Marriage and Crime.

It is said that statistics prove that in
every 1000 bachelors there are tlir.y-
eight criminals, while in every LOCO
married men the criminals number OILY
eighteen If this is SO, it surely proves
that the present day members sof the
sex labeled coy, and hard to please have
at least an immense ,capability FOR
keeping men ont of mischief, sufficient

Animals That Delight to Play.

In animals the faculty of amusement
awakes very early. Our four footed
friends seem to be aware of this and
make it a part Of their parental duties
to amuse their young. A ferret will
play with her kittens, a cat with hers,
a dog with her puppies. A mare will
play with her foal. though the writer
has never seen a COW try to amuse her
calf nor any birds their young. If their
mothers do not amuse them, the young
ones invent games ofstheir own.-Lon-

The CameI.s Bite.

The camel alone of all rumfnanfs has
ineisor teeth, in the upper jaw. which,
with the peculiar structure of his other
teeth. make his bite, the animals first
and main defense, most formidable
The skeleton of the camel is full Of
proofs of design. Notice, for example,
the arched backbone, constructed in
such way as to sustain the greatest
weight in proportion to the span of the
supports. A strong camel can bear a
thousand pounds weight, although the
usual load in Yemen is not more than
600 pounds. tHN rF& -

The Coldne.s Of space.

Away out in space is a cold SO intense
that we fairly fail to grasp its mean
ing. Perhaps 800 or 400 degrees below
the freezing point Of water. some phil

beyond our atmosphere. And night and
day. summer and winter, this insati-

fighting with !demoniac power to re-.
duce our globe to its own bitter chill.

CHARTERING SPECIAL TRAINS.
Can lie Done Nowadays Almost as
Easily as Checking Passen-
gers BnggnEe.

Especial trains are becoming so fire.
quent now that they attract little at
tention, except they make record runs
for long distances or unless there is
some trouble collecting payment for
them" said a veteran railroad man,
to a New York Times reporter. Ten
years ago, when l was division super
intendent on one of the big trunk
lines running out of New York, a
special train was an event that never
failed to get mention in the newspa-
pers. Stauonmasters required ample
notice to get one in readiness, and
there was a great deal of fuss making
arrangements along the line. At any
of the big railroad terminals in any
city now a man can get a special en-
gine and car to chase a flier almost
as easy as he can check his trunk.
Only a few minutes notice is re-
Quired. and right Of way is obtained
for 100 or 200 miles along the line
without noticeably disturbing sched-
ule runs. A man who has to keep an
important business engagement, or a
woman hurrying to a sick husband,
pays 500 or double that sum for a
special with as little concern as pay
ing a supper check in a swell hotel.
We live in a rapid and extravagant
age. and grow accustomed to such
things"

LANGUAGE USED BY TABBY.
The speech of CatA ~ Translated By
Frenchman Who Has
Studied IL.

A French professor has become the
Columbus OF Catland. He has learned
the language of cats, says the St. Louis
Post-Dispatch. The vocabulary is SC
small that it is a matter of wonder that
the world waited 50 long for some one to
put it among the things anyone may
know. Here are some of the cat words,
he has learned:
"Aelio" is a request for food.
"Aliloo" is request for water
Lac expresses a desire for milk.
'Bl' is a demand for red meat.
"Bleeme-bl" means kitty wants
cooked meat.
"Ptlee-bl" is mouse meat and is ap.
piled to any food which kitty fondles
before devouring.
"Meouw," uttered simply, is a greet.
ing; uttered fiercely and with accent on
the Me. is an expression Of hatred and
defiance.
"Mieuow, VOW, WOW, yelwoyow, tiow.
ys-ss-syow" is the yell Of defiance in
battle and is variously accented to tell
Of the progress Of fhostlities. "ys-s-s-s-s-
s-yow' being the cry of battle madness.
"Yew" signifies that the cat is in dis
tress and needs human aid. 1t is ut
tered very softly.
"Parriere" is a request to open door.
"Purrieu" is the I-loye-you Of catland,
and when uttered with rolling "r" and
rise on the last syllable is a call from a
mother to its kitten.
