The Salt Lake Herald, organ of Il c
Latter Day Saints, the bees of the
hive of Deseret. is favoring monu-
ment to Brigham Young. Brigham
was Democrat, the Herald is Demo
cratic, and MormOnism and modern
Democracy in Utah are one and the
same thing. A monument to Brigham
would be a monument to both Nor
monism and Democracy there, an6
both will need it shortly to cOmmem
crate their existence, as both are
dying in Utah with rapidity that is
exceedingly gratifying to Gentle
better classes there and their sympa
thizers elsewhere.

A STUDY OF CRIMINALISM

Among the exceedingly interesting
and very valuable of recent scientific
studies that have been commented on
by able writer's and experimentalists,
arc those that are endeavoring, and
largely succeeding in throwing light
on the cause of criminal development.
1t is investigating why the criminal
exists; how far education will go
toward counteracting his habits, and
what influence heredity has upon him?
During the past fifteen years studies
in the science called criminal anthro-
pology, have been actively carried on
on the continent Of Europe, especially
in Italy. The French and Germans
also have latterly made valuable con-
tributions TO the new science, but it is
only within the past few years that
the subject has awakened any interest
among English speaking people. In
England and America the treatment
of the criminal has been held the
peculiar province Of the philanthropist
and the humanitarian, who have gen.
erously and earnestly inquired into the
best methods Of managing the crimi-
nal, but who have wholly neglected to
study the criminal himself. The in
Yestigations Of Lombroso and Ferri in
Italy have, however, aroused the in
terest OF the English and Americans,
and the same sort Of investigations
have been begun here.
-.
One of the celebrated investigators
of criminal Observation-Disclosures
ceived that the criminal was anatom-
ically and physiologically an organic
anomaly. He weighed him and meas
ured him according TO the methods of
anthropology. He noted the shape OF
the criminals skull and the color OF
his eyes. He studied the criminals
ears and the anomalies Of his hair.
Every physical popularity was care
fully examined and recorded together
with those psychological anomalies
which are manifested in moral insen-
sibility, vanity, emotional instability
and innumerable habits which prevail
among the criminal classes. Others
soon followed along the same line and
criminal anthropology is today a rec
ognized science, numbering among its
professors some of the most eminent
men of learning on the continent of
Europe.
For convenience criminals are d.
vided into three classes-occasional,
babitual, instructive. The first may
include perfectly normal persons who
become criminal, through pressure OF
They may In this way
develop into habitual offender. On
the other hand a man may be instinc-
lively criminal but be 50 held In check

FRENCH july SYSTEM.
Wherein 1t Is Like the English Practice
and Its Minor Differences.

To be eligible for the jury it is necessary
to be French citizen, not less than 30
years of age, to enjoy all the political and
civil rights, and to know how to read and
write; but, by exception, neither magis-
trates nor government functionaries, nor
Salaried domestic servants are eligible
Men of 20 years of age are dispensed with,
as also those whose labor is necessary for
their daily bread, or those who have served
as jurymen during the current or previous
year.
Every year list of eligible ju"vmen is
drawn up by the government authorities
Three thousand are chosen for the depart
ment of the Seine; in all others the proper
ton is that of one to every 500 inhabitants;
but fixed residence is necessary to be eligi-
BILE. Ten days b, ore the opening of the
sessions of the assises, or assizes, the names
of thirty-six jurymen are drawn by ballot
out of the annual list, with the addition of
four supplementary jurymen, to serve dur
ing the session, which lasts fortnight. As
in England, twelve men make up the jury,
but in criminal cases one or two extra
jurymen are present during the trial, in
readiness to take the place of any one ab-
solutely prevented from attending. The
complete list of the thirty-siX names Is
handed to the prisoner the day before the
trial begins. Any juryman failing to at
tend without sending notice of impeachment
to be submitted TO the court is liable to
fine of from 200 francs to 500 francs for the
first offense, 1000 francs for the second,
and 500 francs for the third, which also
involves the forfeiture of his right in future
to sit in any jury.
When the trial opens the thirty-six names
are thrown together into jar and drawn
one by one, the prosecution and the defense
using the right of rejection till only twelve
names remain. Ifthese are finally accepted
the jury is Immediately called and the trial
begins.
Contrary to English practice, the prisoner
himself is closely cross-eXamined by the
presiding judge, called president" Previ-
ously, during his imprisonment, every
effort has been made to draw a confession
from him, even by placing in his cell a fel-
low Jail bird as spy-in technical slang
called "mouton," who treacherously tries
to win his confidence. Such proceedings
would shock British ideas of fair play, any
thing like treachery being repulsive to the
English mind. The public examination
may, however, have the advantage OF al
lowing the prisoner to tell his own story,
which, if he be innocent, may have stamp
of truth likely TO influence the jury. On
the other hand, through nervousness or
stupidity, he may commit 'himselflrremedi-
ably.-Murray's Magazine.

Rubber Paueling.

A very artistic effect has been obtained
by India rubber panels or veneers, which
are very beautiful in color, but unfort-
unately too costly for general use In
England very thin gum elastic has been
used as wall covering, particularly where
the walls were exposed TO damp. The sur.
face was printed like paper hangings, and
in some cases Autographed and was very
beautiful Another advantage of cover
ing of gum elastic vellum was that it could
be easily washed with soap and water
when it became soiled, and in addition to
this it was of great durability. In this
case also, however, it was found that the
process was too expensive TO permit of
its general use.-New York Commercial
