Effect of wenthet ON Crime.

Prof. Willis L. Moore, in a recent lee
ture, cited statistics to show what a
great effect the weather conditions have
on crime. There is larger proportion
of crime in the hot months than in the
very cold ones, although there is much
more inducement for crime in the win
ter. From the records compiled by a
weather bureau official few years ago,
it was found that, while there were
1000 suicides and $500 murders during
the three warmest months of the year,
there were but 1900 suicides and LOO
murders during the three coolest
months.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

EmhaImed with Tar

1t has not been SO very long since it
was a custom in England to hang SNUG
glers on gibbets arranged along the
coast, and to tar their bodies, so that
they might last a long time and be a
warning to ether culprits. So recently
as 1922 three men thus coated could
have been seen hanging before Dover
castle. This embalming process was
sometimes used on other criminals.
Thus John Painter, who fired the dock
yards at Portsmouth in 1776, was hanged
and then coated with tar. From time
TO time the process was repeated and
his body lasted IA years. - Chicago

CRITICISM OF THE RICH.
It would Be Much Better to Correct
Public Evils.

Nothing is so easy as to divert the at
iention of a community like New York
from a real issue to a fictitious one.
Thus, at a, moment when some hard
headed concentration on the gas ques-
ton might have resulted in saving for
the people of New York from $4,000
600 to S1O,OOO,OOO a year on their light
bills, a most excellent clergyman COM
nitted the inadvertenee of expressing
to his congregation his personal disap-
proval OF ostentatious display and law
ish expenditure as about to be exhibited
in certain fancy dress ball. Where
upon the newspapers of the town be-
came wildly hysterical and began to
print unnrImbered columns of rubbish
about this private entertainment. The
irrepressibles of the pulpit seized the
opportunity to launch volumes of ser
mons upon the ethical and economic as
poets of luxurious expenditure, and the
irrepressibles who had no other outlet
wrote letters to the newspapers or Of
fered themselves up to the interviewers.
The entire discussion was without
significance or practical bearing. Civil
| cation is a very complex affair. So long
Us the laws of the land are not violated
the rich mans private expenditures are
as strictly a matter to be controlled by
his own taste and judgment as the eX-

been eminently and conspicuously de-
voted to economic production, and has
not to any appreeiable extent been di-
verted and wasted in wanton luxury

the millionaire monopolist spends his

Fort Reno" Mrs. ID. B. Dyer relates
many facts about this interesting little
animal.
The pony is the Indians inseparable
companion. No mercy is shown the lit
tie beast. If "a savage wants to take
a trip miles away, he takes it. If he
is in hurry, it does not take him long
to 60 and return. Some of the feats
performed by the plains pony seem al
most impossible of belief when the con-
ditions of distance and endurance are
considered. In long race over the
western desert plains, made in 1860, one
of these little animals carried Uncle
Sans mails from Sacramento, Cal, to
ST. Joseph, Mo.,-1,9 $50 miles-in a won
derfully short time.
In those times the only means of
transportation beyond ST. Joseph to the
Rocky mountains and Pacific slope were
the stage coach and the saddle horse.
Gen. Miles is said to owe much of his
success as an Indian campaigner to the
able assistance and loyalty of the cay
use pony.

the most worthless beast In the whole
herd is the one selected for consecra-

The buffalo pony was so trained that

! just how fast to run, and by its own
headwork and knowledge of the work
he practically kept the wild animal at
| his riders disposal.
The war pony is selected from the
best stock for his great strength and en-
drirance. These valuable qualities are
recognized by clipping his ears. Ii

TENPINS AND TENPIN BALLS.
Their Manufacture and Cost-BOwi-

Their Manufacture and Cost-BOwi-
ing More Popular Than Ever.
Tenpins are made of rock maple, and
cost $3.50 a set. They formerly cost
more, but with a greater demand and
increased sales prices have been re-
duced. \ perfectly turned and hand
somely polished rock maple pin is a
symmetrical and slightly object. Stand
ing in the window of a dealer in this
city is a tenpin of bird's-eye maple
which is beautiful and attracts much at
tention. And bird s-eye maple would
be good wood for tenpins, but it costs
twice as much as rock maple, or more,
and the beauty spots would scarcely be
visible from the other end of a 70-foot
alley.
The regulation tenpin is Is inches
high and Is inches in circumference at
the largest part and pa inches in diam
eter at the base. Pins are sometimes
made shorter and sometimes longer and
bigger for family alleys; but Is inches
is the regulation height. Tenpin balls
are sometimes made of rosewood, some
times of maple, but lignum vitae is the
best wood for tenpin balls.
Bowling is more popular in this
country than ever before. Up to about
here were Germans. Now bowling al
legs are provided in many clubs, and
there are more public and more private
alleys that ever, especially at seaside
and country residences, where there are
to be found alleys deliberately fitted uT
with fine woods.-N. Y. Sun.
