! wby the piospooSets Have Left Paris.

One Of the curious consequences OF
the infallibility of the anthropometrlc
system of identification is the almost
complete disappearance of international
pickpockets from Paris. Eight years
AGO 100 of them were arrested there
yearly; by 1887 the number had fallen
to thirty four; it did not exceed dozen
during the past year. Being satisfied
that it has become impossible for them
to hide their antecedcnts in case of arrest,
and fearing also the increase Of punish
menc inflicted on habitual criminals and
on those who have disobeyed decree OF
expulsion, they prefer now to remain, OF
their own accord, in foreign capitals
ave have our choice" they say; 1--WE
are not bound to our native soil by
ignorance of foreign language. If we
hesitate between two fields of la5or-the
one at Paris during the opening OF the
Exposition, the other at London during
a regetta, the difference of punishment
in case of accident will suffice to turn Us
from your capital; pray excuse us"
Thee remarks, which were made to me
in 1887 by the leader Of gang, have
been repeated several times. After
little incredulity on the part OF some OF
the police. authorities, the fact of the dis
appearance of pickpockets and the truth
of the explanation that give OF it, have
been confirmed officially, notably by NJ.

FASHION NOTES.

Epingle velvet, having corded elges,
is to be worn on summer gowns.
Shell designs OF cream India are rare
and delightfully."- cool in appearance.
The newest engagcmcnt-ring is vel.
low diamond set in iron cnameled dull
blue.
The metalized ribbons this season are
very handsome, and some are exquisitely
embroidered.
The Parisians are now making copies
of natural palms for house decoration
even the root is initiated as closely from
life as molding and india-rubbcr make it
possible.
Blazer suits will not be set aside. The
blazers are cut bit longer than last
year, but not so noticcably as to forbid
the old ones reappeariug for another
summer campaign where they may have
survived the last.
An art-lov;ng invalid ornaments her
note paper with a small photograph Of
her pretty self at the top, thus saving
elaborate description of chow she il
now" Around each tiny picture is .
pen-and ink drawing OF some spring
flower.
The shirt suits 50 popular with ladiel
last summer will be worn By little girls
this year, the shirts being of wash silk,
the skirts and sleeveless jackets of cash
mere or other fine wool. Plated rufile,
of the silk will trim the skirts. Tho
style will afford some of the prettiest
dressing Of the coming season.
Distinctly picturesque is a short gowa
of striped cream silk. The bodice is
yelled with cream crepe, which is gath
cred into a yoke of unprecedented
GALLON, and at the waist into glrdle
of the same. The draperics that fall
around the sleeve are fringed in cream
silk, and sash ends Of the same fall over
the girdle in front.
A pretty and inexpensive costume can
be made by using dove gray Henrietta
cloth lightly drarod over bell fourda'
ton skirt. Trim the bodice and side OF
the skirt with dovc-gray ribbons run
through silver buckles; gray silk para

Indlscrect.

1t is not difficult to imagine TINT the
goddess of liberty smiled gently and
indulgently rs they made their way up
the walk to the capitol. And when
they entered the hall where the whisper
ing gallery is, the sight seers all seemed
to pause as if they had heard Cupid
flap his wings. The moment of interest
didn't seem to attract them much and
at last they found cozy nook behind
in a corner where the crowd could not
jostle them and where they were safe
from even the stare of the Stairway
marble eyes.
Darling" he whispered, eve are at
last alone. You have told me often,
but l want to hear it again. Tell me
that you love me-"
Her lips parted, but as ne awaited
her reply there came the words in a
hoarse, british voice.
"You can bet your life I dol"
They looked once into each others
startled face and fled. They had struck
the whispering gallery and there was
an audience at the other end Of the
line.

When Sonsihinn Gets in Your Eye.

The following advice, given to watch
makers by the Theological Rccier, may
be useful to other people also to whom a
similar accident is liable TO occur: 1t
happens occasionally, while turning, that
a splinter Of the metal will fly into and
firmly lodge in the eye. Never try to
cxpcI it by rubbing, as that simply irri-
tatcs the eye and drives the chip still
further into it. 1t is better to draw the
upper lid over the lower, SO that when
returning to its place the lid slides over
the lower eyclashes, which will sweep it
clean, as it were. This process will, in
the majority OF cases, suffice to remove
the splinter or other foreign body; il
not, the object may be got out with 4
strip of white paper or canei's-hair
brush. Never, however, let any one use
a hard instrument. If the case requires
this, it is most advisable to send for or
90 to a physician.

Peculiar Custums Of the Lasca,

Some of the peculiar customs Of the
East Indian coolies, called Lascars, are
very amusing to Americans For instance,
they always eat their food in the open
AR, with their faces toward the west;
and the greatest Insult white man or
"Giaour' can offer them is to walk be-
tween them aud the sun while they are
eating, causing his shallow to fall on their
food, which Immediately becomes IN
clean.
Their appearance is rendered peculiar
by their habit OF shaving their heads,
leaving but one tuft at the side for "the
prophet" to drag them into Paradise by.
When married, they wear ring on
their big toe. They stand the cold re-
markably well, and make good sailors,
being as active as monkeys. In running
aloft they ignore the ratlincs and use the
back stays, peculiar wire rope, which
they literally walk up.-NeU York Jour-

The India Rubber Tree.

