He Could Not Bear the Drops. a.-- | -.- .

From The s. Louis Globe Dem ocrAt-1
 ''I saw An amusing experiment. in Kan sss City yesterday" sAid Henry Weller, of omshs, who is at Hurst's. Some one stated that DO man could stand 6 quart of water dropped on to his hand, drop by drop, from 6 height of two or three feet. bystander bet twenty dollars to one that he could, aud the wager was accepted. In less than a minute there was s blister on the msu's hand, and In less than three minutes his fscs gave evidence of intense suffering. BrfOr- pint had been dropped be gave up exhsEsted. and described the senssiion as the most terrible one he had ever experienced The man who pocketsd the twenty dollars offered 10 give odds of ten 10 one that DO one could stand pint of water droppsd on his head drop by drop. When he could get TO takers he volunteered the statement that no one could have gone through the ordeal and retain bis reason, a statement nobody pres -nt seemed qualified or anxious to contra dlc."

CRONs.RXA RELAXATION,

It Is interesting to see @ lawyer who Is ia brilliant cross.exsmiuer' work. It is especially interesting to see his efforts when 8 witness Ia trying to stick to some truth which the brilliant cross-examiner doesn't want the witness to stick to. He attacks the memory of ths witnsss and tries to make him confess that day bsfore He attacks his credibilIty, and insiaustes that nobody has had any faith ia the wit mesa word since hs got whipped at school for saying that two and two make five. He attacks his reputation and his character, and tr.ss to make him uncertain of his standing with his fellow men or with himself He searches for the weak place in the srmor of the witness temper, hoping to get him enrsged aud to make him cay something that can bs mlsused. Hs snssrs and hs laughs and he jssrs. He endsavors in every way that he has learned to dIscon- esrt the witness. If the battle between truth aui fsisehood goes to suit him the poor witness Is p-rhsps dismissed from the etand withou. parting kick. II not the brilliant cross examiner says That's sll, in a tone intsnded to convey to the jury his desp disspproval of a man who won't He to uit him.
 These conts sts brtxeen brilliant cross examiners and witnesses are common and their real quality Ia somewhat ob.cured by tho tolerance with which they are re- gsrded. But brilliant cross-exsminstion has just received a tetback in Chicago which will attract coma attention and 1t Is to be hoped lead to change. It was ad- ministered by Judge Gary who showed that he wss @ man of nerve when he presided over the trial of the Chicago anarchists. brilliant eross-examiner had SO insuited and abused the opposing witnesses that he had disconcsrted them, impressed the jury with an erroneous idea that they were un' worthy of belief, snd so won his case. He probably p!umed himsslf greatly on his sue. cess until Judge Gary granted a new trial or
 the express ground that his cross- examins.
 ton was 80 successfully brilliant" IT
 granting the new trial Judge Gary said
 "Witnesses should not be insulted wher
 on the stand, nor should a cross-exsmina
 ton be 8 contest of nerve or skill between
 the witness and the lawyer. In this Stat,
 the courts have so little control of the pro
 ceedings before them that really no othsl
 way is left to enforce decorum toward
 witnesses and in the addresses to juror than to gran. new trisls for breaches O
 i."

 Judge Gary has established 6 precsden , which ought to bs generally accepted an,

NATURAL HISTORY FOR WOMEN.

Some of the women whom Professor Ukits doesn't comprehend are accused of cruelty to the animal known as the cham eleon, or ground lion, or mud lizard, and there Is qaite a stir over the matter. So much that 1t has even distracted the stten- tIon of the Register from football, and caused 1t to advocate the formation If 6 CO., ciety of women for the study of the cham eleon, or ground Hon, or mud lizard.
 We commend the Register for ita tender ness toward the chsngesble chameleon. It is indicative of a good heart, and, as we all know, the Registers heart Is its best organ. We also believe that study of natural history would be good thing for the women of New Ha- ven, including the Colonial Danes. But need they go to the mud lizard to be wisei Would 1t not be better for them 10 kindly chloroforn their unhappy mud lizards and turn their attention to something practical, For instance. the ant that Is so frequently found In the sugar bowl, or In the pie, or even floating in the soup, like a shipwrecksd sailor in 6 great ocean. Care ful study of this soolsble little animal would certainly bs improving to the minds of women and 1t might also lead to i'm prevent in our daily sugar, pie and soup. Then thsre is the water bug, which, like the ant aforesaid, rejoices to live In ceiled houses and to mingle with even the best society. Little Is known about him, although he has long been living with folks. He should be studied. It could probably bs shown that he derives his vigor and power of increase largely from an incorporate use of water, and 1t might be discovered that if he could bs taught to indulge in alcohol he would die off ss fast ss he now runs when the kitchen door is suddenly opened. Of course 1t would be cruel to thus destroy him, but 1t could be looked upon ss 8 necessity, just as the destruction of 1n- diars by rum Is. When the water bug Is disposed of that other bug which enjoys and moves in human society could be tackled. We mean the one that works nights, and is as much at home with blue blood as any other kind. He ought to bs studied by our women more than he is, and If any way can bs found to change his diet 1t should be. If not, easy and efficient methods of putting him out of society should be invented. The cruelty that ex- hibits itself toward liz ,rds might even be directed toward him if he would not change his ways.
 We offer these practical suggestions, be- lieving tkat there Is more need of them than there is that the mud lizard should bs studied. They may not meet the approval of the Register, and We do not expect to see them made the bssis of pspsrs read in the Saturday Morning Club. But we know that they would be approved by the original Colonial Danes, who took pride in knowing enough about natural history to be good houseksep.rs. We think they gre worthy the attention of the | present Colonial Danes, the Daughters oi | the Revolution, the Daughters of the | American Revolution, snd slso of thoss | who are only tine daughters of theil | fathers aud mothers.
