 A shop filters, the bane of all re- tail stores in other large cities, are almost unknown in San Francisco. They are evidently not indigenous to our climate, and the few representa- tives of this especial department of nefarious industry who have visited us have done so at rare intervals and for brief seasons.
 Our merchants do occasionally suffer from the small depredations of dis honest persons, but almost all the cases of shop lifting which occur in our stores are the bungling work of suddenly tempted persons who, trust ing to the apparent preoccupation of those around them, yield to an ire sistible impulse to appropriate some trifle which lies conveniently near and is seemingly unprotected.
 An instance of this kind of extem- poraneous thieving occurred in one of our large Market-street stores a day or two since, when a young man of previously excellent reputation, well dressed and decorated with a genuine diamond ring and cravat pin, with over $15 in his pocket, and holding a position paying him s100 a month, was seen to deliberately steal package of lady's face powder and conceal it in his overcoat pocket.
 He had not been drinking and he appeared to be perfectly sane, and his only remark when he was forced to acknowledge his guilt was that he didn't know why he took the thing. but he did''
 To this class, too, belong the here tofore respectable and upright women who suddenly horrify their friends and disgrace their families by being caught in the act of taking articles which do not belong to them. There is generally some small shadow of ex- | cuse in the charitable mind for these offenders, since the petty crime-petty | in all save it's consequences-is usu- l ally the result of a starved life
 A woman who has little money to 1 spend. and perhaps many to spend that little for. may have a longing for luxurious trifes of silk and lace and ribbon which amounts almost to a 1 mania To such a person the tempta- ton of tables and counters and bas- kets. full to overfiowing of the things of which circumstances sternly de prive her, is actually cruel. and the
 wonder is rot that an occasional gir' or woman takes advantage of what
 seems to her an opportunity to se- cure some of the things which she SC | hungrily covets. but that so many
 resist the temptation and preserve | their integrity in such surroundings.
 Unhappily, the first theft if unde- tected emboldens the offender to make | further raids on the property of others Having eluded observation once the | feat seems easy and the results desira ble, and the next pilfering is the out l come of plan and not of impulse Wo men of this description are unpleasing | ly numerous and cause our merchant. i and their employees no little trouble. tn. | actual arrests made bearing but smal l proportion to the number of case: l where. for many reasons, mercy ha.

T WO men on the Eastern sea-
 board have planned to cross the
 Atlantic Ocean in novel man.
 R ner-one will sail in new four
 teen-foot boat and the other will walk Captain William c. Old rieve of Boston has planned to walk across the ocean next July He will begin his journey July 4, and be accompanied by Captain William A. Andrews, famous by reason of his voyages across the Atlantic in a small boat. It is nothing new for Cap tain Oldrieve to promenade the waves. That has been his pleasure and profit these ten years. The seagoing shoes of MT. Oldrieve are the most wonderful part of the whole affair. At first thought they seem as fabulous as the six-league boots of fairy lore Yet they are simple enough when understood. They are really pair of cedar boxes five feet long, with fins on the bottom and sides. They are very light and capable of sustaining 140 pounds, but as Oldrieve weighs only 130 they are as good to him as a steamers deck Into each of these wooden shoes the water walkers feet are thrust down deep and a rubber garter-like affair is fastened to his leg, thus effectually keeping out the water. Rubber boots reaching to the thigh are also worn When thus equipped Oldrieve is able to walk many miles and to travel over choppy seas, and even the heavy swell of the ocean,
 "I have perfect confidence of being able to walk a great part of the dis tance across the Atlantic. I shall keep an exact record of the miles walked each day. Of course, I shall sleep and take my meals on board with Captain Andrews. But I shall stick to the water-walking feat during most of my waking hours. You see want to make a worlds record that shall never be beaten. l am young and strong and in the very best of condition, and now is the time for me to attempt this great thing, if I ever do. I have had it in mind for years"
 William C. Oldrieve is a sturdilv built young man of % years. He is but five feet four inches in height and weighs 1S0 pounds. Every pound of that however, is hard muscle and bone. His strength has been devel- oped. too, in actual walking on the water which he has been doing since 1887. In November. 1888, he walked down the Hudson River to New York City from Albany, d distance of 16O miles. A week later he walked across the choppy East River. In January, 1889, he walked through Hunts Falls, on the Merrimac River, at Lowell, ! Mass. In February, 1890, he walked

won't get me. This keeps me feeling splendidly.
 At first I shall put right out into the Gulf Stream. This will keep both Oldrieve and myself warm and help us along a mile an hour, at least. '~'
 II make one observation a day, at noon, by the sun, to get my latitude, and 1 rely on passing vessels for my longitude. I can keep that in mind pretty well for days at a time, because I can tell about how fast I am sailing. l shall act as father to young Oldrieve on this voyage. 1 will go ahead and show him the way and take him aboard at night and during storms. but he has got to depend on his own legs for getting most of the way across"

ANCESTORS AND ANCESTRY.
(From Hsrper's Bazaar.

Now it must be admitted on common
sense principles that the formation of
hereditary societies has reached a natura
limit, and it Is time to cry halt. The
reasonable conclusion Is that these socie-
ties should unite in work, if not in organ
ization, and justify their existence by
practical deeds. The end, however, is
apparently not yet; the ancestor quest
drives it's followers to absurd lengths
Forefathers conjured up rise from the
genealogical caldron in sort of harle-
d uin process sion-the ancestor in buff and
blue, the ancestor in scarlet tunic, the
bewigged ancestor. the jack booted ances-
tor, until from the dim twilight OF
heraldic tradition the crowned ancestor
looms up in the shadow. Is there not
something decidedly incongruous in the
spectacle of descendants of those who babe
defiance to the third George OF the name
seeking to establish kinship with royalty
through Saxon chief or Norman freehoot.
erP Does not this latest departure tend
to prove that ancestor hunting has no
limit. that it is SIMPLY question of en-
terprise, research and credulity? If we
may establish the Order Of the Crown,
WHY may we not in due course welcome q
new hereditary society ,slineal descendants
of the mariners of the ark, the Ararat
chapter, with proper Acknowledgements

him was bound to admit within myself
thai jealousy was now the only cause of
my bitter antipathy.
Again, other incidents increased the
mystery. Mrs. Laing's dread that Ella
should know of Dudley's death was very
curious, and her ordinations and in
quirieS OF the doctor regarding his con-
lecture of poison seemed to point to the
fact that she entertained certain susplc-
ious, or was aware of certain facts. But.
after fully reviewing the tragic affair in
all it's phases I arrived at the conclusion
that Dr. Allenby did not anticipate for
one moment finding poison at the post
norton. On the contrary, from the
words he had let Drop he undoubtedly
believed death due to heart disease. 1
could not, however, rid myself of vague
suspicion that Elias mother feared an
alysis of the remains of the dinner, and
that the presence of the police unnerved
her, as it invariably does those who are
guilty.
Until the sun shone out, casting long
bright beam across the dingy carpet, l
wondered over these curious facts in their
sequence, unable to elucidate the deep
mystery uderlying them. After dismal
sleepless night, haunted by a nameless
spectral fear, the ray of sunshine brought
back hope and banished despair. l found
myself at last rejecting that, after all,
Dudley had expired suddenly from a
cause to which any of US might be liable,
and it was probable that l had been scent
ing mystery and tragedy where there
were none.
l rose and actually smiled at the weird
and horrible nature of the thoughts that
throughout the wearying night had held
me spell-bouud in indescribable dread and
terror.
