I, *. . I A RETIRED BURGLAR. HE TELLS OF A CURIOUS INCIDENT IN HIS CAREER. A Nltrht's Work That Involved a DURRreenblp Surprinc, a Cool Headed Man and a Safe Tliat Had to Be Opened Before Morn Inc. "In the course of my time," said the retired burglar, "I have opened a considerable number of iron boxes of one sort and another, but never one under more peculiar circumstances than this one, in a house in a small town in this state. This safe stood in the dining room against the wall on one side. My light fell on it when I opened the door of the room to look in. It was a big, old fashioned safe, more like- I ly here to contain documents and mortgages and one thing and another like that than money. But a safe is always a pleasant thing to look at. It makes you think ! of money anyway. And so I was glad to see this safe, and, of course, I hoped I'd find a lot of stuff in it too. Then I started to swing my lamp around to take a glance at the rest of the room before walking in, but I hadn't inore'n begun to move ' it before I brought into the light a pair of , shoes with the heels on the floor and fho soles up at an angle of about 45 degrees, toes toward the safe. There were feet in those shoes, of course, and the legs went up from the other 6ide at an angle of 45 ! degrees to what I didn't need to look to 6ce was a man sitting there in a chair in . front of the safe asleep. "Well, now, you .know, that was unexpected, and while a man in my business must expect unexpected things and be ready for 'em and not be surprised or startled this was really so very unusual that I will admit I was just a little bit startled by it, and my hand must have shaken a little, find while under most circumstances that wouldn't have made the slightest difference ir the world here it made all the difference, for the hand that V* /-\1 /llT* r? A 1 OTY\T\ biiwiv v> as ujuu v/uo uw\uu^ vuo muiy, which was at that moment close to the jamb of the door. I knocked the lamp against it?just a little bit of a tick, but . enough to wake up the sleeper. I could | see his feet draw up toward the chair. < "Then I wanted to get out myself, and , I started along the hall I was in toward thecellardoor I'd Dome in at, but I hadn't taken two steps before I heard a man say: " ' Hold on there?wait I Come back!' "And I went back. It was a command, i but it was an invitation, too, and I was ready to meet it or to chance it, find I i went back to the dining room and looked i in and saw a man lighting the gas; he'd | been having for a light before a kerosene i lamp that I saw now standing on the ta- | ble with the oil burned out. The man , turned and says to me: , "'Come in.' , "He wasn't quite so tall as I was, but : he was a pretty solid sort of a citizen, who , could have held his own with me in a , 6quare rough and tumble easy, and he was , a man who was accustomed to bossing ( things and having folks do what he said. I couldn't tell for the life of me what he j was, what his business was, but I guess ( he was just simply the richest man in the town and spent his time looking after his property. And when I'd come in he says: " 'What's your business, my friend?' "And I said I was a traveling blacksmith. " 'H'ml' he says. 'You do most of your work nights?' "And I said yes, I did do more or less night work. " 'And I imagine you've got a handy ' kit of tools right in that bag there now,' he says, pointing to my bag, that I had set i down alongside of the chair I was sitting in. "And I said yes, I had tools there for any orummy wujtjl. " 'You see that safe?' the man 6ays, ' pointing toward the 6afe he'd been sitting in front of when I first looked in, and I looked at it and saw the big, old fashioned safe, looking very imposing and strong, ( but a safe that a man that knew how could cut into about as easy as he could a cheese, . and I said yes, I did. " 'Well,' says the man, 'I want to get into that safe. There's some papers in . there that I've got to have in court tomorrow morning, or this morning rather, at ' So-and-so at 10 o'clock. And I've broken . the key, and I've been trying here for half the night to break the safe open. Do you 1 suppose you could open it?' ""Well, I had to kind of cough to conceal 1 my emotion, because I could have opened , the old box, you know, in ten minutes, J but I said yes, I could open it, I thought. ' " 'Well, now,' 6aye the man, 'you pitch < in and open it,' and he sat down in a chair 1 there near the safe and got ready to see me ' work. And I put my bag up on the table I and got out my tools and went at it, with 1 the owner looking on and greatly interest- ' ed. "In about three-quarters of an hour I had t .e door of the safe off and laid on Its 1 back on the floor. ] " 'You certainly are a handy man with i tools, ehf' says the man, and then he asked i me to look through the safe and see that 1 there was no money in it, which was quite right. There wasn't any. 'You'd have got nothing,'says the man. 'But < you've saved me a lot of bother and trou- ' ble,' he says, 'getting those papers for me I In time, and I want to pay you for it. < How much do you think I ought to give I you?' , i "And I said I'd leave that to him. i " 'How much do you make a day?' he f says. i "And I told him my earnings varied; i that sometimes I made nothing and 6ome- < times I made a good deal, but I thought I i didn't average more than $20 a day. He j seemed to have his own ideas about that, , too, but he handed me over a $20 note and j said the work was worth it to him. i "And then he escorted me to the door. | And he didn't ask me not to come back . nor threaten nor warn nor anything. He i knew that my knowledge of his habits about money insured him from any fur- , ther visits from me, as far as that was ' concerned, and he wasted no words over | it. He just let me out the door and didn't ( even say good night. "Curious things happen in my business? Yes, they do, sure; no doubt about it. A man may go for days and weeks and nothing whatever happen; everybody sound asleep and you just walk in and walk out, and that's all there is to it, but when anything does happen it's more'n likely to be something out of the usual course." ?New York Sun.

