STOLE HIS SHEET.
1t Is Carefully Taken Away While the
Sleeper Is in Dream-Land.

The captain told some of the exploits
of the native thieves and assured me he
was speaking the words of truth and
sobeTness, says a writer in the Toledo
Blade. | am certain of the latter, as it
was his first drink that day.
"You may have heard" he said, " that
an Indian thief will steal the sheet from
under a sleeping man without awakening
him. This story sounds ridiculous, but I
know it's true, as [ lost five pounds sterl-
after l came to India.
~ made the bet with the senior cap
tain of my regiment, and the only stipu-
lation was that l should not harm the
thief in case of waking suddenly while be
was at work.
"The sheet on which 1 slept was
marked so that it could be positively
identified. Before going to bed [ exam
ined it carefully, and or getting up in the
morning saw the sheet was still there. I
smiled triumphantly and already felt the
FIVE pounds sterling note in my fingers,
when there was a rap on the door.
"Opening it, I received a note from the
hands of my seniors servant, and open
ing the bundle I found the marked sheet.
Then I looked at the bed and found an
other sheet. Ny bet of five pounds sterl-
ing was lost.
ave breakfasted at the mess, and as I
paid my wager l begged an explanation
Of the trick, avowing that the knowledge
would be worth the money. The senior
readily told me, and since then I've more
than made myself ever by making the
same bet with newly-arrived subs.
"This is the way it is done: In sum-
mer in this hot climate you never have
any covering besides your pajamas or
sleeping-dress. You lie on the sheet,
which is spread on the mattress and take
any position you choose. Mosquitoes
are abundant, and the buzzing Of these
pests is too frequent to be noticed.
"The thief m to your bedside
armed only with a feather. He initiates
the buzzing Of a mosquito, and at the
same time tickles you with the feather
until you turn to one side Of the bed, but
without waking. When you are beyond
the middle of the bed he gently rolls the
sheet until it is close to you, and then he
goes to the other side of your couch and,
with buzz and feather, at length causes
you to turn the other way.
when you have rolled yourself clear
Of the sheet he gathers it up, and if he is
on a real p~lundering expedition he is off
at once. But when we make a bet with
our friends we generally have another
sheet put in the place of the stolen one,
which is done by a continuance Of the
process I've described"

FOND OF HUNTING.
A Queer Specimen of Humanity En-
conntered in North Carolina.

Wild Medford was an old hunter of
North Carolina, who had many stories to
tell, and a lingo of his own in which to
tell them. The author of "The Heart of
the Alleghanies asked him whether a
black bear would ever attack a man. Gilt
ponds on circumstances was the an
swer. "He wouldn't tech the illest hu-
man less he was cornered an he'd to

A MANS IDEA OF HOME COM.
FORT.

A man wants some one place in home
that he can call his very own, some por-
ton of the house where his will is law,
where no conflict of authority can arise.
This is not altogether for the purpose of
securing solitude, for his family is usually
most welcome there, but the need for it
springs from the desire for that sense Of
proprietorship which is his habit abroad,
and from the wish to be able to do
precisely as he pleases in at least a corner
of his own house. Here should be the
comforts that the man devises for himself,
the lounging chairs, the desk and library,
his smoking materials with license to use
them. Here he should be able to feel
absolutely at his ease, troubled by no fear
of "mussing things" no need to thread
his way anxiously through a maze Of
furniture and various decorative obstruc-
tions, trembling lest something should be
overturned and broken, and there should
be the seat of that admired disorder to
which he only has the clue. His books
and papers should be left as he leaves
them, though to the orderly female Y
they may seem to lie in hopeless confusion.
His desk may be Uttered with piles Of
books, magazines, letters, manuscripts,
everything that can possibly find a place
there, but if a woman wishes to secure to
a man one of his most cherished home
comforts, she ViU let that one lae8bd.-

Kin Yo' be a Policeman in Dis Town ?
There is only one man in the South
more envied than the colored fireman on
a locomotive, and he is the colored police
man, says the n. Y. Sun. lie is fully
cognizant of this fact, and governs himself
accordingly. One "court day" in an
Alabama town, seven or eight dusky
citizens stood staring at an officer who
had just got into his uniform for the first
time that day. He passed and repassed
them several times without a look, al
though his W father and several old
friends were among them. His desire to
hear what they had to say finally led him
to stop and demand:
"What's yo' all dom we're ?"
"Lookin'," replied one of the crowd.
"What yo' all lookin' at?"
"Lookin' at yo'."
"What about me?"
"Yo' is as fine as silk. HUI! But

A GIRLS COMPOSITION ON BOYS

Boys are men hat have got as big as
their papas, and girls is young women
that will be young ladies by and by.
Man was made before woman. When
God looked at Adam He said to Him
self: Well, I guess l can do better if I
try again" and then He made Eve. God
liked Eve so much better than Adam that
there have been more women than men
ever since. Boys are a trouble. They
are wearing on everything but soap.

A new source of intoxication has been

Of course, before it is stepped. 1t pro-

Yet not so bright as shone my lady's face,
My eyes were first to catch her radiant beauty,
And reVel In the rhythm of her grace.
These eyes of mine were likewise last to see her,
AS waning stars in paliDg beauty shone,
ana as the dancers to their COuChes hurried,
] quaffed the music of he: vic alone.
NV arms around her slender waist have fingered,
And pressed the shapcly yielo ing form divine.
While in my heart 1 selfshly exulted,
To know that this delight was solely mine.
Within the mashes of her TANGLED tIesses,

Treatment Of Cancar.

A new treatment of cancer advoca-
ted by DR.. J. Mortimer Granville con
sists In very frequent administrations
Of papain and thallin and their com
bination in the form of pills. The aim
is to get absorption of the drug, not
local action on the stomach. In can
e of that organ DR.. Mortimer Gran
vile gives, besides the pills, papain
suspended in water with thallin and an
alkali. The patient must be fed ex-
clusively on a vegetable diet. The
vitality of the morbid growth seems to
be depressed by s~aturation with the
thallin and papain, locally, and this is
effected by applying a strong paste Of
the two drugs in combination, or,
where practicable, by their Injunction.
