BOOK MUTATIONS.

One of the publications that will have
very great interest to the legal profess
sion is "Lawson's Rights, Remedies and
Practice published Gbv the Bancroft
Whitney company, at San Francisco.
One would naturally go to California TOR

but it would not readily be assumed
that the Pacific state would produce one
of the great works to be sought by at
torneys in all parts of the land. Still,
such seems to be the fact. John D..
Lawson is name recognized by all
we'll informed attorneys as one of the
authorities in the branches of legal lit
erature upon which he has written. He
is the author of works on presumptive,
evidence, expert evidence, carriers
usageS and customs, defenSeS to crime,
etc. His most ambitious effort and
valuable work is the one now in publ
cation. 1t is to be completed
in seven volumes, two of which
are already issued. One is
to follow every two months.
The central purpose of the writer has
to furnish the working practitioner in
the smallest compass work that treats
all the important titles of the law, in
short, substitute for a complete col
lection of text books. So far as exam
ination has been given the work, it IS
believed that its purpose has been adj
mirably accomplished. 1t brings all its
TOPICS down to the present time. both as
to statutes and decisions, and the cita
tons of authority are ample. There
are other features of the work that will
give it exceptional value to the class III
whose interest it is specially designed.
The Bancroft-Whitney Company of
San Francisco has also just issued the
ninth volume of the american State
Reports" These are selected, reported
and annotated by A. G. Freeman and
the associate editors of the American
Decisions" which is assurance of care
and fidelity in the execution of the work.
The profession is familiar with the man
ner and methods of this compilation,
1t contains the cases of general value
and authority subsequent to those con.
tanned in the American Decisions and

highest courts of the several states.

Matrimony in Brazil.

Brazil is hardly the direction one
would look for advanced thought in
physical or moral culture, yet it is said
to be the only country in modern times
to legislate in favor of the health of
pOsterity. To prevent the transmission
of hereditary diseases it is required that
candidates for matrimony shall sustain
medical examinations and have the GER
tification of accepted physicians that
there is no sanitary bar to matrimony
with either party. This practice was
specially designed to check the alarm
ing prevalence of scrofulous diseases,
and the results are said to vindicate its
wisdom. A st. Paul pulpit the other
day said that the training of children
should commence a hundred years be-
fore their birth. AS it is not quite in
modern style to kill infants that are
puny and unfit to live, the South Amer
lean example has suggestion that could
be utilized to the great advantage OF
pOSterity.

Some data that will aid in the inves-

the corona and hydrogen promlnences
are now thought to be ''down rushes Of

of heated body. as formerly supposed.
These phenomena are believed to have
some relation to the spots on the sun,
which may perhaps exercise an influ-
ence upon terrestrial conditions. Re-
ports of the observations will be waited
for with interest by scientific circles.

MY MOTHER.

There sigh that almost rends the heart;
There's a grief, oh. so hard to bear;
There's tear that viii unbidden start,
There mind filled with heavy care.
And that grief felt and the tear | shed
On that sad and dreary day
The day they told me she was dead,
When mother passed away.
There's an aching void that can neer 30
filed.
There's a sundered loving bond;
There's soft and soothing voice tnats
stilIed
In the mystic vale beyond;
There's a face and form / cannot see,
Now moldering to decay.
And life has got no charms for me
Since mother passed away.
There's a tender word for the absent boy,
There's fervent prayer to heaven;
There's mem'ry time can ne'er destroy,
OF the lessons she has given.
But buried now are the word and prayer
In the cold and silent clay,
And mem ~ brings but grief and care,
Since mother passed away.
There's land beyond life hopes and fears,
A haven of peace and rest;
And this thought the tagging spirit cheers,
of the godlike and the blest:
And know that on that shining snore,
Where seraphs rejoice and pray,
To-day there is one angel more,
Since mother passed away.

BRAZILIAN AFFAIRS,

Our dispatches this morning indicate
that there is an appearance of more
earneStnesS about the Brazilian revOlu-
ton at this date than there was in the
beginning. 1t was the tamest opening
that the world ever saw, but it promises
to be complicated enough before it is
through with. The leader of the revo-
lutionary forces is dying-a fact that
seemed to have given encouragement to
the imperialists, who began to make
preparations for the return of Dom
PEDRO. This movement, however, has
been anticipated by the revolutionists,
and, as a measure for checking, they cut
off the eXiled emperor's pension and
have issued decree of eternal Danish
ment against him and against his
family. This will bring matters to
crisis at once. The men who success
fully overturned the empire in nighta are
expected to be prepared for all emer-
gencies. President FoNsECA's sue
cessor will have been named before the
formers death, and will be ready to as
sumo the reinS of government as soon
as the breath is out of his body. There
is hardly possible hope for the i'm
perial family that the people of Brazil,
or any faction of them. will fly to arms
to support the cause of Dom PEDRO,
and unless there is a foreign interior
enee the republic must stand. 1t would
have been better for old Dom PEDRO if
his friends had submitted to the ineyi-
table gracefully. and not stirred up
bitter feeling against him in the
ranks of the republicans by attempting
to create rebellion against the provis-
ional government. The notifying
part of the whole matter is that this
nation should stand with folded hands
and permit the friends of republican
government in Brazil to work out their
own freedom without single word of
encouragement from us.

