PRACTICAL JOKE.

IAN amusing incident happened in
my town a short time ago" said w.
A. Gore, of Chicago, at the Hoffman
House. 'There are three brothers
there who are great practical jokers.
One night a fire occurred in a neigh
boris house. which two of the brothers
were watching from a second story
window, as he had forgotten his key.
In the act policeman caught him,
promptly arrested him, and was gayiy
hauling him off, in spite of his indig-
nant protests that he was the owIer
of the house, when, happening to
glance up, he espied his brothers at
the upper windows
There stormed he, 'there are my
brothers up there. They'll tell you that
this is my house. And then he added
some gratuitous bad language about
the Chicago police force In general
and this special policeman in particu-
lar.
I'm consequence 1t was a highly in.

tention of those at the second-story
windows and asked if it was their

are 20 per cent of the total of crimes
committed in the country.
Against society are rs per cent of
all the crimes published in the United
States, while 10 per cent are miscel-
laneous ones which it is impossible
to classify.
The proportion of the natives to the
foreign classes and to the colored
class among the prisoners in the Uni
ted States is interesting. 1t is surpris.
ing to find that less than per cent. of
all prisoners are colored. Foreigners
are much more numerous in the Grim
inal courts, 80 per cent perhaps, while
IS per cent are natives.
1t is recorded that of the total in
sane in the United Staes z per cent
are colored, % per cent are foreign
ers and SIS per cent. natives. This, of
course, does not mean that the num-
Der of insane natives is greater in
proportion to the population. Judged
on this basis the percentage of native
insane is smaller than among the for.
eigners or colored people. In sex
there is almost no difference, the wo-
men outnumbering the men so slight
ly that the difference is scarcely ap-
preciable.
In the pauper wards the relation of
classes is very different. But so per
cent. of the total number of pauners
are natives, while II per cent. are
foreigners and 9 per cent. are colored.
The women are outnumbered by the
men in the asylum throughout the
country by ratio of A to 56.
The insane come in large propor-
lions from country regions, in spite of
the quiet, monotonous life.

the rest of the week eating apples are
a drug on the market, and the only
apples for which there is then a de-
mand are pie apples. Incidentally, too.
1t may be stated that the New Yorker
is the greatest pie eater in the world,
