HIS SECOND WIFE.
She Teaches Her Husband a Les
son in Consistency.

1t was on yellow-shining June
evening, just after brisk thunder
shower, that Emily Arden first saw
her new home, the old stone house, all
wreathed in poisoning pink roses,
with the row of giant sycamores in
front, and the pair of box monsters by
the door, the dragon with his head
grown to one side, and the peacock
whose tail had been frozen off in that
bitter spell last March.
No bride in all the history of we'd
ding rings was ever happier than
Emily Arden. True, she had given
herself to widower, but Tom Arden
was young and handsome, and very
much in love; and as she crossed the
threshold into the sweet-scented
prettily furnished house, vague sem
sation of tender pity for the loved and
lost first wife who had once reigned
there entered her heart.

Tom, with kiss, as he led her in 81

The American Consul at Chemnitz
reports that the beer production of

JUDGE WILLIAM A. CHENEY of Cali

CHINESE BURGLARS.
The Amount of Cunning Exhibited by Ce
leStial Thieves.

The Amount of Cunning Exhibited by Co.
lestial Thieves.
The ladder of the Chinese burglar is,
in ordinary appearance, nothing more
than a bamboo pole, such as every la
borer uses in carrying burdens; but it
is in reality hollow, as all bamboos
are, of course, and through it runs
rope which is so arranged that at each
joint of Ithe bamboo it connects with
another rope, forming a Hoop. These
loops can be drawn taut and con-
cealed, so that when the thief carries
this ladder on the street it is simple
and honest-appearing pole; but when
needed it is set against the wall to be
scaled, the rope is Stacked, and by the
loops thus formed the thief mounts
the wall and enters the building to be
plundered. Thus EARNED and
equipped" the cool adroitness and
success with which q thief will enter a
house, go even to the sleeping rooms
| of the inmates, and steal the very cloth
| ing from their beds, is something mar
| velous.
A friend of the writer, for many
years resident of Peking, awoke one
winter night, some ten years ago.
shivering with the cold, and found all
the clothes slipping from the bed. He
replaced them and fell asleep. In an
hour he awoke again for the same rea-
son, again replaced the bedding, and
again went to sleep. In another hour
he awoke to find himself absolutely
without any covering, though the bed
stood near the open window. A thief
had come into the house, crept under
his bed, pulled off all the clothing
gradually and carefully, as bedclothes
will sometimes creep off themselves,
and on the third trial had been sue
cessful and got away with the plumber.
! Each time that the occupant of the
bed awakened and replaced the bed
ding the thief had been quietly en-
sconced under the bed, ready to try
again as soon as the owner fell asleep.
Chinese thieves know that .perse-
verance conquers all things even to
| bedclothes.
| Another friend awoke one night and
saw in the full light of the moon shin
ing through a window, a Chinese thief
on his knees, bending over quantity
of clothing, busily packing and tying
it up in sheet. This friend, a man
Of great GOODNESS and presence of mind,
thought that il, without alarming the
thief, he could spring from the bed
upon the back of the intruder thus
bent over, he could hold him down and
capture him. 90, after removing the
bedding with the utmost care, he
sprang upon the thief and succeeded
in clasping him about the waist. He
then found, to his disgust, that the
body of the Chinaman was oiled, and
with all his strength he could not pre-
vent him from turning about in his
arms. Thinking to improve matters,
he kept one arm about the waist of the
thief and reached up with the other to
seize him by the cue, but he drew it
away again at once, bleeding in half a
dozen places, and the thief easily
slipped from the single arm that sur.
rounded him. and, empty-handed,
bounded from the room and disap-
peared. - Cor. Philadelphia Call.

Fleeing the WooI-Buyers.

The almost general custom of load

Buyers are aware of it and they de-
duct from the price more than enough
to make themselves whole while many
honest people who put up wool prop
erly have to suffer with the guilty.
Wool-buyers have been in the habit
of receiving feeces without opening