English spoiling is the most unsystemic mid therefore the most difficult of all stems t<? ncauire. exceut the Chinese. tie French has not ft complete alphabet represent all its sounds in a simple and steinatic manner, but the French use 10 incomplete and defective Roman allabet much more consistently than we. ho'object of writing is to convey thought, n ideal system would allow of the convince or thought with the least expendiire of energy on the part of both writer id reader. The sounds of the spoken language tould be represented by the simplest, ost complete and most logical system, here are in English 40 distinct sounds; I distinct letters are needed to represent icm. With : ich a system the interminae difficulty of learning to spell would sappear, tho time spent in printing and ritiug unnecessary letters would be saved id the learning of tho language by chil:en and foreigners would be greatly falitated. There is no valid objection to cnnlHrnr nTnonf. fllffimilt.V nt itroducing it. The etymological objecon is unworthy of serious consideration. The etymology, for example, of "sophm" (which, by the way, does not import wise saying) resides in the real word, 3t in its. spelling. Any one who knows le history of the word would associate lat history with it, however it might be >elled. The Philological association fairs phonetic spelling. It is, of course, npossiblo to make so radical a change at ice, but it docs not follow that the benets of phonetic spelling, the metric system ?any other great improvement will come > us in tho surest and best way by simply aving the matter to chance. There is a indcncy to shorten spelling, but the benets to be derived from improvement are > great that definite action should be iken to secure them early and to make le changcs in the way that will be most jneficial. Changes for better and for orse will continue to como by chance as iey have come in tho past, but chance lange in so important a matter as the mguago of the most enlightened and iost progressive peoplo of the world lould not be satisfactory.?Self Culture.

Climbing rune in families, for steepleicks are often the sons of fathers who ere in the business, but it is somewhat Id that man, though he learns to swim ) well that armed only with a knife he in encounter a shark in its native elelent, and judged by the extent of his lining operations in comparison with the ze of his body surpasses by a thousand mes all animals that work underground, as never become a good climber or shown le slightest tendency to become "arbosal," as he has become aquatic and subsrrancan. South sea babies that cannot walk ill roll into the sea and swim, collieo" oys at 14 will take pick and lamp and de:end into the mine almost as naturally as oung moles, but we believe that in spite f the danger from wild beasts in forest igions and the fact that in such places iere is ten times more life on the level of le tree tops than on the ground there is o single instance of a tribe which, properr speaking, has become "arboreal" and sarncd to climb like monkeys. Though ot a few make huts in trees they approach aese by ladders, and except in the huts hich they use as a refuge and sleeping lace they spend their time on the ground. Even in forests where the upper levels f the trees are so closely laced together lat a comparatively slight adaptation ould enable tho Indians to progress from ee to tree, and where nearly tho whole f tho fruit and the greater part of the irds and animals used for food are found aly in this "upper story," man is not, ad always refuses to become, a' 'climbing aimal." Natural repugnance to this inn of enterprise seems characteristic of ivage men, and even of animals which jn no risks whatever. African natives ho have only lived in one storied huts low the greatest dislike to going up ;airs and have been known to creep up on onds and knees, while large dogs when jquired to ascend stairs for the first time "ten refuse to do so except under strong jrsunsion and with evident reluctance.? ondon Spectator. ?
