Aid for Invaiided Children.

The humanity of our times finds it
difficult TO express itself. and is constant
ly devising new methods. One of the
latest is a London scheme for the special
visitation and aid of seriously invaded
children in their homes" Few outside
of the ranks of medical men and nurses
understand how many children leave hos
pitfalls In a condition requiring far more
intelligent and continuous care than they
can possibly have from their families.
There are severe cases of assesses, and
lingering sores, and weaknesses from
limbs that have been broken, besides
many who suffer from other causes Jess
severe, but sufficient to cut them off
from the pursuits and pleasures of child
hood.
The object Of the association is to sup
plement hospital work-sending nurses
to the houses of the sick poor. But be-
yond that. or more specifically, it is to
secure list of wealthy and benevolent
families that can be relied upon to pay
for, or furnish what Is needed for, one or
more of the little invalids. 1t is the work
of the association to bring the two par
ties together and get the wealthy inter
ested in special wards. There is a cen
trail office and medical secretary, TO
whom any one can send the address of a
sick child needing help. Then the visitor
secures for such child his friend, who is
to consider it, for the time being, as his
own child This is one of the best con-
sidered forms of benevolence that has
been devised. Ii would bear transplant
ing into every city and almost every vii
lage of not only England. but America.
The trouble with most charity is its lack
of personality and its transient character.

The Death Penalty In Italy.

The Italian minister of justice, Sig.
Zanardelii, has just drawn up new
criminal code from which capital punish
ment has been omitted. There is n good
deal of speculation in Italy as to whether
the legislature will finally abolish the
punishment of death. Three times within
the last twenty years the chamber of
deputies has voted for its abolition. but
in each case the senate has refused to
confirm the vote. Since King Humbert
assembled the throne there has not been
an execution, and it is argued that it is
absurd and undiguified to retain in the
code n penalty which is never applied.
To this 1t is naturally objected that King
Humbert wall not live forever; that sue
ceeding rlonarchs may be less tender
hearted. or that come serious outbreak of
crime against the person might render it
necessary to make an example. 1t has
more than once happened that when cap
ital punishment has been abolished it has
been found necessary to re-establlsh It,.
This was the case not long ago in several
of the Swiss cantons. James Ga

LEGAL ADVERTIaIHG

The Florida Press Association will
meet in Jacksonville ON the 25th to dis
cuss the rates for legal advertising as
made by the Legislature last spring, and
to take what steps it can toward remedy
ing the matter. The rates would be very
low for any class of advertising, but
when it is known that the composition
of these tax sales lists requires an
amount of figures not usually car
ried in small offices and which must
be bought for this use solely it will be
seen that the newspapers have good rea-
son to protest against the rate fixed.
What that is may be seen from the fol-
lowing circular to tax collectors issued,
under date of January IS, from the
Comptrolier's office:
SIR-In some instances the tax sale
notices, heretofore, included the full
subject when advertised for unpaid
taxes. Under the head of "Amount Of

tisement prescribed by the statute tSec.

column lines for the four insertions.

The Monticello Constitution objects to
the proposition of the Mayors conven-
ton that the Governor convene the
Legislature in extra session to create
State Board of Health and says:
1t is very desirable that the State
should be protected from the introduce
ton of yellow fever. but we hope Gov.
Perry will not accede to the request
made by the Mayors, or any other APP
peals made tor the calling of special
session of the laundering Legislature
body that was assembled last year. 1t
was certainly the most inefficient Legis-
lative body that ever assembled in this
State, and if again called together it is
impossible To surmise what amount of
mischief would be done.
The Constitution names one objection
which has more weight with cautious
people than any other. IL is idle to say
that the Legislature could do nothing
but what it was convened to do-the
people are afraid that anything it might
do would go amiss. Its blunders might
make matters worse than they are.

members are or believe themselves to be

forces of the United States, and have

best means of securing back pay due
them, if any. They enlisted ''for three
years or the war" and probably could
not be ordered West to garrison frontier
posts, but still, there's possibility that
they might and the chilly suggestion
may make them pause and consider
before they lay claim to $3,5ss of back
