from the Island Of Jamaica from the
operation of a statute converting a
possession for seven years, under a
deed Will or other conveyance, into a
positive title, Sir VIM. Grant, Master
of the Rolls, says, l have not been
able to find any authority whatever
for this doctrine, and he says-The
true rule on this subject is laid down
by Sir Eardly Wilmot, in his opin-
ion in the House of Lords in the case
of Lord Buckinghdnlsbjre as. DruTy,
who says many cases have been put
where the law implies an exception,
and takes infants out of general words
bv what is called virtual exception.
have looked through all the cases,
and the only rule to he drawn from
them Is, that where the wards of a
law in their common and ordinary
Specification are sufficient to exclude
infants, the virtual exception most be
drawn from the intention of the Leg
islature manifested by other parts of
the law, from the general purpose
and design OF the law, and from the
subject matter of it.n In all of which
respects, i'll my opinion, an interpre-
tation is given contrary 10 making
the exception. And the same au-
thority says: Infants, like other
persons would be barred by an act for
limiting suits at law, if there were no
saving clause in their favor"

Under the display heads" England
and Hawaii; Diplomatic Dispute" a
London despatch OF Dec. 10Th in an Aus
tralian paper says:
1T is reported that the Minister of
the Interior Of the Hawaii Islands, in
the Sandwich group, has acted in an in
sulting manner to the representative Of
Great Britain, and that the dispute has
been referred to the Imperial Govern
ment"
There is not particle OF foundation in
the rumor 1t probably originated in a
ridiculous story fabricated in the San
Francisco Post newspaper, regarding the
Honolulu Road Supervisors action in re-
moving the rails of the tramway from
Waikiki bridge Major Wodehouse,
British Commissioner, had nothing to do
with the Hawaiian Tramways Company's
dispute with the Road Supervisor on
that occasion, and the Minister of In
terror himself was absent from the city
at the time.

GREAT AFRICAN FORESTS. Extent or the Timber Region, n Part o
 Which Stanley Bescriber.

The great forests through which Stanlev recently passed, says the New York Sun. which he estimated to cover 346, ,OOO square miles, is only small part of the great Afri- can forest which extends almost unbrokenly from the west coast, in the Gaboon and Ogowe regions, with width of several hun dred miles, to the great lakes. This belt of timber, trending away to the heart of the continent in direction little south of east is perhaps the greatest forest region ia the world. A part of it strikes south of the Con- go at the great bend of that river, and the country embraced within the big curve is covered with compact forest, the towering and wide spreading trees shutting out large part of the sunlight.
 In these forests, completely shut out from the rest of the world, live hundreds of thou sands of people who are almost unknown to the tribes living in the savanna regions out side. Scattered through the big woods with in the Congo bend are little communities of Satwa dwarfs, of whose existence the travel Ter has no inkling until he suddenly comes upon them. Here also along the Sankurn river, are ths tree habitants described by Dr. Wolf, where the natives live in huts built among the branches to escape the river floods. It was in great clearings made in these forests that Kund and Tappenbeck discovered some of the most notable villages yet found in Africa, where well built huts, with ga- ble roofs, line both sides of a neatly kept street that stretches away for eight or nine miles. These villages are even more interest ing than the street towns in the more sparse- ly timbered regions south of them, which were regarded as very wonderful when first discovered by Wissman. It.was his account of these villages that led Bishop Taylor to choose this part of Africa as goal he wish ed to reach.
 Last year the Commercial company, which is Investigating the trade resources of the Congo, sent it's steamer, the Rio des Belges, up the Ikatta river into this great timber land, and the explorers described the coun- try along it's banks as "covered with an al- most inpenetrable virgin forest. It is ve- ritable ocean of verdure. from which emerges here and there wooded mountain" Green fell penetrated the forest for long distances on several southern tributaries of the Con- go, and on the upper courses of these rivers he sometimes found the wide spreading branches forming complete roof above the stream.

ITALIAN EMIGRATION.

The Italians have been leaving 'sunny Italy" at rate which has alarmed some of the Italians who have not left and would like to have the other stay and help keep up the prosperity of the country. During last year not less than 195, ,211 Italians emigrat- ed. This is exclusive of temporary emigra- tion-the leaving the country for few months, that is, in search of temporary work The departures are mostly from the agricul- tural provinces in the South, though Venetia leads the list with s1, ,O42 emigrants, com- pared with 26. 230 in 1887. From some parts of the province there has been almost com plete exodus. About Treviso, for example, entire villages are depopulated, and large estates are left without single laborer, re- calling the worst days of Ireland's famine and emigration. And it is feared that it is but question of months before Piedmont and Lombardy and Tuscany will follow the example of Venetia.
 Tie Economists di' Italia attempts to ex- plain this emigration, which it considers very painful and mournful thing. It ascribes it in large part to the present fiscal policy of Italy, which it believes has brought about an agricultural crises, and it is from great dis tress and hardships in the agricultural re- gions that the Italian farm labo1er is fleeing. Such forced emigration must have dif- ferent effect upon the mother country, says the Economista, from that which comes from colonization or the voluntary leaving of their native land by men bent on business enterprises. Patriotic sentiment cannot long survive in those who remember their coun- try chiefly as the scene of their misery. And the struggle with the productive power of foreign nations will not be any the easier for Italy after she has sent thousands of her sons to become part of the efficiency of her com- petitors.
 Of course it is hard for Italy to lose a large part of her working population. But it is a good thing for the Italians who have pluck enough to leave their country for this country and the Argentine Republic, where they have gone in large numbers and prospered.

nity; 1t is also almost as translucent as glass, and of a pleasing amber color, varying in shade from very light golden to pale brown. The basis of the material is web of fine iron wire, with warp and weft threads about one-tweifth inch apart, this being enclosed, like a fly in amber, in sheet of translucent varnish, of which the base is linseed oil. There is no resin or gum in the varnish, and, once having become dry, it is capable of standing heat and damp without undergoing any change, neither hardening nor becoming sticky. Briefly, the manufacture is accom- plished by dipping the sheets edgewise into deep tanks of varnish and then allowing the coating which they thus receive to dry in 8 warm atmosphere. It requires somewhat more than dozen of these dips to bring the sheets to the required degree of thickness, and when this has been accomplished the material is stored for several weeks to thor oughly set.

one of Ro bert 1T. LineoIn,s Bills.


