"This li one of the worst crimes a man can commit ... By threats and letters you have madu 's life a hell upon earth,"—Mr. Justice Lawrence, at the Old Bailey, London, England. One ol the most sensational black. Dialling cases of recent years came to an end a few days ugo, when Mr. Justice Lawrence, In punning sentence, made thfi remarks quoted. "The great pity of it in," said a well- known London solicitor, who huu pri.lmbly dealt with more cases of blackmail than any other member cf the legal profeision, to a newspaper mun, "that for every one of theso blackmailing scoundrels who nre brought to book, a hundred escape scot free. These human parasite* are of all elusssi- They feed upon the poor as well as the rich, and it Is extremely difficult at time* tn know how to deal with them, Whyr He- cause tha victims an* afraid to go to law. Men and women come to un* and lell me that such nnd such a Eorson la extorting money from them y threaling to expose nome scandal connected with their lives. Tlm extortion must be stopped, they suy, but tt must be done nuiotly, other* wltt there Is a possibility of suelal ruin for them. "Thus they tic my hands; and if I cannot settle the matter amicably with the blackmailer, I have o turn tha tables on lum or her hy putting private detcctiven ou the r track, tin.ling out all there is to he discovered al-out them, and endnnvoring to make things so warm for them generally that they are glad to come to terms." "But surely ii in better to face the possibility nf social ruin und exposure than to he hounded down and fleeced by these despicable rogues!" "Not always. The victim may be a married man or womnn, with growing children just mul; tig their way ln the world, anil whose lives would probably ho ruined hy the exposure. The life happiness of a woman muy depend on hiding some secret ein from her lover or husband, or vice versa. The blackmailer knows this, and knows that he can bleed his victim to the uttermost without danger of being sent to prison." And here the solic tor mentioned a ease which he described as one of the saddest on record. A young woman, moving in very good circles, met a scoundrel at a seaside resort when she was quite a girl, and he persuaded her into a secret marriage. He treated her abominably for a few weeks and then disappeared. For years the woman heard nothing of her husband. She thought he must be dead, and, meeting a man who really loved her, married him without disclosing her previous marriage. ■Suddenly husband No. 1 turned up, and proceeded to blackmail the tin- Im inn-it.- wonifii, under tl... threat of disclosing her previous marriage and having her arrested for bigamy. For a year or two she kept him quiet with all the money ahe could get; but it was no good. He hounded her down until at last, in despair, she committed suicide. Afterwards he* hut-band got nn inkling of what had happened, commltcd my informant, and thus the whole story came to light. "It sounds like the plot of a mod* eru novel," snid the solicitor, "but I can assure you that it is an authentic case." It ia an astounding but nevertheless true fact that there is a restaurant in the West-end of London which is known to be the rendezvous of these blnckinailera. Here they meet to discuss their villainous plans during the day, and In the evening they mix among the audiences at the music halls, th.' ut res, hotels, and restaurants, looking for likely victims. They are well-dressed, plausible scoundrels, who quickly worm their way into the confidence of any per. son who gets into conversation with them. As a matter of fact, at the beginning of last year, Scotland Yard was in possession of certain Information which left little doubt that a notorious gang of blackmailers, comprising no fewer than a couple of hundred men and women of all stations ot life, was at work in the City and West-end and victimizing many people of high social standing. In club-land, on the racecourse, and at all the resorts of rank and fashion, the members of this gang were to be seen. Perhaps the most dastardly trick played by these blackmailers Is that of using one of the prettiest members of the gang as a decoy, getting a wealthy and prominent man into an entanglement with her, and then making him the petitioner fn a threatened divorce case, the girl, of course, being married to one of the member- of the blackmailing gang. It la estimated that hy this trick blackmailers have netted, from various victims, no less than 11,000,000. They know that their victim, rather than face divorce proceedings, which would result in social ruin, is willing to pay practically any price to keep the matter quiet. The extent to which blackmailing Is enrried on may he gauged from the enormous number of advertisements of private detectives published hi thc newspapers, in which they emphasize that they make a speciality of blackmailing cases.—London Tit- Bits.

