Fraulein Hirtl, the daughter of a colonel in the Austrian army, has been put on trial for assaulting her father's superior officer, Lieutenant Field Marshal von Boroévic, the commander of an army corps. The affair has caused much sensation, as it brings into sharp relief some of the evils of the Austrian military regulations under which junior offi- cers are forbidden to marry unless the bride can deposit the prescribed dowry, which varies from $10,000 for a lieutenant's wife to $3,750 for "of a major. i Twenty years Lieutenant Hirt] fell in love with a penniless girl, and, apparently, in the hope that the regulation might be some day relaxcy. the pair joined their lives without any religious cere- mony. The union was a happy one, three children were born, and when Hirt] recently attained the rank of a colonel, when no dowry but only a formal erission to marry is ne- cessary, he applied for leave to marry his faithful companion, as this ou, tudor | Ausisian law, also make. his children legitimate. The field-marshal, however, re- fused this permission, told Colonel Hirt! that be had best send in his papers, and declined to have any social relations with him. This interview took place just be- fore a dinner of the garrison at Minkaus, "and ' Colonel Hirtl, in- & went. home, and' told his family what had happened.

Mrs. Humphrey Ward does not forget the claims of social service in her efforts to frustrate the de- signs of the suffragettes. There is 'no other eminent woman writer quite as active as the author of "Robert Elsmere" in trying to ameliorate the hard lot of the poor. Most of her philanthropic ener: gies are focussed on the Passmore Edwards Settlement in the west central district of London, where, owing to her initiative, a vacation school has been opened for chil- dren who would otherwise have to epend their holidays in the streets. Over a thousand scholars are in daily attendance, although they are not compelled to attend. The re- freshing departure from ordinary scholastic routine accounts for this School. When weather conditions permit, a mixed class assembles for tuition in basket-making on the large lawn at the rear of the Bet- tlement. The children work with happy application, and it is diffi- ttm ase ose ------------ Mrs. Humphrey Ward. cult to recognize in them the up- roarious youngsters who turn 'the back streets into a pandemonium during the vacation weeks. Then there is a woodwork class for boys, and a mixed art class, where the pupils paint flowers from natural specimens taken from the garden. "But by far the most popular olass' is the story-telling class. ries of old romance are recited y the teacher, and this section lisplays, more than any other, the keynote of the work, which is re- 'creative occupation. The more 'practical side of tuition is not for- gotten; for boys are shown how to gobble boots, and girls are taught d housewifery, while 8 of the school work r of cotton: spin- the end of 1911 ly scivice, The x traces of the crime with his micro- "What is the last boat that has arrived' {Fhe Donna Maria, from Sicily.' n without a minute's hesita tion the doctor began : "This woman has been assassi- nated by a left handed individual, wearing a slight mustache and knew the woman and has undoubtedly stayed here before. He knew that she was often drunk and entered the house by breaking in." He kill- ed her for fear she would wake while he was robbing the place and then escaped, thinking he had left no traces. He probably has in his pocket the stump of a eandle which as been used.' While a detective was sent in search of any one answering to this i clue, the doctor explained how he had reached his conclusions. the door in entering and a splinter of wood, stained with blood, made me suppose that he is left-handed. By the side of the blood on the floor pressure at the Passmore Edwards] a Parents' Day, has dripped. That confirmed my idea that the man who held the light iin his right hand had the instru- ment of crime in his left. "The microscope showed me that the candle was one of those manu- 'factured in Sicily. I recollected "that detail by remembering the Ber- "tillon collection of candles, which "contain specimens from every part of the world. In thinking who could have used a Sicilian candle I con- cluded that he must have just ar- rived from Sicily. The microscope also showed two small reddish hairs in the candle grease, mustache hairs, undoubtedly, as those of the beard are quite different. The mur- derer after the crime had probably twisted or bitten his mustache with- out being aware of what he was do- ing." The doctor's reasoning was con- firmed by the immediate arrest of one Foforrazzo, a passenger on the Donna Maria. The doctor handed him a piece of paper which he took in his left hand, which was wound- ed. The candle-end was found in his pocket and he confessed to the crime, --_---- THE BUBONIC PLAGUE. Only Way to Stamp It Out Is to Kill Off Rats on Waterfronts. The occurrence of cases of bubon- ic plague in Cuba and Porto Rico is an incident, thinks an editorial writer in The Engineering Record of New York, of that malady's east- ward progress around the world. Bays this paper: "It