to rather than detracts from the
pleasure of the runs before the wind.
Time and again fatal accidents have
attended ice-boating. but these have
had no more effect in quenching the
eagerness for the boating than have
the killings In football affected the
popularity OF that game
At nearly every point where ice-
yachting is indulged in at all there are

gether and smashed into splinters, or
perhaps they strike a stick protruding
above the surface of the ice and meet
with an equally serious mishap. But

Treatment OF Animals an Index In he
Criminal Instinct.
According to an ingenlus statisti-
clan who has been at work on the sub
ject ever since the assassination Of
King Humbert Of Italy. the greatest
number 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 comitted in those coun-
tries in which societies for the protec-
tion Of animals flourish. Out Of every
million inhabitants. he says, there are
in England and Ireland only six muir
derers; in Germany. IL; in Belgium,

Hungary, 81; in Spain, SO. and in

are just what might be expected. In
no country he says. are animals
treated with more kindness than in
Great Britain and with more cruelty
than in Italy, and the treatment ac-
corded to them In the other countries
may fairly be gauged according to the
number of murders committed in each.

said another man. How long have
you been married?"
Ten years. And she has never dis
appointed me. Why, gentlemen. she
always put everything In the same
place and you know just where TO find
what you want For instance. I went
to my handkerchief drawer this morn
ing before daylight and took out a
handkerchief and put it In my pocket
before starting out, and I know just
as well as l know my own name that
that handkerchief Is just a size. and
has my initials worked on one cor
ner."
And the boastful man put his hand
IN his pocket and pulled out-and un-
folded-a white nightcap. with long
strings dangling from It.
