VIRGINIA sWEARs OFF.

The swearing off of Virginia by it's vote for statewide prohibition presents an interesting contrast with the recent election in the prohibition state Of Maine where the candidate favorab ble to local option was victorious, though such does not bring about any change in it's standing as @ dry state. Vtr- gfnia has accomplished a notable vic- tory through it's complete reversal Of position and is the sixth state in that section of the country to endorse this policy. Alabama, Georgia, North Caro- lima, Tennessee and West Virginia having preceded and unquestionably lent their influence in bringing about the change.
 Though the declaration at the polls does not settle the matter, a, most inn portant step has been taken. There remains to follow the equally essen tiaI question of enforcement, for upon that the success of any legislation de. bends. It is absolutely useless to Vpte prohibition and fail to enforce it, but the wish of the majority of the people of the state having been registered that same force must stand behind the putting of the laws into operation. Virginia has the experience /of many other states to guide it as well as the widespread claim that prohibition fails to proI1ibit.- Thus the manner in which it insists upon the observance of its laws and lives up to it's declara- ton is going to be watched with in- terest throughout the country. It re- mains to be seen what help 1t can give to that large number of people who are from Missouri"

 Its not generally known that when Professor Ripley was found in the 1a- boratory there were marks on his throat as if he had been strangled. The autopsy showed he died of heart failure, but I say that was probably the result of fear of the murderer who was choking him. That old Esyptian story I was telling you was translated from some old papyri they found clutched in his hand.
 '1t was these peculiar circumstances that gave away the murder to me- On the floor lay the remains of a. mummy. torn fin pieces. Hardly crumb of the dried up meat still c1ung to the broken pieces of the skeleton. Two mummy cases were wide open and both empty. It would have taken a safe expert to open one of them from the outside, but the other would open easily. The first one could have been opened easily from the inside.

If you look up those papyri Rip- ley had you'll see that the bodies must have been buried exactly five thousand years previous to his murder. After five. thousand years they expected to be resurrected-
 Sure! thought you'd see it my way! The Egyptian was getting his revenge when Ripley tried to inter- fere. You see, the priests mliurny was missing altogether. He had es- caped into eternity."-Boston Record

PRIMARY RESULTS.

Far some time the primary has been
 on trial throughout many states and it has invariably brought forth a great
 number of objections inasrnuch as it
 has failed to accomplish what was intended. The result has been that
 the theory is admirable, but it has
 failed to work out in practice. It has not always resulted in the selec-
 ton of the best candidates, it has not
 brought out the voters and it has
 not overcome the widespread use of
 money or other influences considered
 detrimental under the old method.
 Concerning the primary held in
 Massachusetts, this week the Spring field Republican says: Those who
 stayed away from the polls have a
 large responsibility to bear. It is manifest to the wayfaring man that
 the primary method of making nom- nations will not be popuIarized by
 that which took place on Tuesday. People have come to feel that the new burdensome and this feeling will be increased and not lessened."
 There have been exhibitions of what the primary Is capable of in the way of making nominations by the results in Pennsy1vania and Illinois. It has not resulted in overcoming control any more than was possible in the crit icised methods of the past. That there should be nominated the best men who are fitted for the service is gen. orally recognized, but that cannot be accomplished without taking into full | consideration human weakness con- corning such matters. Indifference and l the possibilities which that permits l still remain to be overcome.

PAcIFYING MEXICO.

So near and yet So far is the rela- tion which peace bears to the Mex 4can republic at the present time. The withdrawal of Huerta and control by the constitutfonalists gave promise of much better things in that country. but the feeling which was manifested between Carranza and Villa some time ago has broadened into an open rup- fufe which threatens serious trouble at a most critical period.
 Mexico deserves all the harmonious action 1t can get, particularly by the leaders of the constitutionalist party. 7t requires it to prevent just, such a revolutionary uprising as Is now Threatened for until it Is able to &C., numplish its organization, hold an 11ect1on for the choice of a permanent Yresident and put into motion the re- Forms for which 1t stands and has been lighting, 1t cannot afford to let dis gension enter its ranks.
 It is about time there was 8 reali- Kafion of this by both Carranza and villa, if as they pretend they have the Interests of the country at heart. It ss a time when patriotism should be placed higher than personal likes and disliles- It is not series of revoIu- lions which the republic needs, but , peace, reformation and education and euch inability of the leaders for a > new government in Mexico to hold to- eether long enough to establish them 1nakes the future matter of much uncertainty. The stubborn Carranza and the impetuous Villa are capable of much harm or good to Mexico. Un- &or their present trend it can only be tho former.

 The unhappy queen spent the night before the ordeal in prayer at St. Swithin's tomb in the church. and the next day, after the proper ceremonies, she walked over the nine hot blow shares unhurt in the presence or the l1ing the nobility and the clergy, ac- cording to the reports. The fire, say the assumed chroniclers, was so lar from making any impression that after she had walked out of the church and had even trod upon ali the irons she asked when they intended to bring her to the test.
 When the king saw how his mother lad come safely through the ordeal, the story runs, he was terror stricken and falling on his knees he expressed his willingness to make reparation not only to his mother but also to the bishop of Winchester. To preserve the memory of the miracle, the plowshares were buried in the cloister of Win chester and one-and-twenty manors were settled upon the bishopric and church of Winchester, three of which were given by the king. nine by Queen Emma and as many by the bishop him. self.
 This trial by fire ordeal was not un- common in the time of Richard II and at an earlier period. In the ordeal one a | probation, and three served for a triple one. and none were to be present but such as were fasting. The litanies be- | ing said the priest began his abjuration at the finish of which holy water was given to all present to taste and sprinkle over the house. Then fol- lowed the trial by fire ordeal.
 There was another equally odd form of punishment known as the trial by scalding water. The accused was com | pelled to take a stone out of scaldfns | water After the hand was withdraw

FAMOUS TRIALS
TRIAL OF QUEEN EMMA.

The most remarkable trial ''by fire" recorded in English history is that Of Queen Emma This1ady was the daughter of Richard II. Duke of Nor mandy. She was married to Ethelred, King of England, and was the mother large share in the administration Of affairs during her sons reign, and had so considerable hn interest that Good win, Earl of Kent. who was chief min ister. was afraid of being eclipsed by her ascendancy.
 To get rid of this competition Gooi- win charged the queen mother with several crimes and getting some of the leading nohles to sanction his charges, the king, who was weak and over credulous man, made her a visit and seized her money and estates under pretense that she had enriched herself by avarice and injustice. She was then arrested on three charges: 1. That she consented to the death of her son Alfred.
 9. That she used her endeavor to prevent her son, the then king, from obtairing the crown.
 B. That she maintained a scandalous intercourse with Alwyne, bishop of Winchester.
 archbishop of Canterbury in conform ity with the kings direction, convened a synod to investigate the matter. The queen was not heard or in any way in- terrogated by the assembly, and she was found guilty. By way of punish ment the archbishop directed that Queen Emma. was to go on her bare hot, in the presence of the clergy and the people, in the cathedral church at Winchester, and if she receive no harm | in this trial she was to be reputed in-
