LEGAL FINE POINTS.
Matters of Close Question Decided by
the Courts.


In a recent murder trial in Mis-
sissippi before Judge Powell, of the
Circuit Court of Yazoo county, the
jury, after retiring to consider it's
verdict, discovered a statute in the
code governing its proceeding which
it followed, although it had not been
given in the instructions by e court
The defendant was convicted and mis-
counsel entered motion for a new
trial on the ground that the jury had
no right to go outside instructions of
the court and follow the statute in the
code. The statute referred to pro

as to the guilt of a prisoner. but are
unable to fix the punishment, they
may return a verdict to that effect,
sitting that they find the prisoner
guilty as charged, and allow the pre-.
siding judge to fix the punishment
Judge Powell overruled the motion for
a new trial on the ground that the
public has no right to know the pro-
ceedings within the jury room, ami
also that an examination of the code
was not a violation of the instrue-

Emperor William OF Germany is rich
enough to afford almost any sort of
Christmas gift to either his wife or
children, but they do not look for
presents Of intrinsic worth so much as
those that betoken the esteem in
which he holds them. II is said that
for next Christmas the emperor has
decided to give the empress a very
original present.
AS is known, her majesty was a
princess of Schleswig- Holstein, and
she has always retained the greatest
affection for the country of her birth:
In fact, she does all in her power to
further the industries of tie prov.

ordered that as much as possible shall

DEATH OF THE 90 ygAR

The Old Year is no more. Let us
bury our dead:
Let us dig deep and bury him low.
Then cover him up with a mantle of
love
AS pure and as soft as the snow
Wen remember the good things he
brought day by day.
The life and the light and the cheer;
The blessings SO common, we needed
them not,
The friendships so true and so dear
We will blot out the gloom and the
doubts and the fears,
And forget all the battle and din:
Forget all the WEAKNESS, sorrow aud
pain
And wilt Thou, Lord, blot out all
the sin?
So we will be ready to greet the New
Year,
Forgetting the ills that are past
Reaching forth to the drawer and
grlnder, more true,
Till we come to the Browning at
last,

THE OPERAS ORIGIN.
Grew From Masque and Court Ballots
Of the Middle Ages.

Opera Is an outgrowth of the
inasque and court ballets of the
middle ages. and the first musical
drama presented to the public as
such was "Eurydice," by Fere. AMI
was given in Florence in 1900. II Is
interesting to know that the orchestra
on this occasion composed a harp.
sicord. a large guitar, great Tyre. q
large lutte and three flutes. Such was
the germ OF the grand opera.
In the course of time the framework
of the opera consisted of a series of
arias or airs, connected by recitatiye.
The story and action were carried on
by means of the latter, while the arias
exhibit the vocal beauties and
achievements.
The opera was constructed accord.
ing to an accepted method. At first
six characters and then acts were the
rule. Each scene must end with an
air and the recitation had a fixed
position. As time passed the model
became varied with the addition of
new concerted pieces and
finals and choruses. The orchestral
accompaniment became enriched untn

Ducks should have white, soft fat,
Yellow feet, tender wings, and feel
Thick and hard on the breast. and
should be less than year old. The
feet of the wild ducks are of reddish
color The windpipe should break
when it is pressed with the thumb
and finger. Pick SINCE and remove
the crop, entrails, oil bag, legs and
pinions. Wipe carefully with a clean,
wet cloth, truss the thighs closely
to the body and put several pieces of
apple in the body to absorb the strong
flavor. Dredge ii with salt pepper.

oven from twelve to twenty minutes
or more il you prefer it well done.
1t is impossible to make rule which
will suit every one, for tastes vary so
in regard to ducks, and the ducks
vary also. Wild ducks are generally
preferred very rare, but tame ducks
are often cooked as long and as
thoroughly as chickens, and IL so they
should be thoroughly basted with but
ter and water. The apple stuffing in
strong wild ducks Is not to be used
CuITant jelly and hominy are served
with the duck.
Stuffing for Tame Ducks.
Boil one cupful of onions and chop
them fine. Add one cupful of stale
bread crumbs. one teaspoonful OF
salt. one.fourth teaspoonful of pepper
and eight sage leaves which have been
thoroughly dried and rubbed to fine
powder. Mix well together and stuff
the duck as usual

From Steam to Electricity.

