A CURIOUS THEORY OF CRIME

CURIOUS THEORY OF CRIME.
 It is we'll known that the proprietors of big stores in the large cities lose great deal by the depredations of "shoplifters." It is also pretty well known that much of the stealing is done by people who are not pro- fessional thieves, but who see something they want and take it. A we'll known detective officer of Brooklyn, New York, presents a curious theory of the responsibility for such stealing. It is customary for merchants to expose much of their stock on counters in the middle of the floors and arranged in the door, ways. A woman with little money in her purse may enter store to buy some articles that her means permit her to purchase, and, as she is walking about the store, may see some other article lying unguarded on counter that she needs, or thinks that she needs, but which she has not money enough to buy. In this way a women is placed under strong temptation. It may prove too powerful for her to resist, and though she is not dishonest in hel heart, she may yield, and thus become e thief. A second offense becomes easier than the first, and such 6 person may become g confirmed, if not professional, shoplifter In view of this condition of things the de- tective officer askei Is the storekeeper alto. gether free from responsibility in the prem isesi Should all the blame be placed on thu poor, tempted thiefi
 This will strike storekeepers and othe people of moral sense as 8 very singular in quiry. The storeksspsrs will think 1t quit,
 enough to have their goods stolen withou
 being asked to take part of the responsi
 bility for the stealing. A detective witl such ideas as are revealed in those question 1 is out of place in this world of sin. He will yet be found arresting storekeepers fo tempting shoplifters to steal from them.

DIsAGRKEING DOCTORS.

It is not yet settled in the minds of all medical men that N. Pasteur's method of preventing hydrophobia is what he thinks 1t to attack it. Thirteen years' experience has led Dr. Dolan to formulate the proposition that, Eff anyone obtained @ reputation for the prevention of hydrophobis, and if all the dog bitten sought or took this remedy, the result would be statistioally favorable" NJ. Pasteur's statistics appear formidable, but Dr. Dolan says that a comparison with those of the years preceding the introduce ton of the new system shows that while the number of persons supposed to be bitten by rabid dogs in France has increased extraordinarily; the average mortality from rabies in France remains almost con- stant. The indications are that, while @ number of cases larger than ever before has come to notice, probably through the noto- riety of the Pasteur school, the fatality at- tendant has not been affected by the Pasteur | treatment. As many as died before die now, and as many as recovered before are cured to-day. Indeed, argues Dr. Dolan, the ob- jection of science to the statistics is still more powerful. The action of the alleged propbylactic resolves into pure empirioism. In certain cases injections of the spinal cords of rabbits were followed by the recovery of the patients, and therefore, it was argued, the prophylactic was the remedy. Neverthe less, in one series, cords based on on, formula were used and some "cures" ana some deaths occurred. Then the formul, was changed, being made more intensive b, the introduction of cords which had beer dried shorter period, and larger numbe
 of deaths resulted. A return to the frs formula, with slight modification, stil developed mortality. As an explanation o
 these deaths 1t was stated that the patient
 who died presented themselves too late, bu
 "cures" were effected in the cases of som
 people who appeared longer after they hs
 been bitten than some of those who died.
 And SO forth and SO on. Dr. Dolan's al
 gument is certainly plausible one, and
 Pasteur's upholders will find it difficult
 deal with. But M. Pasteur has good sta
 and 1t will be hard for his critics to overtal

 A complete unetaznOrphOsis has come over the furnishirg of houses of late years, and the ingenuity of many is taxed to the utter most to discover something new, and again something new. The invention of that cspa- tsl and most useful enamel called Aspinsl -oue which bears witness to its importance in that it has presented a new verb, ito Aspinall," to our vocabulary-ushered In rage for prettiness as opposed to solidity. Had the craze confined itseif 10 the bedroom, nursery and boudoir, all wou.d have been well, for in those quarters it wss, and always will bs. mOst acceptable. But, un- fortunately, with the shorts;ghtedness begot. ten of sudden access to popularity, it did not discriminate, knew not where to stops and spread into the drawing-room- The frst few white rooms were pretty, the rest weariness and vexation. How tired one got of theml Then in came the aid of clever designers, who rang the chances on odds and ends of quaintness and besnty, until be. wildering numbers of patterns in tables and chairs, brackets and essels, were brought into the market, their only drawback that they were made in very perishsble woods, and that by reason of their evansscence they were not suitable to the sdornment of dig
 
 action is setting in; we are rejecting pueriie prettinses, but retaining clever and cunning desigus, and are educating ourselves to sd- \ mire rosewood and sstinwood. mahogany and walnut; woods that declined in favor afore- times, simply because they were made to take such hideous and clumsy forms.
 The dsintiest little writing-table ever | saw was shown to me e few days since, and | very much admired it; particularly when
 heard that 1t was designed for a yacht, In
 which place 1t would be perfectly in keeping.
 and would serve no fewer than i've purposes. It was made of enamelled wood, shaped tn
 the form of a screen on casiors, so that i' conld be moved into any position In the

 and above was & closed up shelf, which
 when dropped, formed writing table, with pigeon-holes for letters and papers behind. | The back of the screen was also destined for
 utility, and combined a tea-cup shelf and a | receptacle for music, manuscripts or needle
 work. A cunning tea table has recently
 been made, which holds 6 tray inside it,
 capable of being raised or sunk into place si
 will. As 1t possesses also 6 lid, 1t can be closed when the tea equipsge is not needed,
 and a substantial table remains. Highly
 polished woods are apt to scratch and become dis6gured by the tea tray, but to mitigstt this evil another firm has introduced
 double-tier tea table, the top shelf of whici [ is fitted with trimmed edge. into which [ glass trays fits. This glass tray will no ; scratch, because, though it apparently rest
