| SALTED SUICIDES,
ACURIOUS JUDICIAL PROCEEDING IN “ OLD-TIME FRANCE.
People Who Killed Themselves Were Tried by Jury aud Their Corpses Sentenced to Ignominious Treatment by Order ef the Court,
The embalming of human bodies is at present doue by the undertakers, and there are few physicians, probably, who, if called upon to perform the operation, would be able to do so with- out consulting their books and reading up on the subject. In olden times the case was ‘different, and in France especi- lly, before the revolution, says a writer in the Revue Scientifique, medical men were frequently ca!led upon to embalm cadavers, although the operation was spplied almost whoily to one class of subjects, i. e., to suicides. But why were the cadavers of suicide embalmed, and what was the process used?
“Snicide,” says Beccaria, “is an of- fense which it seems can be submitted to no punishment properly so called, since such punishment could be inflicted only apon an insensible or lifeless body, or upon innocent persons. Now, any punishment that might be meted out to the inanimate remains of the culprit would produce no other impression upon the spectators than that which they would experience in seeing a statue flogged.”
And yet, according to the custom of Brittany, which was also general in France, if anyone killed himself inten- tionally, he was hanged by the feet and then dragged like a murderer and his personal effects sold to whoumsoever wished. to purchase them. In some cases he was tied face downward to a hurdle, dragged through the streets be hind a dung cart driven by the public executioner hanged for three hours by the feet from a gibbet erected in the public place, and then thrown into the sewer. It was also ordered that all re- membrance of the deceased should be obliterated and suppressed forever.
But before any such proceeding took place, the cadaver was accorded a fair trial before a judge, whose duty it was to begin by making an official inquiry into the circumstances attending the act of suicide, the place where it oc- curred, the life and habits of the ce- ceased, etc. This having been submit- ted to the king’s procureur, the nearest of kin and the heirs of the suicide were summoned by trumpet to come forward and provide him with a defender. In case they failed to make their appear- ance, the judge appointed a counsel for him, whose duty it was to defend his client to the best of his ability by cross- questioning the witnesses for the prose- cution and offering all the excuses pos- sible in extenuation of the offense, If the accused was found guilty, he was punished in the manner above describ ed: but if he was adjudged innocent, that is to say, if the act of suicide was decided to have been committed ina moment of insanity, he was buried in consecrated ground.
In either case, however, it was neces- sary to preserve the cadaver for the en- tire length of the trial, which sometimes lasted for several months, so that in case the accused was found guilty he might not escape pnishment. Hence the ne- cessity of embalming, or ‘‘salting,” as it was called.
It appears from the old records that the operation and materials used were ns follows: The viscera of the cranial, thoracie and abdominal cavities were removed and the spaces stuffed with tow that had been soaked in a solution composed of one ounce of camphor, two ounces of Socotrine aloes and one gallon of alcohol. Deep incisions were then made in different parts of the body and the latter was packed in salt in a wooden box, which, having been cov- ered and nailed, was formally delivered to the jailer for safe keeping.
This method of preserving cadavers seems to have been successful except in a few inatances in which the case against the accuse, having been put upon the docket, was not reached for several yoars, and not disposed of until the of- fensive state of the remains called at- tention to the necessity of legal action in regard to them.
Speech of an African Prinoe,
Prince Ademuyiwa, of Jebu Remo, in West Africa, was lately entertained at lanch by the lord mayor of London at the Mansion house, then taken ina state coach to the Guildhall, where he sat through a session of the common council, and made steech toit in Eng- lish, which the council directed should be entered on its record. Here is the speech: ‘The Right Honorable Lord Mayor, My Lord and Honorable Mem- hers of the Corporation: I feel I shall not be doing justice to myself and peo- ple if I were to leave this court with- out returning you my hearty and sin-
| ceve thanks for the honor paid me in al-
lowing me here and to seat next the lord mayor. I have been made, while seating here, to believe the more that knowledge is power; that free liberty of speech is the great boon of the English nation ; that the secret of your greatness is the Bible, and that I was not mis- taken when I advised my cousin, the king of Jebu) Remo, an_ indepen- dent native state, West Africa, to ac- cept a British resident, and place the country under her majesty’s protection, and that he will be left to his indepen dence to manage the internal affairs of his kingdom. I again return you my siacere thanks, and wish you God's bles- sing. Good-by.” They Live at Intervals.

