Dun's Review says that on July 1st, 1897, the total cont for the necessaries of life for one person one year was f 73.45. 1 oi ay the cost or tue same necessaries has increased to fl01.5N.

The Maori women of Australasia have their rights flourishing ones. General ly tbey have little voice or choice in tbe selection of their first husbands, but tbey may, and frequently do, change them. A woman may trade ber husband without so much as a comment from tbe public without the slightest smudge on ber good name, and it ia nothing to his discredit either. Courtship is always brief and does not often prefaoe mar' riage. Tbe Maoris, however, love to re peat oriental love tales and sing love songs Maori widows not infrequently commit suicide on the graves of their husbands and are honored for doing so. as iu China Divorce is simple; it needs no revenue, employs no officers.

A Person Mar D Guilty of Perjury Though He Swears to the Truth So Such Offense as Trespass Points About Forgery. In no branch of the law as It Is dis pensed In Great Britain are such curi ous points to be found or a greater number of anomalies to be met with than in the criminal branch thereof. j It may be news to some people, for Instance, to know that there are a num- j ber of things In existence which can-1 not be stoleu, such as a corpse, animals ; fera; natuftpl. e., animals wild In a state of nature (with certain excep tions created by statute)-soll of the! earth, etc. To attempt to steal nothing would appear on the face of it to be an Impossibility, much less a crime, but a man Indicted for attempting to pick a lady's pocket which was subse quently found to be empty was found guilty of an 'attempt to commit theft," In the ! tUo,Sn- in 'aet' t'it're was nothing in me pocKei io sieai. Any one lucky enough to pick up a sovereign lying In the rond will be glad to bear that, if at the time of finding It be had no reasonable means of dis covering the owner of it, and also If he did not at the same time conceive the Idea of appropriating It to himself, he will not be guilty of stealing If he koeps his lucky find, even If the right ful owner discovers and claims it. Most people walking In the country must have noticed on numerous occa sions boards or placards posted up in woods, fields, etc., notifying in large letters that "trespassers will be prose cuted," but few are aware that such notices are utterly useless and no one need feel the lenst alarm thereat, there being no such offense known in crimi nal law as such n trespass, and a per son could never be prosecuted for such nu offense. Tbey are. in fact. In tha words of that eminent jurist. Sir Fred erick Pollock, iri his well known work, "Pollock on Torts." a "wooden false hood." It is a common fr.llacv to imagine that the crime of f.irgery consists in signing another's name, though In fact commltthis forgery consists iirlriiaking and littering any false instrument in writing with attempt to defraud; thuii it may be a forgery to omit a word from a document, and it will be a mat ter of considerable surprise to many to learn that It is possible for a person to forge his or her own name. A person, however, who fraudulently Inserts an other's name on a picture, thereby sell ing It as the work of some other artist, Is not guilty of forgery, as a picture Is not an "Instrument in writing." Tbe crime of perjury also does not quite "fit in" with the generally ac cepted Idea, which Is that If a person. after being sworn on oath to speak the truth, swears falsely, he Is guilty of such offense. This is correct with the Important qualification that the fact the witness bas sworn to must be ma terial to the cusp. Thus. If Yi witness on being duly sworn gave n fa Is" ad dress on being asked where ho l!ved. this, though untrue, would rot amount to perjury, as the place where the wit ness lived would be quite immaterial. . That a person may be guilty of per jury though speaking the truth may seem a curious anomaly, but such nev ertheless Is the fact, as tbe test of per jury Is not whether a person Is speak ing what he believes to be the truth; so, if a witness, for instance, on being asked. "What colored tie was the pris oner wearing when you met him?" re plied "red." when In fact he did not really notice, he would be guilty of perjury, even though the prisoner was in reality wearing a red tie when tbe witness met him. Numerous other Instances of crimes which present similar curious points to the above might be given, and. in pass ing, persons taking out Insurances against burglary might note that this crime can only be committed between the hours of 9 p. m. and 6 a. m.; that breaking into a house by means of an open door or window Is not burglary. although entering a house by sliding down tbe chimney is. We most not conclude this article without a short reference to a compar atively recent case In wbicb a man not possessing the means to pay entered a restaurant, where he ordered and ate a good dinner. As. however, he was un able to pay for tbe same he was given in charge and subsequently indicted for "obtaining goods by false pre tenses," Tbe case resulted in tbe pris oner's acquittal on tbe ground that be had not been guilty of any false pre tenses. Tills Individual therefore had a good meal on the cheap, but we should not advise any enterprising reader to emu late his example, ns. although he could not indeed be prosecuted for obtaining goods by false pretenses. It seems that be will still be criminally liable under the bankruptcy act for obtaining credit by fraudulent means. Loudon Tit-Bits. Averting- a Pnnle. On one occasion John Philip Sousa by his promptness was the direct means of stopping a panic which might have bad the most disastrous results. While his band was playing before 12.000 peo ple In St. Louis the eleftrie lights In the hall went out suddenly. People began to move uneasily In their seats, and some even begun to make a rush for the doors. Coolly tapping with his baton, fonsa gave a hi'rnal. and imme diately bis b.-nd he;:;! it playing.
