NOVEL THEORY OF MURDER.
Treatment of Animals an Index to the
Criminal Instint.

Treatment of Animals an Index to tn.
Criminal Instint.
According to an ingenious statisticiar
who has been at work OH the subject
ever since the assassination of King
Humbert of Italy. the greatest num-
Der of murders is likely to be com
mitted in that country in which ami
mails are treated with the most cruelty
He claims, too, that comparatively few
murders are committed in those coun-
tries in which societies for the protec-
ton of animals flourish.
Out OF every million Inhabitants, he
says, there are In England and Ireland
only six murderers; in Germany,
eleven; in Belgium. fourteen; in
France, sixteen; in Austria, twenty
three; In Hungary, siXty-seven; In
Spain eighty-three. and in Italy ninety
five.
These figures. he maintains, are just
what might he expected. In no coun-
try, he says, are animals treated with
more kindness than in Great Britain
and with more cruelty than in Italy.
and the treatment accorded to them in
the other countries may fairly be
gagged according to the number of
murders committed in each.
At the same time this statistician,
who is German and an influential
member of the British Society for the
Protection Of Animals. admits that eli
mate is considerable factor in this
matter.

Play. .
Religion may not pay in dollars and

Passion Play the gross receipts Of the
state railroads amounted to 81 10000
more last year than during the CORE
spending time In 1900. The net profit
will be S125,OOO.
Lodsing-house keepers In the little
town and vicinity reaped harvest Of
$215, 200. The play itself brought 4
clear profit Of $4,000, and with this
money the town itself will be fur
nished with new system Of drainage
and the famous wood carving institu-
ton at Oberammergau will be put In
to dNt-rate order.
Now II the town does not lose its
head and Its charming individuality by
this tidal wave of prosperity it can
push on to things better still. 1t has
taken the first step in the right direc-

Of U. s. Treasury Department, graduate of

years at West Point, has the following to
say Of Peruna:
"Allow me to express my gratitude
to you for the benefit derived from
your wonderful remedy. One short
month has brought forth vast change
and now consider myself n well man
after months Of suffering. Fellow
sufferers, Peruna will cure you"
Catarrh is systemic disease durable
only by systematic treatment. A remedy
that cures catarrh must aim directly at
the depressed nerve centers. This is what
Peruna does Peruna Immediately invigor-
ates the nerve-centers which give vitality to
the mucous membranes. Then catarrh dis
appears. Then catarrh is permanently cured.
Peruna cures catarrh wherever located.

GREAT RAILWAY
CONSOLIDATION

st. Paul, Mimi. Jan. 5.-While no
confirmation could be obtained here
from an authoritative source of the re-
ported combination of the Northern
Pacific, Great Northern and Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul railroads, 1t is
the general belief in well informed rail-
way circles that the deal. IL not al
ready accomplished in fact, is in pro-
cess of confirmation.
President James j. Hill of the Great
Northern was naturally disinclined to
talk upon the subject for publication,
but in the course of an interview he
had this to say:
81 have made no loan in Montreal.
Does it not stand to reason that II l
needed money, l can get it without 60
ing to Canada? No deal by which we
get control of any western line has
been consummated yet l will say,
however. that some of the big lines
hope, by getting together, to reduce
working expenses"
Mr.. Hill does not state that there is
no deal under way. The announce
ment was made semi-otiicially to-day,
and the information did not come from
n New York source. that the big deal
by which the ill-Morgan Rock efeller
interests We're to secure control OF the
Northern Pacific and st. Paul roads is
practically conSummated. and that in

remarkable signs of dawning intelli-

OF interest to all students OF Greek
is the announcement from Athens thai
the Clouds" of Aristophanes, para
phrased into modern Greek by the sa-
trio poet Souris, has been produced In
the national theater in that city.
Souris, who has been called for 30
years the "Modren Aristophanes." is
said to have surpassed all expectations
in his metrical rendering of the play.
His work should be especially valuable
to philologists as a basis of COMPARE

Greek, the language as 1t is written
today being said to be closer to that Of
Xenophon and Plato than is the Eng

Chicago physicians have recently had
the opportunity of examining several
persons who were treated for consump-
ton by the nitrogen compression
method first promulgated by DR.. j. b.
Murphy at the congress of physicians
in Denver several years ago. The
method consists in injecting nitrogen
gas into the pleural cavity, the theory
being that the pressure of the gas com
presses the lung. enabling 1t to take a
rest and permitting the unhindered
cure of any disease affecting it. DR..
Augustus Lemke, who presented the
cases shown in Chicago, made no
claim that he had effected a cure, but
he said: The symptoms of tubercu-
losis. which were pronounced In these
cases when they applied for treatment,
have all disappeared. The fever and
coughing have ceased, and the patients
have slept and eaten well. They have
all gained in weight and show no evil
