A Frustrated PickpOcket.

A lady in an omnibus travelling from
Victoria to the north Of London felt a
woman with short hair and long per
tinacity trying to pick her pocket.
She did not feel great anxiety for two
reasons-frst because she knew the
pocket was very difficult to find and,
second, because her purse was not in
it.
After several vain attempts to un-
ravel tl& mysteries of the receptacle
the thiet muttered angrily to herself
in French, Bother it, can't find the
pocket anywherew The lady turned to
her and re1carked, with a smile, Il am
sorry, madam, you have so much
trouble, but there's nothing in it,
The frustrated pickpocket left the
omnibus, which at the time was turn
ing corner very slowly, like an ar
row, and none Of the other passengers
were aware Of the comedy until the
lady Of the unpickable pocket explain
ed it to them. Fortunately the thief
had not tri ed her skill on any other
person. London Telegraph.

T.nOW How to Die Gracefully
There is something fascinating in Il
wcll-simulated death scene. The we'll
equipped actres must know how to
die gracefully and effectively.
Il have endured many Deaths" saie
Viola Allen to me, when I broached
the subject of mortuary "reminiscences.
Zone of them was in Virginius, when
I am stabbed and fall backward to
the ground. When played in Othello
with Salvini l was always very ner-
yous during the smothering scene, be-
cause he used to get so excited. I
turned my face sideways and held
small space open under the further
side of the pillow, so that I could
breathe, but even that breathing hole
would frequently get closed up under
the forceful energy of Salvini. Then,
when he finds that he has killed Des-
demona without cause, in his remorse
he throws himself heavily upon the
body. I used to wait for this piece Of
business with fear and trembling.
.Salyini's fall was awfully realistic.
AS "Juliet'' I have died many times.
You know Romeo drinks the poison
and subsequently throws the vial
away as l approach him; then. seeing
him die. I stab myself and fall over
him. One night some practical joker
thought it would be funny to fill the
vial with ink, and as ""Romec" mere
ly made a slight motion Of drinking he
did not notice the fluid, but when he
threw the bottle from him it struck
some where near me- and the ink flow
all over my face and lovely white
dress. On that occasion you may be
sure that I ended my life with the
least possible delay. In La Charbon-
Mere died a slow death by poison.
and I took special care to find out
the right poison that should be ,uen-
toned in the piece as the one which
would cause a slow numbing Of the
senses. AS "Jess.' in HOodman Blind
l died of starvation and lay on my
side, we'll down the stage. This was
often an awkward situa ton, on ac-
count of the different curtains at the
various theaters. Sometimes to avoid
my being struck by the curtain, the
hero would be obliged to drag me
back, and once, though a man put out
his hand to keep the roller away from
me, the heavy mass actually grazed
my nose Se.'-FOOtlightS

There is a little house in Holland. at

of France. as the son of the Dauphin,
who was according to this absurd le-
gion) not murdered by i'll usage in the
temple, but escaped and afterward
passed under the name Of NAundorff.
working as a matchmaker He lived
till 1915, and is buried in the ceme-
terry at Delft. The inscription on the
tomb describes him as Louis XVIII.
King of France and Navarro, born at
Versailles on March p, 1855. died at
Delft on August 10. 1915
His son lives In modest fashion
and passes much Of his time in wood
carving. Whereat he is an expert. He
has in his possession some relics OF
the Bourdons; an Order Of the Saint
Esprit, cross OF sapphires. and
a musical box Of Marie Antoinette
He declares himself to be neither
conspirator nor a prctender; neither
does he wish to change the form Of
government which France has chosen
for herself. He asks only one thing
that the name of his father should be
respected. But none the less the
less the Naundorff legend is brought
to light once and again. Just as the
other day when Louis Charles. Due
lie Norma ndie' issued a manifesto pro-
testing against the visit of the French
ships to Kiel.
There is little chance of any heed
being paid to his assertions unless
some indisputable documentary evil
dence is Forthcoming to support them,
and which the son of the famous pre-
tender, Naundorff Gn whom many per-
sons believed some sixty years ago
notably in this country does not seem
able to produce. There are other Bour-
bons in Holland, at Harlem. and at
Utrecht, but they are altogether
Dutch. and they make no pretensions
to parentage with the royal family Of
France.

