JUSTICE IN MONACO I wish I had leisure* to speak at length of this astonishing state, smaller than a French village, but where one finds an absoluta sover eign, bishops, an army of Jesuits ?nd divinity students more numer ous than that of the prince, an ar tillery thc ordnance o' which is al most rifled, an etiquette more elab orate than that of the late Louis XIV., principles of government more despotic than those of William of Prussia and, in addition to ali this, a magnificent toleration for the vices of humanity. On thc other hand, let us salute this virtuous, peacefully disposed king, wdio, fearing neither invasions nor revolutions, rules tranquilly over his happy little people in the midst of a court ceremonial in which is preserved intact the tradition of four reverences, twenty-six hand kissings and all the forms observed in a bygone era in the presence of great rulers. This monarch, above everything, is neither bloodthirsty nor revenge ful, and when ho banishes-for he <loes banish-tho sentence is carried out with infinite tact. Is it necessary to produce proofs of this? A pigheaded gambler after a day of bad luck insulted the sovereign. Ho was expelled from tho country by roj al decree. For a month he roamed around the forbidden paradise,! fearing the flaming sword of thc archangel in the shape of a gendarme's sabrr. Finally he ono day plucked up cour age, crossed the frontier, gained in .thirty seconds the heart of the coun try and entered the casino^ But suddenly an official stopped him. "Were you not banished, mon eieur ?" "Certainly I was, but I am going hack by the next train." I "Oh, in that case it is all right. tYou can enter, monsieur." And every week he returned, and on each 'occasion the same official put to him the same question, which ne answered'in the same fashion. But a few years ago a serious and entirely novel case arose in the prin cipality. A murder had been committed. A man, a native of Monaco, not one of the transient strangers of whom one meets legions, but a mar ried man, in a moment of passion ll,1 Lill-J 1-?- : ' * ?ldCi luiiuu iii? u lit;. He had killed her without reason, without any extenuating circum stances. This opinion was unani mous throughout the whole princi pality. The supreme court met to judge ?this exceptional case, for never be fore had murder been committed, and the wretch was condemned ?"0 (death. The outraged sovereign signed ithe death warrant. It only remained to execute the criminal. But here a difficulty pre sented itself. The country possessed ?neither executioner nor guillotine. f. What was to be done ? On the ?advice of the foreign minister the ?prince entered into negotiations ?with the French government to ob tain the loan of a remover of heads -and his apparatus. Long deliberations in tho minis terial office at Paris. Finely they replied and forwarded a minute of ?expenses for moving the guillotine land for the services of the expert. ?The total was 16,000 francs. His majesty of Mon?co thought [that the affair was going to cost him (pretty dear. The murderer assured ly was not worth so much money. [Sixteen thousand francs for the neck ?of a rascal 1 The devil 1 He then preferred the same re quest to the Italian government. A iking, a brother in-royalty, would doubtless not prove such a hard bar gainer as a republic. The Italian government sent' a .minuto of expenses which, amounted ?to12,000 francs. " ? 'Twelve thousand francs ! Why, it would be necessary to impose a new tax, a tax of 2 francs a head on the inhabitants. That would be enough j to stir up unknown trouble in the state. He contemplated decapitating the j truffian by an ordinary soldier. tBnt_ [the general, on berner consisted,' waa doubtful whether any of his men [had had sufficient sword practice to j ?acquit himself satisfactorily of a ttaslc demanding great experience in {handling the weapon. Sb the prince again convened the (supreme court and submitted to them this embarrassing position of taff airs. The court sat a long time with out discovering any practical s?lu {Upn. At last the president suggest ed commuting the death sentence (into one of imprisonment for life, .and the. suggestion was adopted. But they had no prison. It was ??eeseary .to improvise one. A jail er Was oleo commissioned who took : charge of tho prisoner. For. ?ix months everything went i WOUv The eonviot slept all day onV Mattress.in Ms hut, and his guard did I tho carno on a chair just inside the [ <t??or facing tho passersby. But the prince is ?coaom?ea?-it o?a \ Mttyivii fault?-and requires the de l. tiyiiA of -the ^B>g!l^i|V^?p9p"??^M?