seems indisputable that the bubonic plague is passing eastward around the world. It threatened | haa are traces of a candle which | | California a few years ago, and the disease was avoided only by the most radical sort of action by health officers, backed up by the energetic work of public-spirited citizens in- telligent enough to appreciate the danger which was imminent and forceful enough to compel people to fight this danger in the only pos- sible manner. The disease has now succeeded in reaching Cuba and Porto Rico, where our medical offi- cers are watching it carefully. It cannot be handled as effectively as cholera or typhoid fever, and it will be surprising if it is eradicated from Porto Rico much before the close of the year; even if the most stringent precautions are taken to prevent its spread and to over- come it within the limits where it has already developed. "It is the general gpinion of the medical profession to-day that the disease is spread by rats which be come infected with it. These rats in turn transmit the disease to the fleas with which they are infested and the fleas transmit it to human beings. The main precaution to take against the disease is, there- fore, the slaughter of all rats, par- tigularly along water fronts where vessels from ports subject to the plague are moored. It is, in fact, the water-fronts of the country which form the main line of defense against the introduction of this dis- ease, which is essentially one of filthiness and uncleanliness. It will be difficult to exterminate rats, as was shown in the famous rat-killing campaign in California a few years ago, but if a bounty is on them, which need not be large, the cause of public health will be great- ":: Many a man is unable to "because he is on the level. ~ -- climb up that 'a satisfactory the various| "The assassin wounded himself at o It is practice rather than theory | Mula makes are , & tourist. lay crou braced against a boulder, ho the skirts of his sister, Mi Goethen, while she hu ice nearly a mile high. girl, with her brother and her fiance, Maurice rdien, ascended Mount Sautosse, and in returning to peri pathway leading to the glacier of Domenon. As they were rounding a granite ledge, clinging to the rock with hande and feet, she slipped and slid away towards the edge of the precipice. STARTLED BY HER SHRIEK for help, the girl's brother and fiance sprang forward just in time to see her disappearing over the verge. The brother threw himself flat on the smooth rock and slid forward just in time to grasp the hem of her skirts as she was going over & pre- ver, Luckily, his foot came against a small projecting boulder on, the very edge of the precipice. Beyond that, he was helpless. Sombardier tried to pull the two back, but could not. "Run for help!' the brother cried between gritting teeth, fear- ful that even the slightest tug in pulling them back might tear his sister's skirt and send her crashing down 2,400 feet into the rocks be- low. Sombardier ran back down the mountain. The girl's arms had been injured in the fall and she was unable to help herself. Dangling there in space, she could see, far below, floating clouds, through which she expected every minute to be hurled. Farther down she could see tiny specks, the houses of an Alpine vil- lage. All the way down was sheer precipice and jagged rocks. The sight took away her consciousness and thus SAVED THE GIRL'S REASON. Twilight came, still the young . man, tired to exhaustion, clutched the skirts of his sister. Minutes seemed hours. Hours seemed cen- turies. He could not move his feet for fear of losing his toe hold on the boulder and going with his sister down to death. At first he held fast to the skirts with both hands, then, as the strain- ing position rendered him nearly mad with pain, he alternated his hands every few minutes, turning the freed hand around rapidly to ease the strained muscles. Twilight gave way to darkness, and still the brother clung to his sister. At last the faint shouts of a rescuing party came up the moun- tain pathway. It had taken Bombardier three hours to go down the mountain, and five more to gather a party of capable mountain climbers and re- turn. When the rescue party succeeded in drawing the young woman from the precipice, her brother fainted. He is now suffering from a severe brain shock. His sister will un- doubtedly recover from her injur- les, --_---- HOW FAST FLIES INCREASE. Mr. Howard, of the Bureau of En- tomology, Washington, D.C., cal- culates that a single house fly, starting about April 15 with an av- erage brood of 120, would, if all her eggs were hatched and all in turn reproduced in like ratio, see by the end of the season her prog- eny to the number of 1,096,181,249,- 311,720,000,000,000,000. As each fe- male usually lays four batches of eggs their unchecked development through twelve generations would make a mass of flies measuring 268,- 778,165,861 cubic miles, or consider: ably more than the size of the earth. "Fortunately,"" comments the Medical Record, "there are many things destructive to egas, larvae, and adult flies, so the num- ber of the latter is kept down to a possible figure." A MODERN LIGHTSHIP.
