Crimes Committed by Series.

Another curious phenomenon revealed by
French criminal statistics is that certain
classes of crimes occur by series. We had
not long ago Il series of murders i'll which the
victims were c%ocottes, and just now we are
having IL series of old women murders. There
are those who say that each author of I'll
original crime produces Il sort of hypnotism
among the mass of criminals who appropri-
ate and initiate his manner This strange
influence eXertcd over tempcranlents which
seem to nave been predcstincd to commit
crimes has nothing abnormal about it; its
workings lave been noticed i'll persons who
wcrc perfectly honest. A year or so agoa
lady was caught stealing i'll one of the large
stores; her honesty was above question and
her means were ample enough to permit her
to salty amy caprice.
What shc had stolen were little tritles of
10 great value, and shc declared that rs she
was looking at the articles and on the point
of speaking to the salesman whose back was
turned, to ask their price, she perceived a
handsomely dressed lady standing alongside
| of her who was hiding something under her
cloak. She was about to dcuounce the thief
when the latter fixed her eyes Oh her in ~

Borax for tho Laundry.

The %washwomen of Holland and Belgium,
SO proverbially clean, and who get up their
linen SO beautifully white, use refined borax
instead OF soda, in the proportion of one
large handful of borax powder to about ten
gallons of boiling water. They save in soap
nearly half. For laces, cambrics and lawns,
an extra quantity of powder is used, and for
crinolines requiring to DO made stiff, q strong
solution is necessary. Borax, being aneutral
salt, does not in the slightest degree inj,ue
the texture Of the linen. Its effect is to soften
the hardest water.-Boston Budget.

the open air. Walking would soon warm
them up, and the discomfort felt would en-.
courage that cssentia exercise, which is most
enjoyable at this season.
'kccptilc head cool and the feet wavm.'
Here is another antique health saying. To
keep tho feet warm is certainly an essential
to health, but about having the head cool in
winter is Il matter of discussion. The head
certainly should he comfortably covered.
Probably the Derby hat, SO popular, would
be Il sufficient protection, even i'll midwinter,.
for those men who walk much, or whose
work is largely indoors. For car drivers and
others, who are much exposed to fierce winds,
thick, warm hats or caps arc absolutely
needed. They might wear fur caps, but men
who arc not constantly forced to encounter
such hardsiiils as they certainly do not need
head coverings of fur and are infinitely bet
ter without them; for there arc many daysin
winter when they arc uncomfortable, keep
the head too warm, and hence are productive
of colds. Every ono knows that, when the
feet are not properly protected, Il cold is the
common consequence. Ii the head is iusutli-
GENTLY covered, the same result is scarcely
less certain.
At the present day, but few ladies pretend
to cover their heads, even ill wintcr-tlo
fashionable bonnet is surely no protection.
Much sic:ncSs among them is due to that
neglect, and where it occurs with cotton
stockings and thin shocS-anl, therefore, cold
fcct-it is surprising that so foolish Il person
lives through one of our hard winters.
Among Shakers, and other classes of women
who pretend to wear comfortable head cover
ings, there is infinitely less sickness than
among their fashionable sisters, and much Of
the immunity is clearly a%ssisnablc to this
difference in dress. Heaven hasten the day
when women will correct this most g%rievous
fault of theirs and return to hoods, or some
thing like them, for winter wear. AS for
keeping the shoulders and upper part of tho
chest amply protected from the cold, women
know we'll its Importance to health, and
nothing which can be written will influence
them in the slightest d~egrcc.-Boston Herald.
