“atolls told. His wife was a
p m of the Whole transaction, but
‘moved not a finger to prevent him
carrying out his purpose. When ex-
amined by the coroner at the inquest
which to the suicide, she ad—
mitted freely that she could have
prevented the act, but did not. When.
she saw what her husband’s inten—
tion was, she merely remarked. “Not
that, dear.” His reply was, “If you
. love me, you will let me do it.” and
she did. Without another protest
she watched the suicide put the pis-
‘bltohishead and fire, but did not
attempt any interference. When
asked by the coroner if she could
have prevented him had she tried.
her reply was. “Certainly. but I
should have considered myself a
onward and a brute if I had inter-
fered.” .
It does not appear that any further
' gswere taken in the case
afteraverdict of suicide had been
returned by the coroner’s jury.
Doubtless in the eye of the law the
woman was an accessory to the act.
Had the law been invoked against ‘
her she could have been held and
punished assuch. But the question
by all the facts is, What
was the extent of her moral respon-
sibility in the case? Are the friends
of the dying bound to stand by and
see that their sufferings and dying
agony are prolonged by every means
that professional skill and scientific
knoWledge can conceive of when in
any case it is well known that the
term of their earthly existence is a
question of a few hours at most, and
that they can never rise from their
bedsof sufieringi Some otherwise
good people have recently been bold
enough to affirm that no moral prin-
ciple would be outraged. but an act
of mercy performed, if under such
circumstances some strong antes-
thetic were administered. even if the
result was the cessation of the heart
pulsations a few minutes sooner than
would otherwise he the case.——Chi-

The Experiment Proved Expensive.
A lawyer took in a new boy the
other day. and as he had sufiered to
some extent from the depredations
of the former one be determined to
the new lad‘s honesty at once.
He therefore placed a £5 note under
a weight on his desk and walked out
without saying a word. Upm his
retin'n half an hour later the note
had gone, and half a crown was in
its place.
“Boy. when I Went out I left £5
under this weight!"
“Yes, sir. But, you see. you hadn't
gone five minutes when a man came
in with a bill against you for £4 17s.
(id. I think the change is correct."
“You—~paid a hill '1”
“Yes, sir. There it is. all receipted.
The man said it had slipped your
mind the last four years. and so"——-—

was rushed down the stairs. and he

The Wrong Person.
An acquaintance said to me the other
day:
“My husband has been worrying a great
deal about’ business of late and has had
several mysterious meetings in the parlor-
with closed doors.
"Last night he was particularly nervous
and kept saying during dinner:
“ ‘1 shall be glad when 7 o'clock comes,
for I expect amcst important party then. i
think he can make everything all right!'
“Just about than the girl came in and
said that she had shown a gentleman into
the parlor.
“ ‘Thnt’s he,’ said my husband. jumping
up. ‘Now I must go in and introduce my
self. I’ve never met him.’
“Well. take your coffee first.‘ I cried.
but he wouldn’t.
"He (lashed down stairs. and I followed
him unseen. for l was anxionstoo.
“I listened in the back parlor, and this is
what I heard:
“ ‘Mr. —-——.’ in my husband’s voice.
“ ‘No. sir,’ was the stranger's reply.
