crim,..l R<..i.. O, Year In Franc.

The French Ministry Of Justice, in
publishing the annual report on the
criminal results OF the year-a report
which Is always two years behind time
states that In 1891 offences against
the person were less numerous than
had been the case for several years, the
total being i.zl3. as against 1860 In
1856. 1902 in 1895. 1861 in 1894 and
l.5iS IN 1893. Offences against power
~ had. upon the contrary, increased
very considerably from i.224 In 1895
TO 1877 In 1896. and 2.Os7 In 1897. this
latter being a higher figure than had
been reached for twenty years. Out
Of the 3.453 persons tried for criminal
offences only $50 were women. and the
number OF accused persons under 16
were only twenty-thTee ~(seventeen
boys and six girls). while those be-
tween sixteen and twenty-one were
47s males and forty-six females. The
number Of persons prosecuted for
petty offences had decreased from 2O6.-
1924 10 ls6 900 In four years. The mum
Der OF suicides showed an increase,
reaching 1856. including 2.l37 women
and 6l5 persons under age. but there
was a slight decrease In the number OF
deaths by accident. which for some
reason are included In this return.

in her household, with no other aid
than her own splendid courage and
industry. is one of the finest things l
know. And yet she does not realize it.
She is fresh colOred, strong looking,
cheerful creature. and, happily for her
small family of six children, the strain
does not seem to overwhelm her. Like
so many other households which were
broken up by false hopes at the time
of the KIondike discoveries. her hus-
band left her for the new found gold
fields. and since the day they parted

result, It was said, being far superior
TO that obtained in the old fashioned
way. Sugar was added to the berries,
pound for pound or nearly SO, and al
lowed to stand overnight. The next
morning they were heated through,
but not cooked, and then We're poured
into shallow vessels and set out OF
doors where the sun would shine full
upon them for three days AT the end
of that time they were ready to be
sealed and put away for the winter,
and when opened it is said that the
flavor will be that of the fresh berry.
OF course, like other things that de-
pend upon sunshine, there is an ele-
meut of uncertainty in this treatment
of the strawberry. Sudden showers,
or even clouds, interfere with The
work, and in this case the berries have
TO be transferred to the stove and TN
ished according to the old fashioned
method. Moreover, insects, especially
bees, are likely to be attracted by the
sweet stuff, but piece of glass over
the dish prevents their getting at II
and does not interfere with the eff
cacy of the sun. Greedy small boys
are less easy to guard against, but ma
ternal restraint must be depended upon
in their case.

Simply For Art'n Sake.

Put away your yellow and blue and
crimson flowerpots. Hide your color
ed bowls and disown all the queer
shaped vases you've been treasuring
for years.
All these things are quite vulgar,
says little chocolate colored man
from Japan who is in New York giving
its women the benefit of lessons in the
art of flower arrangement. All New
Workers are fiOcking to be taught, and
the florists are in mourning.
The vases used by the Japanese in
structor in his gentle art are all of SUBJ
dued colors. Bronze, gray, dull brown
ish red, as well as the plain, common
stOneware shade, all lend themselves
plants and flowers. The vase must be
subordinate to the flowers and always
remain in the background.
The central idea in each flower ar
rangement must be the appearance of
growing plants. The thought of life
must be suggested by each wavering,
glowing, inspiring blossom. Study the
outline and studiously avoid all stiff
pyramid bouquet effects. Never place
several kinds of flowers together. Only
red and white blooms may be put in
the same vase. With the japanese
the sex in flowers is marked in color,
red meaning male and white female.
Select three or four simple. unobtru-
sive vases and with a handful of bios
SONS try the delicate arrangement pc
culiar to the Japanese. and you will
forever abhor the unspeakable atroci-
ties with which Won have depOra tod
every impossible spot in the house.
This is really the fashion, and, for
once, in good taste as well.
