Considerations Of Paris Thieves.


The lowest in the scale is the "Pegriot."
the apprentice thief, who sacks to earn pro-
motion by successful operations IN the
lower walks of his profession High
above him towers the "Haute Pegre," the
French slang phrase for "hish art" the ne
plus ultra Of the business, the fashionable
thief, attirsd in patent leather boots and
white necktie. He Is generally young and
posses ses the airs and good manners OF q
perfect gentleman. His sphere of opera
lions is to be found il tue stalls or front
seats of the balcony at the theatars, ami he
never dimes at any but the best restaurants
on the boulevard
The masters Of the "Haute Pegre" would
deem it an insult to be mentioned in the
same breath with the "Poivriers," whose
sole occupation is to rob drunken persons
or with the "ESs2liers' or "Rouletiers," who

vices on unsuspecting country people, fire.

Handwriting of the Candidates.


The Figaro Of Paris, wishing to give its
readers some account Of the prominent cam
didatas for the ensuing elections, and being
unwilling to stoop to anything so common
place as biographies or licensees, devised
the happy thought Of engaging a grapholo-
gis5 to Judge the candidates by their hand
writing. Accordingly a supplement- to the
paper has appeared with sixty five sigma
lures, and a character sketch told from the
handwriting is appended to each one.
NJ. Ciemenceau's signature shows him to
be proud, vulgar, prudent. Jules Ferry, or
"lo Tonkiuois.n as it IS now the fashion to
call him, IS q mass Of Contradiction, AMI be-
sides being an arch dis>iEulator will never
stick at q lie. II. de Freycinet is also To-
uuarkable for his powers of discrimination;
he is Unfortunately vain, and his talents are
as numerous as they are superficial The
candidate who has come worst of in the
ordeal IS, perhaps. II. Paul Bert. The moral
faculties are almost entirely wanting in
him, ana is IS well TO have q wholesome fear
OF sEca nan as he appears to be from his
handwriting

Drunkenness.

Do you know, children, that the most
terrible evil in all the world is drunken
ness, that it causes more misery, wick.
edness, and suffering, than all other evil
combined? It ends in poverty. shame
and death, yet its beginnings lie in the
beautiful sparkling wine, the innocent,
apparently harmless, cider or beer.
Wine has been compared to serpent,
which glides SO quietly through the grass
that you never suspect its approach nor
for its coming until its deadly fang has
stung you and there iu no hope. Little
children, as soon as they can write,
should sign the pledge, for if they never
touch cider nor beer, nor wine, there is
no danger of their ever being drunkards.
A little boy happened 10 be near the
gallows where young man WAS to he
hung. AS he stood there tiie sheriff said
to the man who was to die, "you have
only five minutes to live; if you have
anything to say, speak now"
The young man burst into tear aud
said: II have TO die? l had only one
little brother; he had beautiful blue eyes
and flaxen hair, and loved him. But
one day I got drunk, aud coming home
found him gathering berries in the gar
den and became angry without cause
and killed him with one blow with the
rake. Drink has done it. 1t has ruined
me. I have but one word to say neuer,
nersr, ,seyer, touch anything that can in-
toxicate." The young man died, but the
boy went home and sigued the pledge.
Do not wait little children, until some
terrible sorrow has revealed to you what
dreadful curse this is. but now, in your
youth, resolve never to touch, toat or
handle the accursed stuff And do what
you can to help remove the evil. Loy-
ingly and gently and sweetly persuade
your parents. and brothers and sisters
and friends all to sign the pledge. II
YOU pray to Jesus and ask him to help
you you can do a great deal toward max
ing people temperate and true. :.
Here is pledge which wish you all
would copy and sign.
For Jesus sake pledge l make,
No cider, beer, nor wine to take,
To ouencb my thirst I'll ever bring,
Pure water from the sparkling spring,
And, while live, will always hate,
Whatever can intoxicate.

Hints on House. Keeping.

Where hard.Gnished walls have been
kalsomined, the soiled coats should be
washed or scraped off before a new one
is put on. This is the most disagreeable
part of the process. The furniture
should be covered, as lime makes spots
that are removed with difficulty, especial.
ly upon black walnut.
Those who have tried paint upon the
walls of rooms speak very strongly in its
favor. 1t closes up the pores of the
plaster so that 1t cannot absorb bad odors,
it can be easily cleaned with soda and
water (soap and water make it spotty), it
can be made of any desired tint In
washing painted walls it is a good plan
to remove from the room everything that
can be injured by steam, and then hang
sheets rung from hot water, i'll the room.
The yapor condensing on the walls soft
ems the dirt and it may be wiped of
with WOODEN cloths wrung from soda.
Ceilings that have been smoked by a
kerosene lamp should be washed off with
soda water.
If the wall about the stove has been
smoked by the stove, cover the black
patches with gum shellac, and they will
not strive through either plant or kalso-
mine.
Furniture needs cleaning as much as
other wood. work. 1t may be washed
with warm soap.suds quickly, wiped dry,
andothen rubbed with an oily cloth. To
polish it rub with rotten-stone and sweet.
oil. Clean off the oil and polish with
chamois skin.
For ordinary wood work use whiting
to rub the dirt off, and ammonia.
Mortar and paint may be removed
from window glass with hot, sharp.vine-
gar.
: Grained wood should be washed with
cold tea.
Carpets should be thoroughly beat on
the wrong side first and then on the right
side, after which spots may be removed
the use of OK gall or ammonia and wa
ter.
IF paper has been laid under the
carpet all dust may be easily removed
with it.
The warmth of floors is greatly in
creased by having carpet lining or layers
of paper under the carpet.
Drain pipes and all places that are
sour or impure may be cleansed with
lime water or carbolic acid.
Copperas mixed with the whitewash
put upon the cellar walls will keep ver-
min away.
Strong brine may be used to advantage
in washing bedsteads. Hot alum water
is also good for this purpose.
Oil of lavender will drive away flies.
Hellebore sprinkled on the floor at
night destroys cockroaches; they eat it
and are poisoned.
Cayenne pepper blown into the cracks
where ants congregate will drive them
away. The same remedy is also good
for mice.
If gilt frames, when new, are covered
with coat of white varnish, all speeks
can then be washed off with water with
out harm.-Farmer and Manufacturer.

Indian Wit.

came back demanding good shilling in

of his kuayery, offered him half crown
if he would deliver letter for him;
The letter was directed 10 the keeper { +

The Indian suspectng that all was
