Be1noaning.

A retail grocer was bemoan-
ing his failure to get along
prosperously in business, and
seemed to think it was not
his fault. The gentleman to
whom he was talking was an
ex-grocer who had retired
with a snug fortune made
out of the business. The ex-
grocer, in order to illustrate
one of the reasons why a bet
ter trade was lacking, called
for a bottle Of DR.. Prices
Flavoring Extract of Vanilla.
81 do not keep it." said the
grocer, "but l have an extract
just as good which | can sell
at a less price" Here was a
convincing proof that there
were very good reasons why
trade was poor. The ex-gro-
Ger says, 81 was successful
because I kept the best and
finest goods and sold them
at a fair profit. Poor goods,
no matter at what price sold,
will help to make your trade
dwindle. The acquisition or
loss of trade goes on silently
and steadily in proportion as
the grocer sells goods that
please those who patronize
him. 1 always sold DR..

Close on.eryer. of Nature.

The most successful beast tanners are
generally small, wiry fellows, with plen-
ty of nerve and good stock of trade se-
crets, derived from the close study of
wild animals. In the latter respect saw
ages, with their outdoor mode OF life,
have considerable advantage over their
civilized rivals. In the Chilean Andes
the naturalist Tschudi made the ac-
quaintance of creole farmer who con-
fessed that he had experimental for sew
eral years before he succeeded In cap
turing a live alpaca.
He had initiated the traps of the In
dians, their method of fixing them in
the sand of the river banks, their pre-
caution in obliterating the traces OF their
footsteps, but all in vain till an Indian
renegade revealed the secret-namely,
that the alpacas select their drinking
places where there is an audible ripple
in the current of the river, perhaps for
the same reason that cows prefer
brook to pond and running spring TO
sluggish creek.
The murmuring of the stream seemed
to suggest the idea of purer and cooler
water, and where the current was slow
the Indians contrived to produce ripple
by an artificial obstruction. Fran

surprising for the moment that he could

miles, but the railway connecting them
is twenty-three miles in length, and con-
seQuently twists and turns on itself.
The road runs in zigzag fashion mp the

feet above its starting point and then de-
sceuds some | 800 feet in the same man

MONETARY INSANITY.

The Australian murderer, Deeming, has
been found guilty, despite his plea of in
sanity. In America Deeming might have
been acquitted, for the plea of insanity is
not seldom successfully urged to save an
assassin from the gallows. The official
inspector OF lunacy in Melbourne and the
colonial medical board both pronounced
Deeming perfectly sane man before trial,
but in this country we have no such off,
cial inspector or commissioner, so that the
judge and the jury are at the mercy of
counsel. who raise the plea of insanity in
a murder trial. fill the courtroom with a
cloud of expert testimony. that is, doc
tors who are professionally retained to
swear away the murderer's sanity.
In Pennsylvania last autumn q Jury
allowed murderer to go free by declaring
him insane only at the moment OF his act,
despite the fact that science recognizes no
such theory Is momentary insanity. Such
verdicts are gross outrage on justice. In
France, England and Germany the state,
not the counsel, summons a commission
Of medical experts who decide impartially
as to the mental responsibility OF the
accused for crime. In the United States
the medical experts called are nothing but
professional paid witnesses and their con-
fiicting testimony leaves the average
ignorant, imbecile. sentimental Jury in Q
state of mental confusion which leads to
the acquittal of the accused. Concerning
this dangerous plea of insanity the Phil
adelphia Press says:
That mere emotion. mere paroxysm OF rage,
mere outbursts Of anger, mere wickedness and
mere vice are proofs positive of insanity is q
doctrine dangerous and without depth or
boundary The courts have at various times de-
cided that insanity. in order to relieve the ac-
cused from responsibility, must be absolute,
aud then that absolute insanity is not necessary;
that partial insanity Is, and Is not bar to re-
sponsibllity; that uncomfortable impulse does
and does not relieve OF responsibility, and that
expert testimony Is valuable and also that Il Is
worthless. The juries, however, have out
distanced the learned judges, by hanging some
insane and acquitting others, and by freeing
sane criminals.
In England and on the Continent the
law agrees with science that insanity is
disease, not q momentary emosion; the
plea of insanity is not entertained unless 1t
can be shown that the accused is an idiot.
