A Persian murderer may pay blood Money In lien of is own life. The manner in Which this is calculated is one of the most complicated• things about Persian law. A woman Is worth -Only half a man, and so a man cannot sbe executed for the murder of a mere ewoman. A husband whose wife bad -been killed by his steward was obliged - first to pay half the Steward's blood price to the inan's relations. and thus the steward, baying been reduced to the value of balf a man, equal to one whole woman, was legally executed. /From this principle it follows that a en, an who has killed two Wotnen Can be 'Ondemned to death, as equality is not hfringed. If the murder of a woman be committed by several 'men *the friends, upon whose initiative, ,a,lone iiy proceedings cantakep1a,ga,de• hland the death of but one of the mur, derers and always by paying the ,terence in the price of blood. • On the Same ground if two women murder a ran the death of both can be demand., • (Evidently one could ,make a nonslip le fcirtune in Persia by get -tins Oliet en folk rourdered by a woman apleceo etch the seine plan Is carried out la eV case of minor Injuries, with thfs ns addition -that the part of the paid for is considered to be t.hie terty of the one who pays the blood on,ey-eLondon Times.

Many mechanical contrivances have been designed, and in some. instanees adopted, ios railway 'work in time of feg, but the human fog -signaler, with his sheltering hut like a sentry box, his watch -fire, and his d.etottators, is still chiefly depended even by the rail- way eompanies when attacked by their enemy, the fog fiend. Before proceeding to his appointed Ow, a London fogmart provides himself with as detonators, or fog sig- nals, whiele explode on compression, a hand lamp, trimmed and lighted, and a red and a green flag. Often the journey to his station in the fog and darkness is a dangerous and difficult task, familiar as fograen are with sVorY heal of the hue. Having arrived at his destination, he first chooses a spot from which he can distinguish clearly the position of the signal arm, 'whether raised or low- ered -at "danger" or "all right." If at "danger," the arm being in a hod. zontal position, he places two detona- tors on the rail. In many cases he may have charge of both the "un" and "down" lines; if this is so, de. tonators are placed on both lines. Keeping a watchfel eye upon the sighal, ae soon as it is drawn off, that is lowered or the passage of a train by the signalman in the distant box, the fog detonatoes are taken off the rail. If, from any cense, cautious pro- gress is necessary, one detonator -for "eaution"-is allowed to remain. An eerie experience is it to stand at night beside a fogman's hut, at some desolate portion of the line. The intense silence is broken by the screech of a pulley wheel, as the wire is jerked into motion by the sig- nalman 'way down the line. The "board" overhead drops with a clang, the red eye changing to a more friend- ly disposed green. "Right -oh!" murmur tthe fogm an , who steps forward and. picks up two detonators, carefully fixed, 10 yards apart, with soft, laden. "lugs" to the down -line. "It's the 'Irishman,' 45 minutes late," he remarks. He takes his hand lamp and pres: ently from the steel rail there rises a faint metallic hum. It is the tread of the wheels of the yet distant train. Now, borne on the wings of sound, for fog is a famous transadtter, there coraes a hollow booming, It is the express crossing a distant bridge. The sound dies away again; smoth- ered in a deep cutting, then rapidly rising into thunderous roar, while yet all is darkness around us. "Stand back!" says the fogman. We catch a glinapse of a. calm, set face at the "lookout" glass, whose hand upon the throttle, under Prove. deism, direct the destinies of the liv- ing freight behind him. _ New Submarine Cable. As soon as the undertaking is sanc- tioned by the British Treasury, a new submarine cable will be laid across the Tasman Sea, giving, with the aid of two short overland lengths, direct communication between Auckland and Sydney, The station at Doubtless Bay will be abandoned, and the cable op- erators will be removed to the tele- graph- office in Auckla-nd, and by a similar arrangement the staff at South- port will be transferred to quarters in Sydney. The New Zealand end of the cable will probably be landed at Onehunga and continued in an insu- later conduit into the city. The new system will be in operation probably within six months. A Powerful Engine. A new engine, built at Crewe, has jUst Accomplished, a remarkable per- formance 'during a trial rim. The en. gine, a side -tank freight locomotive, - rumen:: on the level,. drew with ease trein two-thirds of a mile in length. The load moved was of the record evelit of 2,000 tons, the train being of 175 full -loaded cars. MORE PWKIIAM CURES Added to the Long List due to This Famous Remedy.

It oeiginated in the fact that Toronto of the public school system of the Liberals some weeks ago secured the province.