THE PosToFFICE IN ARMS.
Uncle Sam Loaded Down With
Travelling Christmas Presents.

Travelling Christmas Presents.
Yesterday was hurry-and-rush day
at the postofice. The corridor was lit
orally packed with people, many of
them bearing armfulls of packages to
be handed over to Uncle Sam and his
letter carriers to be delivered to the
thousands of sweethearts, lovers rela-
tives and friends of the citizens and
denizens OF the city of the ice palace
all over the country. The clerks at the
various windows dealt out stamps,
weighed and received the packages, and
answered thousand of questions in
mechanical and rapid manner. The
afternoon and night mails bore away
scores of extra mail pouches packed
TO their utmost limit.
1--WE have received fifty times as much
mail matter to-day as compared with an
ordinary day." remarked o. Ii. Ne
gard. You see those piles of pack
agesW pointing to wagon loads of them
piled around ;''that will give you an idea
of the work we have at this season of
the year. Besides, there will be con-
tinual rush OF incoming packages until
Tuesday night; and then there will be
great amount to come into the city for
distribution. The letter carriers don't
get time for holiday vacation"
Supt Hardacre said: We will all be
very busy for a week. We need an
extra force to handle our mail matter
promptly, but there is no provision for
it."
handing in unavailable articleS?n was
query by reporter of the GLOBE.
Eyes; our greatest trouble is with
persons wanting to send merchandise to
foreign countries. We can't receive
them except upon the payment of full
letter rates, and then the articles must
go through the custom houses, and if
subject to duty the goods are detained
until the tariff is paid. Then there are
many packages brought here that are
poorly wrapped-Some of them in paste
board boxes that would be crushed to
pieces by the tons of mail. One woman
broughta package here to-day to be
sent to some town in California; it was

inches wide and six inches thick; 1t had

before it got fairly started on its way.
She insisted, however, upon sending it
even when l told her if she never
heard of 1t again not TO come to this
office to complain"
The official laughed at suggestion as
to the examination of packages for
written matter that might be inclosed,
and said the only requirements of the
regulations is that the packages be in
such shape that they can be examined;

The Country OF Invention.

Probably the most active and pene-
trating minds in the old countries come
to America and exercise their inventive
genius to the credit of this country, or
the inquiring disposition becomes more
alert in contact with Yankee life. In
the old civilizations there may be more
of the fogy no ton of Solomon when he
said there was nothing new under the
sun. In the way of patents and inven-
tons the United States takes the lead
of all the nations, and perhaps equals
all others combined. In a recent dis
cussion in the German parliament, the
fact was brought out that last year Ger
many granted but 1921 patents against
20.420 in the United States. Great
Britain was next with 7,779. In Ger
many there was falling off of 927 in
five years. while there was constant
increase in this country. 1t may be
that there is limit to invention, but it
will hardly be reached before the sun is
burned out.

viewed with great and apparently de-
serving favor by that body. The first
and possibly the greatest points claimed
by Mr.. Cody i'll favor of his invention
are that it does away completely with 4
rails in the streets, and that 10 depth of
snowfall,eyen though it were seven feet
OH the level, would in the least affect or
retard the operation of the system. The
construction of the steel framework
supporting the donble line of elevated
tracks is on different lines from any
thing heretofore attempted. Light steel
arches will span the street at
column bases at the curb line.
Supported by means of girders and
braces extending from these primary
supports are the tracks, and an arrange
ment of uprights of light steel, with
crossbars, surmonnts the center OF the
arches, the object being the removal Of
all wires from the sides of the streets
traversed by the road to the place thus
provided for them. The operators car,
which surmOunts the only wheels in
connection with the whole affair,
is small enclosed cab planned for oc-
cupatlOn by the operator alone. The
passenger car hangs from the trucks
by series of steel rods to a height
above the street about TIE same as that
of the cable cars now in operation. The
electric wire from which power is gath
cred for the propulsion of the car
egraph and telephone wires. 1t
is protected on the upper
side by a light zinc roofing, which OBJ
yiates the possibility of the accumula-
ton of sleet upon it, and a consequent
break in the circuit; the under side
alone is exposed. The browning glory
of the scheme. however. is a device by
which the car can be raised and lowered
to travel at any attitude from the street.
This is done by means of series of
jacks under the control of the opera
tor. By this means the stoppage
Of the cars by heavy snow fall would
be impossible as they run as we'll and
easily fifteen feet from the ground. as
is the case when but foot or so from
the surface. This is one of the chief
recommendation of the invention as to
its application in cities subject to the
climatic conditions which exist
here. Mr.. Cody is president of
an elevated railway company now
iii successful operation after the same
plan in Sault Ste. Marie, and in his ex-
plantations of the working OF the system
makes plainly evident its superiority,
at least in theory, over any electric road
now In operation or any that are known
to have been patented. The working
model of a section of the pro-
posed system was ON exhibition
yesterday in the chamber of
commerce, and was seen during the day
by many persons versed in the work
ings of electrical devices, and all ex-
pressed conviction that the model rep
resented the railroad of the future.
Secretary Tallmadge is greatly inter-
ested in the plan, and its workings,
probable cost per mile. and practical
bility generally. will be discussed at
meeting of the chamber tomorrow.

