AdrOit TheftS.

One wet night in Boston, recently, visit
ors to public hall found man at the
entrance holding out ticket check and
saying, "Umbrellas, please" People
gratefully resigned their wet umbrellas
to his custody, but when the entertain
ment was over both man and umbrellas
had disappeared. A more audacious
trick was lately played by "sneak
thief' at London club. He entered the
hall without attracting the notice of the
porter, and proceeded to empty the pock-
cts of the greatcoats he found ranged in q
corridor. While selecting a few of the
best, he was interrupted by member,
who in establishment asked him what he
was doing. "Oh, this is my regular busi-
ness" he said; II am employed to
clean the gentlemen's coats in several
clubs; l take all the grease out of their
collars" "1ndeed!" said the gentlemen,
interested, thinking he had got hold of
one he could turn to account; "how long
these in an hour" "tf 80, you may as
we'll take mine," adding his coat to the
heap, at the same time escorting the
"sneak thief past the porter. "What
great conveniences you have in London" ="
remarked this country gentlemen to q
group of his friends; have just given
my coat to man in the corridor, who
cleans coats for the club" "Who, do
you say?" cried two or three. "The man
I found carrying the coats out-wait, I
have his card" But the knowing ones
did not wait-they hurried out to find the
pockets of some greatcoats empty and
other coats altogether gone.

way Of detecting at least 4 juvenile pre-
varicator. The discoverer of this boy Is
q member of the medical profession In
Greene, Chenango County, and his name
is DR.. Williams.
The other evening several mischievous
boys broke into the schoolhouse in that
place, built fire in the same, and were
preparing for hilarious time when they
discovered that the Board of Education
were after them. Although the school
house was surrounded before they got
wind of the danger, they managed to slip
ont OF the building unobserved. Some Of
them had been recognized in the build
ing, however, and were brought up before
the physician mentioned for examination.
The first boy put upon the stand "knew
nothing about the affair."" and asserted
his innocence with all the manifestations
of veracity in his coun+enance. The
doctor was not satisfied: He took hold
Of the boys wrist and felt his pulse The
pulsations were unuaturally fast. Look
ing into the boys unwavering eye and
imperturbable face, he said: "Young
man, you are lying! You have not
uttered one word of truth about this
matter! Your pulse is now running as
high as 140, and no person enjoying good
health, and telling the truth, would have
as rapid pulsations as that" The problem
of centuries was solved; the boy acknowl-
edged that he had broken into the school
house. Although the heart sent no tell
tale blood to the face, it throbbed its con-
fession in the tiny pulse; and science had
again triumphed where human ingenuity
had been at fault.-Utioa IN. ~ Herald.

The Way to Set Your House on Fire.

TWICE our domestic in the kitchen
took up the ashes from the cook stove in
a wooden vessel, contrary to explicit di-
rections, and set them in the back apart
ment, where the wooden pail was soon
on fire. Had the fire not been seen in
time to extinguish the flames the entire
dwelling would have been burned to
ashes. We recently called at neighbor's
dwelling, but not gaining admittance at
the front door we went. around to the
back door that opens in the wood.house.
To our surprise there stood a half pail Of
ashes and the pail on fire. We have a
clerical friend who had recently COM
pleted, furnished and moved into an ele.
CANT suburban villa. The ashes were
deposited in barrels standing few feet
from the rear Of the house, near the board
fence. One night the family were aroused
from their midni ght slumbers by the de.
vouring flames, which had started at the
barrels of ashes, burned the fence and
thus reached the house. Everything was
burned to the ground. Ashes should not
be stored. Our ashes are now taken up
in an iron pail-never in a wooden vessel
and as soon as the pail is filled the con-
tents are carried Immediately and spread
around fruit trees. This is done at all
seasons of the year. Even in the winter
ashes are not storcd.-N. 7. Herald.

The Transit of Venus.

THE coming transit of the planet We.
nus is matter of great importance to the
scientific world. The phenomenon will
occur on the 9Th of December next, and
extensive preparations are being made for
the observation of the passage of that
planet across the suns disk. The last
transit visible from the earth occurred in
1859, and there will not be another till the
year 1904. By the knowledge we now
possess, as basis for calculation, It is
impossible to ascertain the earth's dis
tance from the sun within 10000 miles.
When the total distance is about 81 $780,
600 miles, as slight a matter as the dis
tance above mentioned would seem to be
of no practical importance; but varia-
ton of forty times the earth's diameter
renders computations too uncertain to
suit astronomers. 1t is expected that the
observation which will be taken next
December will leave q margin of only
$4,000 miles open to doubt. As the tran
sit will occur in the winter, the base of
observation must be located south Of the
equator. Great Britain will have special
stations in the Sandwich Islands and in
seven other localities. The United States
will have eight parties in the field.
France will occupy three stations, Russia
four or five, and Germany five. The prob:
lem is simply the familiar geometrical
process of constructing two sides of
triangle in order to determine the third.

