CanadIan criminal statistics.

The blue book dealing with the peni-
tentiaries of Canada shows an increase
in the number of convicts for the year
ending June 80, 1890, of So over the pre-
ceding wear, the total number in all the
penitentiaries being 1,25L In the
course of the last fiscal year 18S9-90, 431
convicts were sentenced to penal service
in all the penitentiaries, as compared
with 4s4 in 1sss-s9. The number dis
charged in 1ss9-90 was 34S, as compared
with 333 in 18SS-s9 The increase last year
was 45 less than the record on June 30,
1889. which was 1O1. 1t is 81 more than
on June 80, 1856, when the total num-
Der was 1900, and 67 less than on june
80. 1879, when our convicts numbered
1918. 1t can be seen from these totals,
at different periods within the last
eleven years, that year by year there
has been fluctuation in the criminal

''Let me tell you little trick that all

druggist to a Post reporter. It is this:
ssAn incense of sweet odors has afas-
cination for. men, subtle, unnamable,
half.unconscious, yet alluring, powers
full and mighty. The common run Of
everyday mortals can hope at bestito
be only fresh and clean smelling unless
they resort to artificial means to pro.
duce the exhalations that are so deli
cious and bewitching. The first, step in
the pro- -ress is marked when one learns
to mix a quantity Of some sweet
scented water with the bath. Then
comes the art of mingling the same per.
fume with the clothing, and finally
there is the knack of carrying lingering
associations of it on the person in such
a manner that no one can detect the
real from the artificial, nor sachet from
natural freshness. Nv Washington Post.

ITALIAN COOKERY.
Frogs, Snails and Turtles Considered GrS
nag;roc ociaa


Frogs, Snails and Turtles Considered Great
Deiicacies.
All manner of small birds were eaten
in the sixteenth. century by the Italians
as they are at the present day. Most
persons who have been at Rome in
winter will remember the strings OF
these unfortunate little creatures which
are hung up in the shops of the poul-
terers and greengrocers- Hawks, owls,
crows, cuel1oos, and other birds of prey
are associated with their victims such
as robin-redbreasts,g goldfnches, linnets,
nightingales, and other birds which in
England are placed in a cage for their
song and in Italy on the spit for their
flavor. Frugoli in his "Escalcaria" even
mentions the ostrich as fit for the table,
but he cannot recommend it, as its flesh
is of bad quality, and the bird not easily
obtained. He does not, therefore, give
a receipt for dressing it, but he reminds
| his readers that the Emperor Hello
gabalus had the heads of 900 ostrfches
brought to his table, only Itoeat of their
brains.
Scappi recommends that all small
birds, and especially the delicious
'.beccafcho" (the best came from Cyprus
through Venice) and ortolans, should
be roasted onlthes spit, wrapped up in
lard and sage, leaves, and should be
| served hot, placed on crusts made Of
1 fine -four pounded sugar, and fehnel.
| It is painful to find him chasing with
| these delicate morsels the swallow,
! which he says should be eaten young
from therend of April to the end. Of
| June.
s After giving directions for cooking
beasts and birds, Scappi turns to fish.
For dressing them he gives no less than
two hundred and eighteen receipts, OF
which twenty-six. refer to the sturgeon.
| Cervio calls the sturgeon I'll piu hon
orato de, pesci,' ,''.and tells us that the
best came from branch of the Po neal
E'errara. They are in season from the
beginning of March to the end d
August. but are good eating all the yeaa
round if they can be had. Salmon
were sometimes served at great ban
s quets, but were rare in Italy excep
salted, They were brought from Gas
cony. The shad was reckoned a speeia
delicacy. Lampreys are fish of grea
price, and, says Ceryio, much relishef

whether eaten hot or cold. Among fisl
are mentioned eels, ''calamari," (cuttle

When the experts in handwriting
meet on the witness stand and swear
hard against one another, the jury has
a difficult task. Nevertheless, there
have been remarkable. cases of,identifls Z
cation of handwriting.
An English gentleman offered a large
sum of money for the discovery Of a
marriage register, the production Of
which was necessary in an important
lawsuit. An officer in a country church
wrote him that the missing register had
turned up in the vestry box of his own
parish. A lawyer and an expert in
handwriting were. sent to examine the
document. fss - zre{.
The man showed them the marriage
register, and after a careful examina
tion, they went to lunch.
Atthe table, the expert expressed az
opinion unfavorable to the genuinenes,
of the register. 1t was modern hand
writing and did not, therefore, posses
the antiquity claimed for il.
