The PiGkpocket's Origin.

The origin of the pickpocket takes
one too far back in history to be ex-
planned in detail here. but the prob.
ability 10 that his natural history is
contemperaneous with that of the
pocket. When pockets were sewed
into our clothes. and we began to put
valuables into them, the pickpocket's
career was opened up; to-day he is
one of the most expert criminal spe
cialists. In the United States he has
frequently begun life as a newsboy,
who, if he is dishonest, soon learns
how 20 make change from the 'fob'
pocket of mems coats. If he becomes
skilled at this kind of "grsfting," and
attracts the attention of some older
member of the pickpockets' guild. he
is instructed in the other branches of
the art, or trade, as one pleases; I
call it trade. An apt pupil can be-
come an adept before he is in his
teens; indeed, some of the most sue
cessful pickpockets in the country TO-
day are young boys.-Josiah Flynt,
in the Independent.

days and nights he was in my service
he never tasted food and took only two
hours sleep each night, but at inter
walls of two hours and half or three
hours he repeatedly chewed about
half an ounce of coca leaves and kept
an 'acullico' continually in his mouth.
WAS constantly beside him, and there.

observing him. The work for which
I had engaged him being finished, he
accompanied me on two days jour

on foot, he kept the pace of my mule
and halted only for the chaccar Chew
ing). On leaving me he declared that
he would willingly engage himself
again for the same amount of work
and that he would go through it with.
out food if T would but allow him a
sufficient supply of coca. The village
priest assured me that this man was
si1ty-two years of age and that he had
never known him to be i'll in his life. !"

Honolulu's Many Institutions.

As town Honolulu is peculiar in
its numerous charities, schools, in.
stitutions and churches, in which,
among towns of equal population, il
would be hard to find it's equal. II
has never forgotten its missionary '
origin, and, besides its local missions
to the Chinese and Japanese, main
tains missions of its own in the Orient.
Many of the local establishments are
due to the generosity Of the old
Hawaiian nobility, and will preserve
their memories in respect when their
frailties are forgotten. The houses
are for the most part plain, suited to
the climate, without cellsrs or chin.
neys, but with generous verandas. 1t
is not a place where the housewife
will take much comfort. Notwith-
standing the fertility of the soil when
irrigated, fruit, vegetables-in fact,
all local products-are surprisingly
high; meats are very poor, and the
cost of imported articles is of course
not low. With intelligence and a
garden much can be done, but the
town-dweller's lot here is difficult.
The servants are chiefly Orientals.
Unfortunately, the hotels and restau.
rants are worry inferior, and the 80.
journer must put. up with poor food
and service, at prices which at first
seem quite unreasonable. American
enterprise will soon remedy the worst
of these snnoyances, and the self.in'
terest of the local population will in
time take care of the rest.-Corre.

Description OF the Sword Fish.

The sword fish has. long, 1.-the,
muscular body, with fms snugly fitting
into grooves, and is perfectly adapted
in every way for'the most rapid move
ments in the water. Its velocity when
swimming at full speed is said to be
equal to that of swivel shot, and the
shock is as dangerous in its effects as
that of heavy artillery projectile.
With its tremendous speed it can
outrun the swiftest shark, although
the latter are fast swimmers, and in
battling with these creatures it maneu-
vers all around them, to the great be-
wildermert of the latter. Usually it
will strike the shark a dozen times in
as many different places before it is
destroyed by its heavier enemy.

A "Dietary" Luncheon.

Visiting delegates of the National
Household Economic Association were
entertained at a 'dietary" luncheon,
served at Lewis Institute. Each re.
ceived just what proportion of pro.
teids, carbohydrate and fats supposed
to be necessary to preserve the health
and strength of the normal woman.
The bill of fare included pressed
chicken, currant jelly, creamed pota.
toes, brownbread,' baked apple with
cream, sponge cake and chocolate.
When reduced to the mathematical
terms of Professor W. o. Atwater's 8
chart, according to which it was COM
piled, the proportions of this menu
are shown to be nine-tenths of an
ounce of proteids, nine-tenths of an
ounce of fats, and three and two-tenths
ounces of carbohydrates. The prep
aration of the luncheon was exact!
Everything was weighed. Chicago

Six OF the Latest Costumes.