Few plants arc so we'll adapted for
home decoration az is the India rubber
tree and few are so readily grown and
cared for, or will produce the same ex-
ccllent effect if displayed among other
plants. Especially attractive arc the
white, and the golden variegated form,
the latter being the best. The gold
band about the leaves is an inch wide
and forms a beautiful contrast to the
dark shining green Of the centre. a de-
sirable species of this genus is F. Stipu-
lata. q handsome climber with small,
round, dark green leaves that will cling
tenaciously to any rough surface. It is
excellent for conservatory decoration,
where it can remain permanently. The
leaves OF these plants, not being nu-
merous, can be readily kept free from
dust by wiping with moist sponge.
This should also be done with palms and
all large leavcd plants, at least once a
week.-Ne,c York Observer.

THE WAY TO IMPROVE DAIRY STOCK

THE WAY TO IMPROVE DAIRY STOCK.
To advise dairymen to raise the heifer
calves from their best COWS and thus try
to make a steady Improvement in the
quality of their dairy stock is always in
order. Though not universally followed
by this class, we think that the great
majority of :he best and most successful
dairymen adopt this course. But there
are times when, though their intentions
are all right, they can accomplish but
little in this direction. Their best COWS
persist in dropping bull calves, and 50
the theory in which they would like to
work out cannot be followed. A report
comes from a town in one of the Western
dairy districts, in which out Of twenty
seven calves dropped only five were
heifers, and in other herds in the vicinity
there has been only about the same pro-
portion. This is discouraging to those
who want to raise heifers, but until some
methcd Of controlling sex is discovered
there will occasionally be reasons in which
such untowari conditions will prevail

A Deem OIL Well.

The Wheeling Development Company,
composed Of local manufacturers who are
anxious to discover natural gas in the
vicinity Of Wheeling, w. Va, have
drilled well 410S feet deep on 3oggs
run, a mile out of town. The drilling
had been abandoned, but it will be re-
sumei and the hole punched or down
till depth OF $3.50 feet, or one mile, is
reached. This will be the deepest well
in the United States, and will pass through
the corniferous rock under which all oil
and gas in Canada is located. The

cided TO assist in bearing the expense for
the sake Of being permitIEi to procure

Sfpats and Weasels.

An increasing business is being done
in the expectation from England OF
stoats and weases to New Zealand and
the Australian colonies. So far as New
Zealand is concerned, the supervision Of
this trade is undertaken in London by
the Loan and Mercantile Agency of that
colony, who are still able TO make good
proft after as much as five or six shillings
a head has been paid to the trappers, in
addition to the not incousiderable cost
of transport. A London correspondent
has seen at Waterloo station a consign-
mcnt Of 500 of these little animals, in
tended for shipment to Wellington in the
Kalkoura. This is the fourth lot received
at the South Western terminus alone

rERMAyEycE or TIE BLONDE TYPE.

The scale OF evidence as to the perma
neDce Of the blonde type Of beauty has
long been wavering. Il is made to re-
cord an affirmative by the researches Of
Dr. Shoemaker, Of Philadelphia, who
has studied the history Of beauty types
in all ancient nations. While there have
always been more bruncttes than blondes,
he finds that the latter have always held
their own in the evolution of perfect
types. Wherever the greatest number
of races mingled the type Of feminine
beauty evolved was highest Hence Dr..
Shoemaker has hopes that in America,
where innumerable currents Of race AMI
nationality arc coalescing, the women Of
the future will be surprisingly fair. Bat
there will, he assures us, be room for all
types of loneliness. Fer "nature has
within her power infinite resources, and
as variety is one of her most signal,
ever-pleasing charms, it is not to be sup
posed that she will limit it in the at
tributes OF the fairest Of her produc-
tons. "-Ne,o Orleans PicGyuHs.

BUTTONS BAN1suED FOR A TINE.


"There's nothing doing in buttons,
said a bright faced young miss at the no.
ton counter in one Of the big dry goods
bazars, to STIR. S1yings man intent upon
studying by flash light, as it WERE a
few of the huctuating vagaries OF fash
ion. "Thcre's nothing doing in buttons
as are buttons" that is buttons for orna-
mental purposes. Fashion frowns upon
the button trade. The button makers
are melancholy and they have right to
be, for womcn's clothing is now made
either to fastcn with passementerie braid
or other loops, or with concealed but
tons. When buttons are exposed on a
woman's gown they are apt to be especial
" made, or covered with the goods OF
which the gowns are made.
"But all this may be changed by fall,
and all those metal, horn, wood and
worstel wool and silk covered varieties
be as popular as ever" she said.-&

information leads us to believe that Governor
Russell will be reelected by handsome ma
jority."

suit the eo rts of the democracy of Erie county
E1.Presidept Cleveland was the leading speaker
at q great meeting held under the auspices of the
Young Mems Democratic Club of Massachusetts,
in Boston, Saturday night. He received great
ovation, nnd after the meeting vas entertained at
dinner.
Both the democrats and republicans on the eve
of the election are claiming everything il sight
in all tho FIVE doubtful States to-morrow. The
democrats say they will carry Pennsylvsnis by
large majority. In Massachusetts there seems to
no method Of making any calculation as to the
result, and is appears to be the toss Of copper
for or against Governor Russell. In Flew York,
Clover looks like safe winner. Major MtKin-
ley claimed in speech Saturday ni,ht that ne
would have 10000 majority in Ohio, but his
most ssguine friends hope for little more than
10000. Governor Campbell claims 1000 ma
jority and the Legislature. Iowa seems to have
about made up her mind to re- elect Governor
Boies, although the republicans do not ,concede
their defeet.
