Yellow Dust Storm.

Prof. Milne, of Toxic, records a dense
storm OF yellow dust which suddenly
covered the decks Of vessel ninety five
miles from Nagasaki, Japan, which is
upwards of 400 miles from the coast of
China. This dust was so fine that, though
composed of felspar, quartz, and few
shreds of plants, 1t did not affect the
eyes, and had not the decks been COW

taken for a peculiarly yellow fog. Yet

1ooo miles, and to have come from the
"loess" plains of China.

Plenty of Women shoplifters.

One of the commonest news items of the
day is the arrest of women for shoplifting
Scarcely a day passes without one or two
arrests being made. And these usually are
not women who are poor and needy, and
who might be forgiven perhaps but, on the
contrary, they are well dressed women who
seem to nave an abundance of money. There
is no reason why they should steal. At
least, there seems to be none, and when they
are arrested no valid excuse for their action
is given. So troublesome have these women
shoplifters become that all the big stores
have been compelled to employ large force
Of detectives and watchers.
Said manager of one of the largest es-
Establishments to me to-day: 1--WE must be
constantly on the alert. We do not, of
course, believe that all women would help
themselves to goods that do not belong to
them, but we have been painfully surprised
many times to discover who our worst enc
mics are. Many times I have seen women
deity slip piece of lace under their cloaks,
or roll up piece of fieecy material, or per-
haps some silk stockings, or gloves,
and dispose Of them so quickly in
their pockets, or about their person that
1 was amazed at their skill. We are
extremely careful before we charge a
woman or girl with shoplifting. It is very
dangerous thing to do for many reasons,
and it often happens that we have to watch
the same woman for a few weeks before
We can positively say that she has what did
not belong to her. Our usual method then
is to speak to her in gentle way, ask her
to step into one of the offices, and then be
honest with her and tell her what we know
We have never made any mistake. Our
proof has always been of the strongest. To
save her disgrace, and ourselves trouble, if
it be the first offense, we simply take our
goods away from her and request her in the
future to keep out of our establishment.
Sometimes this causes a painful scene, and
the shoplifter offers to pay for the goods
taken. 1t requires the greatest delicacy to
get them to admit that what they have
taken is our property, and very often they
threaten US with all sorts of trouble. Upon
a repetition of the offense we notify their
husbands or families and threaten them
with exposure And if they are found
stealing from US third time, we have no
hesitation in ordering their arrest 1t is a
terrible thing to do, but we must protect
ourselves. Long observation of women's
ways and methods leads me to believe that
once a shoplifter always shophfter There
seems to be something in woman's nature
that leads her from bad to worse when the
first wrong step is taken. The police au-
thorities, you know, have a theory that
only about per cent of women who go
wrong are ever reclaimed. 1t is terrible to
think of :"

Cheerful Criminal

One of the most cheerful criminals ever
held prisoner IN the gloomy
Toombs prison is Carlyle Harris, the wife
poisoner. He is an exceedingly intelligent
young man. And that he has lots of nerve
is now known to every newspaper reader
Although within the very shadow Of certain
doom, he has not lost heart. He is just
as courageous as ever. Never once has his
nerve deserted him. He does mot believe
that he viii pay the extreme penalty of the
law. He has not only great faith Sin his
lawyers, but also in the granting of new
trial. His days in prison are spent mostly
in reading, writing and smoking. He has
grown rather neshy, for he is not able to
take much exercise, but his mind is alert
and he is in the enjoyment of keen
health. He has become regular contribu-
tor to one of the Sunday newspapers, and
his articles are thoughtful and well written.
1t is quite new feature in journalism, but
then this seems TO be the day of journalism
with a big J. Next we may be treated to
symposium from lunatics in Bloomingdale on
some problem OF tomorrow, of which, no
doubt they know all FosrER Cores.

There are certain things that he elects as

Wen, as 1 said before, he wants her to be

He wants her to be dressed and to act
like a lady, for then she is greater
credit to him.
He wants her to be pleasant to any man he
introduces to her, and yet she must manage
to make that man understand that her
heart is true TO Poll, and she is only being
polite to him because the dear one wishes
it.
He wants her to like to eat the
dishes that he prefers, for then he can
chuckle and tell people how he has educated
her to being quite gourmet.
He wants her to agree with him about
theology, religion and science, and then he
can applaud himself and think how much
she has gained by aSsociating with such
clever man.
He wants her to do as he likes, dress as
he likes and think as he likes He's right;
she's weaker of body and brain than he is,

the world likes to be mastered, or else she
wouldn't be snubbed as she Is by messen-

him any more influential than ii 1t were the

Russell Sage and other men, whose for

been a soldier boy, an extensive traveller, a

voice is unlike that of any public speaker

that do not add very much to her credit
Mr.. Kendall is exceedingly dogmatic, both
on and of the stage, with the members of
his company. Many of them detest him
heartily, yet they must toll in the glare Of
the footlights uncomplainingly, for the
Rialto is thronged with men and women
who are anxious to do any sort of work on
the stage.
While in New York Mr. and Mrs. Ken
dal are being made much of in a way by
some very good people. They have the
entree to some of the best houses, and they
are often invited out to dinner and social
gatherings. Their tour has been very sue
cessful. They have made great deal of
money out of America and, like most
foreign players are eager to go home to
spend it.
