French statisticians, criminal invest
igators and other curiousiy inclined
searchers into crime and it's conse-
quences and characteristics have been
figuring on the profitableness of muir
der, and their conclusions are that il
does not pay. Their investigations
cover twenty-one murders in which the
aggregate sum received was only $3.50
and Of these twenty-one sixteen were
executed. There is nothing in these
figures to stimulate to the commission
OF murder as means of wealth. Crime
seldom pays.

THE FASHIONABTE COIFF1rB

HE tASHlONABLE COIFFURE.
To be strictly up to date, the back
hair should be waved in large waves
and well cOmbed out, then pushed
downward with pompadour-combs
made for that purpose. Women with
heavy suits of hair wear close knots
of braid for the morning, and crimp
the front, combing it back plain from
the forehead without the exaggerated
roll. The part is seldom seen, and
never on woman who make any pre-
tentions to fashion; but soft bang,
worn very short, is stfll worn by wo-
men who have never given up this
style. Side-combs are more worn than
ever, and come in sets Of three and
four. The most stylish ones are hing
ed together. In sets of four, one goes
above the knot, one below, and one
On either side. In sets of three, the
middle comb is generally used above
the knot, and is trife higher and
mole ornate than the two side combs.
The teeth of the combs are coarser
and placed farther apart, and curve to
fit the head. Many of them are plain,
others are ornamented with narrow
bands of silver or gold, and still others
are beautifully carved.-January wo-

There is wisdom and conservatism
and good sound Uncle Sam in the
position taken by President Mckinley
as to the affairs in the east. He does
not deem it the business of the gov
eminent of the United States to inter-
fere in the affairs of China, beyond
seeing that the trade treaties that this
country has with that are preserved
inviolate. If Russia and Great Bri-
tain and Germany take possession OF
China, then the government of the
United States will look to those coun-
tries to see that the rights that this
nation has in China are preserved in
the new condition, without impair
ment. So long as this is done the
United States has nothing farther to
say. This is about the size Of it ac-
cording to William Mckinley. With
this conclusion of the government Of
the country the people of the country
will rest.

RussIA's NEW MOVE.

The occupation of Kin Chow, or Xii
Chau as ii is spelled in the dispatches
is one of the most important move
ments that Russia could have made for
the permanent occupancy and control
of the upper bay of the famous gulf OF
Pechili. With her occupation of Port
| Arthur she now commands all the
| mouths of the rivers entering into the
gulf and her position on the line of pro-
posed railway to the gulf gives her
command OF the interior. Her ap-
proaches from the southern limits of
her own empire to her present position
are thus assured and it will be found
impracticable to make any demon
stration against her from the land side
III she concludes to hold the place at
all hazards and Germany enters into
an agreement with her for the division
of territory there is nothing likely to
successfully dispute her claim to the
territory that she has seized. 1t is
plain from the position thus taken up
that Russia intends to push her own
southern line down on the Gulf of Pc
chill and occupy the whole Manchurian
territory. 1t Is a bold stroke and i'm
taking it Russia has advanced long
and rapid stride toward becoming the
mistress of Asia. Already overlap
ping China on the east and north, by
this movement she comes down on the
west and takes possession of the
mouths of the important rivers that
put up through Manchuria TO her own
southern border. BY this act she vir
tually cuts line through Eastern Chi
na at about the 10th meridian and Sc
questers for herself all that lies to the
east of that line. This gives her a
position on the Pacific ocean that deties
and prepares her to run to
that lower Pacific station those inn
mense lines of railway that are con-
Meeting her capital on the Baltic with
her own ice-bound port farther up the
Pacific coast. This is just what Rus
STA has long desired and deeminS the
hour ripe has lost no time in taking
possession. What great results may
wait upon this quiet and unforeseen oc-
cupation cannot be even conJectured.
but il is in the line of the control OF
Asia by the prospectively greatest EN- |
pire on the globe. Great Britain may
well look with alarm upon this move
ment. With Constantinople well with |
in her grasp and the Ottoman empire |
but a dependence of Russia, and her
eastern arm extended 10 take in the
points between the Yellow |
81 and her own southern borders, her |
railways betting the immense distance
between the Baltic and the Gult OF
Pechili, her canals connecting that Bal
tic with Constantinople, there is little |
to prevent her successfully assuming
to direct the empire of both Europe |
and Asia.
