! ~ different state of affairs, nearly
every nation supporting its own gar
aeh or park. and some OF them SUD-
port several. Besides the great insti-

parks of this description at Bristol

two gardens in Paris, each devoted in

those in Marseilles and Tours Bel
GUM has two geological gardens. one
at Ghent and the other at Antwerp

The German cities provided with
these gardens are Berlin, Hamburg.

of the city. and public
street running through it, which
divides it into two sections.
Walls are erected along the street. and
visitors go from one section to the
other by means of tunnel passing
under the street. The grounds com
prise about sixty acres and are
well filled with buildings. ponds.

ponds, aviaries, bear pits. monkey
houses, aud really place for every

The Berlin park is ranked by natur-
alists next to tl-at of London, and the
two in Paris. if combined would make
one as extensive as any in the world.
In America the Philadelphia ZOO is the
most extensive, so far as builing and
collections go. and the Enclosure COM
prises thirty-three acres of Fairmount
Park. In New YORK the collection of
animals is kept in Central Park. and
has become so extensive that many
people object to having the park used
for this purpose, and there are pend
ing in the Legislature two bills for
placing the institution upon proper
footing. The Cincinnati geological
park embraces sixty five acres of sub
ur~an land, and was opened in 1875.

responsibility, and was a common
gutter drunkard. His family had
disowned him, and would not recog-
nize him when they met him. Coca.
sionally he would get a job at the
stables where DIR. Davis kept his
horse. One morning the DIR. laid his
hand on Jim's shoulder and said;
"Jim, | wish you would give up
the drink"
There was something very like a
culver of the mans lips as he an-
swered.
"If i thought you cared / would (;

and me"

The Cronin Verdict.

The verdict of the jury in the Gro
min case is one of those compromises
which appears to be possible under
the Illinois statutes. Three of the
prisoners, Coughlin, O'Sullivan and
Burke, were found guilty of murder
in the first degree, but are awarded
the punishment of life imprisonment
instead of death penalty. In this
State no such result could have been
reached. The sentence for murder
in the first degree is fixed by statute
and is death. Only the governor and
council can commute the sentence of
a wilful murder in Massachusetts,
but in Illinois the jurors seem to have
that discretion and they have used it
apparently to avoid disagreement.
The verdict of manslaughter and SEN
tence of three years imprisonment In
the case of Kunze is a lenient one,
and the acquittal of Beggs is rather
surprising. But all things considered,
the Jury has done as well as was to
have been expected. Under the sys-
tenn now prevailing, it is well-nigh
impossible to get II honest and in
telligent men impannelled. Jury
trials of great cases are failures in
nearly all instances nowadays, par
ticularly in the great cities. Those
few responsible citizens who do not
manage to escape jury summons are
almost always objected to on account
of their having read the papers. So,
in view of the men comprising the
Cronin jury, the verdict must be ac-
cepted as satisfactory.
