There is an authentic case, reports
the Chicago Evening News, OF bril-
liant young woman, happily married,
who had long illness, the result of
which was that when she recovered she
had lost every recollection of her life
from the day of her marriage, inclusive
OF the ceremony. The rest of her life
up to that point she remembered clear
ly. AT first she pushed her husband
and her child from her in alarm, but
her parents and friends have convinced
her she is married and has son. She
believes their word Of necessity, though
she has never recovered her memory
of that one year which is lost to her.

lndeterminate Sentences.

In a vast majority Of cases the Grim
inal who has received more than on,
sentence is beyond the possibility o.
reform. It is probable that nearly al
criminals are incurable. at least I'm,
der the methods of the ordinary pen.
itentiary, says Leslie's Weekly. What
the system employed at the Elmira
prison may do it will require longer
time to determine. In any event, the
principle of indeterminate sentences
ii applied under the direction of body
OF enlightened and competent men,
would work no hardship along with
such a measure of prison reform as the
conditions warrant. II Il man is
doomed to continued Imprisonment, as
the chronic insane are, it is his own
1ault or the fault of his inheritance.
Those who have the disposition and
the power to reform can open their
own doors to freedom. The instances
are many where u confirmed criminal
has been released at the expiration of
his term only to commit a murder,
Nearly all such criminals Immediately
renew their former associations and
habits. With the almost positive knowl-
edge that this will be the case, the
court that determines the sentence
must be conscious Of atfording only a
brief respite to society from the mur-
derous or felonious assaults of the con.
victed criminals. 1t is doubtful II half
way measures of reform in this mat
ter are OF any value. As long as the
change in the law means only the con-
ditional release of exceptional convicts
selected by the courts there is not like
" to be the same machinery for learn
ing the condition of the convicts that
we should have II all sentences were
without term. The failure of condition
al release, or, If not its absolute failure,
its inability to show any striking re-
suits, is calculated to lessen the chances
of the adoption of complete system
based on a scientific study of the sub
ject. According TO one paper read dur
ng the exhibition, the penal code of |
Italy Is intended to intlict rigorous i'm. !
nrisonment only on the incurably Vi
'ious. This is reasonable distinction |
between chronic criminals and those
Sho may be regarded as reformable

lal seclusion of the incurables. The

A clergyman is sometimes ut dis.
advantage, in that he cannot very well
relieve his feelings by the use of strong
language But If he be quickwitted,
says tile Troy Times, it frequently hap
pens that he can accomplish much the
same result by proxy. At the annual
dinner Of the Massachusetts Game Pro-
tective association in Boston the other
evenig Rev. D. j. c. James, of West
Newton, related the story of the good
parson who was fishing with Philip D.
Armour, and in the middle of the day.
whenitwas holland they became thirsty,
they repaired to cool, shady nook
on messy bank. The parson produced
corkscrew to open the bottle that had
been provided. The bottle slipped and
was lost. They looked at each other in
agonized silence until the good doctor
implored Mr.. Armour to Speak For
Gods sake, speak" What Mr.. Armour
said can be imagined.
