public prosecutor was Mr.. Ould. and
associated with him was Mr.. Carlisle.
The prisoner had quite an array of
criminal lawyers to defend him The
excitement during the trial was most
intense, and extended to the rernotcst
parts OF the land. y great amount of
evidence was put in, the discussions
and arguments OF the learned array OF
counsel were listened to by crowded
audiences. and profound solemnity
marked every countenance.
The main propositions constituted
the substance OF Mr.. Sickness legal de-

Active Principles Of Plants.

A new method Of obtaining the
active principles of plants in the state
in which they exist in the fresh plant
is used with success by the French
scientist, Professor Perrot, of the
Paris School Of Pharmacy. and to-
gether with M. Goris he employs a
special method Of treating plants for
medical use. In this way he obtains
extracts Of a differnt nature from
what are given in the usual process
where dried plants are employed.
Such extracts can be used to great ad-
vantage. as they contain the active
principles Of the plants in more suit
able and unaltered form. Thus, by
his process. the leading active princi-
pies such as alkaloids or glucosides
and diastases are preserved in their
complex combinations such as they
existed in the cells of the plant, and
under this form 1t Is found that their
action on the human body Is identical
with that Of the fresh plant. Such
combinations are rendered stable by
treating the sterilized powder Of the
freshly-dried plant by alcohol so as to
make an extract. This is then evapo-
rated in vacuo and then freed from
fatty matter, wax or resin. then dried
by cold process. Such extracts are
soluble in water.

LIKE THE OLD TIME SAILORS
Captains Of French Fishing Vessels
Still Navigate the Atlantic Ocean
Without Chronometers.

The French sea captains who bring
their vessels across the Atlantic every
spring to fish on the Newfoundland
banks navigate almost exactly as they
did in the days of Columbus. OF the
$50 French sailing vessels on the
banks last year 24O were fitted out in
Normandy and Brittany. Their cap
tains found their way across the track
less wastes of the ocean without diff
ficulty.
They take observations for latitude.
but they have no chronometers and
are unable to tell their longitude ex-
cept by guesswork. On the westward
voyage they can tell by soundings
when they arrive on the banks. On
the return voyage in the fall they
roughly estimate their position when
they cross the lanes Of the trans-At-
lantic liners converging toward the
English channel. In spite of this prim.
tive navigation these shippers reach
port in safety year after year. There
are about $500 men engaged in this
fishery. They leave France in March

It requires a good tonic laxative to
keep the body Of the patient as strong
as possible to counteract the effect Of
the poisons created by the grip bacil-

laxative qualities is the safest rem
edy. Such is Peruna. Beware es-

There Is no specific for the grip.
Peruna has been used with good
