For Children‘s Dresses. â€" Mothers often are perplexed to know what to (L: with the little one‘s dainty frocks, which so often are covered with grass stain or grease from bicycles or wa- tgcn-s. A simple but sure method for fremoving the same is to wash the stain twith cold water and soap before the garment is sent to the laundry or wash. as hot. water sets the stain and then it cannot be removed.

As the mercury crawls upwards from the bulb of the thermometer, so do crimes of violence increase in num- her and in horror. This is no theory. It has been proved by carefullyâ€"collected Statistics. New York is a city where the difference be- tween summer and winter tenqmralures is greater 'than in most large centres of population. In New York 28 prr cent. of the whole year's murders and murderous assaults take place in July. In D-ecci'nbcr these crimes fall to be- tween 5 and 6 per cent. The same holds good .all over the lworld. It may be remembered that in 1870 ‘was a .mEserably cold year in England. Murders, which had number- ed 199 in the year 1877, and 176 in 1878. felt to 153 in 1879. Again, 1880, an- other yrar in which the temperature was below the normal, had a record of only 157 murders. IN TIIE HEAT OF THE MOMENT. A man does not hit his wife on the head with a chopper unless he. has lost at. control of himself, and nine times out of ten the state or the atmosphere is largely responsible for his sudden madness. We all know how fearfully trying to the nerves is one of those sultry, murderous days, when the sul« ten air is stagnant, and one pants in vain :for a cool breath to case one's stifling lungs. Such weather lowers onc’s vitality. One cannot eat with any appetite. One loses all sense of pro- portir-n, and iwhat. is a trifling annoy- ance when the air is cool and crisp and full of life-giving oxygen, is in time (I great heat. on unbearable grievance. Such weather drives the lower strata {If humanity to drink, and those of epi- leptic ttndencies toitnadness, and then come fearful outbursts of crime. caus- ing readers of newspapers to shudder with incredulous horror. Dry heat is not nearly so injurious as damp. When the barometer is low and the thermometer high, lthen the policeman is at his busiest. In July last, Germany. was afflicted by a sud- den tlzeat, spell, and a few days lat-er the world was shocked by a series of ghastly and inexplicable murders of )‘t ung girls. A NIGHTMARE KNAPP. This is no new thing. In June, 1001, Moscow was visited by a sudden heat. wave, and a similar series of purpose- lcss outrages began. In one day the bodies of live Schoolgirls were picked up. All were Lotwcrn seven and fit- teen years of age. In all, nearly twen- ty children were brutally murdered. It was the opinion that the murderer was an epileptic, whose weak brain was affected by the heat. \‘Cry probably he Iwas quite irresponsible. lie was never caught. There was the series df so-callcd Knapp murders at Ilamiltou, Ohio. The ctiminal~A1frcd Knappâ€"killed his \Vlltl and four other vomcn. Each of these murders was committed on a diffrrent day in the summtr of 1002, and each of these days was one on which the tt-nu el a'u.~e ran to 80 degrees or above. After his conviction, the murderer cm- ftssed to oilier similar crimes. All these had been committed duringr very hot weather. v Suicide. like murder. become: far more frequent in great heat.

THE MOST FAMOUS MURDER CI modern tittiesâ€"the shorting of Stan- ford \\'hile by Ilarty Thawâ€"took place on the night of Monday, June 25th. last year. It, was a hot evening, after a 3hot day, and some have attributed the culmination of 'I‘Iiafiv's murderous impulse to the heat. Another celebrat- ed attempt at murderâ€"the shooting at I’icident Roosevelt, by \\'eilbrennez', in September, 1003 â€"is also believed to have been largclv due to the heat act- ing on the would-be assassins crazy brain.

A Traveller's Experience in a Russian Village. The quaint simplicity of the Russian peasant of 10-day is well illustrated by an instance recorded by a writer in the National Review. Ile was travelling through the country, and during a nun-ning's walk through a village took several photographs. In search of the picturesque, he wandered off the village street to the outbousr-s. barns and dry- ing~ovcns, about a hundred yards behind lllt' cottages. ,The place was deserted, for every one was out in the fields gathering in the harvest. The only soul we came across was a middleâ€"aged woman, carefully sweeping the threshing-flesh: a strip of bare, hardened earth in front of the dry- it'tpâ€"ovcn. 'I‘lie oven was full of Com; stroke, was issuing through the furnace doors; tttrcsllingâ€"tlails, ready for use, were piled up in a corner, and this one \\’«.lllflll was silently working. “This would nutke a pretty picture," said my friend, preparing his camera. “No! no!” interuptcu the woman, who came up to us, broom in hand. “You must not take a picture today. The place is bare and ugly, and I am just clearing up. \\'ait llll tzv-morrow, sins; then everybody will be here, and the scene will be gay and your picture beautiful, and you will have smut-thing ll“! remember." 50 we reluctantly gave way and departed. This reminded my friend of another incident. “In another part of the vil~ Inge," said he, “I \\’as ])ttlllllllg a mt. logo with some appleâ€"trees behind it. I was intent upon my work. sketching in he appleâ€"tree. andl regardless of all around me, when an old woman touched me on the slu‘tulde‘r. and said: “Stir! sir! stop! Don't do tllal!‘ “What's the mutter. my good \\'0- man?" I said, in surprise. “ ‘Oh, sir, you don't know what you are doing! lion't paint. thou: apples," “But why not?

