Subjecting Criminals to 9 Terrible

subjecting Criminals to 9 Terrible
A law that has recently come into
operation gives prisoners the right of
communicating with counsel within
twenty-four hours after their arrest,
says Paris correspondent Of the Lon
don Standard. One of the Immediate

at the morgue, which are SO dramatic
feature of French criminal proceed
ure. With a view to bringing a MUIR
derer to confess, he is taken to the
morgue, and there brought face to face
with the body of his victim. Every
artifce is used to make the confronta-
ton as impressive as possible, as it is
hoped that the terrible sight he is COM
PEELED to gaze on will so trouble the
murderer that he will lose command
over himself and make clean breast
of his crime in his agitation. When
ne enters the room he can see nothing,
as the stone bench on which the body
is exposed is concealed by curtain.

with questions, and then, at what he
considers the opportune moment, gives
the signal for the curtain to be pulled
back. The murderers who have stood
this ordeal without finching have been
comparatively few. The majority of
them exhibit the utmost terror and
lmplore to be taken out of sight of the
corpse. There is chair in the room
where the concentrations take place,
In which the majority of the most no
torious murderers of the last thirty
years have been seated. Their names
are inscribed on it's back, ONE of them
being Troppman, who, just before the
FRANCO German war, butchered an en-
tire family. French criminal counsel
have found that these confrontations
almost always result in the confusion
OF their clients, have looked into the
matter, and believe they have discov-
cred that the examining magistrate
has no legal right to subject prisoner
to this ordeal. For the future they are
going to advise their clients to refuse
to allow themselves to be taken to the
morgue, and it seems that it is moot
point whether the authorities will be
able to convey them thither by force.

A Relic of the Spanish Armada.

A thirty-pounder cannon has just
been discovered near Derrynane, in
South Kerry, Ireland, famous as the
residence of Daniel O'Connel. The
cannon, which is supposed to be relic
Of the Spanish Armada, was covered
with sand and sea deposit to, a depth
of six feet. The launching of a yacht
by: DR.. .Myles, the president Of the
Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland,
led to the discovery.

No sooner had he spoken the words
than every man among us began feel
ting in his pockets. For what? you
ask. For what you can buy at farth-
ing hundred, and yet a farthing's
worth of which was more precious to
us than all the gold in all the Austria
lias-for a box of lucifer matches.
What we searched for we did not find.
Not a man among us had match.
Truly we had thought that our cup of
unhappiness was full, but here was an
other bitter drop added, proving that
there were depths of misery we had not
yet reached. Cold as our hearts were
before, they were colder now. We
were frightened to look one another In
the face; and I speak. the honest truth
when I say that at that moment I
would have given five of my fingers for
five wooden matches, and would have
chopped them off myself without a
murmur; and so, do not doubt, would

those black rocks that dismal, dreadful
night. If ever the Devil missed a
chance of making good bargain, he
missed it then.
<The best thing we can do now,
mates" said one, Tom Wren by name,
a reckless man, whose curse was drink,
sis to lay down and die"
We did not answer him, but stood
around each other with despairing
souls; and one or two looked up to the
sky, as though hoping that sparks Of
fire would drop from the clouds into
our hands. And one of the men be-
gan to wander in his mind, and COM
menced to sing in hoarse voice about
the "sweet little cherub that sits up
aloft to watch DER the life of poor
Jack" Well, we'll, that sweet little
cherub did not desert poor Jack, after
all, for suddenly sailor gave scream
Of joy, and cried out that he had found
q match in his pocket. Only one-but
our lives hung on that little bit of wood.
He was about to take it from his pock-
ct, when violent hands were laid upon
him.
keep it from the damp, for Gods
sake! we cried. IF it gets wet, we're
lost men,"
An island filled with jewels could
mot have bought that match from us.
! We sat about collecting dry wood,
land tearing it into thin shreds, and
after selecting a sheltered spot, our
best skill was used in building up the
pile which we hoped soon to see blaz-
tng. There was an anxious discussion
rs to who should strike the match, and
It was proposed that 7 should do it;
but my nerves we're so much shaken
that did not dare. One volunteered,
and to him it was entrusted. We
.btood around him in close circle, to
prevent the wind from getting to him,
send many silent prayer went up for
the success of the task he had under
taken. It was solemn moment, that,
let me tell you, and would have tried
the nerves of the bravest man. He
was successful, and we watched with
thankful hearts the jets of flame play
Ding among the thin strips of bark. We
stopped over it and drew warmth to
our bodies; and one man who, while
the match was being lighted, had stood
as if he were petrified, danced about
the fire like an imp of the devil.
"tMr. Farley is going mad, do be-
lieve," said sailor.

