SeWed to the elastic are number OF
small steel hooks, on which the stolen
articles are hung.
He had apprehended the French
woman. he said. arresting her for her
suspicious actions principally, and when
she was searched by q girl detective
gold chain, pair Of sleeve buttons on
card, a silk handkerchief, and length
of valuable lace were among the artl-
cles found hung to her garters like
clothes on a line. The ''ring and glove"
is another trick which has become very
popular of late among both amateur
and professional women shoplifters.
1t is usually worked at jewelry stores
where the size of the article to be stolen
is in inverse ratio to its price. The shop
litter, IL working this trick, carries a
pair of gauntlet gloves IN her left hand,
SC disposing them that the wrist open
ing Of the upper glove is tapped open
like the mouth of q small bag.
Approaching the jeWelry counter, the
fair thief, who is generally SO daintily
dressed as to avert suspicion, picks up
ring in her right hand, and examines
it intentlv. Gradually she moves it
about until she holds the ring directly
over the openingin the glove, and about
a loot above 1T. when the clerk turns
his head she let's the ring fall into the
opening and goes on examining a second
ring which she has picked up with the
first one, but has heretofore kept con-
cealed under her fingers.
After a time she lays this second ring
down, saying she does not like it, and
walks away.
Another new trick is to pick up an
empty paper bag, such as is used in the
store, and dstend it by blowing into it,
SO that it looks. as if it were full. The
air is replaced with stolen articles as OPP
portunitv offers.
Woman who carry babies into the big
stores are being closely watched of late,
the detective says, as the youngsters
are nowadays made the inocent confed-
crates Of their shoplifting mammas. The
baby is carried on the left arm in this
trick, the mother arranging the long
clothing in such way as to make a
huge pocket, into which she stuffs
everything she can lay DER hands on.
When caught they use the baby to gain
sympathy, the detective says, and are
usually successful in getting off by pay
ing for the pilfered articles.

MRS. LOGAN'S UNIVERSITY.

Mrs. General Logan is trying to
raise a million dollars to endow an
American university that shall recog-
nize men and women on precisely the
same footing either as students or
teachers or professors, the sole test
being competency. 10 this purpose
she proposes to organize a national
society that shall be under the con-
troll of a national president and vice
presidents. This is a noble project.
Nothing can be greater than a plan
that enables people to obtain d higher
education. But even above this is
that which enables them to preserve
at all times vigorous health. Most
people break down with pulmonary
troubles while pursuing their studies.
1t is this which gives point to the
craze for athletic pursuits that is now
the bane of many of our colleges. A.
better way is to take that excellent
remedy, REID's GERMAN CoUGH AND
KIDNEY CURE. This is especially
calculated for people who pursue sed
entary callings, as we'll as those who
are exposed to the open air, and there
by take cold. Get it of any druggist.

Clear Proof.

A story is told by writer in Harper's
Magazine, of trial for burglary in
which one Of the jurymen seemed to be
so certain of the prisoners innocence
and pleaded for him so eloquently and
convincingly, that the eleven others
| (who had no particular bias either way
allowed themselves to be argued into
returning verdict of mot guilty." A
few days later fresh facts came to light,
which proved the accused mans in
nocence beyond a doubt; and one of
the eleven jurymen, happening to meet
with the man who had so powerfully
influenced them all, thanked him
warmly for having saved them from the
commission of a great injustice.
"And yet, now I think of it," he
added, ''you could not have known
anything about these new facts, SO how
could YOU be SO sure that the man was
innocent"
WELL" replied the other, "my chief
reason for thinking that he did not COM
NIT the crime was that l committed it
myself
Such authority was certainly not to be
disputed; but yet more startling case
of the same kind occurred not many
years ago il Paris, at the first repre-
sentation of a tragedy that had for its
closing scene the murder of Swedish
king, which had taken place nearly half
q century earlier. Ali went we'll till the
murder scene came on, when a very
dignifed old gentleman in the stage box
showed signs of strong dissatisfaction,
and at length called out angrily:
absurd they've got it all wrongn'
The manager himself heard this plain
spoken comment, and being naturally
disturbed by so sweeping a condemna-
ton, he sought out the critic, and
politely begged him to know what fault
he had to find with it.
"Why, my good SIR cried the old
man, with an air of authority, 'the
whole grouping of the scene is incorrect.
You have made them kill the king to the
right of the door, whereas we murdered
him on the left!'

1t Will Follow the Elephant.

