A CLEVER PICKPOCKET.
He Was Russian and Alarmed and Sun
prised a Grand Duke.

He Was a Russian and Alarmed and Sur
prised Grand Duke.
One day, at the dinner table of a
grand duke, the French ambassador ex,
tolled the dexterity OF his fellow coun-
trymen, as exemplifed, among other
things, in the cleverness of the Paris
picllpoclzets.
81 should not wonder if the ST. Pc
tersburg pickpockets could give them a
start replied the grand duke. And
seeing an ircredulous smile play around
'Will you bet that, before we rise from
the table your watch or some other
valuable will not be taken from your
person."
The ambassador accepted the wager
for the fun Of the thing, and the grand
duke telephoned to the chief constable
asking him to send at once the cleverest
pickpoclzet he could lay his hands OH,
The latter was to receive the full value
of every article he managed to annex
and be allowed to go unpublished.
The man came and was put into liv-
cry and told to wait at table along with
the other servants. The grand duke told
him to give him a sign as soon as he
had accomplished the trick. But he
had to wait a long time, for the embas
sador, whose watch was the article to
be experimental upon, always kept Oh
the alert, and even held his hand to his
fob when conversing with the most dis
tinguished guests at the table. At last
the grand duke received the preconcert
ed signal. He at once requested the EN-
bassador to tell him the time The lat
ter triumpbantly put his hand to his
pocket and drew forth a potato instead
Of his watch! There was general burst
of laughter, in which the ambassador
himself joined, though with wry face,
for he was Enthusiastically annoyed. To
conceal his feelings he would take a
pinch Of snuff-his snuffbox was gone!
Then he missed the seal ring from his
finger, and lastly the gold toothpick
which he always carried about with him
IN q little case Amid the hilarity OF
the guests the sham lackey was request
ed to restore the articles, but the grand
dukes merriment was changed into
alarm and surprise when the thief pro-
duced two watches, two rings, two snuff
boxes. etc. His imperial highness made
the discovery that he himself had been
robbed at the same time.-Neue Blatt.

Britain Slowly Washing Away.

The British board of photographers

in some of it's details. 1t appears that
after a long series of observations it has
been ascertained that the little Thames

British soil into the sea annually. In
order to get an idea of what the above
figures really mean, let US imagine a
huge mass Of stone 100 feet in width,
100 feet long and 100 feet high. Then
let us imagine that IA Of these immense
cubes are yearly foated out to sea from
the British mainland. The Thames ha
sin has, however, an area of 6, so
square miles, The immense amount OF
solid matter alluded to above is taken

surface of the basin as a whole at ths
rate of one-eight hundredth part of al
inch each year. At the rate Of wear ant
tear mentioned in the opening para
graph of this article one would natural
ly suppose that within few hundref
years the whole Of the main British isle
would be deposited at the bottom of the
ocean, but owing to the vast area from
which that IA, 600, coo cubic feet of sol
id matter is gathered the basin Of tn
Thames has only been lowered one sin

So earnest was the appeal Of the
young heroine that consent was reluc-
family given. There was no time to lose
Kneeling for moment in prayer, she
arose with smile upon her beautiful
face, saying, 81 am ready The gate
was thrown open. She sailed forth
and soon cleared the space between the
fort and her brothers. house, which she
reached in safety Not one shot was fir
ed at her Such action on the part Of
the savages could not be accounted for
unless the movement was SO sudden and
rapid that they had not time to realize
the situation, and then it was only q
'tsquaw." A tablecloth, containing the
contents of the key Of powder, was hur-
riedly fastened about her waist, and she
started upon her return trip, running
with the fleetness of a fawn toward the
fort, her long glossy curls floating back
from her bare head, upon which the
mild rays of the early autumn sun fell
so cheeringly. The wary savages, who
were watching her movements, now sent
volley Of bullets after her, but not one
of them touched her. The noble girl
entered the fort in safety with her val
liable prize. A prolonged shout Of vel
come greeted her, and every man, in
spired by her heroism, resolved to re-
pulse the foe Or die in the attempt.
During the following night Colonel
Swearingen and IA men arrived and
fought their way into Ethe fort without
losing man. And at daylight Major
McCulloch arrived with 40 mounted
men. His followers entered the inclo-
sure in safely, but he, becoming sepa
rated from them, was obliged to fee to
the open country and narrowly escaped
falling into the hands of the savages,
who thirsted for his blood, for he was
one of their most determined enemies
Girty entertained a bitter hatred for
him and yearned to subject him to the
keenest Of his tortures. After this in
crease to the forces of the garrison Cir
ty and his followers abandoned all hore
of capturing the fort, and after setting
fire to the houses outside the pickets
and killing the stock belonging to the
settlers they raised the siege and with
