Women of Irritable Temper.

1t is like living in den of Snarling animals to
live with person who has this sort of temper
writes Ella Wheeler Wilcox in an article on The
Destroyers of Domestic Edens.'' in the February
Ladies' Home Journal Many an Eden is de-
stroyed by it while the pOssessOr prides himself
upon being good Christian. and doing his whole
duty by his family. Yet. if the soup lacks a little
salt. or contains a little too much peDper if n
meal is a moment delayed. if child is noisy in
its mirth. if a drawer sticks or door slams or a
chair creaks. each tritie calls forth an exhibit
ton of disagreeable distemper. which ruins the
comfort and peace of the household for an hour.
Many woman is addicted to this sort of tenn
per, and calls it "her nerves." and considers
herself the most devoted wife and mother in the
world. Yet if she is obliged to delay her dinner
for any member of the family, if she is called
from one task to perform another. if the chill
dren scatter their playthings or leave their
SchOOl-bOOkS in the parlOr. she INDUCES in such
petulant scOlding that gloom settles over the
whole household. She would consider it no diff
cult thing to die for that household if it were de-
manded of her. But to control her irritable
temper is a task too great to demand of her
And so the Eden is destroyed. and the children
grow up eager to get out of the home where
everything is uncomfortable. and the parents
wonder why all their sacrifices are so poorly APP
preciated, why their children for whom they
have toiled and saved seem to care so little
about their home. and why they seem so anxious
to seek pleasures elsewhere

A New York judge has decided that news
paper is published at the place from which it is
issued. without reference to where it is printed.
This decision is the result of litigation between
the Herkimer Democrat and the Gloversville
Standard the publisher of the latter paper hav-
ing sought to have set aside the designation of
the Democrat as the official paper for Hamilton
county, on'the ground that the paper is printed
in Herkmer county. Such finding by the court
seems to conflict with the rule of the Postoffice
Department. which holds that newspaper can
be mailed, under the usual regulations, only from
the postofice whose name is used in its dateline.

No more important work of a refermatOry nat

that of tenement house reform, which the Uni

The Supposed Criminal Type.

An important result of the recent congress at
Brussels on criminal anthrOpOlogy has been the
diScrediting of the SO-called criminal type or
habitual criminals. The person who was born
criminal, and must be one "noenS vOens," was
supposed to have a smaller capacity of skull
the back of the head large. the lower jaw very
strong and pronounced, the ears often defOrmed.
the hair coarse and thick, the beard Scanty, and
so forth.

Make, from a large collection of data, main
tanned that there was no special popularity in the
physique of criminals, male or female and the
general tendency of the papers read, and discus.
SionS on the subject. was to regard crime as the
result of social and psychical rather than phys
zeal peculiarities. 1t is true that physical de-
partures from the normal type are commoner
among the criminal class than the rest of man.
kind but no constant relationship between these
and crimes can be detected.
Many criminals inherit tendency to some
form of mental irregularity, but many also .'go
to the bad" simply from deleteriOus personal
and social influences. Society. it would appear
is far more to blame for their deliquencies than
has been recognized, or at least acknowledged.
