FORCE WOMEN TO BETRAY MEN.
With the Paris Police Efficacy Is the Chic,
Thing in Catching a Criminal

With the Paris Police Efficacy Is the Chief
Thing In Catching a Criminal
The Partisan police have of late
given proof of extraordinary activity.
Some weeks ago it undertook to
cleanse the Bois de Bologne, the
Bois de Vincennes and the outer
boulevards from the gangs of vaga-
bonds that infested them. Hundreds
of homeless individuals were arrested
and turned over to various reforma-
tories; or, in the case of wanted"
criminals, to prisons
Within a few days the central police
brigade has succeeded in arresting a
large band of thieves, burglars and
shoplifters- The band was thoroughly
organized and worked under the d.
rection of man named Corbeaux, who
possessed carriage and pair, as we'll
as town and country residence. Once
fairly caught, Corbeaux, or la
Morue" (Codfsh), as he was generally
known, informed against his sub
ordinates, hoping thus to escape pun
ishment
He was disappointed He was con.
demned to fifteen years hard labor,
and his associates to shorter terms of
the same punishment
The police owe their success in this
instance to the application of the
famous principle. "Cherchez la femme" !"
which for century past has been the
keystone of the Partisan detective or
panization. The method of procedure
is as simple as it is efficacious When
doubts are entertained as to the means
by which a given individual earns his
living, or when known criminal is
"wanted," the police look out for and
arrest (when found the woman with
whom the man in question is most in
innate. What happens afterward de-
pends largely upon the character OF
the person wanted.
Sometimes the police will arrest a
woman conspicuous among the mans
associates, who, in order to obtain her
release, will usually tell all she knows
about the life and antecedents OF the
acprehended criminal Information
so obtained is not, however. directly
used against the prisoner. but is en-
ployed to induce him to confess; or. II
he prove obdurate, as ciew for the
researches of the detective depart

to abolish this system of criminal in

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

ROTATION is essential to all proper
farming.
THE milk does not become normal
until the fifth day after calving.
If butter color is used it should be
added to the cream before churning is
begun.
MILK remaining in the udder longer
than twelve hours loses in quantity and
quality.
IT does not pay to raise scrub horses.
but there is always demand for first
class animals.
Be careful not to change suddenly
from old to new oats, and do not feed
the latter in large quantities.
DIsBUDDING is better than pruning.
It saves the strength and vigor of the
tree and the labor of the owner.
ANTHRAX is reported to be spreading
among the cattle of New Jersey, and a
great many losses are announced.
Cows KEPT on dry food alone require
run of the pasture or are given succu-
lent food.
THE production of wine in France for
the year 1894 was 1,031 900, 900 gallons,
while that of the United States was
only %, ,ooo, 900 gallons.
1T is said that the polled Angus
grades are more in demand in Europe
than any other cattle. Herefords come
next and Durhams last.

a Hint for Sheep Raisers.

The sheep produces profit from four
sources--mutton, lamb, wool and the
manure-yet for half a century the
majority of farmers have kept sheep
for wool principally, being satisfied
with small profit on wool instead of
supplying the markets with mutton
and lamb. From four to seven pounds
is about all the wool that is procured
from ordinary fiocks, and more fre-
quently four pounds is the average;
yet farmers overlook the better paying
articles-mutton and lamb-to procure
the less profitable, wool.

extinguished, Strazini eats the pecu-
liar mixture, labelling it opt with a
spoon, writes Leipsic correspondent.
He follows this up by biting piecs
after piece from the lamp chimney,
crushing the glass between his teeth
and swallowing it. He washes it
down with little water. For dessert
he munches pieces OF hard coal, peat,
washing soap. tallow candles, pieces
OF plaster cast and bricks. boots, clay
pipes, and seems to enjoy the con
glomeration. All this is eaten at one
meal and in quick succession A lit

and shreds OF champagne bottles,

this he dives with his feet, jumps
about in all directions, and ends by

The strange part OF it is that he comes
out of it without a scratch. His cui-

THE DECLINE OF WAR.
Pursuit of Property and Wealth the Main

Cause.
The warlike temperament Of man has
been one of the most prominent char
acteristics from the earliest times, To
live to fight has been the chief aim Of
most primitive peoples, and has been a
leading occupation OF all civilized ones,
says the Popular Science Monthly.
Armies have grown in size, weapons
have multiplied In number and destruc-
tiyeneSs, battles have grown more and
more deadly in action, while also be
coming more merciful in their accom-
paniments; but still 1t is everywhere
apparent that, in spite of these aids TO
carnage, the military spirit is on the
decline.
May we not look for the cause Of this
in the enormously increased cost of
warfare and its interference with the
pursuit of prosperity and wealth. When
the Internal losses to a people become
greater than those they can gain
through conquest and annexation they
will be very loath to enter into great
conflict
am very far from saying that many
other causes, such as ethics and a
growing spirit of mercy, may not have
contributed TO this pacifcation of the ma
tons, but is it not true that the cost Of
war is the chief preventative of war?
If, so, does 1t not Illustrate the rule
that the reactions set up by the vast
technical improvement Of methods of
destruction haye reacted on the primi-
tive cause of the destruction-Fiz., the
human willard have lessened the
cause by modifying the heart and brain
of man:
