The vast mahogany forests of Nica- ragua are almost wholly controlled by Boston firms by contract with the Mica raguan government The export trade In the expensive wood has become very extensive, it having reached 6,000000 feet in 1893. In connection with this in- dustry 1t Is interesting to recall that the first mahogany logs imported into England were purchased by a doctor to use for medicinal purposes He ground them into powder, after the manner of Peruvian bark, and administered the powder in his prescriptions, but 1t seems not to have been desirable as a remedy. Then a titled lady secured one of the logs and had a cabinet made of it that was the admiration of her friends because of the beautiful grain of the wood. Such is the story, and Thereafter the wood was greatly in de- nnand.

A startling speech has just been de- livered by General Billet, the French Minister of War, which is regarded as likely ultimately to result in a cabinet crisis. He condemned the Revolution as having rendered the task of sub 5ecting to the yoke of discipline men 1mbued with the idea of liberty exceed ingly difficult. He declared that the military law of 1889 had opened the door to so many exemptions from ser vice that, owing to these dispensations, which are contrary to the spirit of the Constitution, not more than 50 per cent. of the conscription serve with the col ors, the exemptions being of distinct ly anti-equality and aristocratic char acter. He describes the commanders of the twenty army corps as satraps, sub- ject to no rule but their own will and pleasure, and argued in favor of the creation Of the office of generalissimo, which would confer upon it's holder the authority to control the commanders of army corps in time of peace.

It was developed In a recent court proceeding in Philadelphia that many inmates of the Eastern penitentiary in that city are insane, and are without the attention which should be given 10 insane people, and this, too, although Pennsylvania has a law providing for the removal of insane convlcts from the prisons to the asylums, Because of the agitation against convict-made goods, many of the prisoners are maintained in idleness, and some quarters this condition of things Is held to be re- sponsible for the increase in insanity Judge Gordon, before whom the revela- ton was made, says that in no in- stance did the warden of the prison or the prison physician make any effort for the transfer of an insane prisoner The judge is convinced that the admin istration of the prison has a tendency to promote insanity, and he intends ito call such attention to the general sub ject, both in the legislature and in other courts, that something may be done to put Pennsylvania fin the line of civilization and humanity in the treatment of it's criminal insane"
