there were nearly 1000 less than dnrino

70 whisky. The babies who were mnr.
dered by their mothers were greater
number than that. T work of mob
murderers throughout the country
showed large decrease. The number
of lyuchings was the smallest for tbir-
teen years, except for he year 1890
when the figures show the same as for
the year just ended. Of robberies and
emoezzlements there were decreased
number, and the amounts stolen were on
the aVerge smaller than tie year before.
How is the improvement in the pub
lie morals to be accounted for? Is il a
result of the war excitement? Some
months ago he chiefs of police of New
York and Chicago said thew noted A de-
crease in crime in their respective cities
and attributed the fact to the enlistment
in the army of many men who would
haze been likely 20 give the police
trouble had they remained at home.
There are others who will be able to
see in The decrease OF crime a most graf
flying assurance of the return of pros
periUy to the country. The mills and
the shops and the railways ami the
mines are generally pretty busy now.
Many of hem are working over time. In
the centers of population there are fewer
unemployed. In some of them, indeed,
it is stated to be difficult to secure La
borers. AS a consequence there is less
hunger and privation, and less crime,
than IN years recently past. Savannah

Attractive Women,

Why is one woman attractive and an
other no? The N ,st admirable aud at
tractive thing about An attractive woman
is her womanliness Everybody admres
a womanly woman. She must have
health, of course, because without it sh,.
would lose the brightness of her eyes,
the fullness of her cheeks and her viva, :
ity. Real health must mean that a
woman is really woman, That she is
strong and perfect in a sexual way as
well as in every other. That she is capa-
BILE of performing perfectly the duties of
maternity. Some are born with what is
called constitutional weakness Those
who do not enjoy perfect health need

AgulnaIdo's agents are now In Wash>

they say there is an implied threat
that unless their independence ID recop-

the Philippines by force, if we get pos
session OF them at all. The outlook is
certainly far from being pleasant one.
The philippines have already cost us a
very large sum of money and a good
many lives. If we have to conouer the
Philippine insurgents before we can get
possession Of the islands the cost NAV be
so great that even the most enthusiastic
expansionist will be ready to admit that
it was mistake to insist upon posses

1t may require long and costly war
to compel the insurgents to submit to
our authority. We could quickly re-
duoe them to submission If they would
meet us in open battle. They would
not do that, however. They would take
up their positions in the swamps and
mountain Businesses and depend largely
upon the climate to get the better of us.
Just now it looks as if we had an ele>

Facts About a Phenomenon Which Wac

Facts About Phenomenon Which Wac
Seen Nowhere on Earth
The ordinary almanac gave for De-
cember Ii partial eclipse of the sun,
invisible at Greenwich. And indeed
the expressions as to its invisibilty
might have been put much stronger,
for 1t was to be seen in no inhabited
region of the rth. An Antartic ex-
petition might possibly have sailed
within its sphere of influence, but as
it was it passed unmatched by human
eyes. This being so, and the eclipse
one that was necessarily wholly un
seen, it would seem as if nothing more
could be said about 1t, and as if it
might be passed without comment
But, unseen, as it was, the eclipse was
by no means devoid Of interest. First
of all, it offers us an example of what
seems paradOx-an eclipse of the sun
taking place at local midnight. 1t is,
moreover, the first of the three eclipses
falling within period no longer than
a single calendar month. December 81
brought total eclipse of the moon
and January IL will bring partial
eclipse Of the sun.
