SHOWED SCENES OF CRIMES
Parisian Burg1*'1 Took Magistrate on !
Tour and Pointed Out Residences
of His Victims.
A man named Rene Foergchler,ag<-d
twenty-nine, who is in the Santo j
prison (Paris), awaiting trial on u j
chargo of burglary, recently wrote to
M. Poncet, the magistrate in charge
of hiB case, confessing to 205 other
burglaries. The magistrate at first re* I
fused to believe him, whereupon tho
prisoner offered to tako hira on a per- j
sonally conducted tour of the scene of
his exploits. The other morning, j
therefore, M. Poncet, the prisoner and i
two policemen set out in a cab for a;
drive round the streets of Paris. In
the course of the day 'Jfyjfirflchler J
pointed out thirty-two houses at which
?he had committed burglaries. The fol- )
lowing day the experiment was ro- '
peated, and the scenes of forty-tw<j
other robberies were pointed out. The !
two next days, also, the magistrate !
resumed his t&Bk. B>)erschler has a|
wonderful memory, He pointed out
the different houses without hesitation
and even remembered little details,
as, for example, that such and ?noh
a house formerly had no carpet, lie
affirms that in the course of his ca
reer he has stolen 900 watches, 1,432
earrings, 192 silver plates, 32 gas fit
tings, 361 tie pins and 93 gold j
brooches. I
Men and Women In World.
Tho total population of the world is
now estimated at 1,700,000,000. This
1r based upon the most recent census,
which nil civilized countries now take,
with a careful estimate of the number
of inhabitants of uncivilized lands.
Tho proportion of tho sexes is known
for 1,038,000,000 of these, the ratio be
ing 1,000 males to 990 females. The
ratio varies considerably in different
places. In. Europe there are 1,000 men
to 1,027 women; in Africa, 1,000 mem
to 1,045 women; in America, 1,000 men
to 964 women; in Asia, 1,000 men to
961 women; in Australia, 1,000 men to
937 women.
Tho highest proportion of womon Is
found in Uganda, where there are i,? i
467 to every 1,000 men. The lowest
proportion is in Alaska and the Malay
Btates, where there are, In tho former,
391, and in tho latter 389 women to
every 1,000 men.
Moslem Women In Future Life.
"Are women admitted to paradise?"
is a question that is often answered
in the negative. We find, however,
moro than one passage In tho Koran
that distinctly speaks of a future life
In paradlso for women. Tho most
often quoted is tho one promising the
faithful that he will meet in paradise
besides his own earthly wives seventy
two houris ? not an attractive prO?*
peot for tho poor women, who have
suffered enough in this life from the
humiliations of polygamy! But in
the fburth Sura we find the following
moro definite "atement: 'Hut whose
doeth good works, .whether he ? be
male or female, and is a true belloy-.
er, they shall be admitted Into para*
dlse, and shall not in tho least be
unJuBtlv dealt with.'" ? Life in the
Moslem East, by Pierre Ponafldine.
Turkish Soldiers Without F^zet.
For the first time, we r&K ff.TTVG "Tu rk
ish soldier is going to war without
tho fez. Mahmud II., when ho changed
the uniform of his army, tried to In
troduce tho shako, but tho opposition
of the soldiers was too strong for
him. The fez is certainly a poor cov
ering for men on active service; for
even the chango of its color to khaki
did not get over its feebleness a* a
protection against sun or bad weather..
Hence the headshawl devised some
time ago to be worn twisted around
tho fez. The Turk's devotion to tho
fez is clearly explained by Duckett
Ferrlman: "The prejudice against the
hat rerts on a relipious basis. If the
ramaz (form of prayer) is rightly per
formed the forehead must touch the
ground. The brim of a hat qr tho peak
of a cup* would prevent this"
CURIOSITY THAT (PlET REBUKE

