WOMEN SHOPLIFTERS
REVELATIONS OF A FRENCH DOC
TOR ABOUT KLEPTOMANIACS
Theory as to How the Madness for
Theft Arises and Develops
Involuntary Thieves.
From the London Mail.

From the London Mail.
The problem Of the kleptomandac-so far,
at least, as 1t concerns the women who ap-
parently steal without motive articles they
can scarcely require-has been closely stud
led by French doctors and criminologists
and DR.. Paul Dubuisson. one of the best
as he is one of the latest Of the investiga-
tors, has just published some extraordinary
revelations Of the way in which this mad
ness for theft arises ard develops.
Scarcely day passes in Paris when one
of the courts has not to consider the case
Of woman accused OF theft at the Bon
Marche. the Louvre or the Printemps The
interest OF these cases Is increased by the
fact that although a few professional
thieves and some persons who are driven
to theft by poverty may be among their
number, by far the majority OF these shop
thieves are ladies' in easy circumstances.
Some OF them, indeed. are rich.
DR.. Dubuisson reminds the public that
this curious trait has been called "instinc
tive monomania" because it leads to the
preparation Of deeds which neither reason
nor sentiment encourages; which the con-
science reproves. and the will has not the
power to repreSs. The actions of such
kleptomaniacs have been held to be invol-
untary. irresistible, instructive.

OF them are in easy circumstances, and
many OF them are RICH The articles they
take are often of no use to them, or they
do not need them. or they have already IN
their homes similar articles, and often more
than they require. Another point Is that
when arrested at the door Of the shop they
readily distinguish from the rest Of their
possessions the stolen article. and many of
them admit possession Of It with an express

FACTS ABOUT OYSTERS
CONTAIN ALL CLASSES OF FOOD
SUBSTANCE.
Combine Proteids, Carbohydrates, Fat
and Mineral Salts in As
similable Form.

From the London Lsncet.
There is no doubt that the oyster is gen
orally regarded as deiicacy and dainty
morsel. whatever may be said as to its real
worth as an article OF nutriment. Further
1t is usually agreed that the oyster is Of a
highly digestible character - an opinion
which has doubtless had a large share in
making oysters q very popular article OF
food. Few can regard the oyster as an
essential factor of a daily dietary. It Is
rather delicacy, and, like all real delica-
cies. it commands a high price. From
strictly chemical point Of view the high
class native Is. of course, not worth the
money that is usually paid for 1t. but the
same may be said OF high-class wines,
which, though Infinitely superior to the
cultivated palate, yet present a chemical
composition much in common with cheap or
ordinary wines. The question naturally
arises whether, In view OF the risk which
has been shown occasionally to exist in
eating an oyster poisoned with a sewage
1t ought to be banished. to be absolutely
safe. from even the category Of special or
delicate foods. On account OF their great
digest1bility and light character and appe-
dzing flavor, oysters are commonly recon-
mended to the fastidious invalid. 1t has
been said that the oyster digests itself. and
this is probably true. when we consider that
the edible part consists almost exclusively
OF liver. We have considered 1t of interest
to place before our readers the results Of an
Investigation undertaken In the Lancet lab
oratory bearing mainly upon the chemical
composition of the oyster, and we venture
to think that, apart altogether from the
point of view Of the exquisite flavor and
delicacy Of the oyster. the results throw
light upon its nutritive value and bring
forward some points Of dietetic significance.
The oysters examined belonged to the

Analysis Of the Oyster.
The organic portion OF the oyster was sub
mitted to analysis. The analysis included
the determination OF the heterogeneous con-
stituents. glycogen, fat and nitrogen-free
substances.
On account OF the glycogen In oysters the
mcllusc has been regarded as unsuitable for
diabetic patients. According to our analyses,
however, the amount OF liver sugar in the
oysters which we examined was very small
and certainly considerably. less than half
that found by previous observers. We made,
however, a number Of experiments on this
point, and in no instance did the amount Of
glycogsn IN the raw oyster exceed ! per

Gods best gifts are always before us,
never behind. Pleasures of memory, are
sometimes delightful, but pleasures of hope
are ever yet richer and brighter, especially
to the eye and thought Of faith. Says one
blessing from God: "This sudden coming
of long-expected blessing is the sweetest
thing that ever came into my life. How
good God is and how tenderly He leads US.
He changes always a great good into a

Popularity of Shirring.

The popularity of shirring amounts
to fad. 1t is used on coats and peler-
ines to as great an extent as OH gowns.
Shirred strapping. says Toilettes, is
the latest form the craze has taken,
straight pieces of the material of the
gown, with edges turned under, are
shirred in three or four rows over soft
cord to cover the seams OF gored skirts.
Everything shirred ol gathered into
rutfles or ruchings is in high vogue.
even the lace edgings on the borders
of handkerchiefs, ties. transparent
stocks and various articles of lingerie
is invariably gathered quite full in the

Shawl Points on Ribbon.

Usually the black tatfeta hair ribbons
used by school girls are clipped with
deep swallow-tail indentations. Inc
exact reverse of this cut is seen in the
new fashion of clipping the ends or
ribbon used in rosettes or crown bands
or simple bows and loops in millinery.
The deep, sharp and narrowly pointed
centre of the middle ribbon is shaped
as q SHAWL point" You can scarcely
help noticing them on the new straw
walking hats. 1t is particularly strik-
ing where two shades Of ribbon are
used, and the "shawl points" are
spaced like shingles on roof.