What Four Hundred Million Dollars \\'ould Do If Spent in Other Ways. The New York Ilcrald has been calcu- lating the cost of the Philippines to the United Sinks and fixes this sum at $t00,000,000. It. vstimales 200,000,000 as the cost of war operations, $125,000.- 000 for the army and navy and civil establishments in the five years of peace, $20,000,000 paid to Spain for the islands, and the rest miscellaneous ex- penditure since the occupation. The' Herald is sorry to see all this gold poured out and makes a number of cal- culations, of which the following are a sample, as to what the country could have got for four hundred million dol- lars it spent in other ways. NAVY AND l’Oll’I‘iFICATIONS. If it. had been diverted to purposes of national defence, for instance, $400,000,- 000 would,have sufliced to build forty- five twenty thousand ton battle ships of the most powerful modern type repre- sented bytlle Delaware, and thus to have gixcn the United States the most pow- erful navy in the world. Or it would be sufficient to pay for nearly thirty such battleships and still leave a balance large enough to defray the estimated cost of the Panama (Iannl. Expanded upon coast defence fortifica- tions it would have made our Atlantic and Pacific seahoards practically im- pregnnblc to attack. It would pay the federal appropriation for the maintenâ€" ance of the militia of all the States in the Union and Ilawaii into the bargain fov~ a period of two hundred years, if that annual appropriation Should not exceed the 952,000,000 voted for 1907;- or it. would defray the Government‘s enor- mous pension fund for nearly three years. IF SPENT ON EDUCATION. Should that, vast sum of Slit-00,000,000 be devoted to less warlike- purposes it would maintain for two whole years the entire Public School system of the twelve States in the Union which appropriate the largest sums for that purpose, namely, New York, PrunSytvauia, Illi- nois, Massachusetts. Ohio, New Jersey, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, h‘tissouri and California. Devoted to pt;rposes of higher education it would richly endow a score of Ill‘stwclass uni- versities. Estimating the cost of building and furnishing a cmnfortable modern dwell< tug home tit $3.00. it would tract 50,- 000 such homes, or enough to house the population of a large City. It would more than indemnify San Francisco for all the loses sustained in the earthquake and .conflagration and would leave a balance nearly large omniin to offset all the other tire losses in the United States for the same year. \\‘O'LllD BUILD GREAT CANALS. Applied in the line of great public im- provements of an rng'uret'ing characlrr, $400,000,000 would pay for the Suez Canal, which cost. S!t.0.00l.000; the liric Canal, which cost about $50,000,000; New York‘s Cretan water system, which cost about $30,000,000; Control Park, which is put down at a cast of $6,000,000; the State Capitol at Allianjt'. which was not cheap at $25,000,000, and the New York city subway. the contract price of which was ""’,000.t;00. As tlioee items foot up inst $255,010,000. there would have been a halancu of $1l5.t)00,000 left, which hap- pens to be the estimated Cost of the Pan- ama Canal consn‘uciion. \\'OL‘I.D BUY \\'IIEAT CIIOP. Four hundred millions of dollars would almost sulllt‘e to pay for Ameri- ca's last year's wheat crop. It is a sum nearly double that collected last year in customs at. the port of New York. It Is nearly as much as the gold reserve of the liauk of Russia, is about equal to the gold production of the whole world for last year and is ten times greater than the value of all the diamonds and other precious stones imported into America in 1000. If expended in irrigatit’iu it. would make the arid lands of the West ivtcom like Eden. It would build forty structures like the, Ilrot'lklyn Bridge or fiftv tunnels like that Irmu the Battery to lhoildyn. It would foot the prospec- tive bill of Sl02,00t).000 for New York city's new water supply from the Cat- skill Mountains and the Ashokan Reser- voir, and would leave enough balance to duplicate. dollar {4:1' dullttl', all the dividends paid to date by the United States Steel Corporation. >3..- _..._.
