THE FALL OF A kLEPToMANhc.


housekeeping and Despairing
There are generally but two classes of
shop-lifters-ths regular criminal pro-
fessional and the kleptomaniac. The
very poor classes seldom take a hand in
it. Poverty is held by the world 10 be
the badge Of crime, and the poor ~slattern
or trollOp who enters a store is sure to be
70 carefully watched that larceny is next
TO impossible. Tina shoplifter is always
n person Of fair apparel, and she gener-
ally has a pleasant home. II she be a
professional she may be one of a criminal
community and her home may be shared
by some other engaged in equally evil
ways. II she be a kleptomaniac-and in
shop-lifting the word has peculiar sig-
n~ifcance-she is possibly a woman
whose life in other respects is exemplary.
1t does seem strange that a wife and
mother whose home is an honest one,
who attends religious services regularly,
and who seems far removed from the
world of crime, should be so carried
away by her admiration of some trinket
or knickknack as to risk home, honor,
everything TO secure it.
But the annals of metropolitan Of
lenses are full of instances Of Just this
kind. 1t is the sex's fondness for fnery
That nine times out of ten gets them into
trouble. A woman who has left a home
happy and well provided for goes shop
ping. She buys the necessary articles
she first started TO procure after a good
deal of selecting and chaffering. Then
she has time 10 look about her, and goes
counter gazing. That is the fatal mo-
meut. Some taking article-it may
only be a t~rifle-catches her eye and alb
sorDs her. She has already spent the
contents Of her purse, and she can not
honestly possess it. But the object every
gains new fascination. She
must ave it. Then comes the tempta-
ton. 1t is so exposed. There is no one
about. 1t would be such a simple thing
10 take it and conceal it. Conscience
stified by cupidity is dormant, and the
lust Of possession is all that possesses
her.
A moment more and the article is un-
der her cloak, and all of a trenble she is
edging away, half frightened, half re-
gretful, yet wholly swayed by the secur-
ing Of the moments dol. Then comes
detection. Everything about her rises
to betray her-her frightened glance, her
sneaking attitude, the closer clutch she
has upon her cloak. She is accosted,
questioned, and then every thought OF
home, family and the disgrace that
threatens rises before her, and she sum
mons all the pluck there is in her poor,
huttering heart and denies.
Fatuous SOUL She forgets that the
s~anctity which a m since sur
rounded her as an honest woman is now
stripped from her. She is searched. The
stolen articles are found upon her, and
she stands there dropping and despairing
"a proven thief.
Every year, repeated over and over
again, is this sad scene produced. Klep-
tomania is a byword applied to heaven
knows how many forms of crime. But
among the shoppers of New York there
are more women who have had a passion
Tor larceny bred in them than perhaps
anywhere else in the world.-New York

Certainly, the tenacity of life shown
by pond animals is very remarkable.
Our own English carp bury themselves
deeply in the mud in winter, and there
remain in a dormant condition many
months entirely without food. During
this long alternating period they can be
preserved alive for a considerable time
out of water, especially if their gills are,
from time TO time, slightly moistened.
They may then be sent to any address by
parcels post, packed in wet moss, with
out serious damage TO their constitution;
though, according to DIR. Gunther, these
dissipated products of civilization pre-
fer to have a piece of bread stepped in
brandy put into their mouths to sustain
them beforehand.
In Holland, where the carp are not so
sophisticated, they are often kept the
whole winter through, hung mp in a net
TO keep them from freezing. AT firs,
they require to be slightly wet from time
10 time, just to acclimatize them gradu
ally to so dry an existence; but after q
while they adapt themselves cheerfully
to their altered circumstances and feed
on an occasional frugal meal Of bread
and milk with christian resignation

Of want of weight in the back, loins and
lower part OF the abdomen, causing the
patient to suppose he has some affection
of the kidneys or neighboring organs. AT
times, symptoms ofindigestion are present

