STEAL AND QUICKLY ESCAPE
Wherein the Modern Yegsman Differs from the OId-Time Robber
 of Banks.

It is estimated that there are in the United States about 100 real "soup men," expert users of the nitroglycerin cup. The number of outside yeggs, less experienced and less daring men, who have not been admitted to the highest degree of the fraternity, is placed at 500 Many of them, the Pinkertons admit, are never caught.
 Unlike the extinct bank burglar of the old school, who travelled in Pullman cars, spent weeks of prepa- ration around the scene of his in- tended crime, lavished money like a millionaire, and rather prided him. self on his reputation as man of genius, the yegg is never seen in the town where he plans haul until the hour of the deed when the "soup man" and his band have done their work they depart with no show, steal away like tramps, on stolen teams or handcars.
 Style is a thing apart from. the yegg. No matter what his success. he is content to wear his blue shirt, to live in the meanest of lodging houses and to endure the worst of discomforts.-

CHARMS TooTHACHE AWAY.

Hundreds of sufferers from tooth- ache at St. Petersburg, rich and poor alike, besiege the house of a doorkeeper named Lazaroff, who is widely believed to have magical pow CTS to charm away the pain. Laza- rolf claims to have inherited his powers from an uncle. His methods consist in the repetition of prayer and the gift to each sufferer of a sheet of paper to lay against the ache. He accepts no fee for his cures. Conventional dentists have tried in vain to stop his activity.

SUBSTITUTE FOR PETROL.

An experiment which will inter- est motorists has been tried in Paris. A large motor omnibus made the re- turn trip from Paris to Versailles, using naphthaline instead of petrol. The machine was fitted with 8 spe- cial carburetor. The naphthaline, which was placed in a reservoir, was in the form of powder or small crys- tals. The bus easily climbed the hill to St. Cloud, and good speed was obtained.-Paris Correspond ence London Daily Chronicle.

NEW BRANCH OF PHOTOGRAPHY

Aerial photography by means of a kite is not difficult, providing proper care is exercised. The camera is usually slung from bridle about fifty yards from the kite, or it may be actually attached to the latter. Better results, however, are generally obtained by "slinging" the camera. The shutter is manipulated by very light line, which, as the kite ascends, must be rapidly paid out in order that, for obvious reasons, it may hang perfectly loose until required.

Over half a million dollars pro-

methods of marketing were made
off the Georgia peach crop this
year, according to figures publish

first timeGeorgia Growers organ
lied into a mutual benefit ex-
change, modelled on the lines of
California fruit shippers associ-
ations. The result was that a
crop of nearly 1000 carloads of
peaches this year brought about
81, 0O0,00O or about the same
price which a crop of 5000 car
loads brought last year. The price
this year went as high as $2 pc,

for the South lies in the fact thai

The Salt Habit.

One who holds table salt as es-
sential should try eating the
skins of all vegetables and fruits
and the whole cereals, and see
whether the craving for salt does
not grow less as one perseveres.
Vegetables cooked ''in their jack
ets'' do not require salt The Or
ganic salts are in the skins. There
is the iron to make red blood and
rosy cheeks, even as it makes red
cheeks of the apple; there is
enamel to protect the teeth, even
as the tender meat of the fruit is
protected; there are the bone and
