An extraordinary murder trial, in which the defence to a charge of husband poisoning was that the poison fell from the rafters of the roof, has taken place at the Ulster assizes. By acquitting the accus- ed, the jury accepted the plea put forward on her behalf. The pris- oner was Elizabeth Kirkwood Doch- erty, who was indicted for the mur- der of her husband near Dally- onoy, county Antrim, last June. NO HUMAN HAND. he solicitor -general, prosecut- ng, said the deceased, who was a farmer, died of strychnine poison, administered to him at his supper, which was prepared by the prison- er. He would, counsel declared, satisfy the jury that no human hand was laid upon au egg which contained the poison from the mo- ment it was broken in the pan until it was eaten except that of the ac- cused. Death occurred the follow- ing morning. A week later one of the prison- er's daughters, aged three years, also died from strychnine poison, which had been taken in milk. Tho husband's remains were exhurned c after this second death and an an- alyst would give evidence that the stomachs of both deceased con- tained from half to a grain of stry- chnine. Accused had been in an asylum, but it was not contended she was insane at the time of the deaths. FELL THROUGH FLOOR. In concluding his statement the solicitor -general intimated that the defence would be that some strych- nine placed on the floor of the loft immediately above the kitchen for the purpose of destroying rats had fallen through the rafters on to the egg as it waeing removed from the fire to OW table. The crown contended that this accident could Illkir not have occurred. but that the prisoner's hand had placed the poi- son in the egg. Evidence was then taken. Counsel for the defence said his case was that the poison had fallen from the loft above the kitchen through the rafters and accidental- ly dropped on an egg, portions of which prisoner had also eaten. Her husband. before he died, had ex- pressed this view. and as he had acquitted her Ito (counsel) was surd the jury would do likewise. The jury found the accused not guilty and she was discharged.

Beholds the fowls of the air; for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into bar ns. yet your Heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they 1 --Matthew vi., 2. That the great teacher knew men well, their weaknesses and their needs, is remarkably shown by this counsel. He had noted the anxiety written in their faces. Their duties, their business, their responsibili- ties weighed down the uplift of their hearts. And how much more He would have observed the same aspect to -day. Life then was simple and free compared with the present. Social conditions have grown so complex that it is hard to keep from being under stress. If one looks at the multitudes of persons he meets on our streets, every one I seems in a hurry, as if bearing a strain. Life is not being lived easily and naturally, but under a pressure -almost painfully. Even the faces of the young reveal this severe con- ception of life. Now, Christ considered this a dis- torted, needless and unhappy thing. And so He calls men to look at the freedon and BLITHESOME JOY of the caroling birds -so much wiser in their simplicity than they in all their anxious forethought and strain. How, their, can we avoid this error and take life easily and naturally 1 Love your work. Do not think that every one else has an easier calling than you have. Most of us have found the labor fitted to our hand, and, remembering that work is life's chief lousiness, we should take delight in it.. Throw away all ambition beyond that of doing your day's work well. Exercise neigh- borliness, feel kindly to your broth- er man, show an interest in his suc- cess, live and let live. Find pleas- ure in Vs: and interest in others. It is our selfishness that accounts for much of our stress. Were wo satisfied with our portion instead of cherishing a grasping spirit we would find life a far less thorny road. lie who takes time to do a kindly action lightens his own task and illuntes his own. Again, have sonic innocent re- creation. It is the greatest error to confound religion with abstinence and austerity. The church has • never made the mistake of oppos- ing harmless pleasures. Those Christian people who have done so have sadly misrepresented it. Never work over evils to come. "Sufficient unto, the day is the evil thereof." Far more troubles are suffered in invaginations than in reality. Let us hope for the best instead for dreading the worst. Never bear more than one trouble at a time. Some people bear three kinds -all they have had, all they have now and all they expect to have. Let us not, then, suffer from IMAGINARY SORROWS. And when troubles do comp bear them patiently. Patience is as a case of armor around the heart which deadens the blows inflicted on it. Impatience not only strips off the covering, but lays bare the ver., quick in all its sensitiveness of nerve. To bear evils with .patience extracts from them their sharpest thorns and gathers from them the sweetest graces of temper. liut the chief means of taking life easily is that to which the Mas- ter here points us. It is the lesson taught by the birds. They are by no means idle. They work from morning until night. But their ac- tivity is without care. Their life is free, joyous, unburdened by anxiety -a gladsome flight, ceaseless song and yet your heavenly father feed- eth them. Are ye not much better than they? Let us then have faith in God. Let us do our work and trust the rest to Him. JUNIUS B. REMENSNYDI:R. THE S. S. LESSON INTERNATIONAL LESSON, FEB. 14. mens of the apostles were publicly known.

