CRIME IN ENGLAND.
On the Increase and Penal Servitude
Declared Not to Crush Moral
Responsibility.

Statistics published the other day
point to an increase of crime through
out Great Britain in 1901, as COM
pared with 1900, but this increase is
not of serious magnitude Mr.. Simp-
son, the chief of the criminal depart
ment of the home office, points out
that the reports furnish an excellent
means for testing the common as
sumption that penal servitude
brushes the moral responsibility and
bars the return to honest living of
those who undergo sentence. In 1897
the criminal report tended to show
that this assumption was wrong. and
subsequent reports have shown that
penal servitude may fail to reform
those who have undergone punish
ment after career of crime, but that
in the case of lesser criminals the vast
majority have been found to be lead
ing respectable life after discharge
from prison.

KNEW WHAT HE WANTED.
And the OverzeaIOus Salesman WAS
Given in Concise Way to I'm
derstand as Much.

This is a tale told by the Baltimore
News for the benefit of the overzeaI-
Gus statesmen and saleswomen who
think they know better than their Gus
toners what their customers want to
buy. A man walked into haberdash-
er's shop and bowed politely to the
clerk.
81 should like to look at some black
gloves, stitched with white, saidxhe.
"Black gloves, stitched with white
are not fashiona bic now" replied the
clerk.
ST beg your pardon" said the po-
lite customer. ''You, evidently mis-
understood me. I said I should like to
look at some black gloves stitched with
white"
''They are no longer fashionable, 4" re-
iterated the clerk. with impatient SUI
periority.
81 find 1 must apologize again" said
the other. 81 came in here, thinking it
was haberdashery; 1 find it is bu-
reau of information. I'm sorry to have
troubled you with SO unimportant a
matter, for 1 really didn't care to
know whether the gloves I wanted
were stylish or not. Perhaps can buy
a pair of some sort at the place across
the street" and he went out.

Things That Make England.

The recent elevation of a certain
English nobleman to the peerage was
made the occasion of presentation of
silver plate from his tenantry, with an
address of congratulation. The old
est tenant on the estates got up and
said that he had himself attended 10
rent audits, and that his house had
been lived in by people bearing his
name for 200 years. It is little things
like this that make England so sturdy,
substantial and permanent, in compar-
ison with the nervous. volatile, unsta-

TROUBLE GETTING COAL.
strategy Employed by a Philadelphia
Man to Obtain Neces-
sary Fuel.

This is a true story of how West
Philadelphia man got load of coal,
reports the Philadelphia Record. He
wasn't known personally to the deal
er. and when he learned that several
of the drivers were i'll he dressed up
in his Oldest clothes and went to apply
for job. 81 guess can put you on for
several days, but can't promise you
steady work." said the coal man. This
arrangement was perfectly satisfac-
tory to the applicant, and pretty soon
he was sent out to deliver a load of
COAL. Instead of taking it to it's prop
er destination he drove to his own
home and dumped it into his cellar.
Then he took the wagon back to the
yards, handed over the price of the
coal to the astonished dealer, and made
a clean breast of the whole affair.
"Well, that beats anything / ever
heard Of" said the coal man, and so
great was his admiration for the new
drivers nerve that he let him get away
with the trick.

A NEW NERVE CURE.
Calcium Salts Discovered by DR..
Loeb, as Foe to Disease.
1t Is Said the Eminent Scientist Has
Found Way to Cure st. Wins Dance
and Other Affections of
Nerves and Muscles.

If the conclusions reached by DR..
Jaynes Loeb in scientific publication
from the University of Chicago are
correct, ST. Vitus dance and other nerv-
Gus and muscular diseases are durable.
Advance sheets of the publication give
the statement that calcium salts,
which have figured in so many of
DR.. Loeb's experiments, were en-
ployed to stop muscular twitchings
and with the frog and the jelly fish that
the scientist has used in his expert
ments the trea tment works success
fully.
DR.. Loeb has discovered that rhyth-
mical twitching, peculiar to certain dis
eases, are due to the absence of calci-
um salts in the tissues. When such
salts are absent twitching results and
the Chicago Psychologist has discov-
cred that the introduction of just
enough calcium salts will stop the agi-
tation.
His experiments were carried on in
the University of Chicago laboratories
last summer and members of the fac
ulty who worked with him feel positive
that he has solved the question of the
proper treatment of such diseases.
''It follows from our observations, {"
says Dr. Loeb, in summing up his pa
per, that muscular twitchings may be
brought about in an organism by re-
duction in the muscles or blood of the
proportion of calcium or magnesium
which we get from drinking water or
an increase in the proportion of sodi-
um. In view of the fact that thus far
no explanation has been found for the
pathological phenomena of this kind,
it becomes of Importance to see
whether or not In certain of these dis
eases the relative amount of calcium
in the blood is diminished.
eff this should be the case the admin
istration of calcium would be the cure
for diseases which thus far have been
beyond medical control. 1t is also APP
parent from our experiments that for
the suppression of nervous twitchings
or contractions more calcium may pos
sibly be required than for the suppress
sion of muscular twitchings."

MORE ovERsHoEs WORN.
Rubbers in Wet Weather Has
Increased.

The men who wear overshoes and
the men who wear rubber boots are
increasing in number. 1t may have
been commonly supposed that there
was decrease instead of an in
crease, but the facts show the re-
verse, says the Chicago Tribune.
There are more men and also more
women and children now who never
go out on winter days without put
ting on rubbers or rubber boots
than there ever were in the country
before. The number of cautious
mothers who will not allow their
children on the streets without rub
bers has increased. The number of
men who kick off rubbers when they
go into their offices in the morning
has increased. The number of men
who pull on rubber boots in the
morning and sometimes forget to
pull them off in the evening has in
creased.
The person who says that the rub
Der boot is becoming a thing of the
past speaks without reason.
These facts are shown by the in
crease in the number of factories
turning out such products. In 1880
there were nine factories in the
United States. In 1890 there were
IL. Now there are %. In the past
ten years the business has increased
100 per cent. The value of the prod
ucts of these factories has increased
from $9,OOO,OOO in 1880 to $41 900, OO0.
In furnishing the rubbers and rub
Der boots to the public these fac
tories use $21,OOO,OOO worth of mate
rial, and employ nearly $4,000 wage

GET THINGS FOR NOTHING.
Women Shoppers in New York De-
partment Stores Have Many
Things Provided for Them.

There is no city in the world where
woman, during a days shopping,
can get so many things for nothing
as she can in New York, says the
Times, of that city. Men and women
are employed especially to make her
comfortable. In any one of dozen
large department stores there is a
parlor where she can write all the
letters she wishes to, make appoint
ments with her friends by telephone,
find a maid to wait upon her, COM
partment to put away any purchases
she may make, and have them all tied
up until she is ready to take the
train for home.
She need not leave any one store
sall day, if the weather happens to be
bad. She can get an excellent meal
there at a reasonable price. AS she
wanders around demonstrators are
constantly tempting her to try a
cup of chocolate or some kind of
breakfast food, served with cream on
dainty little dishes. She may col
lect no end of artistically illustrated
booklets and samples of special foods
to take home with her. In at least
two stores she may hear a really
good. concert by well-paid musicians,
either in the morning or afternoon.
If she is accustomed to buying one
particular brand of coffee or tea she
gets premium card with every
pound that in time enables her to
get for nothing handsome piece of
furniture, or a set of books.

there is nearly always a rosebud or

telligent expression of her face is
enhanced by pair of beautiful dark
eyes.
