at GrasSendaIe, near Liverpool, where
Mr.. Maybrick had q prosperous bust
ness. 1t was not long before the young
wife discovered that her husband had
by no means abandoned his diSsipated
habits. His conduct remained scandal
Gus even after a boy and girl had come
into the family. To make matters
worse, the husband was addicted to the
drug habit and frequently took arsenic.
In April, 1889. it CHANGED that May
brick, who had been sick. was invited
by Il friend TO go To the races. and he
rode OH horseback through a rain
storm. Notwithstanding his poor health
he remained out late in wet clothes and
next day was taken seriously i'll and
died within two weeks. The physicians
certificate said that death was caused
by inflammation of the stomach due to
grave indiscretion in eating" In some
way Maybrick's brothers. who had CON
ceived Il strong dislike TO the young
wife. became suspicious that he had not
died natural death. Their accusations
led to Mrs. Maybrick'S arrest on the
charge of causing her husbands death
through administering arsenic.
When the trial came off the evidence
against the defendant WAS very fiimSy.
But she was convicted. owing to the
charge of the judge. which practically
instructed the jury to convict. She
was sentenced to be hanged. Public
protest induced the home secretary to
commute the sentence to life impriSon-
ment, on the ground that there was a
reasonable doubt of her having admin
istered arsenic to her husband. 1t was
argued by Mrs. Maybrick's friends that
if such Il doubt existed she should
have had the benefit of it and been
freed instead of imprisoned As the
English law does not provide for an
appeal in such Il case except to the
home secretary, there was no way of
securing Il revision of the conviction
by higher court. Mrs. Maybricll Ian
guiShed for some years in Working and
afterward was taken to Aylesbury
prison.
In the meantime the judge under
whom she was convicted had to resign
from the bench because of his mental
condition, and subsequently, he was
sent to an insane asylum, where he
died. Mrs. Alaybrick'S friends claimed
that he was of unsound mind at the
time of the trial and that this account
ed for his strange conduct in the case.
No impression could be made upon the
authorities, however, by the appeals
for her pardon. Throughout Mrs May
bricks Imprisonment her mother. the
Baroness de ROques, was devoted to
her and employed every means in her
power to secure her daughters free
dom.

THE SLY WEASEL,
How He Finally Trapped and Killed
a Monster Rat.

A sawmill in an Iowa town was in
tested with rats. which. being unmo-
Tested. became very numerous and bold
and played round the mill among the
men while they worked during the day.
But one day a weasel came upon the
scene and at once declared war on the
rats.
One by one the rats became victims
of the weasels superior strength until
only one very large. strong fellow was
left of the once numerous colony. The
weasel attacked the big rat several
times. but each time the rat proved
more than a match for his slender an
tagonist and chased the weasel to a
hiding place.
One day the weasel was seen buSily
digging under n lumber pile near the
mill. He was engaged for some time
but later appeared again in the mill.
seeking his old enemy. He soon found
him and at once renewed hostilitieS.
AS usual. after a lively tussle, the rat
proved too much for him, and he ran,
pursued closely by the rat. straight to
the hole under the lumber pile.
He ran in. still followed by the rat,
almost Immediately reappeared round
the end of the pile and again lodged
into the hole behind the rat. Neither
was seen again for some time, but the
weasel finally reappeared. looking no
worse for the fight.
The curiosity of the men in the mill
was aroused. and they proceeded to in
vestigate the hole under the lumber
pile. They found that the weasel had
dug the hole sufficiently large at the
first end to admit the rat. but had
gradually tapered it as he proceeded
until at the other end it barely allowed
his own slender body to pass.
When the rat chased him into the
large end of this underground funnel
he quickly slipped on through, and
while the rat was trying to squeeze his
large body into the smaller part of the
hole the weasel lodged in behind him
and, catching him in the rear and in
place where he could not turn round,
finished him at his leisure.

Perhaps because Il near neighbor OF
mine followed the sea in his youth and
used to reSale me in after dinner hours
with narratives of life aboard whaler
was more interested than you may be
in the old whaling outfit which hangs
in the North Carolina exhibit. What
exciting scenes must have accompanied
their use. The picture in the old geOg-
raphy labeled Whaling In the Arc
tics" represented n whale breaking a
boat in two with Flip of his tail, while
men were flying in the air like so many
pairs of open shears in the hands of
juggler. That picture gave me Il per-
petual distaste for whaling in its rigor-
Gus reality, but the narratives have
never lost flavor
You may not know that whaling is
still an industry of no small Importance
along the Atlantic coast, for we still
must have whalebOne. Whales are, in
fact more abundant than at the time
whaling lost its greatest Importance,
following the discovery of petroleum
The Whaling of North Carolina is shore
whaling" but the whaler's outfit is the
same as used aboard ship when the
whales are dashed TO the sides to be cut
up and the blubber tried out on board
the vessel This outfit was in use as
late as last spring off Beaufort. On one
of the lances we may read upon label
in the whaler's own language, Bin in
43 Whales"
When whale was sighted in the
old days the first act was TO harpoon
him. This act was usually attended
with great peril. 1 suspect that the
men in the geography picture had Just
harpooned a whale and the whale had
resented it Then came the lancinS
with the long sharp spear 10 reach the
lungs and cause death. Between the
happening and lancing d considerable
interval usually occurred. The whale
would sound" after harpooning, go
ing below and taking with him boat
load of rope attached TO the harpoon.
The harpoon has cruel barbs. its first
purpose being to fasten a line 10 the
whale. Sometimes the line would not
