Too Often Neglects to Cover Up Ifer Tracks. Several recent crimes in which Women played the leading part have moved the French writer, Jean Frollo, to study women criminals. The, .woman criminal, lie says, never displays, in her exploits what is known as tho "simplicity of genius." Her crimes arc always too complex, too ramified to escape close observation on the part of cIobo.investigators. There is plenty of' ingenuity in them ���������more perhaps than In those of men ���������but where the man criminal leaves tho one inevitable overlooked '��������� point the female of that class will leave a dozen. In particular do many essentially feminine attributes display themselves in women after the commission of a crime. Frollo assures us that criminal woman cannot conceal her secret. She 'must blab; and as another trait is her unfailing desire for sympathy-In her hour of tribulation, it follows that the inevitable confident is bound In long, or short time, to extract the secret from the peccant feminine. , And as for returning, like all criminals, to thc scene of the committed crime, woman is far worse, in this case, than man. Just, as when in- Jurod woman intends to take her life she always returns to take it whore, her: traducer. >stabbed her heart.- and her,love, so the woman who has committed a foul crime always returns', to tlie theatre of tragedy.

He used a nom de guerre, and gave an address- at the nearest town. The widow also used i pseudonym, and they interchanged ;ypewritten letters. The young man tvas delighted at-the propsect of becoming engaged to a young widow !rom his own town, and the'widow ooked forward to marrying again in i'town only a, few miles away from ler dear., boy. A meeting between hfj widow- and the engineer was ar- ���������anged, and then it was discovered Uat all the affectionate correspondence had been wasted between mother and soul' ' ^ <C ' , AXLE GREASE, HARNESS -OIL, ."WHIPS, ' CURRY- COMBS,. ,HALTERS, .BRUSHES, SWEAT COLLARS,' and also' ���������BICKMORE'S GALL CURE, whlctV we warrant a satisfactory Cure for Galls, Wonnds, and Sores upon animals.'

' One would hardly recommend Irkutsk for a rest cure. -With- a population of 120,000. persons crammed into a couple of square .miles oh a bend in , the Angora river,, it produces 600 murders in a year, with an average of one arrest for each fifty killings. And for each ten arrests there are but five oonvictions. ' This is . a transcription from the city's criminal records.'

Then, It is said, champagne and wines were often- cautiously transported free of freight" charges from St. Petersburg and Moscow in steel cars labeled Powder ��������� cars militant with painted Imperial eagles and Cossack guards, A colonel - of the regiment openly boasted in the Metropole restaurant recently that more champagne was drunk in Irkutsk in one month during the Japanese .war than Is sold on Broadway, New York, in half a year. ��������� The-fun. at'Irkutsk starts at midnight;;-the city is as dead as a Sunday an hour before.

Last year there . were, for instance, the young Harvard graduate of a town in the. north of Pennsylvania and his friend the clergymans' son. They sojourned here for three hectic weeks, spending' $25,000 in one hotel during that time. The Harvard man disbursed $1,000 in one day and another day had $2,500 stolen ' from his person.

A man .was' brought before his Worship ' charged with being ..-on premises with felonious intent. The circumstances were, that a young lady, on retiring for the night to "her bedroom,-happened in a' quite-accidental manner to. discover that there was a man lying concealed under her bed. She rushed out for.help, and the-man was arrested and brought before tlie judge. It was alleged that he had got into the house through a window, and had found his way upstairs unobserved. His excuse was that, under the influence'of drink, hie had mistaken, the house. To most minds the ��������� excuse would appear to; be a particularly thin one, but the court-so far accepted.it as" to dismiss the case, holding > that there was no evidence of felonious' intent. People do, not enter their own houses thrpugh the window and conceal themselves under beds as a rule, but:one has heard of it being -done before for .unlawful purposes. In future Bill SIkes will have a legal precedent to quote in his favour whenever he'is found oh other people's premises, and the decision Is one which will doubtless be welcomed by the predatory fraternity.