^?. \ iflourred throughout bia dominions^ Among theVa were Rafted , befot o hbo.' the items of the disbursements relating ?o the creation of a new . ellice, Hit maintenance of the pris on, prisoner mid jailer. Thc outlay on tia last was ^ heavy druin on tho royal purse. His face lengthened visibly, and when lie considered it might last forever, for the condemned man was still young, he insisted on his min ister of justice taking measures to suppress this expense. The minister held a consultation with the president of the tribunal, and tho two agreed that the office of jailer might be abolished. The prisoner, required io guard himself all alone, would not fail to escape, and this would solve the question to the satisfaction of all. The jailer was thereupon sent back to his family, and one of the under cooks of the palace was sim ply required to carry, morning and evening, food to the prisoner. But that gentleman made no attempt to recover his liberty. Ono day indeed when they had failed ?to provide him with nourish ment bc coolly presented himself to claim lt. and henceforth it was his custom, in order to save the cook a journey, to come at meal hours and eat willi the servants of the palace, with wQiom he had become friendly. After breakfast he would take a stroll as far as Monte Carlo. Oc casional!}' he would enter the casino and risk a few francs at play. When he woilhe would treat himself to a good dinner at one of the leading hotels, alien he would return to his prison Ipr.d carefully lock the door from tao inside. He uiver slept out a single night. The nutation was becoming diffi cult, nat for the condemned man, but foribis judges. Once|r.;ore the court assembled, and it wp decided that they should invite tnt criminal to-depart from the stats of Monaco. On tims decision being communi cated to tim he merely replied: "I pcroo ve you are joking. Come, now. should I go away, I, in deed ? BJi.ve no means of living. I have no Bulger any family.

Ho Takes Precedence of Even ?ho Sov ereign Within tho City. The lord mayor of London is a very important personage. He takes j precedence vjt only of all peers, but of the reigning sovereign within the j precincts of the city. He has tho right of private audience with the monarch nnd as a privy councilor is summoned on the death of Eng- ? land's ruler. To become lord mayor he must have previously served as an alderman. If oa election he re fuses the civic choir he has to pay a fine of ?1,000. No one is chosen who has any blot on his private character, and in caso of bankrupt cy or compounding with creditors an alderman is parsed over until he j has paid 20 shillings in the pound to his creditors. The election of mayor is subject iff thc approval of tho crown, and ? if any public fast is ordered by the : sovereign thc mayor and corporation attend St. Paul's cathedral in black i robes. Thc lord mayor has tho badges of royalty attached to his of- I fice in the scepter, tho swords of : justice and mercy and the mace, j Tim gold chain which ho wears is ! one of tho most ancient honorary distinctions and can be traced to j eastern origin and manner of con ferring dignity, instances of which we find in the Old Testament. Formerly the mayors during their term of oflice used to reside in their own private houses, which in past days were always in the city itself and therefore within easy access of the Guildhall. Now the Mansion House is set apart for the lord may or's residence for tho year. Tho Mansion House is nn extensive es tablishment and cost, with its fur niture, ?71,000. Tho annual expenses connected with the oflice amount to about ?25,000, of which about ?10,000 is the sum allowed by the corporation, the remainder coming out of the mayor o private purse.-St. James j Gazette. No Moro Royal Vetoes. Since 1708 tho veto has never been used in England. Queen Anne soon after got the majority of par liament in accord with her personal predilections. The first two Georges were shrewd enough-for they were anything but the fools that it is fashionable to call them-to put themselves completely in the hands of a parliamentary majority. George II. and his two sons, though they frequently attempted and not sel dom succeeded in influencing and even in reversing legislation, found easier ways of doing so than by refusing their assent to bills passed hy both houses. But the sturdy Tories, with ex-Lord Chancellor El don at their head, really hoped George IV. might veto the Catholic emancipation bill of 1829, and he probably would have if he had not stood in mortal terror of the Duke of Wellington. Since then scarcely any ono has talked about the royal veto.-Pro fessor William Everett in Atlantic. Invention of Billiard?. Billiards is comparatively a mod ern game. According to some let ters discovered in the British mu seum, the game was invented by a London pawnbroker named William Kew. One-day, to amuse himself, he took the three round bails which were the emblems of his trade and, placing them on his counter, began to hit them about with the yard measure. He became quite interested in his new game and soon gained great skill in making one ball glance off the other. He invited his friends to join him in the game, which they nanu-1 "Bill's yard" and which was soon shortened into hilliards. But tho instrument used to knock the balls about , was a yard measure, and so to get out of the difficulty they called it after the name of the pawnbroker, t} Kew, which in course of time became cue. Cruel Man. The little woman was weeping. Her hair was becoming ruffled up, and her nose was unbecomingly red. "What is it, dear?" asked the 'friend who has been married a lon fer time.

