PuzzIina Scottish rarn,a.

There are many puzzling differences between Scottish and English law terms. For instance, bankruptcy is in Scotland an "act of sequestration," a solicitor is either a tfwriter'' or a flaw agent the argument in case is the debate" the assize is the jury, a wrongdoer is a delinquent" an idiot in Scottish law-is "a fatuous per son." and burglary is (with true Scot dsh caution) 'fhousebreaki king with an aggravadon." Finally, an author is in Scotland not a person who writes, but the vender or seller of real property, from whom the title to it is derived.

MAN KILLED AND BROTHER
 BADLY HURT
Drunken BraWI in New Milford
 Has Serious Result

New Milford. Conn, April 21-stan- ley Gill, aged 26, was killed and his brother Frank, aged 35 badly wounded during a fight, early today, at a house in Boardman, two miles north of this village. Frank MiaSga, p, and Jo- seph Phillippovis, 35, are being sought by the authorities as the assailants. The four men had been drinking for a good part of the preceding evening and in the early morning became in volved in a quarrel.
 Frank Gill was battered about the head and also had his skull slashed Stanley's face had been crushed in and it is thought he died within few mo ments. After the fight the Gills were put out of the place, 1t is said, but when Miasga and Phillipovis saw that Stanley had died, they dragged the body into the hallway again and left it there, proceeding to the village where they purchased some cigarettes and then disappeared. It is believed they left town on a freight train.
 Miasga is said by the police to have served sentences for various offenses, among them being that of carrying concealed weapons including brass knuckles. The police today expressed the opinion that the wounds which caused Stanley Gills death may have been made with brass knuckles.
 The murdered man was employed as a farmland, his brother worked as Q rock driller. Philltppovis is a black smith employed at the lime kiln, but Miasga is not known to have a regu- lar occupation.

rhe MiIk In the coooanut.

South Africa natives along the Or
 ange river have way of producing milk which, primitive as it is, vies in ingenuity with the method of those who believe in the synthetic produc- don of what the journalist, hardup for a synonym, has been known to call ''the lacteal fIuid.'' After cutting the top from cocoanut, the native places the nut over hot ashes, so that the warmth may cause the fat and 'but- ter'' contained in the husk to be ab- sorbed by the milk. This changes the mi1k's quality and gives it a paIatable taste. In order to deal with several nuts at a time the natives construct rough holders from old iron hoops The ashes are placed under the grat ing and the nuts set in it. Obviously there must be no actual fire beneath the nuts or they would be burned away and the milk be lost.-Argonaut.

Which ralrs Quicker?


 If one marble be snapped horizontal ly from the top of a table and another be dropped from the same height at the same instant, which reaches the floor first7
 This question is sent to the Scientific American by a correspondent, and the editor of that magazine answers it as follows:
 Sir Isaac Newton stated three laws of motion which from his time to the present have been universally accepted as true. The second law is. "A given force produces the same effect whether 1t acts upon body at rest or in mo- tion, whether it acts alone or together with other forces" You will see that the second part of this law covers the case of a ball dropped from a table and another ball shot horizontally from the same level at the same instant. The first ball falls by the force of gray lty alone. The second ball has, as you say, two forces acting upon it. The ball obeys both forces at the same time It falls as if gravity acted alone It goes by the blow as if the blow act ed alone. Both balls reach the floor at the same instant.

WALL STREET TODAY

New York, April 21-Opening- First prices of the active stocks showed few variations of importance with the exception of Southern Pacific, which advanced a point. Cotton Oil decltn- ed a point. Union Pacific and Anal gamated opened unchanged and Steel advanced a small fraction on an mi tia1 transaction of 1000 shares. An easier tone developed during the first few minutes of trading.
 11a. m.-Beet Sugar fell nearly two points but the remainder of the list hardened slowly. Business virtually ceased after prices had returned to level with Saturdays close.
 Noon-Trading was perfunctory through the morning and fluctuations were restricted to narrow limits. Wall street regarded the intention of the government to intervene in the rail- road rate cases before the supreme court as promising another indefinite delay before final settlement of the issue involved. The prospect was dis couraging to SpeculatOrs who had been hoping for an early decision and busf- ness fell off to midsummer propOr- tions. Foreign dealings threw little light on the probable course of prices, hesitation abroad being ascribed to measures to conserve resources pend ing adjustment of political and finan- cial conditions. Bonds were irregular.

 SHOWN BY HIS
 PARISHIONERS Rev. w. H. Lynch of St. Charles Church Presented with Purse
 of $250O Recognition of Silver Jubilee and to Enable Him to Take Trip
 to Recover Health

To show their appreciation of the
 splendid service he has rendered since he was made pastor of St. Charles
 parish Nov. 8, 1902, at which time it
 was set off as new parish from St.
 Mary's parish, the members of St, Charles through committee repre-
 senting them presented Rev. w. H.
 Lynch the pastor with purse amounting to about $2,50O, which will
 be used by him in a trip Abroad in an effort to recover his health which
 ties of his pastorate during the past ten years.
 Father Lynch was made pastor of the new parish upon November A. 1902 starting with practically noth- ing, and since then has constructed a was used for a time as a church, a convent, a parochial residence and the basement of what will eventually be the most magnificent Catholic church in this city. This meant an immense amount of labor and while he was assisted by efforts of the members of his congregation and the curates assigned to his parish, he was over worked, and has developed a ser- ious ailment which requires absolute rest. He has been confined to his home for some time; but is improv- s, for long rest in the near future.
 Knowing this condition and to show their appreciation of his labor for the benefit the members of the parish quietly circulated a subscription pa per, secured a sum of about s2, 800 and last night it was presented in the name of the parish by a committee composed Of James Colgan, John F. Gaynor and Joseph J. Mullins. the presentation being made to Father Lynch in his room in the rectory af- the committee had been introduced by Rev. J. F. Callahan who received them.
 Father Lynch was ordained to the priesthood 25 years ago next June, and the presentation last night took into consideration the silver jubilee of his priesthood, but was advanced to en- able him to receive the gift and make use of 1t for a trip to regain his health. He was born in Waterbury 50 years ago, educated in the Catho- lie schools of that city, and then stud jed for the priesthood, after his ordi- nation being assigned as an assistant to the late Monsignor SIocum at the church of the Immaculate Concep- ton in Waterbury. He was transfer red from Waterbury to South Man chester. and then to St. Mary's church in the city as assistant to the late Rev. John F. Rogers. After the death of the latter St. Mary's parish was divided and Father Lynch was assign ed as pastor of the new parish of St. Charles, his present charge.
 Father Lynch has been suffering from a heart affection, but is recover ing and expects soon to go away for a trip, possibly to Europe, in an eff fort to effect a complete restoration of his health. He Is extremely pop uIar with his parishioners and the gift of last night is a, tes- timoniaI to the appreciation in which he is held, of his 1abors, and of con gratuIation upon his approaching sil- yer jubilee.
 inc gift but expressed his thanks briefly. There was but little cere- mony observed owing to the condition of his health.
