SOME CURIOUS CULPRITS.
Anathemas of the Church Have Been
Hurled at Mosquitoes and CaterpIIlars.

Anathemas of the Church Have Been
Hurled at Mosquitoes and CaterpIllars.
History supplies many instances of
curious culprits. Vermin have in all
ages proved prolific devastators. 1t
was the custom in medieval times for
sufferers by their depredations to have
recourse to the church which, in due
time, Illuminated anathemas against
the culprits. The procedure in such
cases resembled that in vogue in the
ordinary legal tribunals. The plaintiff
appointed counsel, the court accorded
one to represent the defendants, and
the ecclesiastical judge summed up
and gave sentence. Bartholomew de
ChasseneuX, noted lawyer of the six
teenth century, was great authority
in this department of law and custom,
being the author of an exhaustive
treatise on the subject, said to combine
remarkable skill with vast erudition.
He was also a successful advocate in
these peculiar trials. On one occasion
he was appointed counsel for the de-
Tense in n case where a horde of rats
were sued for devastation committed
in the harvest fields of large portion
Of the province of Burgundy. Chas-
seneux's defense in this important
trial was considered very clever,
although to modern ears it sounds
like a tissue of nonsense. He showed
that the rats had not received formal
notice, and obtained announcement
that the parsons of the afflicted par
ishes should announce an adjournment,
and summon the defendants to appear
on certain day. On the adjourned
trial, he complained that the delay ac-
corded his clients had been too short
to allow of their appearance, in conse-
quence of the road being infested with
cats. He succeeded in obtaining a
second adjournment, and finally no
verdict was given. In early times there
was superstition that coo ks laid eggs,
and that from these eggs sprang bas-
ilisks, or >horrible-winged serpents.
Gross, in Petite Chronique de Bale re-
lates that in 1474 an abandoned cock of
that town was accused of having laid
one OF these eggs, and was tried, con-
victed and sentenced to death. The
culprit was delivered to the execution
er, who burned it publicly, along with
its egg, in place called Kohlenberg-

one of the finest diamonds in the
world was found not long since in the
Brazilian sands. 1t came in novel
form. A small quartz rock was found
about the size and shape of an egg, ~
ing in the sand along the banks of the
Amazon, in Brazil. This was carried
home by Brazilian peasant, who was
attracted by its odd shape and light
weight. For some time it lay in his
home with number of other geologi-
cal specimens, mere curiosity. Hap
Dcning one day in handling it to drop
it on stone block, it burst open and
lay in halves on the block. The hol-
low interior that gave the light weight
to the stone was filled with blood-red
sand. In this sand lay the diamond, a
sparkling stone of the rarest quality.
The stone was later sold to a diamond
merchant and left the finder exceed
ingly wealthy.

err, among a large concourse of people
assembled to witness such ludicrous
execution. Felix Malicious relates
that proceedings were instituted at
Mayence in the thirteenth century
against some offending mosquitoes,
and states that the judges before whom
these unwelcome insects were tried
pronounced sentence of Punishment
against them. Snails were sentenced
in a case at Macon in August, 1887,
while in 1885 plague of caterpillars
suffered the penalties of excommuni-
cation.

A PRINCELY WEDDING.
Marriage Of the Duke of York and
Princess May.
An Event without Precedent In English
History-It Will Occur i'm the Near
Future-Interesting Histor-
icaI Facts.

If the duke of York and Princess
May of Teck shall be married, as
there is full reason to expect, during
the lifetime of the queen and the
prince of Wales, the event, says the
New York Tribune, will be one with
out precedent in English history. 1t
is seldom, indeed, that a prince Of
Wales has been married; but never yet
has the son of a prince of Wales. as
such, been married in his fathers life
time. Nor was there ever even a mar
riagc engagement under such circum-
stances until that of the late duke of
Clarence.
The first prince of Wales became
King Edward ii. before he took wife;
and his successor followed his exam
pie. As for the Black Prince, he was
already prince of Wales when he
welded the fair maid of Kent, and his
son waited until he became King
Richard II. before he was married. So
with Henry of Monmouth, Shakes
peare's prince of Wales; he had been
king for seven years before he wooed
the fair Katherine. Edward of West
minister was one of the few princes of
Wales who married before succeed
ing to the throne, but he left
no children when he met his
death after Tewkesbury. Edward
V. was murdered in his boyhood
in the tower, and the only son of Rich.
ard III. died at the age of ten. The
two elder sons of Henry VII. both bore
the title of prince of Wales, the
younger becoming Henry VIII, but
their father was never prince of
Wales Edward VI. died in his youth,
and then there was no prince of Wales
for many year until two more broth

A Pugnacious Carp.

At Columbus, Ind, recently carp
which weighed eight and a half
pounds had been left in a small sound
of water by the recent overflow, and
was discovered by a dog, who began
barking at it. The fish began jumping
at the dog, and his gills and fins be-
came distended, plainly showing his
intense anger Finally the dog sprang
at the fish, and, plunging under the
water, brought the carp out and laid it
on shore.

She who was the wickedest of them
all had gathered herself together and
sat crouched like wild beast, staring
straight at the Christ. her rough head
sunk between her shoulders, and her
knees up to her chin.
When the service was over the sun
still fingered upon the picture. The
bell sounded, and the prisoners arose to
lille out of the chapel, but the violent
woman did not stir. The attendant
thought she meant new mischief. and
came up behind Ter, and taking her by
the arm said:
"Get up and go Quit"
She received no response. Fearing
the woman might make disturbance,
the officers waited until the other pris
ers had left the chapel, expecting a
hand-to-hand tussle with the Insubordi
nate. Approaching her again, the officer.
asked quietly:
why didn't you go out? Come, get
up nOww
10 her amaZement, the woman, who
never had shown them the least sign of
tender emotion, turned upon her soft
ened face and lnolStened eyes. AS she
arose she said:
Yes, will go. | only want to see
that" pointing to the picture. Il don't
want to see anything but that"
They led her weeping to her solitary
cell. a few days later she quietly asked
