An Accomplished Artist.

A gentlemanly burglar went to the
National the other night. The burglar
is taking vacation just at present.
He was very much interested in the pa
tent drop-a-dime-in-th e-slot-and- get-a-
pair-of-opera-glasses-box. He looked
it over and anon chuckled within:
We'll, this is fine. Now let us see. :"
He dropped dime in at the top,
turned the screw and the lid fell. Tho
opera glass came out.
'In New York they had printed on
the lining statement that the opening
of the box was communicated to the
ticket office outside by some electrical
device. But it was a fake, and they
had to chain the glasses as these are
chained. Now let us see.n
He took pair of nippers from his
pocket and cut the chain. The glasses
were placed in his overcoat
Hum! har'
He deity took a hairpin from the
lady in front, gave it few bends and
went to work. In just forty second he
had got into the cash till and recovered
his dime with three others, he then
pushed it back in place. The lid still
renamed open. lie gently pushed 1t
to.
You have to use a special key to
lock it up. Now see."
He gave the hairpin another twist
probed into the slot at the top, hooked
something, and gave pull. The lid
was closed, the opera glasses gone, and
the till tapped. He Strengthened the
hairpin, gave it the proper turn, and
inserted it among the lady's tresses.
Sometime within a month that box
will be opened" said he, as he walked
out, land a disappointed glass-hunter
will have a row with the door-keeper,

up will have bunch of Keys that set

lady will have steel corset ribs. Oh. it
is great scheme. ~ Washington Post.

Settled His Own Case, Too.

Being told that in one of the Russian
law courts there is a case which has
been on the docket for more than 400
wears. we are reminded of the humiliat-
ing fact that our own beloved country
is very young. Still, we are proud to
say that in the brief time of our ma
tional existence we have succeeded. in
accommodating a large and choice as
sortment of cases, which not only show
our excellent intentions, but give evil
dence that in time we will have the
most elaborate and costly collection of
antique law cases in the civilized world.
We believe we have no such chumpish
lawyers as the one of whom the story
is told in London. When he was a
young man his father retired from
practice, leaving the business to him.
Within week the young lawyer came
home and proudly exclaimed:
well, father, | have done in three
days what you couldn't do in all the
years of your practice.
What is that, my son?'
II have settled that Noe estate case"
Settled it my son? Settled it, did
you say?"
Yes, father, | settled it in three
days, and | could have done it in one
if the Judge had been at home"
Young man." said the astonished
parent, you are an ass, consummate
ass. Why, sir, four generations of
ancestors have lived on that case and
grown rich, aud you and your chill
dren's children might have done the
same if YOU had not been an eprepious
ass. - Washington Post

Why Mountains Were Built.

The islands composing New Zealand
are 800 miles from the nearest CONT
nent, and the largest boat the natives
have is 10 bigger than an Indian canoe.
Then they resemble neither the South
American Indian nor the native of the
Australian continent. Their own the
ory is that the Great Spirit was fishing
one time and threw his line down from
the sky to hook a whale. The hook
struck in the ground, and he pulled
and pulled until lie drew mountain
up to the skies. which is now called
Rangariri. He flew along the clouds
in rage, and tried his luck COO miles
away, with no better success. for this
time he brought up Mt. Egmont, a
peak 10000 feet above the sea level.
Both these snow-capped peaks may be
seen to this day by mariners far out at
sea as proof of the correctness of the
tradition.
1t it not easy to convert the Maori, but
once converted he is pious and in
telligent christian. They all ride on
horseback and are very fond of fine

The Bird Market at Lucknow.

