Criminals In Now South Wales.

New South Wales has a novel system
OF dealing with habltual criminals. A
man is sentenced to term for his par
tlcular offense and to an lndeterminate
term because he Is an "habltual."
When he has served the definite term.
If he Is well behaved, he can rise from
grade to grade. each step being accom-
panied by various concessions. One
feature is that he may earn wages.
which may be sent to his family. spent
on luxuries or credited to him for the

The First Test Of sabx,s Mind.

Just as the germ Of the flower Is
contained In the tluiest seed and Will
reveal itself with an absolute certainty
as will rootlets and leaves when prop
err conditions OF heat, moisture and
light are accorded, so the germ Of the
mind OF a child is present In his little
body and will develop and unfold It.
self with the growth OF the latter.
The only way to stop the growth OF
a chlld's mind is TO stop his body from
growing. Appetite is the mother OF
the mind. and muscle is Its father.
At its lowest estimate the body with
its brain is the tool Of the mind. and
good work cannot be done without
good tools.
The first test Of muscular vigor, the
hand grasp. is an indication OF the
mental possibilities as well. Not one
child out of hundred who at ten days
OF age grasps firmly and clings to q
finger or pencil rubbed against his
pink little palm will ever fall below

As a young man Alexander the
Great escaped death in a curious man
ner. A great banquet was being held
at Pella, the capital OF Macedonia. ut
which were present the future con-
oneror OF the world and his father.
Philip. During the feast one OF the
guests proposed a toast and prayer OF
fenslye to Alexander, who hurled Il
goblet at him. King Philip. angry at
this outrage. started up, drew MS
sword and rushed furiously upon his
son. but he had drunk so deeply that
before he reached him he fell PROSTATE
among the terrified merrymakers. Not
a whit perturbed at this extraordinary
escape from death, Alexander retorted'
"Here is a man preparing to cross from
Europe into Asia who yet cannot step
surely from one couch to another"

At4Ir The Mornino.

The hour OF 4. III. has something
mysterious about T. Cocks crow, peo-
pie on the brink Of death give up the
ghost, every one who is asleep sleeps
sounder, and even the watchful sentry
can't always keep his eyes open. At
this hour people are in their weakest
state, and If life is just on the flicker
It is not surprising that it goes out.
Many mans life has been saved by a
spoonful OF ammonia administered JUST
when the clock strikes 4. The period
OF deepest sleep varies from 3 to 8
o'clock An hour or two after going
to bed you sleep very soundly, then
your slumber grows gradually lighter,
and it Is easy enough 10 waken you at
/ or 2 o'clock. But when 4 o'clock
comes you are In such a state Of SOM
Violence that you would take no notice
of the end OF the world.

VATICAN STIRRED
BY SACRILEGE
THREE AUsTRIANs REMOVE THE
HOLY WATERS FROM THEIR
MOUTHS.
POPE And PRIESTS MORTIFIED
Offenders Hastily Evicted From The
Chapel.--Pope Wept
Bitterly.

ROME. April 20.-The Vatican Off
cials and the entire Catholic popula-
tion of Rome are greatly wrought up
over an act of sacrilege committed by
three Austrian visitors during the eel
ebration of the Easter mass by Pope
Plus in the Sistine chapel yesterday.
While the holy father was admins
tering communion to the 200 members
of the congregation, among them were
the three Austrian visitors, two wom-
en- and man who had been admitted
on the recommendation of the Aus
tro-Hungarian ambassador, the visi-
tors We're seen to remove the sacred
waters from their mouths, one of the
women actually casting it on the floor.
Pope Plus and the attending priests
were Mortified. Ushers were sum-
moned and the Offenders were imme-
diately hurried from the chapel 1t
was later learned that they were Prof.
Feilbsen, of the University of Vienna,
his wife and sister-in-law. In the of
fee of the major domo of the Vatican,
to which they were taken after their
expulsion from the chapel, they ex-
planned that they were not Christians
and had received the sacrament
through mistake.
The pope was so grieved over the
occurrence that he wept bitterly in
the sacristry, but although he is de-
clared to be convinced that the sacri-
lege was premeditated, he gave or
ders that the matter be hushed up i'll
possible in order to avoid a scandal.
The story, however, leaked out
through the gossip of the members
of the congregation, and was subject
of general conversation in all quarters
of the city today. It is generally be-
lived that the Austrian ambassador
will be recalled as a result of the in
cident.

CENTREVILLE, Tenn, April 20
President Roosevelt's former secretary
of the treasury, Leslie M. Shaw, rep
.resenting New York banking interests,
spent two days in Hickman county
last week looking over the property of
the New York and ST. Louis Mining
Co., in the vicinity of Aetna. 1t is
stated that as "a result of his visit
Mr. Shaw will purchase either part
Or all of the interests of the company.
AS a capitalist with money to invest
Mr.. Shaw has been attracted to this
county by the phosphate industry and
he is well pleased with what he saw
He spent a short while in Centre
vile, and while here he stated that
his visit was a matter of business
without any political significance.
While his appearance in Nashville
en- route to New York caused a stir
among the politicians, and gave rise
to much speculation as to his mission
it can be stated as a fact that politics
was no part of his game.

REFORM FIGHT
IN Ne W YORK
GOVERNOR HUGHES WILL RENEW
BATTLE FOR ANTIeAM.
BLING BILLS.
ANTS ARE STRONGLY FORTIFIED
Extra Session Will Be Called In
Case Reform Measures Fail
To Pass.

ALBANY, n. ". April 19.-With
but four days in which to resurrect
measures which the republican steer
ing committees believe they have
choked to death, Gov Hughes will to-
morrow renew his vehement on
slaughs upon the legislative barri-
cades for the purpose of securing the
passage Of the anti-racing bills and
other reform legislation
Even Edwin A. Merritt, Jr., Hughes
floor leader of the assembly, admits
that the antis are strongly fortified,
and that it will be a miracle if they
pass out a single bill whose enact
ment the governor specifically COM
mends.
Extra Session May Fail in its Purpose.
He expresses doubt if even the
proposed extra session will witness
any surrender by the forces which
have combined to strangle practically
every bit of legislation the executive
is urging.
Still another special message de-
handing the passage of the Agnew-
Hart anti-racing gambling bills is due
tomorrow night or Tuesday Promot-
ers of the bills will seek to enforce
their arguments for eleventh hour
affirmative action by written prayers
from Mrs. Russell Sage, Andrew Car
negie, the Rev. Dr. Parkhurst, Bishop
Burgess and others, who have trans
mitted their expressions of disappoint-
ment and Indignation at the defeat of
the measure to the international re-
form bureau.
Mrs. Sage says in her letter:
"The Agnew-Hart anti-racing gam
bling bill was for the saving from
ruin of human souls, and I feel in
tensely the cruelty of its failure TO
pass the senate"
