Y., Oct. 23.—A case which, from the manner of its trial and the proofs adduced, has attracted considerable attention, has been concluded im the Court of Sessions here. In May last, In the town of Clayton, James Francis Ryan, twenty-four years of age, was Jailed on a most serious charge, and after ’a week's imprisonment began to play the insanity dodge. Lawyer T. F. Kearns, of this city, finally secured the appoint- iment of a commission to inquire into the prison- €r’s mental condition. ‘This commission sent for Dr. Blumer, of the Utica Asylum for the Insane. ‘The doctor applied what is Known as the ether lest, which consists in administering the drug and then noting the condition of the tuent’s mind as he comes under its influence. | It ciaimed that @ patient has no control over the Voluntary action of the mind while passing into te sem-comatose condition that ether produces, and that it can thus be readily ascertained whether he is rational or not. Dr. Blumer at once pro- nounced Ryan to be of sound mind, and so testined at the Wal The prisoner's counsel made a stropg argument against allowing Dr. Blumer's evidence, on the grounds that the constitution of the state Prohibits tue ether test, and that the testimony thereon was unlawful, "He said that the prisoner Was shackled and forced vo take ether, and had been Unreatened with bodily barm to get him to make a statement in the nature of a confession. ‘The court, however, allowed the testimony, and u it the prisouer was convicted and sentenced to nineteen Years in Auburn prison, Lombardo is Puzzled but Pleased.

As they were walking tothe train Mr. happening to glance down at hiz coat, uttered a vigorous exclamation, and added, “I ‘thought you promised to sew that loose button on my coat.

What you women ever do with your memories I don’t see. Probably they're Sangh cre cious t use.” And Mr. Jenkins relapsed into silence and a perusal of the morning paper. ‘When they were leaving the train Mrs. Jenkins said meekly: “If you are not too busy to-day, Joho, I wish you would stop at Polisher’s and get my lace pin.

