ASKS TO BE TRIED FOR MURDER

Claiming as his right under the
constitution trial by jury for Il mur-
der committed nearly Is years ago,
Theodore Bung, once a wealthy drug
gist, made before Judge Mareau, of
the supreme court in Brooklyn, 50
strong Il plea for Liberation from the
stat hospital for the insane, at Mat
teawan, n. V, that the Judge declar.
ed him sane and committed him to
the warden of the TOmbs to await
the trial for which he asked. Bung
became insane in 1884. He suffered
from the delusion that Rose Cogh-
Ian, an actress, was irving to make
him marry her. Among Bung's
friends was druggist whose name
was NCckin. Bung became a victim
of the idea that Nockin was in league
with Miss Coghlan, and when Mock
in met him one day, Bung shot him
dead. Bung was indicted, arragned
before Judge Cowing and entered a
plea of not guilty. In the court
room he told the story of the plot TO
kidnap him. Judge Cowing ordered
him examined by jury, which
found him insane, and he was remov-
ed to Matteawan.

Adrian Britt, at one time editor
of the Jacksonville Uuion, was bur-
ried in the pOtter's field at Chicago
on Sunday. Britt was the son of a
Louisiana planter. who died leaving
an estate Of $I,O00,000. Young Britt
came TO Jacksonville in 1874 when he
got control of the Jacksonville
Union, at that time the most power
full political organ in the state. Britt
and his paper were active in efforts
to wrest the political control of the
state from the republicans. At the
time If the Tflden-Hayes election
when the vote of the state hung in
doubt, Britt's paper conct eded the
election to the republicans, and
Brltt's influence was credited with
leading to the delivery of the vote TO
Hayes. From that time Britt has
been on the down grade. He died
unknown and penniless, and at the
morgue his body was identified by a
detective who had known him as 4
"levee" character,

The beauty of the cryptomeria as
seen in Japan has often been de-
scribed by travellers both when seen
wild, forming large forests on the
mountain sides, and also under cul-
tivation, the Japanese having used
it to a great extent for avenues
along the sides of the public roads,
says the Garden. One of the finest
Of these avenues is recorded as lead
ing from the town of Namada to
Nikko, a distance of fifty miles, ev-
cry tree being a perfect specimen,
quite straight, averaging from 100
to $50 feet in height and 12 feet to
ID feet in circumference. In this
country it has proved, on the whole,
. disappointing tree, fine specimens
being extremely rare. The species,
or one of its numerous varieties, is
said to have been first introduced
into England by Fortune in 1874,
who sent it from Shanghai. AL
though usually spoken of as a Jap
anese tree, it is also found widely
distributed in many of the noun
famous parts of China.

ecftenlna % the Brain.

Although worry and disappoint-
ment are leading contributing causes
of softening of the brain, the disease
very commonly declares itself indie
pendently of such conditions and as
the mere result of progressive in
flammatory changes associated with
other forms of continuous and ex-
acting mental strain. Not infre-
quently also the exact opposite is
the case, as the malady is very COM
mon in the lower and nonintel-
lectual classes.
All the varied phenomena of grad
ual mental decline, numbed energy,
paralytic seizures, incoherency Of
speech, aphasic attack and general
progressive weakness explain "the
dying at the top" so dreaded by all.
More distressing still is the fact that
the general Inflammation of the
brain tissues, always present, is of
slow development, unrelentingly pro-
gressive and eventually fatal. Some
times years elapse before the long
desired end comes.

Collars and Cuffs.

It is difficult when travelling
abroad for both men and women to
keep their collars and cuffs clean,
as one cannot take an unlimited
supply of clothes, and it often is diff
ficult to get things washed unless
remaining at a place for several
days. If the following plan is car
ried out, collars and cuffs can be
kept clean and fresh looking for
days: Directly they begin to look
soiled take the corner of a towel,
dip it in cold water, squeeze it well
and rub the collar or cuffs quickly
and hard with it, being careful not
to make them too wet; then rub
them with dry part of the towel.
After this they will look quite fresh
and clean again without losing any
Of the stiffness.

The Yield Of Wheat.

An American farmer has many
things of which he is Justly proud.
One thing does not appeal to his
pride, however, and that is the aver
age yield of wheat in the United
States, which is 1874 bushels per
acre as compared with 31.3 in Ire
land; potatoes about 70 in this
country, while the yield is 1878 on
the soil of Erin's green isle. Aver
ages of a few other crops bear a
similar comparison. This is not
creditable, and yet it is not difficult
to see the reason. Some farmers
do not do their best farming until
they are compelled. When every
man does his best, the average viii
be high, but when general don't
care method is employed the average
will be low. In Ireland the farmers
cannot afford to do a poor Job of
farming.-St. Paul Globe.

jerome X. jerome recalled with
reverence q habit Of his methodical
uncle, who before packing for Q
journey always made q list"
This was the system which was
followed, noted down from his un-
cle's own lips:
Take q piece of paper and put
down on it everything you can pos
sibly require. Then go oversit and
see that it contains nothing You can
possibly do without.
Imagine yourself in bed. What
have you got on? Very well; put it
down, together with q change. You
get up. What do you do? Wash
yourself. What do you wash your
self with? Soap. Put down soap.
Go on till you have finished. Then
take your clothes. Begin at your
feet. What do you wear on your
feet? Boots, shoes, socks. Put
them down. Work up till you get
to your head. What do you want
besides clothes? Put down every
thing.
This is the plan the old gentle
man always pursued. The list made,
he would go over it carefully to see
that he had forgotten nothing. Then
he would 60 over it again and strike
out everything it was possible to
dispense with. Then he would lose
the list.

Saint Mary $ Beacon.


The Republican party, always re-
sourceful, always choosing expedi-
ency above principle, taking new
tack on a proposition as readily as
il held its old one, is up TO it's old
tricks. This time is on the tariff
question. Who has not heard the
Republican battle cry, Protect our
infant industries 2" Who has not
heard the Republican splilbinders in
q dozen campaigns pronounce their
benedictions upon protection, say
ing that IL would build up our infant
Industries, and always declaring
that it was for those infant indust-
ries? But, change has come over
them now. They know that our in
dustries have long passed the in
FAINT" period, and they realize that
no amount Of heroics about infant in
dustries will longer serve to pull
the wool over the eyes Of the people
on that proposition. Hence they
have changed front. They have
told the infant industries plea to 60
away back and set down within the
pale of innocuous desuetude, and in
its stead they have invented o new
plea for protection. Senator Dolli-
yer, Of Iowa, tariff ridden Iowa, has
the honor Of having trotted it for
ward. Ii is this, I'VE must have
protection because the difference in
she wage scale demands it" That
is o beautiful and finely spun little
reason, yet, in actual practice it
won't go. Russia has high protec-
tive tariff and yet she pays the low
est wages of any country in Europe.
Austria and Germany and France fol-
low her with the same sort of a tariff,
and yet in each instance the higher
the tariff the lower the wages. Amer
lean wages do not grow out of the
tariff; they come from the natural
superiority of American workmen.
President Roosevelt recognized that
fact and admitted it in his message
to Congress. The Dolliver phrase
will not beguile many voters to stand
by tariff that robs them every time
they go TO market.-13.
