HANGING BY A THREAD—A man'named
Chatton has just been condemned to death at
Friburg, and his life now hangs by the thread of a curious point of constitutional law. There has not been an execation in the canton since 1832, and in 1874 the articles of the Constitu tion enabling the death penalty to be inflicted were abolished. It is true that a law has since been enacted restoring the death penalty, and it is under this that Chatton stands condemned to lose his head. But it appears that the old. articles under which the death penalty, could be inflicted have been expunged from the Code, and Swiss Constitutional practice requires that the new articles should be published. As this has never been done, the, Court of Cassation will have to pronounce upon the strange question as to whether a sentence of death, pronounced under due sanction of law, can be legally carried out. JAPANESE ART UNDER THE HAM- MERAmong the items brought under the hammer at the sale of the Haysahi collection of Japanese art objects in Paris have been collec- tions of bronzes, Chinese as well as Japanese, and of pottery. Several of the pieces felched high prices. An ancient Chinese bronze, gold- lacquered in parts, brought in £7,too. Among the similar ware of Japanese workmanship the biggest price, 15,000, was fetched by a figure of a goddess of the thirteenth centuary. In the Japanese pottery, a Satsuma scent-burner brought f.725 The sale concluded an ist ult, the total proceeds having amounted to over f.500,000 (£20,000 about). The final lots dis- posed of included Japanese swordhilts. A sat. of 50 of the latter, of fifteenth-century work manship, fetched over £3,250, another collec tion of 37 hilts, of the sixteenth century, bring ing f.2,000,
A FABULOUS MORTALITY:-In an in- terview in the Church Family Newspaper, Mrs. Isabella L. Bishop refers to the fact that the missionary cause suffers greatly through the terrible mortality in the Roman Catholic orphanages. These orphanages are splendid institutions for the care of any Chinese chil dren who are in need of them. Many Chinese
baby girls are abandoned by their parents be- children-boys and cause they are girls, other girls-are

ANOTHER EXTENSIVE ROBBERY, has just been perpetrated in the harbout. Before Mr. Kemp this morning, Theodore Jacob, chief engineer of the s.s. Lyzemoon, charged one Ham On for stealing his gold chain, a white metal,watch, one set of studs, one pair of silver sleeve links, and a pen-knife, all amounting to $118. The prisoner was just in the act of leaving the ship when Mr. Jacob missed his belongings, and immediately caught hold of the man, whom he gave into custody. He was sent to gaol for two months with hard labour

CHINESE BELIEVE THEY ARE EATEN:
The Chinese, who cannot understand the no- tives of the sisters in trying to rescue these ne. glected and, in a great number of cases, actually dying wails, imagine all sorts of things against the foreign devil and his religion. Such is now the prejudice against these orphanages that some are nearly empty. The children are kept out of their way. One that I know, which could accommodate 400 children, only has 13. The natives believe that foreigners eat children, stew them down to jellies, and that the eyes of the children are now used in the preparation of some photographic ingredients.
