The Theory is that this man during
all his dealings with Struble was watch
ing for an opportunity to roo the bank,
and the first that presented itself was ON
the morning of the murder, aud but a
day or two before the evidence of his
forgery would have come TO light. It
is believed he took the books for two
reasons-to dispose of the records Of
his own transactions with the bank. and

depositors Of both banks, to divert sus-

Brooklyn Catholic Women.

The work of the Catholic ladies in Brooklyn who have tho management of tho Women's Catholic association of that city Is something of departure from the usual routine of benevolent work undertaken by the women of that scot The association, which is now three years old and very prosperous. is modelled closely on the lines of tho Young Women's Christian associations. It is clubhouse for young women. where they can get almost any sort of helpful instruction and entertainment There are free classes in plain sewing, preparatory dressmaking, penmanship and elementary English. and classes. at which a nominal fee is charged. in type writing, stenography. bookkeeping. physical culture and other departments of direct commercial value to the mem- bers. On two evenings in the week a class of hospital nurses meets to receive instruction in invalid cookery, nnd Q chaflng dish course Is engaging the at tention of another class on one after noon. An elaboration of the course in domestic science is intended to give it's participants most thorough training in all home work. A series of entertain ments. to consist of lectures. concerts and tho like. is to be given on succeed ing Wednesday evenings during tho sea- son.

The End of Books.

What brings about the end of books? Is it fire, water, worms? As every ship launched is bound to be wrecked, every theater to be burned, the finis of the book is it's reduction to ashes What be- came of the Alexandrian library? Did the Saracens burn it i'll GAO? There is this question asked: Was there any li- brary at Alexandria containing TOO, 900 books? Gibbon inclines to the opinion that there was no such library. Canon Taylor insists that if there had been a library 1t was burned in the time of Ju- Illus Caesar. Tradition seems to indicate, however. that there was a library in the Serapeum, by no means large col lection, but whether destroyed by The ophilus or Theodosius is not known. It looks as if the charge brought against the Arabs rested on no foundation. Re- cent explorations of Alexandria, 1695-6, show no traces of the Serapeum. The seaport of Egypt was built on damp foundation, and. granting that there was library, if not destroyed by fire, then the papyri might have suffered from decay due to water. Books of to- day taken to India. to the southern states and to the West Indies perish through mildew. New York Times.

TRAPPING CROWS.
1t Is Not an Easy Matter to Net the wiIy
 Birds.


 Crows are trapped and sold to sports men for shooting matches, usually bring ing $10 per 100, but, like other things, when scarce thoy bring more.
 It is no simple matter to trap crows, for the crow is willy bird, and to catch him in net set for that purpose re- quires skill, and patience as we'll, but the hunger of the crow is always the trapper's greatest aid. One man alone would make but little headway catching crows and would probably sit all day in his little bough house ready to spring his net, but the crows would give his bait wide berth because they would know that he was there.
 After placing the earoass of some ami nal on a field the net is set close to it by bending poles of saplings, on which the net is hung flat to the ground, where they arc held down by triggerlike pegs, and limo run 50 yards or more to a house built of boughs, where the trap per is seereted.
 Another careass is usually laid some hundreds of yards distant on the same or another field, where there is no net set. The trappers, usually two i'll num- Der, go into the bough house together before daylight, and when the crows be- gin to assemble on the fields one of them goes out and walks away. The crows, seeing him leave, grow little bolder and approach the bait ill ones and twos, but stop only long enough to get beak- ful of tho flesh and fly off again. The carcass where there is no net set is of course the best patronized but the trap per on the outside makes it his business to walk near enough to that to keep the crows from settling on it in numbers and thus satisfying their hunger with out going to the ono where the net is. After awhile their hunger gets the bet ter of their judgment or their fear, and they gather on the carcass where the net Is. This is the opportunity of the man in the bough house, whGt with a vigorous pull on the line, sprik. tue net over them. Quick work mues done then by the trappers, who rushNts to the net, to keep the trapped crows from crawling out at the ends and the front, where it is not staked fast to the ground With their hands covered with stout buokskin gloves. to keep the crows from biting and scratching them, the captured birds are put in bags ready to be carried off the field. From 40 to 60 are frequently caught at one pull, but it is rare thing to get more than two springs of the net in one day.-Phila- delphia Record.

