The death of the famous thief, Wal
ter Stewart, alias Sheriden, in u Mon
treal prison recalls a bold robbery
committed in n diamond merchants
store by him and a pal, ten years ago,
which for skill and success has never
been equaled in Philadelphia. Then
Sheriden was the most expert diamond
thief in America. and "A decoy jewel
box i'll the possession of Joseph X. Da,
wilson, of No. us SAMSON street, is the
only relic of the daring theft and the
mute reminder of the skill of the mas
ter thief.
Though Sheriden and his pal were
arrested for the crime some time later
not a shadow of the jewels were ever
seen by the victim or the detectives.
The box is a tin one about eight inches
long, four inches wide and one inch
deep. 1t contains white and blue pa
pers, usually in~closiug loose stones,
but salt is the substance III them. To
ward the end of March, 1880, Sheri-
den, in company with Dave Cum,
mings, another noted crook, visited
Davidson's place and purchased for $50

Two days later they came back, look

out purchasing. When Davidson ex-
amined his trusty box he found its
counterpart in its place Allied with the

they cleverly substituted the false box

The experience of the fire marshal
with the Polish Jews who have piled
their trade in Boston has often been
quite amusing. The Boston Courier
says that thor first refuge when being
examined is to ieign an ignorance of
any language in which they may be
addressed, and The Courier illustrates
it by telling the following story:
One man brought his wife to the
office in answer TO the summons Of the
marshal, but assured the officer that
she could % speak English, nor yet
Polish nor Hebrew.
Being forced to own that she did
speak something, she admitted with
reluctance that she knew a little Ger
man, and in this tongue the marshal
began his examination. Presently,
when the woman was off her guard.
he had occurs to an old and simple
but effective ruse.

The woman jumped from her seat
with a shrek, proving that she was

HIS TRAIN.

A Well known Police omeer's Clever
Scheme to Get on an Express Train.
Inspector Williams. of the New York
police force, who has dubbed many
men in his time. told me the other day
of an incident that occurred last sum
mer, in connection with which he ac-
knowledged that he himself should
have been the ciubbee. The inspector
has a summer cottage at a place called
Cos Cob, on the New Haven road,
where he spends his holidays. He was
going up there one afternoon, and at
New York, by mistake, got aboard the
express instead of the local train that
stops at Cos Cob. The express does
not stop until it reaches Stamford,
which is some distance beyond the in
spector's destination. Williams did
not know the conductor and could
think of no way to get safely off from
an Express train going at the rate of
forty miles an hour, so he made use of
his philosophy, a large quantity OF
which he always carries with him
when he travels, and he settled down
in his seat intending to take a much
needed rest; but the fates were against
his getting the bite of sleep hat his
system craved. An inquisitive
tryman, who knew little Of railroad
travelling, dropped into the seat beside
him, and asked him questions about
the danger Of running off he track,
what he reckoned h speed was,
whether he had v seen a cow mus
sed up by the engine Williams gave
the man mO~nosyllabic and fretful an
swers. but Mr. Hayseed kept on talk
ing. Forgot to bring a lunch" he
said, never needed a snack as bad.
Wisher had a chunk Of pie, or even a
ham sandwich, 'Spose no chance TO
get it on this trainf'
As the old fellow said this Williams
was gazing out of the window at his
beloved Cos Cob. which the train was
rapidly approaching, and which he
knew they would swoop past in about
a minute. . Suddenly he gave a start.
His massive sixty-two unce brain
bumped against the roof his skull and
an idea was born.
Mister" he said, turning To the
countryman, Il think you said you
wanted something to eat. i can tell
you how you can get a good square
chicken sandwich. Step right up to
the middle of the a and pull that
clothes line near the roof-yank it
hard a couple of times-and the train
boy will bring you the stuff
The old fellow started for the bell
rope, and Williams stepped out III the
platform. He said the train stopped
with such an extemporaneous jerk that
he was fired head first into a pile of
sand about a hundred yards from his
own gate.
And how Jared it with the old
MANI | inquired, and what did the
conductor dot"
Don't know, said the inspector, 81

