Not Larceny Under Code


Justice Greenbaum then asked whether
Judge Cohen thought that his interpre-
tation would shield from conviction of
larceny an officer who accepted money
wrongfuly given to him or paid to him
by check by an officer having that au-
thority.
Judge Cohen said that If criminal wrong
doing was charged, it was covered by
other provisions of the penal code, but
he maintained that 1t would not be lar
oeny under the code. Justice Greenbaum
remarked
"A mans motive may be perfectly good
and yet he may be guilty of crime"
Judge Cohen replied that there Is a
distinction between motive and intent,
and he declared that criminal intent
is essential in proving the commission
OF crime.

Antiquity Of Soap.

CHARCOAL AS MEDICINE.
An Antidote For Poison and a Good
Household Remedy.

1ouscnoio neWeoJ'
Charcoal as a home medicine has
many uses, says Medical Talk.
'Tqr all forms of poison pulyer-
lied charcoal is recommended to act
as if by magic"
Our opinion is that these ac-
counts just now are greatly exagger-
,ted. We doubt very much whether
a poisonous dose of strychnine would
be antidoted by charcoal. At the
same time, we believe charcoal to be
a very excellent remedy, especially
in ptomaine poisoning. All kinds
of fermentation of food within the
stomach or decomposition Of food
are Immediately corrected by char
coal.
For many years we have been in
the habit Of prescribing pulyerized
charcoal for cholera infantum. This
we add to the milk or other fluid
nourishment which the child is TAX
ing. The dose is immaterial. AS
much as can be taken will do no
harm.
We believe that the frequent use
of charcoal in most cases of dys-
pepsia would be beneficial. Char
coal is perfectly harmless and can
II A
be taken freely without the slight
est danger.
Charcoal acts as a disinfectant
and absorbent of nOxious gases and
thoroughly cleanses the whole ali
mentary canal. Therefore, while
we regard these recent accounts
about the curative virtues of char
coal as exaggeration, we are glad so
innocent and useful a remedy as
charcoal has been brought into
prominence by them.
We recommend our readers to
give pulverized charcoal a promi-
nent place as a household remedy.
1t can be made by those who use
wood as a fuel. Hard wood is the
best. The coal should be clean
one. 1t can be pulverized with a
rolling pin. Those who do not have
access to Goals can purchase the
charcoal already pulverized at the
drug store.
1t is a cheap remedy. 1t is an eff
fcient remedy. 1t is harmless
remedy, and it is a remedy that we
can thoroughly recommend in all
stomach and intestinal disorders.
In cases where it does no good it
certainly will do no harm.
If we were present at a case OF
accidental poisoning and had no
other antidote convenient we should
certainly use pulverized charcoal,
Therefore, it may be well to. bear
this in mind. Should any one be
poisoned in the household a doctor
should be Immediately sent for.

MODERN AFRICA.
The Partitioning of the Continent
Among the Powers.

The Partitionlng of the Continent
Among the Powers.
BY 1895 the partition Of Africa
had become an established fact. AL
most every square mile of its sur
face having been scrambled for
There is no better world by the
great powers of Europe, the most
remarkable circumstance of this gi-
gantic acquisition Of territory was
the absence of international strife.
Africa emerged from the struggle
of the chancelleries of Europe to
find itself provided with new mas
tiers in many directions. France
had become the possessor of $780,
900 square miles of territory, 1,600,-
900 Of which lay in the great Sa-
hara desert; Great Britain of 2,200,-
600; Germany, a newcomer, of near
ly 100000; Italy, also a new ar
rival, of $4,000, including doubt

sinia; Spain of 100000; the three
free states or republicS-Liberian,
Belgian and Afrikander Dutch-of
100000.
The oldest colonies, Turkey and
Portugal, claimed 100000 and
$4,000. A total in all of 1870
900, leaving the poor little fraction
of 100000 unallotted, of which TO-
900 lay in the great lakes and most
of the remainder in the balance OF
boundlry commissions.
By 1905 Britain, in annexing the
South African republics and estab-
fishing with Egypt joint control
of the Sudan, added 100000 to her
total, and with her practical control
of the destinies of Egypt itself is
today the virtual ruler over some

Hats In Parliament.

History does not tell, so far as we
know, how it came about that mem.
bers of the English parliament wear
their hats. The custom has de-
scended from an age when its pro-
ceedings were not recorded, but one
may suspect that thereby hangs a
tale of sturdy and victorious revolt
against privilege, such as broke out
at Versailles, could it be recovered
Now and again we find an antique
allusion to the practice. When the
commons voted that every one
should uncover or stir or move his
hat" when the speaker expressed the
thanks Of the house for any service
done by member, Lord Falkland
stretched both his arms out and
clasped his hands together on the
crown of his hat and held it down
close to his head, that all might see
how odious that flattery was tc
him."-London Chronicle.

then a young lawyer in Boston, hav-

and signing himself, civilian c.
Wait" The man to whom he wrote
answered promptly with a witty
note, saying he would be much
obliged if the lawyer would change
his name to "Will U. Wait" Mr..
Wait, ignoring the Righteousness of
the letter, wrote quite sharply, de-
handing an immediate payment OF
the bill, whereupon he received a
short note in reply, saying that,
after all, the delinquent thought
the lawyers name should be simply

beast was fully twelve years old. 80
he decided to 60 back and tell the
swindler he had lied to him about
the animal. However, owing to 1t

he was not able to go until about
