The Father of Modern Jurisprudence.

Louis TX was practically the founder
Of modern Jurisprudence. About the
year 1241 he noticed the abuses which
were caused in France by men taking
into their own hands the work of re-
dressing their own wrongs, and pub
Iished a proclamation establishing the
quarantine du roi. This forbade private
redress for wrongs for the space of forty
days after the injury was committed.
During that time the injured person
must seek redress and satisfaction in the
kings court, and if his wrong were not
righted at the end of forty days he
might then take it's rectifcation into his
own hands.
This proclamation made justice speedy
and tolerably sure, although of course
it's administration was in a rough and
ready way, and unless the records are at
fault some law of this kind prevailed in
Louisiana at the time when Missouri
was part of the French kings posses
sions.-Philadelp Ledger.

How New York Appears to a Foreigner

Of the ugliness, confusedness and shah
biness Of New York nothing new can be
said; but full justice is done to the Cen
trail park, which in another generation
will be the most beautiful public resort
in the world. 1t would, however, be al
together unfair to judge of America by
New York; no other town in the Union
can vie with it in dirt, inconvenience
and meanness of appearance.-London

Writing Letters without Sight.

A woman whose eyesight has passed

upon which paper is laid that she says

was pain. l put pin in where leave

Nickel Armored Ships Can't Go Nortl

The remarkable discovery of the eff
feet of temperature on the density of
nickel steel is likely 10 have an i'm
portant bearing on its use in the con-
struction of war vessels. After this va
riety of steel has been frozen it is read
lily 1nagnetized, and, moreover, its den
sity is permanently reduced fully per
cent. by the exposure TO the cold. 1t is
stated that a ship of war built in the
temperate climate of ordinary steel and
clad with say 5000 tons of nickel steel
armor would be destroyed by visit to
the arctic regions, owing to the con-
traction of the steel by the extreme low
temperature.-New York Journal.

THERE has been more or less fric-
ton between the two boards which are
charged with the work of managing
the Worlds Fair, and the bitches have
sometimes been quite serious. The
Board of Directors and the Commits
s:oners have at last decided to make
an arrangement that will prevent
clashes of authority in the future.
They have created a Council of Ad-
ministration, composed of two mem
bers from each board This Council
will have almost unlimited authority,
and President IIieinbothom of the Di-
rectory is chairman. 1t is to be hoped
that they will be able to run things

A REMARKABLE conflict ended on

the Normannia were landed on Fire
Island below New York harbor. Gov
ernor Flower thought to cut the Cor

victims of the quarantine by purchas-
ing Fire Island and he planked down
$50. 600 for the first payment. But
the people of Babylon and 1slip, towns
on the neiehboring island, objected
forcibly to the use of Fire Island for
ruch philanthropic uses. They OBJ
tanned an injunction on the ground
that there was danger of contagion
from cholera. Governor Flower at
