The death Of the earth and sun must
both come. and with their death the end
of all life upon this earth. but the human
race of today is taking care that it shall
cease to exist millions of years before
this shall come to pass.
SO rapidly have two kinds of accumu-
lated earth stores-petroleum and nat
ural gas-been exhausted in America
that within one generation alone stores
which were millions of years accumu-
lating will have been almost wholly ex-
hausted. And all this time population
increases so fast that at the rate OF
growth during the last twenty years the
inhabitants Of Great Britain in 139 years
time will number more than 800. 900. 900,
if indeed it were not practically an impos-
sibility for them to exist with only six
square feet of earth surface apiece to
live on.-Westminster Review.

PROTECTING AND BROW-BEATlNo.
The methods of trial in France have
none Of that moekery Of justice toward
criminals which often excuses them aud
palliates their crimes in this country.
Our methods are considered more
hnmane aud equitable, but the French
method is more certain Of procuring con.
siction and punishment.
In the examination and trial of Charles
De Lesseps. one Of the directors in the
Panama Canal Company, and the son Of
the great engineer the presiding Judge
frequently took part and "a.
sisted the prosecution in OBJ
aiming incrimlnating evidences from
he witness On the FIRST day Of
the trial the Judge asked Charles de
Lesseps concerning the use Of the enor.
nous sums Of money received by Baron
de Reinach and NJ. Cremeux. When an
evasive answer was given his honor
turned sharply upon the defendant and
asked: That is, you gave them the
dirty job which you preferred not to do
yourself but provided them with the
neaus Of doing itg' The reporter states
that Charles de Lesseps WINGED and
looked down, but made no reply"
OF course no reply could be made to

de evaded that.
IL is easy TO see when witness is
evading the truth and suppressing II
aud. seeing that judge in a French
court does not hesitate to assist in com.
pelling him to answer, or in making It
evident that he Is no. answering and
hence not a truthful witness.
In this country the practice IS practi.
ally reversed, so that a Judge some
times assists and nearly always pro.
tects a witness in lying.
The theory Of the French court is that
a witness is expected to give evidence. to
state the truth whether he likes it or not
the theory Of our courts is that a witness
may do pretty much as he plsases; and
unless the opposing lawyer Is shrewd
enough to entanRle him in his falsehooda
and entrap him into the truth be does
not give any evidence at all.
This method promotes the evil Of brow
beating which a certain class Of lawyers
frequently use upon honest witness, 4.
sometimes, unfortunately. to prevent
them from telling the truth. The
French method prevents that. It protects
the honest and scares the dishonest wit.

THIs intensely cold weather causes a
great deal of suffering. Even families
in moderate circumstances who usually
have enough food, fuel and clothing are
not perfectly comfortable now. Those
who are too poor at all times to buy the
luxuries Of life are now unable TO obtain
the necessities. This is time for the
exercise of the most liberal charity; Il is
time when every person can do some
thing, many can do much to succor
those who are In distress. No one should
fail TO do his part. There are
various organizations through which
men, not otherwise aware Of the
suffering, may assist but there are few
men and still fewer women who do not
know Of individual cases within their
own circle. perhaps, where little sweet,
kindly, unprecedented personal helpful.

no one should hesitate. The idea is not

themselves to incur, but to be helpful
