GERMAN WOMEN'S CRIME.
Not So Prevalent as Among Men,
But Much Too FREQUENT,

But Much Too Frequent.
Statistics just issued by the German
imperial statistical Office regarding the
prevalence of crime during the year
1885 show that the number of female
criminals was in that year four or five
times smaller than that Of males. Dur
ing 1885 2S1, 7SS males were convicted of
miscellaneous infractions OF the law,
While the nvmber of females convicted
was anly 81, 1853. 1t is noteworthy that
there were convictions among unmar-
ried males to among unmarried fe-
males; among married persons the pro-
portion was 3.5 to l, while widows and
WidOwerS were convicted in equal pro-
portion.
Among unmarried persons the crimi-
nal tendencies OF the sexes become more
and more eQualiZed with increasing
age. Thus, while among persons of
eighteen to forty years the male crimi-
nails are to the female as eight to one,
among persons of forty to fifty years the
proportion falls four to one, and among
persons above fifty years old it is three
to one.
The reverse is the case with married
persons, for the difference in criminal
lty is here least between the ages of
eiSHtteu anu twenty-five years. from
the twenty-fifth to the sixtieth year the
proportion is four to one, and then crime
increases to the disadvantage of the
males.
Considering female crime alone, it is
found that the most criminal age is
from thirty to forty years, and the next
to it is that from forty to fifty. Stats
tics for the years 1882 to 1885 show that
female crime prevails most in the duchy
of AEhalt, the principally of Schwarz-
urg-Sonnershausen, and the kingdom
of SaxOny, and the least criminality is
found in the government districts of
Munster and the Wurtemburg district
of WaldShut.

In all her travelling alone between
Pittsburg, Philadelphia. Baltimore, and
Washington she is said to have suffered
no annoyance or insult. Though quite
free to make and pick acquaintance with
fellow passengers of her own sex, she
carries herself with ladylike dignity,
and yet her manner might seem trifie

the fact that she virtually makes her

parted great friends. An incident
which shows her cOmposure occurred
on her last trip to the South. After
travelling some distance with party
homeward-bound from California, she
seated herself beside one of the women,

TOUGH HUNTING YARNS.
Brief Stories Hard to Swallow
Even if Well Seasoned.

Chicago News.
A Dallas, Tex, inventor has an cleo
trio fish line which kills the fish the in
slant it seizes the hook, and at the same
time rings bell on shore.
A trout in a pond near St. Paul ap-
pears at the call of its master, eats from
his hand and manifests thanks orfavors
by Hopping up into the air.
A Philadelphia hunter went over
into New Jersey rabbit shooting, got
one cottOntail and was arrested for gun
ming without license and fined $50.
In the stomach of blue heron shot
by Charles Smith at Burg Hill, o., was
found fOrty-Seven carp. From the ap-
pearance they constituted but one meal,
and had just been swallowed.
Virginia fishermen are busily catching
robins in nets that are set between tall
poles on the beach. Andrew Ross, with
a small net, caught on B0gal Banks on
Monday over 500 of these birds. AS
many as 1000 were caught by one man
at one flight.
An immense eagle swoOped down
upon young calf belonging to w. r.
Pease, of Mount Hamilton, Col, and at
tempted to carry it off. Being dis
turbed, 1T attacked Mr.. Pease, seriously
injuring him, but Mr.. Pease managed to
kill it. The calf died of its wounds.
The London Field tells us of titlark
pursued by hawk flying to party of
salmon fishers and passing under the
seat of the boat for refuge. Although
perfectly uninjured, it allowed the fish
ermen to handle it, forgetting its dread
of man through fear of the hawk.
At Newton, Mass, cat bounced into
group of chickens and pigeons that
were feeding and seized pigeon. In
stantly the entire company attacked the
cat and so frightened her that she
dropped the bird and ran. When the
feathered family saw the pigeon was
uninjured there was great chorus of
victory, in which all the ROSTERS joined.

CHINESE FREE MASONS,

There is a Lodge of Them in New
York---Interior of the Lodge
Hall.
They have lodge of Chinese Free
Masons in New York, of which the
World says: 1t is native organization,
not allied directly to the Free and Ac-
cepted Masons, but said to be founded
on principles very nearly akin.
The lodge room is at 1S Mott street,
second floor, front, and has recently
been remOdeled and refitted in very
good shape, all newly painted and
cleaned. The lodge furniture is of Chi
+ nese design and imported from China
expressly for the society at great eX-
pense. A tall flagstaff with rope for
running up cOlorS is on top of the build
ing. Above the door as one enters the
lodge room is red sign in native char
acterS slgnifying "ChineSe Masonic So
ciety," and down the sides are two long
slips of red paper bearing notices. One
of these is do good to one another"
and the other relates to the business of
the order.
The interior is like most Chinese
quarters, only lighter and not full of
odd turns and unsupported corners. I'M

sort of ante-roOm and thence into the
main or lOdge-room. At the lower end
of this room is the altar, and very val

