Management OF Crime.

Ii is a curious fact that most of the
crimes of violence-the burgaries, the
murders and such like-have been COM
mitted by men who had served one or
two terms in the penitentiary. The
trial of the Mendocino outlaws has de.
veloped the fact that all of them were
ex-convicts, and two were condemned
murderers One had been paraoned out
by Governor Irwin on condition that he
left the State, which, of cou,so, he had
no intention of doing when he made the
promise All were we'll known to the
police generally, and really and truly
speaking, were known for a long time
to be living on the proceeds of theft, al.
though no direct evidence connecting
them with any robbery could be Oh
| tanned.
These being the facts, It becomes a
whether such men, who arc known to be
preying upon the industrious commun.
ity, and corrupting all with whom they
associate, should he permitted to be at
large, until the preparation of some
trlghtful crime renders it absolutely
necessary to arrest them. They have
10 visible means of subsistence, yet
they are known to live well, and gem
orally to be plentifully provided with
money, and it would seem as though
there should be no scruple as to their
arrest under such circumstances 1t is
also apparen. that the pardoning power
in such cases should be very sparingly
exercised, if at all. The graduates in
crime should not be permitted to extend
the circle of their acquaintance any
further than is absolutely necessary to
further the ends of justice A mans
first offense may be reasonably con-
doned, if any signs of reform are shown,
but these second and third term offenders
should be dealt with very rigorou,ly.-

Think Before You Do It.

The affixing of the stamp is in the
majority of cases the last stage of the
letter-writing. 1t is kind OF sealing,
signing and delivering. 1t would not
be a bad moral habit for man to pause
before affixing his postage stamp, and to
consider whether iudiciously and con-
scientiously he had not better save his
money. When once he has dropped his
letter into the letter-box, he has com
nlittcd one of the irrevocable acts Of his
life. AS you prepare to atiix your
stamp, give one final thought to con-
science whether you might not alter, i'm
prove, or altogether obiteratc that let
ter. There may be all sorts of wrong
and evil connected with letter-writing
but to specialize an instance, you may
have been writing an angry letter. 1t
may be clever, caustic letter, and you
feel rather inclined to regard it ap,rov-
ingly, considered as a literary produc-
ton. But it may be passionate and
unjust letter. 1t may be unreasonable
and untrue. You may be giving UNI
merited pain by sending it. You may
bitterly regret the moments when your
hand obeyed the immoral behest of your
mind. You have heard of the physi.
clans prescription about the cucumber
to peel it carefully, slice it tenderly,
be singerly with your vinegar and plen-
teous with the oil, sprinkle the pepper,
brown or red, over it-and then fling
the mess out of the window. SO when
you sit down to your letter, my dear
and slightly excited friend, pile up the
invectives, accumulate your adjectives,
and be caustic and cutting in your
phrases but just before you post it,
give a thought to the ethics of postage
stamp, light your pipe with it, and save
your money.-Harper's Weekly.

The Fcther of Nihilism.

There was an interesting and I'M
usual service yesterday forenoon in the
Greek Russian Orthodox Chapel in Sec
ond avenue. Father Bjeering, the priest
of that chapel, celebrated requiem
service in memory of Nicholas Tcher-
nischeflsky, the great Russian Nihilist
author who recently died in Siberia, who
is often called the "Father of Nhiism"
and who is said to have had more innu-
ence over the intelligent classes CT
Russia than any other writer on that
subject. The death OF misunderstanding
toolk place in the month Of January last
in a small Siberian village, on the
farthest outskirts of that f;lroff land.
He had been condemned to fourteen
years penal servitude on the charge of
publishing books and pamphlets against
the despotism of the Gar. During
these fourteen years he was forced to
work in chains in the mines, and was
subjected to hardships that even
there were considered of an ex-
emplary kind. At the expiration
of his tenn Of Punishment and pun
ishment, the feeble constitution
of this distinguished Russian Republi-
can author had been completely ruined,
and death soon came to his release.
The present Gar had special detesta
ton for ENTHUSIASTICALLY and he was
correspondingly esteemed by that large
body of Russians who agreed with his
views. During his exile in Siberia, sew
eral attempts were made by the Nlhilists
to bring about his escape, but they were
all unsuccessful.
The services held here yesterday in
his memory by Father Bjerring, which
was in the nature of requiem accord
ing to the Russian rite, was impressively
rendered, especially the passages ,e-
ferring to the tears shed over the de-
ceased, to his entrance. among the saints
in paradise, and to the eternal memory
in which he will be held among men.
Among the Russians present on the
occasion were several who are, or have
been, in the service of the Cars Gov
eminent.
The requiem of yesterday in New
York, in memory of Tchernischehsky,
will be the only thing of the kind asso-
ciated with his name, as it would not be
tolerated in any part of the Russian
Empire. York Sun, March s.

