MAYBRICK'S TO INHABIT.Most Famous Murder Trial ia the Last Quarter of the Nineteenth OCentury\u2014 Stery of the Case Which Ought Meve- afier to Be Buried\u2014The Fameus Trial \u2014ureat Petitions for Her Release.Florence Maybrick, after having served nearly fifteen years im prison for the murder of her husband, James Maybrick, is a free woman.The earth is dgain hers to inhabit.Sunshine, the winds, trees, and the sea are words which must now take on a new meaning for her.Perfect liberty as one understands it who has never risen to the bad eminence attained by Mrs.Maybrick can never be known to her again.Wherever she goes she is marked.\u2018There goes Mrs, Maybrick,\u201d whispered excitedly wherever she is known, will bind her to the past as with fetters.Officially, it is probable that in a few weeks she will be as free as the air, At present she is out of Aylesbury Female Convict Prison on ticket-of- leave.At regular intervals she must appear before some police official and give an account of herself.Failing in this, she may be rearrested.She has also been restrained from ap- Pearing on the stage, or from writing a book gn her case, or otherwise drawing upon herself any more at- ' tention than it is possible to avoid, | Such a prohibition was placed upon Frank James gnd one of the Younger brothers, notorious Western desperadoes who paid the penalty of their misdeeds, and are now earning honest livelihoods.The British Government has given Mrs.Maybrick her liberty.Let her quietly accept the boon, and withdraw herself from the world's stage.Years ago she played her part out.They want to hear and sce no more of her.The Knd of the Case.It is to be hoped that the end of Mrs.Maybrick's imprisonment will also be the end of the case which was the most famous murder trial of the last quarter of the nineteenth century.lt has been discussed pretty steadily ever since James Maybrick was found dead in his Liverpool home one day in 1889.Only too often have these discussions been bitter in the extreme.At one time, indeed, they had provoked a spirit in the United States which was in favor of a quarrcl with Britain.In the United States the responsible journals abandoned the subject years ago, convinced that no good purpose could be served by commenting on it, but among less scrupulous newspapers the case has been a stock topic at all times.When it was announced last March that British justice was almost through with Mrs.Maybrick, there was a flood of articles.Later on both Ambassador Choate and Secretary Hay announced that they knew nothing of the British Government's intention, and further, that they were making no efforts on Mrs.Maybrick's behalf.This was the signal for more May- brick hysteria.A writer in the Buffalo Times excelled his contemporaries in the intemperance of his remarks.As had been done often before, this gentleman\u2014a Mr.Thorn\u2014 made the case a peg on which to hang a skein of arguments showing that the British Government was rotten to the core, that the late Queen Victoria was personally .spiteful against Mrs.Maybrick, and that King Edward should abdicate.We fear that Mr.Thorn's egotism may cause him to cherish the hallucination that he has rescued Mrs.May- brick, Mazbriek and His Wife.While it is probable that the great question of Mrs.Maybrick\u2019s guilt or Innocence will never be so plainly established that everyone will be of one mind on it, there are many facts which have not been disputed.That Mrs.Maybrick was an unfaithful wife is one of these.That the man she betrayed was a brute seems equally sure.Evidence was presented showing that Maybrick was not above using his fists on the woman he had sworn to love and cherish.He had blackened her eycs, and ordered her out of the house.Then, when she wes going, he weakened and would not let her go.Maybrick, as may be imagined, did mot beat his wife as a means of taking exercise.He was fealous of a man named Brierly, end subsequent events showed that his suspicious were well founded.Wheth- or Mrs, Maybrick consoled herself with Drierly because her husband ili- used her, or whether her offence led to the other's brutality, is a vexed question.Violent sccnes wers common in the household, the two children which had been born to the couple seeming to have no restraining influence with either father or mother.Then, suddenly, Maybrick died.The doctor gave a death certificate, and he wa# buried.The gossip of a servant fell on official cars.There was an investigation, The