Moustaches and Crimes.

Frank Richardson, writing in the
Cornhill Magazine, insists on the dis
honesty of hiding the ~telltale upper
lip. "Of all the great criminals OF
our day." he says, II can recall none
who dared to practice with a naked
face. Drs. Lamson and Neill Cream
judiciously concealed as much of their
physiognomy as might be. Fowler,
who murdered by night at MusWel1
Hill, and Jabez Balfour were beard
ed men. Wainwright wore the nous
tachios' of his period. James Can
ham Reed and Deeming, and Bennett
of the eBootlace' murder were pos.
sessed of mouths that prudence com
pelle ed them to conceal.
1.-THE blue burglarious jowl is fan:
tasy of the novelist. No burglar goes
about with face that in itself
amounts to a previous conviction.
When he is in Jail matters are. differ
ent, for our. prison authorities wisely
decree that the convict's face shall
be shaver and his head be shorn.
They at least insist on seeing the
man as he is"

A MOUN7AIN-AIR CURE.
Health Resort in the AIp Claimed to

Health Resort in the Alps Claimed to
Work Wonders.
The summer season at St. Moritz a
health resort high among the Alps, is
short-a scant two months-when
the temperature is mild. But even
the valley at night. 1.-THE sun is the
life of st. Moritz. The moment it ap.
pears over the mountain tops it - as
sails the frost and the cold of night
like devouring flame. 1t sends the
mercury in the thermometer chasing
up to the tube 20 degrees in an hour.
Where there had been snow at mid
night ladies in lawn dresses and men
in cool flannels are lounging about at
MONDAY. Then late in the afternoon
comes another change. The life-giv-
ing sun drops behind mountain
peak. Instantly chill shivers
through the valley and it is winter
again.
There are springs at St. Moritz and
baths, but they are not patronized
with the regularity Of lowland resorts.
Mountain climbing is more beneficial
to the muscles than massage. Long
drives through the valley, excursions
to glaciers and diligence Journeys
over the passes take the place Of doc
tors. Outdoor life is the cure Of St.
Moritz.-Everybody's Magazine. /

The Stupidest Nation.

The Wanderer leaves Corea with a
feeling of having seen how the stupid
est nation of created men can also
be the happiest; or, could, were con-
ditions only a tritle more prOpitious.
BY the evil star of the Coreans it has
been arranged that their land is to
be the Switzerland of the far east
q territory to be fought over forever,
but one that no nation can either
itself possess or allow any other to
hold. Corea is the victim of her
own geographical advantages. And
the impressionist carries away: with
him the picture of people indomit-
ably patient, dumb with the callous-
ness of despair, that yet has the Sc
cret of happiness in it's power to ex-
tract joy from the most unsatisfac-
tory material; a nation stunned by
the oppression of the ages out of all
moral and mental vigor-yet still
stout, and capable, perhaps, of both
a nation of sturdy, apathetic sheep
whose silent Indifference beneath the
driving lash of the world may some
day be found unexpectedly to have it's
limits or it's possibilities.-The Living

"Did~ not drink have something tic

"Yis, yer honor. They were both

COSTUME FOR FAR NORTH.
Casper Whitney Soon Found What
Was Most Valuable.


Casper Whitney writes in regard to
his hunting expedition in the far
north of Canada: Zone of the first
lessons I learned was to keep my face
free from covering, and also as clean
shaver as was possible under such
circumstances. It makes me smile
now to remember the elaborate hood
arrangement which was knitted for
me in Canada, and which then
seemed to me one of the most impor-
tant articles of my equipment: It
covered the entire head, ears and
neck, with openings only for eyes
and mouth, and in town I had viewed
it as a great find; but 1 threw it away
before I got within 1000 miles of the
barren grounds. The reason is obvi~
GUS: My breath turned the front OF
the hood into a sheet of ice before ]
had run three miles, and as there was
no fire in the barren grounds to
thaw it, of course it was an impossi-
bic thing to wear in that region and
poor thing in any region of low tenn
perature. After other experiments, l
found the simplest and most comfort
able headgear to be my own long hair,
which hung even with my jaw, bound
about just above the ears by hand
kerchief, and the open hood of my
caribou-skin capOte drawn forward
over ALL"

SEEK STRANGE BEAST
REPORTS FROM NEW ZEALAND
STIR SCIENTISTS.
Natives Description Of the "Waito-
reke" Causes Belief That Creature
Supposed to Be Extinct May Be
Found in That Country.

New Zealand is such wonderland
of animals and reptiles and birds to-
day, and has been such a wonderland
of them in the past, that the sclentlhc
world is ready to believe that the wal
toreke really exists there and explor'
ers are hunting for it now.
What is the waitoreke? -"'' :
Is there a waitoreke at all?
biologists all over the world are
willing to pay big price for the an
swer to either or both of these Ques-
tons. If there is such thing, it is
the most wonderful beast yet known
more wonderful even than the duck
bill, the four-footed, egg-laying furred
mammal with ducks beak.
Like the duck-bill, the waitoreke is
that is, if it "is' at ALTA Iative OF
the Australian continent. The stories
about it come from the folk of interior
New Zealand.
The New Zealand natives declare
that it is a mammal that dwells in
the water. Its home is said to be in
the deep mountain lakes and, unlike
such water-loving mammals, as the
otter or the seal, it swims in the
water like a fish and goes ashore
only for short periods.
But, say these natives, it is in no
way like a seal. 1t has no webbed
feet, but claws; and. furthermore, it
crawls ashore and lays eggs like a
turtle or a lizard.
They add a further strange state
ment; it is that this. wonderful beast
has mighty jaws, long and slender,
armed with saw-like teeth.
Only few years ago science would
have dismissed the story as a mad
fable. But to-day so many strange
stories have been proven true that
biologists are not in a hurry to dis
credit this one.
With Sir Harry Johnston discover.
ing the okapi, which turns out to be
a creature that was thought to have
died out before the dawn OF history;
with men searching in Madagascar
for the giant bird aepyornis, also dis.
missed years ago as being an extinct
monster with the growing belief that
a form of prehistoric giant slOth is
alive in South America, men of sci.
ence are almost ready to believe that
the waitoreke may turn out to be a
living survivor of some form of pre-.
historic link-animal-some link be-
tween beasts and reptiles.
The description of the long, slender,
terrible snout with sawlike teeth
makes them think of the long, slen-
der shouts of the ichthyocaurus.
The fact that this waitoreke of the
story lays eggs, adds to the resem'
blance.
