Fascination of Burglary.

From Casselis Journal.
My champion burglar" said Mr..
Holmes, the police court missionary, lis
a bookbinder by trade. who has been in
Jail, on and off, for half a century,
Mr.. Holmes ramifications with this
chronic breaker of the law constitute an
instructive scene from his work. He be-
haved to the erring bookbinder quite as
q brother; the man had the entree of the
house and enjoyed the friendship of the
family. How was he in the habit of re-
paying this hospitality? BY going out to
burgle. Twice Mr.. Holmes set him up,
but in vain. The only charm that life
has for this extraordinary being is the
opportunities 1t vouchsafes for committing
burglary.
why on earth don't you leave off
burglary" Mr.. Holmes asked him once.
Mr.. Holmes" was his reply, there's no
fascination in the world , equal 1t. The

the alert-it's grand"

BANDS ON CIGARS.
Some Regular Smokers Regard Them
as Nuisances.

1.-The cigar-band fad is a curious one,
and on some days we have to fairly sweep
the kids who poster us for bands out of
the store" said local dealer the other
day.
THE band on a cigar does not mean
what it did twenty years ago-a band of
merit, indicative of quality and repre-
sentative of peculiar brands put up by
makers of certain stocks of high-grade
cigars. Today you will find bands on
cigars retailing .three for cents.
For window and showcase display,
however. the highly colored bands, most
of which are freely embossed with gold,
show up to advantage and are attractive
to the eye, but since they are put on five
cent grades as we'll as the higher priced,
they make all cigars look pretty much
alike, while all cigars do not taste or
smoke alike.
Nowadays most men who are regular
smokers strike up an acquaintance with
some standard brand of cigars that suits
their individual taste, and will stick to 1t
year in and year out, unless they should
happen upon some new brand of more
agreeable flavor to themselves. Some men
are such confirmed sticklers to their IA
vorite brands that we cannot induce them
to try a new smoke
ITO this latter class of smokers the
band is a nuisance, as they have to go to
Tie ITOuUlt VI TcIuoSlUk Tie DduuS With
each smoke. frequently tearing the wrap
per, or the sharp edges Of the paper will
cut the leaf like knife. tearing 1t badly.
Then these regular smokers, II they have
many lady friends. are made miserable
by the latter 1mportuning them to save
the bands and with the annoyances
comes a demand from this class OF cigar
buyers that the bands be left off the CT
gars entirely.
THE manufacturers. however. are not
likely to yield to these demands in the
near future, as they are of the opinion
that the bands assist the sale of the CT
gars. Then there has been a very heavy
sale Of new and unused bands done up
in little packages. to ladiesI who had the
and-pasting craze, though this sale is
not as great now as formerly.
"As an item Of individual expense the
bands are q dead loss to the manufac-
turers. for, aside from their initial cost.
which is considerable, as millions of
them are made yearly, they acquire addi-
tfonal help in the factories to place them
in position on the cigars. Many Of them
are Of elaborate and tasteful designs. gold
and yellow being the predominating col
ors, and although New York is center
for their manufacture, great quantities
are imported and many Of the finest are
made in Havana. Since the tendency of
the times Is toward show and display in
tobacco goods, 1T is probable that the CT
gar band has some to stay for while.
but when the inevitable change in the
style comes. the regular smoker and the
retail dealer will welcome It,"

China's Transformation.

From the Technical World.
A transformation is in progress in
the worlds most populous empire-a
transformation which all thinkers
agree in describing as momentous.
Powerful viceroys like Chang Chih-
tung and Yuan Chi-kai are sowing
their provinces with schools Of western
learning: and the sixteen other prov
inces are doing the same. The broad
minded Tuan Fang, viceroy of Nam
king, who has travelled much, has actu-
ally ordered the erection Of an i'm
mense girls school in his capital city.
And the old literary examinations have
been abolished; offerings to the dead
prohibited; and cultivated Chinese edu-
Gated in America and England are fast
rising into prominence. The Chinese
penal code. 1000 years old, has been
entirely revised, and horrible tortures
and methods of capital punishment
such as the ''slicing" and strangulation
abolished forever. Nine thousand
miles of railroad are under construc-
ton, including one line from Picking to
Hangkow; and to descend abruptly to
smaller things-but with vast social
consequences-the empress dowager
has declared against the footbinding
of the women. An imperial edict has
gone forth, and societies have been formed
in all parts of the empire against the
ancient practice; and each of the eight
great viceroys has put forth proclama-
tions of his own against it. Truly, China
is awakening from her sleeping sickness
guided and directed by Japan. But surely
the most significant Of all the many signs
is the momentous edict giving warning OF
the total suppression of the opium traffic
and smoking all over the empire, which

land will be confscated. On the other
hand, bonus will be given for early ces-
Sation in culture.

New Manners.
From Country Life.

Recently complaint has been made, not
without good reason. that the Introduction
of tubes and electric omnibuses has had
a deteriorating effect an the manners of
Londoners. The passenger is rapidly
learning to jostle and rush. and the Of
fetal is acquiring a rudeness that seems
foreign to the English capital. Courtesy
hitherto has been distinguishing fea-
ture of all such servants of the public
as omnibus conductors, railway porters,
guards and SO forth.

Infectious Example.

From LIE Figaro, Paris.
There is not an example, good or bad,
that is not followed. The bad are even
oftener followed than the good. Thus a
telegram from Sydney announces that
the members of the Australian federal
parliament, wishing to initiate their col
leagues in the French chamber. have de-
cided to raise their annual salary to s6O0.
After this 1t will evidently be no longer
possible to deny the influence of France
in the world.

VOTES CAST, @44
WOMEN WORKED HARD FOR THE
CANDIDATES.
ELECTION HOTTEST YET HELD
Great Interest Evidenced in Strug-
gle, and Throughout the Day
Electioneering Went On.

With majority Of 124 votes Jas
0. Gull was elected school director
over w. M. Watt of school district
No. z for a term of three years at
the school election Saturday. A total
OF 1044 votes was cast, 5S4 being
for Gull and 400 for Watt. The polls
opened at 2 p. m. and closed at
p. m. This is one of the largest
votes cast at school election in this
district and great deal of interest
was manifested. Carriages were
busy from the time the polls opened
until they closed, carrying voters to
the polls at the Central school build
ing. 1t was surprising the number
Of women that appeared to cast
ballots, and the feminine sex did a
large amount of work for the canii-
dates. They worked with as much
vigor as the men.
This election was the most inter-
esting and hard fought battle in the
history of school elections in this dis
trict. Early in the afternoon it
looked as If Watt would carry the
election with big majority, as 1t
was thought that the majority Of the
women were casting their votes for
him, and in vitw of the fact that a
great many women turned out for
the occasion it looked as though the
election would be in Watts favor.
The majority of the men, it is stated,
cast votes for Gull.
It was a great surprise that Gull
won the election, as no canvassing
was done in his behalf until the day
OF the election, while the friends of
Watt have been working up votes for
the last week or so. A great deal Of
interest was manifested as this was
the last election for a director to a
board of three. While the votes
were being counted by the election
Judges great many interested citi-
zens waited in the room to secure
news as soon as possible.
The polls closed at p. m. and
work was Immediately started count
ing the ballots, and the last ballot
was called at 1915 p. m.
That great interest was manifest
cd throughout the city is shown by
the fact that over 100 people called
up the Herald Office during the even
ing and the early hours Of the morn
ing to ascertain the result.
