Cases of kleptomania.

That plenty Of genuine cases Of KEEP
tomania undoubtedly exist is we'll known
to both legal and medical experts. There
was, for instance, the case of not very
long deceased nobleman who frequent
ly pocketed his hostess spoons at din
ner party, and whose pockets were in
variably searched by his man on his re-
turn, with a view to prompt restitution.
In another case lady who was quite
rational upon other points was discov-
cred to have 10 bags concealed about
her, in which were over /, 100 little ar
ticles which she had stolen and conceal
ed, although nearly every one was abso-
lutely worthless. A clergyman has been
known to steal Bibles under the impress
sion that he was thereby propagating
the gospel Another gentleman, sane in
other respects, invariably stole the tow
els from any hotel he stopped at while
travelling and returned them when he
got home, and, oldest of all, there has
been q case of man who would never
eat food which he had not stolen. He
was man Of means, and his personal
attendant used to hide his meals, so that
he might think he himself had stolen
them, in order to induce him to eat.

victory over the stern Duke Of Newcas-

demanded to be allowed to present ad-
dresses to the prince and to be received
separately from their Catholic fellow
citizens. The duke consulted with Gov
ernor General Head and refused to per-
NIT this distinction. At Kingston an
Orange demonstration was prepared.
and the royal party did not land from
the steamer. The Orangemen chartered
another steamer and pursued the prince
to Brockton, but again he was not al

ty of 80 Canadian gentlemen took the
horses from his carriage and drew him
through the pretty hamlet AT Toronto
the mayor apologized for the display OF
Orange flags The prince was booted
and Kissed when he attended church,
and serious riots were feared.
"All trouble was averted, however,
by the good humor Of the prince him
self He was taking drive with the
duke, and the Orangemen hastily hung
a banner across the road so that the roy
al party had TO drive under it, Newcas-
tie was indignant and ordered the coach
man to turn back; but, 10, another Or
ange banner had been hung to cut off
the retreat. Then the prince laughed
heartily, took off his hat to the flag and
was cheered by the Orangemen. How
ever. the duke was not Modified, and the
journey to Niagara falls was expedited.
The prince first saw the great falls on
Sept. 8. A number of riding horses had
been provided by the Canadian govern
ment, and he mounted at once and rode
to view the falls from various points"

The Rogue and Forger Was . Typical
Soldier of Fortune.


The hero Of the following story. Kis-
sane, had been prominent business
man in Cincinnati. He was tried with
others and acquitted on the charge Of
burning the steamboat Martha Wash
ington to secure insurance, and after
ward was sent to the penitentiary for
large bank forgery:
Into the Walker Nicaragua expedi-
ton. made up for the most part of linen
of strong character, tired Of the hum
drum of common life and ready for a
career which might bring them the
sweets of adventure or the rewards of
fame" Kissane now, on coming out OF
the penitentiary, threw himself with all
the abandon of his daring nature. He ar
rived at Nicaragua Feb. /, 1855. Un-
der an assumed name he was soon APP
pointed and commissioned assistant
commanding general, with the rank Of
major, and ordered to take charge of the
commissariat of the army. He showed
such ability that Walker soon promoted
him. For eight or nine months he had
the entire finances of the country in his
hands, and but for his careful manage
ment the filibustering scheme, it is con-
coded, would have met an earlier de-
feat.
Rivas, he left Granada in charge Of
Kissane. TIE latter made s-dden sallies
on the neighboring haciendas, and, cap
turing the wives and daughters of prom
inent Nicaraguans, held them as hos
taees to be exchanged for money or pro-
visions. He is reputed to have made
fortune in the sale Of confiscated hacien-
das and vouchers Under his direction
cathedrals and converts and private
dwellings were pillaged of gold, silver
and jewels The plumber, which filled
six large cedar chests was melted,
packed in small bulk and shipped to
New Orleans. ROBBED in priestly vest
ments and carrying the holy eucharist,
Kissane led triumphant procession
through the streets of Granada. His au-
dacity and bravery won him devoted
followers Few, if any, of his compan-
ions in arms suspected his early history.
Nevertheless the tropics did not shield
him wholly from memory of the past.
Recognizing In one OF the youthful fol-
lowers of the army the son of man
who had testified against him in the
Martha Washington case, Kissane
had the young man arrested on some
trumpet up charge and shot down in
cold blood.

sane caused to be published in the pa

THE CRANE DANCE.

Where the Soubrettes Got Their Idea For
Speciality.
There is "a dance called the crane
dance, which is popular at the vaude-
Vile houses At Lincoln park there is
real crane which does a crane dance,
and those who have seen its saltatorial
feats say the bird does il much better
than do the featherless, two legged ami
mails.
No purely initiative dancing could
fail TO gain by being an exact copy OF
the performance of the long necked,
spindle legged sand hill crane. It's steps
are not only grotesque, but they are of
a kind to make the gravest onlooker lose
his dignity and laugh like a delighted
boy at the circus This Lincoln park
bird at the outset of his dance is the
personification of dignity When in the
days of his freedom he tripped it on his
native sand hills for the sole benefit Of
his mate, be did so only in the spring
time, but now, in his lowly captive
state, he dances in and out of season if
the keeper who feeds him will but wave
his arms and take an awkward step or
two TO give him encouragement.
The crane begins its dance by showing
one long leg, with its claw attachment,
straight out in front of his body. Then
he lowers it and draws it back slowly
until it is within an inch or two of the
ground. Then there is a lightninglike
double shuttle, and the other leg is
pointed to the front. Then the dance
begins in earnest The wings are
stretched and beat the air in perfect
time to the movement of the feet, be
they going fast or slow There is the
semblance of clog; then the sinuous
foot and body movement of the nautch
girl, and in moment the whirl of the
dancing dervish, TO be succeeded as
finale by sort of wild call hands
round" in which every feather of the
bird is alive, as il enters into the Joy Of
the dance with an utter abandon. The
act of stopping is like the halt" of the
German soldier-sudden, stiff and in
slant. Then the crane marches away to
a corner with still stately tread, but
with an eye which appears to reveal en-

