Seores of Men Who Rob Banks are Never Brought to the Bar of Juctice, “Alverd’s theft of $700,000 and Gchreiber’s of $106,000,” said an expert eccountant, according to the Philade?- phia Record, “go to show that in ell | business it is impossible to prevent dix: henest men from stealing. No matter how thorough the auditing may be, no matter how closely the heads watch @hose under them, every man who Randles money can steal, with a reason- ble chance of escaping . detection. That more such men don’t steal speaks ‘well for human nature, but I must qual- My this statement with the additiona! ene the? many do steal end are caught, but their employers, while discharging them, do not make publie their crimes. It isn’t charity which impels the em- Ployers to do this, though; it isa fear of hurting the credit of the firm. “You can safely say that 90 per errt. of the thieving employes of Philade!- phia are not brought to justice.

Iknow bachelor of 43 who in his youth robbed the bank that emrleyed him of $4,200, with which he speculated, hoping to take enough to marry. He lost all, was discovered and is still paying off, out of a paitry salary, that debt of shame. I know the histories of scores of defaulters, and in every case the thefts were, in a way, innocently begun. The money was taken with the deter- mination that it would be replaweit” Quloksilver Flasks, ‘The dettles or flasks used for trans- porting quicksilver are generally made of boilor iron and are cylindrical in shape, about 12 inches in height and four inches in diameter, with a eerew plug inserted in one end. The capselty of a flask is 76% pounds and {ts weight about 14 pounds. Such flasks are used by all producers o1 quicksilver, and pass through the hands of various dealers tifl they reach the consumer. The total num- ber used in this country cannot be very large, as the total product Jast year of quicksilver in the United States was but 28,879 flasks, and the wame fiask can be used again and again till it gets too rusty inside. A flask can easily Inst 25 sears. We un- derstand most of those now in use are made abroad, but an American firm also has mede them. Must of the sec- ond-hand flasks cau be bought for 28 er 30 cente apiece. Beauty to Attend the Queen, An interesting report is in cireula- tion te the effect that Queen Alexandra will be attended at the coronation by four duchesses dressed in cloth of gold, and wearing their robes and coronets. Those selected are said to be the duchesses of NM. orough, Montrose, Sut! and Portland, ‘They are num lameng the most beautiful womec a. + as Well as boys, of Hey Iceland, have contracted the ha of smoking cig grettes, and the law allows any adult man or woman who finds a boy or girl smoking to give the young of- fenders a sound spanking and te seize and destroy any cigarettes found ip bis or ber possession. “Say, mam, whar's them old histories that that av bow-leggod teacher left heer two years ago?” said Fried Capfield to his mother after be had arrived home. “They're out, piled away in the smoke- Pouse, somewhar among a lot of old trum- pery—what ye want with hist’ries, I'd like ter know?” After a long search among old shoes, trace chains, dried beans, corn cobs, and ether debria, red finally fished out Gold- gmith’s “History of Rome” and an old Eng: ligh history. With some labor he read the an history as far as the rape of the fuss, and, with a great grin and chuckle of exultation he laid it aside. Then he took up the history of the Norman con- quest, but dropped it when he read how creat King William, when a duke in Nor mandy, won his exasperating wife. Then Tt seems he threw it aside, and. plunging his hands | in his pockets, strode to and fro across be naPras his lips struggling to smile and whistle at the same time. “Mam,” said. Fred, carly the next morn- Ang, as he appeered in his best “duds” at the door of the smokebouse, where his mother ‘wag compounding some soap grease, oy want you to drop yer soap-makin’” ter-day ‘an’ go ter cookin’ up some good things.” “Why, what's up?” és “Never you mind, ole mammy!

Riding up in front of the house, he yelled “Hallo!” John McOoy, big brother of Ella’s, eame to the door. “Tell Eller to come out to the ferce e moment,” quietly spoke the horseman. Ella responded, interrogation points ix “step close to the fence a moment, Eller; Ym goin’ away, an’ I want to tell yer sum thin’.” She stepped up, her face quite pale, when Fred, making a huge hook of his left arm. {nstently caught her around the waist with it, lifted her ep in front of him, drove spurs in his horse and dashed furiously la squirmed and screamed, but the big gant Lye oe against his great chest smil. tly. “fon pate aod the boys will kill you!” she ; but the Sabines didn’t kil} folks like me, nor did the Romans you brag abont.

The Misses McFarland have been great travelers and it was upon one of their journeys through Europe that they met the present king of England, at that time prince of Wales. It is stated that the royal command to sing at the ceremonies proceeds directly from the king and is not the outcome of the plans of the committee which has this matter in hand.

