STIMULATE CRIME

STIMULATE CRIME.
That was q rather sweeping indict-
ment which President Henry Hopkins
Of Williams college made against the
newspapers when he said in recent
address in New York that
zone of the most potent and most
continually operative causes Of crime
is the vast volume Of criminal sugges
ton flowing in upon the public mind
through various means, but especially
through the public press. In the detail
ed accounts Of criminal actions In the
average newspaper there Is minute in
struction in crime as q fine art. The
reader is taught both how to perform
the criminal part and how to evade
his merited punishment"
This is pretty strong language and
has been quite generally commented
upon by the press of the country. The
New York Globe admits that there is
some truth in the Indictment. but de-
mics that It runs against all newspap-
ers. The real offender. says the Globe.
10 the socalled yellow Journal, seek
Ing to produce sensation rather than to
print news. It adds:
Tho fault Of the depraved press lies
not 20 much In the prominence 1t gives
to 'police annals a. to it, treatment 1T
them. The journals that belong to this
class the murder or assault or theft
which is reported in the news Of the
day is regarded merely ~ material
for Z story in which, IL the victim 10
not q person Of Importance, the cri.
minal is made the central figure, the
hero Of what in many cases turned
into q mere romance. Hence every de.
tail, whether real OF imagined. that Will
heighten the effect Is brought into re.
QUESTION, the sole effort being to pro
duce in the reader Z thrill of excite
ment. The palm record Of an ordinary
crime has no value for this purpose.
The Brooklyn Eagle believes that
the good that newspapers do overbal
snces the bad hundredfold, and says:
Undoubtedly the glowing newspap
or reports of crime harm some minds;
but, on. the other hand. fear Of news
paper publicity is almost the only in
huence that restraints thousands, an:
especially the powerful Of the business
and social worlds, from giving way Il
their base or predatory instincts. The
good which even the most sensations
newspapers do overbalances the bad I
hundredfold.'
The st. Paul Globe suggests tina
President Hopkins has mistaken tn
eject for the cause. The fact that &C
counts Of crimes I'LL q great deal Q
space in the newspapers is proof mel
ther Of an actual increase of crime no
Of criminal suggestion arising from
such accounts.
1T must be remembered that with;
the last fifty years the peoples Of tn
earth have been drawn very closely tc
gether. Those dwelling on other con-.
nents have become practically GU
next door neighbors, and we know a
much about their affairs as about thos
Of the people who actually live acros
the street. Has not Professor Hopkin
mistaken an increase in publicity 70
an increase in crime?"

USE OF COFFEE AS FUM1GANT.

Coffee is an excellent funigant, and one whose pungent odor vanfshes more quickly than those in ordinary use," Prof. Marcus I. Epstein states. mo matter what the disag agreeable odor in the apartment may be, the coffee not only drives it out but ab- sorbs 1t, decomposes it, one might say, and replaces it with the healthy Odor of coffee, which cannot be disagree able to even the most sensitive.
 "A proof of the fact that the coffee actually absorbs the other odor is found when the coffee is first burnt, If it simply drove the other odor from the room, the smell of coffee around the stove would be very strong, but it can hardly be noticed for some minutes, and then appears generally in all portions of the place being fumigated. To use coffee as 8 fumigant, quantity must be crushed and placed on the top of very hot stove and allowed tto burn, either di- rectly on the stove lids or in recep- tacle provided for the purpose. It de stroys all Odors effectually and it's own odor will vanish in One-ffth the time 1t takes to get rid of sulphur. Furthermore, one may move about in the room at will without suffering any inconvenience. A test of the utility of burning coffee for this purpose was recently made.
 "A quantity of meat in very bad condition was placed in room and allowed to remain there, with the doors and windows closed, for some hours When the room was opened the odor was such that none could enter without protecting their nos trils, but a quarter of pound of cof- fee poured on the stove caused it to vanish completely within less than five minutes, and three minutes later the coffee odor had disappeared and the atmosphere was fresh and sweet" St Louis Globe Democrat.

