Disease In Books.

"There is no more wonderful appa-
ratus for the conveyance of disease
than book" says the London Lancet,
discovery which the Pail Mall
Gazette thinks will be Immediately
popular with schoolboys and the oppo-
nents of free libraries. A list of the
maladies most easily conveyed by means
of books is given as follows: " Measles,
scarlet fever, diphtheria, sore throat.
whooping cough, bronchitis and per
haps phthisic." The germs of disease
"may lie for weeks, months or perhaps
years, between the pages of bound
book. to be dislodged at some unpro-
pitious moment when the volume
chances to be handled by susceptible
person" The worst of the Loncet's
discovery isthat no remedy apparently
can be provided for this difficulty.

Hunting With a Leopard,

In Africa and Southern Asia the
cheetah or hunting leopard is itnpor-
tant to the sportsman. The animals
resemble the common leopard In their
markings, but are more slender, hav-
ing long legs and certain external
canine characteristics that are very
noticeable, so that it was long thought
a connecting link between the dogs
and cats. In Persia it is called the
youze, and they are carried to the
field in low cars, whereon they are
chained. Each leopard is hooded.
When the hunters come within view
of herd Of antelopes, the leopard is
unclaimed, his hood is removed, and
the game is pointed out to him, being
directed in the pursuit by his sight.
Then he steals along cautiously and
crouchingly, taking advantage of every
means of masking his attack, till he
has approached the herd unseen within
killing distance, when he suddenly
launches himself upon his quarry with
five or six vigorous and rapid bounds.
strangles it instantaneously and drinks
its blood. The huntsman now ap-
proaches the leopard, caresses him,
wins him from his prey by placing the
blood which he collects in wooden
ladle under the nose of the animal, or
by throwing to him pieces of meat,
and while he is thus kept quiet hoods
him, leads him back to his car, and
there chains him. If the leopard fails
in consequence of the herd having
taken timely alarm, he attempts no
pursuit, but returns to his car with a
detected and mortified air.
The hyena and ounce have also been
used in hunting. while the wild dog of
Africa is often in demand. In Asia
tiger-hunting would be practiced less
were it not for the elephants, who
seem to enjoy the dangerous sport as
well as their riders, who are safely
housed on their backs. These intelli-
gent animals are also used in captur-
ing wild animals Of their own kind,
and are important factors in the train
ing and subduing process that comes
later. The horse was formerly used in
England to stalk animals. They were
trapped SO that the rider was con
cealed, and so feeding along the ami
NAL gradually brought the sportsman
nearer the game. In the inventories
Of the wardrobe belonging to King
Henry VIII. is the allowance of certain
qualities of stuff for the purpose of
making stalking coats and stalking
hose for the use of his majesty.

About two weeks ago two women

A Partisan journal some time ago
recorded an exceedingly clever bit OF
matchmaking executed by an Ameri-
can lady of this order in brilliant style.
Her eldest daughter had sailed from
New York with some friends for a tour
of Europe, and after " doing" the con.
tinent had returned to the French capi-
tai for several months of rest and
pleasuring. Attractive and clever,
she had many suitors, some more, some
less desirable. She could not marry
them all, so she adroitly reduced the
number to two-the best of the lot, of
course. Then she wrote home to her
mamma, explaining the exact situation
of affairs. adding that they were both
so handsome, agreeable, well connected
and rich that she could not decide be-
tween them, and closed with the ques-
tion, "What shall do?" Ten days
later she received a cablegram from
mamma: al sail tomorrow; hold
both till l come" The next trans
atlantic steamer brought Mrs. Blank
with her second daughter, just turned
eighteen and fresh from school. On
her arrival the old lady at once took
the helm of affairs, and steered SO

that in a few weeks she had reached
port with all colors flying, To drop
metaphor, she attended the wedding Of
her two daughters at the American
chapel on the same morning. After
due examination she decided that
neither Of the nice fellows should go
out of the family.
Here is an illustration Of much less
skillful attempt at matchmaking with
very different denouement. A GER
tain member of parliament, who owned
extensive estates, was spending few
days at the residence of noble fam
lily. There were several interesting
and accomplished young ladies in the
family, to whom the honorable member
showed every attention. Just as he
was about to take leave the nobleman's
wife proceeded to consult him upon
matter which, she declared, was caus-
ing her no little distress. at is re-

Arrick Of New Ysrk Thieves.

A succession Of wild shrieks, sug-
gesting person in mortal pain or ter
ror, fell upon the ear of New York
World reporter the other evening as
he was passing along Worth street to-
ward Chatham square. On the side
walk, not far away, was young man,
apparently in a fit, and crowd was
gathering about him. Several rough
looking lads who had emerged from
the neighboring slums pressed through
the throng to make their way to its
center.
AS the reporter, unsuspectingly, was
about to join it with other people who
were passing, he saw policeman hur
rying up from Mulberry street with
stealthy tread, and, of course, with a
club in hand. He had almost reached
the spot when there was sharp, short
whistle and an instant scattering of a
dozen ragged shadows out from the
crowd. The shrieks ceased as suddenly
as they had begun, and a slim young
man, whom the reporter recognized
with amazement as the late epileptic,
ran out and up the street as fast as
his legs could carry him. The officer
shook his club after him and shouted,
in tones that visibly increased his
speed:
"Say, Kidl 1 want none of yer
foolishness here no more, dye under
stand? If 1 catch yer here again, I'll
break yer jaw"
To the reporter he explained that
the Kid" was notable young thief,
whose particular trick was to simulate
fit in the street, and 50 attract a
crowd, which his confederates, the
pickpockets, could "work" at their
leisure.
The "Kid" is not alone in this bust
ness. The trick is commonly played
in crowded thoroughfares, and he
prefers downtown streets during busi-
ness hours, when the profits from the
haul are the heaviest. 1t is one of
thousand tricks and swindles by which
thieves carry on their trade. Some
are ingenious, some bold, some only
less stupid than those whom they de-
ceive, according to the quality Of the
thief practicing it. Some branches of
thievery, to yield even the most
moderate success, require the exercise
Of a talent which, turned to good pur-
pose in any ordinary business pursuit.
