SILLY PRACTICAL JOKES,
Means Should BE Adopted to Punish
the Asinine Perpetrators.

Means Should BE Adopted to Punish
the Asinine Perpetrators.
Among recent arrivals from Europe
Is a man who went thither in response
to cable message which notified him
that his sister was dying. That was
some idiots idea of a funny practical
joke, as the woman was not i'll. The
victim Of such cruel and wicked joke
Is ready to urge legislation which will
impose on the practical joker penalties
but little less severe than those which
are provided for cases Of assault and
injury to the body. He maintains that
no bodily harm which Is not permanent
can be worse than the distress Of mind
which he has been made to suffer.
There are other practical jokes which
result in wounded self-esteem or In a
feeling Of humiliation and which hurt
more than any bodily bruise. 1t was a
French critic Of penetration who said
that mans best satisfaction is in not
being dupe. No one, however, can
always protect himself against the in
genuity Of the practical joker.
There is room for discrimination as
to practical jokes. The injury which
Is inflicted on an unsuspecting person
by loaded cigar or whatever wounds
or distigures or endangers life Is In no
way different (save that it Is more cow
ardly) from any other brutality. 1t
does not belong to the category Of such
practical jokes as those which strike
at a contemplate weakness or at IN
warranted vanity and seIf-control, or
which expose humbug or braggart.

THE GIRLS OF HOLLAND.
Educated with the Boys and Go Into
Business for Themselves

Educated with the Boys and Go Into
Business for Themselves
In Holland, says the London Human
itarian, the mass of every class go to
public schools and all mix together.
Education begins at six years of age
In the public schools, and at ~ a girl

years course in the higher burgher
schools, Of which Holland possesses 70.
The co-education of the sexes Is an ad-
mitted principle. In the primary
schools boys and girls are brought up
together, they learn side by side, and
are on familiar terms from early child
hood without the smallest i'll resulting.
A great point Is made Of languages,
ana no Dutch girl Of the upper or mid
die classes is considered educated who
cannot speak English, French and Ger
man more or less fiuently.
Probably owing to the system of ed
ucation in force, the women folk are
inclined to grow up somewhat indie
pendent. We are told that the preju-
dice against women working for live
llhood has almost disappeared, and
even rich women sometimes choose q
profession. They include doctors, dem
lists, many Of them first-rate, photog-
raphers and gardeners. About 1000
girls hold posts as assistant chemists,
some 5000 are nurses, trained In the
White Cross homes, and on a par with
the very best Of their profession. A
woman Is curator of the National His

holds the same post at Utrecht. while

WHERE QUEEN VICTORIA DIED.
Osborne House, Which Edward Pre-
scented to the British Nation.

Osborne House, Which Edward Pre-
scented to the British Nation.
Famous Osborne House, one Of the
favorite residences of the late Queen
Victoria, which was presented to the
British nation by King Edward VII. on
Coronation day, is one Of the most mag
niffcent of the several homes Of Eng
lish royalty. The gift is peculiarly graf
flying to the British public, as Osborne
Is sacred to the memory of the late
Queen and will ever be inseparably con-
nected with incidents in the life Of that
beloved sovereign.
AS it will be necessary for King Ed
ward to spend a considerable part Of
the year in London and in it's neighbor
hood, at Windsor, and having also
strong home ties in the county Of Nor
folk, he felt that he would be unable, to
make adequate use Of Osborne House
as a royal residence, and he therefore,
offered the property as a gift to the ma
ton. 1t is the Kings desire that the
house be devoted to national purposes
and converted into a conyalescent
home for officers Of the army and navy
whose health has been impaired in the
service of their country.
1t was at Osborne House, Isle of
Wight, that Queen Victoria died, Jan
uary %, 1901. 1t is situated in Whip
bingham Parish, not far from Cowes
The house can only be reached by cross
ing the ferry to East Cowes and ascend
ing steep hill, the view from every
part of which is delightful one-wood-
land, valley, town, river and sea being
visible. Queen Victoria used to spend
most Of the winter months at Osborne,
which was her favorite residence next
to Balmoral, Scotland. She liked Wind
sOr Castle little, and Buckingham Pal
ace, London, least of ALL While the
Queen was at Osborne the grounds
were jealousy guarded, but when she
was absent visitors were allowed to
inspect them. The gardens, with their
terraces, their myrtle and rose trees,
and their many rare exotics, are among
the finest in the south of England. The
climate Of the Isle Of Wight Is consid-
erably warmer than that of the main
land. and every visitor to that Garden
OF England" as it is called, will have
remarked the luxuriant manner in
which flowers grow there.

Grim Jests Of Criminals

The callouSness and even the grim
humor Of condemned criminals ia well
exemplified by the following stories.
says the London Globe. On walking to
the scaffold in solemn procession a
criminal once called to the governor of
the prison: "Just oblige nue., guvnor,"
ne said, "by telling me the day. o. the
WeekT Monday" answered the sur
prlsed governor. "Monday!' exclaimed
the prisoner in disguised tones; "well,
this 'ere's fine way of beginning a
week, amt it?" And he marched on
with disgust imprinted on every line In
his face.
On another occasion an officious
hangman whispered as he placed the
Whlte cap on his victims head: eff

and said In an equally low, but very

coo.
Fair had one fad that developed into
a passion and ultimately led to his
tragic end. He was an automobile
fiend. He owned the first automobile
ON the Pacific Coast and was an en-
thusiastic speed breaker. When he and
his wife left San Francisco last Nav
for Paris it was for the purpose of buy
ing an automobile faster than the one
he owned, although the latter was ca
pable Of making Y miles an hour. In
Paris he bought another machine and
1t was while riding in this that death
came to him and his wife, According
to the story Of the tragedy the automo-
bile was travelling at the rate of e2
miles an hour when one Of the tires
burst. The machine turned a somer-
sault and Mr.. and Mrs. Fair were
buried beneath it, their heads being
crushed in The chauffeur accompanv-
ing them was dangerously injured.
A singular coincidence of the acci-
dent is that several years ago John w.

tons, school houses, banks and Young
Mems Christian Association buildings.
In each of these classes our archltects
are fitting their work with Intelligence
and, for the most part, with taste to
the changing requirements, the speclal
conditions, the scientific advances OF
our rapidly developing culture. No
doubt they make many Mistakes at
which critics will carp. No doubt
some of them lack artistic training,
and on others the Paris Ecole des
Beaux Arts has set the stamp or Its
influence little too strongly. Perhaps
In some quarters there Is too much OF
Louis Quinze escutcheons and car
touches, and in others too much rell-
ance on the five orders Of Vignola. In
church architecture the English perpen-
dicular Is now in fashion, as the Rich
ardsonian Romanesque was fifteen
years ago. These are the defects Of an
age Of transition and development; the
faults of youth and enthusiasm. Be
meath and through them all there Is
discernible, if I am not mistaken, the
evidence of growth and progress and OF
constant striving to shape the tenden-
cies and conditions that control our
building activities into forms Of beau
ty.
Most of the architects I know are
enthusiasts. They are not plying
trade or merely pursuing a business;
however businesslike, they are pre-
dominantly concerned with producing
the most beautiful buildings Of which
they are capable. They are not grum-
bling about the wornout traditions and
monotonous sameness Of their art. AL
most without exception they delight IN
their work; they are proud to show AID
discuss it. These are symptoms Of a
living art. Art is not dying when art
lists are eager and enthusiastic and
earnest partakers in the strenuous ac-
tivities about them.
