sents that number of articles which
can tie offered for any fixed price; thus
the dozen varies. the price is constant.
Plates are among the comparatively
rev articles which in that trade are
sold In dozens of twelve, and some
things are sold in dozens of sixty, sew
enty and eighty.

Juvenile courts and the system of

Juvenile courts and the system OF
probation for young Offenders have
proved so successful In Eastern cities,
especially in Boston. that much good
was expected from the introduction Of
the plan in Chicago. The results are
disappointing. The fundamental idea
Of the system is that for a first offense
a young lawbreaker shall be placed~on
probation, during the term OF which he
is to be under the care of suitable per-
sons. In Chicago at least twenty-five
probation officers are needed. The city
appointed only five. each OF whom has
charge OF about three hundred boys,
and the whole fifteen hundred are
herded together In a reformatory
school which does not reform but or
rupts. 1t is a pity that American cities
are SO slow to learn that anything

Der OF criminals Is q saving In dollars
and cents. to say nothing of the mora.

A pleasant accompaniment OF the
hot weather this summer is the in
creasing tendency on the part Of city
teamsters to provide their horses with
head coverings. The really fashiona-
BILE thing in equine millinery is a
walking-hat of straw, with g high
crown and holes in the brim through
which the horses ears ~protrude. Some
OF the teamsters who have feminine
friends and a sense of humor have
provided their animals with trimmed
hats, generously decorated with chif-
fon. bright-colored ribbons or a gaudy
quill. The hats themselves are a con-
siderable protection agains:. the sun,
and when, as is usual, a wet sponge
is placed in the crown, the horse can
do his work without danger and in
greater comfort. II is a sensible in
novation.
