The important part played I'm many
murder trials by a hattened and mis-

One peculiar fact about a bullet is
that it will very often make n wound of

Another strange fact about a bullet Is
that it viii often pass through inter

Blackened edges of wounds are more
likely to have been caused by lead

could also produce this result Regard

wise, nothing Of great value is to be
gained when the shooting occurs at
distance greater than twelve or fifteen
feet. At a recent trial a doctor stated
that from powder marks on the face
he Judged that the shot had been fred
at a distance OF not more than three
feet. which conclusion was later backed
up by the assertion made on the stand

JAPANESE PROVERBS.
Some Really Fine sayings worthy
of LniNersnI Acccptnnce.

W.
The japanese do not expect to gather
grapes from thorns OF figs Of thistles.
but they phrase our thoughts somewhat
differently. They say The spawn OF
frogs will become nothing but frogs
We have n saying. "Despisc not the
day Of small things" Their Famous
swords are made Of iron scrapings" is
much more picturesque.
The idea Of our IAN lay the load on
the willing horse" they express by
"ThOse who know the ropes do most OF
the hauling" While our commonplace
"Out of evil good may come" finds with
them a fine poetical expression I'm "The
lotus springs from the mud" and In
point of polgnancy our Adding insult
TO injury" is vastly inferior TO their
Rubbing salt on a sore"
The japanese have some really fine
sayings worthy Of universal acceptance,
such as "Thine own heart makes the
world" or The poet at home sees the
entire universe" OF "The throne OF the
god is on the brow OF righteous man."
Their nice observance OF manners is
evidenced by sayings such as Excess
of politcness becomes impOlteness."
their national suspiclousness In the like
of Don't trust pigeon to carry grain"
and the handy mans adherence OF
bungler finds expression in numerous
quips such as Learning TO swim In a
