UPSET CLAIM OF DOCTOR.
HaIIucination Proved, but Other Evil
dence Was Too Strong.

Chloroform, it appears, begets
strange visions which may be libelous.
A story comes from Paris that doc
tors wife has been petitioning for a
divorce on various grounds. The evil
dence on her side included the state
ment of servant girl employed in a
friends house. The doctor was called
in, to attend to the maid during an
illness. A surgical operation was
deemed necessary and the girl was
put under chloroform. On awakening
after the operation the first thing she
saw was the doctor kissing her mis-
tress-that is to say, his wife's best
friend-and, of course, she told the
wife. Respondent has met this evil
dence with a learned lecture on the
effects of chlorofOrm.
To attach credence to the girls
story argued ignorance of the peculiar
properties of the drug. The doctor
called Professors Brouardel and De-
bove to support him and both authori-
ties agreed that chloroform is well
known to produce such osculatory hal
fluctuations. These are not only fire.
quent during an anaesthesia, but often
persist after the return of conscious
ness. The servant girl had been
dreaming of kisses, and on awakening
imagined that she saw the doctor
kissing her mistress. 1t was mere
hallucination, and the doctor had
never thought of kissing the woman,
either then or at any other more ia
yorable time The court was con-
vinced by the two learned professors
and rejected the servant girls evil
dence. Unfortunately for the doctor,
other grounds for divorce brought
forward by the wife were proved to
be not hallucinatory, but substantial
and she has won her suit.

Merry England.

Times and manners change. Inc
customs of London, ancient and mod
ern, greatly differ. Says the London
Times, regarding medieval days:
Dancing was a passion with every
body. From the queen to the milk
maid, all the women danced; from the
king to the crftsman, all the young
men danced. They danced in the
streets whenever it was possible,
which was one of the reasons why
May day was so joyous a festival
The more courtly people had dances
dignified and stately, such as the
Danse au Virlet, in which each per-
former sang verse, and then they
all danced around, singing the same
verse in chorus; the Pas de Brabant,
where every man knelt to his partner;
the Danse au Chaplet, where every
man kissed his partner; they danced
together, singing minstrels' songs,
they danced in the garden, they
danced in the meadow, they went out
at night to dance, with tapers in their
hands; they danced to beautiful music
played by an orchestra. Where is
the dancing spirit now? Where the
mixed kissing? When did Merry Eng
land die? When did it begin? Was
it ever 500"

ROMAN RELICS IN SCOTLAND.
Bronze Vase of Fine Workmanship
and Collection of Armor Unearthed.

One of the most interesting contri-
buttons to the Scottish Historical Re-
view deals with the excavations of the
Roman fort at Newstead, Melrose,
which are being carried out under the
auspices of the Society of Antiquities
of Scotland. Owing to the nature and
variety of the finds, and the care
with which they are being recovered
and preserved, the work may we'll
lance. James Curle, of Melrose,
distinguished border antiquary, who
contributes notes on some recent
finds, says the most striking result
OF the work lies in the collection of
objects from the Roman period which
have been brought to light.
"The finds, for the most part, have
been made in clearing out what would
appear to be disused wells or rubbish
pits. These have been found outside
the fort, as we'll as within the ram
parts. In depth they vary from IL to
80 feet, and all of them are more or
less filled with decomposed animal
animal and vegetable matter, which
has a marked preservative influence"
Mr.. Curle gives a detailed descrip-
ton OF finely preserved specimen OF
bronze vase with a single handle.
1t stands IL inches high, and, it is
conjectured, dates from the first en-
fury. The vase is undecorated, eX-
cept for the handle, which is of fine
workmanship. No fewer than Ia pits
have been cleared out in the field
known as the Fore Ends, lying to
the south of the fort In one of these
two chariot wheels, three feet in di-
ameter, were found, also human
skull, cleft by the blow of some sharp
weapon. From another pit came a
most valuable collection of armor, in
GLIDING a Roman brass helmet. The
helmet is in a wonderfully good state
Of preservation. Mr. Curle considers
it the most perfect object of the find.
1t covers the head and neck, and has
high, projecting peak in front. The
whole of the crown is covered with
an embossed design and an inscrip-
ton, presumably the owners name, is
punctured on the rim.

We will wager a few coppers with
anyone that the two-cent railroad
rate bill will have hard shedding
before the end of the session.
There are some prospects that the
bill will bump up against two
and-a half cent rate before it be-
comes law. Those who are in a
position to know claim the two cent
rate is unfair to the railroads and
that should this become law, the
travelling public would suffer, as
the roads would be compelled to
run their trains and furnish ac-
commodations on a cheap basis.
Besides, children would pay the
same as a grown person, the only
half fare would be for babies and
furthermore the baggage allow
ance would be cut down.