The pA>posal to strengthen the ae
ereoy of t ho Fallot by* votlug by mall
reminded guuator Williams of An elao
Uoa day atory.
"Voting by mail," bo naid, "Is a
radical proposition that I'd. heeltate^
to advocate without furtbor atudy;
but I do most heartily favor Invio
lable secrecy aa regards the ballot.
t'Kven a harmless curiosity about
the ballot Is contemptible. A Sallna
grocer aald to a little girl one "lec
tion day:
" 'Who 1? your father going to vote
for this morning, my deaf?'
"'I don't know/ the little girl an

M'You know less/ the little girl

MARVEL IN GATHERING NEWS
Ordinary Man Cannot Appreciate
What the Production of a Great
' Journal Involve*.
The ordinary reader, as he'opena his
dally journal, is content with a vague
feeling that it somehow edits and corn*
poses itself; ho seldom reflects upon
tho immense amount of%organization,
upon the care in tho solection of news/
and even upon the mechanical skill ill
adjustment so that every column may
bq exactly filled, which are required
for even the most normal isBue. He
seldom reflects upon the speed with
which It all has to bo done. That a
great' paper' should appear morning
after morning generally correct in its
news, readable and so.nd in its liter
ary matter, accurate in its printing,
that it should bo distributed all oyer
th country and (ho world at the right
moment, Is none tho less a marvel
because it has happened so often that
people have ceased to look upon It
wltlj surprise. ?
Good Talkers and Good Writers.
Good talkers are rarely good writ
ers, and vice versa. Good talkers are
those who fill up tho conversational
gaps. A conversational gap 1b the ab
sence of talk. Gaps como when
thought lags. Talkers most bo ready
to jump right in and. fill up tho gaps
without thinking.
Good writers must make gaps;
great, huge thinking gaps, which must
bo used for concentrated meditation,
after which comes the written result
of that meditation. Good talkers must
stop talking when they commence to
write. This Is always hard for them.
Good writers are too careful what
they say to consent to fill sudden talk
ins gaps with mere chatter.
This may make it clear to many a
?woman why her literary ambitions aro
so slow to materialize. ? Life.
English Taxi Rates.
There are one hundred taxlcalis in
tho city of Sheffield, England. The
tariff rate is one shilling (24.3 cents)
for the first mile, and after that 3d.
(six cents) for each quartor of a mile.
This rato Is for one to four persons,
and Includes such baggage as Is car
ried inside. For outsldo luggage a
flx?d charge of 3d. a piece is added to
the cost of the journey. The meter
mechanism Is also affected by a cjock,
so that when a taxlcab is allowed tp
stand with the flag down it registers
at the rate of one mile (or one shilling
cost) in every 16 minutes. A taxlcab
may be contracted for by distance, as
when one wishes to make a trip of 40
miles or more a special price is made
of lOd. (20 cents) a mile, and a stop
of several hours ^allowed without
charge.
How to Attract the Birds.
A"The matter of attracting birds to
your yard is all very simple, particu
larly if you happen to have an- old
grape-arbor, a bit of shrubbery or a
tree or two. Of course, they won't
come without encouragement. It may
be. even, that you Vlll have to give up
your old cat, will soon flpd
the sacrifice amtfly repaid. For to tlio
heart of a little bird, a cat is the very
embodiment of prawling destruction.
Then you must have a feeding-hoard,
on which to spread such dainties as
bits of boiled potato, sodden bread (in
summer), cracked corn,, rice, crushed
nuts of various kinds, trimmings from
meat, and suet. For birds soon grow
to love tho hands that feed them." ?

Infusion Process Successful.
The manner In which soft Iron may
be converted Into hard faced armor
plate by the infusion process appears
in the case of a* teat which has re
cently boon made. A bullet was fired
from a rifle at a dlstanco of thirty
six feet against tho surface of an
iron plate which had been treated by
["the infUBion process, striking with a
velocity of 2.700 feet a second. The
hardened surface caused the rifle ball
to rebound with such directness that
it struck the. stock of the gun from
which it had been fired, imbedding it
self in the wood and narrowly escap
ing the person of the marksman by
^?hom the shot had been flred. ? Cas
