Men who are married at
an early age—from 18 to 25—offend
against property more often than the
of the same age, and mar-
men who are older. This is profe-
explalned by the pressure of Cgm-
expenses. Offenses against morali-
ty are far more common among «o-
marrled men—a fact that was to be
expected. Offenses against human
life are more frequent among the un-
married, though the disproportion is
not eo great as in the matter of rights
at property. It is Interesting to note,
says the New Tork Weekly, that the
criminality of widowers decreases with
advancing years, although this is prob-
ably trap of all men. Widowers, how-
ever, contribute a greater share of
crime between the agea of 30 and 60

Pine Bluff, Ark., Dec. L—Fearing
that the already weakened banks of
the Arkansas river would be unable to
withstand the pressure of the water
when, the full force of the present rise
reaches Pine Bluff, it was decided at
a mass meeting of citizens held here
yesterday to divert, if possible, the
channel of the river by the cutting
through of a narrow strip of land,
where the river starts a “horseshoe”
bend several miles north of the city.
This plan, if successful, will leave Pine
Bluff away from the main channel, and
would eliminate the danger of an over-
flow. The action of the mass meeting
followed the report of the coming of a
16-foot rise, the crest of which will
probably reach Pine Bluff by Wednes-
day.

YOUTHFUL MIND IN DISTRESS.
Awful Possibility That Loomed Before
Six-^ear-Old Jackie.
Six-year-old Jackie’s mother be-
lieved that absolute truthfulness was
the only rock on which to build that
youthful gentleman’s character, and
the consistent working out of this
principle did away, of course, with be-
lief in all such things as fairies, Santa
Claus, and other illusions dear to
childish hearts, and they became In-
stead “make-believe” games, Santa
Claus in particular being a pet “joke”
between bis niother and himself.
Jackie came in from play one after-
noon much excited and concerned.
“Mother, Jimmie Norton believes
there is a really and truly Santa
Claus. He says he Is sure that Santa
Claus does come down the chimney.
He wouldn’t believe me at all when
I told him it was just a joke,” with
rising anxiety.
Jackie’s mother was somewhat non-
plused. “Well, son,” she temporized,
“perhaps Jimmie’s mother will tell
him the joke some time soon, and
then—”
“Oh, I hope she will," broke in
Jackie, forgetting his manners in his
earnestness, “because, you know, if
she don’t, when Jimmie has little boys
of his own they won’t ever get any
Christmas presents.”

