AUGHTBY THESKINO OFHTS TEETH

A fine detective story comes from Amble, England. A fellow named John Milburn who has prison record, broke into a house at Amble, and before he proceeded to take the goods of value that were lying about he took some thing to eat. A pat of butter was ly- ing on the table in the kitchen, and he took a huge bite out of this, leaving the prints of his teeth plainly marked upon it. He packed up goods to the value of over $2OO, but before he could get away with them he was disturbed, and to escape he was compelled to draw his revolver and he fired three. shots from it at the lady of the house who made a brave attempt to capture him. It was too dark to see the desperate plainly, but suspicion fell upon Mill burn, and he was arrested. For evil dence a plaster cast of his mouth was taken, and the formation of his teeth was found to fit in the marks left in the butter with exactness. On this Mill burn was convicted and was sentenced to three years penal servitude.
 Good work. There ought to be some such detectives as those who dealt with this case at Waterbury.

Eon'Il Get Juss-Gcr.

I've been thinking of the glad hand'
 The happy smiles you meet, When you wear the finest hrDadcloth
 And are Al on the street. But if you're poor and honest.
 give you this advice: Don't ever look for justice,
 For you'll get justice. If from heavy wrongs you suffer
 And to tn: law should go To find the proper remedy
 To ease you of your woe. Unless you have the ducatS
 Lawyers. judges, to entice, You better just throw up the job,
 For you'll get justice. The sunshine of prosperity,
 And all the good it brings, Were only meant for milli0naireS,
 The trust and money kings. For p0verfy'S sad fate 1t is.
 Though free from every vice, To suffer long and patiently,
 And get Justice. You may strive to climb the ladder,
 The topmost round to gain, But let me whisper in your ear.
 This you never can attain Unless you've got friend at court
 Who will pay the toDm0st price, And back it with his influence,
 You'll get justice. I sometimes pray the time may come When virtue, merit, worth, May receive due recognition Ger all this wayward earth. But unless some noble scientist Shall hit the right device, The poor and honest gentleman Will get justice. Philadelphia Recor(

Although congress failed to pass the bill giving preference to G. A. R. veter- ans in the matter of government en- ployment. several laws were enacted at the recent session which will aid veter- ans and their widows in getting pen- sions. The most important of the new laws increases the pensions of those who have lost limbs in the service. It is estimated that this will increase the pension of between 5000 and 5000 vet erans. The Mexican war veterans are henceforth to receive a pension of sig g month. Formerly this sum was given to those who were unable to perform manual labor and in need, while all others had only sS g, month. The same change has been made in the law re- lating to pensioners of the Indian wars. These two changes will cost the gov ernment something like $750,00O more in pensions each year.

SPRING IN NEW H.lVEN.

The beauties and advantages of New Haven as a Summer resort are fairly well known, though not as well known as they ought to be and as they will be when the publicity bureau of the Chamber of Commerce gets into good and continuous working order. But the beauties and advantages of New Haven as a Spring resort have had lit- tie of the attention and the advertising they merit. This is good time to talk about them. What better climate does anybody want than we are having? What more pleasant walks and drives abroad can be taken than can be taken in New Haven now? How clean the city is. How charming the young grass ingly plain it is that the fancy of the young men is lightly turning in the appointed direction. How lively and cheerful the buying for the Easter adorning. And what a general air of hope and promise
 Oh yes. New Haven is all right as a Spring resort now, and now is the time to notice it and say so as there may of course, be change. But until there is the New Haveners whose $29.4S share in the great prosperity wont allow them to go to Florida or Southern California can justly sound the praises of their own Spring.

A French doctor has invented a harmless bullet, which ought to be very useful to French duelists. It is make of chalky compound, and when it strikes person it merely marks the spot without doing the least mischief.

There are and have been ambassadors attached to the craft, but the Japanese representa- tive is the ony one initiated in an Eng fish lodge, and. so far as is known, is the first of his countrymen to be in ducted into the arts and mysteries of Free Masonry. There are two lodges in Yokohama, one in Tokio and one in yeddo, but they are under the Grand lodge of England, and practically all the members are British, the few ex- captions being Americans, who have af- filiated through demits from their home lodges.

A sensible young woman of Rush Springs, Oklahoma, says the Land mark, made the following request of her friend: Do not lay me down by the rippling brookside, lest the bab- bling lovers wake me from my dreams, nor in the beautiful cemeteries in the valleys lest sightseers cooing over epi- taphs distract me; but let me sleep un- der the counter of the merchant and business man who never advertises. There is the peace that passeth all un- derstanding, and deep is the sleep in which neither the buoyant footfall of youth nor the weary shuttle of old age will ever intrude.'

Do children lie? Yes, constantly, consistently and universally, says Kin dergarten Magazine. A child does not tell the truth because he could not. He does not know the truth, and his ap- proximation to the truth is very much vaguer than ours. And there are cer- tain qualities of his mind which make it inevitable that he should pervert the truth. In the first place, truth is synonymous with knowledge He does not know what truth is. Tn the second place (and it is the same with us), chill dren gradually approximate the truth. They have their ideas of truth. In the third place, the child's imagination drives him often to tell what is not true true

FUTTEE FINNISH PROT EST.

The Russianizing of Finland does not go merrily on, but it goes on. The pro- test made. by the native governors of four Finnish provinces against the new military law resulted in their dismissal from their posts. General Bobrikoff sent circular to all the provincial gov- ernors, in which he ascribed the failure of the conscription of 1902 to the mach ination of revolutionary agitators, and urged the governors to take vigorous measures for securing the success of this years conscrfption. The three Russian governors in their reply an- rounccd their intention of doing every thing in their power to carry out these instructions, but four Films, the gover- pers of Abo-Bjornberg, St. Michael, Vasa, and Uleaborg, answered the gov elnor general with long memorandum in which they maintained that the fail- ufe of last years recruits to appear was not the result of any agitation, but of the sense of law and justice of the mass of the people The new military law, they said. violated the fundamental laws of Finland, and could not, therefore, be ooeyed by Finnish citizens. They de- clared further that tranquility couldnot be restored to the country until the military service edict had been submit ted to the Diet. In conclusion they ask ed that their memorandum might be forwarded to the Emperor. This was done. and the authors were promptly dismissed from their posts.
 How much the benevolent Czar really had to do with this does not appear. but there are no signs that he is going to mitigate the Russianizing of Finland.

A good rat story is told in a Belgian paper A gardener had planted 250 tulip bulbs. The following day, when about to complete the number, the man noticed that the bulbs had disappeared mysterfously. He was told that per- haps rats had been at work, and looked for their hole. This he found, and dug down into the earth until 8 subter- ranean chamber was disclosed, where the whole of the 250 bulbs were hidden, packed neatly in rows, one above the other. There was bundle of hay and dead leaves also, showing that the rats had made most elaborate preparations for the winter season.
