COST OF crime.
Figures That Will Surprise a Great
Many People.
Over 9 Billion Dollars q Year Is
Spent in the United States On
Criminals. ~ 4:,.r..

ia, -
The cost OF crime t4hs governn-
msnt, reaches the enormous sum Of
Isl4e.0oo,o ,oOo.s or this BUM $4,000
600 is expended IN q certain pfecen-
tage or the. maintenance OF the sr-
preme and federal courts, United
States district attorneys, United
States marshals. and the secret SER
vice bureaus; part OF 1t is the cost
OF crime to the treasury department
to prevent smuggling, the cost Of
crime to the army and the navy and
to the postofice and ito allied de-
partments.
The government ilosses by snug
Cling and postal frauds, etc., add
the S60,OOo,000 to make the afore-
said total. In the last statement.
which is only an estimate Of what
the national government pays Tor
crime, II should be remembered that
there are no reliable figures on the
subject.
In estimating the government
losses at $60,O00,U00 year for.
smuggling, fraud, etc., the writer
has endeavored to keep strictly un-
der the mark, 1t is estimated that
the government loses from S75,000,-
900 to $1OO,000,O00 year by snug
Cling alone, while the postoftice
frauds are believed to have cost the
government something like 100000
year.
The detailed cost of crime in the
United States represents some as
founding figures. In 1897 the cost
of crime in Greater New York was
s35,552,133.24. The state, county
and city authorities outside of Great
er New York spent for it S42,605,-
472.75. In forty-fve states (New
York excluded the expenditure was
s697,O8O,000. Criminal losses by
fires totaled $1O0,000,00o.
BY customs frauds the national
government lost $60,000,000. Dur
ing this one year the loss In wages
to 100000 state prisoners was $2S,--
100000, while the loss in wages Of
10000 prisoners 4 in the city and
county jails was $33,000,00O. The
grand total, therefore, of the cost
Of crime in the United States reaches
the stupendous figures of $1,076,-
327, 7,606.99.
The cost of religious work in the
United States Is enormous. The cost
of foreign missions, comprising all
denominations. Is $7,000,000; home
missions expended the same sum.
We spend for education $200,00O,-
600; for church expenses and min
listers salaries, $3.50, 100000. Hos
pitfalls and dispensaries for the sick
moor cost us 81 no. .G80.0o0; for san
| itariums OF all kinds we spend $780,
100000.
City missions and rescue worS OF
all kinds demand and receive $3,-
| 100000; humanitarian work OF eV-
cry. kind, s12,000,00O. Our Young
Mems and Young Women's Chris
tain associations cost S5.O00,00O,
while all other moral and social
work in the United States requires
an expenditure of S5,000,c00.
The total expenditure for humani-
tartan and religious work is, then,
s549,OOO, 900. AS against this. the
total cost aof crime in the United
States for the year reached the in
credible total of $1,O76,606.99. This
is to say, we spend more than SaOo,-
100000 a year more. on crime thap
we do on all spiritual, ecclesiastical,
physical, humanitarian, educational
and healing agencies put together.

Places Where Cooking Ii Done In
Boiling Springs.
There are one or two cOuntries-1ce-
land, for eXample-where washday Is
not dreaded, because nature provides
the hot water at ones very door in the
shape of steaming springs Of spOuting
geysers. But there is only one country
where the native women do practically
all their cooking by unaided nature,
and that Is the North island Of New
Zealand. Here is wonderland Of
thousand square miles so volcanic that
a fire may be lighted by inserting a
few sticks in the EARTH and wherever
one makes a hole he speedily has pool
Of boiling water, into which a pudding
may be lowered incased in cloth and
cooked eXpeditiously.
Frequently in perfectly cold streams
boiling hot current may be seen and
felt running along the edge Of the
river, and here the Maori women do
their own and the white mans wash
ing. Naturally the volcanic region Of
New Zealand is dangerous country to
wander in without a guide, and many
tourists have lost their lives as the re-
suit of such carelessness. Maori serv-
ants boil coffee and eggs in this way

A SISTERS COURAGE.



