Modern Oriminality.
u,,r FORCE AND VIOLENCE OF OTHER
NAYS HAS CHANGED TO FRAUD AND
AsrUTENEsS.

There are two forms of crimnality,
,he atayic and evolutional. Atavlc
criminality is the return of certain In.
d;yiduals, whose physiological and
psychological constitutions is morbid,
70 such means Of the struggle for ex
;stence as civilization has suppressed,
such as murder, robbery, etc. Now
,he natural forces which formerly I'M
neled men to battle in this sanguin-
av manner have not entirely ceased
10 &C. upon humanity; they still act,
and excite men to certain antagonisms,
which occupy the entire life Of almost
all human kind, excepting only those
who, possessing a superior moral
sense, refuse to become entangled in
self.interes,ed struggles, even if this
course Of action costs them some
trouble. But the means of the strug-
ole have changed through the influence
Of civilization these we're formerly
force and violence they are to day
fraud and astuteness.
No one can deny that an immense
number Of thefts are committed every
day, of which the law takes no cogni
zance; that human cupidity finds
means OF satisfying itself even if it
does not employ the sword and poison,
which sometimes makes one wonder,
with horror, if all human progress is
not menaced with failure. This is the
transformation of savage criminality
among civilized people. 1t is to-day,
unfortunately, normal condition of
existence that this battle of astutepess
has replaced the war of the muscles.
For, as long IS the social conditions
last. no human power will be able to
prevent men from stealing from eacl,
other, just as it is impossible to keep
men living in a state of barbarous
anarchy from killing each other. From
this point of view all modern humanity
is imbued, to some extent, with evolu-
tional criminality.
These, however, who really form
that criminality, which / call evolu.
tional, are the men who, endowed
with greater talent or favored by a
too prosperous fortune, push that bat
tie Of intrigue and deceit to a mon
strous excess, which makes it too
great danger to all modern society.
These, in reality, only employ to a
great extent the means of enriching
themselves that all the world uses on
a small scale but their action, on ac-
count OF the excessive development
which they give to the means of the
struggle for existence, should be con.
sidered as abnormal and, therefore
punishable; while the same means,
applied on small scale, are entirely
normal, and, although our moral sense
feels them unworthy, remain unpunish-
ed for law would be powerless and
even unjust to injure them. Those
who make use of the means that SO.
ciety has given them, without annoy
ing the social life more than others,
are evidently only using their rights.
But, for the great evolutional crimin-
ais, it will not do to trust too much TO
the effects of the punishment they
are the product Of our customs and
will always be found so long as our
customs remain unchanged.-Guill-
aume Ferrero, in Revue des Revues.

