extracting some fun from case which
the supreme court has settled. A girl
in St. Croix hung out some clothes to
dry, and when she came to take them
back a baby's shirt was gone. One
year afterwards she hit upon little
niger kid who posed as finished
product of modern civilization chiefly

question. Close scrutinies revealed
the fact that Henry Patrick, the child's
uncle, had obtained the shirt in an I'M
accountable manner, and he was SEN
fenced to spend two weeks in Jail.
This did not please Patrick and the
decision was appealed to the supreme
court. Thus it came about that the
garment in question was sent to Copen-
hagen and introduced in the supreme
court; but to no purpose, for the de-
cision of the St. Croix court was sus-
tanned in every particular.

the translation having been made from
the German. This language is read
very extensively in digerent parts of

Hebrew, SO much so that it would be
impossible to translate the essay on
Nietzsche into the dialect of Isaiah,
while this may easily be rendered in
modern Hebrew. The work will be
pu lished in Warsaw
