The burglar does not often reform.
He loves the excitement of housebreak-
ing, the setting Of wire traps to over
turn pursuers, the telescope ladders,
the dinner hours of a great house,
These are passion and almost in
eradicable. As to penal servitude, such
men care nothing for few years, which
they serve in the most exemplary man
ner, returning on ticket of leave much
sooner than a novice. Then comes the
debauch, the merry life, the brief holi-
day, which is so often taken up by
fresh crimes in the company of friends
newly released. A profitable "craci,"
as they say, more money for drink, days
of unreasonable vice, empty pockets
and fresh burglary, after period OF
scbriety wherewith to steady them
selves for their professional pursuits.
A clever criminal will never go straight
to any public house, and from thence
to the house of attack. Many have
been taken by such incauton, identifi-
cation being easy. There is perse-
verance and ability displayed by a
smart burglar which initiates against
all chances OF reformation, his abil-
tiles lying in stubbornly evil quarter
and in this alone, and so in the other
walks of habitual riminals.-Westm

For women who choose to become pro-
fessiOnal nurses the hospital experience
takes the place Of training school,
although some pass through minor train
ing schools before they reach the hOspi-
tails. Only few of the New York hos
pitals pay their nurses regular salaries.
In a large proportion Of the institutions
the experience, together with the out
fit, board and lodging, is regarded as
adequate compensation for the services
rendered. In some other hospitals the
nurses receive their board, lodging and
clothing, while in few high-class insti-
tutions the rank and file Of the nurses
receive from $40 to SIS a month in ad-
dltion to their board and lodging. Head
nurses, Of course, receive much better
pay. Once a qualified nurse starts in
business for herself she can command
fees commensurate with her experience
and skill.--New York Times.

THE SIXTH SENSE.

The face OF yesterday is not the same to-day,
An underlined but dlffrent spell lies In the fea-
lures play.
1t may be gay or sad, tint of color more or
less,
A sparkle, or a shadow new the eyes and
cheeks express.
A tone not heard before rings in some dear
ones voice,
That brings a sharp prophetic pain, or makes
the heart rejoice
One knows not why. One only feels some hid
den cause must be
In body or In mind, to work the change not all
do see.
Some few with lntultlon's ready power can
trace
In man or child these subtle changes Of the
voice or face;
With this sixth sense, almost divine, can see
and hear
The things not manifest TO common eye and
ear.
Methinks It needs Loves llstning walt and
Watchful sight
Faint undertOnes e. interpret and dim sights

OF all combined.

ulated animals with germs found in the
sap Of certain trees and that all the
symptoms Of cancer are produced. The
physician who makes these Startling
statements iC not man Of years OF ex-
perience. He has but recently received
his diploma and his ideas regarding
cancer were first made public in the
thesis which he wrote for submission to
the government experts that he might
receive the paper allowing him to prac-
tice medicine, as the French law pro-
vides. AS soon as his theories were
made known he became famous, and
now all the doctors of France are talk
ing Of him and his idea.
Doctor Noel says the presence of can
Ger In the human race is due to infection,
the germs being received either by man
ual contact or by absorption in food or
drink. He discovered several years ago
that cancer was much more prevalent
among residents Of thickly wooded sec
tions of the country, and was almost
unknown in cities and on high plateaus.
Then he began experimenting with the
sap Of various trees and finally discOv-
cred the germ, with which he inoccu-
lated a dog. The animal soon showed
every symptom Of cancer. The doctor
also claims the bOil-like growths or
excrescenses found on the limbs of trees
are infectious, and that the germs of
cancers and other diseases may be car
ried by wasps and other insects to the
body Of a human being
The novel theory is receiving deep
thought and attention in France and
it may yet be possible to vaccinate for
cancer.

The Uses Of Fruit,

OF all the classes of natures edible
productions that of fruit is the most
pleasing to the senses. That fruit alone
will not sustain life for a prolonged
period Is true, but that the organic salts
and acids Of fruits are necessary to the
maintenance of perfect health Is equally
correct. Prof. A. r. Elliot Dietetic and
HygieniC Gazette, NOvember) summar-
ICES the use of fruit as follows;
/. To furnish variety to the diet.
2. To relieve thirst and introduce wa
ter into the system.
5. To furnish nutriment.
4. To supply organic salts essentian to
proper nutrition.
5. To stimulate the kidneys, increase
the flow of urine and lower It's acidity.
6. To act as laxatives.
Z. To stimulate and improve appetite
and digestion.
8. To act as anti-scOrbutics.
Concerning the mode Of preparation,
ripe fruits as rule do not need to be
cooked, and are much more palatable
and equally nutritious in the uncoOked
state. The proper time to eat fruit Is
either at the beginning of the meal or
between meals, whom they aid digestion

Ten Dollars a Week for EIGHT.