The twenty-seventh National En-
campment of the Grand Army OF the
Republic has now passed into history.
The veterans have gone or are going
their ways homeward from Indianapo-
lis, and can think over at leisure the
events of their meeting
Taken altogether, it was a great
gathering More than 10000 men,
it is said, marched in the parade, and
there were ten times that number Of
admiring onlookers. The railroads
have remarkable figures of the passen.
gers they carried to town. The affair
was perhaps helped by the opportunity
of combining the reunion with a trip
to the big Chicago show 1t was held,
too, at the place of the very first
National Encampment, and there
were pathetic elements in the reminis-
cences and in the contrast between
1866 and 1893. Ringing speeches
were made, and there was plenty Of
enthusiasm among the hearers and no
abatement in the glow of comrade.
ship.
But there was something more sug-
gestive at the meeting than all this.
For the first time in the history of the
Grand Army its roll showed a clear
and indisputable falling off. The year
before, at the Washington encamp-
ment, there had been an omen of what
has now come. The annual gain IN
membership, once reckoned in tens of
thousands, had fallen to only I,aoo
names. With special anxiety and
interest, therefore, the statistics Of the
present encampment were awaited.
When they came it was found that,
as had been feared, high water mark
had already been passed and the
ebb had set in. "After most earnes:
efforts" said COmmander-in- Chief
Weissert in his annual address, ''made
by headquarters, to increase the mem
bership in good standing, loss from
June, 1892, of over 1000 must be re-
ported" That this result lad not oc-
cured without a determined attempt
to avert it was shown by the fact be-
tween June and December, 1902, the
membership had been increased, in
spite of all inroads but that gain and
more was lost early in the present
year. A pardonable effort to explain
the decline was made in the sugges-
ton that it may have been due to "the
determination to weed out all men,
bers who are practically dead weight
to the order, together with the pressure
in financial matters throughout the
country" But in another portion Of
the address it is shown that the loss
by death alone for the year was more
than 1000, which was the greatest
from that source ever known in the
history of the order.
The decline thus begun may be ex-
pected to continue from year to year,
by slow gradations at first, and then
rapidly. Compared with the great
membership Of 397,aas in good stand.
ing, and 443,s54 in all, decrease of
1900 is small but its significance
is in marking the turn Of the tide.
The Grand Army need not fear any
loss of renown or of national gratitude
in its days of decline. Perhaps, as the
years 60 by, it may find itself less ca
joled or attacked, and becoming a
smaller and smaller factor in politics,
but its dwindling reunions will show
no falling off in the feeling of com.
radeship, or of enthusiasm for it in the
hearts OF the people.--N Y. San.

WHAT ONE GIRL DID.

And What Many More May Do IL They
Only Will
The girl was just twenty. She had
been ut school for the last ten years,
had studied everything she wanted to,
and several things she did not care for,
had come with trunkful of pretty
gowns and half dozen dainty hats
and wells to spend the summer in a
suburban town far from her home,
which was in the south.
1t had always been enough for this
girl to be alive and to be happy. Her
sweet looks and her sweet ways had
been so pleasing to her father and
mother, her brothers and cousins, that
she had never felt the need of trying
to do them any good, says Harper's
Bazar. When at school the same sweet
ways and sweet looks had made her
popular, and it did not occur to her
that she was to exert an influence on
her companions.
1t probably never does occur to a
rose or pansy that it has any duty in
the matter of being fragrant and at
tractive. 1t simply lives its life.
In the summer home, however, Girlie,
as her father liked to call her, found
that everybody was on the qui vive to
help everybody else. Her aunt and her
girl cousins all had their work among
the poor, or they read to sick people,
or taught in Sunday-school. Two
cousins were very much interested in a
working-girl's club, one hundred girls
gathered from factory in the hottest
tart of the town. The club met even

have fallen back upon the theory that
it is the quality of the brain that

amount to much. Some of them go sc

Lights began to shine in every
house, and moving lanterns and the
clatter of voices betokened general
alarm. What this midnight summons
out of the skies might mean filed the
rural fancy with terror, and the note of
fear could be heard in many of the

BE womanly.
BE true to yourselves and be guided

been through it all, and know by eX-
perience the best line of conduct to
pursue. You may lose the companion
ship of some whom you think very gay
and jolly, but their cvanescent friend
ship will be replaced by sincere re.

clean over the fence of upright gurlan

that surrounded their inclosure. When
the third round came the giraffes were
so puzzled that they turned round and
popped over the fence again and sought

there, her dress so rich, so maidenly,
so becoming. that she was bewitching

and applauded her with enthusiasm.
They crowded around her, and begged
her to come and teach one of their
classes on Sunday.
Grille was persuaded. She said she
knew so little herself that she would
have to study very hard. When Sun
day came she dressed in her pretty,
dainty tailor-made gown, her simple
sailor hat, her gray gloves. From head

The girls listened to her and looked
at her. In six months you would not
have known them for the same set;
their taste was quieter, their gowns
were simpler, more refined, less preten-
tious; their hats lost the load of flowers
and feathers. Grille was initiated in
her speech, her manners, her exterior;
she had set good example.
