New Jersey. which is ever a leader
in unique reforms, has something new
in this line. Springless baby carriages
and go-carts have been placed under
the ban by the board of health of
Harrison, n. J., on the ground that
the bumps and jars of the springless
carts cause spinal trouble. There's
probably some sense to this reform.

Indictment of Animals.

Montclair's new ordinance against
barking dogs has some esemblance to
a singular feature of the jurisprud-
ence of the middle ages, when animals
were indicted for injuries inflicted on
human beings. The custom was not
abolished in France until the middle
of the eighteenth century, and the
French court records show that at
least 80 such trials took place be-
tween 1870 and 1741..
An early instance of the custom
was In 1914, when a bull escaped from
farmyard in village of NOISY in
the Duchy Of Valois and gored a man
to death. The Count of Valois, being
informed of the case, directed that the
bull be captured and formally prose-
cuted for homicide. This was done,
and evidence was given by persons
who had seen the man attacked and
killed. The bull was thereupon SEN
fenced to suffer death, which was in
fiicted by strangulation. after which
the carcass was suspended from tree
by the hind legs.
In 1886 a SOW was executed in the
square of Falaise for having caused
the death Of child, and three years
later a horse was condemned to death
at Di5on for having killed a man. In
1457 sow and her six young ones
of having killed and partially eaten a
child. The SOW was convicted and
condemned to death, but the little
ones were acquitted on the ground of
their extreme youth and inexperience,
the bad example of their mother, and
the absence of direct evidence of their
having partaken of the atrocious feast.
One of the most grotesque of these
trials took place in Basle, when a
farmyard cock was tried on the alb
surd charge of having laid an egg. 1t
was contended in support of the
prosecution that eggs laid by cocks
were Of fnestimable worth for use in
certain magical preparations; that a
sorcerer would rather possess a
cocks egg than the elixir Of life, and
that Satan employed witches to hatch
such eggs, from which proceeded
winged serpents most dangerous to
mankind.
The prisoners advocate admitted
the facts Of the case, but contended
that no evil intention had been
proved, and that no evil result had
taken place. Beseides, the laying OF
negg was an involuntary act. and
as such was not punishable by law
Also there was no record of the devil
having made compact with an ami
NAL. The public prosecutor stated in
reply that the evil one sometimes en-
tered into animals, as in the case OF
the swine which drowned themselves
in the Sea Of Galilee.
So the poor creature was convicted
not as cock, but as a sorcerer, OF
perhaps the devil in the form of a
cock; whereupon the bird and the egg
that was attributed to it were solemnly
burned at the stake.-New York
Evening Post.

The Peril of Athletics.

We are not so certain as is Mr.. Slat-
terry, the secretary to Commissioner
Bingham, that most athletes have
weak hearts," but medical records
hypertrophied hearts, which. though
usually strong during the period of
active training, are more susceptible
afterward to organic lesion and degen-
Grafton when the contestant settles
down to sedentary life.
We can believe, too. that the doc
tors who in May pronounced as physi-
cally unfit for work on the police
force Mr.. Melvin w. Sheppard-this
weeks American champion in the
1,500-meter race at the Olympic
games in London-were not mistaken
when they reported that Sheppard
had hardening of the arteries and in
flammation of the cardiac membrane; |;
that he might be a good athlete, but
might also "in the end drop dead"
Even athletes with sound hearts
who train for championship contests
are always in danger from overstrain.
While regular use prolongs the life of
any machinery, whether it be of steel
or flesh and blood, the athletic driving
of the human engine to its top limit
case of the unfortunate stroke in
the recent Yale race with Harvard
may work a lasting INJURY.
Surely the Justification for record
contests of this sort cannot be in their
assurance of health and long life to
the participants. Indirectly, the
sporting interest" they engender is
beneficial. despite it's impulse to make
perilous sacrifices for the sake Of a
possible temporary triumph; for 1t

men to an emulation which, owing to
the providential conflict of other needs
and interests, takes them out of doors

Creeds for Kittens.


There recently appeared in an Eng
lish country newspaper this advertise
ment: Kitten wanted; happy home Of
fered in Freethinker's family for a
playful, pretty kitten; much love, good
food ETC." The want" induces a
pleasant speculation. From it one
gathers that modern civilization is ad-
vancing in the direction for solicitude
for the welfare of animals. Consider
ing the advertisement further, it ap-
pears that the awakening of the pub
lie conscience" Is a condition. not a
theory If honesty had not been pop
ularized, or standardized, would one
so declare in the public print, for a
kittens sake, his creed, or rather lack
of a creed? Possibly the owner Of the
kitten might prefer for its shelter a
good Christian home, but the animal
could not go far wrong il under the
influence of SO conscientious a lover of
cats as "Freethinker."-Bos Trans