body was exhumed and examined, and Mrs.Maybrick was arrested.The Famous Triat.Then began the famous trial which marphulled the greatest lawyers in England.Sir Charles Russeil, afterwards Lord Chief, Justice, defended Mrs.Maybrick.The trial judge was Sir Fitzjames Stephen.For weeks ' the legal battle raged, with the result that those facts wore established: Arsenic had becn found in May- brick\u2019's sto , arsenic also had been found in the house; Mrs.May- brick, an unfaithful wife, had once tried to give her husband some broth which contained arsenic; Maybrick Was an arsenic-eater; he was proved asserted that there was not enough arbenic in the dend man's stomach to have cauméd his death, and that there was mo proof that \u2018even this insufficient quantity hb | been administered by his.wife, Ab, ter the

passed.The scafiold was erected.Tes Great l\u2019etitions, Then, for the first time, the fuli meaning of the verdict dawned on Mrs.Maybrick's friends in kmzland and the United States.In the former country the consensus of opinion was against her, but in hor native land she was regarded as a martyr.The most largely signed pctitions of modern times were circulated.They bore signatures of some of the most distinguished American families, names great in the history of art, literature, science, politics, and the Church.\u2018They were poured in on the English Home Secretary, and, unable to resist the pressure, he compromised by substituting imprison ment for life for the death scntence For all practical purposes, Mrs Maybrick has served her sentence British justice is satisfied, and now, as best she may, she can gather up the broken pieces of her life.NOT WORTHY OF SCOTLAND.Sir Charies Valryupie, M.P., en the Posi- tou of ~cetland.In the course of an address at In- veresk the other day, Sir Charles | Dalrymple, M.P., said that he had, ' personally, from time to time, resented the old and almost profane remark that a Scotchman is one everything cise ho can lay his hands upon.He was not quite sure but that he was inclined to atlirm the saying.It is an excellent thing when they could see a Scotchman in these very much changed days who kept the Sabbath, and he thought a Scotchman had a perfect right to keep what he got his hands upon\u2014if it belonged to him.(Laughter.) As Scotsmen they ought to hold together, but he sometimes thought that Scottish people were ncedlessly touchy.They fancied themselves attacked and fancied encroachments from England when none were intended.They had only to think of the positions held by Scotsmen in the affairs of the nation and wherever British rule extended, and in many places where British rule did not extend.Scotsmen had stamped their customs, methods and individuality on all that concerned the British Empire, and from the east and from the west, and from the north and from the south people came to Scotland, drawn to the various sacred shrines\u2014shrines of natural beauty, of poetical memories, of literary and historical meaning.If they were not the predominant partner in point of numbers, he ventured to say that they were equally as predominant as any other in force of character, in education, in commercial activity, and in gen eral science.There was no room for touchiness, for touchiness was foreign to greatness\u2014touchiness was a note of smallness and was not worthy of Scotland.(Applause.) Some Fearful Figures.Mr.Stead, as a journalist, has an unfailing scent for the interesting contrast, the startling table of statistics, says The London Chronicle.And having noticed that one news- aper had organized a census of ondon\u2019s church-going population, he inaugurated his new \u2018Daily Paper\u2019 with a census of the Sundav frequenters of the public house.Paddington is selected as a typical Bistrict; and the resultant figures will surprise many who have gone through life with eyes shut and ima- kining that formal Christianity has a real hold upon the lower middle classes.To put the case boldly and toughly.there are 142,600 people lo Paddington.Of these 31,331 were tound at church, chapel or meoting- hall.and 122,175 were found in publie houses.Froip the fact that the men in public houses exceeded by fore than twenty thousand the male residents of Paddington, we must infer that many paid more than one visit.Women in church are more than twice as numerous as men; of 81,625 there were found 28.118 visitants to licensed premises.But even these figures nced not hurry us into