A NEW TERROR TO LIFE.-Sir James
Crichton BrowLe, the eminent London
specialist, has subjected himself to sew
ere criticism for pointing out to poison
ers new, safe method ofeftectiDg their
deadly purpose and on scale hitherto
uuknown. 10 his inaugural address to
he Pharmaceutical Society, Browne
observed: "a connoisseur of poisons
could, by keeping his own microbes,
slaughter hundreds OF innocent people
without the slightest fear of his crime
coming to light" 10 an interview he
explains that microbe culture involves q
scientific knowledge and appliances
which place it beyond the reach of any
out the most rarely endowed criminals,
and that his observation was more or
legs an effort of humor. Asked whether
the preparation OF microbes for poison
inv purposes might not be followed for
gain. he answered such trade would
os impossible, for the manufacturer and
client could not be brought into relat-
ions without danger to both. At the
same time Brownies suggestion adds
new terror to life.

PORTO RICO WANTS AUTONOMY
The leading politicians OF Porto Rico
are much concerned about the future
government of Porto Rico. After a
PROLONGED struggle they succeeded, just
before tbe opening OF the war, in Sc
curing from Spain the outward sem
blance of a complete autonomistic re-
eime. Phe result of the war, the trans
fer of sovereignty to the United States,
acceptable as it was to all classes gen
orally, of course upset the plans OF
many of the leading natives who had
ambitious desires to rise to emlnence.
A correspondent had an interview with
Lunis NUM- Riviera, the president OF
the insular government under the at.
tonomistic regime, in which he made
plain that the people OF the islar d
would not take kindly to p system
which destroyed their individuality.

Ten NIGHTS AT HIS WIFE'S
GRAVE.

A lam Spieth, jr., of Jacksonville,
Ind, hast just completed one of the
strangest tasks ever imposed by the dy-
ing upon those to be left behind.
Spieth'5 wife died recently Of con-
sumption, and upon her deathbed she
exscted promise of her husband that
he would watch alone at the vault in
which her body was to lie for ten
nights, so that grave robbers might not
steal her away. Spieth resdily prom
lsed, and when his wife's body was
taxed to the cemetery he set about the
fulfilment of his pledge.
The vault in the Walnut Ridge bury
ing ground is 3 lonely spot even in
daytime, surrounded by pine trees. At
( night no more dismal place could well
be imagined. The nearest house is
miles away.
But Spieth did not hesitate. With
out saying word to anyone he re-
turned TO the cemetery at nigh,fall OF
he day on which his wife's body was
laken there, and, taking up his station
outside the door Of the vault, he watch
ed there until day.
Spieth did this for FIVE nights with
out light. The next night, however,
1e carried lamp from the house, and
it was the light moving among the
trees which led to the discovery OF his
vigil. A farmer who was driving along
he lonely road which passes the ceme
terry gate saw S1ieth's lamp, and
thought that grave robbers were at
work. He whipped up his horses and
gave he alarm on reaching town.
A posse OF men who went to recon-
noitre disc ,vered Spieih on guard in
front of the vault. He refused to
handon his post and declined all Of
fers of company. When his ten days
vigil was over he guve up his visits to
the cemetery.
~ have kept my promise to my
wife," he said simply.