SOURCES OF JAPANESE yIGoR.

The Japanese are allowed to be among the very strongest people on earth. They are strong mentally and physically, and yet practically they eat no meat at all The diet which enables them to develop such hardy frames and such well balanced and keen brains consists almost wholly or rice, steamed or boiled, while the bet ter to do add to this Spartan fare fish, eggs vegetables and fruit For bev- erages they use weak tea, without su- gar or milk, and pure water, alcoholic stimulants being but rarely indulged in Water is imbibed in what we should consider prodigious quantities by an Englishman, indeed, the drinking of so much water would be regarded as madness. The average Japanese individual swallows about a gallon daily in divided doses.
 The Japanese recognize the benefic- ial effect of flushing the system through the medium of the kidneys, and they also cleanse the exterior or their bodies to an extent undreamed of in Europe or in America.
 Another-and perhaps this is the usage on which the Japanese lay the greatest stress-is that deep, habitual, forcible inhalation of fresh air is an essential for the acquisition or strength, and this method is sedulous- ly practiced until it becomes part Of their na nassasa.-Medical Record.

MAKING OF FINE LAcES.

'.Fine laces," said w. W. Chace, sconstitute one of the most readily salable classes of merchandise which is imported into this country, and it is source of wonder that American genius has not devised some way in which to meet this demand with a domestic article which will serve the same purpose and can be sold at something like the same price.
 But it has not he continued. We have had many machines invented, but the nearest we can come is to manufacture a type of lace which is naturally cheap, and does not in any sense approach its nd-made, foreign rival. Of course, American women could be taught in time to knit such fine fabrice as their sisters do in Ire land, England, France, Germany and Spain, but we in this country are too busy making money to waste time in that way.
 ''I have travelled all over Europe, and the most interesting method of making lace over there that I came across was at Plauen, Germany. It is woven on kind of bolting cloth made of fine silk, and after the pat tern is completed a certain acid, parts of which are kept secret, is applied and the bolting cloth eaten away, leaving only the lace. They also have n way of altering the strength of the acid in order to give the lace a rich, Dld cOIor.'-Louisville Herald.

ADVENTURES OF A NOTE.

A lady passing down the Rue Rich elieu had the misfortune to lose a pocl1etbook containing among other valuables a 1000 franc note. The pocketbook was picked up by chair mender named Renaud, who lives at Montreaux; and he placed it very carefully. in his pocket and returned home. 1t is not often that chair mender has occasion to change note of that amount, and Renaud, recog- nizing the impossibility of turning it into gold without detection, agreed with a friend to do the business for q consideration of 100 francs.
 This friend, Lucien Mathern, also a chair mender, was in his turn filled with apprehension. The difficulty was solved by the aid of horticu1- turist named Simmonet, who kindly consented to buy himself horse for 300 francs and return the change. Renaud thus became richer by 600 francs. All might then have gone well if, two days later, it had not been discovered that the horse had been stolen from dealer at Meaux. This led to the arrest of the trio,and later in the day the police put their hands on the horse thieyes.-Paris Messen- ger.

TEACHER uNTRUTHFuL.

Little Willie's teacher had been giv- ing the children daily talks on natur- al history each, day taking up some animal and telling all she knew about it. On the day in question she talked about rabbits. Willie had a rabbit of his own and that afternoon when he got home he took it out of it's hutch. Holding it by the ears at arms length in front of him and as stunning the manner of the pedagogue he questioned sternly:
 Seven times seven?"
 No response from the rabbit
 ''Six times siX?" he demanded, shaking the rabbit roughly.
 Still no response.
 Now, I'll give you an easy one. Five times five"
 And still the rabbit stared without response.
 Willie threw him down in disgust. ''I knew that dern teacher was ly- ing" said he. "She said rabbits was the greatest multipliers in the world. ."-Indianapolis News.
