for the resistance of the air a feather

catnip tea for himself. In a short

marlzably anxious symptoms
All at once he thought of the catnip.
Here was cat brought up in city,

fragrant herb which IS so much a
medicine for felines in distress. So he
opened the package, gave a few leaves

eat was in raptures, and rolled about
in such crazy fashion that the bar
keeper was suspicious He declared
that them fellows has given the cat

CRIME IN GREAT BRITAIN.
It Is DecreasIDg. But the Debtor List
Are Largely decreasing.

It Is DecreasIDg. But the Debtor Lists
Are Largely Increasing.
There are some encouraging features
in the report of the commissioners OF
prisons in England and Wales which
has just been printed in London. The
statistics and diagrams which exhibit
the fluctuations OF crime during a long
series Of years demonstrate that their
general course and tendency for many
years past has been in the direction of
diminution;" .'that this diminution has
taken place particularly in those
classes OF crime which are committed
by habitual criminals. viz: Olfenses
against property with violence, fOrg-
cry, and offenses against the currency.
and offenses against property without
violence (which csmprise the great
bulk of crimes comnitted); also that
this diminution was concurrent in
point of time with the development of
various measures intended to bring il
about and that it occurred in spite of
the great increase in population. which
might have reasonably accounted for
an increase of crime" It is also
pointed out that the number Of first
convictions has fallen gradually from
100, ,9l6 in 1888 to 9S,390 in 1892, which
shows that the criminal ranks are not
being filed up by fresh recruits 1t is
further shown that the diminutioa in
the younger part of the prison popnia-
tion is four and five times as great as
in the older portion, which proves that
the younger part Of the community is
not supplying criminals TO take the
place OF the older and more incorr;gi-
ble. II is also demonstrated that
there is no such coincidence between
the variations in the amount of crime
and in the amount of drunkenness es
to establish that connection between
the two which some temperance advo-
Gates too hastily assert The con-
missioners point ont, however. that,
while crime has thus decreased and
the criminal population of the prisons
has diminished, the debtors have in
creased largely and continuously; the
number committed in iSTs-'f9 was G.
96f. and in Is92-9S it had gradually
risen till il reached l0,OSL

English Interest in Fireworks.

The people of London are very much
interested in the whistling fireworks
which have long ceased to be regarded
over here as a pyrotechnic marvel
The popular notion among the BritOns
is that gas generated by the eombus-
tion Of the fiery composition actually
blows a whistle, but this suppositioa
is erroneous. So far as can be deter
mined by the pyrotechnists themselves,
the screaming noise is due to the vie
lent combustion of the pierate of pot
ash with which the little tubes OF the
fireworks are stuffed Experiments
have been made with other materials,
but picrate of potash is the only com
bustible substance diseoverable that

imitation OF a whistle.
