NOW lhs Burglars Tools at Suffolk
were Discovered.

Some boys had been playing mar
bles on Sunday at the depot of the
Seaboard and Roanoke railroad at
Suffolk, and one of the marbles
dropped through the stationhouse into
the cellar. The boy scrambled through
an aperture of the house, and while
searching for his marble came across a
lot of burglars tools of the most APP
proved style and workmanship. The
alarm was Immediately given, and the
tools placed in the hands of the city
sergeant.
At last accounts only three of the
band of ''Suffolk craksmen" ..had been
captured, Notwithstanding the country
for miles around has been patroled
since the bloody nocturnal encounter
between the sheriff's posse and the
band of craftsmen.

A paper has been read before the
London Meteorological Society on the
poisonous winds Of India. The author
DIR. Cook, remarks that there are GER
tain DAYS i'm which however hard and
violent winds may blow, little or no
dust accompanies it, while at other
times every little puff of air or current
of air raises up and carries with it
clouds of dust, and at these times the
individual particles of sand appear TO
be i'm such an electrical condition that
they are even ready to repel each other.
But the wind most deadly in its influ-
ence is the simeon, its presence being
made manifest in the sudden extinc-
ton of life wherever protection from its
influence fails to be afforded. DIR. Cook
says of this phenomena that it is sudden
in its attack, and is sometimes preceded
by cold current Of air, but occurring
in the hot months, and taking place by.
night as well as by day; its course is
straight and defined, and its passage
leaves a narrow, "knife-like" track.
1t is attended by a well marked sulphu-
rOus OdOr, and the current of air in
which it passes is evidently greatly
hcated-is, in fact. like the blast of a
furnace.

Books ana Dinner.

There is still a popular belief that
it is less extravagant to spend $40
for a dinner than to spend $40 for a
book. A FESTIVE person out on holiday
will spend % cents for a quart Of pea
nuts which he did not need and which
he eats up i'm an hour or two ITO his in
ward damage) who would never think
of buying for the same money some
cheap edition of standard book which
would furnish him solid enjoyment for
many days, and add materially to the
value of his life. Such a reluctance is
there to buy books, that whole neigh
borhood, eager, perhaps, to read new
work by popular author, (hungry for
it, will wait for months to borrow it,
and snatch the reading of it, rather
than spend half dollar to own 1t, and
satisfy the intellectual appetite at once.
Every day, in the city, people spend 80
and $40 for elaborate lunches which
they do not need, when the money
would buy some fine edition of work
that would entertain them for q month
or two, and enrich their minds forever.
They are prodigal about eating and
drinking, spending literally for dys-
pepsia, but trust to chance and borrow
ing TOR what the mind wants. The
sample room is more attractive to them
than the news room, and they pass by
the bookstore for the restaurant
Hartford Coardnf.

The British funeral arrangements are
it must be admitted, in an unsatisfac-
tory condition. 1t is not only the opin-
ions are divided on the questions Of ere
nation, burial in wicker cOffins, and
other modes of sepulture, but there is
an agitation to be observed in the burial
classes which is unusual and, to a GER
tain extent, alarming. We hear of
gravediggers suddenly throwing down
their picks and shovels and refusing
to work without higher remuneration,
and now a strike of undertakers is re-
ported from Gateshead. This ''rather
serious occurrence" as it Is termed by
the relieving officer in a report to the
guardians of the union took place un-
der the following circumstances. 1t
seems that the Gateshead undertakers
have hitherto, for a fixed charge, re-
moved all corpses from the workhouse
to the cemetery, but they now complain
that the weight of some Of the bodies
which they have to carry is so unreas-
onably heavy that they cannot do it for
the price. They therefore threaten
that, unless the guardians make new
and better arrangements, they will be
compelled to refuse carrying any more
bodies. The guardians have resolved
to leave the matter In the hands of the
relieving officer, with the view of COM
ing to some compromise with the un-
dertakers, and here the matter rests for
the present. In the meantime, if it is
really the intention of the undertakers
to charge in future on the burial by
weight system. persons with any con-
sideration for their families should
avoid as far as possible eating them
selves to death. There can be little
doubt that the dinner-table as a rule
is more deadly than the battlefield,
and that, If the history Of the world
were truly written 1t would be found
thst gluttony has been far more fatal
than patriotism.-PaU Mil Gazette.

Yereefty q white Mice.

There ia cage containing three white
mice at the Delta saloon, Virginia, which
are quite a study. After seeing their
maneuvres for an hour or two, one is
not at all surprised at the racket made
by mice generally, for during the early
part of the evening they take constant
and violent exercise. They consume a
great deal of water, taking drink every
ten minutes or 0ftener. Ii would be
supposed that such small animal as a
mouse would not be at all ferocious and
aggressive; but such appears to be the
case with the white species at least. A
chipmunk that was put into the cage
with those at the Delta was attacked by
them all and very quickly despatched,
without one Of the mice being injured
in the least by the unfortunate victim.
A gray mouse, which was subsequently
put into the same cage, was very roughly
handled, being attacked by two of the
white mice, who took hold of him like q
couple of bull dogs, and repeated the
attack again and again, shaking him by
the throat and biting his legs and tail,
the latter being nearly severed from his
body. Perhaps white mice, like red
ants, are peculiarly ferocious species
