GOT HIS MONEYS WORTH.

The middle-aged, complacent-looking
diner in a certain restaurant an even
ing or two ago pushed back the finger
bowl and then called the waiter over
to him. He leaned back in his chair
and looked the waiter over meditative-
ly.
"How old are your" he asked.
"Twenty-nine? didn't take you to

Well, you ought to get married. Ev'

OF course, the waiter wasn't offend
ed, because he knew a line of talk
like that meant something worth
while.
Then, after the waiter had helped
him on with his coat, the complacent-
looking man laid down a five-cent
piece and, with a benevolent smile at
the waiter, walked out.

MARKING CRIMINALS.

The readoption, in a modified form, Of
the processes Of the unscientific past by
the scientific present continues to be an
interesting phase of modern progress.
Time was when society branded its Grim
inals with an indelible record Of their
offence and punishment. The custom
was barbarous, most Of ell because II
deprived the offender of a fair chance to
redeem the past. Yet when branding
was abolished. society realized lmme-
diately that it had lost the means Of
identifying the habitual criminal. a
proposition made at the time 10 substi-
tute for the branding iron code Of tat
tooing marks according 10 the nature Of
the offence was rejected for humani-
tartan reasons, but now Germany is re

measure to the Bertilon system. Der

cumstantiality in the case. for instance,
of suspects wanted" at a distance, much
correspondence and copying Of records
being required before the test can be
applied. A mark on the body Of the
suspect himself. or its absence would
expedite matters very much.
A French criminologist now comes to
the fore with the proposal that offenders
should he marked by subcutaneous injec-
tions Of paraffine. Such injections, II
may be explained are one Of the arts Of
the beauty doctor, who thereby oblfer-
ates wrinkles and hollows and corrects

has been reinforced by the scientist, I'M
til even eyestrain has come to have a
speculative historical meaning as pos
sible explanation Of the peculiarities OF
certain men Of genius. Now it is the turn
of the unspeakable Roman Emperor
Heliogabalus. His latest English b1og-
rapher succeeds in clearing him of the
charge Of wanton cruelty, but for the
rest leaves his case very much where IT
was before merely tagging 1t with new
scientific label-that Of degeneracy.
Heliogabalus, says his apolOgist, was
not responsible for his vicious incllna-
tions and their unrestrained indulgence
How far history will be able to take

point of view still remains TO be seen

ADMISSION TO AN OVERCROWDED
PROFESSION.

Admission to the bar In this state Is
to be made more difficult by the new
rules which go into effect on July l. The
period Of preparation required Of all
classes of students is heightened one
year. Non-graduates of colleges or uni
yersities now devote three years to prep
aration; after July ! it will be four
years. The period in the case Of college
or university graduates is heightened
from two TO three years. Admission or
members of the bar from other states is
made less easy. A member Of the bar OF
three years standing in another state
may be admitted after spending year
IN the study Of law in this state, either
as q clerk or as student in a law school.
and then only upon passing an examina-
ton. This will prevent i'll qualified per-
sons from jurisdictions which are very
lax In their standards Of admission from
becoming members Of the New York bar.
The whole purpose Of these changes Is
to raise the standard Of admission and
reduce the number Of successful candi-
dates. Law Is a greatly overcrowded
profession, and overcrowding is the cause
of certain evils. The difficulty Of max
ing a living in the face Of such compe-
tition as exists drives the weaker and
less successful practitioners into unscru-
pulous ways Moreover, in spite Of
everything that may be done to raise
standards of admission and discourage
applicants, overcrowding is likely to con-
time. Present tendencies suggest at
least the possibility that litigation will
decrease in the future. Workmen's COM
pensation and employers liability laws,
for example, aim to provide for the auto
matte settlement Of many disputes which
now find their way TO the courts. In
course of time that source Of litigation
may be greatly reduced
Furthermore. the attention now being
directed toward simplifying procedure
and eliminating the causes OF the laws
delays is sure TO bear fruit. Grounds for
appeals will diminish as the courts be-
come less technical in their attitude, and
it is proposed TO reduce the number OF
appeals now legally possible. Combina-
ton in industry reduces the opportuni-
ties Of the bar. Two rival concerns each
have counsel They merge, and there is
one law firm, with assistants and clerks.
Incomes in the front rank Of the profes-
sion will doubtless go on increasing In
spite Of these tendencies, but the golden
opportunities of the few will serve to
perpetuate the Overcrowding

oped throughout the immense domain Is
m rypllnitG

oped throughout the immense domain Is
nothing less than marvellous.
It was in 1896 that an imperial decree
first ordered the creation Of postal sys-
ten. and in 1898 the decree was rear
firmed as a part OF that daring scheme ol
reforms with which the Emperor starteu
China and brought upon himseH the
repressive wrath Of the Empress DOW
agcr. Not until after the suppression of
the Boxer outbreak. as late as 1901. was
the decree executed. III that year 1'6
Offices were opened last year there were
1852. In 1901 only 10,500O00 pieces OF
matter were handled; In 1910 the num-
her was 355.OO0,OOO. At the present tlme
there are postofiices in all parts or the
empire. Regular mail routes extend from
the Yellow sea to the Roof OF the World
and from Siberia to the borders or ION
ouin. Last year 295O0 bags Of matter
were carried through the rapids OF the
Ichang gorges on the Yang-tse, with q
loss Of one mans life and one bag OF
mail. and during the pneumonia plague
outbreak in Manchura seven hundred
mail carriers maintained the service
without interruption in the stricken area
Of whom only one died. During the year
thousands Of miles Of new routes were
established in Chinese Turkestan. regu-
lar service was established across the
Desert Of Cobb, and the construction OF
wireless telegraph station was begun III
Lhasa.
1t is all very wonderful. but 1t Is just
a characteristic part Of the greater won
der Of the awakening Of China, which
within the space Of half generation Is
completely Transforming that empire.
The postal service has been placed under
the Minister Of Communications, and he
is a member Of a Cabinet organized on
precisely such plan as that or
European constitutional monarchy. the
Tsung-li Yamen, once so familiar, Is now
as much a thing Of the past as the dodo
or the mammoth. China has arrived,
and the postal system is one OF the
tokens Of that fact.
