counsel admitted this, but said that the rule did
not apply TO documentary evidence, which could be

socaIled documentary evidence unsupported by
amdayts or certificates, being statements, not
evidence This statement caused sensation, but

Getting Together.

Slowly the people of this country
are beginning to see that the three gen.
eral questions of money, transpOrta-
ton and land are those which are COM
ing up for discussion and deci..u,s.
Government loans at a low rate Of in
terest is the answer to the first. Gov
ernment ownership Of railways and
telegraphs answers the second and the
exemption Of a moderate homestead
to each family from all taxation. exc
cution, or other processes of law settles
the third.
Then, the producer of wealth would
be protected in the possession of the
fruits of his toll, labor would rejoice
and peace and cOntentment revisit the
homes of our anxious and careworn
mothers and fathers.
Get right on these three questions
Or are you too Old to learn?-Kans:s

Ineer.oll On Crime.

Before the ninth annual convention
Of the State Bar association Col. Rob.
srt G. Ingersoll delivered an address
upon the subject of Grimes Against
Criminals" in which at the outset he
demonstrated that punishment by tor
ture and death had failed to abate
crime. The following were among Mr..
ingersoll's utterances:
Degradation has been thoroughly
tried, with its mai.uings and brand
ings, and the result was that those who
inflicted the punishment became as de-
graded as their victims. 1t is safe to
say that governments have committed
far more crimes than they have pre-
vented. / am perfectly satisfied that
there are millions of others incapable
bf practicing certain virtues. There is
no reformation in degradation. Who
ever is degraded by society becomes
its enemy. A punishment that de-
grades the punished will degrade the
government that procures the inflic-
tiOn. Is there any remedyP Can any
thing be done for the reformation Of
the criminal? He should be treated
with kindness. Every right should be
given him consistent with the safety OF
society. He should neither be degrad-
ed nor robbed. Why should these men
after having been imprisoned for years
be turued out without the means OF
support? Would it not be far better
to lay aside his earning 50 that when
the convict is released after five years
of imprisonment he will have several
hundred dollars of his own, enough to
keep the wolf of crime from the door
of his heart? If we are to change the
conduct of men we must change their
conditions. Extreme poverty and
crime 90 hand in hand. Ignorance,
filth, and poverty are the missionaries
of crime. As long as dishonorable
success outranks honest effort-as long
as society bows and cringes before the
great thieves-thcre will be little onss
enough to fill the jails."
Thomas County cat., 1890-07-17
Education in Ancient Egyt.

Boys intended for the government
service entered the school at a very
early age. The course of instruction
was very siml le. The first care of the
teacher was to initiate the young
scribe into the masteries of the art Of
writing. After he had mastered the
FIRST difficulties. he was given older
texts to copy. These texts were moral
treatises, older poems, fairy tales, re-
ligious and mythical writings and
letters. It is to this fact that we owe
the preservation of the greater part of
the literary re1rains of ancient Egypt.
When one of these school boys died, the
copies he had written, that could be CT
no earthly use to any one else, were
buried with him. From these old
books that he copied he learned to form
his own style; he learned the grammar
and syntax of his beautiful language;
he became acquainted with its vast
stock of moral precepts, religious and
mythical traditions, and with the un-
numbered poems and tales that un
doubtedly abounded, and of which the
merest fragments have come down to
us. Two classes of writings were pre-
ferred for this purpose, moral precepts
and letters. 1t was considered abso-
lutely indispensable to inculcate on the
minds Of the pupils vast numbers of
moral precepts. Letter writing was
considered high and difficult art, and
the pupils needed very special prepa-
ration in it.-F. C. II. Wendell in Popu-
lar Science Monthly.