hysterics.much as we mav regret the comparative failure of the Church to attract Paddington.The public house is often the only place where friends can meet.The real sting of the tale comes with the children under fiftcon vears of age: for of these less than seven thou- band were in church.and more than ten thousand were found entering the public house, A Leaf far a Tent.What trees bear the largest leav An English botanist tells us that te is those that belong to the palm family.First must be mentioned the inaja palm, of the banks of the Ama- ton, the leaves of which are no less than fifty feet in length by ten to twelve in width.Certain leaves of the Ceylon palm attain a length of twenty fect and the remarkable width of sixteen.The natives use them for making tents.Aft Y comes the cocoanut palm, the usuel length of whose leaves is about thirty feet.The umbrella magnolia of bears leaves that are so largo that a single ono may sometimes serve as a shelter OF twenty personas.vr fifteen ~The Werld\u2019s Oral arca I about 4,650,000 square miles in the world China is credited with 4,000,- 000 square miles: The United Statcs has about 280,000 uare miles: reat Dritain, 11.900 \u2018mites: Gor.many, 1,770 miles: France, 2,088 fofles, and.Dolgium, 610 square Arca in not, Rowaver, a true measure of value.° The anthracite fields of Pennsylvania include ain area of only 468 square milés, but those are uadoubletdix vf more vaite than ae RU The Captain Vested With Absolute Power Over Passengers and Crew\u2014Becponsi- bilities of the Chief Kngianoer\u2014A Fleat- ing Oitg\u2014Administration of Vessel Is Divided Inte Ihrve Wopartments\u2014A Large Stat One of the most remarkable things about the modern ocean liner is the fact that while at sca she gives em- pioyment to between 800 and 50V people.It might seem incredible that any vessel, even one capable of carrying from 1,500 to 2,000 pas- songers, could keep so many men oc- | cupied, but it is true that a full jcount of the officers and crew on any one of the modern Atlantic steamships will .give at least the former figure, while on the biggest and most famous ships, such ag the Oceanic, Cedric and St.Louis, it falls not far short of the latter.To begin with the organization of the ship's company from the top.there is first of all the captain.He is the absolute master of the ship and of all on board, with direct responsibility for her safety to her owners and to the traveling public al large.He has control of the ship's navigation and of her internal aflairs as well, and he is privileged THE CAPTAIN AT MIS POST ON TNE BRIDGE.to clap a member of the crew ora passenger who does not behave himself into irons if he deems it necessary.Perhaps nowhere else can one find an example of such absoluto and despotic power as the ship captain may wield if occasion requires.Under the captain the administra tion of the big vessel is divided among three departments.The first of these is the deck department, which has charge of the navigation of the vessel; the second is the engineer\u2019s department, devoted to op- crating the boilers and engines, the power producing branch of the steamship; the third is the passenger department, presided over by the purser and the chief steward and having for its chief function to look after the comfort of the travelers for whom tho great ship and her elaborate staff primarily exist.In the deck department are various officers, usuaily the chief officer or first officer, second and junior second, third and junior or third officers.The chief ofticer is the captain\u2019s assistant.He relieves the latter on the bridge, takes his place in the daily inspection of the ship and has charge particularly over the cleanliness of the ship, seeing to it that every part is in spick and span order.The second officers take turns at standing watch on the and auperintending the decks, while the junior officers, as the thirds are called, are employed in the steering of the vessel, one of them being constantly engaged in this work, with the assistance of the quartermas- Lers.Then a number of petty officers is to be noted in the deck department, such as the quartermasters, who perform the actual work of steering the ship; the chief boatswain and his assistants, who look after the rigging and deck cquipment, and tho carpenter, who is responsible for the good order of the spars, boats, water tanks and decks and who inspects these and also the masts, yards and pumps twice each day.Besides