Tux cheyenne 4 Northern Railroad

The Cheyenne & Northern Railroad
company, as represented by its board OF
trustees, is actively engaged in making
preparation for efficient work at an early
day. The managers meet daily to devise
the best means and ways to advance the
interests of Cheyenne in connection with
this railroad enterprise. the main object Of
these gentlemen being to secure for the
people of this city and county all the ad-
vantages that can possibly be derived from
railroad competition. The freight tariff
to Cheyenne and from this city northwaid
will receive proper attention, and the peo-
pie may rest assured that the franchise
and bond subsidy will not be transferred
by our home company to any foreign rail-
road company without an adequate return
in the form of liberal concessions for the
benefit of Cheyenne's business men. The
action Of the board Of trustees, as recorded
in its official proceedings, Is open to the
inspection of our citizens at any time.

The last volume of the reports from the
consuls of the United States as TO their
respective districts contains several arti-
Giles on the capitalization of fruits as
practiced in France. In the opinion of
our consuls stationed in France, this in
dustry could be introduced into the
United States to good advantage. They
state that very large quantities of crys-
talized fruit are exported from southern
France to almost every country in the
world. Among the fruits preserved are
oranges, p%ineapples, apricots, peaches.
plums, cherries, prunes, pears, figs and
melons. The crystallizing process is in
principle simple and nearly uniform for
all kinds of fruit, but requires a certain
degree Of skill, which can only be OBJ
tanned by experience.
The essential thing TO be done is to ex-
tract the juice of the fruit and replace it
in the pulp with liquid sugar, which,
upon hardening, not only preserves the
fruit from decay and fermentation, blu
retains it in its original form and consist
ency. The fruit to be preserved should
be free from blemishes and of the correct
degree of ripeness. Fruit long picked
and transported considerable distance is
unfit for preserving by this process.
The pits of stone fruit are removed,
and those that have thick skins, like
pears and peaches, are pared, quartered
and soaked in cold salt water for severn
days.

KEYNOTE TO SUCCESS IN LIFE.


President Richie, in takins leave Of Tia,
high school boys the other day, gavs
them the keynote TO success in i.fe when
he babe them, first, to be true, genuine
men, and, secondly, 10 acquire some
special skill or craft.
1t is the specialist, the man who can do
some one thing, however small, though
il be only 10 make bread or button-hooks
better liar anybody else, who nowadays
is secure of his living. And il is the
man VINO sticks to his own trade, who
initiates and courts nobody, who lives
simply and sincerely out from his own
conscience, convictions and taste who is
secure of his social position.
John Burroughs studied birds, and
birds only. He knows them as nobody
else ever has done, and when he tells US
Of their habits, their vices, their oddities
and the meaning of their Song. all the
world stands still TO listen.
A man Of wealth has "A conviction that
the sap Of a certain Indian tree can be
made useful TO mankind. He gives up
his life to experimenting with it; sacri-
fees two fortunes; reduces wife and
children TO want; fails again and again;
is jeered at by scientific men, but never
gives up his belief or changes his work.
At Last SUCCESS comes. He has not only
earned enormous wealth for his family,
but he has given to mankind IL of the
most useful appliances of life.
1t is useless TO dwell on this point. The
most careless lad beginning life now, in
this modern crush and struggle, soon
learns that it will never do to scatter his
shot. Only the specialist, and the thor
ough. able specialist, has u chance in the
professions. sciences or trades. Parents
are beginning to find that the natural
bcnt of a boys talents or slall must be
discovered, and his whole training be di-
rected to strengthen and develop it if sue
cess is TO be assured to him.
Teachers, unfortunately. have not yet
discovered this fact. Or, more proba-
bly,, they find it impossible to detect any
decided bent or talent in the great ma
jority of boys. SO in they go. en- masse,
to the preparatory school, and after that
to college, all toiling along together
on a dozen different paths of knowl-
edge, on most of which they
will not advance n step after
m~atriculation. So wide is the expanse
of possible learning now opened before
them that the textbooks are in fact
little better than induces to hint at what
there is to earn.-Philadelphia Press.
