At the Anthropological congress, just
closed in Geneva, one professor of
criminology made an interesting COM
munication concerning crime and it's
relation to trades and professions. For
example, in group of 10000 farmers
he showed 0:S4 per cent. to be GRIMM
ais; in trades, per cent; in manufac-
lures, 1872 per cent; while in the pro-
fessions the rate was as high as 230
per cent The 2:30 per cent. of GRIMM
ais in the professions is thus distribut-
ed: In group of 10000 clergymen,
OIL per cent. are criminals; teachers,
15S; physicians, 1856; chemists and
apothecaries, $40; government en-
pIoyes, 7.15, and diplomatists, lawyers,
notaries, ct al, 2S.13.

The unwritten law of the road, Keep
TO the right has had a strong affirma-
ton by Judge Cox of Indianapolis, in a
decision that a man driving a horse on
the left side of the street who ran into
a young man riding a bicycle on the
right side, of course, was responsible
for the accident. The man who drives
on the wrong side of the street is pre-
sumed by Judge Cox to be guilty of an
intention to commit assault and bat
terry. The same guilty intention is
ascribed by the judge to a bicyeler
riding on the sidewalk. He does so en-
tirely at his own risk, Judge Cox says,
and in case of collision must be held
guilty of Intentional assault and bat
terry. This, of course, is in addition to
the penalty of riding a vehicle on a

FASHION NOTES.
Sensible Business Gowns.

Ladies' tailors are showing business
gowns with skirts frankly above the
ankles. They do not call these wheel
dresses, and they are not, but are
dresses planned for the woman whose
business takes her out every day, or for
the woman in the suburbs whose shop
ping becomes business at least twice
a week, and whose long skirt has been
the last unbearable nuisance of such
business. These new skirts are silk
lined, and made in one at the belt with
scant knickerbockers. The house pet
ticoat being slipped off this skirt goes
right on over the other underwear, the
attached knicks covering all white.
The skirt is prettily full, hangs fault
lessly and absolutely makes a woman
stand UP properly. Indeed. it is no