Female Athletes.

The ladies in a town in New Jersey
are credited with manifestation of their
feelings that may forecast sort of legis-
lation they will favor when they become
voters. They have formed an athletic
club, and admit to membership married
men, but not bachelors. The privilege
denied may not be of great moment to
. the parties, but it involves the assertion
of principle that may be carried out
to the discomfort of that perverSe fac
ton of the human family. 1t stands for
/ a blackball for the willfui bachelor in
the social phases. The bachelor is nat
urally selfish and deficient in patriot
ism. His own ease and freedom from
responsibilities in the constitution Of
society are his chief concerns. just at
this season of the year, many heads of
families, as well as subordinate ele-
ments, have saddening realization of
his insuficiency. There should be no
mantle of charity for him.

Piano Playing Hard Work.

There will be satisfaction to many
young ladies in the recent opinion of an
eminent medical authority that there is
danger to the physical constitution in
work upon the piano to an excess.
Where the exercise is arduoUs to the
learner and wearing upon the nerves,
he prescribes six hours day as suffi-
cient. He presumed that there were
rugged constitutions that would not be
seriously impaired by twelve or four
teen hours day, but it requires en-
thusiasm and high devotion to make
that desirable. TO become accomplished
and skilled as pianist there is vast
amount of severe work requisite, with
years of practice, vigorous purpose and
strong physical powers. are needed.
Yet the physician recommends moder-
ateSlabor on the instrument as good for
discipline and exercise. 1t Is not, how
ever, calculated to excite enthusiasm in
reluctant ears about.

by artistic combinations, and thousands
of pedestrians linger to admire them.
The columns of the newspapers are also
made bright and entertaining by de-
tail of the wonderful lists of Christmas
wares. Brisk, bright advertisements
are always interesting and profitable
alike to advertiser and reader. They save
infinite eXertion to thousands of the army
of buyers who are looking for gifts
wherewith to make friends happy at this

who cannot find in the vast array of at
tractive novelties, set out these fine
mornings in the GLOBE, variety of
material to crafty and gladden. every
manner and kind of intended benefi-
ciary, would be hard indeed to please.

THE BELLS OF NoTRE DAME.
! What though the radiant thoroughfare
/ Teens with noisy throng?
! What though men handy everywhere

What though the radiant thoroughfare
Teens with noisy throng?
What though men handy everywhere
The ribald jest and song?
Over The din of oaths and cries
Broodeth wondrous calm,
And mid that solemn stilnes rise
The bells of Notre Dame.
Heed not, dear Lord.p they seem to say,
Thy weak and erring chffd:
And thou, o gentle mother, pray
That God be recOnciled;
And on mankind. o Christ our King,
Pour out thy gracious balm
Ills thus they plead and thus they sing,
Those bells of Notre Dame.
And so. meti1Inks, God, bending down
To ken the things of earth,
Heeds not the mockery of the town
Or cries of ribald mirth;
For ever soundeth in his ears
A penitential psalm
It's thy angelic voice he hears,
bells of Notre Daniel
Plead on. o bells, that thy sweet voice
May still forever be
An intercession to rejoice
Benign divinity;
And that thy tUneful grace may fall,
Like dew, a quickening balm
Upon the arid hearts of all

the nation a tremendous military
power, and to make everything bend to
that end.

1T WILL be remembered that JENNY
LIND enshrined her memory in many
hearts by singing at times to those who
could not afford to pay millionaire
prices to hear her. PATTI sings twice
week in Chicago during her three
weeks, and pockets $1,000 each time she
appears. 1t is her right, of course, to
take what people are willing to pay.
She can't sing to everybody, and those
who have money always can buy what
others cannot. 1t is the same way with
music. Still, there would he an added
sweetness and beauty to that marvellous
voice If the owner could be put farther
from the merely mercenary role.
