Pockets.

Japanese folks have six or eight peck
cts cunningly inserted in the cuffs Of
their wide sleeves. These pockets are
always filed with a curious miscellany
peculiar to the droll title people. AS
common as Irvine in Young Americas
pocket is the prayer amulet written on
delicate sheets Of rice paper and COM
posed by the BONES. In accordance
with the abiding and funny faith of the
Japanese women these prayers are
swallowed, paper and all, like n pill in
cases of mental and physical distress.
Another essential, never missing, is
q number of small squares of silky
paper, which is put to the most unex-
pected purpose-to hold the steam of
q lotus or lily, to dry a teacup, wipe
away a tear or blow the absurd little
nose of the doll-like little m The
very smartest people in Japan use this
style of handkerchief for practical pur-
poses.

his work Of destruction, and, DESTROYS
of getting out of the country as quickly
as possible, he started on his return
march. At nightfall, when moving
through q narrow pass, his command
was surprised and ambushed by the
natives, who killed two-thirds of his
soldiers and took him prisoner. They
wasted no time, but buried him in a
hole up to his neck in quicklime and
theI put molasse5 upOn his head to
attract the insects. He was, Of course,

Exercise Caution.
The pirates in the far East have
learned wisdom by experience. They
no longer cruise the wide seas, attack
ing fhatever craft may come along.
There are too many gunboats patroll-
ing the coast, two many rifle guns and
too many yardarms. Law and order
in the past eighty years have shot,
hanged, drowned, blown up or burned
at least one hundred thousand follow
ers of the ''black flag" The survivors
are painfully aware of the fact, as is
also the younger generation, which has
filled the vacancies made by death.
To-day their work is done upon a small
er, but a far shrewder and safer basis.
They keep spies at various places In
their neighborhood, who report 20 head
quarters whenever some junk is about
TO leave that has Il rich cargo or that
has a large amount of money.
The pirates then plan to intercept
the craft in some river or arm Of the
sea, or else in some shoal water near
the coast, where there is no chance
Of meeting Il gunboat, and where, after
the robbery, they will have a safe
means Of escape. Their calculations are
carefully made, but come out right only
once in four or five times. Tho reason
Of the failures are various. 1t may he
that a foreign or Chinese gunboat sud
denly appears upon the scene. 1t may
be that the junk they are after goes
past their rendezvous with a European
steamer or river launch, or mayhap
that the prospective victim is delayed
by adverse winds and tides, and so does
not appear at the time and place fig
ured upon.
When they do make Il capture they
are not so brutal and cruel as in the
old years. They only kill those who
resist or take arms against them. They
confiscate everything on board and car
~ it to their own strongholds or else
to some receivers shop or pawnbrok-
er'S in any convenient town.
Grades of Piracy.
There are different grades of piracy,
as of every other crime. AS in rob
berry you have at n extreme the high
wayman and the bank burglar, and at
the other the miserable sneak thief,
so in piracy you have two widely sep
arate types in the freebooter who takes
his own life in his hand to win the
prize and the proving night boat pi-
rate who steals children from the river
bank and the sea coast.
Slavery exists in China to-day as it.

ROBBED BY THEIR GUESTS.
Hotel Keepers Complain of the Con-
tinHaI Theft of Small Articles.

tinnaI Theft of Small Articles.
1t is a fact well known to every hotel
and restaurant keeper in the city that
people will steal. Why they resort to
peculation is a mystery, but a far great
er mystery seems to be wrapped up in
the class of articles that are stolen,
says the New York Herald.
Guests who stop at first-class hotels
and pay their bills in departing have
been known scores of times to take
with them toilet soap and towels from
their rooms. Blankets, sheets, clocks
and ornaments likewise disappear with
the departing transients.
Nor does the speculation stop at
this. Cheap plated trays, cutlery, forks
and spoons, plainly marked with the
names of the hotels, are stolen again
and again. This seems strange. for
if he articles are used by the thief,
they bear, of course. the indelible evil
dence of the guilt of the REGULATORS.
Sometimes the stolen articles are re-
covered and sometimes they are not.
Only recently the proprietor of a local
hotel advertised repeatedly and offered
q large reward for the return of a val
liable clock of large size, which had
been taken from the hotel and in a
manner never discovered. All the adj
vertising was in vain.
The late John Hoey once succeeded
by a shrewdly worded letter,iD ecovc
ing a valuable rug, which a Well-known
New York woman had taken with her.
AS soon as its absence was noted from
the Hollywood, Mr.. Hoey caused to be
written to the woman Il letter, which
read substantially as follows:
Dear Madame: In packing your
clothing, your maid, by mistake. includ-
ed the Turkish rug, which was in your
room Kindly have it returned"
The woman had no maid which fact
was well-known to herself and Mr..
Hoey. The assumption that the theft
was not hers afforded her an opportu-
nifty to return the stolen article, which
she did at the earliest possible moment,
sending with it at the same time n
note ~apologizing for the stupidity of
the maid

Origin of Cosmetics.

A learned German writer, recently
deceased, Herr Schultz, wrote shortly
before his death a history Of cosmetics.
Herr Schultz traced the fashion, said
to survive to this day among certain
members of the female sex, of artii-
cially reddening the face. 1t was not
in order to appear beautiful that the
primevil savage smeared his counten-
ance with red ochre, but to inspire ter
ror to the breasts of his enemies. This
artful device probably had the desired
effect, for we are told that as the rad
died ones prevailed in var they became
the favorites Of the opposite sex, and
by degrees a red face came to be CON
sidered as a beauty in itself. In the
course of his treatise Herr Schultze Sc
riously affirmed hat in Fiji the people
used to paint their bodies on the day
their taxes had to be paid, and tat
that day was observed as a day Of
general rejoicing.-London Daily News.