An article of Mr.. Baden in the last
proceedings of the British Geological
Society says the days Of the giraffe are
numbered. A few years ago herds OF
seventy Or eighty of them were often
met in various parts of Africa. Baden
says that nineteen CRATES are now
mercilessly. both by native and foreign
sportsmen, that they are rapidly be-
coming extinct. The intelligent African
king, Khama, has, however, taken the
giraffe under his protection, and hopes
to save it froEl determination.
He has forbidden the hunting of the
giraffe in his large domain, and in this
way he hopes they will multiply IN his
country. 1t is an interesting fact that
Russia has preserved the European
bison from extinction by setting apart
a forest in Lithuania for them and per-
mitting no one to modest them.-Geo-

A Weird Sight IN a Cemetery.

Thomas Stevens the well-known Rus
sian traveller, thus describes a singular
grave in convent cemetery at st. Pc
tersburg: The weirdest thing in the
cemetery was a grave that was simply a
glass house, containing vault or cellar
with trap door and steps leading down
into it. The sister told us its story.
After twenty years of married life, dur
ing which their prayers for offspring
had been unanswered, couple were
finally presented with a daughter in
1873. Three years later the newcomer
died. The unhappy parents had the
body embalmed and placed in coffin
with a glass opening above the face.
The tomb in question was built and the
coffin deposited in the crypt. Every
day for fourteen years past the mother
had visited the house, descended
through the trap-door and spent some
time looking into the lace OF the little
one through the glass.

SHE GOT THE DOLLAR,
If That Was Her Purpose She Acted Re
Part Well.

If That Was Her Purpose She Acted Ger
Part Well.
Occasionally, in the gamut of familiar
notes which are sounded on the harp of
humanity in this big city, there rings
one that is neW-some marked varia-
ton on an old theme. Beggars are q
familiar object, and the direct appeals
which are made TO sympathy are such
palpable attempts to play on feeling
that one becomes hardened to them.
A novelty of this kind occurred the
other night as gentleman was passing
through West Twentyfourth Street,
says the New York World. The clock
was striking midnight. He saw sitting
on the lower steps of a brown stone
house woman. She was dressed poor
ly, she was about so, and there was the
droop of WEAKNESS in her spare, bowed
figure. A small paper box and q few
papers were resting on the steps in
front Of her.
The gentleman stopped and asked
"Why don't you 60 home?''
ooh, just set down to rest myself"
she replied, simply.
"TIave you got a bed to go to? Do
you want any money?' inquired the
gentlemen.
ooh, mol I don't want anything ex-
cept to rest few minutes" she re-
turned in the same weary tone, but
with no air of counting sympathy.
A poor old woman who declined the
offer of money is rather surprising
object, especially when her appearance
speaks of poverty and age and weari-
ness. But if size were Independent
enough to wish to avoid aims it seemed
as though she had a right to her few
moments rest on the hard, hot steps.
So the gentleman passed on.
But her looks, her tone, the hour of
the night, all worked on the man. He
felt that he ought to give the woman
something. He went back. She was
still dropping on the steps.
81 think you had better take this"
he said, putting some money in her
hand.
"Why, what is this!" she exclaimed,
lingering it. ga dollar You can't at
ford this. | never can repay you."
But the man was on his way again.
And as he passed along he thought, II
wonder if that could have been new
bluff"
But it probably wasn't. There are no
Bernhardts sitting around on doorsteps
at night, and the thing was too beauti-
fully done if it were acting to be any,
thing short of the highest art.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
The Soldier Made Capture, But 1t was
the Wrong Hog.

The Soldier Made Capture, But 1t was
the Wrong Hog.
A Rhode Island soldier, while on
picket guard, was rushed upon by a
party of Confederate calvalry. He fired
at the foremost of them and ran. Ee
fore him was an open field about fifty
yards across, bounded by an old log
fence, and beyond that a thicket of
briers and underbrush. For this bushy
retreat the soldier started, a half dozen
horsemen after him. Fortunately for
the fugitive, the rains had softened
the soil, and the horses slumped through
the turf SO badly that pursuit was slow.
A pistol ball passed through the run
ner's hat, but he reached the fence, and
with one bound landed on the top, in
tending to give long spring ahead;
but the old fence cru1nbled beneath his
weight and down he went.
But luck favored him again, for hog
had rooted out gutter at this place,
and at the moment was lying in it. The
soldier fell plump into the hole, and the
frightened hog uttered one squeal and
scampered into the underbrush, leaving
the newcomer in possession of the
wallow and buried underneath the
debris of the fence.
A minute more and up dashed the
horsemen. Hearing the rustic of the
fleeing hog in the bushes, they supposed
it to be the picket, and dashed through
the gap in the fence and fastened on.
When they were we'll out of sight, the
fugitive crawled out of the mud hole
and ran back to camp.
The following day one of the same
horsemen was taken prisoner. Our
hero recognized him at once.
81 say" he asked, "did you catch
that hog Yesterday"
1--WE did that" retorted the prisoner,
"but it wasn't the one we were after"
