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 absolute sovereign, bishops, an army of Jesuits and divinity students more numerous than that of the prince, an ar^ tillery the ordnance of which is almost rifled, an etiquette more elaborate than that of the late Louis XIV, principles of government more despotic than those of William of Prussia, and, in addition to all this, a magnificent toleration for the vices of humanity.

On the other hand, let us salute this virtuous peacefully disposed king, who, fearing neither invasions nor revolutions, rules tranquilly over his happy little people in tho midst of a court ceremonial, in which is preserved intact the tradition of four reverences, 26 hand kissings and all tho forms observed in a bygone era in the presence of great rulers.

This monarch, above everything, is neither bloodthirsty nor revengeful, and when he banishes—for he does banish—the 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. He was expelled from the country by royal decree.

For a month he roamed around the forbidden paradise, fearing the flaming sword of the archangel in the shape of a gendarme's saber. Finally ho one day plucked up courage, crossed the frontier, gained in 00 seconds the heart of the country and entered the Casino. But suddenly an official stopped him. "Were you not banished, monsieur?" "Certainly I was, but I am going back by the next train." "Oh, in that case it is all right. You tsan enter, monsieur."

And every week he returned, and on each occasion tho same official put to him tho same question, which he answered in the same fashion.

But a few years ago a serious and entirely novel case arose in the principality.

A murder had been committed. A man, a native of Monaco, not one of the transient strangers of whom one meets legions, but a married man, in a moment of passion had killed his wifa

He had killed her without reason, without any extenuating circumstances. This opinion was unanimous throughout the whole principality.

The supreme court met to judge this exceptional case, for never before had murder been committed, and the wretch was condemned to death.

Tho outraged soyereign signed the death warrant. It only remained to execute the criminal. But here a difficulty presented itself. Tho country possessed neither executioner nor guillotine.

What was to be done? On the advice of the foreign minister, the prince entered into negotiations with the French government to obtain the loan of a remover of heads and his apparatus.

Long deliberations in the ministerial office at Paris. Finally they replied and forwarded a minute of expenses for moving tho guillotine and for the services of tbe expert The total was 18,000 francs.

His majesty of Monaco thought that tho affair was going to cost him pretty dear the murderer assuredly was not worth so much money. Sixteen thousand francs for the neck of a rascal 1 The devil!

He then preferred the*same request to the Italian government A king, a brother in royalty, would doubtless not prove such a hard bargainer as a republic.

The Italian government sent a minute of expenses which amounted to 12,000 francs.

Twelve thousand francs! Why, it would bo necessary to impose a new tax, a tax of 2 francs a head on the inhabitants. That would be enough to stir up unknown troubles in the state.

Ho contemplated decapitating the ruffian by an ordinary soldier. But the general, on being consulted, was doubtful whether any of his men had had sufficient swovd practice to aoquit themselves satisfactorily of a task demanding great experience in handling the weapon.

So the prince again oonvened the supreme court and submitted to them this embarrassing position of affairs.

The court sat a long time without discovering any practical solution. At last the president suggested commuting the death sentence into one of imprisonment for life, and the suggestion was adopted.

But they had no prison. It was necessary to improvise one. A jailer was also commissioned who took charge of the prisoner.

For six months everything went well. Tho convict slept all day on a mattress in his hut, and his guard did the same on a chair just inside the door facing the passersby.

But the prirtoe is economical—it is his least fault—and requires tho details of the smallest expenditures incurred throughout his dominions. Among these wore placed before him the items of the disbursements relating to tbe creation of anew office, the maintenance of the prison, prisoner and jailer. The outlay od the last was a heavy drain on the royal purse.

His faoe lengthened visibly, and when lie considered it might last forever, for the ooodemned man was still young, he

insisted on his minister of justioe taking measures to suppress this expense. The minister held a consultation with the president of the tribunal, and the two agreed that the office of jailer might be abolished. The prisoner, required to guard himself all alone, would not fail to escape, and this would solve the question to the satisfaction of ftlt

The jailer was thereupon sent back to his family, and one of the under cooks of the palace was simply required to carry, morning and evening, food to the prisoner. But that gentleman made no attempt to reoover his liberty.

