WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 5.-wlll-
lam Washington, a negro. has been ar
rested for completely in the treasury
cancelled stamp steal, and has made n
confession which shows that the thefts
had gone on for months, The stamps,
he says, were not taken from the docu-
mcnts at tho treasury building, but the
papers We're taken away In small guam
titles to different houses, whore young
girls, employed at from 40 to 30 cents u
day, removed such OF the stamps and
signatures rs seemed valuable, and
then burned the papers. 1t Is estimat-
ed that Washington and Edwards, who
was arrested some days ago, together
have obtained from the file room Of the
treasury about>2j,0OO old papers and de-
stroyed considerable number OF them
after removing the stamps. About
$1,000 of the stamps have been recoV-
cred by the department.

St. Giles, Cripplegate.

There is no church in London more
grimly affecting or more grewsomely
picturesque than st. Giles, Cripple
gate. Its lantern is strangely gaunt and
blackened, its towers stark and solemn.
The approaches are all struggling and
curious. We fancy ourselves in a bit of
some old foreign city. The curious
skulls and hourglass over the entrance
to the churchyard are vigorously done.
1t escaped the great fire and is an inter-
esting church altogether and pictur-
esque. Here we find Millions tomb,
Foxes (of the Book of Martyrs'') and
that Of a daughter of Shakespeare's
Lucy. And, as if this were not suffi-
cient to reward ones curiosity, they
will show US the registry of the mar
riage of Oliver Cromwell to Elizabeth
Boucher. In the churchyard large
fragment Of the old city wall is to be
seen.-Gentleman's Magazine.

The Heart and Brain Keen Young.

In his work on the senile heart DIR.
Balfour tells us that there are two parts
OF the human organism which if wisely
used largely escape senile failure. "
These two are tie brain and the heart
Persons who think have often wondered
why brain workers should continue to
work with almost unimpaired mental
activity anG energy up to period when
most Of the organs and functions of the
body are in n condition of advanced Sc
nile decay. There is physiological rea-
son for this, and DR.. Balfour tells us
what it is. The normal brain, he affirms,
"remains vigorous to the last, J." and that
because its nutrition is especially pro-
vided for" About middle life, or lit
tie later, the general arteries of the body
begin to lose their elasticity and to slow
ly but surely dilate. They become there
fore much less efficient carriers of the
nutrient blood to the capillary areas.
But this is not the case with the inter-
nal carotids, which supply the capillary
areas of the brain. On the contrary,
these large vessels continue to retain
their pristine elasticity, so that the blood
pressure remains normally higher than
within the capillary area of any other
organ in the body. The cerebral blood
paths being thus kept open, the brain
tissue is kept better nourished than the
other tissues of the body. Medical
Record.

Some Good Advice.

Let me urge upon the rising young
man in any business always to be an un-
derstudy for the position above him.
Familiarize yourself with its duties.
Know all its requirements. The time
will come, sometimes soon and often
late, when the question will be asked,
"Do you think You can fill the position?"
If you know you can, you will answer
unhesitatinglH, "Certainlyv'
If had my life to live over again, I
should devote some Of the hours Iwasted
in useless desultory amusements to the
acquisition of working vocabulary of
at least two or three languages besides
my own.
Numbers Of men possessing no other
ability maybe today are starving them
selves to death with several languages
at their tongues ends, but no young man
possessing the requisite ambition to be-
come business man would ever find it
disadvantageous to his advancement to
be at least linguist in commercial
sense if his knowledge in continental
tongues extended no further. Hard
ware,

Tale OF the Pins.

In the managers Office in large whole
sale houses there nearly always hangs IL
map of territory surrounding Chicago
which is stuck full CT pins with red,
blue, green or yellow glass heads. At
first glance there seems to be little
method in the madness with which the
pins are placed, but to the merchant
they are eloquent and tell exactly the
sort Of goods or quantity sold in a GER
tain Territory. In laying out routes for
statesmen instructions are issued accord
ing to the tale told by the pins, and
when Il certain section remains spa1sely
settled with the pins plan of campaign
is laid out and the drummers are sent
i'll to capture it, Circulars, posters, local
advertisements and every sort of COM
mercial gun is turned on the territory
until it capitulates. So general is the
use of these pins in Wholesale houses
that u firm makes business of supply
ing them, with other Office fixtures.

BROKEN HEARTS IN FRANCE.
Held Of Less Account by the Law Than
Broken Legs.


In no instance does the profound diff
ference of national character in England
and France appear more striking, says
our Paris correspondent, than in the
views held ON both sides of the channel
regarding breach of promise. Of course
engagements are broken off in France
as well as in England, but it is only in
England that heavier damages are
awarded for broken heart than for q
broken leg. The offense is all but I'M
known in the French law courts,
whether it is that Frenchmen are less
inclined to it or that the French girl
dislikes bringing her sentimental trou-
bles into court. To show English read
ers how incredibly prejudiced French
persons of both sexes are upon this sub
ject 1t is enough to say that young
lady who attempted to turn her wound-
ed feelings into cash would be regarded
IS only degree less mean than the
faithless man.
The very small number of suits for
breach of promise have always been
supported by . plea that the lady was
put to expense, and there must be be-
sides evidence Of an intent to deceive.
Damages in any case are very small be-
side the royal amounts awarded by Eng
fish juries. Recently an action for
breach Of promise a PAnglaise was
brought into the Third Paris police
court. The lady and her father, as near
est friend, produced bill showing that
they We're ESQ out of pocket for the
broken engagement. They might have
had this; but, badly advised, they put
Oh another item of $3.50 for the moral
prejudice. The French judge did not
understand this, and he dismissed the
case. London News.