Qucbco is one of thu oldest cities in America. It is noted (or its ancient institutions and h ouu of tho most interesting cities for tourists on thu continent. A recent writer say3: Tho ancient seminary uud divinity school, founded in lOftl, still is full of students training for the Roman Catholic priesthood; the Laval University, which is the largest and most impnruitit ediiciiiiuiiiil institution iu Cuuadu, is being rebuilt und the books and historical manuscripts, which are the most interesting purl of it, aru packed away wilh the pictures, widen probably aru the most important iu Canada. Thu library hus more than luti.ootj volumes, including thu most complete collection in existence of works relating to the exploration and early acttletnunt of the Dominion. lt was customary lur both military and ecclcsiastlcul explorers to deposit their journals und other manuscripts wilh the university, which was founded by Mgr. de Laval, thu lir.-l Koinan Catholic bishop of Canada, and they ure now the source of material as well as inspiration for historians. A publishing house uf Cleveland has printed translations of much ol the most important historical material. Tim university Is composed of lour schools— art, luw,. medicine and theology. There ure 'Mi pro lessors uud an average of about 4(H) BtudoutS, The old part of the city uu the bluff Is inclosed within a wall built ut the siime time as tbe citadel, ami the best Ii reserved of uny ancient city wall that ever have seen, tjcntimi-nt here is expensive also. As the sergeant in llm citadel suid; "It costs a lot of money to keep it up. but it's a heap ol satisfaction." l)eyond the walls is the Provincial Parliament Building, a large and stalely building ol the conventional French school, It contains the legislative chamber, the ottlcea of the governor ami his Cabinet, the court rooms and the state library, anil is surrounded hy an attractive und well kept garden. Beyond the Parliament Building Is the best residence portion of the city, with many comfortable mansions, schools ami nunncrloa, More than 2.0IHI young women fr»m Canada aud the United Slates are being educated in these institutions, The ancient gates of the wall have been preserved, aud where it has been neueaary uew ones uf monumental proportions have been erected by the municipality. Within the walls, near the principal hotel, is a plain, old-fashioned building that was occupied for several years by the Duke of Kent, father of Queen Victoria, when he was in command of the garrison here, and one ol the new gates cut through tiie walls wai named after him. His daughter, her Majesty, the late Quuen, contributed liberally toward the cost of construction, and his granddaughter, the Princess Louise, wife of the Marquis of Lome, not unly laid the foundation stone, but revised tlic architectural plans while her husbuud was Governor-General of Canada. No city in America has so many nunneries and monasteries us Quebec, and most of them are either schools or homes (or the poor and aged. One of the benevolent institutions is unique. It is kept hy the Sisters of Providence, who receive the children of widows aud feed and teach them for two cents a duy. lt is a day nursery also, where working women can leave their babies to be cared for by sweet-faced nuns while they are earning their living. The,number of churches and the size ot them is surprising. Nearly all are of the Roman ChOioHc faith. A cathedral of the Church of England occupies a conspicuous place iu the centre of the city und is interesting because a number of buttle flags are hung in the chancel, over the pulpit and the altar, und in the vestry is a beautiful communion service presented by the late King Edwaru. The sexton will tell you that it cost 110,000. One of the oldest churches In America is the French cathedral or basilica of Quebec, which dates back to 1047. It is one of the most imposing structures iu Canada. It contains several important pictures, including a picture of the crucifixion painted by Van Dyck in 1630, which, with several other examples ol the old musters, was looted from the churches in Paris by the revolutionists of 1793 and pur* chased by Abbe Dcb Jar-dins, of Quebec, who happened to be in the French capital at that time. The vertments are superb and the collection of sacred relics is tiie largest ln North America. They are kept In two large vaults in thc sacristy Mid include, it Is said, skulls or bones of more than 40 saiuts, beside pieces of the true cro-*s and crown of thorns, tha cradle of the child Jesus, a piece ol rope witli which the Saviour wai flogged and a fragment of the veil of the holy mother whieh shows a stain of the blood of her beloved ion which fell upon it as she kneeled hefore the cross.

