But the Moslems came down to 800,000 Lezants, and. in the end, by surrendering Damietta, Louis got off for 100,000 marks—equal, 3 43:5 to of today.

The Sat- urday Review. Grisly Legislation. Two most extraordinary bills were introduced in the Ohio Legislature. The first bill provided for the abolish. ment of hanging as a penalty in cases of capital punishment, and substi. tuted the use of anwmsthetics and vivisection. The murderer was to be turned over to the doctors, who would deprive him of consciousness by the use of anwsthics and then ex- periment with him to their hearts’ content. The other bill was similar to the first, but less radical, and gave the murderer the choice be- tween death by electrizity and death by anwsthetics and vivisection This I have a tired, worn-out feeling.

It says. “1 am old enough to know that the joys and pleasures of lifears evanescent and to realize the fast that it must be comfortable in oid axa to believe in something relative to the future and to have a faith in some system that proposes to save, Iam free to confess that I would be bappler if I could exercise the simple and beautiful faith that fs possessad by many whom I know. I am not willingly out of the church or out of the fnith, My state of uncertainty is one of nn rest, Sometimes I doubt my immortality and look upon the deathbed as the closing soene, after which thers is nothing. What shall I do that I have not done, Ab, skepti« cism is a dark and doleful Jand! Let me say that this Bible Is either trae or false, If it be false, we are as well 6ff as you ; IT it be tre, then which of us is safer? Let me also ask whether your trouble hae not boon that you confounded Christianity with the inconsistent sharaster of some who rofess it, You are s lawyer.

You are a dontor., There are unakilled and contempti- ble men lo your protession, Is that anything neninst medicine?
