Opportunity Often Makes the Thief.

portunity to grasp some thing transforms
Il man into thief for the first time. In
the dusk of recent afternoon, says
New York letter to the Cincinnati En-
quirer, young woman stood on the
corner Of cross street in Fifth avenue,
apparently awaiting the arrival of
friend. The avenue was by no means
deserted, and it was natural that the
young girl should feel secure. The
slender figure of q youth approached
through the cross street. He was tIot-
ting carelessly along, and, as he wore
small cap with visor, it would be
believed that he was messenger boy
fastening with message. He crossed
the avenue and was running by the girl,
the latter not dreaming that he contcm-
plated a theft. But just the instant the
girl was reached the youth reached out
and whipped her purse away from her,
the girl having it clasped in her hands
in the manner so popular and fatal with
all of her sex. The young thief never
paused, yet he did not quicken his pace
as he left the screaming girl behind.
Many passers- by ran to the victims as.
sistance, but no one started for the
thief, and before she found her voice
to tell what had happened he had
turned into adway and became lost
in the crowd. don't think he was a
occasional thief.

trying ordeals which fashionable society i'm
poses on its devotees, and which are enough
to test the physical strength and endurance
Of the most robust, you break down, lose
your health and become a physical wreck,
as thousands do from such causesa
Under such circumstances you would
willingly give all your jewels and all your
laces to regain lost health. This you can do
if you will but resort to the use of that
great restorative known as DR.. Pierces Fa-

women bless the day it was made known to
them.
For all those arrangements, irregularities

Identification at n Bank.

One thing that paying-teler must
be very careful about is the matter of
Identification of persons who present
checks. In the case of small checks
say of 500 or less--a personal idcn-
tificaton is not always required. Ii the
applicant seems call right" and can
show marriage certificate containing
his name, or any similar document not
likely to be in the possession of any but
the rightful owner, the money is paid
over. Caleb b. Bradbury, one of the
oldest bank tellers in Boston, has had
men show him their name, marked on
their linen or engraved on watch case.
On anything like large amount, how
ever, formal Identification is rigidly
insisted upon, no matter how much tho
applicant may protest or how angry he
may be at what he sometimes denonnces
- impertinence. -B3ston Herald.

AFFAIRS OF AMERICAN WOMEN

A MAN who was carting away ashes

ope containing check for Ss,375 paya-
BILE to Mrs. Whitney. He promptly re-
turned it and was handsomely rewarded.

ed with palms, ferns, hanging vines,

Mrs. GARFIELD is rich, besides having
5000 year as the widow of Presi-
dent. Her daughter, Mrs. Stanley
Brown, has purchased q fine lot in
Washington suburb upon which she
will build house, where. it is believed,
Mrs. Garfield will take up her residence
with her.

WOMEN IN ITALY.

intellectually They Con,pire Very Unfa-
vorabIy with American Women.
Till 1900 any lady who could write her
signature was supposed to make no 9TH
or use of her accomplishment except in
the writing OF love letters, not much to
her ultimate benefit. This explains in
great measure the view taken of wom
en- in Italy and the position they allow
themselves to occupy. Innocence was
supposed TO be only compatible with
ignorance.
There are for middle-class girls three
kinds of schools; the convent schools,
where nuns teach, chiefly embroider-
ing flowers, and religion not its his
tory, but practical devotions.
The government schools do not
answer to our high schools, and are
not nearly so good, The terms are low,
from FIVE or six francs month. These
attempt to teach the natural sciences,
but they are all badly organized. The
teaching is very poorly paid, and is not
appreciated. There are examinations,
and the schools work up for any thing
they just happen to have set before them
for the time being, so that there is no
firm basis of mental culture. There are
thre e or four so-called superior schools,
wo of which are in Rome (Scuola
Femminilia Superioral, and these are
not much better. There is The most

ton of girls, and with that the adj
