THE KLEPT0MANIACS.
HOW THEY OPERATE IN SELECT
SOCIETY.
PurioIn Articles of Value from the
Homes of the wealthy-Peculisr Con-
ditions Noted I'm omcIaI Circles at the
National Capital a

One of the leading jewelers. of the
capital was somewhat taken aback the
other day by receiving from the wife of
a high official an order for half dozen
gold nails with jewel in the head of
each and dozen small gold chains
He inquired the uses to which the nails
were to be put, when his patron said:
You see, l have a number of very
valuable objects of art, which, although
they are very expensive, are very small
and easily handled. AS the wife of an
official of the government l am Obliged
to open my house during the season to
the constituents of my husband and
the Washington curiosity seeking pub
lie in general. On my reception day
therefore, my house is crowded with
all sorts of people, and last winter I
suffered the loss of several of my most
valuable treasures. l have long been
trying to devise some plan by which l
can keep my objects of art outside of
my cabinets and yet not have them
stolen, for that is the only word / can
use in regard to the loss of my treas
ures. l have concluded that | must
either nail down some of the bric-a-
brac or chain it securely to the table,
and hence am going to try this rem
edy. That is why l want these nails
and chains" This woman's predic-
ament is not an unusual one in Wash
ington official circles. The klepto-
mauiaoS mho commit tba rnoct ao0ra-
waiting depredations are for the most
part well known leaders in society. Last
winter social circles in Washington
were greatly bewildered and shocked
by the doings of one of the best-known
women in official circles A number
of hostesses began to miss valuable
doilies from their dinner tables after
they had given lunches or dinners, and
finally several of them got together
and compared notes, and suspicion fell
upon one of the women who had been
the guest at luneheons given by those
gathered at the conference. Finally
the wife of a prominent diplomat de-
termined to stop the raid upon the
doilies, and at the next luncheon she
seated the suspected kleptomaniae next
to her. When the doilies were brought
on she watched her guest and discov-
cred that the latter laid her dolly on
the table, and earelessly dropping her
handkerchief over it, picked up both.
The hostess, in a most charming man
ner, turned to her guest and said
Pardon me, my dear Mrs. -, but l
am afraid you have my most exquisite
dolly in your handkerchief. 1t is so
fine I am afraid it will be crushed. and
therefore call your attention to your
inadvertence in taking it up with your
handkerchief" The guest was not in
the least abashed, and, with a laugh,
she shook out her handkerchief and
the dolly fell back on the table, where
upon she exclaimed: "Why. dear me, so
l havel How very careless of met
There were significant glances all
around the table, but no more doilies
were lost during that season.

EDUCATION IN EGYPT.
The Facilities and Pupils Are Increasing
Each Year.


Education has made gratifying prog
ress. though the principle pursued has
for its present end a few youths well
educated for the public service rather
than a wider distribution of primary
instruction. Still each year sees the
number of pupils increased, and an
advance along the line of modern edu-
cation from the middle-ag program
of learning prevalent in all Moslem
schools. The people themselves have
shown remarkable interest, and de-
mand more modern methods. Schools
supported by native subscription have
been opened for both boys and girls,
European teachers engaged, and gov
eminent inspection solicited. What
may be taken as more indicative still
of the new spirit abroad is the fact
that the great Ell Azhar university at
Cairo. the famous center of all OF
Islam's scholastic theology, has ap-
piled for government teachers to teach
secular subjects. The seed of reform
has indeed spread, for it was among
the followers of this great school that
the most bitter opposition to the in
novations of infidel foreigners used to
be found Even now the government
can only afford a school fund of about
100000 annually, and spends this for
the education of only about 1900 flu
ture civil servants. Outside of this
100000 children attend the village
schools. supported by local contribu-
tions and small grants made by the
government TO such of them as submit
to government inspection, and teach
small amount of modern reading.
writing. and arithmetic in addition to
the old lessons in the Koran and sa-
cred history. The result of this work
is seen in the requirement that all ap
plicants for positions in the govern
ment service shall have passed GER
tain examinations in the schools. The
work of securing the best Of public
servants has thus been begun.-Har

strange Marriage Cnstom..

Northern India and the island Of
Banquerry can certainly claim to lave
the most peculiar marriage rites of any
land. In northern India a COW and a
calf are invariably required at the
marriage. The animals are driven into
n narrow running stream, the priests
and the betrothed couple also stand
ing in the water. The man and the
woman each catch hold of the cows
tail, and the priest pours water out of
a glass vessel upon the joined hands
while all present repeat prayers. The
young people are then declared man
and wife, and the priest claims the COW
and calf as his fee In the island of
Banquerry the officiating priest takes
a sharp knife and with it makes a
small incision in the right leg of the
bride and bridegroom; from each in
cision he gathers few drops of blood
and transfers them to the other ones
leg The operation. together with a
short religious formula. constitutes the
whole of the marriage ceremony.

from the poet-soldier marquis of the
seventeenth century, but he has dash
of the blood of the wonderful Sheri-
dams in him. His great-aunt married
the son of the author of The School
for Scandal" and his maternal grand
mother was also half Sheridan. The
first marquis of Graham distinguished
himself in the campaigns of the Gov
enanters. The present marquis is just
over 81, and is shortly to be examined
for a yachtmaster's certificate. He is
writing a book on the subject of the
manning Of the mercantile marine. 1t
must be something rarely heroic which
the marquis is attempting, for Clark
Russell composed this for one of the
London papers:
This gallant and high-spirited
young nobleman quilted the exalted
social platform he adorns to enter the
arena of human labor that. by personal
experience, he might qualify himself
hereafter to deal with what your able
contemporary, the Naval and Military
Records, affirms TO be the gravest ma
tional question of the century. Such
virtues of sympathy and humanity are,
to use the language of that sweet and
gentle genius, Sir Henry Wotton.
more precious than the most glorious
triple diadem.'
This, however, is the nautical career
OF the marquis. When he left Eaton,
in 1895, he Joined H. NJ. S. Voltage,
training ship for boys, where he re-
NAMED for year and half, and then,
after some yachting in the Mediter-
ranean. went in H. M. S. Melpomene
to India on an expedition lasting from
October, 1897. to April 1898, to observe
the solar eclipse. In these ships he
had sufficiently mastered seamanship
and navigation to join Dewitt and
Moore's vessel. the Hesperus, as a
junior mate, in which capacity he
served from November last year till
the end of last June, visiting Australia.
