Killing by Wholesale

A homicide occurs every two hour,
insItaly. This is one of the many start
ling statements made by Baron Garcia
10, distinguished Italian criminologist
in a lecture delivered on "CriminaIity In
Relation to the education of the PEG.
ple,' in the Roman college. His audi
ence included Queen Margherita.
In Italy the annual loss of life by no
micide usually by lethal weaponsl num-
bers about 1000 souls. Compared with
France, for inst ance, she has ten homi.

Denmark's one. The Latin populations,

indeed, In both hemispheres, have bad
pre-eminence over the Teutonic In

orally, and of these Latin population
the Italian is the worst.
Baron Gorafalo proceeded to give the
reasons why. In the first place, vendet.
ia, which in Greece was heroism, and
mediv@val Europe, laudable custom,
has fingered longer in Italy than in
In any other country; duelling, also, is
more frequent in Italy than elsewhere.
To the religious instructions given in
Great Britain and the United States of
America, he attributed the fact that
these countries have In forty years d.
minished by one-half the annual pro-
duction of their delinquents and mendi-
cants, while in Italy the want of similar
instruction has resulted in the positive
increase of delinquency and mendican-
cy since 1863. When to these consider
ations we add the in reased hardness of
living In the young Kingdom the strain
put upon the moral resisting power by
poverty, the squallid dwellings, the de-
fective alimentation, by which the brain
is starved, when 1t is not actually poi
soned, by the stimulents in which relief
from misery is sought. and the deprecIa-
ton of life as 1t exists under such condi-
tons, we arrive at an ensemble of causes
which quite accounts for these sad sta

There is no truth whatever in the
common belief that the moon or the
stars have any effect whatever on the
growth of plants or animals or on the
weather. This belief is an odd relic of
paganism, when the sun, moon and stars
were objects of worst lip, as deities that
control the universe, and had to be pro-
plated by sacrifices and adoration.-New

A Hot Bath Will Bring Sleep.

Suppose person be tired out by over
work of any kind, to feel nervous, irrita-
Bile and worn, to be absolutely certain
that bed means only tossing for hours in
an unhappy wakefulness. We all know
this condition of the body and mind.
Turn on the hot water in the bath room
and soak in the hot bath until the
drowsy feeling comes, which will be
within three minutes, rub yourself
briskly with coarse Turkish towel un
til the body is perfectly dry and then go
to bed. You will sleep the sleep of the

how you could have felt SO badly the
night before. The bath has saved ma y
a one from sleepless night, If not from
a severe headache the next day.-Dr.

A Thought. weIghInr Maehine.

Prof. Mosso, the great Italian physi-
ologist, has invented scale or balance,
which may very properly be called a
"thought-weighing machine" He shows
by experiment that the act of thinking
causes the blood to rush to Ethe head,
the amount of rush depending on the
nature of the thought. The professor
proves this by balancing a man in a
horizontal position on his delicate
"thought weighing SCALE" This scale is
SO nicely balanced that when the man
begins TO think the rush of blood TO his
head turns the SCALE 1t Is claimed that
the machine will even indicate to a per-
son who ccnsults the scale whether the
one on the balance is reading Greek or
Latin, the great mental exertion re-
quired for the Greek producing more
copious flow Of blood towards the head
and corresponding depression of that
end of the balance.

When she received it she did what
any other true hearted woman would

going back to town.
But so strongly had the sense of his
utter unworthiness been placed before

tears of his sweetheart were alike una
vailing to turn him from his purpose.
Broken hearted the girl took up the
thread of her life again 1t was not

lutely nothing to do with her daughter

that it was all the doings of Consuelo
herself, but the girl, and a few of her
intimate friends, knew better, and in
short time the marriage took place.
She was a good wife to her brutal
rogue of a husband and bore him three
children.
In the meantime, after the marriage of
Consuelo, her former lover married the
daughter of his employer, a coarse, vul-
gar woman with shrewish temper.
And now comes in the sadest part Of
the little romance. He had not been mar
ried six months when Consuelo's hus-
band died. leaving her free. Had it only
come to her six short months sooner
how different things would have been,
but now it was too late.
For the first time in her life the deli

pendent upon her own exertiOns forced
to earn living not only for herself, but
her three little ones; but she was equal
to the emergency, and earned a COM
Portable competency for them by giving
music lessons.
1t was hard life and she broke down
under the strain. Then the doctor or
dered her away. Placing her children
with her mother she left the country.
When she returned it was as the af-
ffanced wife of a man whom she met in
that far away country. Taking her
children she went out to meet him, but
before leaving she told my friend that
her heart was still true to her first love.
that no matter how many miles of land
and sea should separate them, that the
moment the news reached her that he
was free, she would leave all, husband,
children, friends and go to him, and
my friends, who can blame her? Can
you? Can I? Let us not Judge her
hastily, for remember she has loved
much, and suffered more.

TRAP SHOOTING.
Murphy Defeats Work in Very Close
Match.

Murphy Defeats Work in a Very Close
Match.
BABYLON L. u, March 3.-Edgar
G.. Murphy, the Irish giant, defeated
George Work in a very exciting match
of 200 birds at the Westminster Ken
mel Clubs grounds to-day. The at
mospherical conditions were anything
but favorable to the match. A bit
terly cold wind which swept across the
ground whirled the fine snow off the
ground in gusts, and in a good many
instances carried birds dead out of
bounds that would have otherwise been
scored. The betting shortly after the
start was 3 to l on Work, and at one
time his lead of seven justified the odds.
When the seventy-ffth bird was shot
Work had lead of five, the scores be-
ing: Work-Killed, IS; lost, II; Muir
phy-killed, SO; lost, -. After the
fourth round Works lead was reduced
to one, the card reading. Work 73 killed,
Murphy 70 Even money was the best
price obtainable then, and from this un-
til the 19Sth bird was grassed it was a
close, exciting duel.
The score was even up to the 156th
bird. Murphy's 10th, a fast right
quarterer, fell dead out of bounds, but
Work missed the next two, leaving the
Irishman one in the van. The 162d,
however, was too much for Murphy,
and the 163d took both barrels and fell
dead just out of bounds.
This left Work again ahead by one
bird, and he kept it up to the 1S5th bird,
which Murphy missed. and thus in
creased Works advantage to two.
Both lost their 1S6th bird, Murphy's
dropping dead just outside of bounds.
The 1S9th bird beat Work, and his
lead again dropped to cne. Work had
hard luck III losing his 191st, which was
hard hit and was helped over the fence
by the wind The 192d got clear away,
leaving Murphy in the lead.
From this to the 195th both killed
straight, and it was anybody's race.
The excitement waxed high until muir
mur Of disappointment from his sup
pcrters announced that Work had
failed to bring down the second last
bird, thus clinching the win for Muir
ply. Both grassed their last birds, and
Murphy was the winner, with 152
killed and 4S missed, to Works 80
dead and 30 lost.
Murphy made the best run of II sue
cessive kills, which he followed up with
is soon after. Works best contribution
was 10 straight kills.
