How Paris Dog steaIers Work.

There is a means of stealing dogs which re-
quires great dexterity. 1t consists in cut
ting the cord or chain of dogs that are led
and carrying off the animal before its
owner is aware of the theft. This is risky
dodge and does not always succeed. 1t is
generally tried in crowds and with small
dogs. These animals are always getting
between the legs of pedestrians, and their
owners-for the most part women-let go
of the string in order that the animal may
free himself Then the toutou runs from
one person to another, seeking to recognize
his mistress. If he has the misfortune to
wander few steps away he is at once
seized by the prowler, who is on the watch,
and who conceals him under his coat.
While the woman is looking for her dog in
one direction, the thief scoots off IN an
other.
When the dog is led by man, the trick
is not so easy. However, it succeeds some
times. If, when the theft is discovered,
the dog has no collar, the stealer pretends
that he found the animal wandering in the
street and is taking him TO the pound. So
the owner is obliged to go to the pound
and claim his property. This visit costs
him nine francs, two of which are given TO
the person bringing the animal there.
If the dog, when stolen, had collar end
plate bearing the owners name and address,
the thief first tries TO take it off. But if he
does not succeed he runs great risk of be
ing arrested When this case happens, he
preteuds that he was carrying the dog to
the address marked on the collar. This
excuse is not always accepted.-Paris Cor

A Young Chevalier.

A good looking young lady, with .
pair of seashore shoes on, was crossing
City Hall park the other day with the
strings of one shoe Tipping and Topping
about with every step she took. She
knew all about it, and she realized that
every man she met was looking right at
that foot, but she hadn't the nerve to
stop and tie the strings. The situation
caught the eye of small bootblack who
crossed her path, and he did the right
thing at the right time and in the neat
est manner. Running up to her he
dropped on MS knees and placed his box
for her foot. She placed it there, and he
gathered up the strings, deity tied them
into double bow knot and rose up and
dotted his cap and bowed like little
gentleman.
You are the snartest boy in New
York; she said as she reached for her
purse, and the next instant he was gal
Looping down the walk and shouting:
"Oh, jim, look-a-herel Made mash
and struck half dollar all in a minit!'

A wonderful, wonderful gift of God Is
the blessed air. 1t does not stand upon its
dignity, nor revolt at the way it is treated.
1t infolds Us every chance it gets like gar
ment; it caresses Us like cover; it dries
tears; it soothes SORROW; it hghtens attic
ton. The tortured heart, the overwrought
brain rush to the fresh air for consolation
and restoration, and always find the same
healing, the same reviving influence. The
miracle of it is always being performed;
the measure of it is every moment emptied.
yet remains always full.
We need in our daily lives a broader.
wider, truer, more general recognition of
this influence. We make virtue now of
shutting the door. ''Shut that door; shall
catch my death of cold" is an everyday
form of expression. 1t is not true; it does
not really mean anything. Often the open
door would let in the chance for life instead
of death, but the inaccurate and IL condi-
toned expression does its work neverthe-
less.
1t gives the child, TO whom it is usually
addressed, the impression that air is bad
thing; that goodness and virtue consist in
keeping it out, because of the mischief it
causes and wiekedpess in admitting 1t so
that 1t may way work its evil will
Of course it is not necessary TO sit with
open doors and windows in cold weather,
or make ourself aud others generally IN
comfortable. What we need is the recog-
milton of the virtue instead of the vice Of
fresh air, its inherent virtue, which It holds
and keeps at all times, night and day, and
which it is the first duty of man and
woman to preserve from faint and corrup-
ton by admixture from barnyard, decom-
posing refuse. or not allowing fresh air TO
take the place of dead air within doors.
If this recognition were part of the I'M
written law OF our lives, it would not need
preaching to enforce it. Children would
literally take it in with the air they
breathe, and the knowledge of it would be
as wide as the sea, the earth and the at
mosphere. -Pittsburg Bulletin.

Babies IN England.

It must be sorrowfully admitted that It
Is only the child of well to do or cultured
parents in Great Britain that is as well and
wisely cared for and that is as happy as
the child of Japan. There is no doubt
that the average of childish comfort and
happiness is very much greater in Japan
than in England. Yet a well ordered Eng
lish home is baby's paradise. There he is not
swathed in bandages and rolled in pillow
and crowned with nightcap; he is kept
always clean and sweet; he is lightly but
sufficiently clothed, and he is allowed to
kick and crow and grow strong as much
as ever he likes.
He is no longer put to bed in deep
wooden cradle set on wooden rockers, but
In light and airy bassinette, which either
is stationary or swings lightly upon hooks.
The question of stationary or moving bas-
sinette has become somewhat vexed among
mothers, many doctors favoring the opin-
ion that it is neither necessary nor desir-
able that infants should be sent to sleep
with rocking or swinging. The old rock
ing cradle had much more fearsome mo-
ton than the swinging bassinette. Rocked
by careless or energetic person 1t would
often make the baby i'll.
Indeed, there used TO be a tradition
among humble mothers Ia tradition which
still obtains in Scotland) that if the cradle
was rocked when empty the baby would
certainly be i'll when next put into it. The
rocking cradle with its great wooden hood
has had its day (and how magnificent the
height of its day was may be guessed from
the cradle of James l. that was shown in
the Stewart exhibition)-it has had its day,
and is now departing into the limbo of
things obsolete and forgotten, and thither
probably in the course of years the swing
ing bassinette will follow it.-Strand Mag

Women Not Angels.

r. is evident that woInep as we now find
them are very far from being perfect and
angelic beings. In the matter Of pecan
larry honesty, while they are far above
men, they have hitherto had far less Of
temptation or opportunity than men. In
lawiess races. as the English gypsies,
where women have great freedom, this
distinction does not exist. On the con-
trary, while the mems range of action IN
this respect goes no farther than cheating
in horse trade, 20 the women alone is in
trusted what IS known as the great trick, -
by which ali the silver Of an unsusp ectIng
family is appropriated under pretense Of
changing IL into gold.
There Is no reason 70 suppose that
women are not capable OF being dishonest.
and there Is every reason 20 suppose that
whenever they become so the recognized
sharpness Of the feminine Wit will place
them high up IA their chosen vocation
