Crime In Europe.

London News: From tho new
volume published by the Italian Di-
rector of Statistics, which contains
data from 1873 to 1884, the following
figures are taken respecting murder
and manslaug htcr in the following
countries. The proportion of individu-
ais condemned is for every loo, 900 per-
sons: In Italy, 8.12; France, l.56;
Belgium, 1.7s; Germany, III; Great
Britain, O.6O; Austria, 2.24; Hungary,
600; Spain, 1888. Thus Italy, Spain,
and Hungary have the unenviable pre-
cedence in murder. In offenses against
morality Italy shows more favorably.
The proportion of persons condemned
for such of1enses is: In Belgium, Is. II
in every 100, 900 inhabitants; Germany,
14.O3; France. 9.77; Austria. 9.18;
Hungary. 6.52; Italy, 3.77; England,
Ia; Spain, O,95. Germany occupies
the first place in robbery, the proper
tons being in round numbers: Ger
many, 222; Italy, 154; Great Britain,
147; Belgium, 1928; France, 112;
Hungary, II; Austria, 60; Spain, Sc.
Taking all crimes together Germany is
at the top of the scale and England at
the bottom. The volume, which is
complied with care, shows that crimes
in Italy have sensibly diminished since
1880. The total number of condemna-
tons has decreased in ten years from
1873 to 1884 from 69,O23 to 60. SAB, and
tho proportion for every 10000 in
habitants is reduced from 25. 40 to co. 81.

An Editor on Coffee.

AQ EIuICOE O0 NOH00.
The editor of this paper, who was
brought up as girl to do housework,
knows about as much about that mys-
FERROUS branch of business as the mix
ing of batch of double-ex,ra-con
densed French clarendon, monastic,
cabalistic antique gothic, italic hair
spaces, and were he ever obliged to
earn his bread by the sweat of his brow
could secure a tirst-class situation as
a cook in any family. In his manea-
vers in the arts as practiced in the
kitchen he often wondered at the IN
methodical manner in which every
housewife conducts her business. She
goes through her work year after year
and never knows what q pie. a cake, a
loaf of bread or dinner costs. Thisi is not
the way we should conduct the bust
ness. Perhaps not one out thous-
and even know what cup of coffee is
worth. A good many travellers at
railroad restaurants know what it costs
them, but the cost to produce is anoth-
er thing. 1t costs just one-third of a
cent for a cup of coffee-not counting
tho sugar and milk. Surprising even
the milk was worth the same price as
the coffee, and the sugar the same, a
cup of coffee would not yet cost the
muni6cent of one penny! The price
paid for ono cup such as is sold in
many cheap restaurants would purchase
a gallon. Half a pound of coffee will
make thirty-two cups of good coffee.
How many housekeepers could answer
that question if it was asked them?

Studying the Classics.

The opposition to the study of the an
cient classics, so far as I have been
able to read the essays of recent writ
ers on the subject, is in reality an oppo-
sition to certain unhappy methods of
teaching them. No man who has
learned to read Homer or Demosthenes
in any measure as he would read the
best English or German authors, has
ever regretted it. No man who has
ever learned, through the knowledge of
the Greek language, to appreciate in
any measure the poetry or oratory or
philosophy of Greece has grieved over
the hours spent in gaining that knowl-
edge. l do not myself believe that any
such man to the end of time will ever
have such grief or regret, or will be
otherwise than thankful that his mind
was thus lifted above the one work of
his daily life. The disputes about edu-
cation which have filled the air for the
last few years, we may we'll remember
are not yet ended. It will be q strange
thing in the worlds history if in this
regard the permanent future does not
find its fountain of life in the perma-
nent past President Dwight

Decoivers Ever.

Washington gossips are interested
in q story of real life that is almost as
Interesting to them as yellow back
novel. George W. L. Buckler earns
his living by typewriting and steno-
graphy. He is about q years old, but
looks and talks rs if he were Is or 10.
For some time past he has been paying
attentions to Miss Effie Bassett, who is
beautiful girl of 10. q grand-daugh-
ter of Mr.. Isaac Bassett. the venerable.
assistant doorkeeper of the United
States Senate. Her acquaintance with
young Buckler led to her engagement
to him, and they were to have been
married in q months time. She had
even prepared the greater part of her
trousseau. Some little time ago, how
ever, Georges elder brother, Arthur,
WAS injured in a baseball game End
died. A young lady named Miss Ella
N. MINK, clerk in the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, who had
known George Buckler in former years
and was an old sweetheart of his, al
though through some falling out she
had not seen him for some
time, wrote him note of
coincidence on the death of his
brother. This was read and led to q
meeting. The young mans old affec-
ton for Miss MINK returned and one
day two weeks ago the couple ran
over to Baltimore and were married.
When they returned Buckler called on
Miss Bassett. but said nothing of his
marriage. More than this, he invited
her to 60 to the roller. coaster and she
consented. The next night he spent
the evening at her house and last Sum
day took her to church. Monday how
ever, he wrote her a note telling her
that he could not be happy with her,
that he had married another girl, and
that he hoped she would not mind it
much. That night he and his bride
left the city on their wedding tour.
Miss MINK was to have been married
in two weeks to another gentleman.
and the dress she had prepared for this
wedding she wore when married to
Buckler.

BUSINESS FIRST:

I'm the sweat of thy brow thou shalt
eat bread" comes down to us through
the ages with more of the character of
prophecy, than of command. Under
the observance of this command, only,
has man attained either intellectual
vigor, social prominence or religious
growth. Wherever it has been ignored
by a people, mental and physical de-
generation has resulted. The entire
history of civilization proves this.
Therefore the business and CONNER
cial interests of country are of the
first importance. They stand second
airy to nothing. Wherever business is
most vigorous, healthful and prosper
ors. will be found the highest develop
ment of the oest elements of society.
The locomotive is the most powerful
missionary that ever entered heather
dom. Wherever it goes, christianity
and higher type of civilization is sure
to follow.
True, vices come with it, but the
balance of power is on the side of the
better elements, while before its advent
the balance was on the other side of
the scale. If this is true, and history
proves its truth the first duty of Amer
lean citizenship. is by vote and influ-
ence, to keep in view the promotion in
the highest degree the commercial
interests of the country. In the details
Of government, this end should be
kept in view.: Anything that has a
tendency to unsettle values, to inter-
rupt trade, should so far as practic-
able, be removed by constitutional
enactments. The frequency of cleo
tions, the violence of political
contest should be removed by longer
terms of Office, fewer incentives, of q
lower order, to official positions. When
the country doubles it, present wealth
and population, such constitutional pro
visions will be found absolutely neces.
sary to existence. The sooner measures
OF this nature are established, the
stronger will the nation become.-St
