What a Nation Eats.
From Harper's Weekly.

From Harpers Weekly.
A committee of the Royal Statistical
Society Of Great Britain has recently been
engaged in investigating the production
and consumption of meat and dairy prod
ucts in that country. and while they find
that there has been increased production
yet 1t has not been on a scale proper
tional with the increase in population
According to its report, submitted at
recent meeting of the society, the average
consumption per head in Great Britain
was Of meat 1918 pounds, of milk Is gal
Ions. of cheese 100 pounds, and of butter
1875 pounds. The amount of meat in
Guided 58.s pounds Of beef and veal, 275
pounds Of mutton and lamb, and 1868
pounds of bacon and pork. In addition
the British people consume extensive
quantities of poultry, game, rabbits, etc,
which are not included in the above sum
mary. The average of fifteen gallons of
milk does not include separated or skim
milk or condensed milk, both of which
are consumed to an appreciable degree
In comparison with the continental coun-
tries, England consumes much more
meat but considerably less than the
United States and Australia.

The war in the far east Is already
bringing a healthy awakening within the
Russian empire The car has already
initiated or assented to four important
reforms, all of them matters which have
been cardinal grievances against the au-
tocracy. The last is the most noteworthy;
the old, bad system Of administrative con-
domination for political crimes is swept
away by stroke of the pen, and the
epoch. which began early last centpry
with the December exiles, and continued
through the days Of Bakunin, Lavroff
Stepniak and Underground Russia, and
which furnished so many heart-rending
stories of Siberian exile. is closed forever.
At last the great principle of open trial,
which is the bulwark of civil liberty In
every country on earth, and the estab-
fishing Of winch in the modern world is
one of the chief glories of England, is
extended to those political malcontents
in Russia who are often merely impul-
sive radicals, too much ahead of the times
and in bad odor with the autocratic au-
thOritieS.

The Workhouse guards and watchmen Will

While on duty about the institution he

The proposed uniforming of the guards Is
but one of the reforms which, regarded as
superintendent.
In conversation with a reporter yesterday
afternoon Mr.. Zinkhan said the first month
of his superintendency OF the Washington
Asylum had largely been one of observa-
ton. He had found, he stated, that many
reforms were necessary to make the insti-
tuition modern, and these would be made
as RAPIDLY as poseible.3 The old rules and
reo,Iations governing the workhouse were
referred TO- and Mr. zankhan was informed
that several years ago the Waterman In
charge of the workhouse was required to
read those rules to the prisoners fresh
from the Police Court before they had
athed and donned their zebra-striped prison
clothes.

neous speech, which went something like
this:

Finger-Print Identifications.
From Harper's Weekly.

The Identification of criminals by
means Of fnger-prints introduced in re-
cent years in European police and penal
establishments is paralleled by similar
custom which has been used in Korea for
centuries to identify female slaves. In q
paper recently read before the Anthropo-
logical Society of London by a mission
airy from Korea 1t was stated that In the
deeds Of sale of slaves the hand Of the
latter was placed on the sheet of paper
on which the deed was inscribed, and an
outline of the fingers and thumb was
traced while, in addition, an impression
was made of each finger. Such impress
sions, which naturally furnished a COM
plete Identification, have been found on
deeds that date back 1.2OO years.
