Tho New York Law Journal recently
contained an editorial article favoring
a modification Of tho test of insanity in
criminal cases. Tho ability to distin-
guish between right and wrong in ref
eronce to tho act committed and to
know that it was wrong Is a standard
Of mental capacity required in New
York to render q person responsible for
crimes committed by him.

saying that a person is either sane or
insane. The state in which the mind
acts correctly as to its Judgment, but
the will is controlled by some Impulse
which the MIND cannot master, is not
recognized IN many criminal courts,
because IL has been found that the ex-
cuse Of irresistible impulse led to too
great a number Of acquittals in cases
where defendants were really guilty of
serious Odenses.
In civil cases It is easier to deal with
persons whose minds are so affected
that they cannot come to correct con-
illusions as to certain subjects. The Is
sues at stake are frequently less impor-
tant, and it is possible to Learn whether
a particular net was done under tho in
huence of the delusion or mental weak
ness which affects the person concerned.

Of the old fort at the Battery. The peo-

1t is sheer nonsense to pretend that

out Of devotion to the art. All she
wants is notoriety and to possess that
attraction in the eyes of mon which she
imagines the ballet girl possesses In
almost every case she dances so badly
that there is no excuse for her from the
artistic point of view, and if skirt dano-
ing is not artistic it is vulgar or ridicu-
lous or both. In either case it is a fash

Another story illustrative Of the daily
life of a Chicago millionaire may help
to explain why some people have more
money than others
This millionaire invited a visitor
from another city to meet him at n GER
tain hour and accompany him to the
stookyards, where he has large interests.
The millionaire rode mp in a sidebar
buggy somewhat the worse for mud and
wear, drawn by a shaggy but active
horse. He explained that before starting
for the yards he would have to 60 to one
Of the large banks down town, as he
was on the board which regulated loans,
and he had to pass on an application
for a loan Of $500, 900.
They stopped in front of the bank,
and the rich man hurried in and re-
manned several minutes. he came out
ON a run, and they started rattledy bang
for the stookyards and Packingtown.
When they arrived and were entering
the packing house, they saw an old man
sorting out into barrels a heap of bones
and fatty remnants. The bones were
trimmed and put into one barrel and
the flesh and fat into another barrel.
The millionaire owner OF the place
walked over to the workman and began
asking questions Then he drew of his
coat, rolled back his shirt sleeves to the
shoulder and began rummaging among
the bones. He found several which had
not been properly stripped, and the
workman received a soolding which he
will remember all his life.
The stripping Of those bones was just
as important as the l~oaning of $500, 600.

Many curious customs are in vogue
