Rannana Insurance.

This is a modern business age where

dancer may insure her ankles or
man with important business on hand
may be Unidentified against late ar
rival of a passenger train which failed
to convey him to a certain point in
time to close an important deal in
volving millions. But there is still
new kind of indemnity, and not Lloyd's
either. 1t is the mere insurance OF
your personal belongings while trav-
cling, and this very latest idea Is
through a system of tourists baggage
tickets. A traveller bound anywhere
can insure his baggage for short pc
riod as readily as he can get personal
accident insurance to cover the perils
of the journey.-New York Tribune.

LEGAL ABsURDIr1ES.
Fine Distinctions That Are Found In
the Criminal LaM.

Burglary Is the crime of breaking
in and entering in the nighttime OF
another's dwelling house with an in
tent to commit-a felony therein. This
means precisely what ii says. III
door or window Is broken open, or the
knob OF an unlocked door is raised, or
an unlocked window is raised, 1t Is
burglary. But If the door or window
Is left slightly open or even raised as
little as an inch and a thief pushes or
raises 1t entirely open and enters, 1t is
not burglary. IT means, too, dwell
ing house" Therefore If a family is
sleeping In a tent or booth and
thief enters 1t Is not burglary. If all
the other conditions are met and 1t
happens that the dawn has broken,
there can be no burglary, for that part
of the definition specifying the night
time is strictly adhered to.
We meet another of these fine dis
tinctions in larceny" the stealing OF
personal or movable property, which
requires that the thief must get COM
plete control. Thus If thief In at
tempting to steal watch lifts II out
of mans pocket and 1t Is not attach
ed to the owner by chain, IL the
thief gets 1t into his hand for mo-
ment only it is larceny and felony.
If, however, the watch is attached to
the clothing. even though the pick
pocket cannot see the chain, as might
happen in a crowd, he has not had
complete control, and the act is not
larceny, but only a misdemeanor. The
difference Of the two terms relates
only to the length of the sentence.
But If 1t is your watch and you wish
to see the trial of the would be thief
proceed you will do well to see that
the indictment does not choose the
wrong word.-Charles B. Brewer in
MeClure's Magazine.

Measuring Memory.

Attempts have been made from time
to time in France to measure mem

in reading series of figures to the
subject at regular speed of about
two per second and observing how
many he can repeat without error
in the order in which they were given.
The faculty of voluntary attention is,
of course, called into play by this ex-

years old retain on the average five

''the five prizes for 1910 would each be
greater by about 10000 kronen."

POSING OF THE TROUT.
Its Resemblance to the lowering of the

Its Resemblance to the lowering Of the
kestrel In the Air
As the kestrel is to the clouds so is
the trout to the crystal waters. Both
kestrels and trout display that magical
posing as if suspended by invisible
threads-only now and then, when
cross currents are encountered. is a
sign given to show that life itself Is
not In suspense.
A brief agitation of the kestrels
wings, swishing of the trout's tail
the cross current Is weathered, and
bird or fish poises motionless again.
And as when walking along we are
pulled up in ever fresh wonder by the
sight of the towering kestrel, so we
must needs pause on bridge when
there is trout In the stream below.
He looks his best posing with head
to the stream-a shapely form against
the background of smooth brown peb-
bles and waving emerald weeds Lean
ing over the bridge with eyes on the
trout a vision is conjured-an allurtng
fly drops on the water, then a slack
line tightens, there is a song from the
reel. rod bends. there follows a daz-
cling dance of vermilion spots against
the green of the bank.
Or as we come to the bridge on a
winters day we think we hear a
mighty FLASHING of water over the
pebbles, which turns out to be the
play of thirty or forty trout. the play
of the last round of some water tour
ney. AS they come to the surface. roll
ing and wallowing. their great fat
sides look twice as big as when seen