It is estimated that there are now left in the continent of Au- stralia 75,000 of the original abori- ginal population; in the colony of Queensland there are about 20,- 000. Queensland has an elaborate system for looking after the wel- fare of the blacks by means of "protectors" stationed all over the colony, to see that the natives are fed and clothed, and shielded from the interference of white people. Missionary reports received indi- cate that the young natives have made very good progress in both reading and writing, but teaching thein arithmetic is hopeless. Many of the natives are well over six feet, and one, lately deceased, a native of the Nassau district, stood seven feet two inches, and was built in proportion. Like most savages, they are polygamists, but they aro not cannibals. The na- tives under civilization have de- veloped habits of economy and saving. The 136 aboriginal girls in domestic service in Queensland have over $55,000 to their credit in the Government Savings Bank, and considerable deposits are made by the men engaged in work through- out the colony. One of the best things the Government of the col- ony has done for them is to pro- hibit the sale of opium and opium ashes, and all intoxicating liquors, to them, under severe penalties. IMME\SE CONCRETE PIERS Those of Clover Bar Bridge May be Largest In the World. The concrete piers of the Clover Bar Bridge on the Grand Trunk Pacific; Railway are said to be the largest all concrete piers in Ca- nada, and perhaps in the world, says the Edmonton Bulletin. There are four of them, two of which are 140 feet, high and the others seven feet less in height. The bridge from abutment to abutment is 1,- 660 feet below the surface of the water. Thr concrete work was under- taken in midwinter. This was ono of the difficulties with which the constructing company had to con- tend. To work with concrete dur- ing cold weather it is necessary to use heat. Houses were constructed around the piers and these were heated with steam, which was conveyed by pipes from a plant on the river bank. After placing anti packing the concrete in its molds, it was also necessary that it, should be kept heated a;, least a day, and then allowed to be set gradually.

She was afterward taken out of the debris, with scarcely a whole bone in her body, dead. A poor woman who was found in the streets of Messina attracted attention through her strange be- havior. At first, it was thought that her terrible experiences had turned her bruin, but it was after- ward discovered that she was per- fectly sane. It seems that she had lost six children, five of whom slept in a room together, while she and a baby occupied a small roots near- by. They were all buried among the debris of the house, the bigger One particularly touching case of this kind has just occurred at Mes- sina. A soldier who had, through his exceptional strength, succeed- ed in lifting a beans which bad pinned hint down. from over his legs, worked fur almost two days in rescuing others with scarcely any rest. Late at night he was re- turning to a shed to sleep when he heard the subbing cry of a little girl. He stopped and a group of three sten, with whom a girl of eight was struggling violently, came in view. He stopped them, whereupon the child fled with what was afterward proved to be a con- siderable sum of money which she had gathered together in her fa- ther's house. The thieves, furious at the escape of their victim, set upon the soldier and killed him by kicking hits to death. These are but a few of the daily tragedies of this modern inferno, the victim of water, fire and earth- quake, and rendered a hell by man ; one moment the most beau- tiful spot on earth, the next a sink of terror and iniquity. TRICKED BY A WOMAN. Most Learned Egyptologist Deceiv- ed in Alleged Relies. A quiet -looking, unobtrusive lit- tle French woman has succeeded in deceiving one of the most learn- ed Egyptologists in Europe, Com- missioner Capard, of the Royal Museums, Belgium, by selling him two scarabs with alleged Egyptian inscriptions, for..some $2,000 Inscriptions on the atonVs seemed to settle the much -debated Yates -- tion whether the ancient Egyptians had circumavigated Africa. They related the voyages as a fact, and described an audience given by King Necho to the chief of the Phoenician sailors on their return from the journey. There was great competition for the stones, which, according to his widow, were found among the be- longings of the late M. Bouriant, director of the French School of History at Cairo, though the Inter- national Congress at Berlin last August declared that they were frauds. The true history has just been dis- closed by a Paris engraver, M. Baubien, who stated that he had engraved the stones from designs supplied by the late director's son. When they were submitted to him children probably killed in the he recognized his work, though the fall, as she heard no sound. Tho stones had been artificially aged. baby fell with her under a beam, Mme. Bouriant and her son have but on her chest and would have confessed the fraud, and are being been alive now had not one of the prosecuted in Belgium. ghouls who added fresh terrors to the city, angry at not finding any- thing to steal and irritated by the crying of the child which attracted attention to the spot, brutally kicked it, killing it immediately. The mother was afterward released and finding a friend on the street, poured out her terrible trouble. The friend had evidently been the goody of her district and told the poor credulous creature, that if she said two beads of her rosary at every street corner, never re- peating a street and crossed her- self five times, her children, if not yet dead, would revive. So the poor thing had pursued her pitiable perambulations for 24 hours, with- out food, never stopping for fear of thus indirectly killing her poor children, long since dead. She abaolutely refused even to sit down until assured by the archbishop