The present Homo St:oratory, Mr. Aogoith,has instituted a reform in this' matter, and the latest report as to the 'statistics of oriole in England and Wales is a model dooumenb of its kind, the foots having boon compiled with Bare, and then' •subjected to eoientifio revision and expos'.' tion at the hands of .expert etatietioians: The moult le some curlew surprises with reference .to 'tho suppooed relations of crime to drunkenness, to pauperism, and to turban conditions of life. Mr. Troup, the editor of the report issued by the Home Office, 'oaya in his introduotion that, so far as England and Wales are concerned, he is unable to • detect any cohaeetion between the vari- ations of drunkenness and .crime. on the •ooutrary, Pembrokeshire, which is on the black list of oonvictionsfor drunkenness, is in almost every other respect couepic- noue among exemplary counties, crimes. against property being rare, while grimes of violence, or against morals are still rarer. .Letue glance at another point. z The Socialists tell no that, could we extir• "pate poverty, we should soon see orime =die out. Mr. Troup does not find iu hie atatiatics-any confirmation of this tenet. Tho facts obtained do undoubtedly show "that the marriage rate Varies inversely with pouporiem, but no casual or eympa thebic relation can be traded between the "fiuotuations of pauperism and crime. If the data, indeed, tend, to 'establish any- thing, it is the paradox that some crimes intorno in years of prosperity. Another preconceived idea, namely, that ;great cities are nests of vice, will be shaken by these etatietice. Mr. Troup finds that the counties where offences against morals prevail most as a in the agricultural districts Some traditional notions, also, in regard to the geographical distribution 01 crime turn out to be erroneous. Taffy, the Welshman, for example, instead of being a thief, as the nursery rhyme asserts, proves upon investigation to be a pattern of honesty. From this point of view, Cornishmen, who are brothers of Welshmen, occupy the very highest plane. In Cornwall the proportion of crimes against property to population is only 48 per 100,000. We note; finally, that, as regards the relation of crime to .seasons of the year, Mr. Troup'e conclusion confirm the results arrived at byetatieti clans in other .European countries, viz. that all offences against the person are most common in summer, while those against property are most rife in the cold weather. The newspaper reporter, a Frenchman, has at last invaded Timbuetoo, and allmys- tery has departed from the once forbidden town. The reporter wae not compelled to stain his skits, assume a turban and a Bowing robe, talk Arabia, and engage in public devotions after carefully ascertain- ing the compass bearings of Mecca. No toilsome desert pilgrimage nor dangerous march among savage tribes was the price he had to pay to reach the goal. He was in feet a passenger ou a Niger steamboat, and entered Timbuetoo in a waggon withno weapon except to well•eharpened lead pen. oil. In place of an ammunition ohest he 'carried a package of note books, and hie ogle purpose was to write up the town for the edification of those Parieian readers who haven't time to visit the new resort. With exoellentdisorimination the report. er dubs Thnbuotoo the Queen of the Sands. No wonder he was impressed with the pre- vailing element. A small part of the Sahara desert wae constantly sifting under hie collar, sweeping up against the walls of the town and invading its squares and streets. The tope of sand dunce aro the best points of vantage from which to get a general view. The Niger does its hest to rmake a w.ttering place of Timbuotoo, for at the flood period its waters lave the south - 3i ern edge of the town and stagnate in 'I mambo that are a noisesome feature of the environs. But the desert declines to be suppressed. It is vary much in evidence even in the mosques_ 4 `y " Lying like a sphinx at the gate of the desert;" writes the reporter, " Timbuetoo realizes: all that her great reputation prom toe," We era compelled to say that the effect of this fine sentence is somewhat impaired by the neodleps proximity of the announcement thatl t sere. is no poultry in the town, which is in a chronic state of egg famine; that blip building materials aro It wholly oonfined to mud and straw with a emall admixture of wood ; and that the ss population tomato wholly ofnegroea, which. ie a blight 'Mobilo due .to the reporter's undiscriminating study of, complexions, ' The world bee gone hard with Timbuotoo 5;006 the wild Tuorege began to vary the monotony of their aotort wanderings by seeing life iu'the big town, This is the whole explanation of the fact that the re.

They were discovered in Union park, and a committee fell upon them and divested themof their objection- able and superfluous drapery. 40oording to the advioee furnished by the two leading commercial agenoiee in the United States, business in the chief indue- trial centres aoroes the line is altogether in a more flourishing and satfefaotory con- dition than has been the case for a long time. Trade ie said to be approaching the activity of 1892, and in some directions the advance is so rapid as almost to assume the pro- portions of a boom. For June the bank clearings are. 20 pet cent. beyond those for June last year. One important factor in the situation is continued favourable crop news, and another, the steady confidence with which people are replenishing exhaust- ed stocks. 1n some diroations heavy .rains are caueing damage,and in other directions damage amine from want of rale, but altogether conditions are largely in favour of a steady and ooneervativo iuorease in all the important lines of trade.

