A TRIBUTE.
Cesare lombroso, Noted For Work
Alienist and CrminoIouist

CeSare Lombroso, the noted Italian
criminolo2ist and alienst, who died Octo-
Der 19. is thus described by ii former MEM
ber of the scholars household in Turin:
In appearance he was most unimposing.
Dminutve, very stout with a stiff. pro-
lecting bit of chin beard he had very
long waist and very short legs This gave
him in walking the effect of pushing along
over the ground. He took small steps and
was always the me-abstracted, far
away, visionary thinking of something
that had little nothing to do with the
present I thinl, that it was his prosaic,
almost comical appearance that prevented
us as children from approaching with
what a great man we were associating.
with some amusement | now recall
how his family were forced to guard him
from the depredationS of a world he was
ill-fitted to resist. In fact, it was no eX-
aegeration to say. that without his de-
voted wife he would have been pannless
in no time A man of unbounded kind
ness, he could never resist appeals for as
sistance. He received countless such an
peals, and. needless to say, most OF them
were imposturaS.
Il have a vivid memory of his uncon-
Germ about dress. Many time when he
started out to the university his wife had
to run after him and bring him back to
put Oh his necltie. Equally careful she
rad 20 be to see that he did not wander
forth en- cold evenings without an aver
coat. T'ress in general Prof. i.oobroso
recorded as a botharsoma necessity he
considered that he lacked Tho tine to
give to such niceties.-Chieago News.
