Crime in France,
London News.

A singular and interesting table of statistics
has just been published in Paris. The budget
of French crime has been brought out, and
the political economy ofpunishment supplied
with a fresh instaument of facts and figures.
A criminal budget extending over five years
supplies Us with a rough average from which
we may make our own deductions. The
Chancellor OF this Criminal Exchequer
points to his budget with pride, and,
like other dealers in figures and
tables, is anxious to show that there
is no cause for alarm or dependency
The population of France may be roughly
stated at about 100000 and the annual
average crop of murders is about 200, of in
fanticides about 100, and of unjustifable
homicides about 123. 1t is curious to find
how very little variation there is in the annual
harvest ofcrime. Thus, in the gravest charge
300 was the greatest returns of murderers,
and 195 the least, and there is the same equal
ity of proportion in the other categories.
The return gives emphasis to this fact as ex-
planning the singular circumstance that in
the course of five years there were almost the
same number of capital sentences carried out
AT the last census the population of Great
Britain amounted to 100000, but the
number of murders was by no means so uni
form. 1t would be consolation for q
Frenchman to know that only one in million
of his fellow-countrymen is guillotined, were
it not that ''extenusting circumstances" leave
a wide margin of doubt.

One OF the strongest and most reliable
houses in the drug trade, and one most emil
nently successful in introducing medicines
of merit to the people of Texas. is the "Dr.
Harier Medicine Company, of st. Louis -
The one to which it is now direct
ing most attention is "Dr. Harter's Iron
Tonic" remedy for debility and prostra-
ton and ali the ills peculiar to a system in
capable OF performing its regular functions.
This remedy is nothing new; it Is we'll
known, Endorsed by the medical profession,
aud recommended by them for many infirmi-
ties peculiar to women. The advertisement
OF the tonic, which appears elsewhere, con-
taiDs two testimonials from this class of
sufferers, which are worth perusal "Dr.
Harter's Iron Tonic" is q preparation of iron
and calissya bark in ombination with the
phosphates, ingredients which denote it to
be invaluable to weakened constitutions in
those countries where the summers and
heated terms are protracted and the winters

The Interchangeable Birds.

There is something almost pathetic in the
fact that the birds remain forever the same.
You grow old, your friends die or move to
distant lands, events sweep on and all things
are changed. Yet there in your garden or
orchard are the birds of your boyhood, the
same notes, the same calls, and, to all intents
and purposes, the identical birds endowed
with perennial youth.
The swallows that build so far out Of your
reach beneath the caves of your fathers barn,
the same ones now squeak and chatter be-
meath the caves of your barn. The warblers
and shy wood-birds you pursued with such
glee ever so many summers ago, and whose
names you taught to some beloved youth
who now perchance sleeps amid his native
hills, no marks of time or change cling to
them; and when you walk out to the strange
woods, there they are, hooking you with
their ever-renewed and joyous youth.
The call of the high-holes, the whistle of the
quail, the strong piercing note of the mead
ow-lark, the drumming of the grouse-how
these sounds ignore the years, and strike on
the ear with the melody of that spring time
when the world was young, and life was all
holiday and romance.

the same rule applies to all fowls in the cold
season. Take great care to cook your pcul-
try thoroughly, for nothing is more revolt
ing to the palate than UNDERGONE poultry.
When poultry is to be kept for day or
more in summer after buying in town clean
it at once, wash it out in water in which a
little cooking soda has been dissolved and
put piece of charcoal inside before laying
it on the ice; if this is done it is almost i'm
possible that it should become tainted. The
danger is in taking it off of the ice on
which the poultry dealer mas kept it and
not putting it Immediately upon ice again.

been suggested by any official OF either road.
On the contrary every man connected with
either road, from the president down to the

of both roads are opposed to anything of the
kind. Every stockholder of the Boston &
Maine who does not hold an amount of East

Any such action of the directors would have
to be ratified by the stockholders of both roads
and by the Legislatures Of three States-Maine
