A REFUGE FOR RoGUEs.
Perfect Paradise for Men Who Have Committed Crimes of Every
 Description.

There is one corner of Central Amer ica that is at present a perfect para disc for men who have committed any crime. It is a place where the out casts of the worlds society rule the land of their adoption, and where the officials of the government protect all thieves that come to them and make it dangerous for any detective to mo- lest them, says the London Express.
 This is the republic of Honduras, one of the least advanced of the states of South or Central America. Hon. duras indeed is a curious mixture of jungle and gigantic forest, of cocoa and of rubber trees, of bugs, vampires, snakes, and crocodiles-of all manner of things that creep and crawl and sting and bite; region where life in the daytime is a mockery and at night one feels as though sleeping in red pepper.
 Here, in every hamlet and city, are o-be found men from different lands, mostly outlaws from their own coun- try. Chicago, Boston, New York and Philadelphia all furnish their quota. England, France, Italy and even far away Russia have their share. They make no attempt at conce alment, bear the names they were born to bear and go along about their own business as if the laws of their own country had not made them outcasts.

THE IRELAND OF TO-DAY.
More Prosperous Than Formerly, But Its Main Lack Is in the Manu-
 facturing Line.

Rt. Hon. James Bryce, careful ob- server, and Mr:Seumas MacManus, the Irish writer, agree that Ireland to-day is enjoying comparative prosperity. The people are living better, their food is of a higher grade, the bank deposits have decreased, the farm rents are lower, and the returns from work are larger. The main reason why it does not take it's place as one of the rich countries of the world is it's lack of manufacturing. It exists mainly on it's agriculture and its fisheries, says the Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post.
 Ireland contains 32,337 square miles, not including the 196 little islands which add 246 square miles to the total. It is not quite so large as Indiana, and is little larger than South Carolina. The Philippine islands are four times the size of all Ireland. Less than five years ago commission appointed by parliament reported that there had been placed upon Ireland a taxation burden which it was unable to bear, and that something should be done. Thus came the new land act, which was mitigation, but not reform, of the evils.

PUMPING OUT A scOW.
3 Is the Easfest Problem the River Man Has-Just Pull the Plug
 Out and Haul.

Nobody who knows anything about boats worries over a few feet of water in scow if the water isn't too deep" said river man to New York Sun reporter. Getting it out is the easiest job in the world.
 ''Scows, as everybody knows, are flat bottomed, and up forward in the bottom of every one is a plug as big around as a mans two fists. Dozens of empty scows fill up with water and lie at the piers with only the deck afoat every year. 1t doesn't hurt them. The owner just lets them lie so till they're wanted. Then he sends a tugboat alongside and she hitches on. A man goes aboard the scow and pulls out the plug.
 'Does the scow sink? Nary a foot. As the tug starts her up you see she lifts the old scow up some, and the result is that the water in the scow pours out through the plug hole. It's hard pulling at first, but the faster the tug hauls the higher goes the scow bow and the quicker the water goes out, till the scow's dlmoS1 uly. Aioeh spin oA o A1iAc or so the plug can be replaced and the little water that remains in her pumped out by hand.
 Simple? I should think so. Easi- est thing in the world. That's why scows are so useful. You needn't be so extra particular about calking lem so long as your cargo won't be hurt by water; and age and submersion seem to improve them."

write-up. Let me see-what's your rate?"
 Henderson considered. Terry had said nothing about the rate He made a hurried calculation
 "Oh, about $3O," he faltered. ''Thir- ty dollars a page, I guess"
 Mir. Struthers opened his eyes still wider.
 That's cheap enough, isn't it?' suggested Mir. White.
 "Why, yes,' said Struthers. ''Tate was shouting for 5O."
 "Oh, if-'' began Henderson, but Mir. White interrupted him.
 'I presume this is a special thing, coming, as it does, from the editoHial room?" he said. What do you think, Mir. Struthers?"
 ''I should say we might take page, sir," replied Struthers. It was appar- ent that the ''old man" wanted to try it, and policy dictated acquiescence.
 Accordingly Henderson produced a contract blank, and the bargain was concluded.
 The next was the Joseph Becker company, just across the street. In special line of the trade they were the bitterest rivals of Wallace & White, but Henderson did not know about this.
 And there was another thing which he did not realize. By writing old MT. White for page he had broken

ENGLISH ROYAL LIBRARY.
King Edward, It Is Said, Has Little Sympathy for the Modern
 Novel.

