PREFERRED BEING JAILED.
the Music Lessons Took
Effect.

A burglar who entered a Harlem house
suffered a unique form of punishment. II
happened, says the New York Press, that
the family he had come to rob were in
conveniently early %risers, and before he
had half finished lis work he heard a
step on the stairs. Quickly gathering up
his booty, he slipped behind the piano, in
tending to make good his escape 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 parlor for a
couple of hours practice before breakfast.
When she had finished another daughter
was standing ready to occupy the stool
for another two hours.
Next followed the music lessons Of
each of the young ladies in turn. After
these lessons were over their brothers VIC
lin teacher appeared, and, seating herself
at the piano, began his accompaniment.
But this was too much. The burglar
rushed from his hiding place.
For heavens sake have me arrested"
he implored. A least there are no
pianos in jail

To Improve Ham,

It will add to the good taste if ham Is
cooked in water to which have been
added a cupful of molasses, one onion. a
few cloves and p~eppercorns, and a small
bunch of bay leaves. The ham should
cool in the water in which it is boiled.
After the skin is removed rub it with
brown sugar and brown for an hour in a

By HENRY JAMES,
Noted English Author and Novelist.

The literary world, and especially the literary
craftsman, has for many years taken Balzac,s great
ness for granted, for he was undoubtedly the greatest
master Of the greatest literary DEMONSTRATING.
Yet to-day the flood of 1000 and one cheap novels
that are rushed from the press receive columns OF
mention in the newspapers. while the name OF the
greatest novelist is scarcely mentioned. Balzacs
successes hang so closely together than an analysis
is almost impossible, except to take his whole work
in mass, while the writings OF loose and easy pro-
ducers of to-day can be easily a~nalyzed by a process
of elimination.

Morgantown is reported as hav-
ing gone enthusiastically wild over
the Hon. George G. Sturgiss on ac-
count of The purchase of the tin plate
mill there, and yet a paper or so say
he bought it for the Trust. Per-
haps Morgantown may find out what
that really means, since it is a fact
that the Trust in these days oper-
ates only where it suits it. The
past several years the idea has pre-
vailed that possession by the octopus
generally meant inactivity in many
sections. Morgantown may yet
learn that it was a sorry day, on
which Mr.. Sturgiss bought the tin
plate mill. That city will then wake
mp to the fact that he merely acted
in his capacity as a paid attorney.
