HOW SALESWOMEN SPOT
 FEMALE SHOPLIFTERS

and-out criminal she can't help betraying herself by little, nervous. furtive actions, which distinguish her from the women who have come with the intention of shop ping or simply looking at the goods. They are sometimes detected in the strangest ways. One saleswoman caught a litter taking lace by seeing the theft in mir TOT, which was on the veil counter. The thief forgot the mirror was there, and seeing the clerks back turned. felt safe.
 "One of the girls at the Jewelry counter suspected that a woman there was steal ing rings, but the thief was so clever that she could not be sure. She told me of her suspicious and l followed that woman for a mile after she left the store, but I saw no signs of the rings. until she pre- tended to cough and put her handkerchief to her mouth.
 That convinced me that she had them. and when I confronted her I found that she had taken seven of our rings out of the store in the mouth.
 'I trailed one woman crook all through the store and saw her pick eight pockets. She was a bird. that woman. We had received word from Baltimore to look out for her.
 But many of those who steal are women of good families, who succumb to the temptation of taking something which they want and cannot buy. They are consequently not very skllful. and when detection follows. they collapse con- pletely."

the ship (the captain considered 1t dang erous to get very near) he set signals, but received no response. For several hours the weird bark remained within sight, but neither siren nor rocket pro- voked response.
 The captain swept the decks of the craft, but did not see living soul. It was apparently snip without crew, running at her own free will. The Arte- nis followed it in it's wild course as long as possible, but suddenly the hulk turned and made straight for the open sea. It sailed d straight course as though bound on some important mission, and so pro- ceeded until lost to view below the hori- zon line.
 What had become of the crew? Were there in reality some of them left on board. gone made under the strain guid- ing the ship they knew not where? No one will ever know Certain 1t is that not a man of them was ever heard from, nor has the ship itself ever been sighted again.
 On an average, according to reports from Lloyds, some sixty ships. with their crews, are so plotted from sight every year. In the year 1899 alone. seventy nine ships and twenty-four steamers dis appeared, and their fate Is today un- known A conservative estimate would place the number, of people so lost during the last fifty years at over 10000. The size or the stanchnes sof the ship seem to make no difference; big modern steam ships have disappeared as easily as the numberless little sailing craft.

H~ ~ALESWOMEN become clever de-
 tectives,' said the manager of q
 O big department store to a Post reporter Tt is part of the training of clerk to study the customers, and the close observation required to help shop pers to select goods makes one quick to notice any pecularity in the actions of the purchaser"
 "In spite of all the precautions taken" he continued, merchants lose large sums In thefts from the shops. but these sums would be infinitely greater if 1t were not for the cleverness of the girls behind the counter. You see, woman shoplifters oper- ate mainly in the departments which are in charge of women. It Is jewelry, laces, silk skirts. and other articles of women's apparel which they take.
 ''The policy of clerk. as soon as she feels that she has spotted 8 thief, is to give her all the leeway possible. Tho more she takes, the stronger the case we have against her. The clerks busy themselves about something else and pre- tend to pay no attention to the litter, who, feeling herself safe from detection, begins to loot.
 Little does she dream that a notice has been sent to all the other departments in the store and that every exit Is closely guarded Few of all those who try the game get off with their booty.

Defender of the Peek-a-Boo

From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
 The peek-a-boo waist is an unmitlgeted blessing. It affords comfort to the gentle wearer, both physical and mental It brings unadulterated joy to the heart Of mere man, who gazes at the half re- Vealed charms of neck and shoulders and realizes how beautiful the world is after all. It adds to the wealth of the pur- yeyor. who charges nine prices for these hlmy garments. as any family man will testify. and 1t doesn't hurt anybody.
 Clergymen should confine themselves to religious subjects and not endeavor to disrupt the feminine portion of their congregations by attacking the peel-a- boo waist or any other harmless feminine frivolity And under no circumstances should they call them bathing suits The revelations of peek-a-boo waist and those of bathing suit are as widely separated as they can possibly be: and a priest who compares the two shows lack of observation that Is productive aI- most of contempt.

 lfTv EREDITY? Look at these finger
 F nails of mine" said a physi-
 elan of somewhat stolid ex- terior. "Observe that every one of them is bitten down to the quick. They've been bitten down to the quick ever since l can remember, and in spite of everything l could do. I've tried all of most of the schemes that have been invented to stop folks from gnawing on their nails, and yet here are my disgracefully bitten nails to show how ineffective such schemes are-n my case, at any rate.
 Now. my mother bit her finger nails in precisely the same fashion. She had a beautiful pair of hands, with long. slen- der, tapering fingers, and it was one of the miseries of her existence that she simply could not get away from the habit of running her nails by biting them. Not only that, but my mother told me that her father inveterately bit his nails, and her father in turn, told her that his mother had tried all of her life to do away with the habit of biting her nails without success.
 tSo you see that in my case the nail biting habit is distinctly hereditary.
 My curiosity as to this matter led me to investigate it in the cases of other persons, all of them in my practice, who had the nailbiting ssha;ait,f aQdt | found that in every case I tack1ed tlieir ihlme- diate progenitors, on one side or the other, had the nail-bitng habit
 There's no reason whatever why I should bite my nails. It is asserted by some specialists in nerve diseases that
