Don't Fan Fire.

If you should come down stairs some
day and see n smouldering fire Just start
ing In one Of your floors, ,stealthily steal
ing into your carpet, you would not be
very likely to sit down beside 1t and fan
1t, much less would you run over to
neighbours and have her bring the bel
lows to blow 1t up. Not II you were o
woman In her right senses. You know
quite well what speedy measures you
would take to smother or quench 1t.
Dear young housekeepers, there are
worse fires which start up silently in
homes than were ever kindled by Lucl-
fer matches. They begin small. Cross
words usually start them, but how the
fire spreads when once kindled, II only
itgets little tanning One sure way
to fan the blaze Is to run over to neigh
boris and talk your trouble over. Tell
just how unreasonable John is, and how
little he sympathizes with your trials,
and unless your friend Is an uncommon
ly wise woman, you will go home more
wretched than you came, and feeling
harder than ever toward John. You
have gained nothing, but you have fur
nlshed food for considerable scandal, for
nothing travels faster than the Ill news
that $50 and so don't get along well to-
gether." That which was only a trans
lent flash Of ill-temper has been blown
into conflagration that is likely to
burn up your domestic happiness.
Some one says If thereis ever anything
for which we are thankful, 1t is for an
cry words not spoken. / would add for
domestic skeletons we did not exhibit be-
fore the world. Better keep them lock-
ed up In their closet. They will not
shock or harrow your sensibilities half
so much there.
Only possess your soul in quietness,
and the fire will die out. If your inmost
consciousness tells you that you have
the true and devoted love of your hus-
band, you will not be much moved by
little things. Tears and life's mutual
joys and sorrows will draw all true
hearts closer to one another, and the
once vexatious things will seem like
trifies, as you glance backward over
| them.
Remember that nothing helps along
domestic troubles like talking over
them ; nothing smothers them like ST.
lence. A little patience and selfcom-
mand and the flash lies down. And, oh,
how glad you are that the fair fabric Of
| your home happiness has not been con-
| sumed 1a nsn8f

A Queer Branch of Industry = How lew
eIers are Robbed.

A TOLEDO paper says: The writer
II was talking to detective few
days ago, on one of the principal streets
when suddenly the conversation was in
terrupted by my companion exclaiming
to a passer-by:
"What You here yet z"
"I'll leave in-in-ten minutes, Mr..
Blank-so help mel'' and the man ex-
panded into blasphemous oaths, which
are characteristic of his class.
"Time is up,' said the detective

you."
over medium hight, low -browed, thick
set, dark haired, wicked eyed, slightly
marked with smallpox and had scar
on his face. His clothing was good ;
but he bore the unmistakable air of q
thief and a ruffian.
Who is that 7" was asked of the
detective.
The latter looked at his questioner in
plying surprise and replied
Why, that is Irish Mike, alias Day
ton Mike, alias, Frank Williams, alias
George Williams-right name Mike Jen-
nings, of Dayton, Ohio"
Who is he p'

his moll to work the jewelry stores

ed his game by ordering him to quit the
town.
AS the reputation of the great Mike
was not recalled to the questioner by his
name, so his business was not suggested
by the term !" penny-weighter."
What is a penny-weighter ?" was
asked, with feeling that his ignorance
would not enhance the inquirer in the
esteem of his detective friend.
" Don't you knowY Is it possible
anybody don't know ?" queried the de-
tective.
He assured him that one at least did
not.
" Well, well, that is strange" said he
musingly. "If you don't know I'll
tell you. The racket is simply lifting
chains and jewelry at the stores"
Lifting ?" was the exclamation.
Stealing" replied he.
But how 7"

that one | just spoke to. He goes into
a jewelry store with confederate (usu-
ally his moll), and he and she wants to
look at long ladies or gents vest chains.
The chains are in cloths and spread

Something to Reflect Upon.