INGENIOTS.

There are some ingenious people in
this world. One of them, John Perry,
President of the English institution of
Electrical Engineers, suggests the plac-
ing at each station Of the underground
road in London Of turntable about
five hundred feet in diameter. This
turntable is kept continuously revolv-
ing at such a rate that it's rim travels
at the same speed as the moving train.
spiral staircase, which, being in the
centre, of course moves very slowly, by
which the passenger reaches the main
floor. He then walks towards the cir
conference. The speed at which he Is
being carried along gradually increases,
until at the edge he is travelling at
the rate Of the moving train which he
here finds seemingly at rest, and with
the doors OPEN He enters, and as the
moving platform is left behind the
doors are automatically closed until
the next station is reached, when they
are automat ically opened again. With
such AN arrangement the track, Of
course, at each station would be built
on curve closely following that of the
turntable for about half the latter's
circumference. Mr.. Perry thinks that
with this system it might be expedient
to have a continuous train, on such
roads as the underground of London,
or the elevated of New York city, so
that no matter when a passenger might
arrive, he would always find a car open
and apparently waiting for him.

who uses upon his packages large
number of different names to designate
differences In quality, shape or size, or
merely to meet the Whims of custom
ers, and which tend to produce confu-
sion, rather than certainty, as to ori-
gin, cannot be protected in the eXclu-

In explaining its decision the court
said "A court of equity cannot be i'm
pressed by an appeal to protect that

that In the struggle for trade the whims
of retailers must be consulted, and that
rivalry between dealers to present some
thing attractive to the public eye must
exist; but courts of equity do not sit to
indulge the whims of purchasers, or to
protect one in creating confusion. They
sit to protect and to enforce legal and
equitable rights. If this bill can be
maintained the extent of the proprietor

arbitrary names applied to the paper

FOR ESTRY,

The establishment of School Of
Forestry at Yale is one of the most
cheering things that has happened
lately, and much good may be expected
to come from it. 1t is high time that
the people of this country walked up to
the need of intelligent and systematic
far behind Europe In this important
matter. In Sweden, for instance, over
two thirds Of the forest area are under
control and watch of the authorities
There Is a central bureau with work
ing force organized like small army
ana bearing military rank. Nine in
spectors are in charge, and each ch1et
of range has a district of 166,250 acres
under watch. There is sufficient
corps of planters and police, There is
a college of woodcraft also, and six
schools, and in the last fiscal year the
State had expended on it's forests and
foresters something over $4,000 This
appears a large outlay, but the imme-
date return was an income to Sweden
of more than $2,000O00, with the prom
Use of a rapid increase in the amount,
to say nothing of the protection OF the
water sources and the saving OF VII
lagos from fire. The exports of forest
products from Sweden, when the last
figures were obtainable in 1897 repre-

million of dollars. Our own country,

If he had said New Mexico ana lett

no disputing him, for every foot OF lana
taken from Mexico in that unrighteous
war was a robbery Of our sister state

purchase Of Alaska was a peaceable

the money and Secretary seward
thought we wanted the territory IN
which thinking he proved himself a far

nected with that annexation was a war
of words on the part of those VINO OPP
posed the purchase with those who
favored it. For many years there was
no question as to the boundary line, but
since the discovery of gold in paving
