogs, Beppo and Leo, belonging to
DIR. Carroll, it looked quite picturesque and
outrivaled the gypsies who have so lately
been among us.-Cambridge News.
