an examination as to whether he can

sANro TO BE PUNISHED.

In even less time than has been ex'
pected, the trial of Caesario Santo was
begun and finished, the verdict Of gull
ty and the death sentence having been
foregone conclusions from the outset.
None were surprised yesterday when
they read in the dispatches that Santo
had refused to appeal. 1t is not prob
able that 1t would have been granted
had he asked.
The whole trial was a typical in
stance of the French method of enact
ing justice upon criminals. There were
no Interruptions and no wordy battles
between ambitious attorneys. The sim
pie fact was ELECTED that Caesario San
to- prisoner at the bar. had wilfully
slain Sadl-Carnot, president of the
French Republic. 1t was also elected
that the prisoner knew what he was
about when he did the Staying, and was
glad he had done II. With these facts
in the possession of the jury, the trial
closed and the verdict of guilty was
brought In.
And this will end one of the most
celebrated historic crimes Of the CEN
tury--the unprovoled assassination of
the chief OF the least tyrannical nation
of Europe. There can be no doubt as
to either the justice OF the penalty of
Its necessity as an example Santo,
like all the anarchists who have pre-
ceded him to the guillotlne, maintained
nm air Of bravado from the first and
shouted "vive fanarchiep noisIly when
led away to his cell. But in spite of
.hese demonstrations 1t is not likely that
human beings. whether anarchists or
not, are any more In love with death
han they ever have been.
The certainty that deliberate murder
n behalf OF "the cause" is going TO
ring the murderer to stern punish-
nent must in the end abats this form
4 crime effectually.

CHOLERA IN EUROPE.

Cholera is again epidemic In some
PARTS Of Europe. while 1t has appeared
II. other places visited last year.
The peculiar feature of the scourge
this year is that II seems to be more
prevalent In Northern Russia than
anywhere else, and It has made In
roads in Finland where 1t has never
been known before. 1t has always
been supposed that the germs OF chol-
era, like those OF yellow fever, could
not survive severe frosts or periods OF
protracted colds, and yet is epidemic
in ST. Petersburg. where 40 degrees be-
low zero is not uncommon in the win
ter.
Appearances do not indicate that the
cholera OF Northern Russia has been
carried there during the present sea-
son, from southern infected localities.
II is reported as an outbreak OF the
disease and that Il has taken hold OF
all the districts OF the city. The di,
sease is also reported to be present in
Marseilles and in Germany. the Meth,
erlands, Austria. and Belgium.
How the United states has escaped
q visitation is almost miraculous, but
rigid quarantine has been the main
protective agency employed. The gov.
ernment has been Informed OF the prog
ress Of the disease abroad, and has
been forearmed against II.

nothing but muscle and material mixed.
That Is true OF ordinary jobs. Brains

Miss Merrifield's Mistake.

Miss Merriield accepted the offer of Mr..
Brooks escort from Mrs. Symonds' recep-
ton Miss Mortified adored Mr.. Brooks
and more than half suspected that Mr..
Brooks adored her. In fact, she hoped for
a declaration that very night.
Just as the pair stepped on the porch
Mr. Brooks was called back by the host
ess. A moment later Mr.. Enfield passed
through the door, and seeing Miss Merri-
field apparently unattended silently offered
her his arm. She, supposing him to be
Mr.. Brooks, took it eagerly, and they start
ed up the street together. Mr.. Brooks fol-
lowed, muttering curses ON the fickleness
of woman.
A little before reaching the house of Miss
Merrifield Mr.. Brooks, still walking be-
hind, saw the young lady break away from
her escort, rush frantically up the steps
and disappear within doors, and his soul
rejoiced at these signs of quarrel. Some
how the whole thing leaked out the next
morning, and before night the friends of
all the parties knew exactly what had hap
pened.
It seems that Mr. Enfield, piqued at
being called Mr.. Brooks by his absent
minded companion, had said, "Please,
Miss Merrifeld, don't call me Mr. Brooks, -
at which she, confident the declaration
had arrive9 at last, had murmured, "What
shall / call you, dear!" And then the cruel
disallusion had come, "Why, call me Mr.
Enfield, of course"
Miss Merrifield is reported to have gone

Roger, the celebrated French tenor, was
exceedingly proud of his profession and
was apt to take offense at the least slight
whether intended or not. On one occasion
he was engaged for the sum of $50 to sing
at the house of rich financier, who thought
It the correct thing to have ehe principal
singers of the day at his house parties.
Roger sang his first song magnificently
but not the slightest attention was paid
him, the guests talking their lou6est.
Presently the host thought that it was
about time for another song and sent for
Roger, but he could not be found and was
seen no more. On the following day Mr..
Plutus was surprised to receive from Roy
er notes to the amount Of ESQ with the fol-
lowing words:

Farm Notes.

Dig a pit two feet deep and four feet
square, in which place eighteen inches of
fresh, hot horse manure. On this place
the barrel and pick the heating materia
around the sides until the top is nearly
reached. Then place frame or box with
out bottom over the barrel. with cover
that can be lifted up when the swill is
removed. Pack this box full with care and
but little frost can get in. A pailful of hot
water poured in the barrel when half filled ,
will make the pigs warm drink at noon,
which will be appreciated. The heat will
last about six weeks, when the manure
should be renewed. If the barrel is placed
under shed, or where it will be protected
from wind and snow, the cold will have
still less effect on it. There is no advantage
in feeding frozen swill; pure water is much
better and the hogs need all they want to

The Size of the Sea.

There are not many people who, If they
were to be asked the question, could tell
the size of the salt waters of the earth. The
figures are SO great that they could only
say. with Dominic Sampson, "ProdigiousF'
Any yet some interesting illustrations and
comparisons may be given as to the size of
the sea, aud here is a simple one found in
Golden Days:
The whole sea is composed of the Allan
tic and Pacific, the Indian ocean, the Arctic
and Antarctic seas and various smaller
bodies of water. 1t has an area of 140,0 00,-
600 square miles and would form circle of
Il, $50 miles in diameter.
The relative size of the areas of the whole
surface of the earth, of the whole sea, of
the Pacific and of the Atlantic can be rep
resented by silver dollar for the. surface
of the earth, a half dollar for the surface of
the whole sea, 25 cent piece for the sur
face of the Pacific and silver half dime
for the surface of the Atlantic.
