Encouraging for Him.

A tramp who had asked citizen of
Jersey City for a cash lift was met with
the reply:
''Sir! began life on thirty cents and
am now worth $50, ZOO, and no man
ever gave me a penny in my life.
And /, sir, , added a second citizen,
''have made a fortune of SAC, coo by my
own unaided efforts .
"While t. modestIy remarked 8
third, ebegan. life as a shoeblaeb, and
now live on the interest of my money,
Gentlemen" said the tramp, as he
looked from one to the other. "a THANK
you. Yeu have planted new courage
in my fainting heart. l VIII begin this
very hour to amass a competency.
Which of you can pest me oRhow to fail
in business and get my start by beating
my creditorsP''
One man gulped down something and
entered a grocery. The second grew
red in the face and said he had to see p
man. The third turned a shade pa1er,
made ghastly attempt to laugh, and
dropped a cent on the wafk-and got
away while the trampgWas hunting for

An analysis of the population of
Paris, just published, gives very singu-
lar statistics as to the inhabitants of the
gayest city in Europe. 1t seems also,
for its size, to be the most industrious.
The proportion in which the working
classes exceed those who live on their
own incomes is the more, remarkable as
Paris is the Recognized ceuter-of expe1-
diture and extraYagaRee, for all France.
There are no cities that hold to the cap
itaIthe same relative position that IIiY-
erpoOl, Manchester and Birmingham
occupy relatively TO London. More

Fraud by Telephone.


Is 1t is interesting to note the way in
which the progress of fraud keeps pace
with that of science. 1t seems clear
that forgery, which, indeed, has long
ago reached its limit as a fine art, will
gradually pass out of fashion as modern
business comes TO be more andsmore
conducted through the telephone ihstead
of by the post or the Telegraph wire.
TO a. baTrister's clerk at Birmingham
belongs the credit of being the first to
show how fraudulent ingenuity must
adapt itself to the new conditions. and
the robbery of his master ThFough the
telephone, for which he is n6w
.Swantedy' was a very clever perform
ance. The golden rule of art is sim
plicity, and nothing could be simpler
than to connect the telephone with a
friend of his employer; but to success
fully initiate his master voice in ask
ing for the loan of some money and add
ing that the clerk should be sent TO
fetch it was a more difficult business
The subsequent forgery of a telegram
to call the barrister into the country
was comparatively easy. for the clerk
was past master in the art, having al
ready undergone a term of imprison-
ment for filing up another master S
checks. Clearly ventriloquism must be
added to the list of 'technioal'' sub
iects which have commercially value.
