The facts are furnished by Robert Matton, Q. C7 a well known crimi nal lawyer, who acted for her pro fessionally on several : occasions. Adele's story, as told by herself, is as follows: . When a mere girl, living with her parents in Brussels, she became acquainted with a young man, one Pinsen,; belonging to a wealthy family, then studying in Brussels, and fell madly in love with him. He annertred to be equally infatua ted witar ner. -xuey oecame iorm- ally engaged and were secretly married, as she believed. Owing to the opposition of Pinsen's family the affair was kept private, and he ytyutisixi iu uiaau ueruis wile puo- licly in due time. Meanwhile he was gazetted lieutenant in the British army and ordered to Hall fax. Just previous to this he wrote to her to meet him in London, where they would be formally; mar ried, but; before she reached there Pinsen had started with his j regi ment for Halifax. She returned to Brussels j and shortly afterward clandestinely left home, resolved to follow; the man she loved so madly. Arriving in New (York, she made! her way to Halifax, and uvea mere tor neany mree years. Pinsen proved recreant, but she seems to have followed him) day and night, and frequently declared to the family with whom she board ed that he should never marry; an other woman while she lived. She was eccentric, aud never weut out unless deeply veiled. At night she went tout alone in disguise, wearing a high hat, top boots and carrying a stick. Pinsen repudiat ed all knowledge of or connection with Adele Hugo, and had not been here jlong before be became engaged to a daughter of J. W. Johnston, then premier of , Nova Scotia. This coming to Adele's ear she confided her history in pro fessional confidence to Mr. Matton, and that -gentleman sent a letter! to the Johnston family, and they im ; .

IL.t who receives guests auumug mv there, is a contagion disease in his bouse is liable to damages to any guest who may. contract the dis ease. Tbe plaintiff went to the de fendant's hotel and was taken down with the : smallpox. She caught the disease 1 from a guest who was in the house when she went there. The landlord knew that there was a case of smallpox in his house when be admitted the plaintiff. When tho latter got well she sued for Jive thousand dollars damages and obtained a verdict. . It appear ed that before going to the hotel tbe plaintiff had heard a rumor that there was smallpox there. The defendent put in the plea that the plaintiff was guilty of contributory negligence in not making inquiry as to the truth of the .rumor, . On this point the Supreme Court says: "By keeping his hotel open for business the landlord in effect rep resented to all travellers : that: it was i a reasonably safe place at which to 8 top; and he is hardly in a position now to insist that the plaintiff, who accepted and acted on this representation and was in. jored because ot its untruth, shall be precluded from recovering for the injury on tbe ground that she might by further inouirv 'have learned of its falsity.'' The Court held that the plaintiff was entitled to damages not only for tbe pbysi cahand mental' suffering she en dured while sick, but also for the marks left by the disease. n I ITEMS Olf INTEREST.

Iii 1878 a distinguished surgeon of Paris, Dr. Tarftter, visiting an establishment lor hatching chick ens, established in tbe Garden of Acclimation ! in Parrs, was struck with the idea of using tbe same sort of apparatus for infants born prematurely,1 or having a very weak constitution, i 1 j In the latter part of 1880 he had a special model constructed for: tbe purpose, and this brooder for in fanta, us it may be called, was; ex hibited in tbe middle of the brood ers for domestic fowls. 1 The ma jority of the visitors to the exposi tion supposed that it was a joke. Nevertheless; this brooder, or "con v.euse," was destined for the Ma ternity Hospital of Paris, where it was first put in use in November, , These conveuses are large boxes of wood, with double walls, resting onja pedestal. They are divided into two compartments, the lower containing warm water and the upper the lied of the iufant. The upper compartment is covered by two plates of glass, which are mov able, through which may be seen the condition of the iufant and the temperature indicated by a ther mometer placed within. A suffici ent; number of openings are made to give communication with the ex ternal air, which enters from be low1, passes over the warm water heating surface, and then into the upper compartment, from which it escapes. ' The infant is thns placed in a warm-air bath, the tempera ture of which is maintained con stantly at 30 centigrade, or 80 Fahrenheit. , The greatest difficul ty is to maintain tbe constant tem perature. Tbe beat is supplied by a special lamp. The results obtained by the em ploy men t of the convense are worthy of attention. From Novem ber. 1831, to July, 1833, there were treated by this method 151 iufants, of whom 91 had been prematurely boni and tbe others very feeble. A healthy infant born at full time weighs about 3,500 grams. Those infants which at birth weigh less than! 2,000 grams are considered as very! feeble ; that is, it is more pro bable that they will die than that they! will live. Statistics show for snch infants a mortality of about 65 per cent. With the convense, out of the 92 iufants prematurely bom; 3t died and 61 lived. ! Tbe time which an infant is kept in tbe convense varies from one day to six weeks, according to iU coudi tion. course with Pinsen. Lieut. Pinsen left Halifax with his regiment Tor Barbadoes, and Adele followed him. Some' years ago she became insane and was placed in a private asylum either in New York or Bos ton. Tbe fate of tbe man who be trayed her is uuknown. The Grand Jary Abolished 1m Nebraska. Nebraska has made a radical re form in its criminal procedure. It has abolished the regular grand jury and adopted the "informa tion system. The change affects only the beginning of a prosecution. Under tbe grand jury system the' charges against an accused person are passed upon by that body1, which either I finds an indictment or returns "no bill."

The Con stitution of tbe Uuited States pro vides that "no person shall be held to answerj for a capital or Other-! wise infamous crime unless, on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury." This secures to per sons accused of the higher grades of crime the right of having the charge against, them passed upou by a grand jury. But the provision applies to prosecutions only in the federal courts. In the State courts both the grand and the petit jury systems are under the coutrol of the State. M I Am to the expediency of the re form adopted in Nebraska opinions will differ. The grand jury is a time honored institution which many 'regard as essential to the liberty and security of the citizen. In the cases to which it applies no person cau be prosecuted except on an indictment found by a body of hia peers, j Where prosecution is begun by information the machin ery of tbe law is set in motion by one man. To this it may be ob jected tbat ! the public prosecutor may bring the innocent to trial and let tbe guilty go free. In this there is doubtless more theoretical than practical force, and under the Nebraska law the objection is met in a large degree by the superviso ry powers vested in the court. But whatever may be said for or against tbe reform, its adoption is a very important step and its work ing will be watched with great in terest. : I " - - "i : ' McGregor is one of the foothills of the Adirondack range, aud its crown is 1,200 feet above the level of tidewater.

The writer thinks that such a diet would have certain advantages for poor . people, and he insists that an "ap petizing relish" is to be found in ''boiled caterpillars, fried grass hoppers, and grilled cock chafers.1! His argument rests mainly on the descriptions s of the half-starved travellers concerning their person al enjoyment of cooked insects, and the fact that certain savages thrive on such diet. 1 When a chief dies in Sitka his . wives pass to his next heir, and, . unless these relics. purchase their! freedom . with blankets; they are united to their grandson or nephe w i as a matter of course.

They are made of the pita fibre, a sort of pal in, and ire braided under water by native w men of strands often twelve aiid fifteen feet long, and fine ones are very expensive. It often takes two or three weeks to braid a sin gle hat, which sells for five or six dollars, and lasts forever. A trav eller speaks of one made of a sin gle straw or fibre, as fine as thread and soft as silk.