THE Hon. Jefferson Davis lives in Arkansas. He is a Democrat and lives in Pope county. He was also leader in the Host Cause" that is to say, he was a stalwart free sil- yer man and evinced his love for the cause by retiring from the original Democratic electoral ticket to make room for fusion elector. He is as good a Democrat but not as great a man as the late matehless chieftain of the Confederacy whose name and his own haply are identical, Hence we have double motive to be proud of the living Jefferson Davis. He bears name every true Southerner loves, and he has been selected by the Arkansas electors to bear the eight votes of this State for William Jennings Bryan to the electoral col lege at Washington. Hon. Jeffer- son Davis will receive no per diem for his services, but he will be paid mileage at the rate of 25 cents a mile, going and returning, which will amount to $287. We earnestly beseech, however, ti.p+ 4he Pan,.,hli can papers of the East will not mis- take him for the other Jefferson Davis, aud urge giving him mileage to h-ll, whither they religiously be- lieve the great Mississippian has gone, if he be dead. Oh, no; ye ignorant Republican newspaper folk of the East, harm not our Jefferson Davisl We need him in Arkansas, and wish his mileage paid and him returned to us clothed and in his right mind to help win another great Democratic victory in this favored commonwealth.

 Speaking of Longfellow, ill her vol ume of literary "reminiscences, Mrs. Jane J. Fields says:
 His kindness and love of humor car ried him through many a tedious inter- ruption. He generously overlooked tFa fact nf the subterfuges to which men and women res0rted III UruuE=oo got an interview, and, to help them out, made as much of their excuses as possible. Speaking one day of the persons who came to see him at Nahant, he said One man, a perfect stranger, came with an omnibus full of ladies. He desoend- ed. introduced himself; then, returning to the omnibus, took out all the ladies, one, two, three, four and five with a little girl, and brought them in. en- tertained them to the best of my ability, and they staid an hour. They had scarce ly gone when forlorn woman in black came up to me on the piazza and asked for dipper of water. Certainly" replied, and went to fetch her glass When brought it. she said: "There is another woman just by the fence who is tired and thirsty. will carry this to her. !" But she struck her head as she passed through the window and spilled the water on the piazza. "Oh, what have donet' she said "If had a floor cloth, would wipe it up. " "Oh, no matter about the water, I said, "if you have not hurt yourself Then I went and brought more water for them both and sent them on their way re- freshed and rejoicing.
 ''It would be both an endless and un- profitable task to recall more of the eu- rious experiences which popularity brought down upon him. There is a passage among MT. Fields notes, how ever, in which he describes an incident during Longfellow's last visit to Eng land which should not be overlooked. Upon his arrival tho queen sent grace ful message and invited him to Windsor castle, where she received him with all the honors, but he told me no foreign tribute touched him deeper than the words of an English bod carrier who came up to the carriage door at Harrow and asked permission to take the hand of the man who had written the Voices of the Night v

Guess Which Hat.

This trick will take the breath away from your friends when you try it on them. It is called tho wonderful hat Take three pieces of bread, or any other eatable, and three hats. Place the threo pieces of bread on table and place a hat over each one. Now lift up each hat, and, taking the piece of bread which 1t covers, cat it before the oom- pany, replacing eaeh hat, opening down, as you do so. Then ask those who are watching you under which hat of the three they would like to find th bread. Whichever one is designated, place that hat upon your head and say that you lave done as they requested. Chicago Record.

A Change In the Calendar That Is Worth
 Thinking About.

Change In the Calendar That Is Worth
 Thinking About.
 It is suggested that on Jan. 1, 1900, a new division of the year into 13 months be instituted If such division were made, the first 12 months would have 28 days or four weeks each, and the new month 29 days. to make 365, and 80 ill leap year.
 After a flow days there would be no need to refer to calendars, as the same day of the week would have the same date through the year. If Jan. were, say, Monday, every Monday would be the 1st, Sth, 10th and 22d; every Tues- day the 2d, 9th, 16th and 28d, and so on through the year.
 The changes of the moon would be on about tho same dates through the year, and many calculations, like interest, dates of maturing notes, Easter and many other important dates would be simplified Although the present gener- ation would have to figure new dates for birthdays, and all legal holidays except New Years would Do on different dates. yet the gain would be more than the loss, as that would be permanent and the objections trifiins. .-Soientifio Amer ieaD
