A GOOD BILL.

A bill introduced in the New York
legislature to put an end to the
abuses of expert testimony in crlml-
nal trials deserves and no doubt will
obtain serious consideration at the
hands of the legislators. There used
to be a time when expert testimony
had great weight with Il jury, but
that was long before the average
Jury became impressed with the fact
than an expert physician testifies in
many cases exactly as he is paid. So
bad has that practice grown that
the value of this character OF testi-
mony has been reduced toa mini
mum, and the evidence OF the old
time family physician, who testifies
as his Judgment and his conscience
dictate and not according To the
purse hung up, is OF far more value
in the mind of the iuryman than the
= high priced doctors, who are out for
the money and care nothing for the
rest. 1t is a significant fact that the
Jury in the Thaw case, il reports br
true, absolutely and entirely ignored
the evidence of the experts OH both
sides and based their conclusions
mainly on the testimony of the lay
men witnesses, and this in spite OF
the fact that the examination OF
these experts took up by far the
greater part of the trial. 1t is to he
hoped that the New York legisla-
ture. and Others as well, will make
some law which will result in the fu
ture elimination OF experts. There
are several ways in which it might
be done, but the best would seem to
be some system which would pro-
vide board OF skilled doctors paid |
by the State, and who could thus
testify uninfluenced by cash. This is
one way. There may be many |
others, but let us trust that some
one of them will be adopted.

Curious Mixup That Occurred Recent

A curious mistake occurred yester- day at the hospital at Amiens, says correspondent of the London Mail. Two young women had recently been attended there. One had given birth to boy, and the other had given birth to girl. Yesterday their babies were taken from them to be vaccinated. After the vaccination the babies, in their swaddling clothes, were returned to their mothers, who went away with them. Soon afterward one of the mo thers returned to the hospital in tears. Her child was boy, but on re- turning home she discovered that the nurse had handed her a girl She in sisted on her boy being returned to her. X scene of great confusion oc- cured, as nobody knew the address of the other mother. At last, toward nightfall. the other mother arrived. greatly excited, complaining that she had been given boy in mistake for her girl baby. The change was duly executed, and the two mothers went away happy.

THE RICKSHAW AND DANDY.
Primitive Modes of Travel in Fill
 Country of India.

In the mountain districts of India the principal vehicles of passenger conveyance are the 'rickshaw and the dandy" with which Rudyard Kipling has made us familiar. United States Consul Gen. Michael, of Calcutta. writes thus about these vihicles: The rickshaw- is pushed and pulled through the streets and on the roads leading out into the country by four coolies, and the dandy is carried on the shoulders of four and sometimes six cooles. Saddle ponies are also used to some extent but most of the inhabitants and quite all visitors used the 'rickshaw and dandy. The latter is constructed on the plan of a sleigh box, but longer A pole is attached fore and aft, which Is long enough to give springy motion when the coolies are walking and trotting A cross piece rests on the shoulders of the coolies and is shifted now and then from one Shoulder to the other for '- !~......-.s.. U1 the coolie in charge this shift is made simultane- ously. As a rule, both the rickshaws and the 'dandies are heavier than they need to be, and they are general ly lacking in finish. Yet these vehicles cost as much as light and strong ones well finished should cost The writer would like to place alongside of the 'rickshaws and 'dandies in use in In dia some samples manufactured in the United States after designs made by an American designer. The sam pies would attract orders"