LONDON SUICIDES

The Big City Has Great Numbers oi
Them and the Dark River Is Near
By. Ii,
London has always been remarka bic
for its large number Of suicides. The
shadows of a great city," and the
other favorite possessions of the
thrilling melo-dramas naturally
abound in the largest city in the
world. July is always a bad month
for suicides in London, and the last
July was particularly bad. AS many:
as ten have occurred in a day, and
the average has been over twenty
week. The heat and love romances
remain the principal excuses for self
destruction, and Colonel Ingersoll's
views about ending ones life, when
the chances to please others as well
as self are slight. seem to have many
followers, but only among the half
frenzfed and irresponsible people,
In the midst Of these grim condi-
tions are laughable happenings grow
ing out Of the efforts on the part of
the police to prevent suicides. There
WaS one particularly odd arrest on
Waterloo bridge one day last week.
Like Brooklyn bridge, Waterloo
bridge was built to encourage suicide.
It is a bad locality. and the "bobbies"
naturally look upon all strangers who
llnger thereabouts with considerable
scrutiny. A man who goes near that
bridge is at once rated a suspect, even
it he be on as peaceful an errand as
making a call on the Surrey side.
That was the way with a Mr.. Spindler,
who was found hatless and coatless,
excited and ejacula ting, in the middle
Of a curious crowd. The police rush
ed him off to the lookup, and We're re-:
joiced to think they had stemmed the
tide and prevented adding another
victim to the rolls Of suicide. Three
telltale bottles of laudanum were
found in his pocket. But when the re-
joicings Of the police had quieted Mr..
Spindler was given the floor, and he
'testified in his own behalf that some
footpad had stolen his hat. Hence the
excitement and the crowd AS to the
bottles, he was Il chemist and they
were properties Of his trade, but not
laudanum. AS one commentator re-
marked. "He left the court without
stain on his character and without
his hat It is not always agreeable
to tack morals upon such stories, but
the lesson Of Mr.. Spindler's plight is
that every hatless man that stands
upon bridge in the suicide centre Of
the world does not of necessity con-
template self destruction.-Bost

head had no remembrance at the mo-

''But I left it wi We for a. that" said
the man.
He was asked for the name and

TranspiratiOn and Clothing

1t is absolutely essential to health

clothing or>by clothing of a very close
texture. All who wear India rubber
coats know how uncomfortable they
are after they have been on a short
time. Ordinarily proper clothing will
not prevent Transportation, but an ex-
cess will interfere with it, and where
too much clothing is worn it soon be-
comes foul, because the outside air
can not easily ninsle with the gases
from the body and dilute them. Some
wear the thickest and heaviest under
vests which they can buy, and such
people are very generally the victims
of frequent colds. Following the rule
OF light, clothing, they would be much
safer to wear two light undervests in
stead Of one very thick and heavy

A Judges Dlunder

Although Judge Bacon has often au-
Indicated in the Bloomsbury County
Court on the fit and cut of ladies'
dresses in the old style, he is not vet
accustomed to the new woman. When
he took his seat in the tribunal yester-
day he happened to glance in the pub
lie gallery, and saw some one there
with a stand-up collar round the neck
and cloth cap on the head "Take
off your cap up there" cried his hon.
or The person addressed made no
movement. 'You man, there, take off
your cap" repeated the judge, louder
than before. "It's a lady," your hon.
orr replied an unknown voice from
the gallery. "a what?' said Judge
Bacon. "A woman, is it? Then why
does she dress like that?' And when
the laughter had subsidized he COM
menced the business of the court.
From the new womans cap there flow
ed a wealth of faaxen curls, and a
clerk was heard to whisper facetious-

ssa,sa French BOARD and Its Lessons.

&
In the country districts in France
boards are put up telling people what
animals and insects should not be
killed and the reason, and also which
ones should be exterminated in order
to afford protection to the farmer.
First on the board is this:
"This board Is placed under the pro-
esty Of the public"
And, Of course, after that no boy or
man would mar or remove the board.
Then follows these Instructions:
Hedgehog lives upon mice, snails
ind wire worms-animals injurious to
agriculture Don't kill a hedgehog.
'Toads help agriculture, destroys
twenty to thirty insects hourly. Don't
kill toads.
''Alolo destroys wire worms, layae
and insects injurious to the farmer.
No trace of vegetables is ever found
in his stomach; does more good than
harm. Don't kill moles.
"Cock chafer and Its lavae-deadly
enemy to farmers; lays seventy to 100
eggs. Kill the cock chafer.
'Birds-Each department Of France
loses yearly many millions of francs
by the injury done by insects. Birds
are the only enemy capable of battling
with them vigorously; they are great
helps to the farmers. Children, don't
take birds nests.'
And so on the instructions read.
Among the animals which need kill
ing ON a farm are mice and rats. and
the reason they increase in spite Of
the constant warfare Of cats and dogs
is because the boys on the farm kill
the animals that destroy the pests if
they had a chance
