SuperstitIous Mothers.

Tn the far north skin cradles arc commonly used. As rule these are very crude and often unsightly in construction. They are very rare, even in great museums and ethnologic collections, because of the supersti- tions and prejudices of the mothers. Among the Tlinkits of Alaska, no mat ter how large the family may be, the same cradle is never used for more than one child.

Mrs. vermilya's roomers and relatives in past years met death.f If the pepper and poison compound has been a part of her larder in past years, that fact, said the police, while pointing out mora clearly basis for their contention that Mrs Vermilya has more than passing knowledge of the cause of the death of her associates, made it more difficult than ever to connect her with death other than that of Bissonnette, since rat poi son may be purchased anywhere without registry.
 Representatives of the coroner brought out ;o Chicago tonight parts of the body of Conductor R. T. Smith, who died Of stomach disorder not clearly defined, while a rcomer at the Vermilya home. They will be examined for poison.
 J. A. Deets. brother-in-aw of Smith, told the investigator that Mrs. Vermlya. after Smiths funeral, asked his relatives for $50 to defray embalming expenses and later asked permission to erect a monument over Smiths grave, both re- quests being refused.

 Indiscriminate Slaughter Four days after October 23 the 1tal- ians indulged in indiscriminate slaugh- ter of the Arab population under sane
 tion of General Caneva, Italian com
 mander, says the correspondent, who continues:
 "Caneva first issued an order to shoot all Arabs found with arms, but only when caught by troops in charge of officers. The troops complained that numbers of Arabs had hidden their arms and resumed work as husband- men. Thereupons Caneva iss sfesTfs,f order to shoot all Arabs reasonably be suspected ot borne arms sSes~s- "The blood of the men was up narui ally as they had seen their comrades

 He gives instances witnessed by himself and his colleagues and follows this with signed statements by the latter made at the request ol the Brit !sh counsel and affidavits of three Ger man business residents in refutation of the Italian premier's denial that wom- en and children were shot. These statements which are likely to stimulate the agitation against lial- ians methods are being to excite Eur | rope. Previous to October 23 the cor respondent says the Italians treated ] the Arabs with the n,inost kindness and says 1t is only fair to say. that

Turn About.

A young English student late one cold and wintry night found the door of his college locked against him. The young man outside argued with the doorkeeper inside, cajoled and entreat- ed, but to no avail. Eventually he slipped half sovereign under the door and was admitted. It was a financial deal wisely thought out on strict busi- ness lines. Once inside, he informed the janitor (falsely) that, unfortunate ly, after taking the half sovereign out of his purse he had dropped the purse itself on the doorstep. The attendant went out to secure it, but once on the chilly, wet doorstep the door was slam med. Then the deal was repeated, for the shivering mercenary was not al lowed into his warm abode until he had slipped the half sovereign back again.

Curious Bibles.

Among the curious Bibles is the Prosecuting Printers Bible, contain ing the phrase, "Prlnters have perse- cuted me without cause" Qpsalm cXix, 16U. The substitution of the word "printcrs" for princes is responsible for the giving of this name to this Bible. All We know of this edition is stated by Stevens in his catalogue of the CeXton exhibition of Bibles. This authority tsak r that these word. were put into bttAo printed before lTo2.