these officers, there are the ordinary seamen, who perform all sorts of duties, from working the deck machinery to scrubbing the decks and rails to keep them in shining order At the head of the ongino department is the chief engineer, who has as assistant officers what are known as first, second and third engineers.Next to the captain\u2019s post the chief engineer's is the most responsible position in the operation of the liner, and the engineer has under him a great number of workers\u2014the trimmers, who bring the coal from Lhe bunkers to the fire rooms; the stokers, who fced it into the always hungry furnaces, and the greasers, who keep the engine parts clean and well olled.There are also a number of men who look after the pumps, the blowers and the electrical plant.which is un the chiet 4 \u2019 supervision.cRgincer's Jn the passenger department there aro tWo very Important officers, one ofy these being the purser, the man with whom the passengers come into contact most i.largely responaible for the y or unpopularity of the ship, The other prineipul \u2018officer in Tht department i# the chief bteward, Who cxercises .authority over - a .email army of stateroom stewards, stewards, stew , , e lions, storekeopers ' ott atk, and: who \u2018solveta She \u201cand : opu- SUP, COMPANY 7 bridge ! frequently and who | saloon |.wil work a permanent cure for Spavins, R , 8p inte, \u2018'urbe.»tc.und a Pare of Inbcnes crea thor ~ tno of comes nnuaty, Such eudoreme by as tie ui ullowing arva gudrantec of merit, ue Cured twe Bone Spavins of Ton Years\u2019 Standing, Frlrile, NY Dr.BL Brad Cao, Won taten © th 1% vanoved then entirely, 1 Ne fa.no Yone Hp wins, Eh las Bodin hin érons birth, and were Thea w haseu cas of 8 mare that wag h a Litkdya, and am BOW to ig with vour Spavin Cure, vi hrcerupiete (re.ae vo bmeacopys fy e ise on the H ree an hig Piss\u201d Yous vey truly, CLARK ¢ FORT, Price \u20181: 812 for !& As finiment for fapyity We Bk mr eal ASK voue amuçulst for Kendaite ymyzin Cure.atso \u201ca Gatise vn the Horse te bois free, oraditress .DR.B.J.KENDALL CO.Enosbure Fatis, vi, \u2014\u2014 \u2014 FOR SALE.20 tons good hay on the J.B.Dolloff Fitch Bay.will be scld right for nee \u2018arm 1 18t£ R.É.NÉREILL, Oliver, Que, FOR SERVICE.A registered Tamworth Boar.Terms $.100.A.A.GUSTIN, Fitch Bay, Que, BOSTON & MAINE RAILROAD, Stanstead & Derby Line Branch WINTER ARRANGEMENT.In Effect Monday, October 12th, 1003, TRAINS LEAVE STANSTEAD: For North\u20145.31 a.m., 1.08 and 6.89 p.m.For South\u20146.09 and 11.88 a.m., 10.20 p.m.TRAINS ARRIVE AT STANSTEAD: From South\u20148.02 a.m., 1.84 and 7.10 p.m.From North\u20148.40 a.m., 12.07 and 10.55 p.m.TRAINS LEAVE ROCK ISLAND AND DERBY LINE: 3.35 a.m.for Sherbrooke, Montreal (G.T.)

stopping every now and then to wind in some little present.The nicest or most expensive gift should be placed in the center, while tiny boxes of pure chocolates may be only partially concealed pear

candy she gives to her children can know whether they are eating pure sweets or not by soaking a bit of the candy in clear cold water.If there is a sedl- ment in the bottom of the glass the presence

stylish section during the days of the elder John Boyle, who came to this country in the early years of the nineteenth century.Tbe record is not clear as to why the house was constructed without a staircase, but there is no doubt about the fact.GLOVES IN EARLY DAYS, They Were Often Made te Represent the Man Whe Wore Them.In the early days everything was not regulated for the people, as it is now, Ly the government and the law courts.Europe was still young then, and people had rough and ready means of dealing with one another, of buying and sclling or giving goods and property aud settling disputes.A glove, as it was very close indeed to a man\u2019s band, : came in course of time to be looked household and worried over this bill Upon as taking the place of the hand itself, and sometimes took the man's blace and was made to represent him.For example, to open a fair it was uccessary then to have the consent and protection of the great lord in whose country it was going to be held.Those who wished to open the fair would come to the nobleman and petition him to be present.He might be very busy, or bored at the idea of having to go, yet : Le would know that it must be opened or his people would be discontented.So he would say to the leaders of the , my glove to do it.