EMERSON’S MEMORY AT FAULT.
Had at Times Almost Entire Lack
of Remembrance.
Emerson was a notable sufferer
from the vagaries of memory. His bi-
ographer relates that he met him one
day in Boston, apparently at a loss for
something, and asked him where he
was going. “To dine,” said Emerson,
“with a very old and dear friend. I
know where she lives, but I hope she
won’t ask me her name,” and then he
proceeded to describe her as “the
mother of the wife of the young man
—the tall man—who speaks so well,”
and so on, until his interlocutor
guessed to whom he was referring.
Even the names of common objects
often failed him completely. On one
occasion, when he wanted an umbrel-
la. he said: "I can’t tell its name, but
I can tell its history. Strangers take
it away.”
This failing of Emerson led to a
pathetic scene when he attended
Longfellow’s funeral, and remarked as
he gazed at the coffin: “He was a
sweet and beautiful soul; but I have
entirely forgotten his name.”
BREAKS A COLD PROMPTLY
The following formula is a never
failing remedy for colds:
One ounce of Compound Syrup of
Sarsaparilla, one ounce Torls Com-
pound and one-hqlf pint of good
whiskey, mix and shake thoroughly
each time and use in doses of a table-
spoonful every four hours.
This if followed op will care an
acute cold in 24 hoars. The Ingre-
dients can be gotten at any drug store.
Vulgarity of Quarreling.
There must be a satisfaction in tor-
turing human beings, for it is done so
often. Nobody blames a wife for up-
holding her self-respect and resenting
insult, but there is little sympathy for
one who deliberately drives a man to
deeds of rudeness and violence. Nag-
ging and indulgence in bad temper
leave indelible marks on the face of a
woman, on her voice and on her char-
acter. They shrivel up whatever
sweetness nature has put into her dis-
position and make her unlovely, even
In the eyes of those who feel In duty
bound to give her affection. It is often
hard to maintain silence under provo-
cation, but there is always the open
door of escape, you know. A quarrel
does not thrive when fed from one
side only, and what should be impor-
tant to every woman with pretenses
to refinement Is the undisputed vul-
garity of bickering. Education and
refinement are supposed to lift us so
far above vulgarity that even the hems
of our skirts are unstained.—Exchange.
In Beautiful 8epu1cher.
The last resting place of the great
Norwegian composer, Edward Grieg,
is one ot the most beautiful in its nat-
ural surroundings that could be imag-
ined. By the side of a lake, at the ex-
tremity of a .fiord, close to the compos-
er's native town of Bergen, there is a
natural grotto formed in the solid
rock, which rises precipitously from
the water's edge. Here the bones of
the famous musician are burled, and,
as the grotto is only accessible from
the lake, the funeral cortege will have
to make the journey by water.
Molasses and Sugar.
The term "molasses” is properly ap-
plied to the saccharine product which
is separated from sugar In the process
of manufacture. A syrup is the direct
product of the evaporation of the
juice of a sugar-yielding plant or tree
without the removal of any of the
sugar. The term molasses applies to
the same process with the exception
of the fact that the sugar has been re-
moved at least partially by crystalliza-
tion and some kind of mechanical sep-
aration of the crystals from the re-
maining liquid.
A red-hot iron applied to he flesh
/s a vigorous but none the less effec-
tive cure for hysteria. The physicians
have concluded that too much sym-
pathy is usually given in cases of
hysteria, and thaf a realistic shock
sometimes accomplishes more than
medicine. In fact, one expert at the
recent meeting of the American Asso-
ciation of Obstetricians and Gynecolo- \
gists asserted that physicians practice |
more Christian Science than do the 1
Christian Scientists. The principal ;
paper was read by Dr. A. Morgan
Vance of Louisville on the subject: i
“Hysteria as a Surgeon Sees It.”
Some of Dr. Vance’s ideas follow:
“A physician asked me to go to a
place iOO miles from Louisville to see \
his sister, who was bedridden and had
worn out her family and other rela-
tives being waited on. I refuse^'to go
and said she would have to be brought
to me. Some time later the physician
asked me to go to a hospital in Louis-
ville to see his sister. She declared
she was going to die and that she
couldn’t turn over when I told her to.
‘The-devll you can’t,’ I said roughly,
and grabbed her by the hips and threw
her over. I had her taken away from
a lot of sympathizing old women, and
in a short time she was walking
around.
“I was called to treat a young wom-
an whose leg had drawn up. Her
mother gave her trashy French novels
and wrote her 40-page letters; besides,
she was surfeited with sympathy from
mothers. The leg was put In a plaster
cast for effect, and when I was cutting
it out later she said: ‘I know my leg
Is going to draw up—I know it!’ Just
as I was about to remove the cast I
sprang at her and shaking my fist in
her face I growled: ‘If that leg draws
up I’ll break .your d- little neck!’
She was a refined and cultured girl,
and the Bhock cured her immediately.”
Dr. John A. Lyons of Chicago told
an amusing story of how he finished
an Infant to a hysterical womans who
imagined she was about to become a
mother. The woman's friends and rel-
atives had been busy making baby
clothes for months, and when the
woman learned from the doctor that
she had a case of imagination she
went on so that the doctor had to get
a baby to wear the clothes that had
been made. He got one at a hospital
and the neighbors don’t know any
better, be said.

Three Views of the Unemployed.
All the world over, the workless
workman is tasting of the bitterness
of hope deferred or of despair only too
well justified. New York, Paris, Ber-
lin, London, are full of the cry of the
workless.—Freeman’s Journal, Dublin.
There is no doubt that the thriftless
habits' of the working classes in Eng-
land—Scotland is much better in this
respect—are greatly to blame for the
extreme destitution that prevails. As.
a rule, the English workingman in-
creases his expenditure with every In-
crease made in his wages.—Town and
Country.
State employment brings us. no near-
er a solution of the unemployed prob-
lem. The bootmaker wants bread and
the baker wants boots, and some unex-
plained defect in the industrial ma-
chine keeps them apart. The socialist
remedy is to set them both to plant
trees upon a windswept moor, and to
plunder the butcher and bricklayer to
provide for the cost of the experiment

The Mutton Birds.
Large poisonous snakes and mutton
birds, otherwise known as antarctic
sooty petrels, fraternize in the Fur-
neaux island rookeries, northeast of
Tasmania, according to Consul Baker
of Hobart, who Investigated thfe hab-
its of the birds.
Mutton bird hunters in reaching in-
to the nests frequently lay hold of
snakes instead of birds. Capt. Flin-
ders of the British royal navy report-
ed that a flock of mutton birds be
once saw was 40 miles in length.
Even the lighthouse at Goose island,
In the Furneaux islands, has to be pro-
tected from the birds by Iron screen
work and frequently hundreds of birds
are killed. The birds arrive in enor-
mous numbers at the rookeries every
year, about September 20.
After the eggs have been laid the
male and female bird takes turns at
batching, each when relieved scouring
the country all day in quest of food.