Who hid the treasure is a complete mystery. Most of the coins antedate the revo- | lutionary war. A few of the gold pieces were stamped by the first coia presses set up in this country, but most of them are English guineas, | bearing on one side the héad of George III. and on the reverse side the English coat-of-arms. Join McDorald’s mother bought the valuable chest a third of a cen- | tury ago in a Philadelphia second- hand store. She paid only a few pen- nies for the plain lumber box and had it placed in the cellar of her home, where it was used as a potato dip until recently. It was four feet long by two wide aud three deep. Inventor Dies in Rench of Fortune. Edwarg Taylor Bradford, a mining engineer, died the other afterncca at 32 West Ninety-fourth street, where | he had been boarding. Early in the day he called at the office of Coron- | | er’s Physician O’Hanlon and told Dr. O’Hanlon that ‘he was suffering from heart disease, and that some patent medicines he had been taking seemed to be doing him more harm than good. Dr. O’Hanlon advised him to let the patent medicines alone and gave him a prescription. “I want to | live at least another week,” said Bradford, “because then I will get | $1,000,000° for an invention I have perfected.” Bradford went back to the boarding-house and laughed and joked.with two friends. About two o’elock they left him. An hour later he was found dead on his bed. A physician said he seemed to have died of heart disease. Bradford's in- vention, it is said, was a smelter. SQUELCZED BY WIDOW’S PIG. The Montana Statesman Got Mixed Up in a Story Intended to Hort David B. Hill, Myron Haskins, of Philadelphia, has | been relating a few reminiscences of | past national conventions, and in that ' connection was reminded of a funny anecdote in which Martin Maginnis, former delegate in congress from Montana, was concerned. Just prior to the democratic convention of 1888, which nominated Cleveland and Thur- man, David B, Hill, then governor of New York, was supposed to have pres- idential aspirations. In order to squelch them Hill’s enemies started a story to the effect that he had been & prime mover in a scheme to extract money for campaign purposes from the laborers on the new aqueduct by ; Means of a raffle for a pig, which was held at the home of a Widow Magin- nis. When the convention met “the Widow Maginnis’ pig” was a phrase in everyone’s mouth. Gen, “Pat” Col- lins, of Boston, was chairman of the convention, and in its early hours a member of the Montana delegation, which had an obscure position, climbed up on his chair and secured recognition. Collins did not know him personally, and naturally asked him to state his name. “Maginnis” was the answer, followed by a deaf- ening roar. It was too pat, and though he struggled manfully, Martin Maginnis was unable to make that speech. His voice was drowned by inquiries as to what had become of the pig. TRADE OF TIENTSIN. It Is One of the Most Important Come mercial Cities of the Chinese Coast. The bund, or water front, gives one some adequate idea of the commercial importance of Tientsin. The decks of Liverpooi or New York, although inany times greater in extent, are not | more crowded and busy. Here the lighters, anchored in the river, just across the way from the great ware- houses, are loaded with cargo to be | sent out or which has just been re- ceived from the ships at Taku. There | are mountains of bales done up in matting and bound securely with iron ney to the uttermost quarters of the globe; there are boxes and casks of Chinese make marked London or Hamburg, and in the midst of all this merchandise throngs of half-naked coolies swarm like insects, insects fur- nished with lusty and never-silent voices. There are tons of wool from Mongolia, camels’ hair, skins, char coal, and soda from Siberia, mats and grain. One now and then has whiffa of musty perfume, the breath of ori- ental bazars, spice and sandalwood, It is one of the busiest spots in the world and can furnish a succinct ob- ject lesson to one at all interested in’ the problem of our commercial rela- tions with the far east. ; ‘Trade in Russia, In a special report to the state de- partment Consul Heenan, at Odessa, says: “The sale of American agri- cultural machinery and implements « during 190 was the largest on record in this country. One well-known American firm, which has been long established in Russia, did a business which passed the million mark. | Other American firms also did a large ‘trade. The increased tariff exacted on certain American products has not thus far made much impression on their imports. It is probably too early to determine the effect.” } | to a clear | judiciously used will for their protection in the long jour- | ¢) COLD WATER AS MEDIOINE. Best’ Results Accomplished by Drinking Between the Meals. A daily bath is as tuch a matter of course with most people as break- fast or any other fixed event of the day. To a very great number of them an internal bath is 2 new proposition. Yet for the normal human being with the normal number of digestive ills, uncomfortable, but not serious, the in- ternal bath is very often the short cut brain and a comfortable body. Where other troubles complicate one’s physical horizon such miracles are too much to expect, but colé water almost always assist in a cure if it canr«: accom- plish it alone. One of the 1 : meth- ods of taking water as a m icine is in four doses—a glassful hal: .n hour before breakfast, one in the middle of the morning, another in the middle of the afternoon, agd a final ove on re- tiring at night. If cold water before breakfast is distasteful hot may be substituted. Taken at these times, when the stomach is comparatively empty, water is cleansing and purify- ing and tonic in its effect. It sometimes happens that indiges- tion is the result, not of too little water, but of too much at the wrong time. The man who drinks four or five glasses of ice water at a meal and then wonders why in the world his food does not digest is in this class. If he will indulge his love for water only vetween meals he wil) find himself a healthier and a happier man. The less fluid the better at meals is a safe rule for anyone who must take anxious thought of what he eats. Cold water particularly low- ers the temperature of the stomach, retards the process of digestion and makes easy the pach of dyspepsia, while water betwesn meals is only beneficial and desirable. “PAUL SPRAGUE” J.
