wit than intellect, and the spirituality that
is after all not soul. The face is not at all

The bascule Is a trick performed with
swiftness and precision, but is by no means
certain, and hence Is not so often en-
ployed. except in the most daring and dan
gerous localities and along the outer boule-
wards Of Paris.
LIE Coup de la Petite Chaise-the trick Of
the little chair.
In this the thief advances from behind,
putting his bent right knee in the small of
his victims back. and bending him halfway
back over Ii. His left hand holds the VIC
TINS throat. and his right reaches over the
shoulder and goes through the breast pock-
cts. taking both watch and chain. While
bent thus backward and thrown off his
equilibrium the victims blows can reach
only the knee of the thief, and the latter's
clutch on the throat makes it impossible for
him to turn. II is, of course the position
upon the knee of the thief which gives 1t its
derisive name. "the little chair"
In this in the bascule. the parting
blow, delivered as the man is falling, en-
ables the thief to make good his escape. In
this instance this is generally in the side of
the neck. and often renders the recipient
unconscious
All the boxing skill In the world will avail
one nothing in these two tricks as in both
the hands are rendered absolutely useless
The only means OF Darrying the latter at
tack is by employing a trick which the
thieves of Paris use principally In resisting

In the Coup du Pante one thief comes
quickly behind the man to be robbed.
seizes both arms and bends them both back,
at the same time. as in the bascule. hook
ing one foot in the others ankle, and thus
breaking his equilibrium. Held in this liv-
ing net, the victim of the Pante cannot
struggle, and finds it utterly impossible to
use either fists or feet.
There is one drawback to this trick, and,
indeed, to all of those named heretofore;
1t Is that the victim, from beginning to end,
can shout as Justify as he may wish. and
there Is always a large chance that his
cries may summon help before the thieves
can get away from pursuit.
1t Is this disadvantage which was respon-
sible for the invention of LIE Coup du Pere
Francois-the very ne plus ultra Of crimi-
nal ingenuity. 1t Is named after an old
and celebrated Partisan criminal who first
used it. and taught 1t to his younger con-
freres.
This is practically a new trick, but It Is
ing more and more a part Of the primary
education of the thief. Its method Is as fol-
lows:
One thief. holding by the ends q stout silk
handkerchief, throws 1t about the neck Of
the intended victim, turns his back to him
and bends far over, at the same time draw
ing tight the handkerchief and pulling the
man with 1t backward, nearly off his feet.
The victim, feeling the handkerchief strang-
ling him. cannot make the least sound, and
his hands try to seize the silk to keep from
choking. In the meantime the other thief
has been rifiing the pockets Of the I'M
happy man.
In less than half minute suffocation be-
gins. and when the poor devil Is released
he falls helpless and unconscious on the
pavement.
Very often. when set upon his feet. he Is
absolutely unable to give the slightest ac-
count of his aggressors He has not seen
their faces nor known when they ap-
preached. nor the direction Of their flight
1t is like a nightmare but for the bruised
neck.

ideal Of the professional thief were 1t not
sometimes accompanied by disagreeable re.
suits When the choking Is little too pro-
longed, or when the victim has none toe

most essential have altered or been lost
sight Of in the heightened appreciation for
others. Take eyes, for instance; large eyes
are beautiful, of course. yet the average
pretty woman of today has not large eyes.
She has bright. clear. or steady ones, but
they are seldom the big. round child-eyes
that the girl Of a while ago must have had
to be thought pretty. A last analysis Of the
pretty woman of today leads one to suspect
that the general education of women and
the special education of the college girl has
had something to do with the new idea of
beauty. The second picture in this column
is of a woman who was the belle Of her
class at college and who during. her past
season has been acknowledged a superbly
beautiful woman. The smooth, plump neck
and ripping hair are there, but no picture
can do full justice to her eyes, with their
sparkle Of wit and challenge that dazzles
you into an acknowledgment of their
beauty when they meet yours. The mouth
has charmed by a thousand curves Of shift

The Hard-WorkinE Little Animal NJ
Least as Industrious as the Ant.

