South American Pickpockets.

Practice makes perfect even in
wrong-doing and in the use Of what
seem to be very awkward means. A
writer in the Boston Transcript says:
The Gauchos. or dwellers, on the exten-
sive plains of Buenos Ayres, are mar
velously dexteriOus with both hands
and feet. Many Of them have ac-
quired, through long practice, such skill
In using their toes instead of fingers
that they can fling the lasso and even
pick pockets with them. Some time
ago a Frenchman, who was fishing In
one Of the rivers of Buenos Ayres, was
warned to be on his guard against the
light-ingered natives. He forthwith
kept a vigilant watch upon his com.
panions, but, nevertheless, one day
when his attention was closely riveted
on his float, a willy Gaucho drew near
and delicately inserting his foot, ex-
tracted the Frenchman's hooks and
other valuables from his pocket

EDUCATION IN SAN FRANCTSC.


They have a school question in San
Francisco too, and Mr.. Webster, super
lntendent of schools there, is putting in
to operation a plan of education which
pleases San Francisco parents, accord
ing to the papers of that city, but which
many educators may be expected to de-
ster intends to make paramount in the
curriculum of the grammar school the
three Rs of old-time pedagogy. Humane
education, nature-study, physiology,
and the like will only be taught in
oral lessons Of short length and infre-
quent occurrence Drawing, music,
sewing, etc, are to be taught but for
half hour each week, which will result
not only in economy of time to the
pupil, but probably an economy in
school funds, as the number of special
teachers required in these lines under
present conditions will not be main
tanned. Those studies which, Superin-
tendent Webster has declared absolute
~ essential, and which will be expand
ed at the expense of the special lines
are arithmetic, grammar. spelling and
defining, composition, reading, writing
geography, bookkeeping and civil gov

4 FINANCIAL NOTE.

BUSINESS isn't as brisk at the head
quarters of the Franklin syndicate 40 r.
was, and. when Mr.. Miller, the boss
financier, is found, If he ever IS he vii,
not be as clipper as he has been. Moro
than five hundred per cent. year was
what the Franklin syndicate undertook
to pay those who entrusted it with their
money. 1t enjoyed the confidence Of it's
patrons and it had many. When the
syndicate. which Is understood to be
another name for Miller, was asked If
it expected to collapse, it, or, rather, he.
replied: mo, I am doing legitimate
business and have always paid ten
per cent. week to every one of NV
depositors. I will give five thousand
dollars to any charitable institution If
you will find one Of my customers who
is dissatisfied, or who will say that I
have cheated him."
Mr.. Miller. though a young man, is
d good judge of human nature, and If
he has got safely away with money
enough, he has shown himself a good
judge of the time for disappearing.
There isn't much use talking to people
who have given their money to him.
They can only learn by experience, and
five hundred and twenty per cent.
year was very tempting to them. No
wonder they thought that Miller was
bigger man than the measly and stingy
little flnanciers who could only afford
to pay them three or four per cent. a
year for their money.

Fashion NOTES.


Furs hats are seen in great numbers
and though there are lots of sable tur-
bans trimmed with plume arrange
ments of shirred white net or tulle the
scheme seems to remain distinctive
and elegant one. Fur hats trimmed
only with a great pompon of Wolets are
also abundant and all of them look
well 1t seems as if the most swagger
place for a beastie is coiled about a
hat, and it is a common sight to see a
beastie of sable on a hat of chlhchilla,
or the reverse, the further trimming of
such a hat being great pompon of
white net or lace. Hats of stitched
cloth in felt or velvet shapes are trim
med with plumes and folds of velvet

session There are very few inter-
spaces between town centers whore
there are considerable communities
without religious institutions or relig-
ious influences, and where gross i'm
morality and virtual heathenism are
found. For forty years or more, a
State Sunday School association has
been looking after the interspacee, and
for nearly twenty years the Connecti-
cut Bible society has been active in
the interests of evangelization. Conse-
quently the regions between town CEN

In the connection it may be added
that the membership OF the New Eng
land Congregational churches alone in
1880 was 214,0O0; in 1889, $4,000; in
1899, 100000. By the census of 1890 the
Protestant church membership of New
England was about / in of the en-
tire non-Catholic population, viz, 20
per cent. In 1898 the New England
Congregational churches alone spent
in their own home missionary work
Sl21, 600, while they contributed to home
missions outside Of New England,
$S04,OoO. At the same time they gave,
in round numbers, $250,oOO to foreign
missions.
Such an exhibit, while 1t docs not
minister to pride, certainly calls for
thankfulness to God, and offers great
encouragement to all Protestant Chris
tians in their efforts to promote evan

Nearly all trimmings are in swirl and
rounded fold effects, or, at least, that
kind of trimming is a feature Of the
newest models. All white hats again
appear. A hat of white grebe is trim
med with bands and folds of stitched
white cloth and great white tulle POM
pons. Hats showing an unbroken,
foamy rise of white shirred tulle on
one side, have dip of fur or cloth on
the other side. Tinted grebe and grebe

is anywhere else. A half worn muff

Even the simpler of the stylish hats
disclose some of the indicated charac-
teristcs In their trimming. Thus in the
modified English walking shape that
the artist puts here, the handsome nat
ural colored quill was curved, instead
of having that perky straightness that
has recently been characteristic of
these feathers. The hat itself was tan
felt, the brim finished with bias fold
of tan velvet, another fold of the same
going around the brim. A large paste
buckle held the quill. One of the stitch
ed velvet hats is also shown in this
picture. 1t was black, trimmed with
black plumes and Jet ornaments, with
dark red velvet roses resting against
the hair. In all but size 1t was on the
picture order. and one will find on look
ing over stylish millinery that the out
right picture hat and the dressy types
are closer together than is usual.
