IN 1880 there was one criminal in
$500 of our population. Now there is
one to every 1865. These are certainly
significant figures, and suggest the
question whether the United States is
really SO prosperous and contented a
country as most Americans believe
They certainly do not indicate great

CONGRESSMAN THOMAS ]. GEARY, of
California, the author of the Chinese
registration law, has always employed
Chinese servants in his California
home, because they are practically the
only good ones to be obtained in that
part of the country. Since the law
bearing his name was enacted, it is
said that his wife has been unable to
keep her Chinese servants or to hire
others, as boycott has been declared
against the Geary household. The
peddlers of fruit and other articles,
who are principally Chinese, also re-
fuse to sell any of their goods there.

Prevention Of Wrinkles.

There is no such thing as conciliat-
ing a wrinkle or coaxing it out Of
sight on occasions. no dressing it up
in pretty DISCUSSES, gauzc, and frills;
no one ever really admired its curves
or wrote sonnets to its beauty; no one
ever really longed for its coming or
succeeded in banishing it by cool
reception: it comes unlimited and
tarries unbidden, and settles more
contentedly in its place as you fume
and fret over it. Many remedies for
the eradication Of wrinkles have been
suggested by various writer's on the
subject of personal beauty, but the
best and surest cure for wrinkles is
not to get them. for they may be
avoided more easily than removed,
Wrinkles are not always the sign of
age. but often the indices of a poorly.
cared-for skin, the nervous tempera-
ment Of their pOssessor, the habit of
excessive worrying or continuous
study, and sometimes of the degen-
eracy of the race. Italian children
OF 5 or 6 years often have more
wrinkles in their little faces than a
woman Of IS ought to possess. A
skin that is carefully and frequently
bathed In warm water and pure soap,
and rubbed to glow all over once
each day with soft flannel or the
hands preserves its elasticity and is

Sweet Work for Children.

The children OF Nice, in France,
and even in the East. have taken to
the business of raising flowers for per-
fumes In that part OF the world
flowers require.very little cultivation
to make them grow. II the proper
amount OF sun and shade is provided,
and if the fields are kept clear Of nox-
ious weeds, the flowers will cover the
fields in great sheets, so that even a
little child could not pick its way
through the fields without tramplinp
down the blossoms The older chill
dren do the work of wedding, but
when it comes harvest time all hands.
big ard little. unite in the work of
picking the flowers.
Sometimes as many as |, 200 tons of
orange blossoms are picked by the
children Of Italy alone. and are ex-
pected to be made into perfumes.
This may seem very great number
OF flowers for little hands to gather
But have you not often seen a baby
pick a boquet almost as large as itself
and only in few minutes, too? Re.
side the Italian children are trained
to do the work from the time they
can walk.

less susceptible to wrinkles The
modern woman has more care and
perplexities and worries than Caesar
ever dreamt OF. But these cares and
worries are in 20 way ameliorated by
expressing them in the .ace with
countless grimaccs and c0ntortions of
features that Invariably produce lines
The vivacity and swift-changing play
of features in bright sparkling girls
makes prematurely wrinkled and dis
tracted looking women. Much of
this vivacity and pretty by.play of
elevated brOws is forced and un.
natural, and all the more conducive
to wrinkles. Another habit women
have is that OF comforting their faces
into most ludicrOus and ugly posi-.
tiOns when exposed to the strong
sunlight. all of which by a little
thought and effort can be controlled
to a degree.

Marks Of Identification.

particularly among the criminal

personal identity. 1t is certainly
curious. in view of this fact, to know
that similar process has been in
vogue among savage tribes, who thus
recognize their friends and foes.
Captain Cupet reports that the in,
aabitants of Southern AMMAN place
thin bamboo rod between the
middle finger and the ring finger of
strangers who invade their territory,
On which they mark by notches the
distance from the nail to the first
phaiange and all succeeding ones
This bamboo rod is preserved. Every
Stranger is compelled to submit to
This measurement. When they re-
turn after protracted absence the
rod is applied, as mentioned, and
their identity established as friend,
newcomer or foe. Captain Cupet
m his return to AMMAN was always
emeasured. He says that a similar
method is practiced in the Laos prov

Wiped Out.

The death a-few days ago at Jack
sOnville OF an aged squaw. the last Of
the Rogue River Indians settles the
account between civilization and a
once powerful tribe, which was opened
something like half century ago,
in the most satisfactory, il not, in
deed, the only way in which such ac-
counts have as vet been permanently
settled. There is something in a de-
gree pathetic in the complete wiping
out Of a brave and sturdy people
which even the recital of atrocities
they have perpetrated upon peaceful
white settlers cannot wholly subdue
Yet, the passing Of the Indian is so

these people upon reservations set
apart for their use, and herd them
there while they slowly dwindle
away, hooking them meanwhile with
apretence at civilization. 1t is true
that the various Indian schools OF
the country have turned out some
1ozens of young Indians, more or less
