AlPHONSO BERTILLON.

Those persons innocent as new
| born babes, who nave peen "mugged
and measured by the New YORK po-
| lice and have raised such a row in
| consequence, have to thank for their
| predicament one Alphonso BertiUon,
| a Frenchman who originated the SyS-
| defense of Monsieur Bertillon, how
ever, it may be said that his plan con-
| templated only the Identification of
habitual criminals, and the 'mugging'
of the innocents was no part of his
scheme.
Monsieur Bertillon was born in
Paris Sc years ago, and in 1880.
while chief of the bureau OF identlh-
cation in the prefecture of police, he
established the system for the identi-
fication of criminals which has since
been utilized by the gendarmes of all
nations. All of the large cities of
the United States and Europe have
their rogues' galleries, conducted on
the Bertillon system, and improve
ments are constantly being made.
M. Bertillon was one of the expert
witnesses at the trial of Captain
Dreyfus, and soon after the conclu-
sion of that famous court hearing was
removed from the office he had held
SO long and in which he had attained
so much fame.
The distinguished Frenchman was
the author of many books bearing
upon his system of identifying crimi-
mails, the most famous of which is
identification Anthropometrique," pub
languages.
The Bertillon system was the first
step toward keeping an accurate rec
ord of the peculiarities of those
against whom the heavy hand of the
law has been raised. 1t depends
principally upon accurate measure
ments of various parts of the body
especially the bones, which in adults
never change. The parts measured
are the head, ear, feet, foot, middle
finder, the extended forearm, height
breadth and trunk.
These measurements are placed
upon a card and together with photo
graphs of the bodily features, consti-
tute a damning record that cannot be
effaced. Criminals of the world have
good cause to hate NJ Bertillon, but
the system he introduced, properly
| conducted, is an invaluable protec-
| ton for society.

with it the Functions of companions
for Captain Butt has been close at the
presidents side during all his horse
back rides, all of his golf games and
all of his railway tours since the inau-
guration. Butt is a man of many par,
ties. He is a bachelor of AZ, Geor-
gian by birth, who entered the army
not by way of West Point, but through
volunteer service in the Spanish war.
Before that he had been a Washington
correspondent for syndicate of south
ern papers until he accompanied Gen
eral Matt. Ransom to Mexico when the
latter was appointed ambassador TO
that republic. Since entering the army
he has served three and a half years
in the Philippines-where Mr. TAFT
knew him-and more than year with
our army of Pacification in Cuba.
While he has been in these tropical
chimes he has improved his time by
writing many short stories for maga-'
zines and in between these he has
turned out books Of finance and mill
tary problems. Mr. Taft certainly has
taken a shine to him and he has come
to be known as 1.-The presidents shad-
owl.

ter:
After considerable agitation it has
been decided not to have a real scalp-
ing act by real Indians in the big
hippodrome. This decision was reached
because but one man volunteered to be
scalped. He was a bald headed man
from Woodside, and the committee
dedided that he did not have hair
enough to last out the five perform

ITO safeguard the interests of the
patrons of the carnival and circus, it
has been arranged that anyone pur-
chasing a wormy peanut on the
grounds may, within 60 days after the
date of the carnival and circus re-
turn said peanut to Dana B. Brigham,
Jr., purchasing agent of booth sup
plies, at his Manhattan office, ac-

sworn to before a notary, and the said
wormy peanut will be replaced by a
fresh, virile peanut with three joints.
Peanuts eaten on the grounds will
not be replaced Peanuts returned for
exchange must be accompanied by the
worm.
"Superhuman efforts ara also being
made to have toy balloons filled with

with lighter than air conversation, so
that when little Johnny lets go of the
string his wall will follow the bal

DoN'Ts FOR THE YOUNG GIRL.

Don't grow discontent,d and en-
vious of other girls, of more sub
stance if your own home life seems
restricted and not always pleasant.
Don't tell your girl fr.ends-not
AID Womans exchange
even your very best friend-the APP
parent short comings of your parents
and their little chickering's and quar-
r5ls.
Don't consider one set of manners
good enough for home and reserve an
other for outside people and affairs.
Don't be so engrossed in your own
pleasures and your own schemes that
you neglect to aid your mother in her
endeavors to make the home a real
one
Do not feel that you are justified in
secretly reading books which you
would not care to show to your mother
just because you would hold up your
hands in horror at the thought of
having any clandestine acquaintance.

