Scunt Earnings of Crime.

It IS a favorite lesson FOR youth that
The way OF the transgressor Is hard. %
II is a lesson that invites repetition in
order TO dissuade incredulous or adven-
turous youth from learning its truth IN
the dear school Of experience. But the
clinic in crime that a New York rnaeis-
trate has held before a class Of vo,nr
probationers furnished an object lessor.
that merits wide audience. The prisoner
AT the bar acknowledged having snent
seven years in prison. The total profts
that he could count from stealing
amounted to less than 800 A simpIe az
vision will show how much that was Der
year Of Imprisonment. Yet this criminal
had wife and four children. But tbeir
existence was no plea for mercy for az
hard necessity the mother had long been
the bread-winner. To them the husband
and father had been only a cause of
wretchedness- The additional sentences
pronounced by the court might well re-
caH to the young spectators the other
maxim that honesty is the best policy, >,
Perhaps the lesson may afford the need
ed ounce Of prevention to some % the
behOlders. TIC

BEAUTIFUL THINGS.

Beautiful faces are those that wear

Beautiful eyes are those that show.
Like crystal panes where hearth-fres glow,
Beautiful thoughts that bum below.
Beautiful lips are those whose words
Leap from the heart like songs Of birds.
Yet whose uttennce prudence girds.
Beautiful hands arc those that do
Work that is earnest and brave and tue.

Beautiful feet are these that 60

Beautiful lives are those that bless

Beautiful twilight at set Of Sun.
Beautiful goal With race well won
Beautiful rest. with work well done.
Beautiful graves where grasses creep,
Where brown leaves fall, and Drifts lie deep
Over WORKOUT hands-oh, beautiful sleep!

opined that because the present Wright
acceptance practically new turnout
baked. the entire Wright idea was ballzy.
The magnificent performances Of both
Wilbur and Orvne Wright last fall were
accidents. forsooth, and, egadi Orvine
had lost his nerve.
The present aeroplane did balk It had
a right to. 1t was three feet shorter than
the flyers OF last year. although OF vir-
tually the same weight In other words
with a smaller canvas sustaining area Il
had 20 develop the same lifting power
BY that very token It was designed and
is expected TO be more speedy. which IS a
laudable ambition. The motor. having
been taken apart. had to be made ac-
quainted with itself again. It was, there
fore, entirely within the bounds Of rea-
son that the personal equation Of their
aeroplane was a thing the Wright BROTH
ers themselves had to investigate care
fully.
The tests they proceeded to make. which
failed. more or less, were entirely pre-
liminary-preliminary 20 the fuIhHment
Of a business contract devoid Of senh-
ment and divorced from anything spec
tacular. With respect to the full fruition
or the aeroplane's work. they were identi-
cal with the tests made with the previ-
Gus machine down in North Carolina. at
Kitty Hawk, before the flyer was sub
jected 70 the gaze Of the public.
In the light Of the notwithstanding
events Of the last few days. It is evident
that the preliminary tests are making
definite progress. The Wright brothers
say their engine is still not doing all that
it will do later But Orville has already
broken the record OF one-half the world
for heavier-than-air navigation, leaving
the record for the other half snug in the
hands Of his older brother. But better
than that. OrviTe has improved his own
performances. which is the ideal Of all
ideals
The Wright brothers are not ready yet
TO say when they VIII start the official
tests. But their past achievements should
win for them a generous measure of ap-
probation, which the public can show
best by taking as logical and sensible a
view of them as they have taken OF their
work. And We are frank 10 say we be-
lieve the Wright brothers will go far
Their, not only in the atmosphere which
surrounds the world. but in the achieve

The telegraph companies have agreed to

Where RevOlvers Go.
II is surprising TO learn that the carry
ing Of concealed weapons is not common
in Boston. OF the $500 men and boys ar
rested during the past year in that city
only 154 had revolvers. Yet several great
corporations are engaged in their manu-
faeture IN New England One Of the six
has turned out 10000 revolvers since
1872, the figures increasing every year.
The present demand Is estimated at
l,000O0e a year. A Massachusetts manu-
facturer says that out of every 10000 re-
volvers 1000 go to Great Britain and the
continent. 1000 TO distributors In Chicago
and ST. Louis, 1900 TO Denver and San
Francisco, 10000 70 Mexico and Central
and South America, 5000 to New York,
while 5000 are sold in New England.
