court of the District of Columbia, the fol-
lowing: "Of all the kinds of evidence ad-
mitted In a court, this expert testimony
Is the most unsatisfactory. 1t is SO weak
and decrepit as scarcely to deserve a place
in our system of Jurisprudence" The su-
preme court of New Jersey says: Very
learned judges have characterized expert
testimony as much too uncertain. even
when only slightly opposed to for the
foundation of a judicial decision" The
supreme court of Iowa lays down this rule:
"While the evidence of experts as to sigma
ture is entitled to consideration. IL is. new
ertheless, Of the lowest order Of evidence,
and of the most unsatisfactory character
and ought not to be allowed to overthrow
the positive and direct evidence of a cred
liable witness who t~estifies from personal
knowledge" Judge Stiles claimed that
ness, but a lady of high character. She
has had the confidence of the community
in a high degree, as is evidenced by the
many important positions she has been
called to fill, and Mr.. Merine, although
more than once overtaken by misfortune,
had been one Of the men who, by his tall
ent, had helped to give character to this
city. The 5000 of self-denials for many
years exchanged for $500. while the Merine
property depreCiated. the McElroy money
doubled, and yet Judge Slower refused Mrs.
Merine a new trial. Did he know she had
signed the transfer? Then why not give
the widow the benefit OF the doubt? It
was a small sun for Mr.. McElrOy; it
meant much for the delicate, sorrow-laden
mother and daughter.
1t is difficult to understand how the
woman's cause In Kansas City was ad-
vanced by some of it's aspiring leaders
testifying against one of their well known
co~-workers. Would the highest type of
womanhood aid a man to wreck a woman?

But Sabbath is not confined to the seventh
day; it is also applied to the tenth day of
the seventh month, to the feast of unleav-
ened bread. to the seventh year and to all
times of sacred rest. 90 Nor II is correct
to say that in Chaldea the Sabbath was al
ways the seventh day, for in that country
there were originally five Sabbaths in the
month. The Sabbath rest was observed on
the seventh, fourteenth, nineteenth, TWEEN
ty-frst and twenty-eighth days OF the
month. Therefore, inasmuch as the Sab
bath day fell upon the nineteenth il could
not possibly be the day that divided one
Sabbath can be traced, as we should have
expected. to pre-Semitic times. The He

syrian scribes from two Sumerian words,

radically h Latin calculus, a stone.
To stone and to kill were the
same" That may be, but they were not
expressed by the same word. Eben meant
to stone. and katal meant to kill. Because
the ~conjugation kal of the verb katal. to
kill, has the same sound as the first sylla-
BILE of the Latin calculus, a stone, there
fore Mr.. Wilson concludes not only that
they have the same root, but that to stone
and to kill are etymologically and historic
ally the same. And by such reasoning
for II will be seen his other arguments are
on a par with this-the basis of the Chris
tan religion is demolished!
But were this bad philology and worse ar
gument confined to the ancient and dead
languages. one could make excuse for the
neglect OF inability to refer to the original

but when IL comes to a matter of English.
and a statement is taken secondhand, and
the superstructure of a thesis is raised
upon a misconception that reference to a
10 cent dictionary would correct, one is apt
to lose patience with a writer so recklessly

also too manifest by the following: Cos

Toms Heroic Rescue.

From Harper's Bazaar.
A man bearing the classic name OF Tom
Jones has been for a long time the most
enthusiastic unofficial assistant which the
volunteer fire department of a little Mass
achusetts town had. He began his career
in the fre-opposing line by rescuing an
aged citizen from a burning building, and
ever after his speciality was saving some
that the aged citizen was the meanest
man in town rather worked against Toms
receiving the credit for his first rescue
which was his due, but this was gradually
overlooked by the better element, and
Toms reputation grew.
A few years ago fire broke out in the
finest residence in the place. 1t may be
explained that though Tom had a very fair
experimental knowledge of a popular brand
of state liquor. his information concerning
wines was of the most rudimentary char
acter. 1t may be added. further, that the
