blank, was found on the boldly of a woman

and the woman took every p%recaution to
conceal her identity. The body was that Of
a woman about thirty years old, five feet
six inches in height, of fine proportions and
a face of striking beauty set off by mag
nifcent black hair. Some of her clothing
had the stamp of "Schleisinger & Mayer,

writing was found on her that would dis

The disposition of the ashes is provided for
in q mysterious fashion. A torn paper was
inclosed with the direction that the ashes
be turned over to the person who should

were turned over to the coroner and the
woman's body sent TO the morgue. The

Facts About Dust.

OF all other factors, perhaps dust has
its considerable part in the process OF
nature, for microscopic atmosphere does
not always consist of the coarse notes
which may be sometimes seen in the
pataI sunbeam. There is much that
Is wonderful and mysterious concealed
in the existence of dust, for even in the
pure air, at an elevation of 4, 900 feet,
it has been ascertained that there are
about 81, 900 dust particles per cubic
inch, but in a room in a crowded city
they would amount to no less than 80, :
900, 900 particles per cubic inch. 1t will
be, therefore, easy to understand how
important an influence this invisible
dust must exercise over the health con-
ditions of highly sensitive organism.
Although their chemical analysis Is
difficult the more exact elements OF
these dust particles can be scientifically
determined. These minute atoms are al
first microscopic, but become visible and
are ever increased by contact with the
surrounding land and water. Perhaps,
however, that which concerns atnfos-
pheric hygiene most is the living organ
isms contained among the dust PARTICLES
or bacteria, as we call them. atio0al

Fines In Athens.

The income of Athens from fines ap-
pears to have been considerable and to
have constituted singular and perma-
nent feature of the fiscal policy of the
state. The method of assessment may be
best illus ted by examples. Thus II
duly authorized officials did not hold
certain assemblages, according to rule,
or properly conduct the appointed bust
ness they each had to pay 1000
drachmas ($2OO). If an orator conducted
himself indecorously in public assem-
bly,, he could be fined SO drachmas ($10)
for each offense, which might be raised
to higher sum at the pleasure Of the
people. A woman conducting herself
improperly in the streets paid similar
penalty. If woman went to Eleusis i'll
a carriage, she subjected herself to fine
of talent ($1, 1907.
In the case of wealthy or notable per-
sons fines for omissions or commissions
in respect to conduct were made much
greater, and so more productive of rev.
enue, and there were very few notable
or wealthy citizens of Athens who, I'M
der the rule of demagogues and through
specious accusations of offenses against
the state OR the gods, escaped the pay
ment of heavy fines, the experiences of
Miltiades, Themistoles, Aristides, De-
mosthenes, Pericles, Cleon and limo
theus being cases in point Every person
who failed to pay a fine owH.g to the
state was reckoned as a public debtor
and was subject to imprisonment and a
practical denial of citizenship, Mil
tiades, the victor at Marathon, for ex-
ample, having been east into prison
(where he afterward died) through an
inability to pay fine assessed against
him of so talents. Appleton Science

Lincoln's Birthday,

Lincoln's Birthday was observed as
a holiday at the prison in the usual
manner by a most excellent chapel
program, and the usual holiday privi-
lege of unrestricted conversation and
merriment in the dollhouse. The chapel
program began at A. NJ, "Dixie's
Land,' sung by the prison choir, being
the first number. This song stirred up
considerable enthusiasm in the resi-
dent portion of the audience, and as
the words rang out, 81 wish l was in
Dixie" many poor fellows, no doubt,
heartily joined in the wish that they
were in Dixie-or at the north pole.
The next number, a lullaby, "Rocka
by-baby," sweetly sung by Miss Gertie
Wolfer, after which the speaker of the
day, the Rev. j. A. Brown, pastor of
the Baptist church, city, was intro
duced by Rev. J. A. Albert The ad-
dress was we'll received and list
ened to with rapt attention, the
frequent bursts of applause following
the speakers thrilling words in eulogy
of the immortal Lincoln being evidence
that Americas martyred president was
held in loving remembrance.
At the conclusion of the orators ad-
dress Warden Wolfer introduced Prof.
Byron, of Minneapolis. The Professor
arose and made a courteous, apology
for disappointing us on a former holt
day by arriving at the prison too late
to participate in the program, "but," "
said he, 81 shall endeavor to make
amends on the present occasion for
my sins of omission in the past" and
right royalty was the promise kept.
Recitation followed recitation without
intermission, the pathetic, which
brought the unbidden tears to the eyes
of the boys, followed by the humorous
which convulsed the hearers with
laughter. Character sketches, Irish,
German, scandinavian, French and
Italian were rendered true to life in
gesture and accent, and showed the

The closing number of the program
was song, Little Alabama COOn,' by

indicative of lack of confidence in his

have such few opportunities for social

are enjoyed to the utmost, and many
signs of regret were heard when the

warned us that the stern rules of prison

A dozen or more of the associate ed
itors of this paper have asked us if we
intended to report the Sunday services,
and as there may be others interested
in this momentous question we will
make one reply suffice for all. No, the
Sunday sermons will not be reported,
and these are our reasons for this
course: First, we do not think our crude
efforts at reporting would do justice to
our eloquent divines; and second, even
the cells farthest removed from the
chapel are only few rods distant and
any man who is too lazy and indiffer-
ent to attend the services and hear the
word of God fresh from the lips of His
ministers may be eternally damned,
and orthodox religion compels us to
believe that he will be, but we have no
fear of feeling the stings of remorseful
conscience at the thought of being in
any way responsible for the loss of
such small soul that is hardly worth
saving anyhow.