His voice was I susceptible of great changes; It could ihe tender and sweet, it could be | rich and powerful, While he actej l the other performers at a little dis- i tance went on with their work undisturbed by the trac.dian or he by them. Only the one-legged man wh * j had a trained dog and the dwarf ! tumbler who happened to be nearest paused in their labors and gave poor Bjdney Carton the tribute of a tear. ' As the slow twilight faded nut nnd ; th,- slower stream of hronte dribbled ' into thetr unwashed palms the per ; formers gradually worked their way | . out of the Place in the direction ol 1 ! Enn;sley Gardens. The pavement | | Irving had passed the hat and dis- j appeared; the tumbler, the ventriloquist, the comic singer had vnn'shed, I and only the violinist with four j strings still lingered, rca ly to play I the "Ave" over again for the smallest j encouragement. Itut even he made haste to dive into the outer shadows j when, with a show of cuparisoned i ateed, mysterious covered cart and | loud staccato note from a hidden . piano, entered the Masked Musicians, i prepared to give their concert. I It was tny first sight of this emln- j ently British institution, and I watt* i ed with somelhng like a thrill to see j what make their perennial fasclna- I tion. The black-palled enrt halted, the piano gave out a gentle tinkle, j steps were lowered and two men and a woman modishly dressed like din- | ner guests and wearing velvet masks descended and flood n front of the cart. Their first selection, given in I the conventional Concert style, is from an ancient florid opera; then the men step back and lean negligently on the wheels of the cart while the. prima donna shrills the aria of "Sunturla." A good baritone voica follows with sent intent al song of the day, h's mate "obliges" with a shrieking tenor, th re is a final trio, and the Concert is uver save for the penny catching. Baritone, a slim, elegant llgur * in n perfectly fltt-r-d tlress suit, holds out his -h rung silk hat as if conferring a favor; the uther masks stand in attitudes <>f ensy unconcern, not even ffhlsp ring to each nther-nll is Carried out with thi m>.st polished decorum) it is like a jam-, the carrying out of a w»g»r.

A broken alpenstock bearing the carved name "Dr. J. Bean, Baltimore." baa, the London Chronicle Buys. Just been found by a Cbamuulx guide In tbe Ice of the (Jlucler des Bossons. which "flows" down direct from the summit of Mont Blnnc lo the valley of Chumonlx. The Iind recalls the most terrible accident In Alpine bis tory, when eleven climbers perlshM on tbe summit uf the (Jrent White mountain In violent aoowatorms wblcb lasted a week. In September. 1H.O. the Rev. G. MeCurklndale uf tjlnsgow ■nd two Americans, Dr. J. Beau of Baltimore and Mr. ttandall, both elderly men with little experience of tbe Alps, set out from Chnmonlx witb eight guides nnd wifely reached tbe summit In doubtful weather. Hardly bad tbe descent commenced when tbe snowstorm st cried, nnd not one of tbe eleven climbers was seen agalu alive. A atrong force of guides aome days later found tbe bodies of Ave victims. Including tbe clergyman and It Bean, but the other six were never found, having moat probably fallen Into crevasses. It Is uow thought, owing to the discovery of tbe broken alpenstock, tbut tbe bodies of tbe six climbers, who bave been burled In their tomb of Ice for the last forty- one years, bave reached tbe end of tbe glacier, whlcb travels at tbe rate of about r-00 feet a year, and are not far from the surface of tbe Ice at tbe Up of the Cbamoulx valley. — Bt -lames* Gazette.

It Is suggested tbat when ones tbe desired color scheme hns been decided upon the best method of per- pelustlng tbe standards#nnd rendering tbem available for comparison everywhere would be by means of colored glasues with which a tintometer could be constructed A tentative Instrument of tbls kind, based on an arbitrary color scheme, has been mnde.
