cruesome Tower.

strange monument Of modern bar
 barism still survives at Nlsh, in south east Servia, During the War of In dependence in 1909, Seryian gar rison there exploded a powder maga- zine and perished therein rather than fall into the hands Of the Turks. A battle had previously taken place, and the Turks commemorated their victory by erecting a rude tower, ornamented with the heads of their enemies. Old people will tell you that there were once 1.2O0 heads, but as the tower was never more than 25 feet high, this is probably an exaggeration
 Lamartine and other travellers give descriptions of the tower Visitors were i'll the habit Of carrying off skulls as souvenirs, but when Nish became Servian the remainder were taken away for decent burial, all save a few that were too deeply embedded.

Meier -Renulatiors in Japan.

The regulations for motor traffic in Japan are neither long nor compli- cated. In case of vehicle being in the street in an unsafe state 1t is the duty of the police to order it to stop CT to allow it 10 proceed only after defects have been remedied
 Speed is limited to eight miles an hour save in Yokohama, where the speed limit is six miles, Motors must not race When ears meet they must slow down When a motor meets a procession, a funeral or fire engines proceeding to fire, it must pull up and take another route. Violation of these rules will be followed by fine or imprisonment. Tie regulations are not quite so Draconic as they appear for the Japanese streets are very mar row and abound in picturesque and capricious turnings.

A Nautical Christening.

Some years ago a slow sailing ves- sel, when some 600 miles from Liver pool, picked up lusty youngster Of i've years lashed to mast.
 The captain took great liking to him. called him his son and decided that the little chap must be chris tened-one of the few things which he knew must be attended to in the case of children.
 Of course there was no chaplain aboard, so the captain himself under took the ceremony. He gathered the men ahout him, and with mixed knowledge of his duties, he glared about him and asked whether any one knew just cause why the boy should not be christened
 'Tf there is" he roared, speak up like a man or forever hold your tongue"
 Then he suddenly cracked a bottle of wine ever his head and christened him
 The ocean waif is now settled down "a steady longshoreman. but he still relates with satisfaction the story of his christening.

MEASURING FISH BY TIE EYE
1t Is eueeswork and Most Men Go Far Astray as to the
 Length.

Not every man can measure fish ae- curateiy by eye. Many people are apt to make their guess too big, and then there are many who, misled by the taperirg head and the diminishing tail end of the fish, are apt to make it too small.
 Here was little bunch of men out fishing for blues, and presently one pulled in handsome and fair-sized fish. Then somebody started guessing at the length of it and one guessed two feet and another four and still another three feet Then man in the boat who was familiar with fishes glanced at this blue and said that he guessed it would measure two feet and half; whereupon man in the party who had tape measure in his pocket get that out and put the tape on the fish; and 1t actually measured 31 inches.
 There vas just one man in the boat who could measure fish accurately by the eye.

A Real Parcels Post.

The House committee Of post offices and post roads has decided to add to the annual appropriation bill a provision reducing the post age on merchandise to 12 cents a pound, with a special rate of five cents for the first pound and two cents for each additional pound on packages mailed from the postoffice at which a rural route originates to points on that route. The rate limit is also raised from four pounds to l l pounds.
 As this provision was agreed up- on by the Democratic caucus it will probably pass the House and may become a law. It is a step in the right direction, too. but a very short step and very timid one. Of course, changes like this should come only after due consideration, but it seems to us that there is sufficient evidence to justify the establishment of real parcels post, by which we mean one with rates low enough to permit the general use of the mails for trans porting small packages of mer- chandise. Of the rate on rural routes we have no complaint to make; but the reduction of four cents pound on package mailed from one postoffice to another seems to us a mere concession to public sentiment, designed to check the peoples demand for a parcels post rather than to grant it.
 The Commonwealth of Australia almost as large as the United States and with about one-six- teenth the population, has a post age on parcels of 12 cents for the first pound and six cents for eacf additional pound. The people ot the United States should have ar equal low rate, even if the express companies and a few merchants who have been frightened by the wild talk about mail order houses. dc objeet.-The Progressive Farmer

NHf WOMEN GO TO PRISON
Most of Them Err Through ldlenees, Unwise Marriages, ignorance, Youth
 and Friendiiness.

The causes that bring women to prison are seldom of personal or even of direct moral significance. Women seldom use thei. wits to break the law, nor dc most of their crimes demand a quick intelligence They are in the main the result of a lack of training in trades, inconsidered marriages, Ig- norance, youth, friendlessness, the general unguided condition of girls: non employment, low wages, over crovd.ng in tenements, nervous ten sion, and the high-pressure life of the average female factory emp!oye. These and other like causes produce Hhe so-called artificial offenses, such IS inebriety, unruiiness and minor breaches of the law which are most y the rezult of overstrain. It has oft en been said that the barometer of crime rises as that of prosperity fails, and tais is particularly true as re- yards the crimes of women. The thou

Given a period of overproduc- sion OF 3 depression in trade, and the Eomep's prisons fill with these de spairing, idle workers. In New Eng land, wien the factories are running with full force of operatives, there is 2 decided slump in the prison pop ulation, for all goes well with even these weaker spirits so long as they earn enough to eat every day and have a place to sleep every night From "The Care of Women in State Prisons, by Jeanne Robert, in the American Review of Reviews.

Under the in- spired leadership of Sun Yat Sen China broke away from condition of intolerable tyranny and already is practically on a sound basis. With an enlightenment that is re- markable in the eyes of the Vest ern world, the royal dynasty was allowed to withdraw from power with honor and dignity.
