The slick robbery of Diamond
Dealer Ferdinand Schiff's handbag
full of unset diamonds valued at
S250,000 indicates that his methods
at least have been copied with huge
success.
Schiff. who came from Paris to
visit the local trade, says the bag
disappeared like magic.
Schiff had the bag with him
when he was writing a telegram in
bank. 1t was on the floor be.
tween his feet He felt some little
movement, but paid no attention to
1t, for the room was crowded. When
he looked for his precious bag II
was gone.

The March of Industry.

Slaughte ing and meat packing is the
chief industry of the United States But
lumber saw mills and timber camps give
employment to the greatest number of
workers, and the -four mill stands first
with the greatest gain in the value OF
products. So says the last report of the
census bureau. In the last four and a
half years the increase lii TIE gross value
of our manufacturers has been as great
as the increase for the preceding ten. In
our factory system there were more than
two hundred thousand establishments If
all factory workmen, officials and clerks
were evenly distributed, each establish
nent would have thirty persons on their
payroll, and if values were evenly dis
tributed each factory or mill would turn
OUT product of a gross value of $4,000.
Out of the whole number of establish
ments about 10 per cent controlled about
so per cent of the business. Moreover,
of this 10 per cent about 1000 establish
ments, or only l Per cent of the grand
total, put out a product valued at IS per
cent of the total product value of our in
dustries. This l per cent employed %
per cent of all the wage earners. New
York, Pennsylvania. Illinois and Massa-
chusetts, arranged in their proper order,
contribute 80 per cent Of all establish
ments, employ 10 per cent of the workers,
and turn out about half the value of our
national manufactured products.

SOME MYSTERIES OF RANK.
Eomp1icated System of Our English
Cousins Makes Trouble.

Com p1icated System of Our English
Cousins Makes Trouble.
An African explorer tells of tribe
ne met whose members determined
worldly rank according to avoirdupois.
rXhe heaviest savage was chief of the
fr1be, the next fattest was first lieu
fenant, and so on. AS soon as a mem
Der gained in weight over the neighbor
next above him in rank he advanced
one step in authority. Wealth, looks,
personal popularity, capacity, were not
taken into consideration when deter
smining the standing of members Of
ethe tribe.
1t Is a pity our English cousins
could not adopt some such simple
amethod of determining rank, for their
present scheme is so complicated that
they themselves have difficulty in un.
derstanding it, while to the stranger
within the gates its technicalities are
absolutely bewildering, says Robert
Webster Jones in the Housekeeper.
Eor instance, we are told that at a
recent public dinner in London one
hour was spent in arranging the diners
I'm ante-prandial procession according
TO rank.
The general rule prescribes that the
army and navy shall have first place,
then the law, the church, medicine
gentlemen" not engaged in any pro-
fessiOn and, lastly, those in trade"
In the latter class, however, it appears
that wholesalers are considered more
respectable" than retailers, unless a
retailer happens to be knight or a
6aronet, which sometimes occurs, when
he takes precedence over his business
associates who are mere commoners
But not even all lawyers, it seems,
are gentlemen" The question arose
during recent case at law, and it was
decided that while ''barristers' are
Ngentlemen," solicitors" are not enti-
tied to that distinction. According to
English custom, young man who has
1ust been called to the bar is many
steps higher in the social scale than
mis- father who is a millionaire whole
sale grocer.
In addition to the few instances
cited, there are whole host of special
exceptions founded on birth, education
and other conditions that make the
English scheme of social precedence q
perpleXing study for those who desire
mo aristocracy in this country, though
Imaginative persons have endeavored
to create one of wealth.

Horror of Needless Noise.

Tt is the needlessness of most noises
that renders them insufferable. You
sleep very we'll through the roar of a
wintry storm, but if some one has for,
gotten to fasten a blind, and it begins
to bang, then you are lost; you might
as well get up and locate that blind
and fasten it first as last The mani
fold noises Of your steamers plunge
through the night, with the perpetual
wash Of the sea, unite in a lullaby to
which the worst conscience sinks into
TepOSe; but a snorer breaking from
the next stateroom recalls the memory
of all ones sins. The rush and leap
and incessant but varied grind and
lclang of the sleeping car become soott'
ing at last, but a radiator, beginning
to fizz and click after the steam has
been turned off, seems to leave the
would-be sleeper no resource but sui.
eide; if you could get at the second
engineer, and leave him weltering in
his gore, you could snatch a few cat
maps before morning; but you cannot
get at the second engineer after mid
night in most hotels. Continuous
noises and necessary noises are things
you can adjust senses or your spirits
to; but the noise without a reason,
without an apparent right, like the
knawing Of a rat in the wainscot, is
what drives so many to perdition.-W

WINTERING IN EUROPE.
Heavy Exodus of Americans Expect

Heavy Exodus of Americans Expect
ed by Steamship Companies.
Steamship people predict a marked in
crease in ocean travel this winter. Money
l. more plentiful than ever before, and
the state of general prosperity augurs
we'll for increased investments in foreign
travel. Americans already have earned
the reputation of being the greatest tour
lists in the world. The pace" as it is
known, of modern American life is so
swift that nervous cOllapses are of com
mon occurrence. In these cases change
of air and scenery is the first requirement,
and if the patients means allow trip to
Europe or a cruise in the Mediterranean
or the West Indies is usually the physi-
clans first command. The balmy air of
more restful southern countries is a well
come relief from the sharp winter climate
of American cities. Aside from those in
search of more healthful climes is that
large body of Americans who are aware
of the educational advantages of foreign
travel. Each year the number of students
and scholars, young and old, embarking
from the New York port in search of for
eign culture and experience grows larger.
