SNOWFALL IN THE MOUNTAINS.


The snowfall during October. No
vember and December was very un-
evenly distributed and generally less
than normal. but as whole greater
than last year. especially at high al
titndes, says the United States wealth
er bureau report. The ground Is deep
ly frozen. and there is an absence of
the huge drifts which commonly con
tribute largely to the flow during mid
summer. On the Arkansas watershed
the average amount or more is stored
in Chaffee county. but on the south
ern drainage areas a marked defcien
cy Is general. For the South Platte
less than the average is noted. and
ed by the Grand. the North Platte and
the Yampa. on the upper watershed
of the Gunnison, in Gunnison county,
a marked deficiency is general. while
a corresponding excess is reported
over the upper drainage areas of its
southern tributaries In the region
drained by the Rio Grande, especially
in the San Juan mountains. the stock
of snow is unusually large for this
time of year. and similar conditions
prevail near the head of the Animas.
The depths given in the weather table
will doubtless be materially modified
for the better by the later snowfalls,
which. as a rule, furnish the water
for the early part of the irrigation
season; the present depths. however,
will be factor in the flow of mid
summer. after the later SHOWS have
disappeared,

Modern love-Makinu.

Courtship is dead. Young men no
longer make passionate yowals, they
never start when shs approaches,
they do not grow pallid with jealousy
If another seems to be in favor, they
certainly do not write sounets to their
mistress eyebrow-in fact, they
scarcely even go so far as to write her
a letter, and If they do go this length
the result Is never worth republishing
in book form. Lovers do not talk
about their hearts, and so on, and
If engagements are terminated the
severed twain have no scruples about
subsequently meeting each other. In
novels something must be done to
make up for re unromantic spirit of
the age, so awful situations have to be
invented for helpless heroines, who
either have to kill themselves or be
killed or die in lunatic asylums or con-
vents.-EXchange

JUVENILE DEPRAvITY IN ITALY
Criminal Parents and Wretched
Homes Chiefly to Blame.

Consul Britain Of Kehl. Germany.
furnishes some startling statistics on
Juvenile crime in Italy, taken from an
article recently published and written
by Limo Ferriani. He says that 80 per
cent of the child criminals of Italy are
manufactured by bad environment
and inadequate education-in other
words, by preventable causes; that 80
per cent of the criminals of the coun-
try are minors, and of these IS per
cent are thieves.
Prof. Ferriani protests against SEN
timental description, but pleads for
scientific investigation. He has close
ly studied 500 boy prisoners between
the ages of II and 1, and reports that
more than half of them came from
the most wretched homes, and over
200 had criminal parents Very few
had ever done any work, all were SEX
ually corrupt, nearly all smoked, and
many had taste for alcohol.
AS a proof of how little good is eff
fected by mere instruction apart from
moral training, he asserts that the
best scholars were among the worst
offenders. AS an alternative to prison
the author proposes agricultural COL
onles in districts where the air is
)racing, with good food and outdoor
work, kindly discipline, and the super
ision of an experienced physician.

HIS WEALTH CAME FROM AUNT.
Honest Taxpayer Thought He Was
on a Graft Trail.

Once upon a time free-born tax
payer who could not be satisfied to
let we'll enough alone by paying his
taxes and letting other folks divvy on
the stealings, went to the alderman
of his ward and said:
"My dear sir, come to ask you
question that has caused me several
sleepless nights, and I hope you will
have no hesitation in answering"
did you ever know an alderman
to hesitate at anything?" was asked
in reply.
'The question, sir, is this: How is
it possible for an alderman in receipt
of a salary of not more than $500 a
year to accumulate at least $4,000
worth of riches in the space of five
years?"
Meaning that 1 have done that
same?"
"Prithee, 1t is So"
"There are various ways, my friend,
such as buying stocks in an airshir
or cornering the catnip market, but
to be plain with you l owe my ad'
vancement to the death of my aunt.
She died and left me all she had, and
here in my desk are the written
proofs"
"Truly, but am disappointed" said
the taxpayer, as he turned away. Il
believed that l was on a hot trail,
and that we would have another case
for Hughes to investigate. beg
your pardon and will now take my
departure.

had asked me how much my aunt left

his hands together and felt the bland
ness Of integrity stealing over him.