Above it is an alcOve in which colored
drawing is suspended. 1t is not the
least curious thing in the place, the de-
sign being three figures, one seated

sents the venerable father of Chi

placid and adorned with long black
beard. The other two are respectively

HAVE TWELVE HOLIDAYS.
Mr.. Wong Remembers Eleven, OF
Which Moon Cake Day is Chief

In place of the five great holidays
that we have in America the Cinnamon
have just twelve, one in each and every
month, and they are very interesting
and expressive. Here they are:
Shin Nean-The New Year.
Nee Yueh Nee-God's Ascension
day (22d of second moon.)
San Yueh Sa Third day of third
moon; the Opening of the Spring day.
ST Yueh POt-Eighth of the fourth
moon; Dragons Rising Day.
WO Yueh Dan-Color's day; the 5th
of the fifth moon.
Lo Yueh Lo-Joss' Sightseeing day;
9th of sixth moon.
vi Yueh Ti-Sending Provisions and
Servants to the Dead day; 18th of
seventh moon.
Pot Yueh Shi Wo--MOon Cake day;
18th of eighth moon.

Winter day; 9th of ninth moon.
She Yueh Yi-JOss Soup day; 18th of
eleventh moon.
Shi Nj Yueh Mi-The Gods Going

ARRANGEMENT OF A SINGLE COVER.
served stick of bread baked for the
purpose is often laid beside the soup
spoon, and a tiny dish of roasted or
sailed almonds is sometimes placed be-
side each plate. Silver and brass crumb
knives, brushes and trays are all out of
date; a neatly folded table napkin and
pretty china plate are now used in their
stead. China is rarely purchased in
sets. A different sort of ware for each
course is very often seen. When the
pieces are all the same color, odd bits,
such as dishes for butter, pickles, Jelly,
cheese, or bonbons should be of CON
trasting tints. Teaspoons should not be
placed on the table in deep glass or
china bowls, but on small trays. 1t is
a good plan to lay an embroidered or
hemstitched napkin beneath the cary
er's platter, and these carving-cloths are
used in preference to tea-trays for tea
and coffee urns, cups and saucers, etc.

Pittsburg's Girl Drummer.

Philadelphia Enquirer.
A trim little woman skipped lightly
from the steps of Baltimore & Ohio
passenger coach at the Chestnut street
station the other night. Walking ahead
of her were Senator Thomas V. Cooper
and wife, who came in the same car
from Washington. There was some
thing about the female that would at
tract a second glance as she hurried off
in her neat-fitting, long plush cloak,
showing just the lower plaits of styl-
ish WOODEN travelling dress, and jaunty
bit of brown velvet bonnet bobbing with
her head, as lively as the convenient
gripsack ratified which she carried in
her hand.

How They Marry in India.
Pail Mall Gazette.

Pail Mall Gazette.
AT Trichur, in the East Indies. town
inhabited chiefly by Nairs, the land
holding class of the coast, divorce seems
to be as simple as marriage is easy. The
Nair lady is very independent person.
Some one offers cloth; that is the pro-
posal. If she accepts it, that is the
marriage. If she gets tired of her hus-
band she gets rid of him and takes up
with another, and is not held to have be-
haved disgracefully in SO doing. TO give
a cloth as present is a very common
thing in India. BY cloth is meant the
garment worn by women in the East,
and it may be very plain and cheap or
very rich and costly. But here, what
ever kind of cloth it be, to give one is
very significant, as distinguished visi-
tor to Trichur found when he offered
one to Nair lady in whose house he
had received some civility. Whatever
opinion may be held from moral point
of view of these marriage relations,
they result in manly males and for the
most part comedy and very often beauti.

So gently upward to His hills

If we might only learn to read and know

think we then should all rejoice,
Should know the beauteous mysteries.
Should Joy with one wide common voice
AS joy the great earth-circling seas!
Could we but read as Christ would have us
read,
Then we might know the living God indeed
And this the lesson, this the book
That lies wide open now as then,
Come, read one syllable, come look
How broader than the books of men!
Come, catch the pathos of this harmony

stand is the better, but when expense
has to be considered it can be made of
plain wood by any ordinary carpenter
and finished at home with one or two
coats of oil or varnish. The top can be
used for ported plants or vases of cut
flowers or pretty dish of fruit, and the
shelves below serve as sideboards for
pitchers. plates, odd dishes from the
table, finger glasses, desserts, etc.
When courses are changed at table
these shelves are very convenient for
articles that are not to go to the kitchen