The recent death of a Detroit pioneer
came very near being followed by the
skinning and failing of the attorney
who had faithfully served him for
years.
As a result of early investments and
fortuitous circumstances the old man
had accumulated a handsome fortune.
His wife died and three daughters
were left as the widower's Solace. In
the course Of time the young ladies,
bright and handsome, were all married
off, and did we'll.
They each liked to entertain pa, -
and rather We'd with each other in Sc
curing his presence at their respective
hearthstones. At length one of the
girls suggested the propriety of pas
dividing his fortune among his chill
dren. They were to receive 1t anyhow,
pa could always have a good home
among them, and their husbands
might as well have the aid of his
money in carrying on business.
Pa acquiesced, had his lawyer split
his wealth into three parts, and each
child received her just proportion.
Then things were different. The old
mans welcome was not as warm as
formerly; neither were his meals. He
overheard one daughter complaining
that she had been keeping pa for about
three months. and she thought 1t time
one of the others should assume the
burden.
The old gentleman hadn't lost his
shrewdness and saw what was coming.
He called on his lawyer, whose advice
was to keep quiet and work a scheme.
IF | send any N to you, take up
with what he may propose and decline
to discuss the affair with your chill
dren."
Next day the father was hugging n
dismal fire and inwardly suffering
from the cold looks about him. There
was a caller announced TO see him.
The man went right to business.

1t seems very probable that the day
is not far distant when brine, cooled
below the freezing point OF water, will
be carried under the streets in pipes, as
steam is now, supplying from central
stations a very convenient substitute
for ice in the domestic household. By
freezing in our own houses water
which has been previously boiled, it
will then be possible for us to avoid
contagion from diseased germs con
tanned in ice gathered from impure
sources. The maintenance of dwell
ings at 20 dogs. Fahrenheit throughout
the summer will then be as much a
matter of course as the warming of a

1t aims ut connecting a moving car
with an electric conductor buried be
meath the roAdbed without the use of an
open slot. To effect this there is laid in
the center of the track a crenelated con-
tact plate or rail in short sections. This
will be only half an inch in width on the
surface and will be quite different in its
effect upon vehicles from the ordinary
car rail; wheels will cross it without diff
iculty at any angle, as they cannot slide
along it for more han a few inches.
Horses will also find a good foothold
upon it.
Inc short sections of the plate are en-
tirely disconnected from zach other, each
piece being coupled by a wire to the cleo
trio conductor beneath. In this wire is
an automatic switch which makes
circuit between the section and the con-
ductor as the car comes over it and
breaks the connection when the car has
passed. Only three sections are ever
connected with the car at one time, and
generally there are only two. A strong
wire brush on the car rubs aion : the sec

them to the electric motor, whence it
flows to the rails and to earth.

magnet, an a and two contact
pieces. Surprising that the car brush is
in contact with one of the sections, the
current will flow from the main con
ductor across one contact to the arma-
ture, through the armature to a second
contact, thence through the magnet coils
to the section aud the motor, and as the
car proceeds it successfully takes sec
tions into circuit and drops them out

Nathaniel Hawthorne's Uncle Man

spring Of 1882 was much troubled by
an insect which attacked his trees.
Just at this time there appeared in a
newspaper a minute description of the
insect, its origin, progress and the best
method of DISCRIMINATING it. Mr.. Man
ming was so pleased with the article
that he ordered several copies Of the
paper for distribution among his hor-
ticultural friends. At this time Haw-
thorne was a student at Bowdoin col

just when his uncle was receiving the
paper, and commenting freely on the
article. Hawthorne said to a young

There Is a man eating tiger abroad now
in the central provinces, India, which
had the temerity 10 attack the chief com
m~issioner's advance camp and carry off
a cook. This animal is still killing at
the rate OF about two persons II week, and
a reward of 200 rupees is on its head.
Not far oil a man eating tigress has just
been shot over a human kill, at the
foot Of the Satpura hills, in the Balaghat
district. Both these animals are believed
TO have been converted into man eaters
by bullet wounds from the native match
lock-fresh instances Of the mischief that
is done by the present system of rewards.
a reward OF fifty rupees is enough Ia
induce any villager to try his luck at n
pot shot. with the frequent result Of con
verting a comparatively harmless animal
intoa scourge of the country side. Where
as il the reward were removed the shoot
ing would be left to the professional
hunters, who would still find abundant
inducement in the value of the skins and
the fees they would get from the villa
gers in cases where a tiger had become
troublesome by his attacks upon cattle,
