English Criminals.

Doubtless, to judge from your aver
age daily journal, murders and sui
cides, crimes and catastrophes, wars
and feuds and frauds, would seem TO re-
main the staple of the human record.
But ha il remembered mat, FOR OBVIOUS
reasons, all our worst and darkest is col
lected there. One might as well judge
of public health by the painful cases
described in medical publication as
of the vast mass of solid human happi-
ness and innocent living joy by the dali
ly catalogue of these really trivial ex-
ceptions to it. AS for sins-the most Sc
rious of which are only such as are
malicious-though the population in
crease, they seem steadily to diminish.
We had S7,66S "habituals" in 1868;
now the evil roll is only SO, 1853.
When the population of England was
9,257, 900 in 1869, there were 1859
persons undergoing penal servitude;
now, with population of 1880, l70,
the number is only 947. In 1878 the en-
tire number of prisoners in our jails
was 30, 1888; the entire number at the
same date last year was 10, 663, though
the population had increased by 6,000,-
900. Pauperism is also declining. In
1870, 1.079, 3S1 persons were in receipt
of relief; in 1891, with an addition Of
more than 1000, 900 inhabitants, there
were only TIA, 905. The upshot Of these
figures without pressing them too
much--seems surely to be that the cos
mic process" in our own little corner Of
the universe is not doing so badly. Sir
Edwin Arnold in LongInan's Magazine.

An Armenian Legend.

Ararat, one of the most majestic
mountains in the world, rises $1,000
feet above tho vast fat plain which
bears its name and reigns over the sur
rounding mountains. Early In the morn
ing, while all the valleys of Ararat and
the neighboring mountains are buried
in shadow, the white top of the Scrip
tural mountain gloams beautiful in the
first beams of the sun.
The Armenian people tell this story
about the inhabitants of Pharbee:
Once the devil and a Pharbee man
laid wager as to which should first
see the sun. The one who saw 1t first
was to box the others ears. Very
well" said the Armenian, and he lay
down and slept sweetly, while the dew
il, itching to punish his enemy, stood
looking eastward, and with eager eyes
watched the whole night for the sunrise.
Early in the morning, the Pharbee man
rose, and pointing to the top of Ararat,
which was already shining in the sun,
cried joyfully, II see itl'' The devil
was vanquished. The Pharbee man,
with his strong hand, boxed the DEVILS
ears. Ever since that time, the devil
has been afraid of the people of the Ar
menian village of Pharbes. Woman's

Ex-Empress Eugene.

The ex-Empress Eugenie has settled
down into the solitude which best ena-
bles her to endure her memorable and
cumulative SORROWS. Her tall, sad fig
ure goes in and out among us with only
the recognition of silent sympathy. The
empress likes to have communication
with. as few people as possible. For
instance, when she shops-she does her
own shopping likes to be waited
on by the same salesman always. /
was witness Of an incident of this sort
the other day. The empress walked
into well known west end shop and
asked for Mr.. -, naming one of the
head men, She was told he was out,
whereupon she remarked that she would
call again and went away. l was told
that she certainly would come again;
that Mr.. always waited on her,
and that she would not be served by
any one else.-London Western Mail.

Hollow spars.


The use Of hollow spars for boats de-
signed to attain great speed has intro
duced new and novel industry requir-
ing workmanship of the finest charac-
ter. The stick for this purpose is re-
quired to be Of exceptionally fine and
straight grain, and after being roughly
shaped is split longitudinally from end
to end; the center Of each of the halves
is then followed out, and greater or
less amount is removed, according to
the intended location of the spar, the
upper spars being much the lighter.
These hollows run nearly the length of
the spar, great care being essential to
have them follow the taper of the out
side of the spar exactly, to insure uni
form thickness at every point of course
when this has been done and the two
halves of the spar replaced in their
original position, circular hole is left
in the center of the spar, running near
~ the whole length, and following its
taper from end to end. After this the
two halves are fastened i'll place again
by means of wooden bowels, which fas-
ten the split together, being placed al
ternately on either side of the central
hollow, and both bowels and split are
carefully glued. These bowels vary in
fize with the size of the spar, but are
. Usually as long as they can be made
without piercing its outside surface.
They are placed slightly nearer the Gen.
ter hollow than the outside, in order to
give them all the length possible. In
small spars the glue and the bowels
suffice, but in large ones metal bands on
the outside are ded.-New York Sun.

Negro Superstitions.

Among the superstitions of southern
negroes are those which make it a most
unfavorable thing to see black cat
crossing ones path, or to turn back
without making a cross" in the street,
road or path. The belief in witches
is perhaps more general than any other,
and an congressman tells of case in
this section within the past 80 years in
which a witch was killed in a very
strange fashion. A negro called on
witch doctor. a very old woman, and
was told that the cause of the trouble
was a witch and that she must be kill
ed; that the only way possible to thus
put her out of the way was to go into
the woods and cut the figure of per-
son on the bark of a big pine tree, mark
cross on the body and shoot this with
q silver bullet, the cross representing
the witch's heart. The shooting was
duly done in the presence of quite
number of persons. This occurred In
the northern part of this county. Ce-
dar balls are carried in the pockets as
protection against witches. The ne
gro belief in these is certainly fully
matched by that of white men who car
ry in their pockets buckeyes and Irish
potatoes, c. who wear thick iron rings
on their fingers as preventive of rheu-
matism. Washington Star.
