THE CRIME LESE MIJESTE.

The Chief Modern Sufferer is the Empe-
 TOT of GerInany-But There Have Been
 Others-Some Instances of Unintention-
 al Injury to Majesty in Old Times and
 the Punishments Inflicted Therefor by
 Olden Counts.
 (From the St. Louis Globe-D -Democrat.)
 The frequent appeals of the German emperor to the law of lese majeste, which commonly appears in the foreign dispatches as 'lese majestatis," and in full should be ''crimen laesae majesta- tis," have brought prominently to the attention of the modern reading public this once dreaded legal means which an absolute monarch was formerly able to use in order to accomplish almost any wrong that occurred to him as de- sirable. Of all severe laws in an age when all laws were severe this was the most feared, for it was capable of so many different applications and expla nations that it could be made to fit all most any case that arose, and was used as a formidable means of oppression when the monarch desired to gain the property or take the life of subject who had grown too rich or become too powerful to suit the ideas of royalty. Translated, the words mean simply injured majesty but when kings were absolute majesty was so easily in jured. and there were so many ways by

One by one the roses fall and one by one the scientific theories fade. It now appears, and will so appear until some thing else appears. that we have been all wrong about drinking water. We have been scientifically told that the water we drink should be as pure as possible, and that it would be better to boil it and thus kill the animals in it. Professor Ray Lankester is a fla nous English scientist and he made a statement recently about drinking wa ter before the Royal Institution. He told his hearers that if they wanted to dodge cholera and typhoid and such- like unpleasant things they had better imbibe good rich Thames water, neither boiled nor filtered" River wa ter of that kind, he said, is safer to drink for the very reason that it is teeming with microbes of various spe- cieS which prey upon each other and so give the human organism chance, whereas in pure spring or lake water, the typhoid germ, for example, flourish es unmolested by the harmless bacte- ria, whose function is that of killing the disease germs. so that typhoid has 8 clear field.
 It has long been nistrusted by many that the prevalent understanding of bacteria couldn't be correct, for if it were everybody would be dead. If the more bacteria there are in drinking water the merrier and healthier hu- man beings are all is well, or at least, as well as the professors can make it.

WILL NOT BE 4 CANDIDATE.

There are some men tout West" who say what they think, and "say it strong" For instance an Illinois man has declined to be candidate for the legislature for the following reasons: do not like the legislature: I do not drink whiskey; can't play poker, can't tell story, and am not in 1t little bit with the boys. Then the legislature meets at 10 and adjourns at il; meets at and quits at 4. We leave Spring. field Thursday and get back Tuesday An honest member feels like he was a dead beat, and hates to face honest men who know he is drawing $5 a day and doing almost nothing to earn it. If any one wants to know how rotten Illinois politics is he ought to go to Springfield and stay three days or a week, and he will be disgusted to the end of time. If the people knew what the conduct Of the average legislator is they would surely be up in arms about it.
 This is away out in Illinois. No Con- necticut man will be found declining to be a candidate for the legislature for any such reasons. He wouldn't dare to islander Connecticut and it's legislature like that,

least he could expect was beheading. The French kings took special pains with this class of offenders, and mum Der of punishments were. devised for their exclusive benefit
 If the journalists who have lately of- fended the Kaiser had lived five hun dred years ago they probably would have been fayed alive, as at that time this punishment was common in Ger many for the crime with which they were charged. Tn England hanging drawing and quartering' was the com mon punishment. Breaking on the wheel was a common punishment in both France and Spain.
 The journalists who have offended Kaiser William are singularly fortu- nate in living in an age which looks lightly on an insult offered to the ma,- jesty of the sovereign High treason against the state is still regarded as the gravest of crimes, but jest at the expense of the sovereign is no longer treason, and the Emperor William in trying to give this interpretation to the law simply shows how far he is behind the times

 The best form of corset for the wheel is girdle that spreads only the least bit at the bust. This girdle is finished by an elastic top that fits to low-neck curved line. It is so loose that there Is no tendency to protrusion below the waist, and physicians say that the muscular effort woman is obliged now to make to keep the line of the body in place below the waist, uncon- fined as it Is on the wheel by the usual corset, is one of the chief beneficial fea- luIeS ol picycle pTdctice.

FASHION NOTES.
Midsummer Fashion Rulings,

Bracelets are again to be worn, and the ring of heavy silver or gold that Is made without fastening to slip over a slender hand is just now the fad, A slender hand that is at the same time flexible will go into a wonderfully small ring and they do say that some of the girls have rings welded on their hands that they could never slip into, and then they pretend that they are wished on" so that they cannot take them off.

A prominent Hollander, Herr Huet of Delft, has published a plan for securing the Dutch in the peaceful possession of Achin by means of a great engineering scheme. He proposes nothing less than the construction of dykes in the region occupied by the Dutch posts in Great Achin. covering an area of some 5000 hectares, or about a third of the sur face of the ancient bed of the Haarlem Nicer. and the creation of a reservoir in the Achin river near Lamboroe. By this means it would become possible, in case of need, to inundate the territory outside the Dutch posts. Furthermore, he recommends strongly the construc- lion of two moles at the mouth of the river. The defence of the port might be provided for by the erection of q fortress or military post. The writer declares that the execution of the plan is quite within the scope of the engin- eering science of the Dutch, and adds that, apart from its military value, it would confer a lasting benefit upon the country. The proposal has attracted attention enough to make it the subject of discussion.

wages of the janitor, Mr. Towle, SAC
for the year making his salary $4,000

BLuEBERRY INDUSTRY

Il Blueberries arc still coming into
town at about the same rate that
they did last week. Up to the pres
ent time Jas. Walsh has purchased
and shipped from here over 1900
quarts and without doubt by the
time the berry season is over he will
raise these figures to nearly $4,000,
certainly over 10000 as he . is re-
ceiving and shipping from 1900 to
1000 quarts daily. For q large
part Of these berries he paid seven
cents per quart and it is thought
that the price will average from 8
to ~ cents per quart for the sea
son. Of course a large part of the
berries have been picked by the IN
diaps. But many families in the
village as we'll as many Of the farm
! ers have found berry picking quite
fruitful source of income. Some
families have picked and sold as
high as seventy-tive and eighty dol
lars worth of berries and as the sea-
sou only lasts about three weeks it
has added materially to their income
while taking only, little of their time
besides the money brought into cir
culatlon in the village from this
source is no small item and cuts
quite figure in what would other
wise be the dullest season OF the
year. -