The conversion of railways from
steam to electricity is proceeding on
two distinct lines, namely, that in
which the train, made up as before of
carriages or trucks, is drawn by To-
conceive placed in front, the only diff
ference between it and the existing
locomotive being that the locomotive
is worked by electric motors and not
by steam engines, and the method in
which each carriage of each truck
though this latter has hardly been at
tempted yet-carries its own electric
motor, supplemented occasionally by a
single carriage without a motor, and
known as a trailer. The railway man
naturally, says Colliery Guardian,
adopts the locomotive at the head of
his train, because he has always been
accustomed to see something at the
head of the train, but there are signs
that the independent unit system, as it
is termed. in which each carriage is
can be made up, is gaining in favor
in which trains of any required length
canb e made up, is gaining in favor.
II is claimed that the independent sys-
tenn is more economical, because of the
smaller amount of work to be done
when a train has to be broken up, or
to be made up.

Wireless Telegraphy.

A new system of transmitting sig
mails which claims advantages over the
wireless methods is reported from
England. This is known as the Ar
morli system, and is said to be the in
vention Of a young Swede by the name
of Orling. Experiments carried out on
October II before a number of people
are said to have proven beyond a
doubt that not only telegraph mes
sages, but telephone messages as well,
may be transmitted with fairly salts
factory results by this system over
considerable distances. The waves
may also be made use of for steering
torpedoes. which fact was demon
strated on the day in question. The
advantages of this over other wireless
systems arise from the fact that the
earth is used directly as a transmit
ting medium and no natural obstruc-
tons interfere with the transmission
of the impulses. This system differs
from the Marconi system inasmuch as
it requires no coherer or overhead
poles, while its installation, when per-
feet, should be simplicity itself. 1t is
certainly the most wonderful electrical
discovery of this new century" &C
cording to an electrical engineer who
witnessed the recent experiments.
Something similar to the Armorli sys-
TEN was reported a few weeks since
from Pennsylvania. Daniel Draw
baugh, the aged farmer of Eberly's
Mill. who fought Alexander M. Bell for
the telephone patents a score of years
ago, has struck upon a system of wire
less telephony and telegraphy which,
he says, promises to revolutionize the
business. Unlike Marconi, who makes
use of the other currents, Drawbaugh
has formed strong electric currents in
the earth and uses the ground as a me
dunn. His sending apparatus is an in
strument capable of producing high
number of electrical vibrations. This
is attached to the ground by wire
and copper plate. A similar ground
ing device connects the earth with the
receiving instrument. The common
telephone and telegraphic instruments
in ordinary use are used for receiving
and sending messages. Mr.. Draw
baugh has successfully used earth cur
rents for message transmission for
half a mile

For Buyers.

Advising buyers of electrical appara-
tus, a writer in the Engineer magazine
says; The apparatus which the manu-
facturer considers standard and which.
therefore, is built in large quantities
and carried in stock, is usually shown
In his catalogues and price lists. The
apparatus costs less than unlisted or
special apparatus; it can be furnished
in shorter time, and it is more likely
to prove satisfactory in operation. a
greater amount of thought has been
bestowed upon its design than it Is
practicable to give-assuming the fui-
filment of reasonable dates of delivery
to any new designs that may be
specified. The buyer, therefore, while
incidentally best serving the interests
OF the manufacturer, can at the same
time best serve his own interests by
consulting the catalogues of the best
manufacturers and making his selec-
tons therefrom whenever his require
ments are such as to render this
course permissible He will some
times find it to his advantage even TO
go out of his way in an endeavor to
make standardized apparatus answer
his requirements when it does no,
seem to be exactly suitable.

No Current Wasted.

The Big Consolidated railway COM
pany of Cleveland has recently in
stalled storage battery in its Cedar
avenue powerhouse. which is at work
absorbing any surplus current which
may be generated and not be needed
for immediate consumption. With the
storage battery in operation waste of
current is impossible, for by its use
every surplus bit of current is cap
tured and stored away until break
down of an engine or sudden in
crease in traffic demands it's release.
Enough power can be stored in the
new battery to run the entire Big Con-
solidated system for several hours,
and as it would take quite a serious &C
cident to derange the system for that
length of time, tie-up of the lines is
practically impossible.
