had brought fifteen civil actions against
her victims, similar to the suit of 100000

or her husbands, and pose as the injured
party.
Bertha Heyman, alias big Bertha" was
another famous confidence queen con-

head of the New York detective bureau,
regarded her as lone of the smartest conf
dence women in America"
Sophie Levy.
I Another woman "crook" who made large
sums of money in the seventies and early
eighties was Sophie Levy, alias Lyons, a
blackmailing adventures. She was the
wife of notorious bank burglar, and their
two sons became thieves. Her own mother
was shoplifter, SO that the family affords
good argument for believers in the theory
that crime is q hereditary disease.
Mrs Levy made her debut as a black
mailer by decoying a wealthy Boston mer-
chant to her room at a hotel. She threat
ened him with exposure if he did not fill
out a check for $4,000. He did So but it
happened that his bank account was bit
short of the amount. Questions were ask
ed and the plot exposed, but the merchant
refused to prosecute. Sophie was, there
fore, able to go on with her nefarious
work. until it was estimated that she had
extorted over s200,OOO from various persons
in known cases.
In one case she did not even visit or
threaten her selected victim, who was a
prominent man in Grand Rapids, Mich. She
merely sat down every day, for weeks on
end, in front of his house-the inference be-
ing of course, that she had a claim on
him and was meekly waiting for him to
acknowledge it. He didn't. When he could
stand it no longer, he turned the hose on
her, and then thrashed a man who ran up
to take her part. That ended his persecu-
ton.
Sophie served several short terms in
prison, but never received adequate pun
islment for the outrageous manner in
which she blackmailed scores of business
men in all the big cities of the country.

IAN energetic incubator drummer had

From Leslie's Week..

From Leslie's Weekly.
one of the most eccentric characters in
England is Lord Grimthorpe, now nearly
ninety years old, but still hale and busy.
He is a man of many fads and hobbies, and
one of these is clock-making He designed
the biggest timepiece in Great Britain, the
clock Of the Cathedral of ST. Paul in Lon
DON and he also is the designer of the great
clock in the Victoria Tower of the houses
of parliament. Doubtless it was his useful
ness in this line which caused him to be
elected president of the British Neurological
Institute. His lordship Is also an ecc,esi-
astical architect of note, and his plans
have been followed in the building of
churches and restoration of cathedrals. He
declines any remuneration for his services,
but he insists that his crest, which is a
boar's head. shall be prominently displayed
in the sacred edifices for which he has made
designs. This display of eccentricity on
his part is not taken altogether in good
part by those whom he has benefited, but
there seems to have been no serious protest
against it.. AS president of the Church of
England Burial Association, Lord Grim
thorpe is working to abolish the embalming
Of corpses, Theoretically sealed caskets,
vaults and tombs. and to bring about the
use of wickerwork collins, which will per-
NIT the rapid dissolution of dead bodies.
In this latter endeavor he has the approval
of King Edward, Sthe head of the English
church. Among other tokens of Lord Grim
thorpe's activity are many practical trea-
tises on bells. watches and clock-making.

A Nation of Housekeepers.
rom the Housekeeper.

from the HOuoekeeper.
A favorite fling of the French at the
English has always been that the latter are
a nation of shopkeepers. An English woman
has now called Americans "a nation Of
housekeepers." During recent visit to this
country she was struck by the fact that
SO many American women of means and
refinement either do their own work. or
actively superintend the domestic arrange
ments, taking a pride in this duty.
Our friend was surprised to learn that
IAN American woman will spend the fore
noon in cooking, or busting, or cleaning,
then dress herself like a duchess and sally
forth to the meeting of a fashionable club
where she is to read a learned paper, like
as not, or else call a carriage and make
a round of social calls. And her standing
does not seem to be impaired in the least
by the fact that during part of the day
she has done the work of a mental, nor has
it affected her own personal attractive
ness"
No other woman has done so much as the
American to emphasize the dignity of
labor.

"Ambidextrous. I"

From the London Chronicle.
statute of October IL, 1881, expressly
made it penal for a juror to take brides
from both sides. This was quite a common
practice in less scrupulous ages than our.
own, so. much so that "ambidexter," or,
"ambidextrous," is word that has had
an unusual history. The common fate of
words Is to suffer gradual degeneration of
meaning, to become less dignified or re-
spectacle. "Ambidexter," however, began
its English career as the word to describe
Inc Juror who had two equally handy
hands Tor purposes OF corruption. or the
enroraeer- the person who made 1t mis-
business to corrupt him. The use of -am-
pioextrous" in the more literal sense is
rather later. That 1t has entirely ousted
the other is sign of an advance in morals.
