No More "Ticket-of-Leave" Men.
The old ticket-of-leave system the
staple of many an honest melodrama
after Charles Peace; has at last gone
altogether. Henceforth the discharged
convict really anxious to make a clean
etart will not be brought into direct
contact with the police. Up to now
the convict has been supervised by the
police on the one hand and cared for
by various philanthropic societies on
the other, and there has been r.o co
operation between the police and the
societies. The new scheme Is to com
bine into a central body the societies
which have hitherto aided discharged
prisoners and to give this body author
ity to deal with the convicts and funds
to carry on the work. This body will
be responsible for the convicts whose
interests it serves, and Uie police will
have no more dealings with discharged
prisoners so long as they keep from
further crime. From the London Sat
urday Review.
Resents the Criticism.
Mrs. Henry Cabot Lodge, in com
mentlng upon the statement of Ladj
Barah Wilson that American womer
do not take an interest in politics
aid that she had seen only the crust
of society while visiting here, anc
that she could not judge America!

IS SECRET OF EVERGLADES
Once a Volcano Top, the Place Is
Now Remarkable for Its
Fertility.
One cf the strange facts about the
Everglades region of Florida is that it
Is really a decayed mountain top. The
crest is formed of massive limestone,
usually covered by a mantle of sand.
In this formation are numberless pot
ho'ts, which vary in size from a few
ftv: to thousands of acres; also count
ies lakes of fresh water, springs and
frcoi.ent subterranean streams and
pools.
A few miles north, of Cape Sable is
nn outcrop of limestone which projects
to Lake Okeechobee. In this outcrop
is an extensive shallow basin extend
ing ICO miles north and south and
about 70 miles east and west, while
the altitude of its rim Is 12 feet above
mean level low tide in Biscayne bay
and a little less above the Gulf of Mex
ico As a result of the weather and flow
ing water the rim has been worn into
fantastic shapes. The depth of the
basin varies from one foot at the rim
to twelve feet In places, but generally
the rock floor Is from a depth of one
to .-ix feet. And there Is the secret
of the fertility of fie Everglades.
Above the entire rock floor rises a lay
er of muck, formed of an alluvial de
posit and of decayed vegetable matter.
This deposit varies from a few inches
to several feet in thickness. The wa
ter covering this deposit comes from
springs ihat in turn have their source
in the lake. D. A. Willcy. in Cassier's

PASSING OF TUATARA LIZARD
Is One of Most Ancient Forms of Ani
mal Life Now Found on
Earth.
The tuatara lizard, found in New
Zealand, is one of the most ancient
forms of animal life now found on
earth. Originally this lizard pos
sessed four eyes, but In the course of
the ages ithas lost one pair and must
now get along with two. The tuatara
lay eggs which are remarkable in that
they require 14 months to hatch, the
embryo passing the winter In a state
of hibernation.
These small survivors of past ages
are found only in a few localities and
are becoming very scarce, collectors
from every part of the world being
continually on their trail. They are
about two feet in length, and, in com
mon with other lizards, have the for
tunate characteristic of being able to
replace portions of their limbs or
tails which have been destroyed. It is
asserted that one of these lizards,
owned by a naturalist, had the mis
fortune some time ago to lose an eye
and that a complete new eye, perfect
In every way, has grown in the place
of the old one.
An Officer's Ready Wit,
An ancestor of Tolstoy's, an army
officer, was an excellent mimic. One
day he was mimicking the Emperor
Paul to a group of his friends when
Paul himself entered and for some mo
ments looked von unpercelved at the
antics of the young man. Tolstoy
finally turned and beholding the em
peror he bowed his head and was si
lent. "Go on, sir," said Paul. "Con
tinue your performance."
The young man hesitated a moment
and then folding his arms and repro
ducing every gesture and intonation of
his sovereign he said: 'Tolstoy, you
deserve to be degraded, but I remem
ber the thoughtlessness of youth, and
you are pardoned." The czar smiled
slightly at this speech."Well, be it so,"
he said.

