Doubles lie Population.

Few persons have any idea of the
extraordinary manner in which the
population of Europe has increased
during the last century. According to
stausticians, this population has more
than doubled itself from 1880 to 1900.
To this increase the Latin nations OF
the west and southwest contributed
the least, and the greatest growth was
in the east where the people have not
yet become thoroughly saturated with
the ideas Of modern civilization.

THE LASH FOR THIEVES.
Punishment Inflicted in England
Seems to BE Effective in
Stopping Theft.

Highway robbery is a crime with
which English police no longer have to
reckon, whereas in st. Louis it is night
ly occurrence. A cat O. nine tails, used
in England and not used in America, ex-
plains the difference, according to c. F.
G. Raikes, an English resident of st.
Louis, says the Post-Dispatch.
Highway robbery is the one crime
for which English law specifies tiogging
as punishment in addition to imprison-
ment," said Mr.. Ralkes to the Post-Dis-
patch. Up to the time | left England
several years ago, remember hearing
of but one or two cases Of highway rob-
berry, and l kept fairly well informed
on such matters. l know that it was one
OF the rarest crimes in the kingdom.
In reading of the nightly robberies
recently in st. Louis have often thought
OF that fact, and the only explanation
can find for the difference between St.
Louis and the English cities is in the
difference of punishment.
I'm fact, l have heard it said that It,
was the flogging which prevented high
way robberies there. The would-be
robbers seemed to be in deathly fear Of
that.
"A cat O. nine tails, which is small
bundle of leather strips attached to a
short handle, is piled on a mans back,
and it tells. The number of lashes to be
given is specified by the court just as is
the number of years the guilty man must
serve in prison.
Il do not know that flogging is still
practiced in England, but it was pun
ishment for highway robbers when left
there, and it was regarded as effective.
1T seems different in the United
States. OF course, there is no flogging
Furthermore, the prison sentences are
shorter and pardons are more frequent.
There are also more delays here in eXecu-
ton Of the criminal law than in England.
There seems to be need of some stern
measures in this country to stop high
way robberies. | don't know that fog
ging is the proper punishment, but
often think of the English practice
when read of the robb ries in ST. Louis.
"Other European countries are equal
ly free from highway robberies, al
though | don't know that they practice
foggfng. They ali, however, regard the
crime as almost as bad as murder, and
the law is very severe.

HAIR BY THE CARLOAD.
New Style of Dressing yyome,,s u,i,
Consumes Hundreds of Tons
for Gratis"

Since the revival of the pompadour
style of dressing womens hair and the
use or the rat" there has been a ire
mendous increase in the importation OF
human hair, says the New York Press.
1t is estimated 100 tons of hair, valued
at $4,000 900, have been received at this
port this year. This doesn't represent
one-half the expense the style has en-
tailed upon women, for it has given a de-
cided impetus to the hairdressing busI-
ness. Three times as many New York
women now patronize hairdressers as
did few years ago. With women of
fashion the hairGresser is looked upon
now as necessity.
In most of the fashionable hairdress-
ing shops of Fifth avenue and its vicinity
paratively few women are EMPLOYED.
Formerly women did all the work. pa
irons being reluctant to have their hair
dressed by men, but the prejudice soon
wore off, and now the well-groomed wo-
men seem to think that only the man
hairdresser who has studied the bust
ness abroad is artistic.
The hairdressers say this promises tc
be a great country for their business.
The women of America have less hair
than the women of Europe. The quality
is about the same, but there seems to be
something in the climate of the United
States or in the habits of the people
that is not conducive to women's hair
growing as luxuriously as it does abroad.
Large as was the value of the hair i'm
ported this year the value of fine toilet
articles was far greater. About IS per
cent. Of the amber and tortoise shep
goods, perfumes, powders and cosmetic
used in America are brought from across
the water.