of the boots. The presentation was made,
and the lovers were happy, as lovers
should be. But mark the sequel. The
girl examined the boots in the daylight,
and was rot satisfied. She was con-
WINGED that her lover had been cheated
in the purchase of such pair of boots
at that price. She decided to 90 and
change them and obtain better bar
gain. The next day she appeared in The
store and solicited pair of boots, price
four dollars and politely returned the
boots for which she said her husband had
paid five dollars. The receipted bill
was produced, and the boot man found
it was impossible to go behind the re-
turns" The smart girl took her four
dollar pair of boots and obtaining dol
lar in money, went home happy and sat
isfed. The boot man sent bill for
three dollars to the young man, who
promptly paid the difference, but he
thinks that girl knows more than he
thought, although he has been going

Female Suffrage IN Wisconsin

Wisconsin must in future be set down
as the champion female suffrage State.
While Massachusetts and Connecticut
and New York and other States have
been doing out small installments OF
what is called Justice to women, accord
i.s, " tne Scn.i.. sOA-une petty conces-
sons of the right to serve upon school
boards. and to vote when they possess a
certain amount Of property the lesis-
lature of the Badger State has at bound
set aside the scrupics of the more con.
sentative commonwealth, and without
regard to previous condition of servi-
tude, race, religion or sex, declared that
in .heir opinion women are as fully en-
titled to exercise the right of r'frage as
men. A resolution to this effect has
been almost unanimously passed by the
two Houses of the Legislature, and we
are told by the local journals that the
passage of the bill was greeted in the
Senate with thunders of applause by tho
fair occupants OF the galleries. The
question is not, however, definitely de-
cided, for it seems the trifing obstacle
of the State Constitution stands in the
way, and it will be necessary to amend
that instrument before the women Of
Wisconsin can enter upon the full Gu
reer of life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness. 1t will be the fault of the
women themselves, if they do not win
in the coming contest.

How to "Finish' a Daughter.

l. BE always telling her how pretty
she is
2. Instill in her mind proper love
Of dress
3. Accustom her to so much pleasure
that she is never happy at hore
4. Allow her to read nothing but
novels
5. Teach her all the accomplishments
but none of the utilities of life.
6. Keep her in the darkest ignorance
of the mysteries Of housekeeping.
T. Initiate her into the principle tina.
it is vulgar to do anything for herself.
8. To strengthen her in the latter be-
lief, let her have lady's maid
g. And lastly, having given her snch
an education, marry her to a clerk upon
five hundred dollars year, or lieu

If, with the above careful training,
your daughter is not FINISHED you may
be sure it is no fault Of yours, and you
must look upon her escape as nothing

The Manufacture CT C-rsets.

Formerly all corsets sold by merchants
in this country came from Europe. So
late as 1867 there were but four fac
tories in the United States-two in
Massachusetts, and the remainder IN
this city. One of them belonged to
Isaac Strouse, the other to Harmon d
Baldwin. The capital of the four con-
concerns did not exceed $4,000, nor
furnish employment to more than 800
persons. Now there are twenty facto-
tories in the country, using capital OF
$1,000, 900, and employing more than
10000 operatives. Nine of these are
located in this city, six in Birmingham,
and two in Bridgeport The nine fac
tories represent capital of S75o,Ooo,
and employ 4,500 operatives, who are
paid $4,000 monthly. The daily pro
duction of the twenty factories is esti-
mated at 10000, which is equivalent
to product of 100000 corsets in
the United States, allowing 500 working
DAYS in the year. These statistics,
which are largely within bounds,
show the benefits OF protection.
When an al valorem tariff was
imposed on corSets the business
here was small and importations
large. The attention of Hon. S. w.
Kellogg was called to the subject, and
that gentleman secured the passage OF
an act imposing specific duty of 81 per
dozen on foreign corsets. This protec
ton gave confidence to capitalists. and
the business increased and fourished

Snow Storms.

Snow storms have more than once
played an important part in history. AT
Townton, the decisive battle of the wars
of the Roses, the Lancastrian soldiers,
having the snow driven in their faces
by strong wind, fell upon each other
by mistake, and were easily routed. In
one of the numerous wars between Den
mark and Sweden, the Danes escaatied
Swedish fortress at night by means of
the snow that made drift against tie
wall. One of the Jacobite mobiles con-
demned after the rising of l7l5, was
saved by snow storm, which delayed
the arrival Of the death warrant for two
days, during which time his friends con-
trived his escape. Napoleon's column
of attack at Evlau in 1907, which should
have fallen upon the Russian flank, was
so blinded by the driving snow, as to
come out right in front OF the great cen
trail battery, and was almost extermina-
ted. The same cause occasioned the
French defeat at Paltusk, month ear
Ter, while the destruction of the British
army by the Afghans, in 1912, was ma.
terially aided by snow storm which
blockaded the passes several fathoms
deep, rendering any help from India i'm.
possible.
