CRIME IN ENGLAND.

One Known Thief to Every Nineteen Hun
dred and Forty five Persons.
Burglary and kindred offenses show
an increase during twenty years of "a
per cent. but this is in part explained
by a change in the police classification
by which various offenses which used to
be entered as larcenies are now entered
as burglaries. In all the smaller Of
lenses there has been Continuous
and marked abatement" The main
cause of this Improvement has been the
action OF the police. 1t is in tho
smaller and everyday offenses that the
benefit Of this Is most seen. The
police are more vigilant and their vigil
lance is more often successful. They
are now obliged to.furnish to@the Secre-
tary of State full information as to the
number of all bad characters at large in
their district, and they are thus kept
sin touch with all known thieves and
suspected characters. The figures re-
1ating both to these characters and to
their habitual haunts are highly en-
oouraging.
IN 1860 there was one known thief
to every |, 900 persons; In 1878 the per
centage had fallen by nearly half, and
thewa only one known thief 70. every
1,945 persons. The decrease in the re-
ceiver Of stolen goods is still more
marked. In 1860 there was
one to every $3.50 people; in
1878 there was one to every
25, 500. So, too, with the houses which
suspected persons frequent In 1869
there were 1869 houses kept by receiv-
ers Of stolen goods; In 1888 there were
only 77s. The number of suspected pub
lie houses, beer shops and coffee shops
has fallen within the'same period from
3,l97 to 1853. This change is striking
testimony to the value Of police super
vision. Criminals are like wireworms-
there is nothing they dislike so much
as constant disturbance. The visits OF
the police make the discharge of the
criminal calling troublesome and annoy
ing. The oftener criminals are seen by
the police when they are making holi-
day the more chance is there that they
will be recognized and detected when
they are at work. The decrease in the
number Of receivers Of stolen goods is
especially Important. since without such
agencies thieves can not dispose Of their
plumber, and as thief Is not collector,
the inability 10 do this is very great
hindrance to his business: III
1t satisfactory to learn that, where.
as in 1860 there was one policeman to
every S5S people, in 1878 there was one
policemanto every 769 peopi-.--Specta.

The human sensorium resembles a circuit

forming links in the circle of continuity.
When digestion grows weak the epigastric
nerve suffers, and the whole system is af-
fected. Reinforce it with Hostetter's

grows tranquil and reposeful. Fever and

rreservat,ve oualitic. Of soap-stone.


A writer in London journal calls at.
tention to. the unappreciatcd uses and
preservatiye qualities OF soap-stone, a
material. he says, which possesses what
may be regarded as extraordinary, quail
tiles in withstanding atmospheric in
iuenees, those, especially. which have
so much to do with tho corrosion of iron
and steel, and from experiments made
it is said that no other material is
capable Of taking hold Of the fiber Of
iron and steel so readily and firmly as
this. In China soap-stone is largely
used in preserving structures built OF
sandstone and other stones liable to
crumblc from the effect OF the at
mosphcre; and the covering with pow
dcred soap-stone in the form OF paint
t-om some OF the obelisks Of that country
composed OF stone Liable to atmospheric
deterioration has been the means nf
