ment that there is less crime in that
country of 500,0O0.000 people in

with few millions is remark
able. But the sight of the
punishments inflicted goes far to
convince us that we are too lenient
and the punishments do not meet the

jails. and murder is punished with
almost instant capitation. The

the bills which have been incurred
in the searching that has been done.
and we may not be so very anxious
to have another grand jury. 1t might
not be bad idea to punish the boot
leggers by making them wear the

One of the most embarrassing situa-

in the least know what her father did,
and for long time did not observe

must be quiet or she would not go
church again, she suddenly, in the
middle of the sermon, looked up and
saw him. and screamed: "Auntie, look
there's daddy up there. And what
ever is he yelling about?"
Which reminds me of two little
nephews of mine who were taken to a
churchyard by very old and pious
aunt. She, thinking to impress the sur
roundings on them, said: You know,
Jack and Fred, it is only the body that
lies here. Now, what part of him goes

INTERESTING SPOT OF LONDON
Whispering Gallery of ST. PauPs Ca
thedrai Has Many Things to Inter
est the Visitor to the City.

The famous whispering gallery of
st. PauPs Cathedral, London, is
reached by a flight Of 260 steps from
the library. This gallery, which is
about 210 feet above the cathedral
floor, is noted for a curious echo, and
is so named because whisper uttered
near the wall on one side of 1t is dis
tinctly audible to person standing
on the other side, a distance of 108
feet in straight line. From this
point a good view is obtained of the
church interior. the tesselated pave
ment of which looks like a minute
chesboard, but it is liable to cause
giddiness to anyone not used to
heights. 1t also commands the best
view of Thornhill's paintings and of
the cathedral generally. From the
whispering gallery 118 steps lead up
to the stone gallery, an outer gallery
with a stone parapet running round
the base of the dome. Here in the
clear sky Of early morning may often
be obtained a wonderful view of Lon
don, view which is still more extern
siye from the golden gallery above the
dome. From this point the lantern
may be assembled by a spiral stair
case to the golden bali, where six
persons may stand at once.

FOR AND AGAINST Boards
Public Opinion Always Has Been
Sharply Divided on Subject Of
Face Covering.

We need not go SO far back as the
eighteenth century to find Ehglishmen
who held that shaving was "agen God
and nature" In the nineteenth,
James Ward, r. A. in a Defense of
the Beard" set forth eighteen rea-
sons for retaining it, mainly Scriptur-
al, reinforced by artistic considera-
t1ons What would a Jupiter be
without beard? Who would counte-
nance the idea of shaved Christi"
AS late as 1860 Theologos published
treatise entitled. Shaving; a Breach
of the Sabbath and a Hindrance to the
Spread of the Gospel" One of his
points was that Providence had mani
testify designed the beard as a pro-
lection for the throat and chest But
what about the woman's throat?
Nowhere was there more prejudice
centuries ago against boards than at
the inns of court. The black books"
of the inns tell us how offenders were
fined for wearing boards, and some
times were even compulsorily shaved
by order of court. And the prejudice
against the bearded barrister still lin
gers. Vice-Chancellor Bacon carried
his dislike to bearded or mustached
barristers so far that he always re-
fused to hear them. Even now there
are very few leading counsel with
boards. and can remember only one
unshaved barrister of the greatest
eminence, the late Judah Philip Benja-
min, @. .-silver-tongued Benjamin,
who wore mustache and goatee.-

Whale Steak.


So insistent Is the demand Of the
Japanese people for whale meat that
there is great danger Of a scarcity of
whales in that part of the Pacific near
the Flowery Kingdom.
So obvious is this state of affairs
that the Japanese government permits
only 80 ships to operate for whale
hunting purposes, but the number of
whales captured is not restricted in
the least
The Japanese greatly prefer whale
steak to beefsteak, the best cuts OF
the former selling there for IL cents
a pound. 1t is said to be very much
coarser than beefsteak and to have
somewhat the same taste as venison
The methods of preparing it resem-
BILE those used for beefsteak. the ia
vorite methods being broiling, frying
and baking.
The tail of the whale is considered
especially delicious by our almond
eyed brethren.

NV ladv's Mirror,

Exercise is a splendid skin tonic.
A brisk walk, no matter if in the rain,
will freshen the complexion, even as
1t freshens the flowers, and simple
aperient will do wonders for muddy
skin. 1t remains for all women to
preserve such beauty as they have
and to cure the defects which are pc
culiar to them or that time was
wrought. Every skin is different and
must be treated accordingly, and it
takes a reasoning woman to expert
ment carefully and find out the prop
er method of treatment for her skin.
Most women, whether they be
fieshy or thin, walk far too little. The
woman who tends to be fieshy should
walk for at least an hour every day,
and do it regularly and systematic
ally. AS she gets accustomed to the
exercise she should increase the num-
Der of miles she walks a day until

other great works throughout the

The decision to go out of business
has been taken by the present Sir
John Arid, who succeeded his father
in 1911, and inherited from him q
fortune Of over $5,OO0.00O. The rea-
son given Is that, while the risks OF
contracting are as great as they ever
were, the profits are not nearly SO
large as they were some twenty or
thirty years ago. Great plants will
be distributed and stan Of engineers
and workmen, who are said to have
no superiors, will be seeking new
positions as result Of the action

Mr.. Rockefeller and the New Haven

Any surmise that Mr.. Rockefeller
transferred his stock exchange seat to
his son with intent absolutely to retire
from active business life was dispelled
when 1t was learned that he attended
the meeting of the New Haven Rail-
read company's directors on the afternoon
Of the day of his transfcrance of his
$, at IN the stock exchange to his son. That
directors meeting was likely to prove OF
important relation to the embarrassment
of the New Haven Railroad company
The dir ectors might decide to accept the
pI cpos ition of the state of Massachu-
sets which provides that upon all shares
of the Boston and Maine Railroad COM
pany with which the New Haven COM
pany was to part there should be
stamped an agreement or option setting
| forth that If at any time the state of
Ma ssachusetts desired tc buy that stock
| il should have the right to do so. Were
the New Haven directors to accept that,
then the dissolution which the govern
uent at Washington has insisted upon
should be brought aboit by voluntary ac-
| ton, thereby making it necessary for
the Attorney General to bring suit.
Mr.. Rockefeller was one OF the first
CHI ectors to enter the directors room at
the Giand Central terminal at that meet
| ing. His appearance made 1t unneces-
| sarv for him to say In words how greatly
| the organic disease from which he is suf-
| fering has impaired his health. 1t is
! understood to be one of the directors of
the New Haven road who is earnestly
| opposed and, as he believes, for good
business reasons, to the acceptance by
the New Haven company of the Massa-
cErsetts propositidn
! William Rockefeller was interested in
| the New Haven property some years be-
fore the late j. Perpont Morgan became
actively identified with 1t. His interest
lin this property was first aroused by his
daily observation of the physical prop