The liquor traffic imposes a tax of 33
per cent. on the people. The saloons
outnumber all other kinds of business
houses of any one class in the country.
We pay about one-eighth as much for
education as for rum; twice as much for
intemperance as for the support of the
Government. We waste over 800, ,000,-
600 year for the debasement of the in
tellect and the destruction of the body,
and pay with reluctance less than $780,
900 900 for education and culture; then
we throw over fifteen times as much in
to the seething csuldron of rum as we
contribute annually to the cause of re-
ligion Are not these startling state
ments? Do you comprehend the enor-
nifty of this national vice? With these
facts before us is it strange that our
measure of misery is full? This vast
waste would provide a school-house,
thoroughly appointed, for every fifty Of
our youth, and set teachers in the midst
of them, of the highest possible culture.
Aside from the lamentable havoc and
waste caused by the use of rum, we are
compelled to support courts and prisons
and an army of official benefactors in
the name of charity that would be al
most wholly unnecessary were the peo-
pie taught to shun rum as an enemy.

out before them. She looks at them and
keeps the attention of the seller. He
gets one In his hand, pretends to blow
his nose with his finger and thumb and
then puts his hand into his pocket, pulls
out his handkerchief and wipes his nose.
Now when he pulls that handkerchief
he drops what he has lifted into his
pocket. That's penny.weightlng.
sometimes he will go into jewelry
store and pretend to be railroad man.
Then he Will pick out an article Of Jew
elry, make an advance on IL and have 1t
kept until he calls again. He will some
times make three or four payments, at
as many different calls, and on each oc-
casion he will lift something and gener-
ally gets the article he has paid for be-
Sides" fiil4l.i0
But how can he do this How can
he fool the jeweler Y''
"That beats me,'' replied the detec-
tive. " In the first place you saw what
give-away his looks are. Then his
moll Is bad woman. Any one can see
1t who looks at her. You'd think jew
eler would send for policeman the mo-
ment such a pair enter his store but he
works the best stores. He has played
his racket at Cleveland, Pittsburgh,
Chicago, Dayton, Cincinnati every
where-and on pretty sharp business
men, too"
Do YOU think he'll leave Y''
Sure of 1t He knows that every
jewelry store in town is up to him now,
and he can't do anything unless he
comes down to clothes lines"
But how does 1t pay ~
We'll, as near as / can get at it, he
lifted in Chicago alone in one year
about 5000 worth. This he sold for
fifty cents on the dollar. OF course he
was pulled, and had expenses; but he
gets a living out of It,"
why do you let him go now 2"
Because prevention is better than
cure. If he is out of the town he can
not steal in it. He'll go to Chicago or
Pittsburgh from here. They are his
favorite working grounds he'll get to
work somewhere, but we will telegraph
him ahead, SO that he can't do much II
the police choose to prevent him"
The writer thanked the detective for
his useful information concerning the
mysteries Of the glorious art of penny
weighting and left him wiser man.

CAN'T TELL HOW FAR HE WILL LUMP.

A HARTFORD jeweler, says the
IA Courant of that city, recently direct
ed the attention of friend to rough
appearing old farmer sauntering down
Main street, and remarked
'I've been sold worse on that man
than on any other in my whole business
life."
The man fully three score years and
ten, wore shabby pantaloons, rough COW
hide boots, innocent of the slightest
trace of blacking, vest soiled in front
and with the back partly in tatters was
in his shirt sleeves, without collar, and
his head covered by tile, fashionable
many years ago.
That was about his style,'' contin-
ued the merchant, "when he dropped
in at my store one day during the war,
and said he wanted to buy watch
Judging from his appearance that he
meant something in the future, after the
scarecrow season was over and he had
drawn his money, didn't hustle around
very lively to make trade. / thought
ten dollar silver watch would about
close out his pile and showed one across
the counter to him. He merely glanced
at it, and quietly asked, "Don't you
keep anything better ~ This nettled
me and for bluff / hauled out an
American watch, one of the costliest we
had in the store, worth one hundred and
seventy-five dollars in gold, and gold
was worth somewhere about two hun
dred then. He examined it carefully,
asked its price, and then to my amaze
ment said, "That'll do" He dived
down into his pantaloons pocket and
after fishing out of the way roll of
greenbacks as big as your hat he hauled
up purse of gold, counted out the one
hundred and seventy-five dollars, show
ed the watch into his vest pocket and
walked out. You may imagine that
this excited my curiosity and after a
while / ascertained who my strange Gus
toner was. He lived few miles down
the river and was worth enough to have
bought out the whole establishment
Since then L haven't tried any more
bluffs on plainly dressed men. You
can't always tell by a mans clothes
what he's got down in his pockets any
more than you can tell how far a toad
will jump by looking at him."
