The KinChin Lay.

Dickens novel ('Oliver TWIST con-
tains an allusiOn to the ''kinchin lay,
which was practised at that time in
London. 1t was clay" followed by q
certain class of thieves, who made 1t a
business to rob children Of any money
or trinkets which they might have. How
remarkable it seems to find this lay pur-
sued in our own vicinity. Two half
grown girls have recently been arrested
for differing beads, lockots, and similar
articles from girls of smaller size, whom
they decoyed IN their power and then
despoiIed. This shows how readily
specialties in crime occur IN large cities.
The 'skinchin lay" has of late Oocasioned
much complaint from parents who found
their children robbed when bringing
purchases from the stores. The 'kin-
chin lay" does not bring large profits,
but at present it will not do to desplse
the day of small things. One Of the
most striking instances of the "kinchln
lay was recently afforded by the case
of Lena Swartz. The latter, child OF
ten years, was walking tie streets wear
ING some nice furs, when a large girl
asked her into the porch of tenement
house. While there she stripped the
child of her furs, and then slipped off
and was lost in the crowd. 1t Is thus
seen that children are not safe in the
streets, and, what is more remarkable,
no arrests have ever been made for thus

Bachelors in History.

In antiquity it was considered I'M
patriotic to remain unmarried Hence
bachelors were subject to peculiar dis
abilities Ill the Spartan and Roman code.
They were obliged to pay extra taxes,
and under Augustus they were barred
from the inheritance of real estate. ex-
cept from their nearest relatives. Only
one of our Presidents was a bachelor.
and he was a failure. Bachelors are
not as successful in life as married men.
1t is said that one of WashinQtOn's as
sociated patriots in the revolutionary
struggle was q celibate. All had the in
fluence of marriage and social life.
Hence the tendency against wedlock
which marks the present day is among
the worst features in society. Speaking
of marriage, it should be q complete
union of affections and of intellectual
powers. It may be added, that a mans
wife should to a certain degree be his
business partner. She should know
something of his risks and financial diff
culties, and in this way the burden of
life is often divided. Walter Scott con.
cealed from his wife his connection with
the Bannatynes, which caused his ruin.
1t is one of the best features in General
Grants character, that he takes his wife
along and gives her full share of those
dignites and honors which spring from
gratitude.

How Bret Harte Obtained a Bunk.

In speaking of compliments one day,
Bret Harte said he would give the history
of the greatest compliment which he
himself had ever received since he had
attained any distinction as an author.
One time. when he had occasion to take
the trip from San Francisco to Oregon,
he reached the boat just as it was about
TO move off. and without having made
any previous application for stateroom
accommodation on board. Fortunate IN
being assured of his destination at least,
which it was necessary he should gain
without detention on q required day, he
proceeded Immediately to the ticket-of-
flee on the boat, and inquired OF the
agent there if he could obtain berth
for the night. The agent on this occasion
was a rather curt, gruff fellow, who
made it his special pride to give all in
formation to anxious or inquiring pas
gengers in about as disagreeable man
ner as men in his position can very we'll
assume under such circumstances.
''There are no staterooms for any one
ALI Sold" said this Cerberus.
81 must have one, returned the nu-
thor of 1.-The Luck of Roaring Camp"
s'perhaps that may assist me in obtain
ing what I want, and he handed the
agent his visiting-card.
'There is no berth here for Bret Harte
or any other man" was the rough an
swer, and the card was handed back.
''Be you the man as writ The Luck
of Roaring CampP Be you Bret Harte 2
exclaimed voice behind the writer OF
that celebrated story.
Bret Harte turned and perceived a
tough-lool1ing miner, with pistols peep
ing out of his belt, awaiting his reply.
II have the honor of having written
it, " said he politely.
The miner took the card from Harte,
looked at it a moment, crumpled it up,
and then, suddenly extending his hand,
said with gusto:
''Give it ter me, yer son of q gun" re-
ferring, of course, to Harte's own hand

The Beats OF the Pulse.

By means of little instrument called
the sphygmograph, the pulse-beats may
be accurately and permanently record
| ed. And now DIR. B. w. Richardson,
LID, F. r. s., of London, by adding
micrOphone to a sphygmograph, has
constructed sphygmophone, by which
the pulse-beat may be heard forty feet
! away.
It seems that the sounds heard cor
respond to those of the heart, and are
three in number, one long and two
short, resembling the words "bother it. "
The three sounds are caused, the first by
| contraction of the ventricle, as it throws
the blood into the aorta, and the other
two by the closing of the valve behind
it and the recoil of the arterial column,
rs the contraction (systole) is finished.
It is found that the peculiar sounds Of
the heart, when diseased, and by which
the physicians ear ascertains its cOnd-
ton, have their corresponding sounds at
the pulse. AS, for instance, those heard
where there is a defective valve that al
lows the blood, which should be thrown
forward, to regurgitate into the chamber
behind.
Another interesting fact appears, viz,
tiHC Pe1eOu puIso Is quuChOueu ny LIE
laughter, the sound sometimes seeming
almost like an echo of the laugh. Per-
haps this may help to explain the hy-
gienic value of hearty laugh to one in
a depressed and melanchoic condition.
In severe palpitation the sounds are
all lost In a sort of loud whirr as from
revolving wheel.
When the pulse-beats are over ninety
a minute, there is, together with the or
binary sounds, a continuous sound re-
semblng what is heard when a shell is
held to the ear-possibly caused by the
