Small babies usually wear long
clothes and in their shirts stolen arti-
cles are concealed. Here is curious
thing that | often think of: There are
probably thousand grown-up people
walking the streets of this city who
when they were infants were carried
into the big stores TO be rcceptacles
for stolen goods. BY their mothers?
Not necessarily. Babies are often
borrowed or rented for this purpose.
The baby trick is nothing more than
carrying an infant into store for the
express purpose of concealing stolen
goods in its long shirts.
"The umbrella trick is much more
common. lis name almost explains
it. Instead Of baby the woman
carries an umbrella, and the stolen ar
tlcles are dropped into it. Much larg-
er things may be carried off in this
way than you would imagine. Tho
gauntlet trick is device for the wor-
riment of the jewelry counters. The
thief in this case carries long glove,
and some small but valuable articles
drops into it--.Gccidcntally, of course.
"Thc shawl trick requires so much
2. T.. Il
except by experts. A camefs hair
shawl is the favJritc, for there is an
air of Responsibility about camcPs
hair. While the clerks back is turned
a valuable piece of silk disappears
within the folds of tho shawl. The
shoplifter's bag was once q great fa-
vorite with women thieves, 1t was
simply a large bag suspended from the
waist, but with spring attachment
by which it could be opened or closed
by hand carried in the pocket.
Many valuable article has disap-
pearcd in shoplifter's bag; but the
carrying of such bag has been made
q criminal offence in this state, and
now two smaller bags, one on each
side, are substituted for it. You can
see now why the store dctectiue must
have eyes not only all around his
head, but in his Knees, elbows, heels
and the tail of his coat.-[New York

The Rag Pickers of Paris.

The number of rag pickers at work
every morning in Paris is said to DO
10000; today that many men and
women are getting a living ont of the
refuse and rubbish that is thrown
away at night by $500, 900 of inhabi-
tants. | is estimated, writes Henry
Haynie, that the weight of hair which
falls from combs, and which the chif-
fonniers collect each morning, is 600
pounds. This sells at 40 cents per
pound in the hair market; the sale of
wooden shrcds, or that of other stuils,
figures each year at 5000, 900, and that
of bones amounts to twice as much.
Some of these chiffonniers are kings
of rag pickers. One such has made a
small fortune by specializing i'll old
sardnc boxes.
Another is proprietor of dozen
houses in the Champs Elysees. | do
not mean to say that he owns SIX
buildings in that aristocratic neigh
borhood, but no one except him can
touch their rubbish and refuse. Somo
RAG pickers have clerks and these are
called "chillcrtons. They are APP
prcnticcs and are paid daily wages.
As much as fifteen cents Il day is paid
TO some of them, and they are permit
ted to eat what they like out of the
basket. Often they work so hard that
they starve to death, for the industry is
not ovorprofitable. 1t is with much
difficulty that rag pickcrs make both
ends meet and, though they have to
pay nothing for their license, they do
have to pay rent for their miserable
cabins. You will find more children
i'll the rag pickers' quarter than you
will in any other quarter of Paris, that
is to say in proportion to their num-
ber.- New Orleans Picayune.

A strange sight met my eyes one
morning on going into the orchard,
writes a correspondent. Seeing
largo black hen struggling to swallow
an object supposed to be a snake,
my surprise was greater upon closer
inspection at seeing young robin,
nearly void of feathers, with part of
the head and neck eaten away. The
hen had evidently found it under the
nest in the apple tree, and was max
ing good use of her victim; her thirst
for blood was aroused, and she was
struggling to get it down her throat
before some other hen or myself
should catch her in the act. We see
strange things happen sometimes

Tricks of Thieves in City Stores.

"Thc baby trick" said a detective
connected with big New York store
to a Sun reporter, 'is as old as ciyili-
cation, but it is still in use. If you
were to come in here intending TO rob
the store, or any male person dressed
in ordinary mans costume, you would
have q poor chance, because you have
nothing about you to conceal goods IN.
Your clothes are too snug. You
might drop knife into your pocket,
or ring, or some other small article; !;
but what could yog do with a piece of
silk? The first requisites is flowing
drapcry, and in the baby trick the
baby carries Ahe drapery.

WOOD RIVER TIMES
HALEY. IDAHO.
THE SHERlFFS OF IDAHO GET In
THEIR WORK.

A bill WAS introduced in the House
by Mr.. Mills in conformity with the
Governors recommendation, provid.
ing for the co"veyan Of insane to the
asylum by the employees of that ,nsti.
tuition, instead of the sheriff and hi,
deputies as is the present law.
The bill passed the House, hut the
sheriffs got their work in on the
Popul,.t aud Democratic senators,
and they defeatedit it. To the thoughts
ful mind it is a sad commentary upon
republican institutions that a party
which p'ocla,ms itself to be acting in
the interest of reform should defeat a
measure which carries with il, no,
only economy, but the elements of
humanity as well.
No enc among 10 knows but that
their wife, mother or sister, or even
themselves may be adjudged candi
dates for incarceration IN the sylum
for the insane, and who among US
would not feel better to have mother,
wife or site: conveyed there BY q
female attendant who appreciated
aud WAS qualified to contend with the
vaga1its of diseased mind than to
have them consigned to the slender
me'cies" of sheriff or his deputies?
Outside Of the saving to the State,
humanity, it seems, would have
dictat d q different course to those
gentlemen who term themselves Dem>
ocra's and Populsts. But no, the
"legi,;mate pe,qulsites" Of the sheriFs'
offices i" the different counties of the
State must be considered, rather than
the francial interest of the State, or
the HON" interest Of the people who
constitute IT'S residents.
Politics do not or should not enter
into such consideration Us this. The

greater shame or disgrace was inflicted

A GREAT BLUNDER.

A bill making silver the sole legal
tender for all debts hereafter con.
tracied in this State has passed one
of the houses Of the legislature.
This bill was passed IN Difference
to the popular feeling on the subject
of the free coinage OF silver. Ii tits
crysta!'ized into statute, it will be
one of the greatest b!unders which u
young commonwea lth, struggling fcr
Its very existence, could possibly
make.
Idaho is an extensive borrower.
Her State, her counties, her towns,
her school districts, and her business
men, are all in the market either as
borrowers of cash, or buyers of mer>
chandise. All other States are on a
bi-metal!ic basis, and their debts are
payable in United States currency.
Hence Idaho alone will stand on sill
YER basis. Is it. therefore, likely that
either investors or creditors will oon>
sent to deal with US any longer; that
they will agree to take their nav in
silver when they will be required to
pay in gold and silver, and when they
csn get gold and silver elsewhere?
II this bill becomes q law, there
