THE RIPPER" CONVICTED.

The Jury In the Decming Case Return u
Verdict of Guilty and Declare the Ficnd
sane.
MELBOURNE, May The jury in the
Dceming case returned verdict of
guilty and added that the prisoner was
not insane. When the trial was re-
sumed in the central criminal court this
morning Dr. Springthorpc, the last
witness for the defense, related Deem
ing's explanation of how his wives
had disappeared Deeming said that
while he and his first wife were living
at Rain Hin, near Liverpool, man
named Ben Young had told him that
his CDeeming's) wife would leave him
for $50. He paid the money and his
wife left him. He supposed that Young
had killed her while he tneemingl was
coming 10 Melbourne with his second
wife( Miss Matherif for whose murder he is
now on trial. His second wife, Deem
ing said, confessed that she was al
ready married and she left him in Mel
bourne because She was afraid of being
implicated in the murder of his first
wife
Decming is noted for being notorious
liar and the above is a specimen OF his
ability in that line. The fact is that
the wife murderer hcr' led the police TO
notify the Liverpool police of their sus-
picion that Deeminr had murdered his
wife and children at Rain Hill It will
therefore be seen that his statement
relative TO his second wife leaving him
from fear Of being implicated in the
Rain Hin murder is without a single
grain of truth.

A CURIOUS book, in which the text is
neither written or printed, but woven,
has lately been published at Lyons. 1t
is made of silk, and was published in
twenty-five parts. Each part consists
of two leaves, so that the entire volume
only contains fifty leaves, inscribed with
the service Of the mass and several pray
ers Both the letters and the border
are in black silk on white background.
Perhaps, however, the most wonderful
book in the world is another one which
is neither written nor printed. Every
letter Is cut into the leaf, and as the
alternate leaves are Of blue paper it is
as easily read as the best printing. The
labor required and the patience neces-
sary to cut each letter may be imagined.
The work is so perfect that il seems as
though done by machinery, yet every
character was made by hand. The book
is entitled The Passion Of Christ" It
is a very old volume. and was a curiosity
as long ago as 1640. Il belongs to the
family Of the Prince de Ligne, and is
now in France. Rudolph H.. of Ger

READERS Of Dickens remember well

youths confided to the guardianship of
Mr. Squeers; the regular dose of brim-
stone and treacle served relentlessly
and without discrimination. To-day in
England, at Harrow, the boys are doc
tored en- masse. Each one is served
with two grains of quinine at morning
and night, as safeguard against the
influenza. The drug is administered
after prayers, and the ceremony has
thus a double solemnity. As the boys
go out in single file they are met by the
matron, who gives each one his choice
of powder or pill. The choice is made,
the drug is swallowed and so the line is
gradually shortened.
