WITH THE BRAND OF GAIN.
French Scientist Advocates the Mark.
 ing of Murderers.

A French scientist has made a re markable proposal in regard to the punishment of murderers in France. He is of the opinion that neither gull. lotining nor life Imprisonment is an adequate or suitable punishment for murder. The guillotine. he points out, infiicts absolutely no suffering on the criminal, who is probably a man who has passed his life in infiicting suffer. ing on others. As to life imprison. ment, it entails heavy expense to the country and generally reduces the prinoner to insanity. He suggests. therefore, that such criminals shall be branded on the face with redhot iron and then released. The branding, he thinks. should be done in public, the M" signifying meurtrier, the French word for murderer, being stamped as an ineradicable mark on the forehead of the criminal. He would thus bear about to the end of his days the mark of his crime. and be con stant warning to his kind.
