INVESTIGATE. Kelly Says

 let us have an investigation of the drs de- partment and place the blame where it be- longs. Th-re is no doubt from what saw at i o'clock last Friday morning that there is something wrong in the Waterbury Fire department With only two lines of hose taking care of the rear of the Lawlor and Platt blc cks (where the fire was farce) that are connected with buildings up to Abbott avenue and with all the buildings Fac,nC on North Main street from Dexter 8 to new Odd Fellows hall. showed a state of affairs that seems to me ought to be in vestigated by the common council. Noth- lnc saved those buildings but the snowfall of that day Will the honorable board of common council appoint committee of five to investigate?
 Call in every member of the fire depart ment and find out if they were present at the fire or no. If not, for what reason.
 Call in the officials of the department and find out why better protection was not furnished in the rear of these two buildings where the fire causd the greatest destruction
 Call Tn the fire commissioners and find ont the reason of their recent secret pro- ceedings in regard to the disastrous fire.
 Ii you find that the volunteer depart ment is to blame. let us have paid one st once. If not to blame. "go up higher"
 If you find the officials were to blame. let us know it. If not. go up higher"
 Call in the commissioners and find out if they have furnished the present depart ment with necessary facilities for pro- tectlon against fire and means of waking the fremen at night which is one of the troubles.
 After such investigation the city govern ment will then be able to vote intslh- gently on questions pertaining to improve ments in the fire department.
 One of the greatest losses to the people that this fire might have caused would have been the destruction of l 400 barrels of old wheat flour, that makes winter bread. lighter bread and the bread will keep moist longer than that made from new.

Salt For Insanity.

A physician, in treating an insane pa- tient, found it admirable to make use of subcutaneous injections of salt. The pa- tient had obstinately refused all nour- ishment, and tho salt was given as an experiment in nutrition, this treatment having been made use of some time pre- viously. To the doctors surprise, some of tho worst symptoms of insanity dis appeared. Further trials convinced the faculty of the value of this discovery, and, according to all indications, there is ill this course the germ of discovery that will entirely revolutionize the treatment of the insane We are told that the human body consists of about a dozen elements. When these are present in too great quantity or are lacking, we are ill The great art is to decide just what element needs regulating When this is done, we are restored to health. New York Ledger.

WHY THE MAMmoTHs FRozE.
Howorth's Theory With Regard to the
 Relaains Found In Siberia

Reiaains Found In Siberia.
 In Howorth's book, entitled "The Mammoth and the Flood, :" the author advances a unique theory with regard to the remains of the mammoth, or hairy elephant, which is found in such inn mense numbers in Siberia. These erea- lures were so plentiful at one time in that country that ivory hunters found it more profitable to go there in search of that valuable article than to South Af- rica, where elephants are supposed to be as numerous as boodlers in New York city. Howorth says that they are inva- riably found under conditions which make it certain that they could not have lived unless the surroundings and cli- mate had been entirely different from those existing at present. The remains of plants upon which they fed and the southern contemporary shells which are also frequently found with the remains point to 8 sudden and wonderful change of climatic conditions.
 If Professor Howorth's argument is to be given any weight, the Siberian plateau is one of the most recent fea- lures ill the known physical geography of the world. He figures that the pla- teau was suddenly raised to its present height and that, prior to it's sudden ele- vation, it was warm stretch of low land furnishing pasturage to thousands of mammoth brutes. The rapid eleva- tion, according to his deductions, sud- denly eongealed the waters and froze the gigantic animal bodies through and through, thus preserving them intact until the present day. He says that un- less these animals had been frozen i'm. :. mediately after death they would eer- tainly have decayed and disappeared.
 h some places, far to the east in Si- beria, as we'll as in the mountainous regions of Alaska on our continent the remains of the mammoth and other great extinct animals have been found at a height of 17,000 feet above sea level. Howorth and Balcony both declare this to be incompatible with their mode of life. Louis Republic.

