DEALING WITH THE CRIMINAL.
Grave
Problem That Has
Before Society.
Ever
It Is a novel idea that any man over
30 years of age who commits a crime
may be set down, as a rule, to be mor
ally bad. with no hopes of improve
ment Morality, according to Dr.
Belfield, who advances the theory,
is the arrest of the instincts by the
intellect, says the Chicago Journal.
A child is a savage. If he continues
to improve slowly he has a chance
to outgrow his tendencies before he
is 30. If he does not do so, then he
is hopeless, and Dr. Belfield thinks
he should either be imprisoned for
life or else put out of the world alto
gether. Civilization growing more and more'
averse to capital punishment, will
never consent to the cemetery outlet
thus suggested. But permanent seg
regation in a penal colony would be
equally effective. We do not go so
far as Dr. Belfield as to believe that a
man over 30 who commits a crime
is therefore necessarily a moral idiot.
One experience of punishment has
been enough for many men past that
age.
But when a man Is undeterred by
punishment and goes on committing
one crime after another, then we
think society owes it to itself to take
r.tern measures. Such a man should
be adjudged a habitual, and irre
rlaimable criminal and removed from
society. But. on the other hand, hon
est men should not be burdened with
the cost of supporting him. He should
be forced to earn his own living.
BECAME THE SLAVE OF HABIT.
Former Prison Warden Could Never
Forget Early Training.
A Boston psychologist was recently
reminded of the story of the Russian
jailer who', changing his occupation,
found the chief interest of his leis
ure moments in catching birds, put
ting them in cages, and selling them
to the highest bidder.
' The scientist having to attend a se
ries of lectures in a large public hall
struck up acquaintance with the jan
itor of the building, and soon noted
in him a suggestive' bent of mind.
The man -seemed fond of counting the
people, and would occasionally report
the exact number present. "We have
115 here to-night," he would say, 'or
"Just 201 all told." or, when the hall
was crowded: "I make it 370." There
was a problem in all this, but it took
some time for the psychologist to
solve it.
A bit of friendly, familiar talk, con
tinually renewed, did the business,
for it brought out the fact that the
janitor had spent many of the pre
vious years of his life as warden in
an eastern prison. With rifle on
shoulder, from some inclosing wall,
the man had counted his convicts un
til the habit became ingrained. In
the recesses of his brain the lecture
hall took the' shape of a jail yard
aad the audiences were his prisoners.
He- counted because he wished to
kaoV if all were there.
Nitrates from Air.
If the claim of Norwegian manu
facturers can be 'Substantiated, a
process has been invented for procur
ing nitrate from the air, or rather for
obtaining the nitrogen for conversion,
into nitrate which is declared to be
more sure, efficient, reliable and cheap
than the employment of bacteria in
the soil for the same purpose. Manu
facturing establishments have already
been built and are in operation in Nor
way, which promise to produce nitrate
in such quantities and at, such prices
as to materially affect the market.
-What la that for?" asked the Little
Lady.
It waa a ten-dollra bill, framed aad
glased, hanging on the wall of the of
fice. "In memory of am honest debtor,"
replied the Discontented Mas.
"Are they so rare, then?' she
asked.
vVery. Aad then the circamstaacea
of that payment were uausual. We
had a tenant a little chorus ghrL who
Uved la a little room la oae of our
buildings. She was oat of work. Had
been ilL Hard ap and behind with
her reat. Lord only knows how she
lived. Mostly oa pickles, tea and
breakfast food cooked over a gas jet.
Poor little hallroom girL Bat she was
honest, and whenever she earned
anything she paid a dollar or two oa
her rent and struggled along, eking
out her pennies with all the dodges
girls know, washing handkerchiefs
and sticking them oa the window
paaes lastead of ironing, doing up lace
collars by rolling them round a curl
ing iron and "
"It sems to me," said the Little
Lady, "that you know too atuch "
"I beg your pardon?"
"Nothing. Go on."
"At last she got an engagement to
go on the. road, and she was as happy
as the- queen of Tarsacon. She owed
us $10 and, some little scores to other
people, and before she left she called
on each one and ttold them she would
pay as soon as she received her sal
ary. "I told her 'All right; no harry.' and
so she passed oa after the fashion of
tenants.
"It was December M of that year,
in the afternoon, and I was alone and
I working on some accounts, when I
felt a sort of cold draft, and I raised
my head to see who was coming in,
thinking the door had been opened,
and bescide my desk stood Miss Patsy
Vane. She had come in so softly that
I hadn't heard her.
" 'Why. how are your I said. 'When
did you get back? Have yoa left the
company.'
"She sat down before answering.
'The show has closed. she said. 'I
just got back and want to pay my
debt.' And she opened her little pock
etbook and took out a tea-dollar bill
and handed it to me. As I took It I
noticed that she had a big red mark
across her fingers, and as I wrote a
receipt I asked. 'What's the matter
with yoar hand?
" 'I burnt it.' said she.
"I gave her the receipt and she fold
ed it and put it in her pocketbook and
stood ap. 'Thank you so much for
waiting,' she said, 'yoa have been aw
fully kind to me. Good-by.' She hesi
tated a moment and then extended
her hand and I took it Her fingers
were very cold.
"Good-by I said, and I wnlked to
the door with her, opened it for her.
and so she went away. In a short
time some of the other fellows came
In. and I laid aside my accounts and
went out. and as I got out in the street
the newsboys were barking about the
Iroqaois theater fire. 'Good luck that
Patsy got out before I thought
Why. she aaid the show had closed r
and I bought a paper and saw that the
Bluebeard company was playing there
at the time of the fire.
"Still, I thought she had left the
company until In next day's papers I
saw that among the lost was Patsy
Vane, and then I knew that in broad
day I had sen and talked with her
spirit, just released. I might have
thought I had dozed and dreamed, bat
In the cash drawer of the safe was
the tea-dollar bill, just like any other
Mil. except that one end was scorched.
"When the members of the com
pany straggled back to New York I
saw Patsy's chum. 'Oh, she said,
.'Poor, poor Patsy. Sse was so glad to
get to work and saved to pay what
she owed in New York, and that after
noon she told me she had all paid but
ten dollars rent, and she had just got
that aad would sent It next day. When
the Ire came we started out together,
and she would have got out, only she
said: "I forgot my pocket book," aad
she ran back for It, and never got
out
"So I kept that bill aad had It
framed as a souvenir of a remarkable
experience."
"Do you expect me to believe that?"
asked the Little Lady.
"No," coolly said the Discontented
Man, "but just the same it's true, and
she paid it to me sitting right in that
chair vou're sitting lnnow."
The Little Lady got up hastily aad
moved to another chair.
"I did not think you were the kind
of maa to have such fancies," she
said. . -
"I didn't think so myself." said the
Discontented Maa, "hut it seems that
to me it was appointed." ..

Taste.
Every man's taste is valid for him
self; none may presume to Instruct an
other. The taste of a navvy who strolls
into a picture gallery is quite as au
thoritative, or, better, quite as nuga
tory, as that of its trained curator.
Accordingly, the task of a museum is
to grow systematically In the sunshine
of science, avoiding the moonshine of
esthetic uncertainties. Evidently, if
this objection is based on any truth
it is decisive. But it Is based not on
truth at all, but upon a strangely mor
bid timidity in the academic tempera
ment. It is a typical idol of the sci
entific cave. Unquestionably such im
potence of taste frequently exists in
specialists. Charles Darwin has re
corded the gradual, withering of his
esthetic life. It has remained for bur
times to exalt this incapacity, this
malady of the soul, into a high scien
tific virtue. Atlantic Monthly.
