Preferred Jail to Scales.

A burglar who entered a Harlem
house recently suffered a unique form
of punishment. 1t happened that the
family he had come to rob Were incon-
veniently early risers, and before he
had half finished his work he heard a
step on the stairs Quickly gathering
up his booty, he slipped behind the pi-
ano, intending to make good his es-
cape as soon as opportunity offered.
But opportunity did not offer, for it
appeared that the step he had heard
was that of one of the daughters of the
house, who had come down to the par
lor for couple of hours piano prac-
tice before breakfast. When she had
finished another daughter was stand
ing ready to occupy the stool for an
other two hours. Next followed the
music lesson of each of the young la
dies in turn. After these lessons were
over their brothers violin teacher ap-
peared and, seating herself at the pi-
ano, began his accompaniment. But
this was too much. The burglar rushed
from his hiding place.
"For heavens sake, have me arrest

no pianos in jailr'-New York Press.

Uharei, Cofee Is Peculiar.

Probably every one who has noticed
the green and roasted coffee sitting to-
gether in sacks in the dealers store
house has observed the difference II
size of the beans. 1t is a popularity
Of coffee that in roasting while it
loses considerably in weight it gains
in bulk. At the reddish brown stage
the loss of weight has been about 10
per cent and the gain in bulk about
80; at the chestnut brown, 20 and 30
per cent respectively. and, if carried
to a dark brown, % and 60. 1t is in
the roasting that the volatile oil to
which the delightful aroma is due is
developed, as it is not present in the
green berry. If the roasting is carried
too far-beyond light brown-this
oil is injured and destroyed, and the
disappointed housekeeper properly
complains that the coffee has been
roasted to death.

pm Counters.

When you buy pills do you stop to
count them before you leave the drug
store? Lots of people do. Indeed, one
observing drug clerk claims that the
person who does not is a rarity.
"What they all do it for l don't
know" he said in an aggrieved tone.
POSSIBLY they think they are getting
cheated Anyway, most drug store pa
irons have the capsule counting habit,
and if by chance the number they re
ceive does not tally with the prescrip-
ton they raise no end of fuss. If
the directions say, Take one pill four
times a day for five days and the Gus
toner finds that he has only eighteen
pills to be taken, he swears that he
has been done out Of two doses and

Genius Inimical to .Prizes..

There is not in existence a single
great opera, oratorio, symphony or in
deed any fine piece Of musical art
which is the result of the prize system
There is "Cavalleria,' which is drivel,
there are other works which are worse
drivel, but no one can name to me a
really fine work that has won prize.
The reason, though apparently ridicu-
lousy simple, is sufficient. In music
the big men contemptuously refuse to
compete for prizes. I know that in
sculpture it is otherwise Stevens We'll
lington affair, which, they tell me, is
kept in a cellar somewhere, is proof Of
that. But there is not fine prize play,
prize picture, prize poem, prize piece Of
music. Still, what has failed thou

For the Prudential and
Metropolitan Companies.
Perkins Vice Pres. Of Former.
Peabody Pres. Of Latter.
Story of W. A. Reads Railroad Stock
Purchase for Metropolitan.

New York, Dec. 13.-Two incidents
affecting the life insurance situation in
New York, today, overshadoWed the
legislative committee investigation.
While the committee was inquiring in
to the conduct of the Prudential Life
Insurance Co, and the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Co., George w. Perkins
resigned as first vice president and
chairman of the finance committee of
the New York Life Insurance Co. He
was succeeded as vice president by AL
exander f. Orr, president of the New
York City Rapid Transit Commission,
and as chairman of the finance COM
| mittee by John Claflin. head of the H.
+. Cla1in Co. Mr.. Perkins is a men,
Der of the firm of J. p. Morgan & Co.
Another important move in the sit
| uation was the election by the trustees
| Of the Mutual Life Insurance Co., to-
day, Of Charles A. Peabody to succeed
Richard A. Mct'urdy as president of
that company at $4,000 a year. Mr.
McCurdy'S salary was $150000. Mr.
Peabody is a lawyer, the American
representative of William Waldorf AS
tor and director in several banks and
other corporations, of which one is the
Illinois Central Railroad Co. Mr.. Pea
body also was nominated as trustee of
the Mutual Lif" Insurance Co. to sue
ceed Justice Rufus w. Peckham and
| Emory McClintOck was nominated to
succeed Elihu Root. They cannot be
elected as trustees until the next meet
| ing of the board.
United States Senator John F. Dry
den of New Jersey, president of the
Prudential Life Insurance Co., today,
| testified before the investigating COM
mittee and made a statement to the
committee of his reasons for favoring
| federal supervision of life insurance
| companies through a national insur-
| ance department which he said should
have high authority over them. This,
he said. would benefit both the COM
panies and the insured. The tendency
| of the holders of industrial policies in
| the Prudential and the Metropolitan
| Life to lapse was examined i'm great de-
! tail by Charles F. Hughes. counsel of
| the committed who quoted a statement
of the Prudential that - per cent. of
it's industrial policies lapse within five
years from the date of issue. Senator
| Dryden declared that this is much to
/
company rs well as from that of the
insured and that the tendency now is
| toward greater pcrsistency on the
| part of industrial holders than former
| ly. The senator asserted that indus
| trial insurance, even with high rates
and tendency to lapse. is the greatest
| economic force now in operation in this
! country.
just before adjournment. today Fa-
| ley Fiske. vice president of the Metro
| politan, told Of an incident in which
that company commissioned VIM. A.
Read to buy 1888 shares of railroad
stock for the company. Mr. Fiske said
| that Mr. Read, the same day. sold the
| stock to a company of brokers at $40 q
| share less than the broker sold it to the
| Metropolitan. Mr.. Fishe said he had
| tried to get the money back but Mr..
Read refused to surrender it.