* country.people: \u201cNo, my trusty fellows, I can\u2019t open the fair in person, but I will send You all know my Nobody has one like it in the It is the one my lady mother glove.| embroidered for me in colored silks and silver wire, and it has a deep violet fringe.You can hang it above the entrance of your fair grounds as a sign that you are acting with my permission.If any one disputes your right or touches his master\u2019s glove I will attend to him; that's all!\u201d So the glove would travel in state to open the fair.\u2014St.Nicholas.Old Time Carving Terma.In an old number of a magazine Issued more than a century ago we lighted upon a list of different terms used at \u201ctables of elegance\u201d in the days when Queen Charlotte came as the bride of the young and handsome king.From this list it would appear that nothing in the way of game was to be carved.The correct phrase was to \u201ccut up\u201d a turkey, to \u201crear\u201d a goose, to \u201cunlace\u201d a hare or rabbit, to \u201cwing\u201d a partridge or a quail, to \u201callay\u201d a pheasant, to \u201cdismember\u201d a heron, to \u201cthigh\u201d a woodcock, to \u201cdisplay\u201d a crane and to \u201clift\u201d a swan.Beef and mutton were \u201ccarved,\u201d of course, and the sporting men prided themselves by using appropriate sporting terms.when the spoil of their morning\u2019s work made its final appearance on tbe table.\u2014Mod- ern Society.Our Double Selves.In a form of experience which is almost as common as ordinary dreaming we see that the semisomnolent self possesses a faculty not always given to the waking self.Compared with my own waking self, for instance, my half asleep self is almost a personality of genius.He can create visions that the waking self can remember but cannot originate and cannot trace to any memory of waking impressions.These apparently trivial things thus point to the existence of almost wholly submerged potentialities in a mind se everyday, commonplace and, so to speak, super ficial as mine.All 1a the Expression.Hamfatte\u2014When

part of the last century, was taking supper ene avening with the Prince of Baden and ethers, among them a Count Lowenbjelm.Sud deniy, halfway through the supper, the king let drop his knife and fork and, turning to Lowenhjelm, said, \u201cLook! Don\u2019t you see?\u2019 at the same time gas ing across the table.No one under stood what he meant, and so be dropped the subject.Later, after the Prince of Baden had departed, the king said to his

Capitulates.You will not find everything in southern California.You will miss the wide far removed from the dusty cities, the Doble trees, the clear streams of water, the blue lake nestled in among the pine clad mountains.You will miss that splendid miracle the change of the seasons, when your whole nature comes into closer touch with the great mother heart of nature than at any other time in all the year.| You will miss much.But when you have been here a year, when month after month of rare and beautiful , weather blend into each other, when the sea wooes you and the flowerscharm ! you and the brown mountains beckon you and the soft alr soothes you, after \u2018a year has passed you find there are some compensations for the lovely things you have left bebind you.You come to realize that nature bas done more for this stretch of sea and mountain girt land than she has done for \u2018any other spot on the globe.| You may bave been charmed with California when you came, you may ,bave been captivated after you had been here a year, you may capitulate \u2018and consent to be captured by the time two golden summers bave stolen over you.Hot Water.Cold blooded people, who have little thirst, will do well to make a business of drinking a certain amount of hot | water every day throughout the win- ; ter season.It lessens the tendency to take cold, improves the circulation and benefits coughs and Insomnia.| Before going to bed is a very good time for this practice, as it warms up : And relaxes the system, thus preparing the way for a good night's sleep.Many cases of indigestion.bendache, neuralgia, cold hands and feet, can be i cured in balf an hour by drinking slow- \u2018ly one or two pints of water so hot \u2018that it almost burns the throat.\u2014Med- ical

with a little moral attached.One founded on the weather tends to comfort a person Who has been badly treated: \u201cNow it is wet, now it is fine, A day will come for retaliation.\u201d Then, again, of lovers they say, \u201cAs the ow! sighs longingly for the moon.\u201d A young and pretty bride they speak of as being \u201clike a sarong not yet unfolded,\u201d an apt illustration when one thinks

