Denmark is said to be the only eoun- try in the civilized world where houses of correction for children do not ex- ist In some of the provincial towns child criminals are put in peniten- tiary at hard labor. In these towns the judge has not even the privilege of mercy without the consent of the attorney general In Copenhagen, however, the magistrate may dis charge child with a reprimand, should he be so disposed. Criminal records of Denmark show that from 1893 to 1897 there were 1,319 trials against 2,162 children. Out of this number 2,09S were boys and 64 girls. Of these, 1871 boys and 61 girls were discharged with a reprimand, while 220 boys were sent to the penitentiary, and girls and boys were sentenced to prison.-New York Herald

Just the Thing.

The Merchants Association of San Francisco, says the Popular Science Monthly, has been trying the expert- ment of sprinkling street with sea water, and finds that such water binds the dirt together between the paving stones. so that when it is dry no loose dust is formed to be raised by the wind; that sea water does not dry SD quickly as fresh water, so that it has been claimed when salt water has been used that one load of it Is equal to three loads of fresh water. The salt water which is deposited on the street absorbs moisture from the air during the night, whereby the street is thor oughly moist during the early morn Ing and has the appearance of having been freshly sprinkled.

The Instinct of self-Defsnae.

Every boy who owns rabbits knows that if 3 stranger goes into the shed where they are kept they give a re- sounding tbud with their feet upon the floor. This Is warning signal. Wild rabbits strike the ground the same way just before they enter their burrows. An interesting point is that rabbits give this warning stamp with their hind feet, while sheep, deer and antelope use the fore feet. This is be- cause the action of striking was in former times a method of defense or attack, and in rabbits the hind legs are more powerful; in the other ani- mals mentioned the fore legs.

 MT.

A guest at Hawarden once asked him if he could do the same with the translation of his rival. Lord Derby. For reply he took the vol- tune, which he had not loo'-ed at for many years, and handed it to his ques- tioner, and commenced at the line. "0f Peleus' son, Achilles, sing, 0 muse," and stayed not until he had rolled out, with sonorous voice and flashing eye, the whole of the first book, comprising TIT lines, and this. too. without a single mistake.
