But it is at weddings chiefly that the
society kleptomaniacs get in their work.
At large affairs OF the kind we are
sometimes called upon to furnish as
many as three men-one to walk about
in the room where the presents are
exposed, another to stand by the
diamonds and a third to remain out
side on the sidewalk, for the purpose
of keeping professional thieves from
entering the house. 1t is fact that
thieves in the regular line of business
carefully watch the announcements Of
swell weddings with view to robbery.
Ny observation has shown that klep
tomania is actually disease. 1t is
much more common among women
than men. Furthermore it Is in sense
inherited, and the investigation in
many cases has tended to show that
longings on the part of mother will
thus effect her unborn child. So
thoroughly am convinced that victims
of it are not responsible that l always
try to protect them from exposure.
They steal not from any necessity, but
from morbid fancy. At the same time
they come under the head OF oppor
tunity thieves-they only yield to the
temptation when good chances offer,
and they think they are secure from

cotton wool into a glass receiver, it is
deprived OF all Its dust particles. Let
steam be introduced into this receiver
from a boiler, 10 change will be OBJ
served the vessel is quite transparent.
But if jet of steam be introduced into
similar vessel containing ordinary air,
it will be seen rising in a dense cloud
then beautiful fog will be formed, so
dense that it cannot be seen through.
In the former case, when there was no
dust in suspension, the air remained
clear in the latter case, when the ordi-
nary atmospheric dust was in the yes
sci, fog at once appeared. The invisible
dust then is detected by the introduce
ton of water vapor.
Until very lately it was thought that
particles of water vapor combined with
each other to form a cloud particle, but
1t is now found that some solid, body,
however small, is required for this
formation. In fact, when there are no
dust particles on which the water vapor
at proper temperature and pressure
can condense, there is at present no
knowledge as to the point at which the
change will take place. But the fine
particles of dust in the air act as free
surfaces on which the water vapor con-
denses INTO fog. When there is abund-
ance of dust in the air and little water
vapor present there is an overpropor-
ton of dust particles, and the fog par
ticles are in consequence closely pack
ed, but light in form and small IN size,
and take the lighter appearance of fog.
Accordingly, If the dust is increased in
the air, there is a proportlonate ln-
crease of fog.
But on the other hand if the dust
particles are fewer in proportion 10 the
number of molecules of water vapor,
each particles soon gets weighted,
springs into visible existence as if By
creative hand, and falls in mist or ram.
If the water vapor had no dust at all
on which to settle, it would use the
objects on the surface OF the ground
for the same end, as the grass, leaves,
tree branches or house projections.
Moisture would then be ever dripping.
The occasional gentle rain, though at
times lashed rp to biting storm of
sleet, would require to give place to =
constant wetness on the roads and
grass.
Umbrellas would not be needed, but
india rubber protectors for the feet and
legs would be in constant requlsition.

WHAT SHALL A GIRL READ ?

With many girls reading is largely
matter OF opportunity; some lack
the means of procuring many books,
or more frequently still, the time
necessary for the mastery or enjoy
ment of the hopeful volume; or,
saddest of all, the taste or apprecia
ton of what is beautiful and ennob
ling in literature is lacking. This is
the heaviest bolt on the gate ofknow-
ledge, for no amount of recommend
alton can give one enjoyment Of a
book, and in mental, as In physical
food, We are profted only by what
we assimilate. But it is just for
those who feel both longing and
limitation that this article is written ;
simply to act as finger r-post, indi-
eating in what direction true mental
culture may be reached.
Bear in mind that there are pass
ing books and Listing books, books
OF the day and books for all time.
Help and pleasure are to be found
in both, but the manner of reading
them will differ. The one kind
furnishes comparatively easy read
ing, because more on the level with
our own knowledge and experience;
but the latest book, or most excel
lent magazines, should not occupy
the time to the exclusion of the
older author, who, according to
Ruskin. often give you their thought
more by way of reward than of help,
just as nature does not spread her
gold upon the surface, but let us
search and dig, or crush the rock to
get the precious ore. Do some
reading that requires thought and
labor.

PRACTICAL HOME TRAINING

When manual training, with its
domestic economy department of
cooking and sewing, was being
urged as a necessary part of public
school training, teachers and wise
men brought forward the argument,
that it is not needtul for mothers to
teach these things, writes Miss Grace
Dodge in a carefully prepared paper
on this most important subject.
From every city came the answer,
mothers do not teach these branches,
and our girls are being brought up
without practical household training.

THE VALUE OF DUST.
Its Particles Form Free Surfaces
for the Collection of VapOr.

How can invisible particles be
brought within the range OF our vision ?
That was one OF the first of the many
marvellous discoveries of MIR. John
Aiken, F. r. S., Falkirk, distinguish
physicist, whose remarkable work has
revolutionized branch of fmeteorology.
He showed that without dust in the air
there could be no fogs, no mist, no
cloud and probably no rain. The
particles of dust are the free surfaces,
which, under certain conditions, attract
the water vapor of the atmosphere to
form fog. Invisihl4c2. hefe-a'.-, -. :,

I'll come again next summer, said
Ann, but could not be induced to
remain.
She presented herself at the par
sonage and proposed to take the
baby out for ride. The child took
to her at once, He seemed like
another child when she brought him
back. At the almost abject solicita-
ton of the minister and his wife she
staid a week. The doctor said she
had done more for the child than all
the medicine in the world could do.
Somehow, in addition she managed
to be of service to every one else IN

One day Mr.. Semple, in her pres

there half an hour before Miss Chal-

their relief they found that the i'll
ness was of trihing nature, and not
the dreaded diptheria. Ann staid
ten days. Pm needed here, she
said. They've got to be put all to
rights.
AT the end of three weeks she an
nounced that she must return to the
city. Mr.. Semple invited her to
stay with them as long as she
pleased. The minister's wife said,
with tears in her eyes, if you will
stay and see the baby through the
hot weather we will pay you any
price.
Mr.. Pettigrew offered her home
for life. I've got no one but myself,
she said, an I'll do we'll by you.
But Ann declined all invitations
and withstood all inducements.
Every one was at the depot to see
off. The men shook hands with her,
and the women kissed her.
She made them a little speech
standing on the platform OF the
car. You folks must take care Of

too separate. You'd like living here
better if you'd live SO as to be more
