HABITUAL CRIMINALS.
All Are superstitious and Believe In
Signs and Omens.


Signs and omens.
Habitual criminals are very super
stitious. No pickpocket would dream
Of working" unless he had in his
pocket or somewhere about his per-
son either a small piece Of coal,
chalk OF "lucky stone" as a talisman
against misfortune, according to an
English writer. Even if the amulet
fails them and they are captured
with it in their possession they ac-
count for the fact by remembering
that they have disregarded some
other warning that was given them
earlier in the day For instance,
should a thief be riding on top Of an
omnibus and the horse slip, he re-
CARDS it as a warming that he must
do no work that day All habitual
criminals regard the Bible with ave.
To man almost they will lie with
out motive, but when in the witness
box they will do anything to evade
kissing the book. A common mode
of getting out of the difficulty is to
kiss the thumb that is helping to
hold the Bible instead Of the actual
book.
Should a pickpocket steal a purse
containing foreign money he regards
it as certain that before the year is
out he will have travelled in strange
lands. To find gold in a purse stolen
at a wedding is a sure sign of good
luck, while it is equally bad to
''work" at a funeral. BY every class
of criminals funerals are regarded
as tokens Of i'll luck. To meet one
while on the way to a house where
a burglary is to be carried out means
that death or Imprisonment awaits
the attempt. There is an old man
named Cowper, now in an English
prison serving his twenty-eighth
term Of imprisonment, who is a per-
feet encyclopedia on criminals SUI
perstitions. He firmly believes that
he can never be sentenced again
after his present term has expired,
because twenty-eight has always
been a lucky number with him.
If a burglar meets a sleeping dog,
he regards it as a sure sign that he
will be lucky for long time. 70 see
a flag flying over a private house is
taken as an invitation "to crack the
crib" Women who squint are i'm
mune from the attentions of the
criminal classes. No burglar would
break into house if he knew that a
maidservant who squinted was kept
there. Similarly a pickpocket would
have nothing to do with the posses
sions Of a woman with a cast in hel
eye. A man in the habit of passing
counterfeit coin will never attempt
to get rid of any to a woman who
squints.

True French Politeness.

81 congratulated Frenchman one
evening on the good manners of his
nation, and he was very much
pleased" said an American who had
visited France. "He told me an
anecdote illustrative of French po-
hteness.
"He said that during the revolu-
ton a noble was on the way to the
guillotine. As he rumbled in the
cart along the boulevards howls and
jeers from a half drunken crowd
were rained upon him, and finally a
young woman, as she ran along be-
side the tumbrel, cried: .
"'You tall villainl You will soon
be shorter by a headP
Does that please you, madam !?
said the doomed noble civilly.
"'Yes, it does she answered.
Then, said he, L do not die in
vain"

Hereditary chiIdIessnsss.

" discussed in New York woman's
club at one of its meetings, when
one of the members remarked that
women VIII, had no children were
not competent 10 talk on the sub
ject, although they always seemed
to be the most willing to do so.
ooh, of course" said another
member, eve all admit that it is "a
great misfortune to be childless and
that parents who have never had
children are much to be pitied."
The snicker that followed this re-
markable statement was drowned by
roar of laughter when still an
other member remarked that she had
noticed that childiessness was hered-
itary in some families in America.
