 It Is @ remarkable but indlsputable fact that nearly erything in this world bears testimony to the superior refinement of woman.
 The latest witnesses to her worth articu- late not, but they wriggle, and, as we all know, factions speak louder than words." They may be called the "hello" bacteris, as they have recently been discovered by Dr. Scheele of New York existing In the transmitters of telephones that are in pub lie use in stores, hotels and pay ststions. Unworthy ss these witnesses may be, their testimony is valuable and certainly unexpected. The results of Dr. Scheele's investigations, ss published in the New York Herald, proves conclusiyely that dis ease turks snd breeds within the mouth pieces of many telephones. It also shows that in telephone used almost exclusive. | ly by women there was comparative ab- sence of bacteria, while those used by men were ''hot beds of bacteria culture" to use | the investigators own words.

Commencement.

White wavesof tulle and souls as white, And misty wreaths of floating faces, And tender blooms of hower-lke faces, Of spirit grace of fioWerlike faces, And brave prophetic thoughts and dreams And hopes of grand aod high endeavor, And glow of golden faith that seems To light the futures way forever. Aspasian wis iom told in speech That breaks from scarlet threads or smiling Deep lore beyond the sago'e reach Between the lines our souls beguiling: Philosophies of Attic times,
 And Ciceronian Latin hissing, From lips that nature meant as rhymes To mark the poetry of kissing. And lofty prophecies of deeds
 or woman s freed souls high begetting, And inward Knowledge that the needs Of life are composed in coQuetting. High hopes that strike the burning stars, Ambition that snail never falter, Until as ending of lfe's wars
 Pallas surrenders at the altar. An, waves of tulle and gleems of light, And clingiug wreaths of misty faces, And dreams and hopes that live to night, And gentl. hearts and flower like faces My prayer for you and all shall be, That every angel within hearing May keep you what You seem to me, In spits of allmy cynic sneering.

GEORGE APPo,s TESTIMONY,

The Lexow investigating committee in New York Is making astonishing progress. When 1t began work there were few who expected that anything of importance would be accomplished. Yet very much has been. It has been shown beyond reasonable doubt that there has been an immensely profitable system of blackmail worked by the police; that rumsellera, keepers of houses of i'll fame, and others have been regularly bled for police protection. Many of the witnesses have told intensely interesting sto- ries. but the star witness has been George Appo, a half-breed China the fact that he was ''town born" in New Haven to become picturesque and diver sifed rsscal. Lately he has been "green- goods" man, and such @ story as he told about his work and about the police has never before been made public. He made it plain that some of the boss green goods men have been protected in their villainy by the police of New York, and that those who were thus pro- tected could swindle, rob and even murder with inpunity. Those who were not protected found great difficulty in pursuing their netarious industry. Ap- DO has hsd an extensive experience in crime, and he gave it as his expert opinion that New York was ent tied to the dis l tinetion of being the only city in the Union | where the green goods men ''stood in" with the police. There could bs no doubt, he said, that the regular men in the business ! were protected by the police, and as proof | of that he added with the utmost nonchal- ance that If he attempted to pick pocket he was immediately srre s.ed, but that not withstanding his picture was in the rogues' l gallery and the fact that he wss vel known to the police, he was allowed to steer 'fguys," that is, victims of the green goods men, through the street and under the very noses of the police, who often recognized him while doing so, with impunity.
 Appo hasn't done much credit to the good and beautiful city of his birth eince he left 1t, but something can be forgiven him for his full and able exposure of e kind of villainy that wasn't even suspected except by the few who were on its trail
 What he said concerning the relations oi the New York police with criminals sheds light on something that happened in thi. city a few years ego. One of ths most celebrated criminals in the country
 was accidentally caught in this city. Int
 police authorities here were confident tha
 they had big gams. They reported theil
 capture to the New York police suthori
 ties and furnished them with picture O
 the big rogue. The picture was appsr
 ently not recognized then, but come tim
 afterwards one of the very men to whom
 it was shown in New York was in the Nev
 Haven police office and recognized th
 picture as soon as he saw 1t. H

A LEGAL QUESTION.

 When does man own his own teethi Are they his property or the property of his wifea Do they beloug to him if he is in debt to the dentista Do they belong to him when the dentist has pulled them out or do they belong to the dentist9 Theee interesting questions are raised by a suit which has come before @ court in Gera, Germany. A man who had been suffer ing for some time from toothache made up his mind to have the tooth taken oat. The tooth proved difficult one to draw, and when it was out 1t was of such curious shape that the dentist declared be would keep it as curiosity. His patient, how ever, thought he would like to keep 1t him. self, and claimed 1t; but the dentist, on the ground that a tooth, when drawn with the free consent of the patient, Is ownerlesa property ss soon as 1t leaves the jaw, re- fused to give it up.

If man loses ownership in his teeth when, impelled by their aching, he gives his consent to have them pulled out it seems plain that he loses ownership in his hair when he consents to have 1t cut. Of course there are not many men who want their discarded teeth or their discarded hair to have and to hold, and there are not many dentists or barbers who would raise any question about ownership in teeth 0, hair. But as the question has been raised it must be settled, and then we shall have precedent.

At intervall were tiny windows. splsyed uutwsrdly, with recesses behind them for rifiemen, We had also seen water gushing from 6 fountain within the structure, and many curious compartments which had evident ly been provided for stores in time of siege. All these things were subjects for won- dering comment in connection with the stupendous character of the cloud reach ing pile; but after we had feasted upon the magnificent scene, spread from mountains to sea beneath us, two objects in the open dome where we stood engaged our a.ten- ton with far deeper interest.