A Noted English Precedent Which Stamps

Them as InviolabIe.
 8The matter of condolences between counsel and client is one of great inter est and importance, ]" said well known jurist and ex-judge the other day.
 ''As to the duty of lawyer on tho trial of a case where he has been in- formed by his client that he is guilty, the best and most controlling example is that of Charles James Phillips, the eminent British barrister who i'll many directions was rated i'll his time as sec ond only to Lord Erskine.
 He was defending Courvoisier, who was indicted for the murder of Lord Russell During the trial, on the exam ination of very important witness for the people, the accused was much over come and i'll the intensity of his emo tion communicated either to Mir. Phil lips or to his solicitor the fact that he was guilty of the crime.
 stMr. Phillips immediately asked for an adjournment of the case and for 8 consultation with the judges. The con sultation was granted. and Mir. Phillips stated to the bench that the accused had confessed his guilt and requested the judges to point out to him his path of duty. Tho judges, after deliberation, stated that he would have perfect right to make such legal and logical de- duetions from the evidence as he thought tended to tho exculpation of the accused, but it would bo unprofessional to state to the jury any personal belief of his innocence.
 In his argument to the jury Mir. Phillips, carried away by his emotions and imagination, did state to the jury his own personal belief in the innocence of his client, and this statement of his occasioned much criticism afterward. '' New York Horald.

THE WEALTH OF THE WORLD.
Great Sum of Foreign Securities Held Im
 England and France.


 Tho reported valuation of all proper ty in tho United States by the census of 1890 was S65, 037, 091, 197, or $1, 038 per capita for the entire population. This enumeration, however, dealt with prop erty located in the United States and did not go into the question where it is owned. If the estimate of MT. Robert Giffen is correct, that S5, 000, 000 900 in foreign capital was invested i'll this country in 1880, probably an even lar ger amount is so invested at the present time Deduction should also be made for the high value put upon waste pub lie lands i'll the census, with the net re- suit that the per capita valuation of the United States would be reduced to about $950 or $4, 750 for family of five. Estimates made by careful econ- omists who come pretty near agree ment among themselves put the valu- ation of Great Britain about nine years ago at $50, 900, 900, 900 and that of France at $40, 900, 900, 900. This would afford DOT capita valuation of $1 338 for Great Britain and 8 08l for France, making the valuation for family of five $6, 690 in Great Britain $5, 405 in France. The figures of France are placed higher by some authors, and the total in both countries includes careful estimates of the large holdings of for eign securities, some of them covering property located ill the United States.
 The great holdings of foreign seouri- ties, estimated to amount ill Great Brit ain to about $S, 900, 900, 900, explain to Q large extent the adverse balance of foreign trade constantly shown by the British statistics. Great Britain would long ago have been denuded of her gold and become bankrupt if the excess of in- ports over exports shown by her trade statistics were a true measure of her financial condition. The fact that about $400, 900, 900 is due her annually i'll interest charges upon British capital placed abroad explains how she can af- ford to import several hundred million pounds sterling of foreign merchandise in excess of the domestic merchandise which she exports. France is estimated to hold $4 GOO, 900, 900 of foreign seeuri- ties, largely Italian and Spanish, and she also has been able to show large balance of imports of merchandise over exports during the last two decades, while piling up in the vaults of the Bank of France and distributing through her monetary circulation larger mass of coin than any other commercial coun- try. y.-United States Investor.

It Is the Place Occupied by the Protector

of the Family.
 'sIt Is common enough, " said MT Gratebar, ito see q man sitting i'll the aisle end of pew in church get up on the arrival of some other member of the family, step out into tho aisle to let the late conner in, and then resume his seat at the end of the pew. It seems to me that 1 have read that this custom origi- mated ill New England in the carly days, when the men all sat by the aisle so that they could seize their guns and get out promptly in case of attack by Indians We don't have much to fear from Indians nowadays, but the seat by the aisle is still occupied by the head of the family. He stands in the aisle while the others pass in, and then calmly takes his place i'll the end seat, at the head of the line, as sort of general protector.
 Sometimes ill these days, we are SC very free from Indians now, the head of the family thinks it is safe for him to stay at home when he has headache, and then the young son takes his place. imagine that he talks it over with his mother on the way to church, so that it is all understood. When they get to the pew. he stands ill the aisle while his sis ters and his mother pass in. l fancy that his sisters are rather glad when they are all seated and no longer conspicuous, but upon his mother face as she brushes past him into the pew thero is smile of affectionate pride, and then ho takes his seat in his fathers place and sits thero with tino boyish dignity Nov York Sun
