Hct any punishment he saw fit. No law maker
had prescribed or limited the punishment. The
judge exercised tie "prerogative Of king"
and he inflicted such punishment as he saw fit.
The old rule was that an Injunction could
not issue where there was a remedy at law. If
a man committed crime, there was remedy
in the criminal law. Exercising this "prerog-

presages what is in store Tor the people of this

from the White House. Speaking of this &C.

to deprive one paper of news, as in the case Of

In America, there is tobacco monopoly, also,

The state treasurer refused to pay the bills. The

After such landslide as there was in Kansas

The talk in New York about electing another
man to take Depew's place in the senate all
grows out of the fact that the Vanderblts have
lost control of the New York Central and Rock
efeller is the dominating force in that line now.
The Vanderbilts sent Depew to the senate to
look after their interests, aud now that they
have lost control OF the railroad, some other
man is likely to be sent to look after its inter
ests. If Depew can get close enough to Rock
efeller he may be chosen. Under the pluto
cratic system in vogue in that state, the people
have nothing whatever to say about it,

A Queer ceylone.e Grass.

Lemon grass, known to botanists
as Andropogen schaenanthus and
which is unknown outside of Ceylon,
and there only in the Kandian dis
trict, is in several respects most re-
markable vegetable production. It
grows to height of six or seven feet
and has the wonderful property Of
spontaneous ignition. On the slopes
Of Mount Ambulawe during the wet
season the grand spectacle of these
spontaneous contlagrations is frequent
ly seen. AT first single curl Of smoke
or bright tongue of flame will be no.
ticed. Soon, however, as the water runs
down the stalks and mingles with the
oil and acids contained in the pith Of
this curious herb fierce fires burst into
view here, there and every place, soon
covering the whole mountain in a
sheet of flame. The botanists and
chemists have not as yet explained
why this paradoXical grass ignites
when water falls upon its stalks.

Pig and Pony.

I am the owner Of pony and small
black pig, which, after the manner Of
the country, runs loose and finds its
own food. The pony is kept stabbed at
night, but for part of the day is out
grazing and is fed with corn every
morning near the dining room window.
The corn is put in a box which rests on
the ground. When the pony comes he
is always accompanied by the pig, who
sits between his fore feet and occa-
sionally takes little corn himself II
he takes too much the pony gives him
gentle bite, as reminder not to be
greedy. The pig sleeps against the
stable door ut is not allowed to go in
side, so as to be near its friend, and
when the pony is grazing the pig is al
ways just alongside. When l go out
for drive or a ride and the pony has
to wait, friend pig lies down between
his feet until we start. On returning
from the drive the pig jumps about,
making the most absurd antics to greet
his friend, and grunts a queer, sharp
grunt, looking for all the world like
fat and clumsy old spaniel greeting its
master. 1t then trots off to the stable
with its friend. No other pig dare go
near the pony, as he has great dislike
for animals as whole and bites them
savagely.-London News.

PROMPT Decision.

The secret of getting through work is
method. Order, it has been said, is
Gods first law. Let it be yours. Do not
let your WORK accumulate upon your
hands. 1t is not work that kills, but
arrears of work. Work put off is work
put on with heavy interest. Sufficient
unto the day is the evil thereof" 1t
becomes intolerable if it be laid upon
tomorrow.
If may recommend you three rules
for saving time and economizing
strength they shall be these: Answer
letters, keep appointments, make up
your minds. In the affairs of this life
a prompt decision is often more impor-
tant than a right decision. One man
makes up his mind and acts it may be,
wrongly, but if so he finds out his mis-
take, corrects and retrieves it before
another man has acted at all. It is
possible to waste great amount Of
time by thinking, and still more by
talking over actions. First thoughts
are sometimes wiser than second and
generally wiser than third. - Contem-
porary Review.

Sir philip Franci. at cards.

Francis, the Sir Philip Francis whom
many ingenious critics have, in def
ance of probability, insisted on identi-
flying with the author of the letters Of
Junius, was an inveterate gambler.
Cards dominated over the whole Anglo
Indian society Of Calcutta in those
days, and many crime inflicted on
the unhappy natives had it's origin in
the losses at the gaming table of their
alien rulers.
When in India, it was the habit Of
Francis to spend every night in this
amusement, and he found an able CO.
adjutor at the card table in the wife Of
his colleagues, Lady Anne Monson,
who was reckoned "a very superior
whist player" Good fortune generally
shone on the plans of Francis. About
1875 he was visited with IAN extraordi-
nary run of luck" so marked indeed
that he had actually won fortune -
Rumor, which sometimes exaggerates,

the curiosities may be enumerated
laths formed of splinters from ships
that have been wrecked; also frames
made Of pieces of heavy cables, occa-
sionally painted bright hues, but some
times left in their primitive gray col

of hard wood, evidently mementos Of
terrible struggles. Sailors or lands

Action of the Earth Upon Bodies.
Years ago, when the bodies We're re-
moved from the Cimetiere DIES limo
cents at Paris, the common pits in
which great numbers of the bodies had
been inferred together We're found to
contain masses of grayish white
soapy substance. The matter was not
very well understood at that time, but
it is now known that the remains of
the dead are under certain conditions
transformed into such a material, Ell
ther wholly or in part, which has been
named "adipocere." 1t is a true am
moniacal soap, being a combination of
fatty acids with ammonia.
Bodies that are exposed to the action
Of water percolating through the soil
are most apt to undergo this species of
transformation. Inasmuch as adipo-
cere is not perishable under ordinary
circumstances, corpses thus changed
very often retain their form indefinite
ly. Now and then they are dug up, and
ignorant writer's in newspapers refer
to them> as wonderful instances of
''petrifaction.'
