THE HOLD-UP MAN.
The Up-to-Date Bill siI&es Shocks His Victims Into Submission by
 an Electric Current.

The old-fashion Id jimmy may do for the burglar who operates in remote country districts. Tn up-to-date Bill Sikes has moved with { times, and in order to relieve his ne1 hbors of their goods uses his brains as we'll IS brute strength. What may e called the electric confidence trick, as recently practiced in the streets of Madrid, shows that its inventor is a man of genius as we'll as crime.
 This thief, who has just been arrest ed, was distinguished above others of his profession by the perfection of his garments and appearance. In a pocket of his elegantly fitting coat was concealed the secret of his success. It was a powerful little electric battery, joined by wires to metallic plate, which he held in the palm of his right hand. Approaching his intended vic tim with outstretched hand he would greet him with the fervor of an old friend. Woe betide the unlucky man if he accepted the proffered hand shake. A sharp electric shock rem dered him powerless, and with a few delft movements he was stripped of watch, purse and jewelrY.

CHANGE IN WATCHES.
bhe Bulr's Eye of a Century Ago and the Modern Nachine-Made
 Timepiece.

The almost total disappearance of the old-fashioned .bulFs-eye" silver watches is a source of wonderment to even some watch dealers. It is practically impossible to pick up one now among them. A Chicago Trib- une reporter made the rounds of the watch, pawn and junk shops in quest of one of these old timepieces, and did not find it. One dealer said he knew where single specimen was, but later admitted that the owner either had sold or lost it. A veteran watchmaloer, who can make a watch by hand, in referring to the disap- pearance of the .bull's-eyes," said:
 ''It is only natural. I suppose, that they should disappear. None of them were tirst-class timepieces. mean that the best of them would vary as much as minute week. The cheaper maehine-made watches keep better time and cost less. The first of these old 'bull's-eyes' carried the regulation Virdge movement. One hundred years ago the Virdge watches were carried by all business men, Later the English watchmakers made 'bulPs-eyes' with improvements on the Virdge movement. I haven't seen Virdge for two or three years. As matter of fact, those old-fash- toned key-winding silver watches are worth only what the silver in the cases amounts to. The metal repre- sents about a dollar in value. Tho works are worthless. Only one or l. I.xx the dealers. Sometimes they are useful in repairing family heirlooms. What are they worth? Why, nothing at all as timepieces. The best way to get one is to keep on inquiring among the grandfathers and great uncles until you run across one, and then beg it or buy it. It is practical ly worthless, except as relic"

LITTLE HINTS FOR WOMEN.

Hindoo cachemires are an imita ton of real India caeIiemires.
 A fashionabel combination is black, white and blue.
 Lightweight linen will be used for summer lingerie.
 Quills are sprinkled with jet, and very broad ones are used.
 In coaching parasols hemstitched ef- fleets are prominent.
 Very effective are the nuns veilings with shiny colored silk borders.
 Tussore silks are spirited rival of pongee; they come in soft, pale cof- fee shade, look well and wear we'll.
 Dotted Swiss is again to enjoy a vogue. There has never been found a satisfactory substitute for this de- lightful material.
 Quite a feature of the seasons modes in floral garniture is the use of multitudes of the tiniest form of "pompon" or Banksia roses.
 Fans of white lace work, ornament ed with gold spangles and hand-paint- ed scenes symbolical of spring and summer, appeal to the women with dainty tastes.
 Incrustations of lace are the fad of the moment in Paris, but the newest idea is to mingle lace of two different shades-for instance, a light cream and a dark ecru lace-together in one square medallion.

New Food Fad.

The latest theory Of the proper food ior man tells us that in order properly 10 support life it is essential to feed ,n vital food. By vital food apparent " is meant food that in some sort ives. Nothing must be cooked, for fire destroys life,'' but anything may be sun.dried, for 1.the sun imparts
 ife.'' All meat is vigorously excluded from this new dietary, on the ground that flesh implies the loss of life to the animal, and, therefore, by meta- phorical implication, to the man who consumes it. But on this theory it would surely be permissible to eat, for instance, fresh oysters. As they have a larger share of vital force than, shall we. say, a cabbage stalk, they ought 70 impart a greater degree Of vital force to their consumer. The chief merit of this strange system lies in the necessity it lays upon it's support CTS to consume large quantities of fruit. It is probable that the ordi- nary mans diet would, from the point of view of health, be greatly improved if he ate. something like 20 times as much fruit as he does, though it is true that many people make up arrears manfully in the strawberry season, which is now on, and will probably be
 celebrated with as much vigor as usual. London Globe.v et

Jim with a club to induce him to come

him with club to induce him to come along with me.
 "One day had an aching tooth, and I decided to go to dentist and have the miserable molar yanked out. I felt so bad that I took that pointer pup along with me for company on my way to thedentist' office, and when he got to the door he slipped into the office with me. Next thing I knew taht pointer pup of mine was sitting back on his quarters, appointing at a picture of some ruff1ed grouse that the dentist had on the wall of his recep- tion-room.
 "In the course of time pointing got to be regular mania of that dogs, and I couldn't take him out for exer- else very often on account of his habit of tagging behind and pointing at feathered things. Took him out one afternoon when he was about year old, and a furniture van with a lot of pillows piled on top of some beds came along. One of the pillows was broken at the side and a lot of feath- CTS escaped. That dog of mine saw the flying feathers and blame me if he didn't sit down and point at that furniture van. Fact.
 'sBut that wasn't the cutest thing he ever did. The cutest thing he ever did was one afternoon when I took him down to the Santa Barbara beach for a walk on the sand. I hadn't any sooner got him down to the beach than he sat down and began to point out to sea. I couldn't for the life of me make out what he was pointing at. There wasn't ary a bird, not even sea-gull, in sight. But he kept right on squat ting there at the verge of the sea and pointing out over the water, and if ever man was puzzled then I was. At first l calculated that he might be mistaking the crests of the waves for feathers, but no, little reflection convinced me that he wasn't any such a fool dog as to do thing like that. Then I noticed that he was pointing directly at white ship that lay out in the harbor.. I pulled out my field glass es and took a look at the ship, and then the mystery was made clear. The ship he was pointing at was the Unit ed States man-o-war Petrel," and then the man with the shifty eye ex- eeuted a sudden leap and escaped from the car bef-re his wrat thful listeners could hop on him and macerate him.
