leave to submit the following report:
In the District Attorneys office we

And I've brought out bottle of your favorite
old I1pPecanoe bourbon, uncl lie, says Chandler,
openin up the bag and producin' quart size with
funny label on it. II propose, sir" he goes on,
that we pull the cork and drink to your health"
Say, you should have the change in Uncle
Lymans deep set eyes as his fingers closes around
the neck of that bottle and he holds it up to the
light
Sixty -four Tippecanoel That is correct, Chand-
ler says he, pattin the label. Why, l haven't
tasted that since-Chandler my boy, would you
mind turning the key in that door?"
Who it was he was barrin' out he didn't say; but
it wa n until the door was locked and the shades
pulled that the glasses produced and they goes
through the ceremony. That's what it was, a
mony. Not bein' in on the proceedin's, sets back
in the shadow and watches.
Must have been or less kick to that old Juice
for after Uncle Lyman had put away three or four
fingers he straghtens up his shoulders, lights cigar
and begins to ramble about old times like this
a fam mly reunion. He has good deal to say
about Elvira, and how she looked when they
first married, and how chummy they'd always been.
She was the most charming woman man ever
had for wife, Chandler, says he and that is why
it is my duty and pleasure to stay here, where l
see her at times. ..
See her!' says Chandler. "Why-why, what
do you mean by that, Uncle Lyman?''
Then just straight if he'd been tellin of
visit from of the neighbors the old Judge goes
to tell how the spook of his dear departed had got
into the habit of payin midnight calls about once
month. Honest, he calm about it, and seems
pleased over breakin the to Chandler that
you'd almost think he tellin' somethn that
really so.
l could see Chandler was all cut up at 1ndin' the
old boy gone nutty all at once; but he humors
him along and asks for details Where did he usually
see Aunt Elvira? And he it was her?
Uncle Lyman gets real eloquent then. OF course it
was his dear Elvira,-her figure her hair, even the
way she had of holdin' her head.
The place she always appears was in the long hall
way up stairs, the eadin from the L into
the main part of the old budin'. No, she never
stopped long enough for him to swap conversation,
or ask her how she liked the climate where she was.

A CLEVER PIcKPocKET.
He Was a Russian and Alarmed and
Surprised a Grand Duke.

One day at the dinner table of q
Russian grand duke a French ambas
sador extolled the dexterity of hi:
fellow countrymen, as exemplifed
among other things, in the clever.
ness of the Paris pickpockets.
81 should not wonder if the St
Petersburg pickpockets could give
them a start" replied the grand
duke. And, seeing an incredulous
smile play around the features OF
the ambassador, he added, "Will you
bet that before we rise from the ta-
bic your watch or some other valua-
bic will not be taken from your per-
SON"
The ambassador accepted the
wager for the fun of the thing, and
the grand duke telephoned to the
chief constable, asking him to send
at once the cleverest pickpocket he
could lay his hands on. The latter
was to receive the full value of ev-
cry article he managed to "annex"
and be allowed to go unpunished.
AThe man came and was put into
livery and told to wait at the table
along with the other servants. The
grand duke told him to give him o
sign as soon as he had accomplished
the trick. But he had to wait u
long time, for the ambassador,
whose watch was the article to be
experimental upon, always kept on
the alert and even held his hand to
his fob when conversing with the
most distinguished guests at the ta-
bic. At last the grand duke receiv-
ed the preconcerted signal. He at
once requested the ambassador to
tell him the time. The latter tri-
umphantly put his hand to his pock-
ct and drew forth a potato instead
of his watch! There was a general
burst of laughter, in which the am
bassador himself joined, though
with wry face, for he was unmis-
takably annoyed. TO conceal his
feelings he would take a pinch of
snutf-his snqffbox was gone! Then
he missed the seal ring from his
finger and lastly the gold toothpick
which he always carried about with
him in little case. Amid the hilari-
ty of the guests the sham lackey
was requested to restore the articles,
but the grand dukes merriment
was changed into alarm and surprise
when the thief produced two
watches, two rings, two snuffboxes,
etc. His imperial highness made
the discovery that he himself had
been robbed at the same time

