~CHlLDREN'S CRIMES.
Arson, Theft and Train WreckinE
Common, Forgery Rare.

Arson, Theft and Train Wrecking
Common, Forgery Rare.
Children's crimes are recognized by
~eriminologists as a large and impor-
tant branch of crimlnology. The com
monest of children's crimes are arson,
stealing and train wrecking, and the
rarest is forgery.
Arson, in the country especially, is
frequently a crime of childhood. Coun-
try children set fire to haystacks, barns
and sheds In order to see the great
bright flames leap skyward. Children
commit arson, in a word, out of a love
of fireworks.
Children often wreck trains. Some
times they do this from reading about
romantic train wreckers. More often
they do it out of curiosity. They pile
distractions on the track to see what
will happen. They have no idea that
anything very serious will happen.
Children, of course, steal a good deal.
The best Of men and women, looking
back on their childhood, can recall
many a theft. Stealing Is natural.
Children now and then murder. Their
motive is always jealousy. Thus in
Vienna a boy Of ten, jealous of his
brother and sister, who seemed to be
more petted than himself, killed both
of them and then took his own life

The Way In Turkey.

In the days when NJ. Paul Cambon
represented the interests of the French
republic at Constantinople Nine. Sarah
Bernhardt, who had been touring in
eastern Europe, was DESTROYS of giving
a dramatic representation at Yildiz
kiosk. The sultan was willing, and the
terms were duly arranged with the
keeper of the wardrobe, the worthy
pasha who has the control OF all enter
tainments at Yildiz. But the pasta
held out his hand for more backsheesh
than La Belle Sarah felt inclined to
give, and so the long looked for rep
resentation did not take place. Sarah
Bernhardt lost by 1t $1,000 and the
coveted order of the Chefekat. Her
mann, the c%onjurer. knowing the ropes
better than the French actress, squared
the keeper of the wardrobe, gave his
show and got his thousand pounds

LUNCHEON WAS EXPENSIVE.
Instead OF 10 Francs Ii Really Cost
10000 Francs.

Instead of Is Francs IL Really Cost
10000 Francs.
One day three friends in Paris were
taking a walk together.
Il should like to have an exquisite
lunch" said one of the three.
II should be satisfied with a lunch"
said the second, (which is a little short
of being exquisite"
"ARd l." remarked the third one,
SHOULD be content with any kind Of
lunch"
Unfortunately none of them was pos
sessed of the necessary money. Pres
emily one of the trio was struck by an
idea. He led his friends to a music
publisher and made him an offer:
buy from us a song. This gentle
man wrote the text; that one set 1t to
music, and | shall sing 1t, as | am the
only one of us with a good voice"
well, sing it for a trial." replied the
publisher.
The young man complied, and the
publisher seemed to be satisfied. He
paid 10 francs for the song, and the
friends FASTENED joyfully to a restau-
rant.
The author of the text was Alfred
de Musset, the musician was Monpur
and the singer Dupre. The song, which
was bought and paid for with Is
francs, THE AndaluSian Girl" yield
ed the publisher 10000 francs.-Har-

Few people know that a grizzly bear
a give points to any other carniv-
orous animal in point of strength. A
grizzly bear weighing just four hun
dredweight has been watched carry
ing a heifer of more than two-thirds
it's own weight for two miles up the
most steep and rugged mountain side,
and this without pausing n instant
for rest. The grizzly bear is the lar
gest and most powerful of all the bear
tribe, but his cousin, the cinnamon
bear, runs him very close, and the big
white polar bear, though not really so
dangerous a customer, is capable Of
performing the t. most extraordinary
feats of strength.

tie Spotted Jungle Cat.
One of the most interesting animals
Of the new world and yet one of which
little seems to be written. even by
sportsmen who have spent much time
In Mexico and the Central American
states, is the ocelot. the strange little
spotted cat of the dense jungles Of
tropical parts of the two Americas.
They are not nearly so heavy as the
average lynx of the eastern woods and
are infinitely lighter on their feet.
They run with the greatest agility up
and down the almost perpendicular
trunks Of trees and follow a crippled
bird out on limbs too slender, Ii would
seem, to bear the weight of the par
ocelot's principal food, and their hunt
Ing is done almost altogether by day,
though, like all the cat tribe, they are

quent the thlckest Of forests, coming
to the ground only In the rare open
spaces and along the banks Of the
many small streams where they drink.
In order to follow them 1t is necessary
that the ocelots be great jumpers, and
so they are. When / was following
the hounds through the southern Cali
fornia hills after wildcats and an oc-
casional mountain lion l was wont to
say that the latter was the greatest
jumper IN earth. The ocelot has any
mountain lion that aver walked beaten

Giving ImpreasiveIy.

There are diversities Of giving as
well as of gifts. To give a little with a
grand air sometimes seems to make
more Of an impression than to give
much modestly. The world has not
changed In this respect. Samuel Pepys
wrote in his DIARY in 1860: There
was a great number of merchants and
others of good quality lat q dinnerl on
purpose to make an offering Ito two
newly married s~ervants). which, when
dinner was done, we did, and l did
give 10 shillings and no more, though
l believe most of the rest did give
more. and did believe that | did so

A Paris woman who was arrested
for picking pockets and who pretended
to speak an unknown language be-
trayed herself in her sleep. When
brought before the magistrate she was
Intercepted by Turkish, Russian, Pol
ish and Hungarian interpreters, but
none could understand her, although
one believed she spoke a little known
dialect Of Persia. The magistrate was
not convinced and ordered her to be
kept in the prison infrmary under
strict surveillance. In her sleep the
woman talked fluent French, with the
true Partisan accent.

RIFLE
Develops the Arms. Lungs and Chest
and Trains the Eye.


1t is not only the muscles Of the arm
which are tested by properly organ
lied rife shooting. 1t supplies an Ell
cellent exercise for the chest and
lungs. One of the first things the young
rifle shot has to learn Is how to take a
deep breath, to fill the lungs with air,
end then to hold the breath while the
rife Is kept absolutely steady and the
finger Is gradually tightening or the
trigger. A glance at any successful
rife shot will show you a man with a
deep chest and full powers of breath
Ing.
Any form of recreation which trains
the muscles of the arm and exercises
the chest and lungs would seem likely
to be beneficial to health, but IL that
Is not enough there Is the unequaled
training which rife shooting gives to
the eye and to the hand working with
the eye. The writer remembers hear
ing a musketry instructor boast that
he had heightened not only his own
sight, but the sight Of scores of boys
whom he had taught how to use their
eyes In aiming at a target, by two or
three hundred yards, simply by con
tinued practice at long distance shoot
ing. 1t is astonishing what results can
be obtained in this way by placing a
rife on a sand bag raised on a tripod
and making the pupil aim as accurate
ly as be can at any distant object. The
eye can be trained, of course, equally
well, though the sight will not neces-
sarily be heightened, by aiming at OBJ
jects close at hand.-London Spectator.

There is a curious case in Fortescue's
reports" relating to the privilege Of
peers, in which the bailiff who many
years ago arrested a lord was forced
by the court to kneel down and ask
his pardon, though he alleged that he
had acted by mistake, for that his
lordship had a dirty shirt, a wornout
suit Of clothes and only sixpence in
his pocket, so that he could not be-
lieve that he was a peer and arrested
him through inadvertence.-Green Bag.

Of three years on conviction OF forg-

chief causes of his downfall was drink.