Maloney- ites, marched down the street behind the Renfrew 'brass band and took up their position in the main thorough- fare in front of the theatre. There they remained for upwards of an hour. Finally, however, Dr. Maloney drove up, and through Peter White, K.C., of Pembroke, invited the crowd down to the market place, where they followed him. The opera house was Shen opened to the Graham men. At the conclusion, T. A. Low hurried down to the market place with Dr. Neilly. Dr. Neiliy said a few -words, but by this time the majority of the crowd had left. Taking the day as a whole, the honors were with the Maloney faction. The Conservative candidate's action in addressing on open air meet - tog have turned out to be the best tactics. The agreement by which the Con- servatives of South Renfrew were al- leged to have bound themselves, was the main topic of conversation at the Maloney meeting. Dr. Maloney was greeted with loud cheers. South Renfrew had elented Mr. Lowe but apparently he wasn't good enough for the Liberal leaders at Ottawa. Mr. Low could not very well be denied the privilege of retir- ing, but it was not for him to say who should be his su.eceseor. The twenty-seven Conservatives who had agreed to elect Hon. Mr. Graham had done simply as individuals and when Hon. G. P. Graham had gone about the constituency saying' that Dr. Ma- loney himself had supported the agree- ment, he had said that which he knew was untrue. He insulted every elector when he stated the Conserva- tive party had broken faitb with him. A large crowd had assembled in. the opera house for the Liberal meeting. Dr. B. G. Connolly of Renfrew .was chairman and the speakers were Hon. Mr. Graham himself, T. A. Low, ex- M.P., and Nr. Neely, M.P. Mr. Low stated he had made up his mind that, while outsiders were try- ing to ran the Conservative party, they would not run the Liberal party. Referring to the Conservative con- vention which had nominated. Dr. Ma- loney, Mr. Low stated that at 1.30 Dr. Maloney had supported carrying out the agreement made and at two o'clock he was nominated. The cam- paign throughout had been one of raud-slinging on the part of the Con- servatives. Mr. Graham, he consider- ed, should be allowed to go back to the House to answer the charges which had been made against him. course of procedure In that he had endeavored before to ax.the House. , Hon..

The boys and girls be- tween 6 and 14 years in the public. schools of the province are being taught entirely too much." Dr. McQueen deplored the small amount that was spent by the pro- vince for the public health. Vast, sums devoted to the Hydro-eleetrie and only the miserable sum of $40,000 in the interests of the public health. While admitting that the Provincial Board of Health had done excellent work, he said it should be empowered to do much more. "I suggest that the Provincial Sec- retary cease his prison reform work for a short time and do some Govern- ment reform. If he did he would have a reform Governme-nt in a few years." Dr. McQueen practically endorsed a proposal that the Government has un- der consideration at the present time, viz., the abolition of the municipal medical health officers throughout the province, who are now paid a paltry remuneration for their services, and the appointment of county medical health officers at a salary sufficient to make them independent of private practice. A thoroughly equipped labor- atory, he said, should be established by the province in connection with the appointment of the county M.H.O.'s, so that examinations of diphtheria swabs and tubercular spu- tum could be made locally without having to go to Toronto and other large centres of population. The whole House was put, in good humor by the inimicable address of R. J. IVIcCormick of East Lambton. His logic is excellent, and he belabor- ed the Government of Sir James Whit- ney without the slightest tinge of ill - feeling or bitterness in his remarks. He was appleuded by both sides of the House. J. Thompson said the Opposition had accused the Government of being the seven sleepers, but the Liberals in reality were the sleepers them- selves, for they are just beginning where the Ross Government left off, apparently unaware of all the pro- gressive legislation that had been ac- complished. during the past seven years." J. W. Sohneton, West Hastings, said that the leader of the Opposition and the other new members of the House could well afford to be reprimanded by Sir James Whitney as to the proper The railway .00mrnission should bN, enlarged in number or given mor help. Mr. Turiff e.dvocated the divi Sion of the commission into two seett tions, not one east and one west, but' that one section should deal exchiel sively with all freight matters. In conclusion, Mr. Turriff moved, int emendment, seconded by W. M.

Hon. Robert Rogers, in reply, hel4i that the cost of construction, as we as the east of operation, had to bel taken into consideration in deterrairitt ing freight rates. The late Minister of Railways, he stated, had declared that the railwaY1 commission had full and complete.. trol. "We accept and recognize the boardi of railway commissioners as the °illy, legitimate child of the late Govern:1 ment. Accepting this, we are not goa ing to sit here and vote for a resollit tion which is in reality a vote of want of confidence in the railway commig sion." The deplorable conditions in West- ern Canada were due to the negli- gence of the late Government. Th present Government had take the only legitimate course of securing full and complete justice for these grievance in asking the railway commission to take up the matter and employing three of the ablest lawyers in Canada to present the ease to the people. It would serve no good purpose and not be trea ino the railway commission fairly to pass this resolution. Hon. Frank Oliver declared it did. not matter what were the theoretical rights of the railway board, the actual rights rested with Parliament, and if the railway board had not taken up and settled these grievances the ret sponsibility for their rectificAion wai on Parliament and the Governrneflti H.
