Curious Old English Law.

1t is interesting to recall in connec.
ton with railway accidents that only
a few years back any instrument
which by accident was the immediate
cause Of loss of human life became in
English law "deodand"-that is, be-
came forfeit to the crown. to be de-
voted to pious purposes. This law ap-
plies to locomotives, but in course Of
time coroners' juries, instead Of claim
ing the forfeit. inflicted a fine. In the
year 1888 a locomotive on the Liver
pool and Manchester line which by
exploding caused the death of its en-
gineer and fireman was fined EGO.
while the following year another en-
CINE on the same line was fined Fl. 400.

Hair Monstrositiss.

French theater managers In the
eighteenth century had worse evils
than picture hats to contend against.
Marie Antoinette. who was short even
according TO French standards. set the
fashion of high coiffures. and ultra
fashionable women prided themselves
on measuring four feet from their
chins to the tops of their heads.
These structures took about six hours
to erect. the hairdresser mounting a
ladder in the process. Some coiffures
were almost as broad as they were
long. with wings sticking out about
eight inches on each side of the head
For the "frigate" coiffure the hair was
rippled In huge pile to represent the
waves of an angry sea and surmount-
ed by fully rugged ship. AS con-
sequence of these monstrosities dis
turbances in theaters occurred almost
daily until an ordinance was issued
against the admission of women with
high coiffures to the floor of the house.
