More IburgIariel.

Eor several days past the gang Of house
breakers which has been accustomed to ply
their trade in this city have been in state
of retirement. Night before last, however,
they came to the front once more, the scene
of their operations this time being the resi-
dence of e. l.. Shugart at the corner of
First avenue and Sixth street. Mr.. Shu-
CART went home at about midnight. and
1T is supposed that the marauders
were in the house at that time, as number
OF articles were lying untouched which are
commonly supposed to be dear to burglars
hearts. AS II was, sealskin cloak aud muff
of Mrs. Shugarts, watch and chain and an
overcoat were taken. A dozen silver dessert
knives were also missing, but one of them
was found just outside the back door, where
1T had evidently been dropped while the
thieves were flying.
How the entrance was effected is not posi-
lively KNOWN as there are no rks of vo-
lence anywhere to show that forcibe entry
had been made.
The doors were all fastened when the fam
lily retired for the night, and it is thought
that the burglars got in through woodooX
which opens into both the woods ned and the
kitchen.

There is gang of sneak thieves in the
western part of the city that has for some
time past been annoying the better classes of
that vicinity by their lawless actions. The

How to Eat Bananas at the Table.

Bananas ought never to be peeled en-
tirely and the skinned fruit taken in the
fingers. This is not nice at all. It is
admissible to peel the fruit gradually,
eating it as it is peeled; it is better, in
this case, to nearly sever the mouthful
with the fruit knife before attempting
the bite, as it Is never elegant to leave
the print of the teeth in any article OF
food. Very dainty folk, however, object
even to this way Of eating the fruit, as
after one or two mouthfuls the skin
hangs over the hand in an undesirable
way. Such prefer to cut the banana
through longitudinally, skin and all,
and then with spoon or fork, preferably
the former, take out small portions at q
