n.e,,IIariti.s Of Crime.

One of the strangest peculiarities OF
human nature is its inclination to imi-
tate the misdeeds Of others. Crime Is
epidemical. A particularly dreadful
murder, the details Of which are set
forth In all the newspapers, often has
the effect Of inducing similar crimes.
One of the reasons and probably the
chief reason why public executions
were abolished In England was that In
stead Of acting as deterrent the exc
cution had the contrary effect Of incit-
ing to murder.
Some years ago woman Of Geneva,
named lombard, killed her four chill
dren. She admitted that she had been
reading of q woman who killed her
husband, and the very circumstantial
account had made her wish to initiate
the crime, but as her husband was
dead she killed the children. This Is
only one instance out Of hundreds
which have come to our notice.
The infectious nature of self murder
receives a striking testimony in the
following incident: Dr. Oppenheim of
Hamburg had to examine the body Of
a man who had cut his throat and had
died after some days of suffering. The
medico told his assistant that death
would have been immediate If the man
had made the cut in way which he
illustrated, and he was startled two
days later to learn that his assistant
had attempted to commit suicide by
decorating himself In that very man
ner. The man admitted that he had
never thought Of suicide until the day
Of the examination and the doctors
remark.-London Globe.

When the stern Duke of Wellington
was prime minister under George w.
he managed the old monarch easily
enough, but when he attempted the
same tactics with the young Queen
Victoria he met his match. She con-
stantly outwitted him. One of his
earliest official acts was to bring be-
fore her court martial death SEN
tence which he expected her to sign as
a matter OF course. A soldier was to
be executed for desertion, and as the
death warrant was placed before the
queen by the duke she raised her eyes,
full of tears, to his face, saying:
"Have you nothing to say in behalf
Of this poor man"
Nothing" said the duke, standing
at attention like one of his own pri-
Yates; "he has deserted three times"
"Oh, your grace, think again." plead
ed the queen, as If she were asking
for the life Of her dearest friend.
''Well, your majesty, he certainly is
a bad soldier, but there was somebody
who spoke for his good character. He
may be tolerably good fellow in civil
life."
"Oh, thank you" said the queen in
heartfelt tones, and before the aston
ished duke could utter word of pro-
test she had written across the paper
the word "Pardoned."

Actors Under King. William III.

How summarily actors and mana
gers were dealt with In the days Of
King William Ill is shown by the pc
tition Of Alexander Davenant and 9TH
ers, dated Dec. 10, 1891, which has
been found among the historical docu-
ments of the house of lords. These
''sharers and Adventures in the play
house"-this seems to have reference
to the Dorset Garden theater in White
friars-set forth that Lord Longueville,
having complained Of being assaulted,
together with his servants, by the
guard at this famous playhouse in the
course Of what seems to have been
rather serious fracas, the king had
given orders at the desire of the peers
that no soldiers should be on duty
there for the future and that the play
ers should be suspended from acting
till they had begged pardon for the af-
front"
The house had also, it appears, vim
dicated it's dignity, thus outraged In
the person Of one of its members. by
ordering a sergeant and soldier to
be sent to the gatehouse at Whitehall.
then used as prison The petitioners
having humbly solicited the removal
Of the suspension upon them" and
promised to 'do their best to prevent
the like miscarriage for the future"
1t is officially noted that "the suspen-
sion on the players was removed" an,
that ION Dec 90 the sergeant and sol
der were on petition released. Lon

The Antiquity of the Cat.

1t seems hard to believe that during
all the long ages which passed be-
tween the dawn of civilization and the
Christian era the Romans and Greeks
should have been ignorant of the most
familiar pet Of our homes, the COM
mon cat. Yet no fact seems estab-
lished more clearly than this. Hahn
in his "Wanderings of Plants and AMI
mails" insisted upon it, and 1t has since
been established by the united efforts
of scholars and biologists. We know
now that our domestic favorite, with
its winning, coy ways, uneasy when
removed from mans society and yet
never completely trusting it, with its
mysterious old world air, was unknown
to the chief nations Of antiquity till
after the Christian era.
1t was the patient and gifted nation
Of the Nile valley that built the hall
Of columns at Karnak and that reared
such colossal statues as that of Ram
eses H. at Memphis, not to speak of
the pyramids, that first tanned the cat.

The Great vIdooa.

Vidocq, the great French detective,
was born in Aras in 1775. He began
life as q baker and early became the
terror of his companions by his athletic
frame and violent disposition. At the
same time he was a notorious thief,
and after many disgraceful adventures
he enlisted in the army. In 17e6 he re-
turned to Paris with some money,
which, however, he soon squandered.
Next he was sentenced at Lille to eight
years. hard labor for forgery, but re-
peatedly escaped, and In 1908 he be-
came connected with the Paris police
as a detective. His previous career
enabled him to render important serv-
ices, and he was appointed chief Of the
safety brigade, chiefly composed Of re-
prieved convicts. which purged Paris
of the many dangerous classes. In
1918 he received a full pardon, and his
connection with this service lasted I'M
til about 1928, when he settled at st.
Mande as paper manufacturer. Soon
after the revolution Of 1880 he became
a political detective, but with little
success. In 184S he was again en-
ployed under the republican govern
ment, but he died penniless in 1857.

Whx Women Arc Afraid Of Mice.


In all ages women were supposed to
be more prone to superstition than
men, and who knows but that the
dread of a woman on the appearance
of a rat or mouse may not be due,
in part at least, to an ancient super
stition which has Travelled down the
ages from the time when our remote
forefathers believed that rats and mice
were the souls of the departed? Nj
merous are the stories which made the
ancients believe that souls were rats
and mice. and some of these stories are
very curious.
I'm Thuringia, at Saalfeld," says
Barring Gould. "a servant girl fell
asleep while her companions We're
Smelling nuts. They observed little
red mouse creep from her mouth and
run out Of the window. One Of the fel-
lows present shook the sleeper, but
could not wake her, so he moved her
to another place. Presently the mouse
ran back to the former place and dash
ed about, seeking the girl. Not finding
her, it vanished. At the same moment
the girl died"
