lected the statistics of murders, lynch
ings, legal hangings, suicides and the
like for several years. The number of
murders it shows for 1892 was 1892. In
1891 the number was 59O6, in 1890 it was
1890, in 1889 it was 3l67 and IN 1887 1885.
The increase in murder has accompanied
a steady decline in hanging by judicial
decree. The number of judicial hang
ings was 1913 in 1891 and l07 in 1892. To
make up for the decrease in judicial
%hangings there was an increase in the
number of lynchings. The lynchings
that were 1876 in 1901 jumped to 296 in
1892.

crown, when ice forms upon tie Sun,
when our Johnny gets his gun, when
gold dollars get too cheap, when the wo-
men secrets keep, when the fish forget to
swim, when old Satin sings a hymn,
when the girls go back OF gum, when a
small boy hates a drum, when no politi-
clan schemes, when mince pie makes
Pleasant dreams, when cold water makes
you drunk. when you like to smell a
skunk, when the drummer has no brass,
when these things come to pass, then the
merchant who is wise, may neglect TO adj

R~Osegger, the Syrian poet, who is bat
Ting with death just now expresses the
following thoughts on marriage; eff you
think of marrying a woman remember
you marry three creatures, a young one,
a middle-aged n and an old one. I'm
less one or two die before their time you
marry a wife, a mother and a grand
mother. In her you marry a lot of peo-
pie you do not know. You don't marry
for to day, or for tomorrow, but for life,
and all sorts of situations. If she is gem
tie, and wise, and true, you have a bride,
not only for the wedding day, but for

she is only handsome she will some day
grow ugly, but if she is good and true
she will stand wear. Try TO know her
before you take her."-Irish Times.