SOME FOOLISH SHEEP MEN WHO
An Intensely Sensible Article on the
Sheep Fold and Its Value—An Auimal That Pays as a Sceavenger—Money For
the Farmer,
A great many men are repenting that they ever went into sheep raising and are trying to get rid of them. Jt is the list thing on earth they should repent of. One of the wisest things a farmer can dois to buy e.ght or ten of some mutton breed of sheep and determine that hereafter his family shall have first-class mutton whenever they want it. If half the farmers in every state in the union would each buy ten or twelve mutton sheep and mate them with a buck of any of the mutton breeds, wher- ever they can buy the most convenient- ly, and grow the lambs for meat for the family, they would do the mutton inter- est the best turn that could be done
to it just now. and would do one of the best things they could pos- sibly do for the family. With the
exception of two or three of the hot test months in the year any good sized family or healthy boys and girls can get awsy witha lamb at anytime. It re- quires a little experience to know just how to dress it, but it is an experience than any farmer can easily acquire. The pelts properly tanned would come handy in a good many ways, and there is not a farmer in the country who would miss what asmall flock of sheep of this kind would consume. The fact is that they would save in the way of cleaning up a farm more than they would use. This seems to us to be the true solution of the mutton problem just now. It would not only provide meat for the family, but would give the farmer experience in handling mutton sheep, and when the tide turns, as it will, no matter what congress may do, he would be ready to take advantage ot the advance which must certainly come and put money in his pocket.—National Stockman and Farmer.
Winter Dairying.
Most farmers who have tried winter dairying find that they can get more money either from selling milk or but- t-r from cows that calve in September or October than from those that calve in spring. The summer prices of all dairy products are much lower than they are in winter. Milk must be freshly produced every day. It is equally true of butter that what is well made in winter brings better prices than what is kept over from summer. It is not a difficult matter with ensilage and grain feeding to make yellow butter in winter as good in quality as that made from cows at pasture. The white, poor butter made in winter comes from feed ing the cows on hay mixed with weeds, which injure its flavor. There must also be cows enough so as to require frequent churning. Where milk from one cow only is used the cream has to stand too long before being churned, and z00d butter is impossible from cream thus kept.—American Cultivatgr.
The Separator Creamery.
We favor cooling the cream to a low temperature immediately after separa- tion and ripening it in a few hours, us- ing starter when the season and condi- tion of the milk require it, for the fol- lowing reasons:
1. The solids in cream other than fat are subject to rapid decomposition,
2. This decomposition is not favorable to the keeping quality of whatever it affects.
3. Butter always contains a propor- tion of solid matter that is not fat and the less this has advanced towards de- composition the better the flavor of the butter and the longer will this flavor be retained.
4. This decomposition in cream is very rapid at a high temperature, while at a low temperature it is retarded.—Ontario Dairy School.
The Brewers’ Fat Horses, Among the many horses in Toronto used for drawing brewery wagons, one never sees a thin or oony animal. They are all big, round, sleek looking fellows, apparently capable of drawing twice the amount of beer they do. The reason for it is simple. These horses are fed very largely on what is known as ‘‘brewers grain,” the residue of the brewing process, a nourishing but un- saleable product of the brewery. When the labor of beer-making is ended gal- lops of these grains in liquid form are poured into closed wagons and carried to the stables, where they are fed to the horses. They are fattening and give brewery cart-horses that rotundity which is the marvel of many who do not understand the true cause of it,
Potash ve Soda. a
Prof. Maerker of the Halle experiment station seems to have demonstrated by sume experiments on sugar beets that nitrate of soda had the effect of reduc- ing the contents, while kain‘t was bene- ficial in the desired direction. This seems to be because the plants take up considerable soda from tlie nitrate which unfits them for absorbing a suf- ficiency of potash, and as the latter is necessary for forming sugar and starch, the deficiency appears. In the use of kainit, which contains plenty of soda, the plants seemed to absorb but very lit- tle compared with the potash. It is growing more and more evident that soda cannot take the place of potash as an element of fertility.—American Agriculturist.
To Kill the Smut of Oats,
Please remember before sowing oats in the spring that smut can be killed by holding the seed in hot water of the temperature of 135°, It is to be spread and dried, the spreading being dune at once. The water must be kept at substantially this temperature. Five minutes will answer for a temperature from 125°, while a double time is re- quired if the temperature falls four or tive degrees.— Mirror and Farmer.