One day indeed when they had failed to provide him with nourishment he coolly presented himself to claim it, and henceforth it was his custom, in order to save the cook a journey, to come at meal hours and *at with the servants of the palace, with whom he had become friendly.

After breakfast he would take a stroll as far as Monte Curia Occasionally he would enter the Casino and risk a few francs at play. When he won, he would treat himself to a good dinner at one of the leading hotels, then ho would return to his prison and carefully lock the door from the inside.

He never slept out a single night. The situation was becoming difficult, not for the condemned man, but for his judges. Z) iiffP

Onco more the court assembled, ana it was decided that they should invite the oriminal to depart from the states of Monaco.

On this deoision being'communicated to him he merely replied: "I perceive you are joking. Come, now. Why Bhould I go away, I, indeed? I have no means of living. I have no longer any family. What do you wish me to do? I was condemned to death. You didn't execute me. I said nothing. Then I was condemned to imprisonment for life and handed over to a jailer. You deprived mo of my jailer. Still I said nothing. "Now you ask me to get out of the country. No, thank you. I am a prisoner, your prisoner, judged and condemned by you. I am carrying out my punish ment faithfully. Here I stop."

The supreme court was dumfounded. The prinoe flew into a terrible rage and ordered them to act

They applied themselves diligently to deliberating. The outcome was it was decided they should offer the prisoner a pension of 600 francs a year to live in another country.

He accepted. He has bought a little inclosed plot of land within five minutes' walk of the realm of his former sovereign he lives happily on his estate, cultivating a few vegetables and holding potentates in contempt.—F^pm the French of Guy de Maupassant in Romance.

Hot? They Got Rich.

When I talk to a man who has made a fortune by advertising, I wonder that anybody who has anything to sell does not go and do likewise. One man told me a day or two ago tfyit his concern, with a nominal capital of $100,000, only $30,000 of which was paid, in, has divided in a single year among three partners profits to the amount of $750,000, and that exclusive of salaries of $50,000 and $25,000 drawn by two members of the firm. Ten or twelve years ago this man was a drug clerk on a small salary in a western town and is now one of the millionaires of New York. "Without advertising I might have made a living," he said, "but it was advertising that made me rich, and advertising a very simple commodity at that"

Another man, who bears similar testimony, tells me that his concern, which began by investing $10,00® a year in advertising, increased the amount every year according to their increase of business, and this year expects to spend $1,000,000. Still another, who confined himself entirely to the newspapers and magazines in the exploitation of his specialty, never having touched a dead wall, a fence or the broad side of a barn with poster or paintbrush, and never employing a salesman, has a cool million salted down in real estate, keeps his yacht and spends most of the year abroad in luxurious living.

Many other men of my acquaintance resting in ease and wealth have told me stories of their own experience with the same moral. Some day I am going to print these stories and give the names of the heroes. —Major Handy in Chicago Times-Herald.

The difficulties of the English language are well illustrated in a story recently told of three French boys who were doing Shakespeare into English from their French versions. When they came to the line from "Hamlet," "To be or not to be," the three translations came out as follows: "To was or not to am," "To were or is to not," "To should or not to will."

FOE LITTLE FOLKS.

LEARNED A LE8SON.

The Bar With tho Umbrella Mo Longer Wanted to Be a Big General. In the middle of the garden stood a little boy under a big umbrella. He always kept it spread, no matter what the weather might be, and winter and summer, day end night, he was always in his place. A fountain fell on the top of the umbrella, which was iron, and all around the boy, who was iron too. "Oh, dear," thought the boy,

Meanwhile the air in the garden was growing more and more sultry, but be did not feel it in the middle of the cool fountain. The people in the hot, dusty street looked longingly at the iron boy in his snug little water, house. How they wished that they oould change places with him!

