Expert Testimony.

The line between expert and non
expert testimony is n fine one, says the
New York Tribune. The other day a
physician was on the witness stand in
a Trenton court. when the question,
"How many ribs are there in the hls-
man body?" was put to him. He re-
fused to answer on the singular ground
that the question WIS technical one
and that he was not under any obliga-
ton 10 answer it because he had not
received q fee for expert testimony.
The Judge. properly we think, COM
nitted him for contempt of court 1t
is to be presumed that every doctor
knows the correct answer to the ques-
ton. This witness, however, may
have suffered q relapse of memory. In
that case there would be no inproprl-
ETY. in the judges excusing him on the
ground that to have confessed his igno-
rance would have involved loss OF
professional standing and a consequent
loss OF fees

'The difference between oleomarga-

butterine we use neutral lard. which is
made from selected leaf lard prepared
and rendered in very similar manner

for the Improvement OF their texture.
We get an average of about eight
pounds of raw leaf lard per hog. which

two to three cents per pound over

Creamery butterine is usually COM