The Russian Ambassador to France, Baron von Mohrenheim, invested President Faure on Monday, at the Elysee palace, with the collar of the Order of St. Andrew, on behalf of the Czar. In Astrakhan the Kalmueks are dying out. They aro afflicted by some mysterious mental disease that is filling the asylums and hospitals, and the mortality is so great that there will probably soon be not one of the race left in the district.

Lake Ontario Fisherles. There was a decrease of thirtythree per cent. in the value of Lake Ontario's yield of fish during the last fiscal year. For 1894 theyieldis estimated at 6120,350. Many reasons aro aesigned for the falling off. At Niagara a deoliue in the herring fisheries is reported, Io foot, the large-sized fish hardly made an appearance thero last year. Some ascribe the abeam) of herring to the prevalence of a filthy sediment from the sewage of Buffalo and rubbioh from mills in the vicinity. Ab other places the herrings seem as plentiful se over, bon entailer iu size. It is now claimed that the herring of Lake Ontario are by nature of smaller dimensions than those of the other lanes, hence the suggestion of smaller mneshed neb to oopttu•e them, otherwise many fishermen will abandon the industry. In the Bay of Quinte, while pike, porch, and other coarse fish aro improving, bass, pickerel, land herring aro declining. AB perch has now become a staple fish, and Is considered by many • more palatable then herriug it is considered that it should be protected by a close season. Lake Qu Eerie and its tributaries yielded last year 59,030 poubde of whitefish,44,2.10 pouuds of trout, 300 barrels of trout, 1, 102 barrels of herring, 613,400 pounds of herring, 86,280 pounds of eels, 49,240 pounds of at rRmon 12 0 00 e 9 b pound f tnnekinonge, 139,2110 pounds of bass, 247,760 pounda of pickerel, 284,720 pounds of pato, 184,400 pounds of porch, and 584,030 pounds of coarse fish.

