IN THE PORTRAIT GALLERY.

Grandfather looks from the panelcd wall
AT grandmother hanging across the hall
In the ripened glow of her stately grace,
And a frown comes over her shadowed face
As he says: ''rhe world has grown askew,
My dear, since we were young-we two.
"Nothing that was Is the same today;
Old time fancies are cast away;
an our scruples are laughed 20 scorn;
All our customs are quito outworn.
Each is seeking for something new
We were content with the old-we two"
Into the shade Of the grim old room
Steal two forms through the twilights gloom.
Grandfathcrs eyes are sharp 20 see,
And a deep voice utters tenderly
"For aye Will love. and love but you,
And wen follow love TO the end-we two"
Grondfather's face has lost its frown,
And his eyes grown softer gaze gently down
On the pair who naught OF his watching know
And grandmother smiles and whispers low,
zone thing goes on as IL used 10 do
In the days when we were young-we two"

rvidence I'M Two nrurder cases.

In case Of murder by strangulation
the woman who perpetrated the crime
had been a nurse in an infrmary and
accustomed TO lay out dead bodies.
After the murder she carried out un-
thinzingly her professional practice by
smoothing the clothes under the body Of
her victim, placing the legs at full
length, the arms out straight by the side
and the hands open. The doctor who
was called in at once declared such a
condition of the body was inexplicable
ON the supposition Of suicide, consider
ing the amount of violence that must
have attended the strangulation.
In another case the criminal had at
tempted to make the death appear like
the act Of suicide by placing the lower
end Of the rope near the hand of the de-
ceased but he selected the left hand.
whereas the deceased was right handed,
and he did not leave enough rope for
either hand to grasp in order to produce
the very violent construction Of the neck
which had been caused by the two coils
on the rope. A surgeon pointed out
these things. Both criminals confessed
their crimes before execution.-TorontC