) How 3 Worked 30 Way Inte the The word \u201cmob\u201d is an abbrevistion.It is nothing but a fragment of the full Latin origina) \u201cmobile vulgus\u201d \u2014 \u201cthe fickle commen people.\u201d First the wenn \u201cvulgus\u201d was dropped.\u201cMobile,\u201d coming into common use, was in a few years cut down to \u201cmob.\u201d By Swift it was abominated to his dying day as a peculiarly odious kind of slang.Adds son sympathized with this feeling.In No.183 of the Bpectator \u201cmob\u201d is put down by him as one of the ridiculous words which he fears will in time be looked upon as part of the speech.There must have been then a host of minor defenders of the purity of our tongue who bewalled its increasing use and pointed to that fact as evidence of the growing degeneracy of the language.But the assailed form stoutly held its ground and outlived its len.surers.Addison's fears have been realised.The abbreviation has thoroughly established itself.Accordingly a word which their predecessors stigmatized as a corruption of the vilest kind is now used unhesitatingly by the most precise of modern jurists.The reason of its prevalence is obvious.It came to supply a very genuine want.There is no other single word that conveys , definitely the idea of a particular sort of riotous assemblage.\u2014Harper's.BY HOOK OR BY CROOK.An Ancient Phrase That Has Meany Phases ef Menning.The phrase \u201cby hook or by crook\u201d may simply refer to an ancient custom wbich allowed persons to collect | for fuel dead wood in the king\u2019s forest \u2018 such as they could break off and remove with \u201ccart, hook and crook.\u201d Some trace its significance \u201cby foul means or by fair\u201d to the contrasted uses of the footpad's hook or the bishop's crook.| Others remind us of the expression in very early days \u201cby huke o'er krooke\u201d\u2014that is, by bending the knees and cringing low.| Another plausible explanation is that after the great fire of London disputes as te ownership of land were settled by two surveyors whose names were Hook and Crook.| Quite different is the view taken by those who tell us that when Strong- bow sailed for Ireland he instructed bis men to make their attack by Hook, a promontory northeast of Waterford, or by Crook, a harbor on the south coast.| - In any case, the phrase is very old, for it was used by Bacon (1550), by , Skelton, the poet laureate (1500), and |by Chaucer nearly 600 years ago\u2014 Pearson\u2019s.| LUNAR SCENERY.Its Appearance Proves the Moon's Lack ef Air and Water.| It is by indirect methods of observation that sclentists learn of the absence of atmosphere in the moon.There are various arguments that can , be adduced, but the most conclusive is i that obtained, on the occurrence of | what 1s called the occultation of a \u2018star.It sometimes happens that the moon comes directly between the earth | and a star, and the temporary extinction of the latter is an occultation, We can observe the movement when it takes place, and the suddenness of the extinction of the star is extremely remarkable.If the moon had a copious atmosphere, the gradual interposition of this would produce a gradual ex- , tinction of the star and not the sudden phenomenon usually observed.This absence of air and water from the moon explains the peculiar and weird ruggedness of the lunar scenery.We know that on the earth the action of the wind and of rain, of frost and of snow is constantly tending to wear down our mountains and reduce their bard outlines, but no such agents are at work upon the moon.A Typical Bonaparte.Princess Mathilde was a typical Bonaparte.Beneath the skin of a grande dame there dwelt the soul of a vivandiere, She was generous and tempestuous.Bomething of a butt in her prime, as a certain rather pro nounced passage in Lord Malmesbury\u2019s reminiscences shows, she was uni versally admitted at the same time to possess taste and a knowledge of the arts.It was to ber credit, too, that she cared not a snap of her fingers for dynastic disputes, She was on the friendliest of terms with the Duc d'Au- male and is said to have tried, but in vain, to conciliate some of the stiffer branches of the puezle headed Bourbon family.Altogether, she was a woman who lived every moment of ber life.London Outlook.1s Brute Creation Wiser?Every living bird and
