Thcro has snroly been of lato a very j groat and significant increaso in tho num ber of child criminals that aro brought to our polico courts. Thcio aro rcoro of thorn, and thoy aro much younger than tiioy used to be, and they aro vastly "tougher. " Thoir mannor shows plain ly that tho street has been thoir teacher, and that they havo been apt pupils. Its mothod is simple- and varies in Hell's Kitchen nnd in Jowtowg only in tho opportunities offered. To begin with, tho hoy idler in tho strcot during school hours i3 thcro in deflanco of law, wheth er tho fault is his own or not, and ho knows it. Ho i3 in tho attitudo of "op position, tho normal attitudo of tho Etrcct. Tho policeman is his enemy, and tho policeman stands for tho establish ed order of things. Thus tho groundwork is laid for whatever mischief comes along. It is not long in coming, rarely longer than tho dinner hour of tho first day. Tho boy is. hungry. Ho wants something to cat. A boy's hunger is not likoa man's, which can bo appeased with promises. Ho wants something at once. If ho is playing hooky, ho does not want to go homo to got it. Anyway thero is no need to do so. Tho street can show him an easier way. A grocer's stand is handy, or a pio wagon; better still, a sotla water waon. Tho bottlo is worth so much cash at tho jnnkshop. Tho driver's back is turned. Tho boy "swipes" ono. It is not n very great crime, but it is tho stepping stono to many greater. A horso blanket or a copper bottomed boil er may bo tho next tiling. It is tho first Etep that costs an effort, and that not a very great one, with tho clamor of a hungry stomach to drown tho warn ing voico within him that whispers of tho policeman and tho lockup. Tho friends ho makes in tho ctrect soon help him to contempt for thn ono and a se cret prido in tho ether. Jacob A. Eiis in Centurv. A CALLER FOR MR. DE MEDICI.

Ono night it was tho Princo Bombastes Deadbeati. Tho night before it wa3 tho "Dook" Iudebto, and tho nest night it will bo the Count Freakivitch. She has been across our great salt water privilego several timo and has contracted tho broad gauge stylo of murdering tho English language.

New York World. Tho Night Conductor Courtship. The conductors on tho night runs aro usually more genial than thoso who look after tho fares in tho daytime. Just why tuis should bo so is not quite clear, but tho fact that most of them conduct affairs of the heart with young women who aro engaged in domestic service during tho daytime mav havo something to do with it. In making as signments tho aim usually is to put tho married men on tho day runs and the single men on at night As soon as tho evening dishes aro out of tho wav tho ! lady in whom ho is interested boards , his car, and between ono end of tho line , aud the other they manage to havo a ; lengthy tetc-a-tctc. Tho gripman is ! more fortunately situated than tho con- ductor in this respect, as his little chats aro not subject to frequent inter ruptions, as tho conductor's are.