The Weight of the Loaf as Compared with the Flour Used. From the Philadelphis Ledger, An English correspondent writes concerning the Tegulation of bread weight by law as follows: “The baker buys bis flour by the sack of 280 pounds, and, after adding water salt and yeast to At, there will be from 420 to 440 pounds of dough, according to the quality of the flour. Fora quar- tern loaf this dough 1s weighed off in pieces of 4 pounds 6 ounces, the odd ounces being found to be the losss of moisture by baking. For half a quartern loaf half the weight of dough is taken. I may udd that some bakers allow 7 or 8 ounces for loss while baking, according to the shape of the loat or length of time the bread is in the oven. From an extensive knowledge I know this weighing Off the dough is most carefully performed. After this is done the loaves will not all come out of the Mill the oven, and nearly the same time asthe oven can have but one loavas that go in first are taken out last; half an hour's more baking will lighter than the others. Again, ‘an oven will be hotter than another, or may be hotter than the front; or if the have afresh flour it may dry out in bakil jore than another kind. Again, in welghing o however clever a man ‘may be, he can- not cut off from the mass exaculy 4 pounds and 6 ounces, and the piece or pieces he adds to make ‘Welgbt sometimes do not adhere to the proper loat and get ‘moulded’ or made up wish the wrong loaf; sothatif one be light weight the other will be overweight. Now an important point, It does not follow that in purchasing a loaf of short Weight the buyer 1s defrauded, From the few points I have mentioned it 1s clear there 18 as much nutriment in a short. weight loaf as in one of full weight; there 1s Jess water, thatis all. How moisture affects the Weight of bread I will show. Prof. Richardson gives some experiments as to how the moisture of the atmosphere affects the weight of flour, and, though he gives no experiments as to bread, it 15 self-evident that a huinid or dry atmosphere will affect it, though I admit not to the same extent. At 10 ain. on March 28, 1880, samples of flour were Weighed. One weighed 99.6 pounds. At the same time next day—the flour had not_veen moved or touched—this sample welgned 105.85 pounds, An- otuer sample during tie sane period rose from 10215 pounds to 107.7 pounds; another from 100.06 pounds to 107.16 pounds. ‘These same sam- ies gained dally in welght up to 10 a.m. on March 27, when they Weighed respectively 107.22 pounds, 108.80 pounds, and 109.66 pounds, ‘The next day, March 28, at 1 o'clock, a change of weather having ‘occurred, they fell to 100.37 pounds, 103.62 pounds, and 101.86 pounds respectively. ‘The point I wisi 48 that these flours show short- ht Dread does not necessarily defraud the public, unless, of course, the short-weight were excessive.” AMERICAN WEIGHT. In the barrels of flour sold here the usual weight, 196 pounds, makes about 270 pounds of dough. If 4t 18 poor flour it will take up less water. The Practice of bakers used to be to add $3 to the cost ‘Of the Darrel for the labor and to divide the dough into the number of loaves necessary to repay that sum, Either their loaves would be smaller, or the same size sold for a higher price, to make the fixed profit when flour rose in price. The English correspondent above quoted on to say: “Some of the latest_ machine introduc- ons in the trade are those for welghing to the utmost nicety these pieces of dough for ‘mould- ing’ into loaves, ‘These machines cost considera- Diy over $500 each. Everywhere the baking trade 43 endeavoring, and succeeding, too, in leaving behind the did and unsuitabie ‘methods ot Dreadmaking, and at an enormous expense to themselves te bakers are doing all they can to Secure that the public shall have the best, the healthiest and most nutritious bread that can be made; and a8 an illustration, there is within haif ‘a mile of the houses of parliainent a bakery which for hygienic appliance and for architectural beauty is unsurpassed in the world. This bakery has cost nearly $100,000 in building. Nor is it a solitary example, fur every day all over the country new and expensive bakeries, fitted with the most _per- fect appliances that hygiene and science can sup- Ply, are being erected. | ‘These altered conditions necessitate the repeal of restrictive and injurious laws. ‘The fixing of weight by law has had the effect of turning the public mind from the ques- Uon of quality to that or quantity.” A Carpet Knight's Lesson. From the London World. The name of Harry Oakes 1s not yet forgotten in the army—a bluff, straight-spoken soldier, who some twenty years ago commanded the 12th Lan- cers, This is how he dealt with tne point now so much at issue. A young officer? complained that while in plain clothes acgrtain soldier had not saluted him. The soldier's excuse was that he had ‘not recognized the officer. “I'll take care you can’t make that excuse in future,” quoth Colonel Gakes. “Mr. —, you Will walk up'and down the barrack- square in plain clothes until Private — 1s satls- Sed that be will know you again,” The private gave the officer a benefit of about half an hour, aud all he conceded then was his ability to recognize the former in the suit he then ‘ore. “If you are not satisfied,” said the colonel, ‘you Will appear in the Cg tor ten minutes in cack citiian sult you ow: whenev: rot fnew suit you will do the’ same, ata Wee prvACo know.” ‘Ihe young officer uever complained again of not getting what he considered lis proper due io the matter of salutes. Letters of Introduction. ‘From the Loston Courier. ‘The reckless and {responsible way in which Peopie write notes of introduction cannot be too strongly condemned, and it 1s rapidly throwing a distrust on this whole system of making people acquainted, ‘The man who gives a letter of intro- duction has not only drawn upon his credit, so to say, in his friend’s feeling of kindness toward him, Dut he has become responsible for the man he resents. Many persons are inclined to assume at they can only be held responsible for the strict wording ot thelr note, as if the recipient could half receive the acqualitance they only halt endorse. The truth is that the fact of having pre- sented & man at all is in itself a ciaim which they have no right to press without being assured tat the character of the person for who they stand for will bear out the natural inferences to be drawn, from the fact thas he nas been given a written and formal endorsement. Of course at the bottom of this evil lies not a disposition to impose on a friend, but a lack of courage to refuse a favor to another when such a favor Would be looked upon as a personal reflec Uon. An eccentric old gentleman, who was ex- ceedingiy scrupulous in regard to tuts matter al- ‘Ways couched his refusal to give a letter of intro- duction in the words: “I am very sorry not to be able to oblige you, but 1am convinced that you and the friend to whom you ask a letter would not be compatable.” ‘The phrase was ambiguons, Dut Avserved as well as another. ‘The Tefdoal was the main thing, and that the gentleruan—being a gen- Ueman—aiways insisted upon when he felt tbat the acguaintanceship he was asked to bring about, Would not be agreeable to the recipieat of the letter of introduction as well as \o the bearer, ‘The matter has often been touched upon; but, 80 far from the evil's decreasing, it seems rather vo be growing. People are eudeavoring to balance their inorai laxness in this case by lessening the ‘Weight of presentation notes, and the Ume seems to be not so far distant when these convenient and necessary credentials Will have no weight what- ever. It 1s, of course, idle to hope to stay the gen- eral tendeucy of things by remonstrance. The only thing that can be done is to impress upon in- dividuals the need of establishing for themselves the reputation of being so particular that their notes of introduction shall be absolute guarantees. A man has even less right to overdraw on & Irtend’s regard than on his account in the bank. ‘The dishouesty is much tue same in both cases; Dut, in the latter, there is a betrayal of trust which it 48 hard to forgive.