In the same year 5,750 agree of the adjoining suburb's were annexed by ant of Parliament, iooreae Mg the population by almost 100,000 souls. Today the population is calculated at 800,000 living on 15,000 acres. With the exception of Liverpool, it is the most coin- paotly populated city in ;Britain. The census of 1881 showed the population of London to be 51 to the acre; while that of Glasgow was 84 to the acre, and by the end of the decade had become 02, It was this ominous congestion of population that stirred the municipal authoritles into ae.' tivity. It was felt that viliganee must be the price of sanitary safety. A rigid system of inspection of tenements and watchful nese over the purity of foods wasinstituted The prevalence of typhus fever in 1864 induced the authorities to establish a pavilion for the reception of poor patients, This answered the purpose of an isolation Hospital so well that later it was determin- ed to extend the eyatem. A private estate of 30 aures, on the bloke of the, Clyde, was purchased. Here a series of pavilions were erected, whioh gave the place the appear. once of a beautiful village, with its trees and lawns, its play -grounds and beautiful" flower -gardens, with its SEPARATE ANDif05IE•LrltE private apartments instead of common dormitories for the 80 nurses, and with oonvaleeoing rooms and every convenience attached to each sink ward-when/1 would Have coat much lees money to build a big repulsive "pest•house " and inclose it with a grim wall, "a pians for nick paupers to die in." One of the most destinotive of the muni- cipal institutions of Glasgow are the sani- tary wash.houses. They were started on a' small Beale- for the cleansing of articles from houses where oases of infectious disease occur. In 1883 a special'establishmeut was erected, at a cost of $50,000, and a second. is now an course of erection, at a cost of $75,000. 7n 1892 700,000 places were thus disinfeoted and cleansed. The street sweepings, etc., are sold, some of them being sent by rail as far as 70 miles from the city. One of the earliest and greatest enterprises undertaken by the corporation'. was the driving oftwenty•nine new streets' through the old, crowded tenement parts of the city, and the widening of twenty- five of the existing alleys. On the site of some of the buildings which were demolish- ed model tenements were erected by the corporation. Lodging -houses for the float. ing poor population were also erected, where a night's accommodation with clean sheets on a woven wiremattrees eau be had for from seven to nine cents. These yield it return of from 4 to 5 per Dent. net do the cost of construabion. The latest develop- ment in this field of municipal activity is A FAMILY 000E, which will serve for widows and widowers with small children. Provision will be made for the Dare of the children while the breadwinner goes out to work. The next venture wae in bath housee, upon whieh $600,000 was spent. They have a patron- age of 450,000 a year. They are provided with swimming instructors, etc., and per. haps yield as much satisfaabion as any part of the machinery provided for the publie good py the municipality. Other liberally patronized institutions are the pantie waeh-houses. For four Dents an hour a woman is allowed the use of a stall containing an improved ateam.boiling arrangement and fixed tubs with hot and cold water faucets Centrifugal driers, hot-air chambers and roller mangles enable the work to be done so expeditiously that at the end of the hour the mother may re. turn to her tenement with her task aocom- pliehed. Street lighting being a municipal affair is ample and profuse, the cost of lighting oommon stairs being greater than that for lighting the city streets, The owners of houses pay a share of the expense of stair lighting, but the city meets a fair ,proportion of it on the principle that eaoh light is as good as a policeman. Glasgow's biggest enterprise, after the deepening of the Clyde, was the bringing of its CIVIO WATER SIIrpLY from Look Kabrine, 34 miles distant in the hills.. The work was done at an expends. ture of $14,000,000. By it a daily supply equal to a population of 1,500,000 to 2,. 000,000 can be obtained. The cost of water to consumers is about one cent per 200 galluts. Two per cent. is put away every year as a sinking fund. The success attendant ou the water- works project prodiapoeed the people to a favorable consideration of the mtmioipali- zatiou of similar services, such as the gas supply. The pity bought out the private owners in 1839 and has ever since managed this eervi0e to the unqualified satiefactiou of the citizens. When the works were taken over the pros of gas to the consumer was $1.14 per thousand feet It has been 00 cents for some years nowand the quality has improved although the price of gee malting uoal has greatly increased. The department hae nevertheless been able r n' ,• four to construct new wo ks ow m ft g non immense eatablieh:uenta, to pay its interest charges and running expenses, write off large sums every year fordopreoiatior of works, pipes and meters, and aooumulete a sinking fund easily capable of paying on capital indebtedness as it manatee. As It consequence of the oheapuoss of the illumi- nant it has been affirmed that no otuer city in the world, at least outside of Soot. land, can at all compare with Clog tw in the :uhivorsaliby of tato nee of gee lu the homes of the working classes. T1115 LATEST MOVE is rho promotion of plans for the extenstve uas of gas for cooking. Seeing that cleotri- ctty is illuminant of to -day the aor. por• Mien has also obtained theower t undettakeelectrte lighting, p o So suanossful had been the nnunicipal management cf all these matters that it was natural when the oorporatioll and the tramways gompauy failed to agree Oa to the renewal of tete momnany'e lease that therm should bo au ogttatton for the aesumptiots of this cervico also by the city. This was duce in 1894; owl' the experiment wae undertaken older many dioadvanbagee it hail proved a thorough success. Glasgow is a compactly built town, to that the great bulk of the pathogen carried de not ride long .distances, It was, therefore, decided 10 divide the routee into helf,mile stages and eharge a fare of a gent for oaoh half mile. *,Olds lane proved highly satisfac- tory, and the oorporetlou will be able to at least meet all ate engagements l4 respectto the tramways o4 the balls of thane faree. It would take a great deal of space to tell of all the intermits that tibia Iles old- world Pity has included in the sphere of municipal management. It comprises markets, alaughter-houees, porka, play. grounds and open spaces, libraries, harbor improvements and manogoment. The great Sootoll metropolis is eortainly as object lesson to the menicinslitiee of the world. OSCAR WILDE. Ills Prison Life -11e is- 6011114 In 111,8,9 and body -111s Vend act is Geed.

RE RKER OF FETER/BOEO. lIr. W. S.

He, with his most estimable wife, believe in looking after the temporal as well as the spiritual welfare of mankind, hence the following statement for publication : " I have much pleasure in re- commending the Groat South Ameri- can Nervine Tonic to all who are afflicted as I have bran with nervous prostration and indigestion.

When the nerve centres aro weakened or deranged the nerve force is diminished, and as a result' the stomach will not digest the food, the liver becomes torpid, the kidneys will not act properly, the heart and lungs suffer, and in fact the whole system becomes weakened and sinks on account of the,laok of nerve force, l South American Nervine is based;] an the foregoing scientific discovery and is so prepared that it acts' directly on the nerve centres. It' immediately increases the nervous energy of the whole system, thereby. enabling the different organs of the ' body to perform their work perfectly, when disease et onoo disappears.'.
