TT MADE HIM HOMEsICK,

The burglar had entered the house as quietly as possible, but his shoes were not padded and they made some noise.
 He had just reached the door of the bedroom when he heard some one mov- ing in the bed, as if about to get up, and he paused.
 The sound of woman's voice floated to his ears.
 'If you don't take off your boots when you come into this house." it said, there's going to be trouble and a whole lot of it. Here it's been raining for three hours and you dare to tramp over my carpets with your muddy boots on. Go down stairs and take them off this minute"
 He went downstairs without a word, but he didn't take off his boots. Instead he went straight out into the night

aN IyTEEEsrIYg STRUGGLE.

<iH A-N ~ iG A2of AN V ofH tNpHGs
 It is hard to beat the burglar, for when he isn't actually "burgling' he is thinking up schemes that will enable him to get ahead of those who are op- posed to him. The twentieth-century cracksman, as shown in Modern Ma chinery, of Chicago, breaks into a safe or vault with the aid of @ few tools which he carries in handbag and the electric wires that furnish the bank with light. Two ends of current make an arc, and the carbon cuts through the wall of steel at the rate of two inches a minute. This has been demonstrated by tests made by Profes- sor Monroe, who spent a year in the service of the government and has ex- perimented with electricity for the pur- pose of ascertaining the particular kinds of receptacles which are most impervious to burglars, But as the electric current has enabled the scien- tific bank robber to get into a vault with less difficulty than heretofore, the same mysterious force may also prove his undoing On the principle of fight ing the devil with fire, the safe manu- facturers will so arrange their burglar proof receptacles that drilling, cutting or interference of any kind with the vault lining, safe covering or a con cealed alarm box will set bells to ring ing and make such a noise that the policeman block away will be aroused from the deepest slumber.
 If some inventor will invent an ar- rangement that will electrocute a burglar as soon as he touches a safe or vault it will be a good thing.

where? Our present great distress as nation Is really the indirect result of your own Christian zeal in our behalf. Your fathers and yourselves sent godly missionaries among up to reanimate our ancient form of Christianity. Their earnest efforts were exceptionally successful. Their spiritual teaching and examples revived our dormant spirits, and toned up our national ambition and hopes. The new education brought us practical intelligence, and intelli- gence brought us more wealth and pow CT. But these made us the enemy of our mortal enemies, the fanatical Mo hammedans, who, without the slightest provocatlon, arose in their cruel hatred and robbed us of our property, burned our homes and maimed and murdered our dear ones, while Christian Europe and America stood by with folded arms, doing nothing for us beyond pro- testing mildly against our utter de- struction, and distributing aims for time among our naked and starving survivors.
 Ours has been a hard lot, and the outlook is still dark, for it we are denied employment here, what shall we do? What can we do?Our situation is fast be- coming so desperate that we are almost tempted to deplore our miraculous de- liverance from the hand of the murder ous Turks, as a calamity and to envy our loved ones their lot who are at rest In their graves in our native land.
 Speaking for himself, the undersign- ed begs leave to say that what he wants is not charity, but any honorable employment. A dry goods merchant in his own country, he will be glad of any employment here

THE CoNVEBTED BICYCLE.

It is about time that the bicycle did something for religion. It has done much against religion, according to ex- pert testimony. It has kept people away from church, and it has encouraged free and light living. It has detracted from the dignity of the ministry by making ministers look and sometimes feel ridic- u1ous. And it has taken money from the heather. While the bicycle has thus been undermining religion religion has shown a truly Christian spirit to- ward the bicycle. It has endeavored to accommodate itself to the bicycle have been provided by many churches. Special and timely services for bicy- c1ers have been held. A bicycle church has been invented and used. And some ministers have said good words for the bicycle while not openly committing their persons and their personal and
 
 pious dignity to it. So the bicycle should reciprocate, if there is any recip- rocity in it. It appears that there is, and it gives us pleasure to record the fact that there is at least one bicycle which is openly and definitely religious and that the indications are that there will soon be others. An enterprising Buddhist in Japan has adapted a bi- cycle to serve the purpose of the pray ing wheel Instead of attaching the written prayer to the customary wheel which is generally turned by a con- yenient stream of running water, the new wrinkle is to fix the prayer to the hub of the bicycle wheel, so that the faster the rider can pedal the better he can pray. Rumor has 1t that American firms are already preparing machines with Buddhist collects embossed on the tires, so that the bicycle will become an instrument of pleasure and a prayer book combined.
 Too long has the bicycle been the pro- moter of idle pleasure and profanity. Made a prayer wheel instead of a swear wheel 1t will offset the wrath of man and compensate in at least some measure for the harm it is said to have done religion. Viewed in it's new and pious light we do not see why good wheelmen who have "Gates Ajar'' faith need not look forward to a blessed eter- on the golden streets.