It has been asserted with an author ity that I am able to substantiate that there is no portion of the monarchical establishment at Windsor castle which King Edward is more pleased at hav- ing under his control than the library. It is his majesty's purpose to make the library in every respect worthy of king-not, indeed, that the library is not this already, but it will certain 1y be more so before the reign has much progressed. If there was cause for the complaint that there has been a failure to recognize literature, there are excellent grounds for the belief that we have entered on new era in this respect. King Edward, though he has no liking for new novels of the moment, reads a good deal. He is, by the way, an ardent admirer of Thomas Hardy, who entered his sixty-second year the other day; the works of Charles Kingsley have always been favorites with the king, and among French writers he holds Balzac in high regard, says London Sketch.
 The library at Windsor already con- tains about 100000 volumes, to which
 
 Henry VIII. was the first monarch to establish a library at Windsor, and by the time of George IT., who handed the books over to the British museum, there was considerable collection. William ". was an indefatigable book collector, and it was by his orders that the rooms at present occupied as a library were set apart for that pur- pose. The small libraries, as we'll as the valuable prints and drawings in the various royal palaces, were brought together at Windsor castle, and thus formed the nucleus of the collection which grew under the fos- tering care of Prince Albert and the late sovereign. All that is best in modern literature and many priceless books of antiquity are comprised in the collection. Particularly interest ing and of unique value are Charles I.'s copy of Shakespeare and the Bible he carried to the scaffold, a splendid copy of the famous Metz Psalter, an original copy of Spenser's "Fairy Queen" and the manuscript of Mo- zaTt's first oratorio-

| in''-any advertising man could have told him that. The firm of Wallace l E White was termed 'the hardest | proposition'' in the business. They advertised very seldom, and when | they did it meant that there was something especially valuable in the medium.
 So the mere exhibition of the Wall lace & White contract was sufficient to convince young Amos Becker. Hem derson repeated what Col. Terry had told him about the 20 pages, and Becker misunderstood him, just as MT. White had done.
 'I don't see," said Amos to himself, ''why paper like the Open Air Mag azine should print such an article. But Bland is up to. anything, and don't propose to be left out in the advertising space, if old White is go- ing in."
 It would be idle to follow Tender sons triumphal tour thereafter through the swamp. The other deal- CTS fell in like flock of sheep be- hind the Beckers and Wallace & White. When it was lunch time Hem derson returned to the Open Air Mag azine office and sat down at his desk to finish the sonnet. Mir. Bland and Terry were in the colonePs private room, and he was summoned to an interview.
 "Mr. Henderson" said the publish CT, gravely, "Col. Terry tells me that you are interested in this. sort of work"
 Not at all, sir," replied Henderson, promptly.
 'Well, I'm afraid-of course, we shall be sorry to-ahem, colonel, is MT. Henderson engaged at present in anything important?"
 The colonel hesitated, pretending to consider.
 CT have not quite finished what you gave me this morning, Col. Terry,'' said Henderson, gazing meekly at the carpet. ''I have three pages to fill yet"
 "Siri" exclaimed Terry.
 'I could get only IT pages" he said, desperately, producing the contracts. After lunch, hope-p
 Henderson's voice died away. He i was much frightened. The colonel took the blanks and stared at them in astonishment. MT. Bland, who knew a joke when he met one, hastily left the room.
 '.What-what did you say to these people?" inquired the colonel, clear ing his throat.
 ..Only what you informed me re- garding the 20 pages, sir.'
 "Young man, ejaculated Terry, you're wonderl"
 The next week Henderson was sent upstairs to the editorial rooms. "I want a man with business instinct there,'' MT. Bland said; 'I think you'll do"
 It is not recorded what MT. White and others thought when the Octo- ber number of the Open Air Nigga zine appeared, with an article on the leather trade conspicuously absent, and IT pages of leather advertising printed in the supplement. Perhaps they reviewed Henderson's language in their minds, and decided that it was best to laugh and say nothing. But years afterward Henderson wrote a story about 1t. This is the story l N Y Independent.

ConrtpIaster by the nottIe

The best court plaster is bought by the bottle. It is not plaster at all, but a liquid which forms coating over the broken skin, is not removed by water and remains until the injury is healed. It is one of the most convenient of household remedies. In the case of a tiny hangnail or cut on.a joint where it is impossible to use plaster the liquid preparation saves much inconvenience. IN. Y.

Henf md Crime.

Prof. Dexter, of the University of Illinois, who has studied the effect of weather on morals, finds that the de- sire to fight rises with the thermom- eter, but stops at S5; wilts after that as the mercury rises. Assault cases are therefore commoner in summer than in winter. Drunkenness, how ever, lessens with summer and in- creases with the coming of cold. Sui cides are at maximum on bright days with high barometer, and increase as the wind rises.-Scientific American.
