a u11e.s PriOiIeSe.

In New York city recently a hus-
band had his wife arrested on the
charge of going through his pockets
while he slept and taking from them
$57 and lot of valuable papers. The
magistrate before whom the case was
tried held that the wife was guilty of
theft. and, although he dealt leniently
with her, he permitted 1t to be under
stood that she could have been indict-
ed, tried, and found guilty of larceny.
For the defense. as was quite natural,
1t was held that a wife could not pos
sibly pick her husbands pockets, be-
cause, man and wife being one, his
pockets were to all intents and pur-
poses her pockets. and their, contents
to all intents and purposes were as
much her property as his. One can
not rob ones self. and how. therefore,
could this woman be found guilty Of
theft for taking what belonged to her
husband-that is to say, what belonged
to herself? For theNprosecution it was
held that the husband and wife are
one in theory only. not in fact. The
law recognizes this, 1t was contended,
when it deals with husbands and wives
as individuals. The law treats the
wife as separate person. II was held.
when 1t grants her certain distinctive
rights and protects her in the enjoy
ment of them. when she Is permitted
to hold property in her own name, and
when she is privileged to do many
things which her husband cannot le-
gally prevent her from doing. The
magistrate was influenced by the argu-
ments for the prosecution to hold that,
whatever wife's privileges may be,
she has no business to ransack her
husbands pockets or to take anything
from them without his consent. There
is little danger that the New York
case will establish a precedent, or that
husbands in general will have their
wives arrested for going through their
pockets. When the average man Of
good sense, good behavior. and small
means considers how often and how
painfully his wife is disappointed as
she goes through his pockets he will
not think Of depriving her Of the priv
ilege.

Living stone. of tho South Sea

The visitor to the Falkland islands
sees n number of what appear to be
weather. beaten, moss-covered boulders
of various sizes scattered here and
there. On attempting to turn one over
he is surprised to find that it is an
chored to the ground by roots of great
strength. These are not bouldersi
they are trees! No other place in the
world can show such n peculiarity of
forest" growth. The Falkland islands
are exposed to n strong Polar wind
which renders it impossible for trees
to grow in the proper form; nature
has consequently adapted herself to
the prevailing conditions and produced
this strange form Of plant life. These
living stones," as they are called, are
quite devoid of grain" and it is next
to impossible to cut them up and util.
ize them for fuel.

tiary by q pardon. 1t was granted
because 1t was represented that the
cashier was. fatally. i'll. and could not
live but few days. The petitioners
for his release said 1t would be an act
OF mercy to let him out so that he
might not die in prison cell. Last
week this moribund cashier set off, in
perfect health, for a long hunting trip
in the Adirondacks. 1t is admitted
now that he never was sick at all and
that he was "Shamming Abraham" all
the time he was In the prison hospital.
He got a pardon under false pretenses,
but 1t is an irrevocable pardon. De-
ception pays sometimes. even when de-
tected. This cashier Is not the first
man who has been let out of prison to
die and has recovered his health at
once. nor will he be the last, so long
as prison doctors are gullible and
presidents and governors are merciful
Therefore it may not be inexpedient
to substitute for the unconditional par
dons which 1t has been customary to
give to those who sare about to die a
release from Imprisonment for that
purpose only, the convict to be taken
back to prison the day that he shows
any symptoms Of recovery.

Automatic Fiarman. for Trains.

With a view to preventing accidents
at level crossings and collisions in the
neighborh4od of railway stations a
very Ingenious mechanism has recently
been tried in France. 1t consists es-
sentially ofa huge hook or catch, made
of iron. which is connected with lever
at the station by means Of wire,
through which a current of electricity
passes. When 1t Is lying in its place
the train passes over quite easily, but
as soon as it is raised it catches a
lever which is attached to the engine.
The lever thus caught causes an air
valve on the engine to open automat-
ically and applies the brakes at once,
so that the whole train is brought to
standstill within very short dis
tance. In foggy weather the use Of
such an apparatus cannot be over esti-
mated. as it is calculated to prevent a
train running into another which hap
pens to be delayed at station.-Pear-

which the representatives of the pub

upon are that the Exposition is COM

Buffalo and the Exposition are well
policed and as free from dangerous
characters as any city in the country.
A joint committee was appointed to
deal with questions affecting the Ex-
position and the proper welcome and
care of guests. The Exposition has
had in operation for some time a free
