A Tariff Effect.

The young woman's father was one
of those men who talk tariff so much
that in time they learn to disregard
the comfort of their families and talk
it in the home circle Thus it was
that the girl knew as much about the
tariff as she did about housekeeping.
Yet she found time in the midst of
her political economy to have a couple
of real sweethearts, not to speak of
a host of fellows who wanted to be.
Of the two favored ones, one was a
farmers son and the other was a
swell youth from the city. This lat
ter she in time chose as the one, and
when her father heard of it he called
her before him.

iWoMEN CRIMINALS.
The Record They Have Made al Murderers
Is Bad One.

The Record They Have Made al Murderers
Is Bad One.
Continuing his discussion Of the in
crease in the number of female crimi-
mails in Europe and America, DR..
Hugo Muench, the eminent Berlin
sociologist, said to a ST. Louis repor-
ter: 1.-THE woman who captivated
more men in a given time and spent
more money in better style than any
other in Paris was Miss Sutherland,
a New York girl. Josie Mansfield
was almost as notorious in the French
capital as in the American metropolis.
1t was an American beauty, Miss
BIackford, who eaptivated the Rus
sian Grand Duke and held him in alb
ject slavery for many months. And,
60 where you will throughout Europe.
you will find the greatest swath in
the way Of high class crime is being
cut by American women. Investiga-
ton has shown me that the number of
adventureSses in New York is some
thing startling-most of them made
SO by the necessities Of American high
pressure life.
In the more serious class Of crimes
women are ON an equality with men.
In one line Of iniquity Of the blacklist
description, poisoning, they surpass
men. Poisoning has ever been a wo-
mans crime, both in ancient and
modern times. Jocasta, Catherine de
Medici, Lucretia Borgia, the March
!oness de Brinvilliers are familiar ex-
amples in point And in this coun-
try, out Of seventy-two cases Of pois-
oning, Of which count has been kept
during the last nineteen years, fifty
eight have been attempted by women
To such an extent has poisoning by
women been carried that in a case of
so-called mysterious poisoning the de-
tectives turn to look for a female, and
seldom turn In vain.
"As murderers, women have in the
nineteenth century been making
bloody record. Account for it as phil
osophers or moralists may, the facts
seem to show that since woman has
asserted her rights to struggle for her
self with the world on the same terms
as man she has likewise struggled
violently, and often murderously, with
men and women. The number of muir
deresses in the nineteenth century has
been as great as the number Of hero
ines. Nor have the muderesses been
confined to the under class, outside, as
1t were, Of the restraints of civiliza-
ton. On the contrary, there have
been more murders or killings COM
mitted by women in large cities, Or
civilized communities, than On the
frontiers or border lands. Women
know very we'll that in America, at
least, there is a sentimental prejudice
against hanging one of their sex, and,
with their characteristic cunning, they
are taking advantage Of this fact"

A Curiosity of the Law.

Additions to rented premises, when
made by the tenant, should never be
fastened with nails, but with screws,
says st. Louis lawyer. The reason
for this lies in the fact that should he
wish to move away and take with
him the boards and other lumber COM
posing the improvements he has made
he can simply draw out the screws
and take the planks. If he fastens
them with nails, however, he can re-
move nothing, and the improvements
become the landlords property. The
fact results from a legal bubble, in
sisting that articles Fastened with
screws are for temporary use, and if
put in place by the tenant are his
own property.
