short Sentences a Mistake.

The mistake of sentencing habitual
offenders to short terms in prison is
clear from the criminal statistics of
Great Britain. Of 171,0SS convicted
persons received in prison in 1902 no
fewer than 96,S69 had been convicted
before, many of them twenty times.
It is also stated in the report that the
proportion of habitual criminals is
constantly on the increase. To SEN
tence such persons to short terms is
merely to let them out again to prey
on innocent people. The interest of
the public should be first considered in
dealing with these criminals, and they
should not be permitted to go at any
time without surveillance. The fact
that SO many of them go back to pris-
on for even the twentieth time shows
that such punishment has no restrain
ing influence on them-Philadelph
Press.

IT WAS A GREAT GAME
Winds Up with "Scrap" In Which All
the Spectators Take q Will
ing Hand.

New York, July 10. - A game Of
base ball between a New Rochelle
team and one from Tuckahoe for the
championship of Westchester county,
resulted in a free fight. At least
1000 spectators joined in the melee
which lasted a quarter of an hour and
several were quite badly injured. The
game was played near New Rochelle.
A big crowd of friends accompanied
the Tuckahoe team and betting on the
result was heavy.
When the score stood 3 to 2 in ia
vor of the New Rochelle team in the
eighth inning, batter accidentally hit
the catcher of the visiting team. A
fight quickly began and in an instant
the Tuckahoe crowd swept upon the
grounds. Clubs and bottles were
brought into play and several men had
to be taken home in carria ges. The
umpire, who was the storm-center,
was compelled to call the game off to
save himself.

Make Good Chicken "BoodIers."

There is a jangling note somewhere
in the proposition of the piano manu-
facturers to gather together all the
old-fashioned square instruments they
can find and with them to build bon
fire at Atlantic City. Every econo-
mist will tell you that such proceed
ing involves needless waste. A finan-
cial genius of high order, say Mr..
Carnegie, would surely find some
means Of working off the offending
old-timers upon the inhabitants of For
mosa, Fiji and the Philippines. An
altruist suggests gifts to back country
farmhouses, but it is the return of the
square pianos from the latter that the
piano men have had to put up with
for years and years.-Boston Tran

Ants with long and powerful man.
dibles have been successfully used for
making surgical stitches. The ma
jority, of Greek surgeons keep stocks
of them, and upon the arrival of a
person suffering from clean cut the
ants are brought into use. The edges
of the cut are brought together with
the finger of one hand, while the ant,
held with pair Of forceps. is brought
close to the wound with the other, it's
mandibles biting through the flesh on
both sides and holding the edges to-
gether. AS many as fifteen or twen-
ty are sometimes used for a single cut,
and they are usually left on for three
or four days. Their removal is then
far easier than the withdrawal of the
wire ordinarily used for that purpose.
