reign of Charles l., being the oldest
man, on any thing approaching to an

years. Thomas Parr, a lab0ring man
of Shropshire, was brought to London
by the Earl of Arundel, in 1886. and
considered the wonder of his time.

THE POOR OLD BABY.
How . Little fodder Feels When His

How . Little fodder Feels When His
Nose IL Out of Joint.
What curious thing it is to think
that that wonderful new baby will turn
into commonplace old baby in year
or two-that with the advent of num-
Der two his reign is over.
A little girl. although she is only
two years old. takes an interest in that
new baby, feels that she must help
take care of it, goes about materially
airing its garments and holding the
pin-cushion for nurse, delights in its
baths, and boasts about her baby
brother before she can talk plain. But
the boy-that is another matter. He
scowls when that wrinkled piece of hui.
mainly is presented to him, and he re-
fuses to kiss it. He wants none of it.
Why should it have his place on
mammals shoulder? Why should he
be told to 60 away? He thinks as i'll
of it as his limited knowledge of mum
dane affairs will permit him to think
of any thing. He has been known to
request that it might be "frowed
away" and to call it ''nassy sing"
and indeed his trials are very great.
Life has altered signally for him. He
feels it to his hearts core, if he is made
of sensitive stuff.
1t is all very well for Bridget to take
him into the kitchen and tell him to
.'be nice lad an she'll make him a
cake" He wants his mother. He was
never turned out of mothers room be-
fore. His heart is full. Well for him
at this time if he has a grandmother
ready to make him her idol a little
jealous for him as the first born. Then.
indeed, his ways shortly become the
ways of pleasantness and life assumes
a holiday, cake, candy. gingerbread
and toy aspect But in any event that
old baby has very unhappy day or
two before it, season when knowledge
of the bitterness of life comes to him
prematurely, and he understands the
feelings of deposed Representations

THIEVES AND BUNco-MEN.

A Detective Says They Are Not So Clever
rs They Once Wore.
"Do you know New York thieves
are not any thing like SO clever a.
they used to be?''
The speaker was one of Inspector
Byrne's veterans, and there was actu-
ally a touch of sadness in his voice as
he spoke, az though the decline OF
clever rascality was really bad thing
for the public generally. The re-
porter asked the detective the cause OF
this change which seemed to affect
him SO.
"Well, that's more than l can tell. !"
was the reply. lit may be because
so many of the leading thieves are in
Jail, or have been scared out OF New
York by the police. and that their
places have been taken by new hands.
1t is not because there are no thieves.
for there are Just as many as ever.
As soon as one is jailed or frightened
off another hobs up and takes his
place. But, be it as it may, the whole
gang are precious lot of bunglers.
There isn't the talent around now
to get up another Manhattan Bank af-
fair. Even the bunco and "badger"
game men are losing their grip. Take
the attempt to rob Phil Daily, the gam
bier. That affair was botch. So was
the attempted diamond robbery. As
for the attempt to ''bunc0' w. D.
Morrissey, the Western miner and
horseman, it was clumsy enough to
cause some of the old-time ''bunko'
men to weep. And SO the thing goes.
1t may be that the CROOKS are down
on their luck. for Hungry Joe," who
used to be the cleverest of the bunco
men, has made more bad breaks lately
than greenhorn, and is locked up il
Baltimore as a result.
1.-The only clever stealing that has
been done of late" the detective went
on to say, ''has been done by men who
were not in the regular order OF
thieves, and who struck out on q new
line for themselves. These were such
men as Foster and Bedell, the lawyers.
But the old line of thieves, as have
said, seem to be losing their grip. and
if they keep on there won't be any
credit in getting the best of them, or
in hunting them"
And with this the veteran, who has
made some very clever captures in his
day, turned away with a sigh.-N. Y.

A MATTER OF BUSINESS.

Wedding Invitations That Wero All Good

MissVirgie de Shrewd (who is discov-
cred seated at her davenport address

tanning invitations to her wedding)-
We must be careful to whom we send

THOSE LOvE-LIT EYES.

There is . certain pair Of eyes,
But whether black, or blue,
Or brown, or gray, need not tell
It matters not to you.
But, oh, my heart is full OF joy.
Wherever 1 may be,
When those sweet eyes,
Those lovely eyes,
Beam tenderly on me.
Let others cold and careless be,
And treat me with disdain,
And / will smile. and sing the while,
Nor feel one moments pain.
Bet oh, my heart would break in twa
And deep my grief would be,
II those sweet eyes.
Those lovely eyes,
Looked scornfully on me.
I've gazed in other eyes, It's true
Like brilliant orbs they sh0ne-
But none possessed the magic charm
Responsive TO my own.
And am happy when in crowds,
Or quiet hooks, see
Those eyes love,
All eyes above,
Betray their love for me.
They seem to follow everywhere
go; by day and night
Tn haunted by those witching orbs,
So full of soulful light
And II At window or At door
Though poor the place may be-
/ see those eyes,
Those love-llt eyes.
It seems like Heaven to me.

Barter In Human Hair.

A human hair-market is located at
Morians, in the department OF the
Lower Pyrennees, and on alternate
Fridays hundreds of hair-dressers re-
pair to the little place to buy the hair
of the young peasant girls. The dealers
wander up and down the long, narrow
street of the town, each with huge
pair of bright shears hanging from a
black leather strap around his waist,
while the young girls who wish to part
with their hair stand about in the door
ways. The transaction is carried on
in the best room of the house. The
hair is let down, the tresses combed
out and the dealer names the price.
This varies from to 20 francs. If a
bargain is struck the dealer lays the
money in the open palm of the seller,
applies his shears, and in minute the
long tresses tall on the floor. The
purchaser rolls up the tresses, places
them in paper and thrusts them into
his pocket. OF course. a maiden can
rarely see her fallen tresses disappear
into the dealers pocket without cry
ing. But she consoles herself with the
thought that the hair will grow again
and by looking at the money in her
hand GlignGni's Messenger.
