HE methods now in force for the reforma-
ton of criminals are all wrong.
If you take all the criminals and all
who are dependent on criminals in the
United States, you will find that one per-
son in seventy belongs to the criminal
class. And this class has on the whole
been increasing throughout Christendom.
In the United States, for instance, it has
increased one-third faster, proportionately,
than has the population since the civil war.
The question is, how shall we treat the
criminal class?
Society has often said: Get rid Of
them The simplest way to get rid OF them
is to kill them" And until recent period
that was the method pursued In Great
Britain, under Henry Will, 263 crimes
we're punished with death, and even at the
close of the last century 200 crimes were
SO punished. In the reign of Henry VIII.
100000 were hanged in Great Britain. Oh
course we have got too humane to carry
on that process now in that way. But we

What Wit Is.

DR.. Isaac Barrow, a famous Eng
lish divine and a man of brilliant
wit himself, gave the best definition
of wit yet known, and he confessed
that "often it consisteth, in one
hardly knows what" He said in his
old fashioned style:
Sometimes it lieth in a pat allu-
sion to known story or in season
able application of trivial saying
or in forging an opposite tale.
Sometimes it playeth in words and
phrases, taking advantage from the
ambiguity of their sense or the af-
finity of their sound. Sometimes it
lurketh under an odd similitude.
Sometimes it is lodged in a sly ques-
ton, in a smart answer, in a quirk-
ish reason, in a shrewd imitation, a
tart irony, lusty hyperbole or a
startling metaphor. Sometimes an
affected simplicity and sometimes a
presumptuous bluntness giveth it
being. Sometimes it arises from a
lucky hitting upon what is strange;
sometimes from a crafty wrestling
of obvious matter to the purpose.

A Wonderful Dress.

On the occasion of garden party
at Benares, given by the yiceroy, a
wonderful dress was worn by the
Countess Palovolovetsch, which ex-
cited much admiration. Seen from
near at hand the gown seemed to be
made up of tongues of blue flame,
with occasional strealSs Of bright
light flashing across and all resting
Oh bed OF liquid fire. Then the
appearance would change, and its
wearer seemed to be wrapped in
multicolored flame. It was noticed
that the countess never sat down,
but was constantly on the move.
During her peregrinations friend
asked her about her marvellous cos
tune and discovered that it was a
simple gown Of rich brocade orna-
mented with frefies. There were
535 Of these little creatures, each in
q tiny net, fastened to the dress.

Your Eve In a Mirror.

A very curious fact is the impossi-
bility of moving your eye while ex-
aiming the reflection of that organ
in mirror. It is really the most
movable part of the face, yet if you
hold your head fixed and try to
move your eye while watching it
you cannot do it even the one-thou-
sandth of an inch. Of course if
you look at the reflection of the nose
or at any other part of the face your
eye must move to see it. But the
strange thing is that the moment
you endeavor to perceive the motion
the eye is fixed. This is one of the
reasons why a PERSONS expression
as seen by himself in glass is quite
different from what it is when seen
by others.

THE WANDERING JEW.
Some Of the Legends About This Fig
ure In Sacred History.

There are many legends that tell
the story of the Wandering Jew.
The old Jewish story is that Car
taphilos, the bookkeeper Of the
Judgment hall under the employ Of
Pontlus Plate, struck our Lord as
he was led from the hall, saying:
sGo faster! Get on!" Jesus turn
ed to him and said, II go, but you
tarry until / come again" Cursed
though he was, he afterward became
Christian and was baptized. In
tradition he still lives, falling into a
protracted trance every thirty years.
Another legend tells US that Je-
sus, almost overcome by the weight
OF the cross as he was carrying it to
the place of execution, stopped be-
fore the shop Of a cobbler and rested
his hand against the wall Of the
building. This enraged the cobbler,
whose name was Ahasuerus, to such
an extent that he threw last at
the Man Of Sorrows, crying to him:
"Get off! Away with you'll" Jesus
rebuked him, saying, 81 go and 60
quickly, but command thee to wan
der over the earth until the judg-
ment day." This last legend is the
one given by Paul Won Eitzen, bish-
op Of Sleswick, in the year 1547.
A third legend says that Ahasue-
rms had been detailed to bring Jesus
into the Judgment hall of Plate and
that he was rushing our Lord along
at a swift gait when Jesus COM
planned of WEAKNESS and requested
to sit down on stone by the wav-
side. This request was refused by
the heartless wretch, who exciaim-
ed: Move on, Jesus, move on Thou
shalt not restp' Jesus replied, 81
go my way unto everlasting rest, but
thou shalt 60 away and never rest
until | return to earth again.