A mole's life is by no means a gentleman =
ly sinecure, according to the Cornhill Maya
zine. He has to work harder in all prob
ability, for his pittance of earthworms than
any other animal works for his daily bread.
His whole existence is spent in perpetually
raising and removing large piles Of earth by
sheer force of muscle. In order to sustain
such constant toll and replace and repair
the used-up tissue the mole requires to be
always eating. His appetite is voracious.
He works like a horse and eats like an ele-
plant. Throughout his waking hours he is
engaged in pushing aside earth and scu-ry-
ing after worms in all his galleries and tun-
nels. The laborer, of course, Is worthy of his
hire Such ceaseless activity can only be
kept up by equally ceaseless feeding. and so
the mole's existence is one long savage al
formation of labor and banQueting. His
heart and lungs and muscles are working
at such a rate that If he goes without food
for half a day he starves and dies of actual
hamilton. He is a high-pressure engine
all things, he must have his liquor much and
often. So he digs many pits in his tunneled
ground and catches water in them to sup
ply his needs at frequent intervals. He
doesn't believe, however, in the early clos
ing movement. Day and night alike he
drinks every few hours, for day and night
are all alike to him. He works and rests by
turn, after the fashion of the navvies en-
ployed in digging tunnels. measures his
time by watches, as is the way of sailors.

sometimes to break the large bones Of the
leg. .
Unhappily. this trick is known much bet.
ter by the thieves themselves than by men
who need 1t for self-defense. 1t Is most
useful. for 1t can be delivered instantly an:
without turning when one feels himself
grasped from behind.
The one delivering this blow brings his
right foot around in front of the left, turn
ing the toe inward. and bringing the leg.
bent at the knee, around behind him, with
we'll done, even II 1t breaks no bones,
rarely fails to carry a man of his feet.
This must. however, be given instantly as
soon as touched. as, after the equilibrium
question.
When the thief is reinforced by an &C.
complete he employs the more scientific
Coup de Pante. This is most sure Of SIC
cess. and has the great advantage over the
others that a worn cravat or a badly fast
ened collar cannot cause 1t to fail.

FIVE CENTS.
The Amount of a Check Sent By Sec
rotary Carlisle.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer
A check for five cents. drawn by Secre-
tary Of the Treasury Carlisle on the SUBJ
treasury here, was yesterday received by
Assistant United States Treasurer Bailey
1t was sent by Commissioner Of Internal
Revenue NJ. w. Wilson. 1t was in favor
Of the United States treasurer. and on &C.
count of F. p. Bond, the internal revenue
collector Of the Tennessee district. Here
the check was given to Receiving Teller
White. who entered it to the credit Of the
United States treasurer. 1t was then
handed to Cashier Stout who also made
an entry Of it.
Then it was turned over to Certificate
Clerk E. E. Roe, who made three certif-
Gates of it, one for Secretary Car
Isle, one for Revenue Commissioner
Wilson and one for Revenue Collector Bond.
Later Clerk Roe entered II with the dis
bursements Of the day, charging Secretary
Carlisle with five cents. At the end of the
month a report Of the transaction will have
to be sent to Carlisle, Wilson, Bond and
the United States treasurer. This shows
the amount of red tape connected with
the office. Subtreasurer Bailey said that he
has already received checks for one cent,
and that 1t is common thing to receive
from some fourth-class postmasters such
small sums as one. two or three cents as
the total receipts for three months.

in Illinois was filled with curious throng,
gathered to witness the proceedings Of a
divorce case begun by a young woman
whose husband was town marshal OF the
place, says the Detroit Free Press. string
of legal lights supported the suit on both
sides, which gave evidence Of long and
tedious fight. The judge to whom the case
had been assigned was enjoying his first
term, and his conscientious face showed
that he would discharge the duties OF his
office with the greatest care; but the town
marshals suit was one of universal interest
in the community. and the worn look around
his honor's eyes revealed sleepless nights.

books to hit upon decision that would
make a lasting impression upon the peo-
