A Wasted Sermon.

A teacher in a large public school at
Peckham has recently been much an
noyed by the persistency with which
one of her scholars plays truant. She
was on the point of reporting his case,
when she spoke to one of the lady SUI
pervisors. This lady believes in kind
ness rather than harsher measures and
told the teacher to send the offender to
her house the next time he was trouble.
some.
So one afternoon there appeared at the
lady's house boy. The supervisor was
all smiles and attention. and she treat
ed him to "spread" the like of which
he probably had never enjoyed before.
he was soon made to feel perfectly at
home.
Now" thought the benefactress.
"is the time to preach my little ser
mon. ;" So she put before him the evils
OF playing truant and besought him to
be model boy in the future.
Imagine her surprise when he said to
her:

a Lady Married a Chinaman.

Miss Emma Ellen Howse, graduate Of
Stanford university, who welded Walter
Ngong Fong, n young Chinese at Denver
recently, met her husband at Stanford.
She was special student in history, and
he was in the same classes with her She
is bright and pretty. Fong graduated
from the university of Pacific at San Jose.
and then took IA postgraduate course at
Stanford. He paid his way at San Jose
by interpreting in courts.
He is Christian and was active in mis-
sion work while here. A few months ago
he was credited with being at the head of
a powerful organization of educated Chi
nese in this country whose object was the
overthrow of the present dynasty and the
transformation of the Chinese empire into
great oriental republic. This was a ca
nard, but Fong believes in Marquis Tseng's
prediction of a great awakening in China
in the near future. He has discarded his
cue, dresses in American style, and only
his features show that he is Chinese, as he
speaks without accent-Kansas City

"Disperge!"

Shakespeare, who rendered eloquent
tribute to the native authority of kings,
lords and military commanders, seldom
shows like respect in his treatment of
civic dignitaries. Justice Shallow and
DogberTy, for instance, are so delicious
ly absurd that their sayings have often
been criticised as too good to be true.
Perhaps, but they can occasionally be
pretty closely paralleled.
There is something quite in tho
Shakespearean manner in the simplicity
of a former magistrate Of Newburyport,
in the old day of cues and ruffled
shirt bosoms. A case was being tried
before him in which the accused, who
stoutly denied the charge, was asserted
to have stolen from a gentleman new
set Of shirts.
"a pretty story that should take his
shirts!' exclaimed the irate culprit But
when he was searched moment later
it was revealed that he was at the mo-
ment arrayed in the whole six, one over
the other. The good justice was shocked.
"What villainv' he exclaimed. Then
he added reproachfully: why didn't
you tell me you were villain? Why
didn't you save the time of the court,
the spectators and the witnesses by own
ing up you were villain in the first
placer"
A few years later constable Of the
same town made a remark worthy of
Dogberry himself A knot of little boys
had been hanging about the entrance to
the town hall before public meeting.
AS the officer came in sight all ran away
but one, and to this lone youngster he
addressed his orders in tone of mingled
dignity and wrath.

"A Spiders Web.

1t is hard TO realize how small spi-
1er's web really is. A famous micro
scopist once made some interesting com.
parsons of cobweb with human hair.
81 have often compared the size of
the thread spun by full grown spiders
with hair Of my beard" he says. II
placed the tbickest part of the hair be-
fore the microsc 20, and, from the most
accurate judgm q q, could form, more
than 100 of such threads placed side by
side could not equal the diameter Of
one of such hair. If, then, we suppose
such hair to be of round form, it fol-
lows that 10000 threads spun by the
full grown spider, when taken together,
will not be equal in substance to the
size of single hair. To this, if we add
that 400 young spiders at the time when
they begin to spin their webs are not
larger than one full grown one and
that each of these minute spiders pos.
scsses the same organs as the larger
cnes, it follows that the exceedingly
small threads spun by these little crea'
lures must be still 400 times slenderer,
and consequently that 100000 OF
these minute spiders threads cannot
equal in substance the size of single
hair. Chicago Record.

TATTOOiNG.'
Criminals, Surprising to Relate, Seem On
Have n Weakness For 1t.

4
LIT is curious fact, to which Grim
biologists have not paid much attention,
that large proportion of instructive
criminals have tattoo marks put upon
their persons. said DR.. George S. Will
liams, physician of the Missouri peni.
Tertiary. "It is a paradox that this
fancy should be part of the criminal
mind, for tattoo marks the subject
for life. 1t would seem more natural
for the criminal to avoid all such marks
in order to the better conceal his iden-
tity from the sleuths Of the law. The
operation of tattooing is quite painful,
but even this is not deterrent. Grim
inals, by the way, seem able to stand
more pain than persons of honest in
stincts and habits. The desire to be tat
tooed, however, is the strangest and
most incomprehensible freak of the
criminal intellect. 1t cannot be account
ed for ON any other hypothesis than
that there is an unyielding and invari-
able compensating law of nature which
operates in the interest Of orderly con-
duct and behavior. But for the tattoo
marks with which many hardened and
incorrigible wretches decorate their
skin many a criminal who is now con-
fined behind strong prison walls where
he can do the world the least amount
of harm would be at liberty today,
preying on society.
1.-THE custom Of tattooing is as pop
ular among the female criminals as
among the males, though women rarely
have the mark put in as conspicuous
places as the men. There is an interest
ing field of study here for the student
of criminology. Lombroso has merely
called attention to the fact of which l
speak without attempting to explain
the causes that lead to it, but he is the
only specialist of note that seems to
have given the matter any notice. 1t
more frequently happens than otherwise
that criminals who submit to the tat
tooing operation choose design sug-
gestive of the lewd and libidinous, and
in this is contained the positive hint Of
q diseased condition of mind which
probably explains the real cause of the
foolish and unbusinesslike custom. The
habit seems to be so universal among
instructive criminals that | am inclined
to believe there must be some one or
more institutions in the country where
they get the work done. Few of them
here will give the slightest hint of when
or where they had the work done, which
leads to the supposition that it is one of
the numerous secrets of the craft -
