STILL RnIDING HIS oWy.

Awhile ago when Cassie Chadwick and other great female criminals were in the public eye it looked as if proud man were to be beaten in one of his pet specialties. But the record of Jo- ham Hoch, who has just been sen- fenced to death for poisoning one of his wives, is indicative that man can still hold his own in crime. MT Hoch committed bigamy twenty-two times in addition to eight wife-poisoning scrapes. Twelve of the wives died with in three months aftsr their marriage. He is charged with thirty-three eases of embezzlement. He procured money by false pretence thirty-nine times. Twice he committed forgery and twice larceny. He has been guilty of per jury in twenty-seven cases. Hoch had wives in eighteen cities, had operated under thirty false names, and had swindled the women he married out of $14, ,O00 ...
 Although there isn't as much sym {pathy with Hoeh as there has been with some more interesting criminals, the talk is that efforts are to be made to save him from being killed. Perhaps they will fail, and perhaps it is good, sane judgment that they ought to.

A noteworthy addition to the educa- tional institutions of India is the Agri- cultural college of Pusa, the founda- tion stone of which has just been laid by Lord Curzon. In his address he said it was due to the munificence of MT. Henry Phipps, who gave him $150,0O0 .tto do what you like with for some public purpose for the good of the Indian people," There are 1,2S0 acres of land belonging to the college, on which almost any crop could be grown, and there will consequently be provi- sion for instruction in the classroom, research in the laboratory, and experi- ment in the field. It will be the csn- ter of the application of science to Indian agriculture, and, it is hoped, will eventually lead to the establish nlent in each province of properly organized and equipped agricultural de- partment

FUR LINED STRAW HATS

A suggestion was made to us the other day that we try some such ! impossible combination in order to meet the condition of this im- possible season. The theory was that people like to be reminded of their apparel as to what season it is and that nothing except an oe- casional straw hat on a radical students head has suggested that this is Spring. To wear straw and be warm might be popular. .. ti
 The sun came out the day we thought of trying the announce- ment and it may come out again, against which event we can pro- vide you with various shapes and designs and weights. Doubtless some kind of straw hat will be worn more or less this Summer.
