Growing Army Of Criminals.

The criminal statistics of the country
present two very discouraging features.
They show that the increase Of criminals
Is out Of all proportion to the increase In
population, and that this disproportionate
increase Il almost entirely among the
young. The warden of the Joliet peni-
Tertiary, in n recent address, stated that
the criminals of the United States num-
bered 500, 900, and that the increase in
criminals during the past thirty years has
been twice as great proportionally as the
increase In population. Worse than this,
he claims that of this half million more
than one-third, or $1,000, are under 20
years Of age; more than one-half, or $50, :
600, under 81 years of age, and two-thirds,
or 1885,, 800, are under % years Of age. In
other words, there are two young GRIM
inals to one old one.
OF this large army of criminals only
one-tenth, or $4,000, are in confinement
In penal institutions at any one time, the
other nine-tenths being at large preying
upon organized society in various ways

Saccharine, 1t seems, need not cause
anxiety to the sugar planters. It is true
saccharine Is now IN article Of commerce;
that one grain of IL will sweeten cup of
tea or coffee; that 1t may be safely en-
ployed by diabetes patients, and by per-
sons suffering from govt affections and
liver complaints; that sweetmeats made
with 1t cause no acidity, and that it has a
wide field of usefulness In pharmacy. On
the other hand, its manufacture Is too
costly to compete with sugar. Sir Henry
Roscoe, In a communication published in
The Kew Bulletin, says he does not be-
lieve II b ever likely to become an article
Of common use. 1t IL not food, a. sugar
Is, and its price puts 1t out Of competition.

It II not easy for o good actor to play q

perience the other evening that illustrates
a scarce suspected difficulty, yet one that
might easily turn a sad scene into ride
ulous farce. In the last act, for fully If
teen minutes, the lady maid Of Astolat Is
seen by the audience stretched ont upon
her bed that has been lain upon the barge,
her limbs rigid, her features firm and one
hand visible, stiffened in death. A white
light II thrown upon her. A feeling Of
sadness pervaded the audience as they
watched the pale countenance. Not q
single person in the theatre knew what
was passing through the mind Of the
corpse. Miss Russell was in perfect
agony. She felt that her rigidity Of limb
and pensiveness Of feature were sadly i'm
periled. Her nose twitched, and she felt
that she was about to sneeze. Horrorsi

When Partisan ladies smoke. they use
deliciously scented cigarettes tinctured
with roses, carnations or heliotrope. A
French journalist has recently visited
the great establishments where cigarettes
are manufactured for fashionable women
exclusively. The most expensive kind
made unites the fragrance of delicate
flowers with a soupcon Of opium. The
journalist being evidently woman scolds
the Partisan bellies for debasing them
selves to the level of the brute creation
mainland warns them that they are
running their teeth and contracting the
bondage Of the opium habit The soup
con Of the Chinese drug should be left
out, of course; but II might not be . bad
idea to encourage efYeminate youth of the
masculine sort to smoke these ladies'
cigarettes. Heliotrope, carnation or rose
perfume might do something toward
fumigating the smell Of burnt paper
which now pervades the atmosphere of
streets and parlors.-New York Tribune.
