claiming that his professional opinion
WAS his own properly. ana could not be
taken away from him except by due
process of law. as provided in the state
constitution. Judge Creighton ruled
against him and fined him for contempt
of court. The court held that this pro
fessional knowledge was not property
within the meaning of the constitution,
and that in the exercise of the right of
the court to summon witnesses and
compel them TO testify no distinction
could he made between kinds of knowl-
edge. To add such a distinction would
defeat the ends of Justice. The finding
of Judge Creighton is upheld by the SUI

The labor leader who says that low
wages comes from the competition OF
women. and that this is why male
workmen cannot afford to marry. Is
more or less right; but unfortunately
women have to live somehow, and they
must have money to do it. The diff
Guilty with labor leaders is that they
look at things as they ought to be and
not as they are; but capital as well as
labor is subjected to conditions most oi
which are inevitable. For. of course
the women can't be assassinated; and
after all, affection rules to some extent
and there are proportionately more
marriages among the very poor than
the very rich.

The turn of life is a turning either
into a prolonged walk or into the
grave. Between the ages of forty and
sixty a man who has lived a proper
life ought to be considered In his
prime. His matured strength of co... sti-
tuition renders him almost impervious
to the attacks Of disease. and expe-
rience has given him soundness and
ripeness of judgment. His mind is res
olute, firm, and equal; all his func-
tions are in the most perfect order.
He assumes a mastery over his bust
ness, builds up competence on the
foundation he has formed in early
manhood, and passes through period
of life attended by many qualifications,
Having gone year or two past sixty
he arrives at a standstill. But here
comes what We have termed the turn
of life, which, if successfully negotia-
ted, leads to old age. At this period
gout and apoplexy lie in wait for the
traveller. The system and powers hav-
ing reached their utmost expansion
now begin either to close in like flow
ers at sunset, or to break down at
once. One injudicious stimulant. a
single excitement, may force 1t beyond
its strength, whilst careful supply OF
props and the necessary care and at
tention should sustain the system in
health and vigor.

1t really seems to be the exception
nowadays to take up a daily paper
without finding the account OF a suicide
OF a man or woman by means Of car
bolic acid. The latest case is that OF
a man who poisoned himself at his
wife's grave, and it appears in evidence
that he had pawned his coat to buy
the carbolc acid with which he effect
ed his purpose. Now, carbolic acid Is a
vtrulent poison: a few drops will kill
a dog. and plants expire in dilute
aqueous solution of 1t, and yet 1t can
be obtained easily and without restric-
ton by any one who desires to obtain
1t for legitimate or illegitimate pur-
poses Even child may purchase at
a shop without any difficulty for a few
cents as much of this virulent poison
as will kill half dozen persons. Sure
ly the time has arrived when some
thing should be done to restrict the
sale OF this acid. the more particularly
when 1t is considered that by far the
largest number OF deaths by poisoning
Is caused by Its agency. and 1t seems
to be the favorite means of self-de-
struction by women. 1t is nothing less
than n scandal that this article should
not be included among the scheduled
poisons. II the legislature has decreed
the prussic acid. by which painless
death Is produced, shall not be avail
able to the public except under med
ical supervision. then why In the name
of reason should carbolic acid. which
causes the most frightful suffering. be
within the reach Of all? An alteration
in the existing legislation In this mat
ter Is urgently called for.

The bill which seeks TO amend sections
. and OF an act approved March Goth.
lsS2. IN regard to the refundlng Of direct
taxes paid over to the State by the United
States government Mr.. Parker explained
that under the present law all such mon
eys not paid out shall revert TO the re-
spective cities and counties to be used on
the roads Of the counties and streets Of
the cities. One OF the amendments pro-
vides that where persons entitled TO such
money are dead and a qualification be-
comes necessary. n tax Of administration
shall be RENTED and the clerk and com
missioner Of accounts shall not charge
any fees in such instances.
The existing law provides that a final
settlement shall be made by the direct
tax commissioner on or as soon as posi-
bic after January 1st. 1895. The second
amendment provides that the names OF
those who have not received their money
shall be advertised and posted I'm each
voting place and at the courthouse door.
Mr. Parker was opposed 10 having the
unnecessary expense OF advertising the
names in the local newspapers. and II
was stricken out.
Another amendment provides for the
extension OF the time for final settle
ment until July ist. 1895. This was agreed
to.
The most important amendment was
that. before turning over the amount in
his hands. the commissioner shall re-
ceive five per cent OF all money Originally
turned over 10 him. providing that he
hos n sufficient balance on hand.
Mr.. Parker stated that he was OPP
