Trades are Preventative Of Crime

Illiteracy no doubt promotes crime,
though frequent instances of shocking
crminality on the part OF we'll educated
men and women prove that no amount
OF intellectual training alone will over
come criminal tendencies or rob tempta-
ton OF its power. Where the percentage
Of illiterates to the whole population, as
in Pennsylvania, for instance, is only
8 s per cent, the percentage Of illiterates
among prison Convicts is shown to be Is
per cent-so that schooling is proved to
effect Il vast diminutiOn in the criminal
record. But book learning il as nothing
compared with the know ledge of a good
trade as preventive OF crime. The il.
literate man, equipped with bread win.
ming trade, is far less liable to resort to
crime as means of livelihood than the
educated man, sn-calIed, not thus equip.
ped. This is proved by other Pennsyl-
vania figures, showing that only seventy
two out OF G23 convicts had ever learned
trade. Only II per cent could earn an
honest living by manual work, otherwise
than IN the overcr0wded field OF common
labor. These figures show conclusively
that manual training is the most valuable
adjunct to moral training for the proven.
ton of crime. The more manual train.
ing schools we build the less money need
we expend for prisons. And all circum-
stances and combinations which close the
doors of shops and factories to youths OF
sixteen and upwards, and prevent them
from acquiring bread winning arts, should
be disfavored by every one anxious for
the publication of society.

Pneumatic Tires.

The extent OF the demand for rubber in
manufacturing pneumatic tires can be
partly appreciated by a glance at the
growth of the companies who are engaged
in making the tires. 1t was only in 1889
that the Belfast veterinary surgeon NAM
ell Dunlop first discovered by accident
the value OF pneumatic tire for the
bicycle. In the latte: part of the same
year friend of his organized company
to manufacture the pneumatic tire for
wheels. Fifteen months after its forma-
ton it declared dividend of 10 per cent
on its capital OF 100000 This was in
1891, and two years later the company
declared dividend of s. 100000. In
1896 the rights OF tie company were sold
to syndicate for S!5 ,000,0 900. The syn
dictate openly asked for subscriptions,
and so eager were people to invest their
money in the enterprise that 81 900, 600
was subscribed in less than three hours
in Belfast after the books we're opened.
The syndicate company was capitalized
at $50 100000.
Meanwhile American manufacturers
failed to appreciated the good thing, and
no exclusive franchise was applied for in
this country until too late. Consequent
ly while in Great Britain there is patent
right stamped upon every pneumatic tire
that is sold, in this country no such tax
is exacted from the purchaser. Had the
British company obtained the patent
right in the United States they would
have added many more millions to their
nrnfita

The Browning Club held u
Browning evening, March Goth,
at the residence of Mrs. j. L.
Nelson. Had a very good at
tendance. The program was
rich and full, but all on duty
tailed to be prepared on work
assigned, so of course its CON-
pleteness was married. The roll
was called and the responses
were fayorite selections from
either Mr.. or Mrs. Browning.
Some only had eouplet. while
others almost a whole poem.
The principal events in the
lives of the favored poet and
pOetess that We esteem above
all others, were discussed. Sew
eral poems were read and all
their beauties commented on.
Ii was found that the oftener
they were read, the clearer they
become, and their beauties
would unfold like the petals of
the opening flower.
Mrs. Cr0xton gave a memory
sketch of the life of Mrs. Brown
ing one OF the few leading poets
of her sex of the 18th century.
Her poetry tends to elevate and
refine humanity. Particular
mention was made of her life IN
her adopted country, Italy.
Her ardent love for the land OF
sunshine and of art drew from
her some of her finest out-pour-
ings of song. She felt the sa-
eredness of poetry and always
sought the fountain-head of all
inspiration-the human heart,
and essayed TO find out its close
relations with God. One of her
Imost perfect poems, Casa
Guide Windows doubtless con
tains much of her finest writing,
but her fame rests chiefly on