An Unstable Platform One of the most remarkable poli- ial. meetings on record is described a' Paris contemporary as having taken place at Riga. The Letts So- ���������oiolisfcs desired to hold a iheeting. The Riga police expressed an oppo- Bite view, and then the 'contest began in reality.. It was brains versus determination. Wherever the Socialists., determined to pitch their camp the police checkmated them. At last one of the Socialists conceived a brilliant Idea. He circularised the members of his. organisation to have a kind of swimming match. Qf course, the competitors were the orators. They went into the water, and the assemblage stood around. Then swimmer after swimmer delivered a speech, and invited questions from those on land It is claimed that, although somewhat damp, the meeting was a great success. British Columbian Fruit The apple crop of British Columbia will be about a two third yield, says the Canadian Pacific reports. Peaches are a failure with the exception of Pentictoh, B.C., where some fair shipments' will be made. ! Cherries have been a good crop in the Koote- nays, Plums, and prunes are. fair and apricots have proven a very regular crop. One! grower in Penticton, gathered 5,400 pounds of apricots from 100 trees, and after, paying-.the-.cost of picking, boxing and packing he realized a net profit of 8 - cts. per pound or $<J24.00, for his crOp. The fruit shipment from\ the -Okanagan Valley for the season will be about 300 cars. The amount of land, under cultivation in British Columbia :and devoted exclusively to fruit represents 140,000 acres, or an investment of easily forty million dollars. One million acres of land is still available for fruit culture. Of the lands- under .cultivation only fifteen per cent are yet bearing, so that a yearly shipment of 7,000 cars cr.n be looked for when all the present -roh^rdc ;arc preducing. ���������������������'..i", V!*W ��������� LMf I W**"j^ivJKJ^IVI^ Jas.