4 SHOCK TO FREE INsrIrUrToNS

4 SHOCK TO FREE INSTITUTIONS.
 White folks must bestir themselves. Two colored young men in the district of Congressman Shattuc, of Ohio, have had the audacity to surpass lot of white young men in a competitive ex- animation for a cadetship at the An napolis naval academy. And that isn't the worst. Congressman Shattuc has actually given one of the colored young men the benefit of his audacity and has named him for the place he won in the examination. Of course there has already been white and prop CT protest. The white young gentlemen who are being educated by bountiful government at Annapolis are threat ening to resign If the colored young gentleman is sent among them, and it Is announced that there is an unwrit- ten law that no colored young gentle man shall be received at the naval academy. This law is believed, by those who know of its existence, to be superior to all the written laws of the United States and even to the Consti- tuition thereof. Congressman Shattuc evidently doesn't know about the pow CT of this law for he Is reported as giv- ing several curious reasons why the colored young gentleman should and shall go to Annapolis. One of them is that he earned his appointment fairly. Of course this doesn't amount to any, thing against the unwritten law. But it is when Congressman Shattuc leaves logic and takes to assertion that he ten law. This is a family paper and although the Supreme court has said that, damn" isn't swearing, we shouldn't feel like inserting tdamn" in these columns for which we could be held responsible But in order to show how little heed to the unwritten law is given by Congressman Shattuc we shall give the exact words used by him when he was told that if he stood by the colored young gentleman the white young gentlemen at Annapolis would resign. "Let them resign and be damned,'' said he That boy earned his appointment fairly and I'm going to see that he goes to Annapolis and receives fair treatment, if it is in my power to do so.''
 Well, well! And also umph! Are our free institutions really going to re- ceive such a shock as is involved in the appointment of colored young gentle man to place he has fairly won away from white young gentlemen, and car they stand the shock? Moreover doesn't the unwritten law say that the white can never be successfully com peted with by the colored?

An ADneaI for Work.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 Kindly permit stranger a little space to say word to the Christian people of New Haven.
 On the 26th day of November last small company of Armenians, natives of Aintab, Turkey, arrived in this city. We were empty-handed when we came, for we were refugees from a terrible massacre. We have been the objects of much sympathy and the recipients of much kindness at the hands of the Christian people of New Haven, for which we are truly thankful. Up to the present time, however, some of us have not been able to secure what we most need, viz, employment-work We were industrious, frugal, thrifty people in our own country. We desire to be the same here. But we are still empty handed. hence utterly helpless, unless we can secure employment, and in that way start life anew. We do not ask, or desire charity, and we prefer starv- ing to begging. Starving, however, is q hard fate, especially in this rich and beautiful city. But if fair opportuni- ty to earn an honest living is denied us how can we escape? Can we hope for better success elsewhere? If so,

unless she had the crown made over for the occasion, but pokes were in fashion that year. This being jubilee year poke bonnets are made the fashion again, just to remind Victoria how she used to look. They are very becoming to young faces, and the reason that they are not more generally liked Is that so many women like to be dashing instead of demure. If you are going to wear poke, you must be demure; not to be would be like going to church on roller skates.
 Demurity should win new converts, however, when women see these adora ble chip affairs with a little row of pink rose buds under the brim, against the hair and framing the face. They have white or delicate green moire rib bon laid quaintly over the outside and drawn down under. the chin in a great big bow that could tie at least half a dozen hearts within, such hearts as the men have these days, anyhow, which are much more likely to succumb to a bonnet than to girl.
 For her who neither wants to be dashing nor demure, there is a host Ol iieUlull SIhcu IctS, 1llOSl OI lileHl striking because of brilliance of color or through their masses of bloom. One of this type is shown to-day, it's puffed crown and it's brim composed of violet glace taffeta, the brim almost hidden by masses of violets, Separating brim and crown was full twist of violet velvet. On the left side was a high loop of the taffeta supported by an aigrette of violets and foliage, and a corresponding loop without flowers was on the other side. The back was filled in with small rosettes of velvet, violets and leaves.

The question of the insurance of mi nors in mutual assessment insurance companies has recently received judi cial consideration in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. In the former State Judge McPherson of Dauphin county decides that under the Pennsylvania statute, minors may not be insured in such associations, for the reason that they cannot become members of such associations. and the associations may only insure members. This is in ac- cordance with decisions rendered in New York and some other States. A somewhat different condition of things prevails in Massachusetts. There, the Attorney General says, certificates of insurance may be issued to infants by assessment insurance corporations. These corporations, organized under the Massachusetts law, are not mutual in the sense in which that term is usu- ally employed, and there Is no provis- ion in the law that persons with whom contracts of insurance are made there by necessarily become members of the association.

San Francisco courts have curious point of law to decide in the question of the rights of real property. The owners of a tall building, with a large expanse of wall unbroken by windows or projections, have ordered the owners of adjoining property to cease throwing stereopticon advertisements upon their brick wall, which the latter strangely refuse to do. The owners of the tall building claim that as they have the right to forbid the placing of any more substantial signs on their property they have an equal right to forbid the throwing of shadow signs thereon.
