HONEST WOMEN. .

A student Of human nature invested a
small sum of money last week for the
purpose Of testing the honesty Of New
York people, He bought six small purses,
and put in each AZ cents, door key and
card with his own name and address.
He then proceeded to drop these purses
In the streets and on the hoors of the
large dry goods stores. In less than
twenty-four hours five Of the purses were
returned, and in each case by woman.
This may or may not prove anything con-
cerning the honesty of women as COM
pared with men, but 1t certainly seems to
show that women are the sharper,
sighted.

travel or through the medium OF the
