number of precious stones had disap-

ported the matter to Nj. Raynaud,
commissioner Of police.
On the visit of the latter to the
shop, in order to conduct an inquiry,
he was at once struck by the chatter
ing of a parrot, which was moving
freely around the shop, and it &C.
CURED to him that the parrot might
be the thief. He accordingly COM
municated his suspicious to the jew
eler, and the latter, while stoutly
maintaining the innocence of the bird,
agreed to have an emetic admins
tered. The result was that the parrot
disgorged over $1,000 worth of dia-
monds and precious stones. In fu-

Beauty Is No Drawback.

A professor in a Philadelphia bust
ness college has informed a local re.
porter that beauty is an obstacle to the
employment Of women in business
houses. In Philadelphia, it seems,
business men do not, when they adver.
tise for stenographer, add the words,
mo pretty girl need apply" but they
go on that principle. 1t appears that
they fear frivolity as an accompani-
ment Of beauty. 1t is possible that
this is a good and safe rule in Phila-
delphia, but it is certainly not rule
that is honored here, and we doubt if
it is in any city where feminine beau
ty is not so rare as to excite suspicion
when it occurs. Nor is there the
slightest ground for the assumption
that pretty woman is likely to be
any more frivolous than a plain one.
The gift of beauty may, indeed, be
fatal if no strength go with it, but the
newer, the sounder chivalry of our
modern time assumes that goodness
goes with beauty as normally among
women as it does throughout the
whole gamut of nature.-New York
Mail.