WHO'S WHO j ��������� .IN CANADA 0OCXX>OOOOO0OCXX)OOO00OO0OO0 SIR HENRY M. PELL ATT - Few men of the Dominion have done better work in the direction of bringing, to the attention of the world beyond the seas what sort of men they are who compose this Canada of ours. Others have done their part with the pen, with the'brush,xand in other literary connections of a more or less beneficial, character. Sir Henry produced, the goods, so to speak. A.t his own' financial expense, and doubtless at no inconsiderable personal trouble and inconvenience, he took to the old country the "Queen's Own" of Toronto of which he is Lt- Colonel, first to the coronation of King Edward, and on tne second occasion ! to the Aldcrshot Manoeuvres, thus showing to the folks in the old land,how well Canada was following in the footsteps of her martial progenitors, and at the same time holding out in front of all whom it might concern, a suggestion, that should"bc- casion arise there was a conjoint Imperial army of good men and- true to be taken, into account. '��������� Silt H. M. PELLATT^ Jit-Col. ''Queen's Own" Jtifles From the mere advertising point of view,- it was undoubtedly a great producer for Canada of brain, brawn and capital. By those capable of judging, the Colonel is reckoned a clever business manj methodical to a degree, with the virtue of patience running all the time ln the correct direction. His knowledge of public affairs is wide, and his application of that knowledge is directed along lines that are broad enough to bring appreciation and of commendation from men of all colors of politics and shades of religion. In addition to these, and a number of other admirable points, Sir Henry Is first and all the time an Imperlal- iet, ��������� and a strong ty>pe of the breed at that. Born at Toronto in 1860, the Colonel had his civil life education at Upper Canada College. His military attainments were handed out by nature. At the age of fifteen, young Pellatt entered the office of his father, and If he did not actually scrub out the floor and polish up the handle of the big front door, he no doubt went through the usual ordinary schedule of the office-lad of the times. From the outset It was on evidence that his business acumen was right, and when yet a young man he blossomed out as junior partner with,his fat/her In the firm of Pellatt and Pellatt. Since then his name has been associated with a large number of commercial and Industrial concerns, and In every Instance, be It said, with honor and success. Amongst other things, Sir Henry, is a director of The Crow's Nest Paas Company; is president of the Toronto Electric Light Company, of the Toronto and Niagara Power Company, and the Cobalt Lake Mining Company; vice-president of the Manu- fin/vf"jr.->ra .,2JZ.% ,I^lI������2Il������^������2ffJ>ajTV; ' dTrecfoT" orihe Toronto jrcallv/ay co., the Richelieu and Ontario Navigation Co., the Dominion Iron and Steel Co., the British America Assurance Co., etc., etc., and also ..finds hours to devote to the duties ..-that fall on a governor of Grace Hospital, and a trustee, of Trinity University. Joining the CJueen's. Own regiment in early life, Sir Henry- has passed through all the commissioned ranks to the command-, and (was, It will be remembered, major, of the Canadian contingent to the Queen's Jubilee celebrations in England In 1897. He Is member of , such clubs as the Toronto, . National,-and Rldeau, and all the. recreation demands of .his nature are satisfied ln connection with his military duties. . H. R, H. WAS DELIGHTED Since his arrival, H. R. H. the Duke of Conn-aught has- signified his pleasure' at the complete arrangements made for- his transportation from England to the Canadian Capital both on board the Empress of Ireland and on the special train by which, he was carried from Quebec. to Ottawa, and he has highly; complimented the C. P. R. officials on their forethought and attention! ' One of the minor details that especially* pleased the Royal party was a s"pecial::-ediltioh of their annotated; time-table,,, provided for the trip from'Quebec :jtb .'Ottawa.; The time-table was bound In white padded kid,' bearing the' Duke 'of (Connaught'a coat^f-arms embossed in color. Corn-mills are often mentioned in the Bible. The. original corn-mill much resembled . the" Jmo&ern jj'druggist's pestle. Moses forbade'* corn-mills to be taken in pawn,'for that, he thought was like, taking a-.maS.'s life in' pledge. Following an Outbreak of War There Are Various Important Rules to be Obserred by Nations that Desire to Stand Out. When war is declared, every neutral power must, .observe a strict neutrality and impartiality in its attitude towards, both belligerents. It may allow their war, vessels to enter Its ports, but must limit the duration of their stay, and must regulate the nature and amount of.- the supplies taken on board. The usual rule' is- a visit of 24 hours, but ,-if a-.vess'el of the other belligerent is in, port, then one of them must not leave the port until the.other has had a'start of 24 hours ahead, though, it would seem that there.Is nothing to prevent the vessel that leaves the harbor first to await 24 hours outside the three-mile limit and attack the other "ship after she puts out to sea. The supplies that such vessel take? on board must not be more than enough to take the vessel to the nearest home port, and supplies-must no* be ^again furnished within three months. As an example of the enforcement of the foregoing rules, the procedure "when the Span- Ish-American war broke out in 1898 may be ment oned. The ultimatum of April 20, sig-.ed by President McKin- ley, demanding the withdrawal of Spain from Ci.ba, was taken by Spain as a - declaration of war, and the Spanish government pa the following day sent the American minister his passports without waiting for him to present the ultimatum. On the 22nd the Americrii ships at Key West started south to blockade Cuba. On the 23rd tie President called out 125,000 volunteers for two years' service, and on the 25th sent a message .o Congress declaring that a state of var existed between Spain and the United States since April 21. All aeutral powers took notice of this including Grcr.t Britain, which knew hat Ccmmouore Dewey, in command if the American squadron in the Pacific, had been for some weeks in the British harbor of Hong Kong, where he wns permitted to remain pending a formal declaration of war. On the same clay (April 26) the Gov- srr-or of Kong Kc.v.g notif.ed Dewey ���������ko leave the harbor, and he proceeded to Manilla Bap where he destroyed the Spanisji sjjy ojU.May; L gS������: Enjoy Life During by buying one of our screen doors and a window or two.