Sonio lunatic or practical joker has been taking liberties with tho proudest dames nnd dowagers of Washington, and from letters and telegrams that havo been received hero it would seem that ho has dono tho samo with promi nent ladies in other cities. He eigna himself Colonel Star berry Fairfax, but that docs not appear in tho directory, nor is it known to any of tho Virginians or Kenfuekians who would bo likely to havo an acquaintance with such a per son if ho existed. His letterhead read.., North American Lecturo Bureau, West era Division," but ho gives no street or town address, and if any one wanted to answer him ho would not know whero to direct tho envelope. Tho letters aro all uniform and read 03 fol lows: Dear Mad ah Tho constant expression of sympathy which i3 manifested throughout tho country for that distinguished hut martyred statesman of Kentucky, Hon. Y7. c. P. Breck inridge, suggests that tho peoplo of tho land should havo nn opportunity of hearing his elo quent defense of religion and morality. In re sponse to vehement calls from tho women of America it has been deemed wiso to placo him upon tho lecturo platform. It is intended to havo him lecturo in tho principal cities under tho auspices of a board of national patron esses, ono representative lady from each prin cipal city constituting that board. Yournamo has been suggested for tho city of Washington, and unless wo hear from you to tho contrary by tho morning of tho 21st inst. it will bo printed as a member of tho national board on all tho programmes and show bills throughout tho ocuntry. I leave for tho west on Wednesday morning. Thanking you in advance Icq your courtesy, I remain your most obedient serv ant. Very naturally tho ladie3 who havo received this communication and they aro among the social leaders of Wash ington havo been thrown into a state of panic, particularly as tho writer threatens to accept silence as assent and does not tell where a refusal will reach him. It is not believed that Colonel Breckinridge has anything to do with tho affair, but it is Supposed to bo tho work of somo 'wicked wag. Washing ton Dispatch. THE TROUBLESOME SULTAN. lie Will Attempt to I'lay the Queen Against tho foreign Odco and Russia. Ono of tho first questions in which England and .Russia will bo strongly urged to tako united action in tho mat ter of tho Armenian persecutions. The Turks themselves now confess that 2,000 Armenians wero slaughtered in what they describe as tho suppression of a ro- bejlion. Tho British foreign office has already made a protest, which is as strong as any form of interference it usually indulges in. It is well known that no diplomatic weapon short of a threat which amounts to an ultimatum has any effect on tho porte. Public opin ion in this country, therefore, clamors loudly for extreme- measures, and the indications aro that the government will be compelled to yield to this pressure. Popular opinion is also expressing it- self in another way. It has been a grievance with the sultan " for jnany years that Queen victoria has not made him a Knight of tho Garter. Over and over again plain hint3 havo been given to successive embassadors and to distin guished visiters that tho distinction of tho bluo ribbon would bo much appreci ated by his majesty. Now tho sultan has decided to force tho queen's hand. Ho has intimated his intention to send tho grand master of ceremonies to Eng land to deliver to her majesty the rib bon, star and insignia of tho new Turk ish Order of tho House of tho Family cf Osman, which is limited to crowned heads. It was recently conferred upon tho German cmneror, who forthwith created the sultan a Enight cf-tho Black Eagle. Of courso the queen now cannot avoid returning tho sultan's compliment by giving him tho garter, and it has been privately arranged that tho Duko of Coburg shall go to Constantinople in the spring to invest bun with tuis order. Tho English press aro now voicing strong protests against such a compli ment until tho sultan grants full justice to tho Armenians. London Cor. riew York Sun. A Tiny 3Ioons Inhabitants. Tho inner moon of Mars is named Phobos and is a tiny satellite only eight miles in diameter. Let us suppose that everything cn our earth, which is noar- ly 1,000 times larger than tho littlo Phobian planet, is to bo found cn tho surfaco of this miniature moon, reduced proportionately. Wo find, to begin with, that a terrestrial man of 0 feet, if trans f erred to Phobos, would bo .072 of an men m ueignt. A good microscope would bo necessary to determine tho truo shapo and form of this speck of hu manity, and it would bo wholly invisi ble to tho unaided eyo at a distance of threo feet. A ship of tho dimensions of tho Great Eastern would bo but 7.j inches m length n reduced to tho Pho bian standard, and a duck pond would bo r. fathomless ocean to tho lilhpu- tian inhabitants of this Marsian satel lite. A whalo would bo as small as a cheese mite, and a real sea- serpent, which would bo a terror to the Phobian mariner, would bo liko a section of a hair worm five-eighths of an inch in length. Tho largest rivers cannot bo moro than a few feet in breadth and not moro than 2 inches in depth. A railway train liko tho "Chicago llier" could bo carried in an earthly cardcasc, and a city tho sizo of New York could bo cov ered with n bhmket! St. Louis Repub lic, Venal French lYess. Tho wholesalo exposure cf tho venal ity of tho Paris press even in its high places has made a great sensation in tho French capital, but it has not surprised thoso who aro acquainted with journal istic methods in this city. Not only such shady establishments as tho Monto Carlo casino, bnt many big gambling clubs in Paris and groat financial houses as well, havo long supplied big annual press subsidy funds to escapo annoyance at tho hands of blackmailing editors. The demands finally bceanio too great to bo borne; henco tho rovolt and exposure by tho victims. Paris Letter.