A few well.directed blows from the po-
liceman's club soon broke open the door,
and Mr.. Dewberry rushed in.
"Where are you, Susan p he demanded,
staring round the room
"Here, James" answered Mrs. D., pok-
ing her nightcapped head from under the
bed, and diving back with a scream as
soon as she caught sight of the policeman
and soJt-begrimed Dewberry.
swell, WE'LL" said the policeman, in
disgust, don't see your robber. You'd
better come down and lock your door,
SIR" and once more the shivering Dew
berry descended the stairs.
BY this time his cries of "Fire" had
brought two engines to the spot, and
when Mr.. Dewberry appeared at the door
with his light the foreman, mistaking it
for the flames, instantly turned the full
fore of his hose directly at the person of
poor Mr.. D., and before the policeman
could explain Mr.. D. was swept off his
feet and doused from~head to foot.
In pity / will draw the curtain over the
rest Of that wretched night; but the last
heard of Mr.. James Dewberry he was sick
abed with an awful cold, and I don't
wonder at it.-N. ?. Graphic.

Two Boston Neighbour.

THE Boston Iraceller of a recent date
relates the following: "A gentleman and
lady, strangers to each other, occupied
the same seat in a railroad Car on a train
in Ohio, bound East Various subjects
were discussed. 1t soon appeared that
both were residents of Boston, and were
returning to their respective homes. On
the arrival of the train in Boston the gent
procured a carriage, into which both
lady and gent entered: "Where do you
go?' asked the hackman. The gent re-
piled at No. IT, street. You may
leave me at the same place. said the lady.
The gentleman had al kinds of surmises,
and could not understand why she was to
be left at his house. The carriage arrived
at No. 10, the gentleman still IN guam.
Diary. Trunk and valise were taken off
and set down. It turned out that the lady
resided 1t No. IA same street, and the two
entrances were not three feet apart. Both
parties had resided for several years in ad.
joining houses, and had met for the first
time 500 miles from their homes"

The French Census.

OWING to the destructive, though
happily short~lived, rule of the Commune
in Paris, the publication of the French
census of 1872 has been unavoidably
postponed, and is only recently finished.
It is full Of interesting statements, and,
according to La Patrie, shows the pros
perity of France in 1872 to. have been
pretty nearly equal to that Of 1866, when
France had reached the highest point of
her internal development. In 1866 the
total population of France amounted to
38, ,067, ,064 inhabitants; in 1872, after the
war and the loss Of two provinces, it was
sc, ,102, ,921. OF thie population 81 1665,625
inhabited cities, 13, ,405,310 lived in the
country. The number Of houses has been
reduced from 1871 $40 in 1866 to 7,7O4,-
9l3 in 1872. OF the &c. 1O2921 inhab:
it,nts only $4,000, 600 could neither read
nor write, which, considering the relative
proportion of infants and young children
to the whole population, is small aver
age; $3.50, 900 could only read; all the
rest could both read and write. The
Catholic religion claims 80, ,O00, 600 Of the
and the Jewish Church 10000. The &c.
102,921 inhabitants are divided into 49,
100000 heads of families, IS. .000. 900 men,
~
wants. OF these 100000 heads Of famil-
les practice agriculture and have 1.000,-
GOO members of families, which shows
them to constitute the most prolific class,
and employ 1,232,035 servants. The
number of clergymen in France amounts
to 151, 900; of vagabonds, 489, 600; Of in
sane, 50, 900, of which 5000 are men and
$4,000 are women. France harbors 90
coo male and $4,000 female idiots; $4,000
male and 1900 female blind persons; !;
and 1900 male and 10000 female deaf
and dumb.
In the way of domestic animals France
boasts 3,0OO,O 600 horses, $4,000 mules,
451, 900 asses, II 900 pairs of cattle,
100000 hogs, 25.00O,000 sheep, 100000
goats, 100000 turkeys, 100000 geese,
II, 100000 ducks, 115,000,000 chickens,
1000, 900 pigeons, 2,250, IA dogs, aud an
untold number of cats, making all in all

where he had not the slightest acquaint-
ance with the cattle, and an old bull not
only followed him until. he left the lot,
but took the gate off the hinges and raced
with him to the house in the most familiar
way possible. Smithson says he has no
doubt that the old fellow would have
called for something if he had waited q
little while, but he didn't want to keep
the folks waiting for dinner, so he hung
one tail of his coat and piece of his
pants on the bulls horns and went into

A Novel Way to Detect q Falsehood.

MuLr1TUD1NoUs are the ways on record
for detecting a thief, but there is one
species Of sinner that often def1es detec-
tion. A light finger may beicrippled, but
g light tongue is hard to stop. The blush
of conscious guilt does not always follow
a fib, and of all selfpossessed men the
professional prevaricator is the calmest.
The tact of successful concealment is
often characteristic of the youngest
falsifier, and his precocious depravity is
often blank stud = to the keenest moralist
or pbysiognomist. 1t has been left to the
genius Of tho physicisn to discover sure
