with reference to unlicensed practition-
ers. IF nature has lent healing power
to man, it shall not be taken from him
by the police" This expert, a man thor
oughly imbued with spiritualistic views,
gave it as his opinion that among the
medical men licensed by the state healing
power was not proportiouate to scientific
knowledge, and eXpatiated, in spite
of TIE frequent interruptions of the
president of the court, on matters rather
remotely connected with the real
subject of the trial-spiritualism among
the ancient Egyptians, things he had seen
in America, etc. On the ground of his
observation of Jost on a single occasion
he had arrived at the conclusion that sim

his case.
After the testimony was in, elaborate
speeches and arguments were made by
the counsel, and the court adjourned the
case for a week, for consideration. At
the end of that time Il announced its de
cision, holding Jost guilty of fraud, and
imposing upon him a sentence to sixteen
months Imprisonment.

Boucher to the queen, and some time
later presented Madame de Pompadour
with another, made of delicate lace and
set with miniatures so fine and small
that they can be satisfactorily examined
only with a magnifying glass.
With the revolution, and the manifold
changes which it brought in its bloody
strain, the fashion in fans underwent a
complete metamorphosis, and instead of
the NEUROLOGICAL and allegorical scenes
which had become the rage, ahe ladies
affected portraits of prominent men, such
as Mira beau, Robespierre, and Marat.
Charlotte Corday held a fan in one hand
while with the other she seized the dag
ger concealed in her kerchief and stabbed
the tYrant Mlarat in his bath. This fan,
which is mentioned in her trial and
which Hauer has represented in his paint
ing of her, is carefully preserved in Caen,
! her native town.

May, I'LL, gives a most Entertaining de-

timorous tiutter, the confused tlutter, the

In the eighteenth century at dancing

| places of fashionable resort, gentlemen
chose their partners by lottery of

AN AIR BUBBLE
Formed Within a Gold Piece Caused g
Southern Man Trouble.

Washington, May 25.-R f. Preston,
the director of the mint, to-day received
from a special inspector of customs at Ell
Paso s. gold piece with a request for a
decision as to its genuineness, the in
spectOr stating that it was the evidence
against party accused of passing count
erfeit gold coin.
Director Preston observed that the coin
lacked sorority, and from its genuine APP
pearance suspected that, owing to too
rapid rolling OF the gold strips prepare
tory to cutting the planchets, an air bub-
BILE or blister was formed Just at the spot
in the strips from which the coin was cut.
With a steel ink eraser Mr.. Preston split
the coin far enough to ascertain that his
diagnosis was correct. 1t is stated that
these slight imperfections occur occa-
sionally, especially when the strips are
rolled rapidly. The coin will be returned
with the statement that it is genuine.
