No young lady can be too well in
structed in any thing which will affect
the comfort Of family. Whatever
position in society she occupies, she
needs practical knowledge of house
hold duties. She may be placed in
such circumstances that it will not be
necessary for her to perform. much do
mestic labor; but on this account she
needs no less knowledge than if she
was obliged to preside personally over
the cooking stove and pantry. Indeed
have thought it was more difficult to
direct others, and requires more expert
ence, than to do the same. work with
our own hands.
Mothers are frequently SO nice and

Danbury man is confident that in tipe
passenger trains will be run al the rate
of a mile q minute. He is evolving
plan for taking on passengers without

inches below will do it. This is TO be

powerful hinge. He was in MerrilLs

is to have the passengers TO stand ia y
line on the station platform, with their
backs to the approaching train, and
near enough TO where IL will pass u
bring them in range Of the scoop. On
the approach Of The rack the horizontal
bar strikes the expectant passengers in
the hollow back of the knees which
causes him to lop backwards, when he
il caught in the scoop and whirled into
the car, and the next back rack takes
the next forward passenger, and SO on
until all are taken up. "a. .r,esh

on board Msdison streetcar to take a. trip
to the West side. From choice he stood
on the platform and talked to the con-
ductor At Fifth avenue two young
men got aboard, and third man, who
was standing close beside him, soon after
became greatly excited and inclined to
depend on Mir. Truman yecy much to
help maintain his position on the plat
form. This conduct aroused Mr.. Thu
mans suspicious, and he began to FUN
bile for his pocl1et-book, only to find
that it had suddenly departed. He

who got on Mt Fifth avenue had suddenly

him of his loss and was referred by that
worthy to the two young men who had
so suddenly taken their leave. At this
point the third party became interested
and assured Mr. Truman that he would

into q ss..oon, where three or four Other
fellows gathered around him and hustled
him out of side door before his victim
again got sight of him. As a last resort.
Mr.. Truman reported the whole affair to
the police, but, judging from what he
has been able to observe since doing sc
he has come to the conclusion that they
will never capture the thieves or recover
his money. He says he returned to the
saloon with an officer, and there they
found the coat the man he was looking
for had on at the time the robbery
was committed, and though parties
about the place seemed 10 know,
and doubtless dad know perfectly well
who it belonged to, yet they were unable