HAMMOCK BED FOR BABY.

young woman whose bedroom, in
a small uptown apartment, is not
large enough to hold her own bed and
her baby's crib at the same time, has
devised a plan by which much space
is saved and the baby sleeps in COM
fort At first the little one slept in
a trundle bed which was showed I'M
der the big bed in the day time, but
her mother soon found that it was
neither convenient nor hygienic. The
trunde bed was too near the floor, it
seemed to her, and she hit upon the
following novel idea:
She bought few yards of very
heavy canvas and fashioned sort of
hammock in the shape of an oblong
box with upright sides about a foot
high 1t required some cutting and
fitting to make the sides fit evenly
and stand up at the same time. A soft
hair mattress was transferred from
the trundle crib to the hammock, and
four ropes fitted into the four corners,
which were joined at the end and
knotted. Two stout hooks were inserted
in the woodwork of the door jamb and
window and the hammock stretched
across.
There baby sleeps in great comfort.
She can be rocked if she so desires.
cannot roll out, because the sides of
the hammocks are too high, and breathes
in the fresh air from tie open window.
In the day time, after receiving the
proper airing, the hammock and bed
clothes are rolled up and hidden from
view in a shirtwaist box This is as
suredly a new kind of a cradle, but |
candidly think it is much healthier
than the fashioned ones which
shut out air and sunlight

It's just as important a part of a
mothers and fathers duty to make the
supper hour an interesting one as to
make the supper table we'll filled one.
And it's just as much the sons and
daughters duty to help as it inevitably
will be their pleasure.
AS soon as children go out from un-
der the family roof they ought to be
taught to bring their pleasures nome
with them and in the telling, share
them with the rest.
Both happiness and education will
lie the result of such training.
For not only will the supper hour be
made the jolliest of the day, but the
children will learn self expression and
conversational ease as they probably
never would in any other way. =

GREAT ADDITIONS
PLANNED At GARY
Finishing Mills in the Indiana
Steel City Are to Be
Enlarged.
GREAT TINPLATE PLANT
WILL BE OPERATED WITH FIFTY
MILLS, MAKING IT THE LARG-
EST CONCERN OF ITS KIND IN
THE WORLD.
GREAT TINPLATE PLANT

Pittsburg, Pa, July 9.-Two great
additions to the finishing mills to be
located at the new steel town of
Gary, Ind, are being planned by the
steel corporation, according to the
Iron Trade Review. The additions are
for a tinplate plant equipped with
fifty mills or the largest single plant
of the kind in the world by sixty per.
cent, and a plant of fifty mills for the
rolling of steel sheets. which is also
to be the largest of any of it's kind.
The two plants, it is stated, will be
operated by the American Sheet and
Tin Plate company and will represent
the first of the lighter finisher steel
plants that will be added to the Gary
equipment. The immensely of the
project may be realized when compar.
ed with the largest plant now operat.
ing in the country, the Shenango
plant at Newcastle, which has thirty
wonders of tin plate industry. The
largest sheet steel plant thus far is
the VANDERBILT works which has 81
mills and has had a similar position
in the sheet steel trade. Both are
steel corporation plants.
The cost of the two plants will run
into several million dollars and they
will employ jointly between 1000 and
5000 men.

THE PlLLORY.
An English Wri.er's Reflections Upes
Public Punishment,

An English Writer'S Reflections Upea
Public Punishment.
Perhaps one Of the few really demo-
cratic institutions ever created was the
pillory. do not say that 1t was a hui
name institution. though 1t was GER
tainly more humane than our system
Of silent Imprisonment. But being hu-
name has nothing to do with being
democratic. You may have humane
and inhumnne democracies, Just as
you may have humane and inhumane
despots.
The point is that the pillory was a
real appeal to the people. II it was
cruel 1t was because the people were
cruel or perhaps justly indignant. The
people threw dead cats 0he less hu-
manita rian. l believe. threw live CATS.
but they could throw bouquets and
crowns Of laurel II they liked. Some
times they did. The argument about
the old public punishments cuts both
ways. The publicity was an additional
risk for the government as well as an
additional risk for the prisoner. and
this is specially true OF the executions
for treason. 1t was no small thing that
half million men might possibly treat
as a martyr a man whom the king was
treating as murderer. that the prince
had to concede to every obscure ruff
fan exactly what that rufiian probably
wanted most-fame.-G. X. Chesterton