At last a great drop fell, and then another, and then it seemechw if some one was pumping water out of the clouds. Everybody rushed home as fast as possible. A little sohoolboy ran past and looked up at the iron boy. "Wish I was that fellow!" he shouted. "Hullo, lend us yoor parasol?" But the iron boy only stood still and sulked. "Oh, may I come under your umbrella?" gasped a butterfly, who wasoaught in her new spring dress. "How wise you are always to carry ono I" She sat on his finger and dried her blue and gold suit The rain fellvin torrents all around them, but it did not touch her.

At last the sun came out again and made a great rainbow in the sky and a little bow in the fountain. The butterfly said that she must go. "You have saved my life, you kind boy!" she said gratefully. "This dreadful storm would have quite washed away poor lis tie me. "Bbw much nicer to hold an umbrella overs .ch a helpless little thing than to flourish a sword like that big stone doll yonder!" And waving her pretty wing to him away she flew. "Perhaps she is right," thought the iron boy. And he held the despised um brella Anight and high as- if he was proud of^t, after alL—Youth's Com panions.

Get an Egg and Spin It.

In fact, get two eggs, one boiled and the other raw, and spin them rapidly on their sides on a mirror or other perfectly smooth surface. If you put the palm of your hand gently upon the boiled egg while it is spinning, it of course ceases to move, and remains motionless after you have lifted your hand.

But if you do the same with a raw egg it will immediately begin to spin again when the hand is removed. Indeed, it is extraordinary how long you can hold your hand upon it without destroying its motion.

The reason of this Is no doubt apparent The fluid within the shell continues to revolve, though the shell is stationary, while in the other ease the whole egg is stopped.

If you attempt to spin the egg on the mirror like a top, yon will find that the boiled egg will spin for a considerable time, but the other will fall almost immediately on its aide.—Pearson's Weekly.

As showing the force of maternal love among the lower animals there are few more pathetic incidents than the following, which comes from Australia:

During a severe drought the owner of a country station was* sitting one evening on the bttlcony outside his house when be was surprised to notice a kangaroo lingering about, alternately approaching and retiring from the house, as though half in doubt and fear what to do. At length she approached the water pails, and taking a young one from her pouch held it to the water to drink.

While her babj^ %as satisfying its thirst the mother v,*s quivering all over with excitement, for she was but a few feet away .from the balcony, where one of her great foes was sitting, watching her. The little ono having finished drinking, it was replaced in the pouch, and the old kangaroo started off at a rapid pace.

UNIQUE CHALLENGE.

Freethinkers and President of ..Dallas, W« C. T. U. Take Issue, The Freethinkers' hall, Dallas, was Inadequate to conveniently hold those who listened to John R. Ohalesworth's Infidel lecture the other night, and it was the occasion of one of the most unique challenges upon record. The lecture was entitled, "Is There a God?" The speaker claimed that while there might be one there was no actual evidence to prove it. Cjp*

He went over the1 ground from the earliest histories and records to the present day and claimed that in the economy of nature there was no necessity for a God. At the conclusion of the lecture, Mrs. Sweeney, president of the Dallas W. C. T. U., arose and asked the lecturer if he would give her his name that she might pray for him, and if he felt his heart touched he was to make as public an admission of the fact as he had of his unbelief in a Deity.

Secretary Paget of the Freethinkers' sooiety arose and asked Mrs. Sweeney if she would accept his name, that he, like the leoturer, doubted the existence of Jehovah. All he stipulated for was a time limit. He did not want to wait till he was dead, as they might say he made a deathbed recantation. The time .limit was set at three months.

Mr. Paget further stipulated that, if at the end of the three months he and Mr. C^alesworth or either of them bad not made a public confession, Mrs. Sweeney is to admit that there is no efficacy in prayer, that God is a failure and does not exist. To this Mrs. Sweeney agreed, and the lecturer and secretary signed this very extraordinary challenge.—-St is to a Dilemma.
