Children and Criminals.
stT VISITED the famous Dr. Lomhr

SSI VISITED the famous Dr. Lomhroso
! in Italy, said a magazine editor Of
New York, in order to secure from him
a series of articles about criminals Dt
Lombroso showed me through the Turn
Jail
The criminals in this Jail he compared
to children. They were not insane but
they had a childish way of gratifying
their own desires without regard q
others sufferings
''He illustrated this childish seIfishness
with case in point. He said he had al
one time guest with deformed foot.
His little son was about seven. and he
debated whether or not lie should caution
the lad against mentioning his deformity
TO the guest deciding finally that the
child was old enough TO know better than
advert to q, subject SO delicate.
We'll. 1t seemed that lie WAS right. The
guest stayed two days and the little boy
was silent the grave apparently about
his affection. DR.. Lombroso congratu-
lated himself that he had judged his Off
springs intelligence so well.
1.-THE little boy. however, uttered a cry
OF rage when he came down to breakfaS;
one morning and found the lame guest
gone.
"'Gone- he shouted. He had no right
to sneak off like that. He'd promised 70

face upon two beautiful lakes Of perhaps
eight or ten acres. the verandas being so
connected that they make one cloistered

amendment proposed by Count Werner de
Merode will be adopted. This allows Of
the provision of substitutes for military
service in peace. but provides that those
who supply substitutes must themselves
undergo short training. sufficient to
make them serviceable soldiers. and take
their places in the ranks when war breaks
out. The adoption of this amendment
would shorten the term Of service for the
rich, while adding largely to the military
strength of the country in time OF war
-
The fact Is that Belgium intends to be-
come great kingdom. instead of remain
ing small buffer state existing on suf-
france. Having a strong army, great
port and fortress at Antwerp. and rich
reserves of gold, all she needs to attain
her end is a powerful fleet. That fleet
her alliance with Holland will enable her
to create Neither the money nor the
consent of the chambers is wanting for its
construction.
Two years ago law was enacted which
permitted the government to afford aid
to shipping companies. which presented
features of competence. of solidity and
Of general interest" In his speech at
Antwerp on June II last King Leopold
indicated how the money was to be found
for the construction Of the fleet. He re-
ferred to 1t as a mercantile marine, true
to his cautious tactics, but all his hearers
know the fleet he projected would, while
carrying goods. be constructed and armed
for war.
We have seventy miles of coast" said
the king land Antwerp could be the first
port of the continent. The necessity or
Belgian ships is recognized. The diplo-
macy OF the great powers is strong and
influential, because fleets and armies,
which we have not. are behind it. We
must create colonies and exploit mines,
the revenues of which will provide US
with t,e indispensable means. Why should
we not grant territories in the kongo

and we make special preparations to serve
them. for they are excellent buyers. The
young ladies from the seminaries are also
GOOD customers, buying the best that is
to be had.
We supply our share of the official en-
tertainments with candies. For social
functions, candies are bought to match
the color scheme: for instance for a
pink tea, pink ices and candies would be
supplied, or, if the rooms were to be
decorated in white and green. the con-
fections would be of those coors. We
make anything in candy nowadays. and
every confectioner carries every kind of
candy, whereas it used to be that every
one had a speciality. A man who made
chocolates was noted for that alone. and
another who made bonbons made no
other sort of candy. But the demands of
the day compel the modern confectioner
to supply all sorts of things pertaining
to his art-for it is an art-or he must
stand back to let more progressive COM
petitor take precedence"

est priced candy is 20 cents pound, a
young man hurried the other day, wear

Sometimes, however. the girl is really

she will select the cheaper candy. If

withstanding the fact thus proved, the

cations that it's real strength will be
considerably greater.
The extent of front between the forti-
fed positions at Antwerp. Namur and
Liege is from twenty to twenty-five miles.
An army of 100000 men would be suffi-
cient TO defend it. Under modern con-
ditions neither France nor Germany
could bring more than 10000 men into
action in Belgium. The army of 2Da.01o
men which Belgium is determined to keep
in readiness for mobilization is an army
of offense, and to it the Dutch army will
be joined when war breaks out.
Ambition, as much as the fear of pow
erful neighbors. has forced the Belgian
ruler on. BY means of Belgian industry
and kongo gold he is determined to re-
establish the power of the Lew Countries.
NJ. Beernaert, the great statesman who
was twice prime minister of Belgium, re-
Gently declared that when war broke out

THE political destinies of tho two

The Dutch can put about 5000 sol
diers In the field at present. The plan of
Belgium and Holland united : again

out. to mobilize their forces on the
French and German frontiers from Din
ant to Maestrict.
Eighty thousand Relgians and forty
thousand Dutch would make the beiiS
erents respect our territories. said the
Belgian statesman. and he added with
significance. the mobilization of these
troops would not prevent us from de-
tending Antwerp"
Although the plan of forming great
army of offense originated with King
Leopold, he took good care never to
sneak of offense. but always to confine
himself to questions of defense, when he
