How Criminals are Made.

The careful study Of criminals from
purely scientific standpoint has led
to many serious results. The shape
of a mans Uranium after all affects
his character. The lack of nourishing
food may produce a criminal out of q
good man by imparing the intelli-
gence and normal condition of the
brain. A blow upon the head, or a
bursting of blood vessel in the brain,
may make a man a lunatic or a deep
dyed criminal. A poisonous atmos-
phere may work upon the nerves of
one SO as to lead to suicide or other
crime. A child in youth may be
turned into future criminal by severe
punishment or deprivation. Great
exposure to heat or cold may change
philanthropist into an evil doer.
These are facts, not fancies derived
from criminal anthropological study.

An Old Recipe.

Here is recipe fer the bite of u
mad dog taken from the Unirersal
Magazine Of Knowledge, published by
John Hinton at the Kings Arms in
Newgate street, London, May, 1898.
Take the youngest shoots Of the elder
tree, peel off the outside rind, then,
scraping off the green rind, take two
handfuls OF it, which simmer a quarter
of an hour in five pints Of ale; strain
it off and when cold put it in bottles.
Take half pint, make warm, the first
thing in the morning and the last at
night, and be sure to keep yourself
warm; also bathe the part affected
with some OF the liquor warmed, the
dose to be repeated the next new or
full moon after the first. 1t is good
for cattle as we'll as the human
species"

The tides are caused by . great
wave. which, raised by the moons
attraction, follows her in her course
around the earth. The sun aids
somewhat in producing this effect,
but. as the moon is 400 times nearer
the earth, her influence is far greater.
Professor Ball, royal astronomer of
Ireland, claims that once the moon
was nearer the earth than now, that
the day and night were equal, each
three hours long. Al 10000 miles
distant the moon was a greater tide
producer by 2l9 times. AS the moon
receded from the earth both revolved
more slowly. At the present time q
earth rotations equal one moon rota-
ton.

THE story that leading Republicans
favor tax on sugar because there is
one on whisky is without foundation.
There is no connection between the
two in the mind of a straight party
man. Putting sugar in whisky is a
sign OF weakness from the e. o. D..
point of view.

ALUMINIUM is the coming metal.
Since the utilization of electricity in
its extraction from common clay, the
cost has been reduced from 500 in
1907, to 70 cents per pound in 1893.
This metal can be used in place OF
steel, iron, tin and brass. 1t is much
lighter than other metals, and is clean
and always bright. 1t is already used
for surgical instruments, foundry cast.
ing, grill-work, cameras, table and
kitchen ware and for many useful
knick-knacks. 1t is probable that it
will be used soon for bicycle frames.

When Edison Was Young.

"I was an operator in the Memphis
Office when Thomas A. Edison applied
to the manager for a position" said
A. G. Rockefeller, a member of the
Reminiscence Club, St. Louis. "He
came walking into the Office one morn.
ing looking like a veritable hayseed.
He wore hickory shirt, a pair of but.
ternut pants tucked into the tops of
boots a size too large and guiltless Of
blacking. Where's the bossP was
his query as he glanced round the
office. No one replied at once and he
repeated the question. The manager
asked him what he could do for him
and the future-great proceeded to
strike him for q job. Business was
rushing and the Office was two men
short, so almost any kind of . light.
ming singer was welcome. He was
assigned q desk and q fusillade of
winks went the rounds of the office,
for the Jay was put on the St. Louis
wire, the hardest in the Office.
"At this end OF the line was an
operator who was chain lightning and
knew it. Edison had hardly got
seated before st. Louis called. The
newcomer responded and St. Louis
started in on a long report and he
pumped it in like house afire. Edi-
son threw his leg over the arm OF his
chair, leisurely transferred q wad of
spruce gum from his pocket to his
mouth picked up pen, examined it
critically and started in about 200
words behind. He didn't stay there
long, though St. Louis let out another
link of speed, and still another, and
the instrument on Edison's table
hummed like an old.style Singer sew
ing machine.
Every man in the Office left his
desk and gathered round the Jay to
see what he was doing with that
electric cyclone. Well, sir, he was
right on the word, and was putting it
down in the prettiest copper.plate
hand you ever saw, even crossing his
is, dotting his is and punctuating
with as much care as a man editing
telegraph for rat printers. St. Louis
got tired by and by and began to slow
down. Edison opened the key and
said Here, here! this is no primer
class! Get hustle on you" Well,
sir, that broke St. Louis all up. He
had been raw hiding Memphis for a
long time, and we were terribly sore,
and to have a man in our office that
could walk all over him made us feel
like man whose horse had won the
Derby. l saw the wizard not long
ago. He doesn't wear hickory shirt
nor put his pants in his boots, but ne
is very far from being a dude yet"

I'm n Buffalo SchooI.RoOm,

In the sixth grade the subject of
the lesson was California. During
this recitation no textbook was used.
and the teacher opened the lesson with
the question, How long does it take
to go to California;" Then correcting
herself she said," No tell me first why
you would like to go to California;"
though no one had expressed any
particular desire to 20 there.
" / should like to take drive around
the mountains" answered one of the
children.
II should like to see the Golden
Gate" said another.
This answer was followed by a cry
of chestnuts." from One of the boys.
This remark did not, however, attract
the attention of the teacher. In fact,
during the whole lesson there was q
complete absence Of discipline.
After the children had given their
reasons for desiring to 60 to California
the teacher remarked" Now tell me
how long it takes to go there?"
In reply to this, all sorts of guesses
were made, the lowest being five days
and the highest seven weeks.
At last little girl said: al know.
My mamma went to California last
winter. She started on q Thursday
even ing"
This manner of solving the problem
did not, however, appear to meet with
unanimous approval, as the child g
remarks were cut short by cry of
"Come off"
Unfortunately, to the teacher her
self, the whole subject of California ap-
peared to be involved in as deep a
mystery as the language of the Hin
docs. Indeed, the children appeared
to do more toward the enlightenment
OF the teacher than the latter did to
enlighten them. Nevertheless, she
finally put an end to the agonizing
suspense by saying, Il think it would
take about q week."
Through what cities would you
pass in travelling from Buffalo to Cali.
fornia?" was the next question.
"Chicago," said one of the children.
"Let me see," the teacher remarked
as she walked to the wall map, to
verify the answer. When other cities
were mentioned she did the same
thing.
What can you tell me about San
Francisco?" she asked later. at is
the largest city in California" a pupil
replied.
at is one OF the largest, but I don't
know that it is the largest" said the
teacher.
This ridiculous recitation was closed
with the reading of an extract from
an article on California which one OF
the children had found in an encyclo-
pedia.-Dr. J. II. Rice, in the November
Forum.

A press dispatch from San Diego dated the 10th Inst, says: All work has been stopped on the San Diego and Phoenix railroad. This is in pur- suance of an order from President Reed, and several circumstances caus- ed it. The main cause is attributed by Reed to the apathy Of the people of San Diego. As an instance he cites the offer of one of the prominent cap italists, who promised to subscribe as much cash as any one of dozen men, and who. when the time came, backed up his word to the extent of s.

This fact is an important lesson in finance, as the full legal tender attribute gave these notes premium of the men tioncd sum over the ordinary United States notes, merely because the lat ter were not legal tender for.inter- est and duties. At no time was gold worth more than these demand notes.
