A Teacher OF POcket-Picking.

Twenty years ago Chester established
"a school in London dedicated to the de-
votee of st. Nicholas and he speedily
obtained many pupils. The most we'll
known and skillful pick-pockets who
have paid the penalty of being caught
and those who were clever enough to
evade the clutches of the myrmidons of
the law, have all been nodded accord
ing to the Chesterian method. And
when it is stated that in twenty years
Chester has been able to amass a for
tune of 100000, the great Importance
and efficacy of his lessons will be thor
oughly appreciated. His pupils, on
leaving his institution, were formed into
bands of ten, under the guidance of
. schoolmaster," and it was under the
@gis of this ever-watchful guardian
that they overran the earth. Two
thirds OF the g profits were faithfully

two last exhibitions. In 1868 he was

and he was, moreover,
prohibited from ever entering France
again. He has since disposed of the
goodwill of his " business" to two of
his best pupils and retired to Birming-
ham, where he has great deal of prop

to settle at Paris he applied a few days

this capital, which has been duly &C

ScOIding---What Is the Use?

A friend who had spent a couple of
months in the family of an acqUaint-
ance, assured me that the husband
brought nothing into the house during
that time that the wife did not find fault
with. The muslin would be too light
or too coarse; the calico too plain or too
large figured; brooms too heavy; shirt
ing and ticking too wide striped or too
narrow; shoes too bic. or little, or cheap,
or expensive: the flour was poor and the
sugar damp; the fire-woOd was too
short, or long. or fine, or large; the
backing would not polish the stove,
and the soap would not clean the paint!
IS it strange that rs years have passed he
tired of constant fretting, and now al
lows his wife not only to order but to
carry home the family provisions, while
he scolds over the prices? Of course
>he frets now more than ever, for the
>nopmen cheat and her husband neglec; :
urr. The entire family are made mis-
cradle, and her husband who, with kind
diplomacy, would have made an excel
lent man, is growing more and more
reckless.
l wonder if any one beside myself
can gain a moral from this? l believe
if there is any one thing more than an
other that viii discourage, itis constant
scolding. Of course lives and judgment
are often amiss. but we need not pour
ont a torrent of bitter words to show
our disapprovaL A smile and a kiss
and I'm sorry to speak of it, dear,
but this ism just what l want; can you
mot alter it q little without much
ouble?'' -wil 90 farther than any
-ount of scolding.-COuRt5y Gentle

as Faculty, under the name of the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Association, a most COM

annually treat many thousands Of cases of
chronic diseases, not by prescribing any set

remedies as nave, in a large experience, been
found most ellicacious. Besides organizing
and directing this mammoth business of

time to write work on domestic medicine

At the close Of course Of lectures at Bur

and alarmingly i'll with Neuralgia of the
chest, his pulse falling from so 20 s., and
physicians failed to relieve him. Thinking of
St. Jacobs Oil, the professor ordered it to be
applied on flannel and was instantaneously re-

he left for his home in St. Louis.
