SENSATIONAL LITERATURE.

All those who love sensational literature, Of the
real honest-to- goodness kind, ought 10 have them
selves placed the mailing list OF a daily news
paper That mas been Issued now less than year IN
England. The only hindrance is that the paper may
be subscribed for and is for strictly private cir
CulatiOn This journal is the Police Gazette'-no
kinship with the old pink paper barber shops de-
light that has presented its girls in tights and its
criminals mugs to the American public for half a
century.
The British Police Gazette" is exactly what its
name implies, for it is a daily publication gotten
out by Scotland Yard and sent to the police heads
OF every police force in Britain and select few
department heads in foreign lands. The idea, OF
course, is TO spread rapidly and widely pos
sble the intimate and often secret details crime
and description of wanted" criminals so that the
bulls everywhere may be quickly on the alert
The gazette is printed and distributed with all
the speed OF daily paper of general circulation;
noon copies are in the mail on their way to all the
provincial chiefs while. pursuant TO the English
custom, there is a blank 'stOp-press' space left
Of the Iages for the insertion Of last-minute
data. We scarcely need say that copies of this pa
per are highly confidential and the file Of its IS
sues is kept safely under lock and key by the de-
partments that trusted TO receive 1t.
This publication is one Of the innovations intro
duced the British police service by Sir
William T. +. Norwood commissioner of police
who during his tenure Of that Office has revolu-
uonized the capture OF criminals.
To insure absolute secrecy of the facts printed
In Scotland Yard headquarters and printers and
pressmen are members OF the department and sub
jeCt TO the sriCtest discipline relative their work
Under the cloak of such security is said that many
extremely intimate facts revealed. that would be
be attractive reading 10 the public even TO public
fairly satated with scandals crime through
the custom Of the British press of giving such
IA far greater detail than is usual in America. The
British press IS far from sensational head
lines but ITS text Is nearly always complete, and
spades are called spades.

Being Confessions of Wife room

Many things have I made clear
unto thee, Oh my daughter. but when
thou askest. What is lOve?" l am
smitten with doubts.
For, the forms and the colors Of
the flowers of the fields are not more
numerous than loves variations.
Go tot There is a thing called
love of animals" wherein every
man prideth himself. Yet. 1 say
unto thee, it is far easier to love a
dumb creature that adoreth thee
than not to love it.
For what virtue is there in loving
a being, who can never rival thee,
who obeyeth without question, who
never answereth back, and is CRATE
full for a kind word and pat upon
the head?
Likewise, a man taketh great
credit to himself, for his lifelong
devotion unto a dead wife, or unto
a woman who hath married another
and is therefore unattainable.
And this. also. is exceeding simple.
Yet, could he love the same
woman with the same devotion, were
she at hand, to face him across the
breakfast table and the cOffee-urn
each morning? Yea, could he con-
tinue TO adore her. without fluctua-
tons, were she at his heels, each
evening. urging him to wear his
rubbers. and forever questioning him
as TO why he was late for dinner?
And where he had been?
And where he was going?
And why he could never find any
thing around the house2
And why he never wiped the mud
from his shoes before entering?
