Fairly RemuneFative Calling in the Aggregate.

The amount of money which pick pockets take in annually is probably greater than that of any other special is:s in crime. It would be idle to say how large it is, but it is a well-known fact that thousands of dollars are stolen by them at big public gatherings to which they have access. It was report ed, for instance, that at the recent con- federate soldiers reunion ir the south $3O,OOO was stolen by pickpockets, and almost every day in the year one reads in the newspapers of a big "touch" reaching into the thousands. I think 1t is a conservative statement to say that in lifetime the expert pickpocket steals $2O.oOO. Multiply this figure by 1,sOO, which have given as the number of frst-class grafters in the country, and the result reaches high up into the millions. Like other professional thieves, the pickpocket throws away his money like water and very seldom thinks of saving for sld age, but prace tically all successful mobs have "fall money" tan expense fund for paying eUCsS WHCIl tAt-S ktI of from $3,OO0 to $5,oO0 each carefully banked, and know of one pickpocket who is the owner of some very valuable real estate. good illustration of the rapidity with which they recoup them selves financially after period of rest or a term in prison is the story told about one of them who returned to this
 
 to Europe. The man related the in- cident to a friend of mine. Didn't have red" he said. 'I tackled saloon keeper knew for a couple of thousand. How long do you think was paying him back? Three weeks"
 If the pickpocket knew how to save his money and could invest it we'll his children might some day be our mill lionaires.-Isaiah Flynt, in Independ- enH

BicycIes in War.

The present campaign in South Af- rica is practically the first opportunity the military authorities have had of putting the cycle corps to a real test. As scouts and skirmishers they have proved most useful. The cyclist corps attached to the Durban light infantry recently covered route of 90 miles in one day for the purpose of obtaining information of the Boer forces, doing no small amount of fighting on the way. The rapidity of their movement start1es the enemy, who ought to be unable to cope with the tactics cycle corps adopts. They seem able to get away with most anything, however,

 More than 500 men who were work ing at the barbers' trade in St. Louis prior to the enforcement of the new state license law have left the city. These could have registered within the 90-day limit for one dollar each without passing an examination, but under the law the board can in its judgment revoke the license of any barber unable to pass the examina- tion. Fearing the latter, the 500 in- ferior workmen preferred to go else where.

The lepton is, according to the decimal monetary system. current fn all countries belong ing to the Latin union. Some idea of this vaiueless little disc may be gath cred from the fact that the lepton is the one-hundredth part of a drachma.