A "Reminiscences Of Wagner.

DR.. Mason, the well known must
clan, in his volume of "reminiscences
gives an interesting account of his
visit to Richard Wagner. When he
was leaving, the composer Of Der
Ring des Nibelungen" handed him
a theme written on staff made by
his own hand, bidding the young
pianist, if he ever heard anything
like that, to remember him. It aft
erward turned out that this theme
was the familiar dragon" motive
from the 'Sring'' dramas, but in the
form IN which it,appears only in the
second act of "Siegfried.' At the
time when the composer gave it to
DR.. Mason the drama was yet un-
known to the world.

Shot Himself to Defeat Law

Madison. March 19.-In order
to avoid being compelled to ap-
pear before Court Commissioner
Herman Pfund in answer to a
charge of contempt, Jacob Jordi,
a harness maker of Belleville,
tried to kill himself yesterday.
He shot himself four times, but
only one bullet took effect, thai
being just below the heart. The
physicians do not believe it will
be fatal.
Some time ago an execution
was issuedagainst Jordi for debt.
The paper was not satisfied and
Jordi was ordered to appear be-
fore Commissioners Pfund to ex-
plain how he disposed Of his
property. He failed to respond
to this offer and warrent for
contempt was sworn out and
served.
When Deputy Sheriff George
Milem served this warrant Jordi
asked permission to go into an :
other room to get some money
and while there attempted to
commit suicide. Jordi is so
years old, married and has a
family of six children.

Women

Emile lola S debut as lectur-
er is the sensation Of the hour in
Paris.
He was invited to deliver a SER
les of three lectures before an
exceedingly aristocratic woman S
literary and political club. At
the very beginning he told his
''smart" hearers that they knew
nothing about literature or poll
tics, but were simply possessed
of that surface knowledge which
society women find useful in
daily chit-chat to create an i'm
preston of intellectual culture.
Then he proceeded to demon
strate that real under standing of
literature or politics required
hard work of which such an au-
dience as he saw before him
manifestly was incapable.
"You pretend to be Interested
in these questions NJ Zola
said, "but really you are not.

Fire Risks Increase

Madison, March 19.-Paradoxi-
cal as it may seem, the general
prosperity of the country has
hurt the fire insurance business.
The tremendous stimulus given
to all kinds of industries has re-
suited in the constant operation
of old factories and the erection
of many new ones, thus greatly
increasing fire risks. For sever
al years past the fire insurance
companies have made but lit tie
money and the present tendency
to increase rates, especially on
manufacturing property, is the
result, while rates on dwelling
houses have not yet been materi-
ally increased in Wisconsin, it is
probable they will be before long.
Despite the constant admission
of new companies, there are few
er fire companies operating in
Wisconsin this year than for
three years past. On January /,
1899, there were 156 such COM
panies doing business in the state;
on Jan. 1, 1900, 1863; on Jan. l,
1901, 1865; on Jan. /, 1902, 151.
These figures, said insurance
Commissioner Emil Giljohann to-
day, indicate that fire companies
do not find Wisconsin very pro-
fitable state in which to operate
at present.
The following fraternal insur-
ance associations were licensed
to-day to do business in Wiscon-
sin: The Sons of Herman, Mil
waukee; Royal League Templars
of Temperance, Buffalo.
