the cycle mania has inflicted on her

most the highest awarded for the piano,
and thought that, If not fortune, at
least reasonable competence, was
within reach. I found out my mistake
very soon. Teachers are as numerous
as blackberries on bush. and the rush
after pupil is something immense.
By sending out circulars managed to
get few, and, also one school. They
were in different parts Of London, and
the trudging from one to the other was
very hard work. From the lot man
aged to make exactly $6.25 a week. but
when the holidays were on I earned
nothing. This went on for three or four
years. But now pupils have taken to
cycling or some other amusement, and
this summer I have not been able to
clear on an average more than $3.75
week, and only succeeded In earning this
pittance by submitting to the indignity
OF giving lessons at the rate of ten cents
an hour-about what a charwoman

HAVANA CIGARS

Smokers Of fragrant Havana cigars
will learn with sorrow that the supply
of tobacco from Cuba Is practically ex-
hausted and there is no prospect of a
crop next year. This does not mean,
however, that Havana cigars have gone
out OF the market or that the prices are
at present prOhibitive. The stock Is IN
the hands of the manufacturers, and
most Of those In Boston have about two
years supply on hand, SO that the fam
inc will not be felt very seriously until
next year, when the prices are likely 70
be SO high that Havana cigars will In
deed be a luxury. The following year
the loss is likely to be felt even more;
even II the Cuban rebellion is settled
within a year it will be impossible to put
in a new crop and have 1t ready for the
manufacturers before the present sup
ply Is almost exhausted. The normal
tobacco crop of Cuba is about 100000
bales. The crop this year amounts TO
about 10000 bales. or 10 per cent OF the
usual supply. Owing to the war, the
present crop, which Is now practically
all In the hands Of the manufacturers,
will be the last sent out of the island
for some time There are no laborers to
cultivate another crop this year, and
even IL there were 1t Is unlikely that the
insurgents would allow them to work.
Then it must be remembered Of the crop
produced only about 40 per cent Is ex-
ported, so that the supply of the United
States this year is small indeed. Only
the best grades of Cuban tobacco are
exported, and. unlike sugar or any other
productions Of Cuba, the tobacco de-
flcit cannot be made up from any other
source, as there Is no imitation of real
Havana" which can take its place. The
insurgents are in possession Of the
Vuelta Abajo and other districts. which
raise the finest tobacco produced in the
world. and they will not permit the rails
ing Of new crop.-Boston Transcript.

KLEProMAN1AcsARE LISTED.

It will doubtless be astonishing to
those who have not studied the ques-
tion to learn that kleptomania has
grown so much during the last few years
that dry goods merchants have, so to
speak, formed cooperative union of
self-protection against the evil. Shop
lifters are easily dealt with and disposed
Of, as they are generally OF the class
who can be punished to the full extent
Of the law; but the kleptomaniac is
usually a woman of refinement, good
family and possessed Of ample means.
which permit of the qualification OF her
most extravagant needs.
Strange as the assertion may seem,
1t Is 80 true and has assumed such pro-
portions that In the majority Of stores
there Is book kept in tho private office
Of the firm. in which is written the
names Of the women who are known to
be thus afnicted. and when they are
stolen IL sent to the husband, father or
the person who has made himself respon-
Sible for the things taken. It was found
necessary to do this after two or three
arrests had been made and the culprit
found, upon investigation, to belong to
some well-known family. It was not
only necessary for the protectYon Of the
merchants against loss by theft. but 1t
waesalso more imperative from the fact
that these exposures endangered his
business. After such an arrest and the
consequent publicity, the family Of the
accused were very 10th to trade at that
particular store. and the withdrawal of
such patronage meant loss Of thous-
ands of dollars to the proprietor.
This explanation was given me by the
superintendent Of one of the largest de-
partment stores, where, after thor
ough canvassing Of the principal retail
stores In the city, L found that 1t was no
mere gossip as to the existence Of this
book, and the fact that nine oit Of ten
employed women detectives, not only for
the conviction Of shoplifters and pick
pockets, but to watch the more wealthy
offenders who were afflicted with what
is called nervous disease in the medi-
cal books-kleptomania. These women
are obliged to be very clever, bright and
intelligent, as they must learn to know
these kleptomaniacs by sight and to dis
criminate between the professional and
the afflicted If they detect stranger in
the act Of purloining the FIRMS goods
