Is largely a matter a l good sanitation. The
best modern plumbing fixtures are designed not only
to look w ell and to wear well, but also to afford
hygienic conditions o f the highest possible standard.
It ia impossible to secure
good s a n ita ry conditions
with cheap plumbing. Fine
plumbing fixtures and good
workmanship are expensive,
but the far-sighted house
holder chooses them because
they afford a fe e lin g o f
mnitary security that is in
estimable.
You want only the best plumbing fo r your home,
and you may obtain it by having us install fUrndmUt

In there days of criminal trials
long drawn out it may not be unin
teresting to glance back at a time
when, in England at least, com
plaint ran in the opposite direction.
Such were the earlier years of
Queen Victoria, when the old crimi
nal code still survived in much o f
its archaic barbarity and the pio-
luresqueues* oi legal procedure in
adequately compensated fo r its cru
elty, sey* London Tit-Bite.
The lete Lord Brampton, better
known ee Sir Henry Hawkins, re
fer« in his reminiscences to the
scandal of whet he calls the "a fte r
dinner" trials of that period.
It
wes then the custom for the court
to adjourp fo r dinner at 5 o'clock,
at which meal there was no lack
of conviviality, so that when the
bench and bar returned to their du
ties they were in no mood fo r p ro
tracted toil.
In Lord Brampton's own words,
es and counsel were exhilarat-
and business was proportionately
accelerated."
In confirmation of
this be notes that these "a fte r din
ner’’ trials did not occupy on an
average more than four minutes
apiece and in illustration citee an
actual case, the paltry nature .o f
which, contrasted with the enormi-
of the punishment involved,
rows a lurid light on the inhu
manity of th? times.
The case was that of a pick
pocket, in which the prisoner had in
considerately pleaded "N o t guilty,”
and therefore had a right to be
heerd. W e may quote Lord Bram p
ton’s account, beginning with the
examination of the witness fo r the
prosecution
by the prosecuting
counsel:
" I think you were w a lk in g 'u p
Ludgate hill on Thursday, the 25th,
about 3:30 in the afternoon and
suddenly felt a tug at your' pocket
and
missed ‘ your
handkerchief,
which the constable now produces ?”
“ Yes, air."
“ T suppose you have nothing to
msk him?" says the judge. “ Next
2
doubt ? I have none.”
Jury — Guilty, my lord.
Judge .to prisoner)— Jones, we
have met before; we shall not meet
again for gome time. Seven years’
transportation. Next case.
Time— Two minutes fifty-three
seconds. As this seems to be a rec
ord it ia only fair to add that the
jndge’s name was Muirhouse.

Some yean ago an old French
woman died in a poor part of Dub
lin, and her little effects were put
up for auction. Among other odds
and ends waa a necklace o f dirty
looking green atones, which did not
attract much attention. However,
shrewd pair of dealers thought
there might be "money in i f ' and
decided on purchasing, clubbing to
gether £5 for the purpose. On tak
ing it to a well known jeweler he
promptly offered £1,500, which sum
they refused and sold the necklace
of purest emeralds for £7,000 in
London, where Lord Roaebery on
his marriage purchased it for some
thing like £20,000. The old French
woman’s mother bad been attached
to the court o f France, and the em
eralds had once formed part of the
crown jewels.— London Answers.

rested the hand

recognize the

ment. which he purchased for a few
cents. Tod a the priceless manu-
script is in's glass case al the B r it