Pink topazes and white sapphires
are initiated to perfection and pass
ed off successfully as the genuine
stones. The amounts paid for some
of them are considerable, varying
according to size and quality. These
stones are initiated by the aid of
heat and require very careful ma
nipulation. The pink topaz is made
by heating yellow topaz, which is
not of great value, to certain tenn
perature, when it gradually turns
to a very pleasing pink or delicate
rose color. The Saxon topaz and a
very pale sapphire can be made per-
fectly white, so as to resemble dia-
monds, but are more often passed
off as a white sapphire, which is
also Of much value. A Brazilian to-
paz by the same method can be
made to initiate a very fine ruby.

A man was arrested the other day
for stealing his own grip off an ex-
press wagon.
1T was game that he had work
ed with success on local expressmen
for several years" said the man who
had been instrumental in bringing
about the trickster's downfall. "He
moved frequently and always after
dark. Invariably, when the trunks
had been piled high into the wagon,
the schemer appeared with a suit
case which he wished hauled, Just
as matter of accommodation. The
unsuspecting driver obligingly ac-
cepted the extra bundle, which
somehow was always missing at the
other end of the line. Later the
owner of the grip appeared and
raised no end of row over its loss.
He claimed that it contained some
valuable goods, for which he de-
manded compensation. The dam
ages claimed were excessive, but in
all cases the expressman rather
than have any trouble compromised
for an amount that fully paid the
man for any risk incurred in steal
ing from himself" - New York

The Evolution of the "DoIl,"

A relic of the old days, probably
not much more than two centuries
ago, before little girls began to call
their toy babies "dolls" instead of
puppets" or ''poppets," is to be
found in pretty poppet," term of
endearment still sometimes heard.
No doubt 'popsy wopsy" is simply
an improved version of this. "Pup-
pet" is descended, of course, from
the French 'poupee" and the Lat
in 'pupa,' little girl or doll, from
both of which have come other Eng
lish words. 'Poupee" has given US
puppy" SO called because the tiny
dog was naturally petted as a play
thing, and the Latin word survives
in the sense of a chrysalis and has
a descendant in the "pupil of the
eye, the "baby" that any one may
see reflected in it.-London Chron-
icle.

A BASEBALL STORY.
The Pictures Of a Pitcher That Wers
on Exhibition.

Dad Clark, once a pitcher of the
New York club, who was perhaps
the most unconscious humorist the
game has ever known, could be
made TO believe the tallest story
ever told, provided the teller kept
y serious face, and this sublime faith
Of Clark's caused him to be ''Stung'
on many occasions.
One of the most notable cases
wherein Dad got ''stung" happened
one morning when that genial soul
and prince of good fellows, Parkc
Wilson, the New York catcher at
that time, came hurriedly into the
clubhouse just when the fellows
were preparing to don their baseball
clothes for morning practice and
excitedly exclaimed:
''Say, men, what do you think !?
As | came to the park this morning
l walked by Siegel, Cooper & Co.'S
place and saw big crowd gathered
about their largest show window.

up to see what the trouble was, and
what do you imagine caused the
street to become blockaded? Why,
nothing more than this-they have
the entire window filled with canned
goods, and on each can is the pic

and raced for dear life toward Sic

He arrived there all right, and,
rushing up to the window, he saw

they could be found, and on the
front of each can was the picture

Eqyptian Geometry.

The Ahmes papyrus doubtless rep
resents the most advanced attain
ments Of the Egyptians in arithme-
tic and geometry. 1t is remarkable
that they should have reached SO
great proficiency in mathematics at
so remote period of antiquity.
But strange indeed is the fact that
during the next 1000 years they
should have made no progress what
soever in it. All the knowledge of
geometry which they possessed
when Greek scholars visited them,
six centuries B. c., was doubtless
known to them 1000 years earlier,
when they built those stupendous
and gigantic structures, the pyra-
mids. An explanation for this stag
nation of learning has been sought
in the fact that their early discov-
cries in mathematics and medicine
had the misfortune of being enter
ed upon their sacred books and that
in after ages it was considered he
retical to augment or modify any
thing therein. Thus the books
themselves closed the gates to prog
