one minute by the mouth, and its
weight is about one pound. This life

Motorman Hard to Kin.

According to daily newspaper,
George W. Arberry, motorman of
Montgomery, Ala, fell i'll of the yellow
fever and, it was thought, died. The
body was put into box which two
negroes undertook to cart away and
bury on a hill. The mule team ran
away, and the box was overturned and
broken. When the negroes tried to fix
things up, Arberry came back to con-
seriousness and yelled 20 know what was
being done to him, which caused the
negroes to Zee as fast as their legs would
carry them. Arberry managed to crawl
to the nearest house, and, although
nearly dead from exposure, he recovered
eventually. -Electrica Review.

cat one of the grand balls I attended

in the decoration of the ballroom, and
which had been imported from Europe
at enormous expense, and also by the
Importance given to the matter Of re-
freshments Although there appeared
to be about four girls to one man, the
male portion of the company spent the
greater part of the evening at the buffet,

The kitchen, however, has for the

and respectable institution the army.
Even the men of the regiment resented
that it should be given fame through
Mrs. Granville. And the women feared
and hated her, but they also admired.
Popular superstition to the contrary
Notwithstanding, most women see the
charms of a rival Envy is as keen
sighted as love is blind. And the clever
ones admit them.
Being isolated from the small circle
Of feminine wit, Mrs. Granville added
to her attractions much masculine clear
sightedness and wide range of interests.
She was as good to talk to as to look
upon. She spoke with the tongue of a
wisdom that was more-not less-than
womanly, and she sang with the voice
Of siren, and men fell down before
her and worshiped her and, throwing
the cloak of their infatuation over the
clay feet of their idol, came finally to
forget them and believe it all spotless
alabaster
They held her up to wives and daugh.
tiers and sisters whom they would have
disowned for following in her path.
And they ruined the peace of their lives
and of their homes for her-all, too,
without the hope of even a capricious
fancy for reward. She brought them
low and laughed at them, but they still
had faith, as had her husband, though
the heavens should fall. She was known
to the borders Of the service and beyond
as creature of no heart who had caus-
ed disaster and even death and had
shown neither remorse nor pity.
Yet when she was free once more
Raymond went to her. His old faith
was unmoved. 1t was a better sort of
faith than any other she had inspired.
Years had gone since she had seen him.
She sat once again before the fire-this
time in her fathers home And Ray
mond stood looking down at her. The
face, above the black dress of her mourn
ing, was as saintlike as of old and SEEM
ed as young and unscarred. The long,
gray eyes were as placid. but more deep.
He did not ask now why she had done
these things. Perhaps he knew But he
said to her, as though the time between
had never been:
"Cicely, do you love me still?'
And the sweet lips parted to say the
words that they had never framed save
for him, 81 love you still"
He reached out his hand and took
hers. She tried to draw it away.
"But you do not want me-now?"
she said.
He held her fast and answered: 81
want you now" There was no doubt in
his firm voice.
"You do not know" she tried to tell
him.
Eyes, know" he said, "and yet
and yet want the Cicely who was my
honest little playmate years ago, who
was my trusted love in the past who
will be my faithful wife in the time to
come. For old sake's sake, l want her,
dear F"
She laid her tired head upon his
shoulder and closed her tear filled eyes.
"And for old sake's sake, she said,
''you shall have her. "-Gwendolen

INSANE MURDERERs.
The Question of Responsibility and Pun
ishment For the Crime.

The Question of Responsibility and Pun
ishment For the Crime.
1t may we'll be that a man who could
not be called insane, but merely, say,
an ordinary member of the criminal
classes, with strong passions and feeble
intellect, would in the presence of an
opportunity. long expected and hoped
for, the consequences of which his
thoughts had frequently rehearsed, be
really for the moment incapable of re-
straining his hand. We should hang
him, nevertheless, without the slightest
scruple, and we should waste no COM
passion upon the absence of self control.
1t is, in fact, impossible to frame O def
milton of responsibility based upon alb
sence Of self control without including
all sorts Of crimes which at present are
punished by the law. For years back
there has been a sort of feud between
the lawyers and the alienists on the
subject, SO that even the textbooks speak
of legal insanity and medical insanity
as distinct
To take extreme cases, jurists have
contended that no degree of insanity
should exempt from punishment for
crime unless it has reached such point
that the person is utterly unconscious
Of the difference between right and
wrong at the time of committing the
offense while medical men have very
generally held to the opinion that this
is not proper criterion, that many of
the insane are fully conscious of the
difference between right and wrong and
that to enforce such a test means the
hanging Of many lunatio. There can
be no doubt that of late years the med
ical view has met with a wider accept
ance than it used to do and that even
lawyers have shown an increasing read
mess to admit the doctrine of irrespon-
sibility. But it is very anxious ques-
tion, especially in view of recent dog
mas as to degeneracy, how far this doc
trine is to be allowed to 60
The condition of affairs is much more
serious than some people think, and it
is highly necessary that those who ad-
minister the criminal law should be ON
their guard against any insidious estab-
lishment Of immunity for the violation
of its most sacred principles. In any
case Of murder the presumption In IA
vor Of hanging should be so strong as
to leave very slender prospect of escape
for any man who prior to the commits
sion Of his crime had been thought fit
to be at large. If this condition cannot
be secured, it will become matter of
grave necessity to take prompt steps for
the incarceration of many people of evil
passions who are now at liberty and to
render the utterance of threats matter
to be dealt with by the alienist as well
as by the magistrate. London Hospital.

HER LETTER.

Rer letter came today
A tiny, crisscrossed thing,
And full of saucy quips and cranks
And girlish grace and glee.
She told of the last new play,
OF the songs she'd learned to sing,
OF how she'd declined with thanks"
A "lord of high degree"
She sent sample of her gown,
"a marvel in garnet and brown"
She wrote of talks
And moonlight walks
Beside some azure water;
OF dances "some one" taught her.
And so the pages, interlined,
Ran on-and then in haste she signed,
"Most truly yours-your daughter"
But in corner she had writ,
II love you, mother, every bit
love, and love and love you'll

In The Windsor Magazine Mrs. Sals
relates an incident about the last maya
zine article ever written by the late
George Augustus Sala. GAS re-entered
his study that afternoon, she writes,
she gave me over the three slips of a
closely written MS. on flimsy foreign
note paper and said: Take them, dear
est am so tiAed don't think shall
ever write another magazine article.
Put the sheets in your dispatch box and
finish them for me. When 1 am dead,
you will perhaps want bread, and then
you can sell Bedrooms on Wheels.

prophesied, for often since cruel death

When I'm sitting on the beach,

And he holds my hand, convinced
Nobody can see,
Up comes my old chaperon,
Crying, "Come, my pet,

For your shoes are wet"
When the seas a-glint with CLEANS
From the moon above,
And the music dreamingly
Whispers low of love,
And l linger on the porch,
Teddy by my side,
And he's begging for a kiss
Will not be denied
With horrid shawl, my bare
Shoulders to enfold,
Comes my chaperon, and says,

Wild as wild can be,
Or how could she know so well
When to look for mef
