They Must Steal.

There are in st. Louis dozens of
ladies, the wives or daughters of
wealthy citizens, who are addicted to
klcptomania. Every PROMINENT dry
goods store has seyersi sucn customers,
and when known they are followed from
tbo .:.ue they entor the store until they
leave it and by careful watching every
little article they abstract is noted down
and included in their bills, which are
always paid without demur
One young lady kleptomaniac mani
tests her disordered mind in stealing
buttons; everything else is sacred, but
she invariably edges up to the button
counter and slyly slips card with a
dozen or so of buttons into her reticule.
The boys at the counter all know her
and place the commonest buttons wishin
her reach. Any kind satisfies her; still
her bill for buttons during a year is
something that would surprise you. AS
her family are good customers we offer
ed to take back the buttons But no,
they said the would rather consider
anything she took out of the store in
the light of purchase. Now, the
young lady in question is model of
probity in all other respects and seems
to be perfectly unconscious of any trans
gression of the moral law.
The wife of well known ap-town
pastor is confirmed kleptomaniac,
much to the sorrow of the good man, her
husband. She is never allowed to 90
out shopping without being accompan-
led by some one, and a messenger is en-
ployed to return the purloined articles,
which are usually of trifling value. A
venerable old lady, devout member of
the Presbyterian Church and a real
motherly old soul, is victim to the
habit. She is widow and the mother
of a young lady, the announcement of
whose prospective marriage to one OF
our society beaux appeared in the paper
the other day. The old lady is wealthy
and not addicted to extravaganza in
anything. She will steal regardless of
the value of the article, and if nothing
else is handy will fill her pocket with
paper. The first time she was detected
in our store the salesman brought her to
my private Office and complained that
she had stolen some cotton hose.
thought it an ordinary case of theft and
gave her severe lecture on the moral
wrong of pilfering, interlarded with
threats of condign punishment on a
repetition of the offense. She both con-
fessed and lamented her unhappy pro-
pensity, but claimed that she was I'M
able to control this horrible habit. She
gave me her name and address, and
when l verified them l put the case
down as one of kleptomania, and sub
sequent events proved that was right

Important to the Public as well as the
Medical Profession.
HaU's Journal Of Health, referring to
CONSUMPTION, makes the following import
ant statement:
Consumption usually begins with a
slight, dry cough in the morning, then ON
going to bed, getting more and more fre-
0uent, with more and more phlegm, in
creasing debility, thinness of flesh, short
ness of breath, and quickness Of pulse. In
fatal cases its average course is about two
wears; hence the Importance of arrestlng
the disease at as early stage as possible,
and the sooner rational means are employed
for this purpose the greater the chance OF
success. The disease is owing to an lrrIta-
tion commencing in the throat and extend
ing to the lungs, so that their action is in
terferred with, and the blood does not re-
ceive sufficient oxygen to purify It, The
most marked sign of lung disease is emacia-
tion and the most positive indication OF
returning health is increase in weight"
So speaks Halls Journal of Health, and
we may add that in desperate cases. and,
in fact, in all cases of Consumption, or
troubles of the throat and lungs, immediate
relief NAV be obtained and a permanent
cure effected by the use of DR.. VIM. Halls
Balsam for the Lungs, a medicine known
for more than thirty-ive years as an unfall-
ing remedy for coughs, colds, bronchitis and
all pulmonary and pectoral diseases. That
the worst cases of Consumption have been
cured by the use of Hall's Balsam has been
attested to by the thousands who have used
it, or have been cognizant of its wonderful
remedial efficacy.

The bill, introduced in Congress,
providing that future sessions of each
new Congress shall commence on the
9Th of March, instead of the first
Monday in December, embodies a
good idea, though it is probable that
the desired end can be obtained only
by means of a constitutional amend
ment. 1t certainly stands to reason
that the active term of service of each
newly elected Congressman should
begin short time after election, and
that each new Congress should meet
soon after the election instead of, as
now, thirteen months after the cleo
ton; in other words, Congressman
being elected, and their terms of office
nominally beginning on the 4th of
March next succeeding their election,
they should meet on the day follow
ing the beginning of their term, in
stead of waiting until the next sue
eeeding December, Then again the
plan would do away with the absurd
| ity of ssshort sessions. This coun.
try is as big one year as another, and
public business is uniformly pressing
But now one session of Congress lasts
six or eight months. while the mex
is limited to three. Short sessions
are VIGOROUSLY prolific in jobs. By
requiring one session to begin as soor
as Congress came into existence, ant
the other year later, at the middl'
of its term, no limit short of a full
year would be placed upon either

CRIME IN VERMONT.

The Boston Post usually fair and
gentlemanly paper, appears to have
a standing grudge against the state
of Vermont, and it never tires of say
ing things to our discredit. The
latest spot in which it has broken
loose is the criminal record of Yer
mont, and within the last two months
it has said about two hundred and
fifty times that s'no State in the
South of the same population as Yer
mont could show blacker record of
crime" Yesterday it returned to the
charge, making the statement and
adding: ''Thus far not one of our
esteemed Vermont contemporaries
has been able to disprove this state
ment.'
1t is hardly worth the while of a
paper to s'disprove" a statement so
manifestly false, foolish and mali
cious; but as a matter of fact the
Free Press did, incidentally, point out
some facts that 90 towards such ''dis-
proof" and we may briefly recapitu-
late them at the present time. Ac-
cording to statistical table of the
crime of 1882 which recently went
the rounds of the Press and which
erred only in setting the number of
crimes too low, of the Southern
States, Missouri had IA murders du-
ring the year; Virginia 43, Kentucky
81, Texas 81, Arkansas "a, Tennes-
see 21, North Carolina 10, Georgia
Is, Mississippi Is, Alabama and
Maryland eight each, South Carolina
and Louisiana seven each; and Flor
ida three. Vermont was credited
with one. This shows therefore,
that the most peaceful Southern
State had three times as many MUIR
ders as Vermont and the average
number for the thirteen Southern
States named is nearly %. But this
by no means tells the whole story.
During the year there were five lynch
ings in Alabama, four each in Ken
lucky, Louisiana and South Carolina
three in Missouri; two each in Flori-
da, Mississippi and Texas and one
each in Arkansas and Virginia. In
other words there was at least one
lynching in every Southern State ex-
cept North Carolina. If this alone
to say nothing of the rapes, arson,
affrays, etc., which have been report
ed from almost every county of the
SOuth-does not constitute ''record
of crime" far more "black and mon
strous" than that of Vermont we do
not see why.-Ffee Press.