CATCHING RED FOXES. Ingenious Method Pursued by an Oki : Maine Trapper. There is no animal in the Maiue ! woods possessed with more cunning I than tho red fox. The slyness of > these animals has passed into a I proverb, "as sly as a fox" being a term often hoard. There aro many different ways to catch reynard, but there is one old trupper in the forests of Maine who j {?erl! a ps stands ut tho head of the , ist in catching foxes. Ile has a manner of catching theso animals which ho calls his ''secret," a plan which he learned when a boy in Ver mont and has successfully used for the last twenty years. Fox skins or pelts bring a good price, and from the beginning of cool weather in October throughout the winter the hides are in line con- ? dition. Steel trap?, bait and many | different things are used by different trappers in catching foxes, but this old trappers "secret" stands at tho top. His manner of procedure when after tho little red dogs is some what as follows: In a part of the woods which is known to be inhabit ed by foxes-and they can bo found in nearly all sections of Maine-this trapper, with a steel trap, some cat meat, if it can be procured, and some skunk musk, proceeds to set Iiis snares. Cat meat makes tho best bait, but other meat-a piece of beef-will do. Going up a brook, wading with rubber boots, so that no scent will be left, ho makes a small drain or canal from the brook into which the water will How. This little canal is always dug out with a stick, BO that the hands do not como into contact with thc earth, and no smell of a human being is left. A small stock is then set upright in the mid* die of the stream ?r little canal, thc point being an inch or so under the water, and the bait is put on that, so that it looks as if resting on tho water. As this necessarily has to be handled, a small amount of skunk musk is put on it so that no scent is left. The steel trap is then sunk un der water where the canal, or if it is tho brook proper, is but a few inches deep. On the plate of the trap, where an animal has to step io be caught, is put a small sod, which lies half in and half out of the water, as if it were a small is land. This is but a few inches from the bait on tho stick. The result is plainly seen. No animal will wet its feet if there is dry land to st pp on, and Sir Rey nard, coming after the meat resting so temptingly on tho water, steps on thc little island or mound to get it and is lost. A trap of this kind is never fas tened down, as an animal will tear itself loose oftentimes if securely held. A fair sized stick is attached by a rope or chain to the trap, and the fox cannot drag it far, as it catches on all of the trees, bushes or whatever is in the way.-Bangor Commercial. No Key Needed. Hero is a story which has not been vouched for: A traveling man showed a watch, to a friend in cen tral Missouri the other day which, he said, was over 100 years old. "My grandfather bought this watch when he was a boy," tho traveling man said. "Ono day when he was in a tree getting some apples tho watch slipped from his pocket and was swallowed by a calf. When the calf was killed, three years later, tho watch was recovered and was found to be still going. It is supposed that the watch lodged in the calf's throat, and tho action o? the mus cles when tho animal swallowed wound it up. The watch lost ju3t three seconds in the three years that it was in the calf's throat." Kansas City Star. ; Traced to Its Source. Jn his hours of relaxation Mr. Jones is fond of wondering about the source of the familiar sayings ho comes upon in his evening paper. , "I wonder," he began musingly one rainy night, "where 'it is the un elected that happens' originated ?" Mrs. Jones did not often follow her husband-in his questionings, but that afternoon she had been tempt ed abroad by a delusivo weather prognostication of "fair, with west erly winds," and the thought of her wet hat and hoots had quickened her understanding. "At the meteorological office, I guess 1" she snapped. London Sparrows. ' In London, there is a huge army of cats which subsist almost entire ly upon sparrows. The London sparrow migrates in the autumn to tn? cornfields, where it does its level best to destroy our bread . supply, but during spring and summer the London cats hare been working hard among the inexperienced baby sparrows, for the old birds do not often get captured, and a very large proportion of each year's brood nev er sees the country.