has been remarkable.
The most notable achievement In the
history Of international events was per

It was % years since an American

A THEORY ABOUT MURDER.
Statistics show That Cruelty to AMI.
mails Is a Sure Index TO
BIOodthIrntIneas.

According to an ingenious statisti
clan who has been at work on tn,
subject ever since the assassination
of King Humbert of Italy, the great.
est number of murders is likely to be
committed in that country in which
animals are treated with the most
cruelty. He claims, too, that eompar.
atively few murders are committed in
those countries in which societies fos
the protection of animals flourish.
Out of every million inhabitants, he
says, there are in England and Ire.
land only murderers; in Germany
IL; in Belgium, IA; in France, l6; in
Austria, %; in Hungary, 67; in Spain
50, and in Italy, 95.
These figures, he maintains, are lust
what might be 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
gauged according to the number OF
murders committed in each.
At the same time this statistieian.

THE FRIsKY WOLVERINE.
Has of Late Been TeFrOrisinE the
People of ChebOyEan COun-
~, Michigan.

When he is shut up in nice clear
cage behind iron bars the wolverine
is an interesting animal, but if the
stories which come from about Long
lake are true he does not improve
upon closer acquaintance, says the
Grand Rapids tMich.) Herald. The
people up in that region are having
their troubles with the frisky ami
mails, and would prefer to study their
habits from the safe side of the cage
The wolverines in that section, so the
story runs, have appeared in large
numbers and are playing all sorts OF
tricks with the local inhabitants. Car
eajou, as the Indians and trappers Of
the northern woods call the wolverine
is a sly fellow, and likes to enter
their cabins, destroying or carrying
away their household goods, but now
he has come down to civilization and
is making merry at the expense of the
palefaces.
The wolverines about Long lake are
not only killing the pigs and small
animals, but have so terrorized the
people in that vicinity that they dare
not stir out after dark without being
armed. This may be very interesting
to animal lovers like Mr.. Seton,
' Thompson, but the Long lake people
fail to see where the fun comes in
and are bit doubtful whether the
term Wolverine, as applied to Michi-
gan people, is In the nature Of a com.
pliment.