 MT. Robert T. Lincoln likes to tell the story of his first fee as an attorney. Old Judge Logan, under whom he read law, had always told him not to be afraid to charge big fees for his services. ''People don't respect cheap lawyer" said the judge.
 One day soon after MT. Lincoln had been admitted to practice, he sat alone in his of- fee when messenger brought note from the Chicago agent of one of the wealthiest insurance companies in America, asking to have the title to certain piece of property looked up. The young lawyer spent about half an hour locking into the title and then sent the report to the insurance office. Pretty soon the messenger came with another note. This one requested Mir. Lincoln to send his bill by the bearer. The young lawyer had no idea what to charge. At first he thought it would be good policy not to charge anything ''for," said he to himself, 'T should like to get that company's work regurlarly." But he knew Judge Logan would not approve that sort of thing, and he didn't want the Judge to think that he was needless of his ad- vice. So he figured it that, since he had worked only half an hour, s10 would be 8 good stiff price, for it would be at the rate of s20O for 8 day of ten hours. The words of Judge LogaN, however, rang in his ears, and with a stroke of audacity that almost frightened him, MT. Lincoln finally made the bill $25. He felt that this was an outrageously high fee, and was hesitatiDg as to whether he would give it to the boy or make out another for $10, when Judge Logan chanced to come in.
 "You are just the man I want to see" said MT. Lincoln, and he told him of the dilem- ma.
 Judge Logan took the bill and tore it up.
 "I knew it was outrageously high," said Mir. Lincoln, "but, Judge, you always told me to make big bills, and did this more to please you than myself"
 Nonsense" said the Judge, ''give me g pen." He sat down, wrote another bill, and gave it to the boy.
 In a few minvtes the boy returned with the insurance agents check for s250, and little note to Ar. Lincoln thanking him for hls promptness, and saying that the company 'a other work of this character would be sent to him.
 "Great Scottl" said the young lawyer to the old one, "did you make out bill for $25Oa"
 ':Of course did," answered the Judge, ''you don't want to be d-d eleemosy nary institution for insurance companies, do you2"

They Make Good Postmisrresses, and
 Have a High Regard for Honesty.
 Albany Journals Washington Letterl
 The pressure for good offices is by no means confined to men. Women are coming to the front boldly, asking for irst-clasa postmasterships and pension agencies, with three, or four and five thousand dollar sal aries attached. The pension agency at Chi cago, which was held by Miss Sweet, was given to Mrs. Mulligan, an Illinois soldiers widow, by Secretary Lamar. Now, half a dozen women are after it. and as the agency has been remarkably we'll managed during the terms of two feminine incumbents, it is likely, if Mrs. Mulligan is turned out, an- other woman will be put in her place.
 Then the women seem to be gradully mak- ing it a law that where a woman has success. fully performed the business of an office, a woman shall succeed her. Besides, the men who are applicants look rather sheepish fight. ing against woman, and as it has been prov ed many times that post-ofices and pension agencies can be as well conducted by a wom- an as man, 1t rather knocks the props from under the men.
 The Postmaster at Louisville, who receives $4 ,000 year, is Mrs. Thompson, daughte, of Alexander Campbell, the founder of the Campbelite eect of Baptists. She has held on for eight years, in spite of most deter l mined fight against her made at the begin. 1 ming of every administration since, and will no doubt keep her place. The record for hon. esty Of the woman who have handled Cover l ment funds is really lustrous. Among all the I women postmasters of United States there has not been single defaulter.
 Their accounts are made up promptly and are correct to a cent, and among the thou | sands of women employed in handling money l in the various treasury bureaus during the | twenty-five years that women have been em ployed there, but one has ever been guilty o I the smallest theft, for detection certainly fol lows theft by the United States Treasury em | ployees ss day follows night.

Americans will Miss These Women.
 Iar,d


 All pilgrims to Stratford-on-Avon will re- gret to learn that the Misses Chsttaway-the two sisters who have so long fulfilled the arduous duty of showing Shakespeares birthplace, with it's collection of relics-feel it necessary, on the ground of failing strength, to resign their post at midsummer next The Chattaway sisters are natives of Stratford, daughters of local banker, who failed many years ago in one of the financial panics, under circumstances unfortunate, though not discreditable. Left with scanty means, the two ladies were, on the recom- mendation of their friend, the late Mr. Hal liwell Phillips, appointed by the town coun- cil some eighteen years ago. No choice could have been more happy. To find the venerable timber house in Henley street in the charge ot refined and cultivated ladies, inspired by deep but not obtrusive love of their work, and ever ready to explain, if de- sired relic, or repeat by heart the words of some ancient document not intelligible to those who are unskilled in photography, has been comfort to all educated visitors to this shrine of genius. The custodianship of Shakespeare's birthplace is no sinecure, and it is easy to understand that Isdiss now somewhat advanced in life find it little be- yond their powers. In the first year of the Misses Chattaway's reign the number of visi- tors was just eight thousand. Since then it has steadily grown year by year, till last year it amounted to seventeen thousand, Of whom it is interesting to note that about Ona-fourth were Americana
