Dr. Perrier, hM been Investigating the question wheth er crlminils here longer ami than the more lnw-abidlns; member of the ' 'o ?y, to what ex. fit. If any, they approach In length of arm the negro snd anthro poid ape types. The reunite obtained nre Intereotinnr. because they Indicate ilie opposite to what might hare been expected. Dr. Perrler premise 'hat In Europe a normally propor tioned man can stretch with arms ex tended about two and one-half Inches ir.o.-e than his height Out of 854 prisoners at the Nlmea Prison 'io were examined, he found 11 per c it could not stretch their own hetKi . I. e., had arms much shorter than usual; In 8 per cent the measurement! were the same, and In 86 per cent, the arm stretch exceeded tho height by from one to two Inches, or, In other words, their arms were aho slightly shorter than the normal. Distinguishing next between the dif ferent classes of crime some 'cuiioue results are noted. For Instance, vag rants who were put to the test were foi nd to have very short arms. Mur derers had arms of slightly short or nnriral length. Those convicted of theft and "moral" crimes approached more nearly to the normal standard, while coiners, on the contrary, were mostly remarkable for very short arms, . . Other results obtained are equally entertaining, especially the fact which the learned Investigator has discov ered, that married criminals have rore normal proportions than the sin gle rogue. It suggests possibly that i he single man Is a born criminal, while the married man has been forced Into crime through circum stances, of which his marriage may Lo ono. London Globe. To Make a Sleeping Bag. Take a 7 foot square of light can vt s. a 6 foot 8 Inches square of heavy mockinaw, and turn in edge of canvas all around about an inch and fasten It with waterproof cement About a fcot from the edges, sides and bottom, fasten some large buttons opposite eoch other on both sides of canvas, sowing them on with same thread; this to prevent their tearing out Ar Hinge them about 4 Inches apart Net arrange a series of buttonholes to come opposite the buttons, and at about 2 Inches from edge of opposite Bldo of oanvas. Make the macklmiw the same way but without the overli.p, and the buttons and holes can bo spneed further apart. If desired the top can be arranged the same way as the sides and bottom. Place these one Inside the other and your sleeping bag Is complete, Is better and costs far less than those usually sold, and has the advantage of being easily opened up for ventilation. The reason foi overlapping Is to exclude draughts, rain or snow. F. E. Richmond. 350 Years of Labor. 'A shingle Arm of cutlery manufac turers at Sheffield, England, has In its employ six workmen who have 'jeen with the firm continuously for s Otal of 350 years.

In London, perhaps more than else where, may be seen evidence of tho habit Bo strong la the liking for the weed among the gentler sax there that English Jeweler aid tobaccon ists employ great Ingenuity in the matter of getting up odd concerts In smoking paraphernalia. Nor are our own shop behind the times. In the larger American cities nisdame or mUs will find that she may make ber selection of cigarette cases and holders from a large and artistic assortment Naturally, women run to the fasti dious In smoking articles as well as others. Most of the objects displayed for her choice are of gold with rich designs working upon them, and a great number are set with beautiful and costly stones. Boms of them cost a pretty round sum. But then, "hub by" pays the bill; so why bother about that? Woman Is very particular In the choice of her cigarette case. Of course. It must be small In slie and so made as to conceal Its real purpose. For meat Bhe not carry It round with her In public, and would It not be perfect ly shocking for every one to know her as a victim of the habit? A very novel and dainty case meas ures about 2x3 Inches, and Is made In the chatelaine style, with a chain and linger ling attachment It lsnot a half Inch thick.- It really consists of two cases, one Inside of the other. When the fair smoker feels the need of quieting her nerves, she pulls the Inner case out and displays tea dainty little cigarettes held In place by a spring. I'fon the outer case Is worked a very elaborate and delicate design, with a blank space In the center for a monogram. Gold-tipped cigarettes seem to be the most popular.- Particular women have them made by special order, with tbelr monogram or coat-of-arms stamped In gold. One woman orders about 1,000 every month or so, to be consumed when her friends drop In to tes of an afternoon. A few women are' satisfied with nothing but ' a real man's smoke. which J of course, must be carried In the bulky man's case. , This, however, may easily be concealed la tho hand bag. i III 4 IW4HOIH IF YOU WOULD ACQUIRK POISE.

"We will live together In a alee little suite of rooms," they aid. "Why should we need a man to make our lives complete?" "Shall you bo called 'old Maids'?" a friend asked them. They Indignantly re plied: "Why, no, we will be bache lor girls." Bo they both entered college with the Intention of teaching school some day. They never tired of their favor It subject of conversation, and many were the plan and projects they dls- eed. n Imagination the four dnlnty rooms they were to occupy to gether In the future were furnished over and over again, and their spare moment were spent In working on ofa cushion and other pretty trifles dear to a woman's heart The summer came and the girls were to part for three months, nivl with their arms about each other t.icy rejoiced that In one short year they would be free to begin a life logo'.' er. Now dont you go and get engaged." said Isabella as they bade each othei good-by, and then they both laughed aa If It were a huge joke. Isabella went to Bar Harbor with. her mother, and Catherine spent bci vacation in a little village in Vermont For awhile the glrlB wrote freauen'- ly and fully to each other, but soou Catherine noticed her friend's letter? were short and unsatisfactory. "I suppose Isabelle Is In the whirl of sr clety. As she doesn't write to in. about how she spends ber time I shuii not tell ber of anything that I am dc Ing," sighed Catherine, as though t excuse herself for her hastily written notes. The summer wore Itself away an1 autumn came, and the girls returre.! to college and greeted each oth; warmly but with constraint. "Win Catherine, how well you look! Pi.' you have a good time?" inquired lss belle. "I enjoyed myoolf very much.' was the answer, In rather a wcii voice. "And you, de:ir?" Isabel! with a rosy face and downcast eye assured her friend that her eanime had been a very pleasant one. No further allusion to the past c to the life of the future was made b either, and they soon settled dov Into the monotonous round of sober duties. Although roommates s i! they avoided each other to such a d. gree that It was remarked v the o'.l er students, and many we.e the cn; Jectures put forth on the subject. 'She knows It! Oh, dear!

One evening In October the tw girls, separated by the entire len'.i of the room, were preparing their let sons for the following day.

Cati erlne, hurriedly thrusting a mnc! worn letter Into ber pocket, earnest: besought the weeping girl to tell hi the causa of this sudden outburi Thus urged, Isabelle began in lo pleading tones: "Can you ever to give me? I have broken my vows t you all those lovely things we mu" oh, dear; you needn't finish tit: pillow.

"Well, while at the shore this sui mer I met a young man a lawyer he Is Just lovely, so I liked him er he liked me. At first, Cathy, I on' considered him aa a brother, I real! did, and I have broken my vow t you. Oh', dear! "He Is so kind an good that I don't believe you co il hare helped liking him If you kne'. him as well as I do.
