NO E
In IN They Couldn't Dispose OF
Plumber IL They Stole-An
IdyIlic Community.

The capture of the two negroes in this
city charged with having looted a jew
elry shop in Hamilton, Bermuda, will be
the chief topic of conversation for the
winter in that idyllic community, says
the New York World.
Bermuda is not accustomed to thieves.
No experienced Bermudan will enter the
profession of pilfering, at least of TAX
ing things that cannot be Immediately
eaten.
For what can be done with them? If
any property is taken the officers of the
law have only TO watch the steamship
docks. The stuff cannot be disposed OIL
on the islands. They are too small and
everybody knows everybody.
1t is a Bermudian legend that once a
bicycle was stolen. 1t was the talk of
the town. The next ensuing problem of
the thief was how to get any good of it.
He did not dare use it; he could not send
it out of the country.
That he finally gave it up" was proved
when six months later a fisherman
brought up the missing wheel from
fairly deep water upon his hook.

HOW THEY COLLECT BILLS.
Indians Have "a Delicate Way of Ap-
preaching Their DebtOrs-ThtIr
Dunning sticks.

The aboriginal debt collector literary
goes after his victim with a sharp stick.
Perhaps the phrase may have originat-
ed from the manner in which some indi-
ms realize on bills due them. The
Nushinan Indians of California may
have seen the disagreeable habit prev
alent among whites Of sending bills.
When II Indian owes another it is con-
sidered bad taste for the creditor to dun
the debtor. He proceeds with more del
icacy. He procures a certain number
of sticks, according to the amount oil
the debt, and paints a ring around the
end Of each. These he carries and losses
into the debtors wigwan and then goes
away without a word. The debtor In.
variably pays the debt and destroys the
sticks, as it is considered a reproach tc
have the January dunning stick thrown
into the wigwam. Indeed, the creditor
never uses them except with hard Gus
toners. r

The story is told of Mr.. Cannon's
purpose to go to a better hotel on
his election to the speakership than
he has formerly lived in. He accord
ingly was conducted by the clerk OF
one of the more fashionable establish
ments to such a small suite of rooms as
his actual needs required. "How muchis

The dinner Hour.

Englishmen in Queen E~lizabeth's time
dined at II a. m. and Shakespeare rung
up the curtain at the Globe theater at
one p. M, the performance ending be-
tween FIVE and six O'Clock. BY the time
of Charles II. dinner had advanced to
one o'clock and the play began at three
p. m, as Pepys records. A century later
Horace Walpole complained of dinner
being as late as four o'clock and even
ing not beginning until six O'Clock. UI
to the middle of the last century the
theaters opened at 6:30, dinner being
proportionately earlier.

INTERSTATE LEAGUE.
SHARKS RETURN 10 PREY.
R-cnppenrance In Baltic Drives Away
Small ~Fish-ETinny Tribe Likes
Change of Scene.

AS is we'll known. fish like a change of
home, and frequently, without apparent
reason, abandon waters in which they
have long d~isported, and are next found
in some distant part of the sea. A de-
sire for a change of scene, however, is
40, the cause of the pilchards suddenly
leaving the west coast of France, and
the fishermen are unable to discover the
reason.
Now it is announced, according to the
.testimonyo of fishermen, that the shark
has returned to European waters. In
the Baltic, where sharks had been ex-
tinct since 1859, they have made their
temperance in considerable numbers,
and several fishing boats report having
whole catches of fish devoured from
the nets, which were broken, in the
Belt and the C%attegat. A fisherman who
fell overheard narrowly escaped with his
life. Shoals of sharks, some of them of
large size, have been seen off the Ger
man coast, and they are even reported as
becoming far from rare in the North sea.
Their presence is attributed to their pur-
suit of the herring shoals on the west
coast of Norway.

WHEN A MAN SNEEZES.
English Surgeon Says 1t Is n Sign of
Good Health-Queer Oriental
Customs.

1t is reported that Mr.. "Johnathan
Hutchinson has said that when a
man sneezes heartily he may know
himself to be in the best of health"
and that mo person in poor health
was ever known to sneeZe." The
Scientific American, referring to this
reported statement, falls foul of the
English surgeon for making so dog
matte an assertion, when the con.
trary is so easily proved. The jour
nal in question then goes on to re-
late many old superstitions with re
gard to the i'll luck attending snee2-
ing, some of which, while proving
nothing, are interesting. 1t appears
that many savage and semi-civili2ed
races of the orient have some curious
customs regarding the sneeze. Hnen
the sultan of Monomtopa sneezes, for
instance, the fact is made known from
the palace by a certain signal. In
stantly every subject whiting hearing
of the signal sets up a shout, the cry
is taken up by others, and so extends
until it runs through the confines of
his empire. When the sultan of Senaar
sneezes, on the contrary, every woman
in his harem or within hearing turns
her back on him, and makes a sign
of contempt ~ shifting her hips with
her bands-disgusted that so mighty
a parsonage should have to sneeze like
an ordinary mortal.

IDENTIFY a superstitious rite which no one
but themselves could understand, The
m were middle aged, the New York
Herald states, and beyond reproach in
appearance, and no one noticed them,
as they crossed Herald square; but mid
way of the Thirty-fifth and Thirty-sixth
street block they paused, turned back
and together retraced their footsteps for
a short distance, gazing steadily at the
ground as though they had lost some
thing. When they had gone a few yards
they stopped, and each woman put out
her right foot and carefully touched one
of the paving stones with the toe of her
shoe. Then they turned again and re-
sumed their walk in the most matter OF
fact way in the world. But the on
lockers did not take it so coolly.
New Workers are a curious people, and
those who had noticed the women's ac-
ton resolved to find out if there was
anything peculiar about one of those
paving stones. They stared eagerly to-
ward that part of the pavement, and
other persons, who had not seen the
women, followed the crowd. But moth
ing unusual could be found in the pave
ment, and it was decided that it must
be a new superstition, such as had not
before been heard of. even in New York,
which is as cosmopolitan in superstitions
as it is in fashions.
