 Animal tanners have certain supersti- tions which in their view are so inn portant that to violate them would be a risk of life. Among other things, they believe that if an animal tanner, while in control of lions and tigers, happens to fall in love, he can no longer manage the beasts who, by some mysterious mental telegraphy discover his weakness and at once assume their advantage. This pe- cullar bell, ,f-long ago proven true-has been utilized by Robert w. Chambers in his new story, "The Maids of Paradise" The hero Scarlett having left the French military police and temporarily joined

Glow of Childhood" which strikes an entirely new note in modern calendar making, Is just published by Harper & Brothers. The production of calendars de luxe Is beginning to be a favorite work of leading artists, but 1t is a far cry from calendars like this one of Mrs. Ste- phens' to those of even year ago. "'rhe Morning Glow of Childhood" consists of pictures of little children as their moth- CT sees them-going to bed or saying their evening prayers at her knee. Mrs. Ste- phens is justly famous for her work in this difficult and delicate field.
 When Mir. Howells was our consul at Venice he suffered, in company with many other diplomatists from the intru- sion of strangers, who interrupted his work on the slightest pretext armed with remote letters of introduction. On one occasion a certain rich, but solitary American, travelling abroad and finding himself in Venice, resolved to call on Mir. Howells, who he knew only as a rising American author, and offer him a gift of some fine old editions de luxe. purchased in his journey abroad. which he though would be a graceful gift from an Ameri- can to his foreign representative when the latter happened to be literary. One morning, in the readingroom of his hotel. the traveller picked up a magazine and read story by MT. Howells, in which the author good -humoredly characterized the constituencies intruder who delays

 Miss Alice Brown who shares with Miss Wilkins the honors of the New Eng land school of fiction, while she did not begin her literary career so early as Miss Wilkins. has written about the same number of novels as the latter. Mar garet Warrener," Kings End" The Mannerings." and her last strong novel, Judgment" which was published last week by the Harpers, constitute her more mature work.

 The Putnams will publish this month, under the title, Rhymes from a Round- up Camp" volume of Western verses by Wallace David Coburn. The author has been himself Montana cowboy and his scenes and characters are taken from real life as he has known it during many years spent on the range, in town, and in camp. with the widest of wild cow punchers.
 Not since the days of Bret Harte and Eugene Field has there been written poetry giving so vivid picture of the old wild and woolly west. Even the oc- casonal roughness of the lines adds to their realism. MT. Coburn's verses has all the fascination which is associated with the name of cowboy, the rude gal lantry. the tender child-like sentiment, the half-eynical, half humorous contempt of death.

FOR PRIVACY.

The board Of education at Geneva,
H., have passed resolutions demanding
the enactment OF Law providing that
all executions IN the state shah take
place in ltrict privacy. A murderer IL
to be killed there, and much excitement
is caused by the prospective event. The
signefs Df the resolution declare that
the proposed hanging OF human being
in this community has excited and
aroused morbid curiosity among the
people, and especially among the child
rem the tendency OF which has been,
IN the judgment Of this board, TO pro-
duce harmful results"
The sentiment expressed in these res
olutlons Is correct 1t Is now gener-
ally admitted that the effect Of eXecu-
tons In public is absolutely degrading.
u Is harmful to the grown up portion
Of the community and still more 80 to
the children. Familiarity with CHASTITY
details goes far to spread the spirit
that It responsible for brutal crimes.
All these facts are well known, and
recognized in the laws ~ at least
some states. II should be recognized
IN all Even the newspaper reports
should be restricted to the mere facts
of an executions The description of de-
tails that can be OF no interest to any
but the morbidly curious has no room
In respectable journalism. The citizens
who labor for the preservation of the
decency Of society, are doing a good
work and deserve encouragement aud
support, A great many acts must be
done, and are properly performed in Sc
cluslon, whereas the public exhibition
of them, or the detailed description Of
them In public, would be improper, and
wrong. Executions belong to this class.
Let the veil Of sorrow and regret be
thrown over them.

Jews for their unleavened bread, when

any other hour. 10 accomplish thls
the baker of the matzos must charter
mill and subject ii to an elaborate
process OF cleaning, or qualifications.
This takes at least one week, during
which time rabbi must stay1at the
min to see that the work Is done well
aud not n speck Of the unhallowed meal
remains. At the end of the wecK he
makes a thorough examination, and
then issues a report declaring the aoT