"Did you ever notice," inquired the
woman who has just moved to tho
country, "that when you hear a roos
ter crow early In the morning It al
ways sounds a long way off? I used
to observe that when I took my vaca
tions in the country. Even when stay
ing at a place that had a barnyard
full of chickens, I never heard a roos
ter crow close by. It always had a
distant sound, sort of mystic and al
most poetic in the early aawn. Now
I am living in the country I notice
the same shrill, small note, far away
always far away although" there are
lots of chickens in the yard next door
and across the street, too. I'm sure
there's some arrangement between
the chanticlers about this, only we

Stamping excitedly on the platform,
she gnashed her teeth in a struggle
to keep back the tears. Finally she
buttonholed the first person who
would listen to her tale of woe.
"What's all this here talk of educat

she screeched, indignantly. "What we
need In this here country is more

TOM WELDON WAS TOO MEAN
He Was Not the Kind of Poor Man
Andrew Carnegie Advised
Girls to Marry.
Andrew Carnegie recently advised
some New York girls to marry poor
men. "I would rather bo born poor
than a millionaire," he said, "and I
have had experience of both estates."
At a dinner Mr. Carnegie, elabora
ting the above, said:
"I suppose these girls will all take
my advice about marrying poor men.
Poor men are so much easier to find
than rich ones. But that is no hard
ship. "So many people think that a poor
young couple, to get on, must practice
the niggardly meanness of Tom Wel
don. 'Tom Weldon, on a journey from Al
toona to Philadelphia, got into a game
of cards with aj young man. Tho
young man lost steadily. Finally, as
Philadelphia drew near, he was out a
total of $61.
"The young man had a hard hunt to
produce all this money. From one
pocket he took two $20 bills, from an
other two fives, from his waistcoat a
$10 goldpiece and a silver dollar, and
from his trousers a half-dollar, a quar
ter, two dimes and four pennies. Tho
final penny he couldn't find, search
where he would.

when I was playing in Pittsburg, my

locomotive works, and here is how
she described it when she got home.
'You pour she said, 'a lot of sand
into a lot of boxes, and you throw old
stove lids and things into a furnace,
and then you empty the and every

"Lincoln," said Mr. Hapgood, "was

BABY THEN TOOK HER NAP
Ooaa Thtnfa to Unaryakable Dolt
That Invarjtar Had fellavad to
Batlir-powible.
A .New Jraeyt"nan and his wife
(went on a little vacation trip with
some friends in .an automobile last
week. They left the baby at home
with the maternal grandmother and
the baby's uncle. All the while the
parents were away the baby was up
permost In their thoughts. In one of
the towns they passed through they
saw a sign in a shop window adver
tising an "unbreakable" doll. They
stopped the machine and hurried in to
get one for the baby. It was just
what they had been looking for, and it
seemed a providential occasion to fill
a long-felt want.
When they got .home they gave the
unbreakable doll to tho baby. The
baby Is a little maiden not yet two
years old, but already has a fondness
for dolls. She has also a desire to
destroy them that some of the friends
of the family call abnormal. She has
more ways of breaking up her dolls'
than have ever been noticed before:
Therefore what would happen to the
unbreakable toy was a matter that
was watched with considerable inter
est not only by her Immediate family
but by those In the neighborhood who
were informed of the experiment.
The baby did not have the doll in
her arms more than two minutes be
fore she tried her strength. At the
first attempt to pull it apart she was
unsuccessful, and appeared to bo puz
zled. After swinging her right arm to
and fro and seeming to do a little
shadow boxing, just to seo if she was
in good condition or whether the trou
ble was with the doll, she tackled It
again. This timo she did better, and
the doll retired from tho encounter
with a fractured skull. This seemed
to encourage tho baby, and she hurl
ed the doll with excellent air and all
her force against the marble fireplace.
Tho doll's neck was broken as the re
sult In half an hour, as the result of
the baby's efforts, the unbreakablo
doll was reduced to pieces fit only
for tho scrap heap. Then the child
lay down for her afternoon nap and
went to sleep with a seraphic smilo
on her face. She had achieved what
tho Inventor of tho unbreakable doll
had believed to be impossible. She
did not know this, but sho was well
satisfied with the result.

he wins most of his battles by a knock

a schoolboy, blonde, smooth-faced,

in appearance. The other night the
coppers raided the street on which he
lives and caught "K. O." and a dozen
other youthful malefactors. They had
been playing football In the open
street They were taken to Night
Court.
"C'n I give a name that ain't me
own?" asked "K. O." of tho court.
The magistrate wanted to know
what was up, of course, and expressed
astonishment when he was told that
tho quiet, pleasant looking little chap
was the fighter who is working his
way toward the top of the pugilistic
tree.
"And why do you want to keep your
name a secret?" asked he of young
Brown.
"Because." said the fighter, "ir mo