-Manchester Guardian. ;.-j --'Some women peem to think their husbands should pay them a regular salary for running their houses, but the trouble is they don't leave any money to do it with. -- One man can lead a woman to thought, but a thousand cannot make her think. - Generally it is the man that leaves rubbish on the sidewalk to trip up people that damns tho railroads for their laok of 'consideration for the publi?. CHIMESE ANATOMY. t Puto Fire, Vyood, Water, Earth and Metal In Mail's Body. No Chinese representative of the healing ort ever dissected any por tion of the human frame. Accord ingly their ideas of anatomy and physiology arc matters of faith, i m lirmcd by images which have been reproduced during untold centuries. 'Their osteology teaches that tho skull is formed of one bone. So is the pelvis. The number of ribs va ries with the individual, and at tho junction of the arin with the fore arm is placed a cubital patella. According to (.'hi?ese splnncholo gy, thc small intestine cc*Mnuni eates with the cavity cf the heart, while the colon, after describing six teen circumvolutions^, terminates by opening into tho lung. The heart governs the vital processes. In co operation with the cavity of tho stomach it supplies all ideas and all pleasurable sensations. The li\er is tho habitat of the soul, and it is from this gland that all noble and generous sentiments emanate. Thc gall bladder is the receptacle of courage. Its ascent in the body is the cause of a lit of anger. They have an idea of the continuous mo tion of the blood, hut it seems lo be the product of an imagination more riotously oriental than even that which created thc other items of their physiologie knowledge. They do not know the pulmonary circula tion. They naturally know noth ing of the valves in tho veins. They do not even appear to have quite grasped the motor function of tho heart itself, but they nevertheless profess to differentiate no less than seventy-four varieties of pulse-si multaneously recognizable on thc person of a single individual! In its ultimate structure tho hody is composed of live elements-lire, wa ter, earth, wood and metal. Knell of these elements is in harmonious rapport with the corresponding members of thc series of five plan ets, live metals, live solid viscera, five colors and live tastes. All dis eases originate from disturbances of tho primary and essential quintic harmonies of these correlations. American Medicine. A Shower In Somaliland. An English lady traveling with her husband in Somaliland teils the following story of a thunder show er and the visitors it brought: "Os car Grat and his men had come to thc zeriba to pay an afternoon call and, having on their best togas, did not care to got wet, GO came and sat under the fly of our tent. They each brought a handful of spears and shields and, huddled together in tho cramped space, alternately prodded each other or put a spearhead through tho canvas roof. Thc storm lasted nerrly an hour, and, when, the first gleam of light appeared all ran with wild shouts to the dusty track whence we had come, hut which was now a rushing river. All tho casks and skins were filled, to the accom paniment of weird songs, and then the ponies, sheep and camels-these last had had no water for seven days -i-werc brought down to drink." Had Time to Rest. Mr. Choate, the ambassador of tho United States at London, tells a story of a sculling match that took place between nn Englishman, a stu dent of Oxford, and an Irishman, a student of Cambridge. Tho Briton won handily. At no time was he in danger of defeat. Moreover, in a spirit of fun and bravado he had stopped two or threo times in Iiis course and had bidden the Irishman in the rear to "hurry up." After the race the Irishman carno in for a good deal of chaff in view of thc overwhelming defeat ho had suffered. But lie merely shrugged his shoulders. "Faith," ho said, "if I had had the long rests that ho took I could have beaten him easily." Cures Blood, Skin Troubles, Cancer, and Blood Foison-Greatest Blood Purifier Fres.