There's q flavor of old.timeness in
most of the latest fashions. Witness
the poke-bonnets with their volumi-
nous strings tied under the chin and
the skin-tight skirts that fare and
trail at the hem so reminiscently of
fifty years ago. In the cut of the fig
ure in violet cloth, shown in the large
engraving, we have a costume which
might have stepped right out of some
ancestral picture-fr frame, the absence
of the pouch bodice front, the entire
lack of sleevefulness upon the shoulder
and the tendency to skirt-drapery are
to be noticed first of all. The frock's g
material is smooth-faced cloth in
parma violet. A directoire hat in
gray felt and trimmed with white
gauze draperies mingled with violet
velvet completes the costume.
The Princesse cut of frock is much
affected. If not the Princesse proper,
it is the Princesse effect, or at least
a part Princesse model. The gown OF
biege cloth trimmed with guipure,
shown in the large cut, for instance,
has the regulation twisting skirt. but
with a Princesse tunic, the latter be-
ing 80 cleverly cut as to form pointed
zouave in front with crossover apron.
Biege-colored satin-faced cloth is the
material employed. The trimming
consists of fancy steel buttons and a
coarse guipure in black. The latter
adorns the pointed revers and turned
down-collar of biege colored moire
silk.
Embroidery is employed with rich
effect upon velvet this year. In the
figure in embroidered velvet ap'
pears a Princesse frock of dead-black
velvet, embroidered in black silk. In
the back the tight fitting corsage ends

Applause and Criticism.

It was after the piano recital and
the audience was still applauding.
There were two English women,
though, who did not clap their hands.
But they commented in tones that
were audible for some distance
around, thus:
"The poor man! Will they make
hin play again?"

cans applaud. It's SO vulgar"

oId-Fashioned Life Preservers.

Msny years ago a fire occurred on
Staten Island ferryboat which
created panic similar to that which
was caused by the sinking Of the Chi
cago. But in those days women wore
balmorals and hoopskirts, and all who
had the courage to leap into the water
were saved, for their hoops ballooned
their clothes and kept them adoat un-
til help arrived. A woman once tried
to commit suicide by leaping off a
bridge, but, having neglected to re.
move her crinoline, she floated around
as lively as duck while half the popu-
lation of the town derided her. For
three hours she was kept in the water,
most of the time crying and promis'
ing, and when hauled out was com.
pletely cured of the self-destructive
mania. New York Press.

A Struggle For Consistency.

Prince Henry of Orleans has a
pleasant system of literary work.
When he travels he takes with him q
corps of talented men, including a
physician, scientist, an editor, a
historian and photographer, each OF
whom makes a daily contribution to
the book which is TO describe the
journey. In describing his method at
a Paris salon, a friend ironically
asked:
"And what is the hard work which
you do for your book?'
''The hardest of ALL" said the
Prince. "I have the overwhelming
duty of making the various accounts

with narrowest borders Of black as

of the velvet, stitched vertically.
Taken all in all, this frock, exhibits a
notable number of the newest notions

Many stitchings adorn. the frock
shown in the last cut of the large
group, and as they followa spreading,
scalloped design they have almost the
effect OF row upon row of narrow
braiding. The underskirt has deep
band Of plain stitching as hem fin
ish; the tunic is bordered with seal
loped stitching, while upon the jacket
every edge and goodly portion of
the loose, double. breasted front the

In contrast to the straight-backed
coat is the chic little velvet Eton
jacket pictured in the large cut. tits
tight-f fitting and ouble-breasted, and
it boasts the highest of high collars.
Broad, pointed revers of fox give
character to the jacket front, the COL

in white silk cord. Accompanying
this jacket is toque in black velvet,
stitched in white to correspond with
the Eton's trimming, and having q
large white plume at one side.
