TaImage on Crime.

Extravagances account for the posi-
tive crimes, the forgeries, and the alb
.condings of the officers of banks The
store on Broadway and the Office on
Wall street are swamped by the resi-
dence on Madison Square. The
fathers, the husbands craft capsized
by carrying too much domestic sail.
That is what springs the leak in the
merchants money-till. That is what
cracks the pistols of suicides. Taat is
what tears down marine banks. That
is what stops insurance companies
That is what halts this nation again
and again in its triumphal march of
prosperity. Look at the one fact that
it is a matter of solid statistics thai in
this country, in the cities of New York
and Brooklyn will narrow it down
it is estimated that there are over
five thousand women whose apparel
costs them over two thousand dollars a
year each. Things have got to such a
pass that when we cry over cur sins
in church, we wipe the tears away
with one hundred and fifty dollar

A Queer Little Follow.

Isn't it a queer little fellow who
knows everything As soon as he's born
and builds house for himself before
he's one day old?
Everything about him is curious.
To begin with, he lives at the bottom
of a pond or river. At first he was
nothing but a tiny atom of green
egg, stuck to the stem o. weed under
the water. After a while the egg
bursts open, out crawlel Mr.. Worm
and proceeded at onre to look for
building materials.
You see, except his head and neck,
which are protected by hard cover
ing, he is soft little worm and he
wouldn't live long in the same pond
with fish and bugs and spiders. who
have nothing to do but eat and are
always hungry, unless he had safe
home, SO of course he goes the first
thing to building. He hunts up the
dead leaves and CLUES them together in
such way as to leave nice cozy
house between. It's perfectly safe,
for who would suspect an old dead leaf
being anybody's house?
No sooner is the house done than
Mr.. Worm moves in. He doesn't have
to wait for painters and furniture
men-happy fellow! he Just goes in
and fastens himself there by means of
a pair of hooks he has at the end of
his tail and then he's ready to live.
The next thing is something to eat. So
he starts off, taking his house with
him, to hunt up some bits of green
stuff or some atom Of worm smaller
than he is.
But strange things happen to this
bit of a worm at the bottom of a
pond. His life is full of wonderful
adventures. If he were bigger he
would be the wonder of the world.
After eating as much as he can, Mr..
Worm thinks it time to retire from the
gay world; 50 he finishes his house by
hanging before it a silk door-no loose
curtain, but a tightly-woven net work,
which he spins and fastens carefully
on every side.
Whether he goes to sleep in his
comical little home, or what he does,
nobody knows, because nobody can
peep in, you know But something
goes on there in the dark; for after
awhile the little prisoner opens the