Some birds are used incidentally,
and it Is well known what strange ideas
native doctors have of the virtues of
bird flesh. Both the flesh and the
brains of the common sparrow, espe-
cially the cock sparrow, are in great
repute for certain diseases: so cage
full of these familiar chatterers is never
missing in the market Certain species
are used in making love potions. and
are administered by rejected suitors
to the objects of their alteration. On
the other hand, the blood or the flesh
OF an owl is supposed to make a person
insane who drinks or eats it. On this
account men who are deyoured by
jealousy OF a rival or hatred of an
enemy come furtively to the market,
and purchasing an owl. in silence
carry it home secretly and prepare a
decoction- which an accomplish will
put into the food or drink of the
object of their malignant designs.
The list of uses for bird flesh is not
exhausted yet. Eating a crow is sup
poscd 70 prolong life by keeping the
hair black and preventing it from turn
ing gray. The common roller, often
called a biueiay, has certain rites per-
formed over it, and is then set free after
one feather has been plucked from it.
This feather is then worn as an amulet.
aud is supposed to have great potency
in averting the evil eve. Another pur-
pose for which birds are purchased every
morning is to be set free again. This
is done by Hindus as work of merit,
and by Mohammedans, after certain
rites have been performed, as an
atonement in imitation of the Jewish
scapegoat 1t is essential that bird
used for this purpose should be strong
enough to fly away, but that does not
induce the cruel dealers to feed the
birds or to refrain from dislocating
their wings or breaking their legs.
They put down everything to good or
bad luck, and leave the customer to
choose a strong bird if he can find one,
and to 20 away if he cannot.
The merit obtained by setting bird
free is not attributed to the Deity, but
is supposed to come in a large meas
ure from the bird itself or from its at
tendant spirit. and hence birds of good
OF bad omen, and especially kites and
crows, are in much demand, and are
regularly caught to be sold for this
rpose.-Pt0neer.

How Congressman Martin Buys CT
QarS.

Congressman William Martin of
Texas, who was the innocent butt of
great deal of fun and practical joking
at the last Congress. is perhaps the
heaviest smoker in the official life of
the capital. He has been described and
illustrated extensively, but all the pen
and pencil pictures of him lack one all
important feature, the never failing ci-
gar.
The fragrant weed is his great COM
fort and consolation, to which he re-
sorts almost constantly i'll his waking
hours. He is not particular as to
brand. quality, style. or price. There
is cigar stand in the corridor of the
House which he patronizes unremit-
tingly. When he steps up to the
counter he says to the clerk, briefly.
Cigars If the clerk lays down on
the case handful Major Martin
counts them, lights one, puts the 9TH
ers in his vest pocket, and asks, How
much?' The amount is stated and
paid. If only one cigar is laid on the
case he takes it just the same and says
likewise, simply, How much?" The
clerks, as may be expected, keep him
well supplied. Philadelphia Inquirer.

In 4 Dilemma.

4 woman who was riding downtown
on Third avenue train recently, says
the \. Y. SttD, became involved in an
interesting dilemma, which afforded
amusement to all those passengers who
became aware of it. He was seated
directly behind the last cross seat in
the car. In front of him was a young
woman who was devoting her time to
Watching the windows on the opposite
side of the street as the train sped
along. She was young and pretty;
without her knowledge few tresses
of her blonde hair had escaped from
under her bonnet, and had fallen over
the shoulder of the man behind her,
and had in some unexplained manner
become fastened around one of the
buttons of his coat. He made one or
two delicate attempts to remove the
wanderlngS tresses, but was SO timid
that he only entangled them the more.
He sat there with a frightened but
meek expression upon his face, not
daring to move. A climax was put to
his predicament by the young woman's
arising, or rather attempting to do so,
at Fourteenth street. She had only
Spt Hdll way Out Vi IcI SEAT when she
felt Il violent TUG at her hair. She re-
sumed her seat and turned around in
dignantly to learn the true situation.
In moment her complexion rivaled
that of the unfortunate young man,
and her attempts to release herself
convulsed the witnesses with laughter.
Her fingers trembled, and after FUN
bling away until the guard had closed
the gate in vain attempts to release
herself she gave one violent yank at
the two tresses, breaking them off and
leaving the ends still entwined around
the miserable button. Although the
man saw them and was painfully con-
scious of their presence he did not dare
remove them until the young woman
had left the car ut the next station.
For the rest of the way TO the city hall
he kept his head buried in his news

Cyrus and the Exchange Editor.

When Cyrus w. Field owned the
Mail and Express, says the n. Y. Epoch,
he occasionally poked around the vari-
Gus editorial rooms to get some idea of
how his paper was being conducted.
'Who is that man who sits in that
room to the right up-stairs?n he once
asked of his managing editor. That's
Mir, our exchange editor replied
the managing editor Well" said
Mr.. Field, frowning. Its my opinion
he isn't worth his salt. As often as
have been in his office I've never seen
him doing anything except read news
papers, and he's always got a big pile of
'em in front of him.