Century Irish Woman.
In looking over some family papers
and bundles Of old letters I discovered
one by Mrs. Jeffereys of Barney cas-
tie, County Cork, which contains an
account of circumstance interesting
In itself as an instance of heroism On
the part Of the narrator toward her
brother, the Earl Of Clare, and SO valu
able as bringing to light remarkable
event connected with the history of
those troubled times that l feel l am
only discharging duty In submitting
It to the notice Of the editor.
The letter Is dated Wordsworth
street, July, 1907, and, among other
matters, Mrs. Jeffereys writes as fol-
lows:
ION the day Lord Fitzwilliam was
recalled, when my brother (as chancel
lor) was returning from the castle aft
er having assisted at the swearing in
Of the newly arrived lord lieutenant, a
ferocious mob Of no less than 5000
men and several hundred women as
sembled together In College green and
oil along the avenue leading to my
brothers house. The male part of the
insurgents were armed with pistols.
scutlasses, sledges, saws, crowbars and
every other weapon necessary to break
open my brothers house, and the wo-
men were all Of them armed with
their aprons full of paving stones. This
ferOciOus and furious mob began to
throw showers Of stones into my broth
er's coach, ut his coachman's head and
his horses. They wounded my brother
In the temple In College green, and If
he had not sheltered himself by hold
Ing his great square official purse be-
fore him he would have been stoned to
death before he arrived Through the
back Yard at his own house, where
with several smlthy sledges they were
working hard to break into his hall
door, while others of them had ropes
ready to fix up to his lamp iron to hang
him the moment they could find him,
when arrived, disguised in my kitch-
en- maids dress, my blue apron full Of
stones. 1 mingled with this numerous
mob and addressed pale, sickly man,
saying: My dear jey'l. what'll become
Of hus! am after running from the
castle to tell yeas oil that regiment
Of hos is galloping down here to thram-
pie hus, etc. Oh, yea, yea, where will
we goY Then they cried: Hurry, hur-
~, the hos is coming to charge and
thrample hus! Hurry for the custom
house. And In LESS than q moment the
crowd dispersed.
II then procured surgeon for my
brother and guard to prevent another
attack, and thus I saved Lord Clare's
life at the risk Of being torn limb from
limb If had been recognized by any
Of the mob."-London Notes and Que

How Prince Louis Napoleon Was
Killed by the Zulus.

How Prince Louis Napoleon Was
Killed by the Zulus.
How Prince Louis Napoleon was kill
ed by the Zulus June l, 1879, is told
graphically in the book by Sir Evelyn
Wood, who took part in that war. The
little party which the prince accompa-
MED was surprised and attacked. Sir
Evelyn writes: 1.-The Zulus in pursuit
ran first after the two white soldiers
who were on the tanks, three or four
men, headed by Labanga, following
the prince. His horse had jumped just
sas he was mounting, and his sword fell
out Of its scabbard. He was very &C.
rive and was vaulting on his horse in
motion when the wallet on the front
of the saddle broke away, and he fell
70 the ground, being at this time only
sixty yards behind the BritisD fugi-
tires. There were seven men who &C.
snally fought the prince. When Lam
gasebele, pursuing the fugitives, first
saw Labanga. he was running away
from the prince, who was rushing at
him. Labanga, crouching In the grass,
threw an assagai at him. The first as
sagai stuck in the princes thigh, and,
withdrawing it from the wound, he
kept his foes at bay for some minutes.
In the natives words: He fought like
a lion. He fired two shots. but with
out effect, and I threw an assagai at
MIN, which struck him, as said at the
time. but l always allowed Labanga's
claim to have killed him, for his ASA
gal hit the prince in the left shoulder.

Chills and Hot baths.

surface. Heat is not life, but it is
one Of the factors Of life. Indeed. dis
solution always occurs when the In
ternal bodily temperature is greatly
