BETRAYED BY HER TOOTH.

IL Caught the Tag OF an Imitation Dia-
mond Ring.
A prominent tooth and an imita
tion diamond ring were the two
prime factors that occasloned bit Of
comedy In dry goods store, at Third
avenue and Fifty.ninth street, on
Friday afternoon, which ended In
the arrest Of the principal participant,
on the charge of larceny, says the
New York Herald,
A little woman, whose gray hair
was the only indication that she was
past middle age, paused at tho jew
elry counter and asked to see some
rings. She was neatly dressed and
appeared to be an honest domestic,
but her manner aroused the suspicion
of Special Detective Oestreicher, who
stopped to watch her.
With a furtive glance at the sales
woman she raised her hand quickly
to her mouth, and as she took 1t
away the detective noticed small
string tag dangling from her lips,
which bore the mark $l.07. She
noticed it, too, and the detective
says made frantic efforts to draw it
into her mouth. She twisted her
features and tried to reach it with
her tongue, but the fine silk string
had looped itself firmly about large
front tooth, and at every moment the
telltale tag executed a lively dance
on her chin.
Her facial contortions were OBJ
served by the clerks, who were con-
vulsed with laughter, and the woman
was about to turn away when the
detective said:
"Allow me to assist you, madam
Then he caught the string and drew
an imitation diamond ring out of
her mouth.
The woman tried to appear indlg-
nant at first and then in a tone of
injured innocence remarked: "Why,
! must have put 1t In my mouth In a
moment Of abstraction.
81 think you must" replied the
detective in a sympathetic tone, as
he led her away to the East Sixty
seventh street station, where several
more stolen articles were found in
her possession.
When arraigned In the Yorkville
court yesterday the woman said hel
name was Elizabeth Ryan. She said
she was employed as a domestic In
Long Island City and had come tt
the city to make some purchases foN
her mistress. Her mistress, however
will be obliged to furnish 5000 bal
before she can again avail herself o
Elzabeths valuable services.

Washing the Hands.

According to German physician,
the art of washing the hands Is not
an easy one. To insure absolute
cleanliness the hands must be first
carefully washed with potash, soap,
and water, and then with a 5.per-
cent. solution of carbolic acid, or one
per l, 900 solution OF corrosive sub
Innate or chlorine water When the
finger nails are dry and break easily,
vaseline rubbed on after washing the
hands will do world Of good. Mani

time In hot water, then with scissors
and knives clean and cut the nails,

the onyx, then polish the nails with
buckskin and fine powder, washing
the hand again in hot water with
soap. After drying, the nails are
polished with a fine brush and are
finally rubbed with a rosy unguent
to give them shell pink.

The genial editor of the Belfast Age is a
Arm believer in the old Democratic doc
trine that ito the victors belong the spoils. :"
He declares, with much vehemence, that
"there isn't an intelligent man in the United
States, outside of few Mugwumps and the
Republicans who are in Office, who has the
least respect for the civil service commits
sion or the law which provides for its ex-
istence."
How about Grover Cleveland? Are
his protestations of love and affection for
civil service reform the hypocritical cant
of q political demagogue or does Brother
Thompson consider him barred by his ad-
jective or both? Mr.. Cleveland has de-
clared, upon divers public occasions, his
great, and noble, and wholly patriotic de-
votion to the cause of the civil service re-
formers, and yet Brother Thompson de-
clares that there isn't an intelligent-mark
the adjective-man in the United States,
aside from the Mugwumps and Republicans,
who "has the least respect for the civil SER
vice commission or the lac ,chich prorides
for its existence"
The Democratic national platform of
1888 declared that "honest reform in the
civil service has been inaugurated and main
tanned by President Cleveland, and he has
brought the public service to the high
est standard of efficiency" In spite,
however, of this statement of his
party, in national convention assembled,
Brother Thompson declares that he does
mot believe that at any time since the or
ganizaton of our government have there
been men appointed to the classified service
with less qualifications than since this law
went into effect"
Now it Is evident that our Belfast con-
temporary is entertaining erroneous views
upon the question Of civil service reform or
the above quotation from the Democratic
platform of 1858 il falee. Notwithstanding
the fact that this party manifesto explicitly
declared that good Grover Cleveland, By