of Messina, before whom she was taken, that HER SACRIFICE WAS IN VAIN. Conditions in Reggio aro worse than at Messina. It would take the vivid pen of a Dante to give an adequate idea of the conditions in the sister cities. At Reggio two thirds of the population lie under the debris of fallen buildings, the other third are in the streets, without roof, without food, without water, without clothes. Those fa- tal 30 seconds cast down all the conventional barriers set up by so- ciety and reduced rich and poor alike to primitive man who must have shelter from cold, and cloth- ing and food for his body, and when he is deprived of thein a suf- ficient time he will fight for thein. To this must be added total dark- ness at night, only broken by the fiendish thieves w no, having loot- ed a shop, had become possessed of e, bit of candle and with it made the round of the lugubrious rub- bish, to see what they could steal from the bodies of the dead. These jackals, composed of the scum of the town, are so bold that their researches are in many eases conducted in broad daylight and they resist with firearms and knives anyone who trice to interfere with thein. In one care a man, after putting his wife in safety, return- ed to try to secure ':ome of his valuables. Arrived at what was once his house he was forcibly pre- vented from entering by n couple of men who, when lie insisted, shot, him dead. The few police and soldiers that there are. are totally inadequate to keep this dangerous and unscrupulous element within bounds, so they have orders to SHOOT ON HIGHT, the result being regular pitched battles in full sight in the princi- pal streets, in which law and or- der do not always get the heat of it. Thus Fere ra1 soldiers have lost their lives and secernl more will undoubtedly do so before long. WOMAN AS JUDGE. Will Try Disputes Between Parisian Employers and Workers. "I swear to perform my duties with zeal and integrity, and to maintain secrecy as to our judicial deliberations." Thus, with uplifted hands, spoke n neat, demure woman of 30 in the First Chamber of the Paris Civil Court recently. She was dressed in black, with a black fur toque on her head. Her name is Mlle. Jusse- lin. She is believed to he the first woman to be invested with judicial authority, for she was recently elected at the triennial election of Purd'hommes to be one of the trade judges who sit to hear and decide upon disputes between employers and their work -people. She is the first woman to be elec- ted to this capacity under the new law authorizing women to be elect- ed as "Purd'homrnes," and will take her seat on the judge's bench at the first sitting of the court. Her judicial insignia will consist of a large silk sash passed over the shoulders and meeting on the l•reast, in front of which hangs a large silver medal representing the figure of the French Republic. She is by trade a dressmaker. Where powder only covers rap freckles, dynamite would probably remove them. "I heard your daughter Annie's wedding was quite a lively one, Mr. Jones."

FARM LANDS AND STOCK STATEMENT OF VALUES IN DIFFERENT PROVINCES. Latest Rcl:ort of the Bureau of Sta- tistics and Census of the Dominion. The Bureau of Census and Sta- tistics issued recently a report for the year just ended on farm land values in the Dominion, the value of faun animals, and the average of farm and domestic wages. The average value of farm land for all the Provinces is $35.70 per acre. In five of the Provinces it is under $30, being $27.30 in Manitoba, $ 5 in Nova Scotia, $21.40 in New Brunswick, $20.40 in Saskatchewan, and $18.20 in Alberta. In Priice Edward Island the average is $33.- 70 per acre, in Quebec 841.20, in Ontario $47.30, and in British Co- lumbia $76.10. Values are higher in the last named Province, owing to the comparatively large extent of farm land there in orchard and small fruits. VALUE OF HORSES. -_ The average value of horses at the end of the year is $46 for those under one year, $100 for one to under three years, and 8143 for three years and over. Horses of the last class are below an aver age of $120 in Prince Edward Is- land, Nova Scotia and Alberta ; in New Brunswick, Quebec and On-:- tario they are about $140, and in Manitoba and Saskatchewan they are $170 to 8170. Milch cows have an average value in the Dominion of $31, ranging from 829 in Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick to $36 in On- tario and $37 in Saskatchewan, but in British Columbia the average is $48. Other horned cattle have an average value over the Dominion of $9 for those under one year, 821 for one to under three years, and $32 for three years and over. These averages are generally close for all the Provinces, but the high- est values are given for Ontario and the western Provinces. SWINE AND SHEEP. The average value of swine is given at $5.80 per 100 pounds live weight, being lowest in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, and highest in Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia. Sheep aro given an average value of $3.23 per head for the Dominion, and arc below the average in the Maritime Provinces, Quebeo and Saskatchewan. The total value of farm animals, computed on the foreguing aver- ages and the number of animal " the farms in June, was $530,000,000. The June price of wool for the 1)o - minion was 13 cents per pound. The average wages of farm and domestic help for t he Dominion per month was 824.00 kr males seed $13.50 for females, and per year $209 for stales and $130 for females. The highest averages are reported for the western Provinces, where they reach about *300 per year fir males and $1e0 for females. In On- tario and Quebec the average for males is abtiut $240 and for females $120 per year. Most worsen keep a lot of ready- made synipathy on hand. A woman's happiness reaches the limit when she possesses a thing that no other woman can obtain. The fickleness of fortune is only equaled by the faithfulness of mis- fortune.