In the October Ladies' Home Journal
Mrs. S. T. Rorer tells how family Of
eight persons can be fed-and we'll fed
at the aggregate cost of $40 per week.
She presents bill of fare for each meal,
with suggestions for changing and vary
ing them, and details how to prepare the
main dishes that enter into her ecOnomi-
cal plan Of supplying the family table.
"TO carry out the scheme" she says,
articles must be purchased ecOnOm-
ically, and no waste permitted. A table
which is supplied for a family OF eight
for $40 week must, Of necessity, be
plain, but it may at the same time, not
lack for variety or WhOlesomeness.
Sweetmeats and rich desserts must be
counted only as occasional luXuries,
and company dishes must be omitted
altogether. Meat, the most expensive
food item, may be purchased in a much
larger quantity than is needed for a
single meal, and utilized French fashion.
The poor and middle classes of this
country must learn more about the food
value of the legumens, more about the
proper preparation of food, and last, but
not least, more about the proper cOmbi-
nations Of food. Avoid the buying Of
steaks, rOasts and chops each week. 1t
is an expensive household indeed which
has no repertoire of cheap dishes. A
beef's heart or braised calf's liver
makes an excellent and economical
change. Broiled sleeps kidneys, with
a little bacon, give a good breakfast at
a cost of 10 cents. Smothered beef,
which may be made from the tough end
of the rump steak, is appetizing, and
costs half the price of an equal food
value of tenderloin steak.
"The housekeeper should go to mar
ket early and buy only the best mate
rials. They keep longer and go farther
than the inferior ones. Perishable food
should be bought in small quantities
two or three times week. Groceries
enough to last a month should be laid
in. Canned goods and conserved sweets
should be bought sparingly. Meat Is
always the most expensive article, and
not particle of it should be allowed to
go to waste"

Finds the Germ of Cancer.

Once more French physician has
come forward with discovery which
has startled the medical and scientific
world and which, if its claims prove
true, may lead to new methods in the
cure and prevention OF that most hOrri-
BILE of human ailments, cancer. 1t is
generally admitted by physicians that
the primary cause Of cancer Is unknown.
1t has always been q mystery. The
growths developed in certain people

The Old and Young.

I can conceive OF few sadder things in
old age than being without younger per-
sons who love us enough to correct us.
Yes! correct us; neither more nor less
than that; not rudely, Of course, nor inn
pertinently, nor in nagging, disrespect-
full way, as d!sagreeable In the manner
of the mother to the child as Of the child
to the mother; but who will correct us
in a way which, violating no law Of
gOOd-breeding or courtesy, can yet keep
us up to our own best mark.
For the tendency OF many of us, when
seventy is reached, is to let ourselves go
to pieces. We can call 1t resting on our
oars, or describe 1t with as picturesque
a set of symbols as we choose. But for
all that a man or woman comes to one
of the critical periods of life about the
time that age is reached. They can then
either sing under existing conditions,
let every encrOachment of age have its
way, excuslng themselves on the plea
Of years for every failure to meet them
gracefully or they can re-adjust them
selves to the changes years have
wrought, and with renewed spirit go
on, still young and still attractive be-
cause still growing and still alive.
And certainly the most adorable old
people are the old people who have met
age in the latter way, and who have
kept themselves alive to the criticisms
and suggestions of the young. "Have
your children told you yet that you
turn out your tOes;" said one middle
aged parent, laughing. to another His
laughter saved him. For all children,
when first grown, become absorbed In
their parents--it is a mark Of their af-
fectiOn-and they are more sensitive to
their failures, peculiarities or virtues
than to those OF all the rest Of the world.
And certainly no sweeter sight is to be
found than that OF young girls who are
interested In their fathers cravat, the
latest cut of his vest, or his looking the
very best on all occasions. For though
our fathers and mothers bring us up,
when a certain period is passed we turn
about, in all well-regulated families, and
return the compliment. The young ed
ucate the old as surely as once the old
trained them, and the really fascinating
