Trick Intended to Pervert the Meaning of a Man's Deposition. ?One of the most daring- tricks I ever I came across," said a New York attorney the other; day, according to the St. ' Louis Globe-Democra t, "was in the case of a man who deliberately impersonated i a lawyer s clerk and persuaded a very ! ; sick man to sign a will without reading ! j it and which -disposed of his property in ; direct opposition to his wishes. ; It was ' a case of a family dispute, and the old : . gentleman, who was quite wealthy,! had decided to disinherit his eldest son and leave the property to 4 younger j one. being- warned by his doctor that i he had only a day or two more to live he sent instructions to his attorney to draft his will and send it down prompt " ly for signature. .

On his return to the of fice his employer saw at once that a fraud had been committed, and he hastened to the house to have it set right. In the meantime, however, the sick man had becomerunconscious, and he died without being able to execute a will after his own wishes.

A Dangerou Traveling Companion. During a recent" rise in the lower Mississippi among the victims were a Mr. Henry, his wife and his ten-year-old boy. Quite early in : the morning the fast-rising tide overspread the yard and came into the house. Mr. Henry climbed up higher and higher, and finally he and his family were on the roof, with the family dog and cat and a half dozen chickens. But the tide kept rising until finally the roof slipped off, and then began a singular and adventurous voyage.

The secret was kept jealously guarded by the discoverer and a few intimate friends to. whom he confided it, while es capades of the most private nature be came public property in the most myste rious way. Finally one listener had hia curiosity more than satiated by hearing his wife's confession to the priest and raised such a row that the secret became known, and the location of the confession al was changed to a more secure Dart ot the edifice. St. lnis Globe-Democrat Victims of "Christian Science." If a child may be lawfully left to perish (as was the case recently in Haverhill) from want of the known means of saving lif e, in case the child's natural protectors and providers choose to claim their neg- j lect as an act of faith, it would seem to i logically follow that slaughter of the in-1 nocent and helpless is covered by the ' same mantle. And that is precisely what was claimed in an instance which dis-1 graced our commonwealth and horrified the country not a frreat manv vears m : There are just as many texts to be cited in proor tnat the prayer of faith will re store life as there are to show that it will heal disease. Accordingly a pious fanatic, neither more nor less irrational than others whose zeal stops short of Ins extreme, deliber ately cut the throat of his sleeping babei in order, as he said, that an unbelieving vorld might be the witness of a miracle like that wbich Abraham expected God to work upon Isaac when the father of the faithful prepared to offer up his only 1 son in sacrifice. Perhaps casuistry can ' point oct a distinction between the faith 1 that slays by willful nczlect and th fnifi, that, more mercifully, slays with the keen edged knife. ; The pretense that the interference of Human law in. such a case as that at Haverhill wcnld bo an undue invasion or parental -authority or restriction of re ligious liberty is preposterous.
