The Age of Criminals.

Most criminals are young. It is
seldom that a grave crime, provided
it be the first. is committed after the
age of thirty. A careful statistician
has proved that of the entire male
population of England and Wales, the
largest proportion of criminals is found
to be between the ages of twenty and
twenty-five. Five times as many crimes
are committed in the fve years be-
tween these limits as in the ten years
between the ages of fifty and sixty.
Dividing the whole population into
groups of those from ten years to
fifteen, from fifteen to twenty, from
twenty to twenty-five, from twenty
five to thirty, from thirty to forty,
from forty to fifty and from fifty to
sixty, it is found that from the age OF
twenty the tendency to crime decreases
at each successive term thirty-three
per cent. in the case Of women, and
twenty-five per cent. in the case of
men. -Rer. Mr.. Tba0tng.

judges face grew clohded and he dis
patched a deputy sheriff to assist his
superior. The jury were fdgeting
about in their seats, the bar was
nearly deserted, and even the lawyers
engaged in the case glanced over their
shoulders uneasily.
Curses and angry shouts, inter-
mingled with the sharp crack of pis-
tolls, came up from below, and the
court room was filled with the smoke
of burning powder. Gentlemen of

are excused for the day. The court
will take a recess and see whether it
shall be held in contempt or not. ="
He descended from the bench and
made his way to the door. The cor
ridor below was filed with fighting
men, and one quick glance was suffi-
cient to tell him what the row was
about. His eyes blazed, and throwing
off his coat he pulled out big pistol
and sprang into the midst of the fray.
The fight lasted a long time and ended
in victory for the Findlayites, who
naturally fell under the leadership OF
the judge. Some men were killed on
both sides and many were wounded.
The next day the judge, with his arm
in sling, assembled the bench again,
and the ordinary routine of court
business was resumed. - George w

ROMAN PLANK ROADS.
The Ponies Longi Used by the Romans in
Their Retreat From Germany.

The Ponies Longi Used by the Romans in
Their Retreat From Germany.
The Prussian Minister of Education,
Won Gossler, having learned that Prof.
F. Knoke had lately found traces of
old Roman plank roads on. the moor
between Mehrholz and Bragel, not far
from Diepholz, in Lower Hanover, in
vited that gentleman to fully inyesti-
gate the matter. He was able to trace
the lines of two parallel plank roads
right across the moor, presenting all
those distinctive features which are
found in Roman works of this kind.
One of them shows evident signs of
having been demolished by force, the
boards, which were originally fastened
with pegs to the bearers, having been
violently torn away and buried in the
bog to the right and left of the track.
The other road seems to have fallen
into decay, but there are signs of re-
pairs executed even during the Roman
period. For in places boards have
been found fastened over the original
planks, the fashion of both being the
same. Those repairs seem to have
been carried out hastily, for in one
place a mallet. employed probably to
drive home the pegs, was found on the
track, forgotten, no doubt. by the
workmen. The local archaologists
feel assured that they have here the
pones toasgi which were used A. D. IL
by the Roman commander, A. C@cina,
in his retreat from Germany to the
Ems. London Times

crackers and offerings to joss, and wound
up by getting drunk Yet Sing had been
cautioned about the boiling spring and told
that it might be a slumbering geyser. For
this reason his wash tubs were kept on the
other side of the tent, so that no soap might
disturb the quiet of the boiling water No
one knows just how Yet Sings box of laun-
dry soap got overturned into the boiling
spring, and it is more than probable that
some mischievous miner emptied the soap in
the slumbering geyser.
That night there was sudden spouting OF
boiling water, a tent flying through the air
and some piercing yells The miners rushed
up and found the geyser pouring water to a
height Of over hundred feet. The bodies OF
the four Cinnamon scalded to death were
found later at some distance from the scene
The geyser spouted for three hours and then