A ROMANCE OF WALES.
The Two Ladies' M Llangollen Who Lived
. Strange Life Together.

The Two Ladies' M Llangollen Who Lived
. Strange Life Together.
Helen Marshall North contributes to
The Century an account OF Lady Eleanor
Charlotte Butler and the Hon. Sara
Ponsonby, who, more than q century
ago, ran away from their homes and
settled in the picturesque little town OF
Llangollen. They dressed in q strange
costume that was partly made mp OF
masculine garments. They were visited
by many distinguished people and COR
responded with most Of the notables Of
their times. The writer says:
Among their visitors the ladies also
counted certain Sir Alured, a hand
some and interesting but venerable man
at this period. Here is romance within
q romance, for of this gallant gentleman
it is said that one of the princesses fell
desperately in love with him, and her
father, poor old George Ill, sent the too
fascinating young man away to India,
where there was war at the time, and
whence, therefore. there was some like
lihood that he would not return. But at
80 he came back, still handsome and
fascinating, and was received with dis
tinguished favor by the new king, who
made him a field marshal. OF the
princess and her affection nothing more
is learned
Sir Alured had long known Lady
Eleanor-indeed, for aught / know to
the contrary, he may have been one OF
the five despairing SWANS mentioned in
that lady's obituary-and once a year,
usually in October, he came down to
Llangollen to pay his respects to the
two ladies, TO whom the visit was al
ways an occasion of consequence.
The death Of Lady Eleanor was
grievous blow to the old man. He came
the year following, however, but was
less gay than usual, and it is even said
that he neglected to bestow the usual
parting kiss on his fair entertainer. The
Hon. Sara promptly reminded him of
the oversight, for which he at once
made atonement.
Mary Carryl, the faithful servant,
had died in 1909, making the first
Of the household.
Each OF the friends wished picture
of the other. but neither was willing to
sit for her portrait. By some stratagem
of friend pictures of the two together
were secured when the ladies were IN
aware.
In June. 1929, at the age of 90, Lady
Eleanor passed away, and, although her
friends surrounded Miss Ponsonby with
every possible Kindness, she refused to
be comforted. She was seldom seen ex-
cept by her domestics and survived in
her loneliness only Is months.

Uses of Old Shoes.

Old shoes are not lost by any means:
In this country they are dissected and
subjected to course of manipulations
by which they are converted into a
kind of artificial leather, which is
made to look very fine, and may be
elegantly ornameIted. In France
they 60 through less elaborate trans
formation. At the military prison in
Montpelier the shoes, the majority of
which come from Spain, are ripped
apart and the nails are drawn out.
The parts are softened in water, and
are then cut up by machine into
vamps for children's or little girls
shoes. The soles are likewise utilized.
The smallest pieces are used to make
the Louis XIV. toes which were in
fashion few years ago. Pieces lit.
tie larger and thinner are made into
the soles of babies shoes. The nails
of iron are separated by means Of q
magnet from copper nails, and the
latter are sold for higher price than
the others. The manager of the prison
represents that the returns from this
manufacture nearly equal the cost OF
the old shoes.

A Curious Racing Mistake.

Among curious sporting incidents
should be recorded one told by Mr..
John Kent in his "Reminiscences of
Goodwood," where horse loses race
from being too far in front at the
winning post. Mr.. c. Greville, who
was Judge, was seated on an erection so
far above the level of the course that
Dandizette passed, unnoticed by him,
two or three lengths in advance of vi
tellina and Ghost, which were running
on the opposite side of the course.
Ghost hung SO much upon Vitellina as
to endanger her being driven against
the rails, which so attracted Mr.. Gre.
ville's attention that he did not see
Dandizette; and Boyce, who rode the
mare, asked Mr.. Greville if he did not
win, stating that, although he passed
the post first by some lengths, he could
have increased the lead had he felt dis
posed. So apparent was the error that

Eat up the poultry loafers.
If your hens a.e too fat to lay, put

tion when applied to manure. In
stead, they form compound with the
ammonia, thus helping to keep it from
washing. The nitrate of potash thus
formed is the most powerful fertilizer
known, and it is one that can be ap.
piled to nearly every kind OF crop or
fruit with benefit.
The American Sheep Breeder says:
Keep the sleeps feet dry and clean
while they are in the stable. 1t is quite
unnecessary to disturb the manure on
the floor if it is kept dry and well lit

feet ill prevent decomposition. and
keep the floor better in every way for

day. Plenty of common land plaster
should be sprinkled or scattered over
the litter. This will prevent all bad
