The criminal statistics for the ycai
1902 are not encouraging. They show
that all forms of human abnormality
are decidedly on the increase in this
country relative to the increase of pop
ulation. The most remarkable fact
connected with the years record Is the
sudden and pronounced change of the
proportion between men and women
suicides. For long time the pro-
portion was about five males to one
female, but last years record sent the
old rule sky high, the figures being,
male suicides, 5,0S2; females, 3,149. 1t
also appears, says the Chicago Exam
liner, that there is a large increase in
Juvenile crimes. AS compared with
the records of former years, the story
of 1902 is alarmingly full of the crime
of boys and girls between the ages of
II and II. A something which the
statisticians are pleased to call dis
eased precociousness" is making Grim
inals among the young people at a
rate that is appalling with the further
result that they are killing themselves,
adult fashion, in quite unprecedented
numbers. The old question of the city
versus the country and the influence of
city life upon morals is nightly in
tensified by last years statistics. DR..
Arthur Macdonald of the Bureau of
Education in his recent report to Con
gress shows that the victims of alco-
hol and suicide are more than twice
as numerous in the cities as they are
in the rural regions. For New York
the figures are for deaths per /, 900, OOO
by alcoholism. State so, New York
City 219; Illinois As, Chicago 81; Penn
sylvania 3S, Philadelphia 90; Massa.
chusetts ~, Boston $50. The figures
for these four States and cities as re.
CARDS suicide show about the same re-
suit. 1t appears that the percentage
of suicides in the cities, as compared
| with the country, is abnormally large
| showing that in the great centers of
human congestion the forces that de-
! moralize are much more active than
they are away from those points. The
causes of this unenviable condition of
things are not far to seek. The haste
of civilization is, perhaps, the main
cause. There Is an abnormal strain on
the nervous system which deranges II
and so throws the whole human ma.
chlnery out of gear. We are Obliged
to think and act so quickly and to
keep up the thinking and acting sc
persistently that the phosphorus OF
the brain is prematurely used up ant
the result is nervous prostration, fail
ure, suicide. Again, the emphasized
gregariousness of modern civilization
bringing people close together in great
numbers, eXcites the passions. en-
hances seliishness, sharpens the spirit
of competition, and to the same extern
deadens the sympathies, and in this
way chcapcns human life and leads Il
crime. But after all the picture, darl
as 1t Is, is not without It's streaks O.
light. Crime may be on the increase
but it Is matter of genuine congrat
ulation that the people in this country
and in all countries are morally sound
in love with life, and doing all tina
they can to make it beautiful for ever,
son and daughter of Adam.

COMMITTEES on the Z. Ct. Vogel matter
relative to the coal question made q
lengthy report showing that coal was
bought originally from the mines and
then through the local dealer handling
the coal IN this city, which was Mrs.
Nagel and by reason of an error the bills
were drawn in the nape of H. Nagel.
The report recommends that the city
continue to buy coal from the same peo-
pie as heretofore and that the bills come
direct from them instead of through Mr..
Nagel and further it states that Mr..
Nagel should be thanked for giving the
city such cheap coal instead of being
condemned for the action as Mr.. NageI

CHAPTER VI.

We left Sir Reginald Glendenning
dashing in n wild and furious way, while
in fit of vexation, down the ramble or
carriage way leading from the Hall. The
horse he sat upon was almost a colt
very wild and fiery, and as he had not
been ridden for several days was partic
ularly spirited on this memorable morn.
ing.
The pathway over which they almost
flew was very beautiful, surrounded on
either side by grand old trees, whose soft
boughs meeting, made a perfect canopy
of green above, through which Hecks
of bright blue sky might be seen, and
through which also, rare slants of sun
shine ginted, falling on drops of dew
that lay upon the nodding grasses, or
upon little clumps of flowers. whose cups
lay open, ever turning skyward for a
fresh supply of light or moisture.
But Sir Reginald saw not, and cared
not for the beauty that lay so ravishingly
around him. He had received an unwel-
come letter, one presenting to him duty,

which he meant not to fulfill and now
he was sullen, morose and angry.
On, on they flew, past fountain, statu-
airy, groves and hedges. until they
bounded by the porter's lodge and dash
ed into the open road away, away.
Suddenly a large dog reused from
drowsy mornig APP by the Needless clatter
of the horses hoofs, spranS from
doorway almost to the TANKS of the
startled animal. barking savagely as he
did so.
The suddenness of his appearing prov
ed too much for the nervous organiza
ton of young Tempest, who, at the sigh
and sound, gave such a sharp, quick.
sideward jump that he dashed his rider
from the saddle, and pitched him over
his head, exactly upon pile of stones
that had been left by the roadside for
removal, where he lay in moaning
heap.
While the horse paused not in his mad
cour-e, human eyes saw the misfortune.
and kind human hands went to the as
sistance of the wounded baronet.
The slightest touch created the deep
est agony, but that he must be carried
home was evident to all. therefore lit.
much tenderness as possible the sufferer
was softly raised, placed upon it, and go
taken to the Hall, to which messeA-
ger had been sem ahead with the news.

Melting Snow.

During the past winter a new device
FOR removing snow from city streets
was put in use. 1t is called snow
nelter, huge machine for thoroughly
,leanirg the streets. Popular Mechan-
les says that the melting is done rap
.dly and economically by means of Il
lot-air blast which is brought into di-
tect contact with the snow.
The melter consists Of Il doubleend
furnace with large CRATE area sur
mounted by a horizontal water-ja cket
md a crescent-shaped cross-section
With two inverted L-shaped tiues. The
dimensions of the meter are the same
is those of an ordinary truck.
The meter is mounted on wheels,
md can be easily moved from place to
place by team of horses. The water
.ackct forms the bottom of an iron
frame or box into which the snow may
20 shOveled direct from the street, or
nto which "A load of snow may be di-
rectly dumped
The furnace burns coke, and is large
enough to hold CARLOAD at time.
rhe snow is placed in direct contact
With the heated flues, and is melted as
fast as gang of laborers can shovel
