The Curr murder case being on. the Court-room was as full as the constables would permit. Hattie Jefirey. who looks as it her confinement had done her good. came into Court neatly attired, and took a seat in the prisoner's dock. John Falvey also seems to have braced up since his incarceration in Castle Green. He was allotted a seat beside Mrs. Jeffrey. Detective Rsburn. who has worked indelatigably on thls case. assisted Crown Counsel Irving with the case. and Mr. E. F. Galbraith appeared for the defence.

He failed to positively identity either Mrs. Jeffrey or Fulvey as the persona he he saw querrelling opposite his house.

The trial of the prisoners Falvey and Hattie Jeffery was continued this morning before Mr. J ustioe Cameron. but the evidence TIIB TORONTO TRAGEDY. was not of of a new or interesting nature. The deal and dumb man,George Brcmtield.was recalled and confronted with the testimony given by him at the inquest. He was very contradictory. and at the con olusion of his examination Mr. Galbraith submitted that the evidence was wholey insufficient to establish the identity of the prisoners with the murderers. and without calling any witnesses tor the defence asked that the Crown be nomenited. His Lordship *concurred. and in addressing the jury told them that the main witness. Bromfield. wa's unreliable. and that his testimony was so disjointed that no weight should be attached to it. After other witnesses he did not consider that the stories connected the prisoners directly with the crime. He then instructed the jury to return a verdict of acquittal, which they did without leaving the box, and the prisoners were discharged. Jealousy 0! a Divorced “1“: and [In Results.

Tux native Japanese pepers state that the tree lrom which the lacquer varnish is ohialned is disappearing. and an outcry is making against " the exiinction of the lacquer industry.” Like lhe mulberry tree (silk-worm’s food) it was formerly pro- tected by law. The upper class families were ”obliged to rear 100 trees. the middle class 70. and the lower class 40." The law having fallen into disuse. the cultivation of the lacquer tree has fallen away and the price of lacquer has been “ enormously increased." Tux professors of the University of Jena, who have been investigating the effect of tobacco upon the human system, report that moderate quantities of the weed may be used without injurious effects. They say that in the German army soldiers in active service are very properly furnished with smoking tobwoo, because smoking en- ables them to endure severe fatigue upon smaller nutrition and with greater alacrity and confidence than would otherwise be the case.

OUR periodical " numberings o! the peeple" never fail to be attended by epi- sodes o! a curious and ludicrous character; ‘ but, as might be expected, an Indian census-taking has its own peculiarities. During the recent enumeration in the Pun- jaub. for instance, a native official returned a village pond as an “ inhabited house," and when called upon for an explanation justified himself on the ground that he had found the pond in question occupied by a lasir. who announced his intention of re- ‘mainiug in the water till the unholy rites {of the census were over. Tun sensible housewife “keeps things “cool" for herself and her family by letting in the night air through wide open doors and windows. and keeping the doors closed and the blinds shut during the glare of the day. There are many other small points, the observance of which adds to the comfort of hot weather living. By starting five minutes earlier for the car, hurry is avoided. and nothing heats like hurry, as the blazing faces and streaming brows of the late comers in cars and on the boats testify.

And now the Paris corres- pondent of the London Globe writes that the man is not only still living. but that he is furnished with an artificial face, which includes false eyes. a false palate and false teeth, with several other things nearly as false as the correspondent's story. For it is further and coolly narrated that by means of this completely equipped mask the man can smell. speak in a natural tone and even play on the flute.
