Not till four calendar months have passed will the mayor (of course the odious brute has been dismissed from office) be sat at liberty. All the village hopes that, upon being freed and resuming the control of the pharmacy which he directs, change for the better will have taken place. These artless villagers are too sanguine.....

Every indignant villager, except the brute's wife, a loyal and very long-suffering woman, considers that, in place of four months im- prisonment, a sentence of four years, on Devil's Island, would have been a more fitting punish- ment, Yet, had the revolting, in- human, brutalized practitioner of blood-lust and frightful cruelty left for a distant shore, he doubtless would have maltreated the cats in which this sultry Isle abounds. Justice, if too lenient, might have done worse: the grimalkins at least are spared.

Improper Haste.

Many a Parla restaurant cook laments the speed at which certain diners rush through a carefully) 'prepared dinner, in order that a "dancing" may be reached at the earliest moment. The excellent old saying, "after dinner sit awhile," does not appeal to the younger generation, or, for that matter, to Į many persons who are old enough to know better, and to whom digestion should be a most im- portant matter.

A Mental Case.

"Eventually the man was taken to the county gaol on suspicion. He never wavered from his asser tion of innocence, but told me ho knew that a man named Polenski had committed the crime..

"Something about him made mo suspect he was a mental case and I decided to try an experiment. With another doctor I gave him an injection of one-two-hundredth of a grain of hyocene hydro-bromide. which had the result of making him draway. As the effects of the drug began to wear off I asked him his name and he replied immediate- ly "Polenski."
