| WE'LL DRESSED THIEF.

Stole & from Durant's JeweIry Store yes-
 terday-said He Was Waiting for a Lady
 --Seen in Other Stores but Did Not Secure
 Anything There.
 Yesterday afternoon as MT. Durant and all the clerks and extra help at Durants jewelry store on Church street were busy waiting on customers a we'll dressed man with a curled mustache, wearing a navy blue overcoat, a silk hat, and carrying a cane entered the store and asked permission to wait for a lady who, he said, was coming in soon. He waited for over an hour and until all the clerks happened to be at the other end of the store, as were also the customers, when one of the lady clerks glanced towards the stranger and saw him make a sudden dive to the money drawer to pull it out, and put something in his pocket. She at once stepped to tell MT Durant, when the thief, seeing what she was about to do, darted out the door. Upon in vestigati ton it was found that he had taken a five dollar bill. There was con- siderable change in the drawer, but the man had only time to snatch the bill
 The police were notified and were given a minute description of the thief as he had sat i, the store so long that the employees were able to thoroughly describe his appearance. The same man was seen in George H. Ford's store and in Samuel kirby's, but probably had not secured anything at either place.

RUSSIANS IN WINTER.
How They Manage to Defy tho Intense
Cold of Their Climate

How They Manage to Defy tho Intense
Cold of Their Climate.
The national cap has II soft velvet
crown, surrounded by broad band Of
sable or of otter; it is always In fashion
and lasts forever. People who are fond
of variety buy each year new cap,
made of black Persian lambskin, which
resembles in shape that worn by the
lSzaks, though the shape is modified
every year by the thrifty shoplSeeper.
The furs and the Russians sensible
manner of dressing in general have
much to do with their comfort and
freedom from colds. Few Russians
wear flannels of any sort. Linen under
clothing and the thinnest of gowns are
sufficient in the delightfully-heate
houses, and mt the theaters and other
places of public entertainment any
thing more would be intolerable, writes
Isabel L. Hapgood in Lippincotts Mag
azine. No Russian enters a room,
theater or public ball ut any season of
the year with his cloak and over
shoes, and no well-trained servant
would allow an ignorant foreigner to
triae with his health by so doing.
Even the foreign churches are provided
with cloakrooms and attendants. And
the Russian churches2 On grand oc-
casions, when space is rallied off for Of
tcials or favored guests, cloak racks
and attendants are provided near the
door for the privileged ones, who must
display their uniforms and gowns as q
matter of state etiquette. The women
find the light shawl which they wear
under their fur to preserve their gowns
from hairs, to shield tho chest and for
precisely such emergencies sufficient
protection. On ordinary occasions peo-
pie who do not keep lackey to hold
their cloaks just inside the entrance
have an opportunity to practice Rus
sian endurance, and unless tho crowd
is very dense the large and lofty space
renders it quite possible, though the
churches are heated, to retain the fur
cloak; but it is not healthy, and not al
ways comfortable. 1t would not be
possible to provide cloalrooms and
attendants for the thousands upon
thousands who attend church service
Sundays and holidays With the for
eign churches, whose attendance Is COM
paratively limited, it is different mat
ter.
Moscow, by the way, is the place to
see the coats intended for really cold
weather journeys, made of bearsllin
and of reindeer skin, impervious to
cold, lined with downy Siberian rat or
other skins one does not see in st.
Petersburg shops.

A STRANGE INSTRUMENT.

Invented ny Musical Genius for the
Amusement of the French Court.
During the reign of Louis ri. of
France there was attached to his court
one Abbot de Raigne, II man of consid-
cradle wit. The abbot was somewhat
unsteady inclined, and delighted the
court with inventions of odd musical in
struments, says Harper's Young Poo
pie. One day the king, after having
enjoyed hearty laugh over one of
these curious contrivances, and desir-
ing to battle this musical genius, COM
manded him to produce harmonious
sounds from the cries of hogs. This
seemed an impossibility to the king, and
he prepared himself to enjoy the dis
comtiture of the abbot Much to his
surprise, however, the abbot readily
agreed to produce them. All he re-
quirod was sum of money, upon the
receipt of which he declared he would
invent the most surprising thing that
was ever heard.
He secured the country and secured a
large quantity of hogs, trying their
voices as to pitch and quality, and
finally, having fully satisfied himself,
he arranged the animals in sort OF
pavilion richly decorated. The day of
the trial arrived, and the king and his
court entered the pavilion, prepared for
something, but greatly in doubt as to
the success of the abbot with tine hogs.
However, there were the hogs, sure
enough, and much to the surprise and
delight of the king they commenced to
cry tremendously and in good tune,
rendering an air that was fully recog-
nized.
The abbot had arranged series of
stops that were connected with the
hogs, and upon pulling one Of them out
caused spike to prick the hog it con-
nectcd with, making him squeal his
note. The rest was easy, for pulling
out the different stops he produced the
tune. The king and all his attendants
were highly delighted with it.

Flowers in Northern Russia

An English traveller in Northern
Russia writes to the Gardeners Chron-
icle" that nothing surprised him more
than the universal presence Of we'll
grown Towering plants in dwelling
rooms. Even in the cells of monster
les and in the studies of city photogra-
pliers farther north than Archangel he
found such plants as oleanders, crotons,
pelargoniums and fuchsias in almost
every room. The double windows, so
necessary to keep out the cold, have o
draught-tight space between them
filed with Towering plants, and 1t does
not seem necessary to open them for
air during the short, hot summer.
From September to June the country
is buried in snow and shut in by Ice. The
average temperature for January is
only ten degrees. The July tempera-
ture, however, has an average of sixty
degrees, Fahrenheit, which is hardly
to be wondered at when it is remem-
bcred that the sun shines twenty-five
hours out of the twenty-four.

He is n farmer in comfortable circum-

was worth clear ten thousand dollars
